'Wait' in the Bible

But Paul's sister's son, having heard of the lying in wait, came and entered into the fortress and reported it to Paul.

Do not thou then be persuaded by them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they kill him; and now they are ready waiting the promise from thee.

asking as a grace against him that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying people in wait to kill him on the way.
