Proverbs 24:15

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:

and they plotted together to get Jesus into their power by a trick, and to put him to death;

but information of their plot was given Saul, and although they kept watch day and night on the gates, in order to make away with him,

But Paul's sister's son heard of their intended attack, and he went and got into the barracks, and told Paul.

They urged him, asking it as a favor, to send for him to Jerusalem. They meant to lay in wait for him and kill him on the way.
