Haydock's commentary
Servants, or subjects. The king of Israel has thus a plea to interest all his people, as the danger was common. (Salien)
He assumes the character of disinterestedness, as if he had been willing to abandon all his private property; knowing that Benadad would not accede even to that hard proposal. (Haydock)
Thus "Nero consulted the first men of the city, whether they would prefer a doubtful war or a disgraceful peace." (Tacitus, An. xv.)
