Hebrews 11 is famous for proclaiming the great acts of faithful people through the Old Testament.  Each of the following is mentioned by name, and most have a brief description of their God-honoring acts:

                Abel (verse 4)

                Enoch (5)

                Noah (7)

                Abraham (8, 17)

                Sarah (11)

                Isaac (20)

                Jacob (21)

                Joseph (22)

                Moses’ parents (23)

                Moses (24, 28)

                Israelites (29)

                Rahab (31)

                Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, the prophets (32)

It is well worth reading the brief descriptions in Hebrews and then delving into the rest of the story in the historical books. You will find that each person had their foibles, but each “believed that God exists and that He rewards those who seek Him”  (Hebrews 11.6).
