1: ὑποβάλλω

(Strong's #5260 — Verb — hupoballo — hoop-ob-al'-lo )

"to throw or put under, to subject," denoted "to suggest, whisper, prompt;" hence, "to instigate," translated "suborned" in Acts 6:11 . To "suborn" in the legal sense is to procure a person who will take a false oath. The idea of making suggestions is probably present in this use of the word.
