About [take to]

Hi,

I have a naive idea, and could any native speaker right it for me?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Deut 32:46

he said to them, "Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law.

[Take to heart all the words]----(my version) Take all the words unto heart.

for example:

I'm not sure if he'll take to the idea. ----(my version) I'm not sure if he'll take the idea unto his heart.

All this gloomy news is enough to make you take to drink. ---(my version) All this gloomy news is enough to make you take drink unto your heart.

Fater's ill, so he's taken to his bed. ----(my version) ....so he's taken his bed unto his heart.

The criminals took to the hill to escape from the police. ---(my version0 The criminals took to escape from the police unto the hill.
