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".
