'Stronger' in the Bible

When Israel became stronger, they made the Canaanites serve as forced labor but never drove them out completely.

On the seventh day, before sunset, the men of the city said to him:What is sweeter than honey?What is stronger than a lion?So he said to them:If you hadn’t plowed with my young cow,you wouldn’t know my riddle now!

The Danites went on their way, and Micah turned to go back home, because he saw that they were stronger than he was.
