Stopping

Pharaoh also said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you would be stopping them from their labor.”

But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the road, and when the man saw that all the troops were stopping there, he dragged the body off the road into a field and threw a garment over it.

…he consulted with his leaders and mighty men about stopping up the waters of the springs outside the city, and they helped him carry it out.
