Translation of "Bided" in Arabic

Namely, because he was uncertain about his enemy’s schemes and machinations, he bided

ولأنه كان غير متأكد من مخططات ومكائد عدوه

Subutai bided his time and waited until the gaps  between the separate divisions of the allied army  

أقام سوبوتاي وانتظر وقته زادت فجوات الانقسام بين جيش الحلفاء
