V-AIA-3P  |  1× in 1 sense
To rise up against, attack, or assail someone with hostile intent
This term describes a coordinated hostile action, typically when a group rises up against someone in opposition or violence. In Acts 18:12, Paul experiences this when the Jews make a united stand against him before Gallio's judgment seat. The Spanish and French glosses both capture the uprising sense, while the English emphasizes the adversarial nature of the action.

Senses
1. sense 1 Describes the act of collectively rising up in opposition or hostility against a person, as when the Corinthian Jews united in their assault on Paul before the proconsul. The multilingual evidence consistently points to an organized, adversarial movement rather than individual conflict.
