God did smite him in a remarkable manner; for about five years
after this, after his house had been reduced to ashes, in a
tumult raised by his own son, he was besieged and taken in the
royal palace; where having attempted in vain to hide himself,
he was dragged out and slain.

VERSE 5
- I wist.
Soon after the holding of the first council at Jerusalem,
Ananias, son of Nebedenus, was deprived of the high priest's
office, for certain acts of violence, and sent to Rome, whence
he was afterwards released, and returned to Jerusalem.
Between the death of Jonathan, who succeeded him and was
murdered by Felix, and the high priesthood of Ismael, who was
invested with that office by Agrippa, an interval elapsed in
which this dignity was vacant. This was the precise time when
Paul was apprehended; and the Sanhedrin being destitute of
a president, Ananias undertook to discharge the office. It is
probable that Paul was ignorant of this circumstance.

Such execrable vows as these were not unusual among the Jews,
who, from their perverted traditions, challenged to themselves
a right of punishing without any legal process, those whom
they considered transgressors of the law; and in some cases,
as in the case of one who had forsaken the law of Moses, they
thought they were justified in killing them. They therefore
made no scruple of acquainting the chief priests and elders
with their conspiracy against the life of Paul, and applying
for their collusion and support; who, being chiefly of the
sect of the Sadducees, and the apostle's bitterest enemies,
were so far from blaming them for it, that they gladly aided
and abetted them in this mode of dispatching him, and on its
failure they soon afterwards determined upon making a similar
attempt. (ch. 2 25:2, 3.) If these were, in their bad way,
conscientious men, they were under no necessity of perishing
for hunger, when the providence of God had hindered them from
accomplishing their vow; for their vows of abstinence from
eating and drinking were as easy to loose as to bind, any of
their wise men or Rabbis having power to absolve them, as Dr.
Lightfoot has shown from the Talmud.
