Genesis 26:14 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. He had possession of flocks - He who blessed him in the increase of his fields blessed him also in the increase of his flocks; and as he had extensive possessions, so he must have many hands to manage such concerns: therefore it is added, he had great store of servants - he had many domestics, some born in his house, and others purchased by his money.
