egkataleipo denotes leaving someone or something without presence, support, or continued attachment.

The occurrences show leaving or being left in ways that withdraw presence, support, or continued attachment: people desert a defendant, Demas leaves, a gathering is neglected, and divine speech denies leaving. The same pattern appears in statements that a soul was not abandoned and in cries asking why God had forsaken the speaker.
