Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 23:31

31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

Not that they came to Antipatris by night; but they began that Journey by night, as verse 23. and went as much of it as they could by night, for fear of being discovered, and attempted upon by the Iews.

This Antipatris was built by Herod the great, and so called in memory of his Father Antipater; it was about Seventeen Leagues from Ierusalem, pleasantly scituated upon the Mediterranean Sea, between Ioppa and Cesarea ▪
