2 Corinthians 11:32
<< 2 Corinthians 11:32 >>
In Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me, (NASB ©1995)

Acts 9:2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

Acts 9:24 but their plot became known to Saul. They were also watching the gates day and night so that they might put him to death; (NASB ©1995)


In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

Damascus. 26 Ac 9:24,25

Aretas. This Aretas was an Arabian king, and the father-in-law of Herod Antipas, upon whom he made war in consequence of his having divorced his daughter. Herod applied to Tiberius for help, who sent Vitellius to reduce Aretas, and to bring him alive or dead to Rome. By some means or other Vitellius delayed his operations, and in the mean time Tiberius died; and it is probable that Aretas, who was thus snatched from ruin, availed himself of the favourable state of things, and seized on Damascus, which had belonged to his ancestors.
