The word(s) "was" appears 365 time(s) in 307 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(231) Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.

(232) And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.

(233) So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.

(234) But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),

(235) Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.

(236) There was none of them but called the apostles liars, so just was My retribution.

(237) Bear patiently what they say, and remember Our servant Dawood, the possessor of power; surely he was frequent in returning (to Allah).

(238) When they entered in upon Dawood and he was frightened at them, they said: Fear not; two litigants, of whom one has acted wrongfully towards the other, therefore decide between us with justice, and do not act unjustly, and guide us to the right way.

(239) He said: Surely he has been unjust to you in demanding your ewe (to add) to his own ewes; and most surely most of the partners act wrongfully towards one another, save those who believe and do good, and very few are they; and Dawood was sure that We had tried him, so he sought the protection of his Lord and he fell down bowing and turned time after time (to Him).

(240) And We gave to Dawood Sulaiman, most excellent the servant! Surely he was frequent in returning (to Allah).
