    In Hebrews 11:32, the genitive singular masculine form occurs in a list following Gideon and Barak and preceding Jephthah; the APB renders the verse, "Time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Hebrews 11:32, the APB presents the name as "Samson" within a list of people. It confirms the verse-level list rather than supplying a separate lexical nuance.
