Hebrews 11:36

And others had trial of cruel mockings ,.... As Samson by the Philistines; Elisha by the children, whom the bears devoured; Jeremiah by Pashur, and others; the Jews by Sanballat and Tobiah, when building the temple; the prophets, whom God sent to the Jews, as his messengers, Judges 16:25 .

and scourgings ; or smitings, as Jeremiah and Micaiah, Jeremiah 20:22 .

yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment ; as Joseph, Samson, and Jeremiah, Genesis 39:20 . Now of these things they had trial, or experience; their graces were tried by them, and they patiently endured them.
