Commentary

Commentary

Then he called his servants that ministered unto him,.... His domestic servants that waited on him : and said, put now this woman out from me; she not willing to depart at once, he ordered her to be put out immediately by force; using her and speaking of her in a very rude and scandalous manner, calling her this, leaving it to be supplied, as they would understand it, this base woman, this strumpet, &c. and bolt the door after her; that she might not return; this was more disgraceful still.
