Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι

the Jews

Luke is using the name of a whole group, the Jews, to refer to one part of that group, its leaders. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the leaders of the Jews]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

κατεπέστησαν

stood_against

Here the expression rose up means that the Jewish leaders took action, specifically to oppose Paul. It does not mean that they stood up from a seated position. Alternate translation: [took action against]

ὁμοθυμαδὸν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Γαλλίωνος Δέ ἀνθυπάτου ὄντος τῆς Ἀχαΐας κατεπέστησαν ὁμοθυμαδόν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τῷ Παύλῳ καί ἤγαγον αὐτόν ἐπί τό βῆμα)

The word unanimously indicates that the Jews in Corinth recognized that they had a common interest and that they agreed to act together to pursue that interest. See how you translated the same word in [1:14](../01/14.md). Alternate translation: [all together]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἤγαγον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ βῆμα

˱they˲_led (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Γαλλίωνος Δέ ἀνθυπάτου ὄντος τῆς Ἀχαΐας κατεπέστησαν ὁμοθυμαδόν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τῷ Παύλῳ καί ἤγαγον αὐτόν ἐπί τό βῆμα)

The term judgment seat refers to the place where Gallio the governor sat when he made legal decisions in court. The implication is that the Jewish leaders wanted Gallio to judge and punish Paul. You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [brought him before the judgment seat so that the governor would judge and punish him]
