b. to lead away captive: followed by εἰς with the accusative of place, Luke 21:24 (1 Macc. 10:33; Tobit 1:10).
c. figuratively, to subjugate, bring under control: 2 Corinthians 10:5 (on which passage see νόημα, 2); τινα τίνι, Romans 7:23 (yet T Tr א etc. insert ἐν before the dative); to take captive one's mind, captivate: γυναικάρια, 2 Timothy 3:6 (not Rec.)
