It often conveys a sense of might or force, whether in physical, military, or metaphorical contexts. The term can be used to describe both human and divine strength, emphasizing the ability to overcome obstacles or adversaries.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, strength and power were highly valued attributes, often associated with kingship, military prowess, and divine favor. The concept of prevailing or overpowering was not only relevant in physical battles but also in legal, social, and spiritual realms. The Hebrew Bible frequently uses terms related to strength to describe God's sovereignty and the empowerment of His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to prevail over, overpower<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>overpower (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">תָּקֵף</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>prevail over, overpower</b></font> (late;
