Hebrews 11:34
Compare all
32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of aGideon and bBarak and cSamson and dJephthah, also of eDavid and fSamuel and the prophets:  
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, astopped the mouths of lions,  
34 aquenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.  
35 aWomen received their dead raised to life again. Others were btortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.  
36 Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and aof chains and imprisonment.  
37 aThey were stoned, they were sawn in two,1 were tempted, were slain with the sword. bThey wandered about cin sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—  
38 of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, ain dens and caves of the earth.  
39 And all these, ahaving obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise,  
40 God having provided something better for us, that they should not be amade perfect apart from us.

Hebrews 11:34

Quenched the power of fire (esbesan dunamin purov). First aorist active indicative of sbennumi (Matthew 12:20). See Daniel 3:19-28.

Escaped the edge of the sword (efugon stomata maxairhv). Second aorist active indicative of feugw, old verb to flee. "Mouths (stomata) of the sword" (Luke 21:24). See I Samuel 18:11; I Kings 19:2.

Were made strong (edunamwqhsan). First aorist passive indicative of dunamow, late verb from dunamiv as in Colossians 1:11.

Waxed mighty in war (egenhqhsan isxuroi en polemw). "Became strong in battle" (Psalms 18:34 ff.).

Armies of aliens (parembolav allotriwn). Late compound (para, en, ballw) for encampment (Polybius, Plutarch), barracks (Acts 21:34, Acts 21:37), armies in battle line (Revelation 20:9 and here as in LXX and Polybius). Apparently a reference to the campaigns of Judas Maccabeus.
