Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(34) The violence.--Rather, the power (Daniel 3.).Escaped the edge of the sword.--Though it would not be difficult to trace the application of this and the following clauses to the heroes of Israel celebrated in the Old Testament history (the perils of David and Elijah and the "weakness" of Samson and Hezekiah will occur to the mind of all), it seems likely that the writer's thought is resting mainly on the history of the Maccabaean times. That the following verse relates to narratives contained in the Second Book of Maccabees is generally acknowledged; and no words could more truly characterise the general contents of the First Book than those of the present verse.Parallel Commentaries ...Greekquenchedἔσβεσαν (esbesan)Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person PluralStrong's 4570: (a) I extinguish, quench, (b) I suppress, thwart.
