Exegesis
A second participial clause, labontes entolēn {λαβόντες ἐντολὴν | labóntes entolḗn} ‘having received a command’, is temporally subordinate and precedes the final action, indicating that the receipt of the message occurs before their departure.
In context — Acts 17:15
But those who were conducting Paul brought him as far as Athens, and having received a command for Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.
