EXPLANATION

Verse 2. Servant, of free man of Saul, and a convert. Josephus. Menochius.—Yet he might very well be a Hebrew, who refused to accept his liberty, and continued as superintendent over the rest of his master’s house, (verse 10,) like Eleazar, Joseph, (Genesis 24 and 39) or the servant of whom our Saviour speaks. Luke 12:42. Calmet.
