Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when they had been there many days,.... Indulging themselves in pleasure, and spending their time in conversing on various subjects; and in order to carry on the conversation, and pass away time,
Festus declared Paul's case unto the king; in the following manner:
saying, there is a certain man left in bonds by Felix; the former governor in Caesarea, meaning Paul.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Festus declared Paul’s cause - He did this, probably, because Agrippa, being a Jew, would be supposed to he interested in the case. It was natural that this trial should be a topic of conversation, and perhaps Festus might be disposed to ask what was proper to be done in such cases.
Left in bonds - Greek: “a prisoner” - δέσμιος desmios. He was left in custody, probably in the keeping of a soldier, Acts 24:23, Acts 24:27.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 25:14. Declared Paul's cause unto the king — Festus knew that Agrippa was better acquainted with such matters than he was; and he wished, in some sort, to make him a party in this business.
