“And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.”
“asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way. ”
“Requesting him to do them a favor against Paul, they urged Festus to summon him to Jerusalem, planning an ambush to kill him along the way.”

“Requesting Festus to give effect to their design against him, and send him to Jerusalem, when they would be waiting to put him to death on the way.”
“And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.”
Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.
However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
"Let them therefore," said he, "that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him."
When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
