Hebrews 11:32

And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and ofJephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

b. NIV: And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets,

c. YLT: And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,

d. Amplified Bible Classic: And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,

e. Peshitta Eastern Text: And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae, and of David also, and Samuel, and the rest of the prophets:
