Sidon. The well-known seaport on the coast of Phoenicia frequently mentioned with Tyre (see Vol. II, pp. 67-69; see on ch. 12:20). Courteously. Gr. philanthropos, “humanely,” “kindly.” Entreated. Gr. chraomai, “to use,” “to deal with,” “to treat” (cf. ch. 7:19). Paul had made a favorable impression upon all who came in close contact with him. To refresh himself. Or, “to receive hospitality.”
