Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
And they prevailed not (kai ouk isxusan). Here kai equals "and yet" or "but." A few MSS. read the singular isxusen like epolemhsen, but wrongly so.
Neither was their place found any more (oude topov eureqh autwn eti). First aorist passive indicative of euriskw, to find. Probably autwn is the objective genitive (place for them), just as in Revelation 20:11 autoiv (dative, for them) is used with topov oux eureqh. The phrase occurs in Daniel 2:35 Theod. and Zechariah 10:10. The dragon is finally expelled from heaven (cf. Job 1:6), though to us it seems a difficult conception to think of Satan having had access to heaven.
