Hebrews 11:34

34 Some of them put out fires that were burning very strongly. Some of them got away from people who wanted to kill them with a sword. Other people who were weak became strong. They became powerful to fight wars. They won against foreign armies so that those armies ran away.

11:32These are six men who were Israelite leaders: Gideon (Judges 6:11-8:32), Barak (Judges 4:6-24), Samson (Judges 13:2-16:31), Jephthah (Judges 11:1-12:7), David (1 Samuel 16:13; 17:12-51; 2 Samuel 5:1-5), Samuel (1 Samuel 3:19-21; 7:3-17).
11:33Samson and David both killed lions, when lions attacked them. See Judges 14:5-6; 1 Samuel 17:34-37. Daniel also ‘caused lions to shut their mouths’. See Daniel 6:22.
