From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 34. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds. You sympathized with me when a prisoner, and sent to my relief. It is not known to what particular instance of imprisonment the apostle here refers. It is probable, however, that it was on some occasion when he was a prisoner in Judea, for the persons to whom this epistle was sent most probably resided there. Paul was at one time a prisoner more than two years at Cesarea, (Ac 24:27,) and during this time he was kept-in the charge of a centurion, and his friends had free access to him, Ac 24:23. It would seem not improbable that this was the occasion to which he here refers. And took joyfully the spoiling of your goods.
