Hebrews 11:34

Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Not merely 'the fire,' but 'the power of the fire;' the last miracles of the Old Testament.

Escaped ... sword. So Jephthah (Judges 12:3); and David escaped Saul's sword (1 Samuel 18:11; 1 Samuel 19:10-9); Elijah (1 Kings 19:1, etc.), Elisha (2 Kings 6:14).

Out of weakness were made strong - Samson (Judges 16:28; Judges 15:19), Hezekiah, (Isaiah 37:1; Isaiah 38:1.) Milton says, 'The martyrs shook the powers of darkness with the irresistible power of weakness.

Valiant in fight - Barak (Judges 4:14-7). The Maccabees, sons of Matthias, Judas, Jonathan, and Simon delivered the Jews from their cruel oppressor, Antiochus of Syria.

Armies, [ parembolas (G3925)] - camps: referring to Judges 7:21. Or else the Maccabees having put to flight Syrian and other foes.
