This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
His servant (ton doulon autou). His bondservant. Vocator or Summoner (Est 5:8; Est 6:14). This second summons was the custom then as now with wealthy Arabs. Tristram (Eastern Customs, p. 82) says: “To refuse the second summons would be an insult, which is equivalent among the Arab tribes to a declaration of war.”
