δικαιοσÏνην. The allusion is somewhat vague, but seems to refer to the justice of Judges and Kings (1Sa 12:3-4; 2Sa 8:15; 1Ch 18:14, &c.), and perhaps especially to the Judgement of Solomon. “To execute judgement and justice†belonged especially to the Princes of Israel (Eze 45:9).

λεόντων. Samson (Jdg 14:5-6), David (1Sa 17:34-35), Daniel (Dan 6:22), Benaiah (2Sa 23:20).
