{With most of them} (en tois pleiosin aut(936e)). "A mournful
understatement," for only two (Caleb and Joshua) actually reached
the Promised Land ( Nu 14:30-32 ). All the rest were rejected or
adokimoi ( 9:27 ). {Were overthrown} (katestr(9374)h(8873)an). First
aorist passive indicative of katastr(936e)numi, old compound verb,
to stretch or spread down as of a couch, to lay low (Euripides),
as if by a hurricane. Powerful picture of the desolation wrought
by the years of disobedience and wanderings in the desert by this
verb quoted from  Nu 14:16 .
