Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Subdues kingdoms - as David did (2 Samuel 8:1, etc.): also Gedeon subdued Midian, (Judges 7:1-25.)
Wrought righteousness - as Samuel did (1 Samuel 8:9; 1 Samuel 12:3-23; 1 Samuel 15:33; David, 2 Samuel 8:15).
Obtained promises - the prophets (Hebrews 11:32); through them the promises were given (cf. Daniel 9:21) (Bengel). Rather, 'obtained the fulfillment of promises' previously the object of their faith (Joshua 21:45; 1 Kings 8:56). Not "the promises," which are still future (Hebrews 11:13; Hebrews 11:39).
Stopped the mouths of lions (Daniel 6:22-23) - 'because he believed in his God.' Samson (Judges 14:6), David (1 Samuel 17:34-37), Benaiah (2 Samuel 23:20).
