The past tense of the word "behold" is "beheld." This word comes from Old English and is one of those irregular verbs that doesn't follow the usual rule of adding "-ed" to form its past tense. Instead, it changes the "o" to an "e". Kind of like how the goose becomes geese, when you go from present to past tense with "behold", it becomes "beheld". Magic, isn't it? It's one of the many quirks that make English so delightfully tricky and fascinating to learn.
