Commentary on Ezra 2:55
Theological / DevotionalSolomon’s servants. King Solomon had apparently increased the service personnel of the Temple, inasmuch as the new buildings required much more attention. As the lowest rank of ecclesiastical workers, they are here mentioned last. They lived in separate towns, or in their own quarters in Jerusalem, and, though not Israelites, had agreed to keep the whole law. The Deuteronomic law required that they be considered a part of the congregation of Israel and be treated as such. Ten families of “Solomon’s servants” returned with Zerubbabel.
