'Grew' in the Bible

When Israel grew strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out.

yet the Amorites persisted in living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon and in Shaalbim; but when the power of the house of Joseph grew strong, they became forced labor.

After that whole generation had died, another generation grew up after them that was not acquainted with the LORD or with what he had done for Israel.

They threw away the foreign gods they owned and worshiped the Lord. Finally the Lord grew tired of seeing Israel suffer so much.

And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.

And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.

And because she nagged him day after day with her words, and pestered him, {his soul grew impatient to the point of death}.
