And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.

And all that dwelt in Lydda and Saron, [ ton (G3588) Saroonan (G4565); or, according to the best manuscripts, Saroona (G4565)] - the Sharon of the Old Testament [ Shaarown (H8289)]; not any town or village, but (as the article shows) the rich flat coast district which stretches southward from Caesarea to Joppa.

Saw him, and turned to the Lord - that is (according to the accustomed phraseology of this book) the Lord Jesus. As to the bearing of this statement on Aeneas' own discipleship, see the note at Acts 9:33. The "all" here need not be taken with strict literality. All that is meant seems to be, that this event resulted in a general conversion throughout the district.
