Suborn
Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]
"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.
Webster's Dictionary [2]
(1): ( v. t.) To procure or cause to take a false oath amounting to perjury, such oath being actually taken.
(2): ( v. t.) To procure privately, or by collusion; to procure by indirect means; to incite secretly; to instigate.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [3]
