EXPLANATION

Verse 18. Eunuchs; servants. Daniel 1:3. We only read of Manasses, who was taken to Babylon. Calmet.—But he might have many brothers, who might be reduced to a menial condition; (Salien) as the text seems to refer to the immediate sons of Ezechias. Bible.—It may, however, be explained of his descendants. Menochius. Calmet. 24:12.
