This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Heb 11:32. Περὶ, concerning) Συναθροισμὸς and a remarkable congeries,[71] first Subjects, then Predicates.-Γεδεὼν, κ.τ.λ.) The order of time is Barak, Gideon, Jephthah, Samson, Samuel, David, the prophets; and the reason of the change may be gathered from the note on the following verse. The Greek orthography is the same as in the LXX., יפתח, Ἰεφθάε, ε for χ, as in Νῶε.-Σαμουὴλ, Samuel) The mention of the prophets is properly put after Samuel. David was also a prophet; but Samuel was a prophet, not a king.-τῶν προφητῶν, of the prophets) Elijah, Isaiah, etc. Other believers are also intended, who were in any way connected with the prophets.
[71] Congeries, when several words, signifying things differing in species, are brought together in one heap or accumulation. See Append, on Symperasma.-ED.
