from 5442; TDNT - 9:241,1280; n f

AV - prison 36, watch 6, imprisonment 2, hold 1, cage 1, ward 1; 47

1) guard, watch
   1a) a watching, keeping watch
       1a1) to keep watch
   1b) persons keeping watch, a guard, sentinels
   1c) of the place where captives are kept, a prison
   1d) of the time (of night) during which guard was kept, a watch
       i.e. a period of time during which part of the guard was on
       duty, and at the end of which others relieved them.  As the
       earlier Greeks divided the night commonly into three parts,
       so, previous to the exile, the Israelites also had three
       watches in a night; subsequently, however, after they became
       subject to the Romans, they adopted the Roman custom of
       dividing the night into four watches
