2 Corinthians 11:32

The governor under Aretas (o eqnarxhv areta). How it came to pass that Damascus, ruled by the Romans after BC 65, came at this time to be under the rule of Aretas, fourth of the name, King of the Nabatheans (II Macc. 5:8), we do not know. There is an absence of Roman coins in Damascus from AD 34 to 62. It is suggested (Plummer) that Caligula, to mark his dislike for Antipas, gave Damascus to Aretas (enemy of Antipas).

Guarded (efrourei). Imperfect active of frourew, old verb (from frourov, a guard) to guard by posting sentries. In Acts 9:24 we read that the Jews kept watch to seize Paul, but there is no conflict as they cooperated with the guard set by Aretas at their request.

To seize (piasai). Doric first aorist active infinitive of piezw (Luke 6:38) for which see on Acts 3:7.
