Thayer's Greek Lexicon

ὑπέχω; properly, to hold under, to put under, place underneath; as τήν χεῖρα, Homer, Iliad 7, 188; Demosthenes, Plato, others; metaphorically, to sustain, undergo: δίκην, to suffer punishment. Jud 1:7 (very often so in secular authors from Sophocles down; also δίκας, κρίσιν, τιμωρίαν, etc.; ζημίαν, Euripides, Ion 1308; 2Ma 4:48).
