This shows that the greater part of those that returned were of the poorer sort, since there were so few servants that belonged unto them; these came not into the above account:

and there were among them two hundred singing men and singing women;
among the servants, who were kept by persons of figure for their pleasure and recreation, see ( Ecclesiastes 2:8 ) , for that these were such as were employed in sacred service is not so clear, especially the latter, though some conclude it from ( 1 Chronicles 25:5 1 Chronicles 25:6 ) , but rather they were such as were employed at marriages, festivals, and funerals; though Jarchi thinks they were employed by the returning captives, to make them cheerful as they travelled along, (See Gill on Isaiah 55:12).
