This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Some of his brethren, or part, as this Hebrew word is used, Dan_1:2; or the extremity, or end, or tail of them, i.e. the meanest of them for person and presence, as the word is taken 1Ki_12:31, lest if he, had presented the goodliest of them, Pharaoh might have required their attendance upon him, either at court or camp. And for the same reason for which he did industriously represent them to Pharaoh as contemptible in their employment, he might also present those to him who were so in their persons.
