This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Alesander the coppersmith did me much evil; we read of three Alexanders; one Mar_15:21, the son of him that bare Christ’s cross; another Act_4:6, akin to Annas the High Priest; a third, Act_19:33, probably the person here meant, for he was an Ephesian; but he at that time was a disciple of Paul’s, as appears there; probably afterward he apostasized, and was excommunicated by Paul, 1Ti_1:20, which might possibly provoke him: what harm he did to him, and where, whether at Ephesus or Rome, it is not said. The Lord reward him according to his works; how far it is lawful to pray against our enemies, (as Paul did here against Alexander), See Poole "Psa_99:6", See Poole "Jer_11:20", See Poole "Jer_12:3".
