Hebrews 11:33
_ _ subdued kingdoms — as David did (2 Samuel 8:1, etc.); so also Gideon subdued Midian (Judges 7:1-25).
_ _ wrought righteousness — as Samuel did (1 Samuel 8:9; 1 Samuel 12:3-23; 1 Samuel 15:33); and David (2 Samuel 8:15).
_ _ obtained promises — as “the prophets” (Hebrews 11:32) did; for through them the promises were given (compare Daniel 9:21) [Bengel]. Rather, “obtained the fulfillment of promises,” which had been previously the object of their faith (Joshua 21:45; 1 Kings 8:56). Indeed, Gideon, Barak, etc., also obtained the things which God promised. Not “the promises,” which are still future (Hebrews 11:13, Hebrews 11:39).
_ _ stopped the mouths of lions — Note the words, “because he believed in his God.” Also Samson (Judges 14:6), David (1 Samuel 17:34-37), Benaiah (2 Samuel 23:20). |
Hebrews 11:33-34
David, in particular, subdued kingdoms. Samuel (not excluding the rest) wrought righteousness. The prophets, in general, obtained promises, both for themselves, and to deliver to others. Prophets also stopped the mouths of lions, as Daniel; and quenched the violence of fire, as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. To these examples, whence the nature of faith clearly appears, those more ancient ones are subjoined, (by a transposition, and in an inverted order,) which receive light from these. Jephthah escaped the edge of the sword; Samson out of weakness was made strong; Barak became valiant in fight; Gideon put to flight armies of the aliens. Faith animates to the most heroic enterprises, both civil and military. Faith overcomes all impediments effects the greatest things; attains to the very best; and inverts, by its miraculous power the very course of nature. 2 Samuel 8:1, &c.; 1 Samuel 8:9, &c.; 1 Samuel 13:3, &c.; Daniel 6:22; Daniel 3:27; Judges 12:3; Judges 15:19, &c.; Judges 16:28, &c.; Judges 4:14, &c.; Judges 7:21. |
