Intending

Now this is the situation regarding the manslayer who flees to one of these cities to save his life, having killed his neighbor accidentally, without intending to harm him:

Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as chief prince among his brothers, intending to make him king.

After all these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah. He laid siege to the fortified cities, intending to conquer them for himself.

He will speak out against the Most High and oppress the saints of the Most High, intending to change the appointed times and laws; and the saints will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.

What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?
