To put "in ward" was to place under guard, or in confinement, Ge 40:3; Le 24:12. Ward also seems to mean a guard-room, Ne 12:25; Isa 21:8, and the guards themselves, Ac 12:10, or any small band, 1Ch 25:8; 26:16.
When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went out and passed on through one street; and immediately the angel left him.
