doxázō
they glorified
To ascribe or attribute glory, honor, or renown to someone or something; to extol, praise, or magnify.

Contextually, δοξάζω includes both the act of declaring or recognizing someone's honor, and, less commonly, causing someone to become glorious or honorable in status or reputation.
