Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(33) Subdued kingdoms.--Better, overcame kingdoms. To all the deliverers of Israel of whom we have read in Hebrews 11:32 (and especially to David, 2 Samuel 8, 10, 11) these words will apply. They also "wrought righteousness," as each judge or king or prophet "executed judgment and justice unto all his people" (2Samuel 8:15).Obtained promises.--Do these words mean that these men of faith won promises of future blessing (such as were vouchsafed to David and the prophets), or that promises of deliverance were fulfilled to them? There seems no reason for doubting that the writer's language may include both thoughts. The words which follow (though illustrated in the history of Samson and of David) clearly point to Daniel (Hebrews 6).Parallel Commentaries ...Greekwhoοἳ (hoi)Personal / Relative Pronoun - Nominative Masculine PluralStrong's 3739: Who, which, what, that. throughδιὰ (dia)PrepositionStrong's 1223: A primary preposition denoting the channel of an act; through.faithπίστεως (pisteōs)Noun - Genitive Feminine SingularStrong's 4102: Faith, belief, trust, confidence; fidelity, faithfulness. conqueredκατηγωνίσαντο (katēgōnisanto)Verb - Aorist Indicative Middle - 3rd Person PluralStrong's 2610: From kata and agonizomai; to struggle against, i.e. to overcome.kingdoms,βασιλείας (basileias)Noun - Accusative Feminine PluralStrong's 932: From basileus; properly, royalty, i.e. rule, or a realm.administeredεἰργάσαντο (eirgasanto)Verb - Aorist Indicative Middle - 3rd Person PluralStrong's 2038: To work, trade, perform, do, practice, commit, acquire by labor. justice,δικαιοσύνην (dikaiosynēn)Noun - Accusative Feminine SingularStrong's 1343: From dikaios; equity; specially justification.[and] obtainedἐπέτυχον (epetychon)Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person PluralStrong's 2013: To attain, obtain, acquire.
