This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
All the servants, i.e. a great number of them, as that word is understood, Mat_3:5, and oft elsewhere. For many of them were aged and infirm, and many could not be spared from their attendance at court, or upon their employments, &c.
The servants of Pharaoh were courtiers of an inferior rank;
the elders of his house, the chief officers, and under him governors of his family and councils, who used to reside at or near the court;
and the elders of the land, the great officers civil and military, whose places of habitation and command were dispersed in the several parts of the land.
