'Took' in the Bible

Some Chaldeans took this occasion to come forward and maliciously accuse the Jews.

“As I kept watching,thrones were set in place,and the Ancient of Days took His seat.His clothing was white like snow,and the hair of His head like whitest wool.His throne was flaming fire;its wheels were blazing fire.

until the Ancient of Days arrived and a judgment was given in favor of the holy ones of the Most High, for the time had come, and the holy ones took possession of the kingdom.

The four horns that took the place of the shattered horn represent four kingdoms. They will rise from that nation, but without its power.
