others--of a different class of confessors for the truth (the Greek is different from that for "others," Heb 11:35, alloi, heteroi).
trial--testing their faith.
imprisonment--as Hanani (Ch2 16:10), imprisoned by Asa. Micaiah, the son of Imlah, by Ahab (Kg1 22:26-27). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
And others had trial of cruel mockings - Referring to the scorn and derision which the ancient victims of persecution experienced. This has been often experienced by martyrs, and doubtless it was the case with those who suffered on account of their religion, before the advent of the Saviour as well as afterward. Some instances of this kind are mentioned in the Old Testament Kg2 2:23; Kg1 22:24; and it was frequent in the time of the Maccabees.
And scourging - Whipping. This was a common mode of punishment, and was usually inflicted before a martyr was put to death; see the notes on Mat 10:17; Mat 27:26. For instances of this, see Jer 20:2; 2 Macc. 7:1; 5:17. "Of bonds." Chains. Gen 39:20.
And imprisonment - see Kg1 22:27; Jer 20:2. |

| And others - The apostle seems here to pass on to recent examples. |

Had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings - We do not know the cases to which the apostle refers. The mockings here can never mean such as those of Ishmael against Isaac, or the youths of Bethel against Elisha. It is more probable that it refers to public exhibitions of the people of God at idol feasts and the like; and Samson's case before Dagon, when the Philistines had put out his eyes, is quite in point. As to scourgings, this was a common way of punishing minor culprits: and even those who were to be punished capitally were first scourged. See the case of our Lord.
Bond's and imprisonment - Joseph was cast into prison; Jeremiah was cast into a dungeon full of mire, Jer 37:16, and Jer 38:6; and the Prophet Micaiah was imprisoned by Ahab, Kg1 22:27. |
