Haydock's commentary
Depart. Instead of repressing the outrages of his subjects, the king enters into their jealousies, and banishes a wealthy person, (Haydock) as the Athenians so frequently did afterwards with respect to their best citizens. (Aristotle, Polit. iii. 9.) And Pharao used the same pretext, when he persecuted the Hebrews. (Calmet)
