Exegesis
The dative phrase tō Paulō {τῷ Παύλῳ | tō Paúlō} marks Paul as the target of their hostile movement, while the subsequent aorist ēgagon {ἤγαγον | ḗgagon} ‘they led’ with its object auton {αὐτὸν | autòn} ‘him’ presents the consequential act of bringing Paul to a judicial setting.
In context — Acts 18:12
While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews , acting together, rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat.
