Hebrews 11:35 Context
33Who through faith subdued kingdomes, wrought righteousnesse, obteined promises, stopped the mouthes of Lions, 34Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakenesse were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35Women receiued their dead raised to life againe: and others were tortured, not accepting deliuerance, that they might obtaine a better resurrection. 36And others had triall of cruell mockings and scourgings, yea moreouer, of bonds and imprisonment. 37They were stoned, they were sawen asunder, were tempted, were slaine with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskinnes, and goat skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented.

Wesley's Notes for Hebrews 11:35
11:35 Women - Naturally weak. Received their dead - Children. Others were tortured - From those who acted great things the apostle rises higher, to those who showed the power of faith by suffering. Not accepting deliverance - On sinful terms. That they might obtain a better resurrection - An higher reward, seeing the greater their sufferings the greater would be their glory. #1Kin 17:22|; 2Kin 4:35
People's Bible Notes for Hebrews 11:35
Heb 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again. Examples are the widow of Zarephath (1Ki 17:17-24) and the Shunammite (2Ki 4:18-37). And others were tortured. This was especially true in the terrible persecutions recorded in the Book of Maccabees. That they might obtain a better resurrection.
