'Excel' in the Bible

"Reuben, you're my firstborn, my strength, and the first fruit of my vitality. You excel in rank and excel in power.

Then all of the assembled people, including the elders who were there, said, "We are witnesses! May the LORD make this woman who enters your house like Rachel and Leah, who together established the house of Israel. May you prosper in Ephrathah, and may you excel in Bethlehem!

Do not excel at wickedness, nor be a fool. Why die before your time?
