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 consulted how to get Jesus into their power by stratagem and put Him to death.

but information of their intention was given to him. They even watched the gates, day and night, in order to murder him;

But Paul's sister's son heard of the intended attack upon him. So he came and went into the barracks and told Paul about it;

asking it as a favour, to Paul's prejudice--to have him brought to Jerusalem. They were planning an ambush to kill him on the way.
