Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then he called his servants that ministered unto him,.... His domestic servants that waited on him:

and said, put now this [woman] out from me; she not willing to depart at once, he ordered her to be put out immediately by force; using her and speaking of her in a very rude and scandalous manner, calling her this, leaving it to be supplied, as they would understand it, this base woman, this strumpet, c.

and bolt the door after her that she might not return; this was more disgraceful still.
