Matthew Poole and continuators on Ezra 2:55

55 The children of Solomons servants : the children of Sotai, the children of Sophereth, the children of Peruda,

Either of those Strangers and Proselytes, whom Solomon used in the building of the Temple, 1 King. 9. 21. to the service of which, as some add, he devoted them▪ as there should be occasion hereafter. Or, others who had lived in Solomons Family, and after his death, called themselves and their Families by that name, as esteeming it a great honour to them that they had been Servants to so great a Prince.
