Adam Clarke, on Neh 9:36

“Behold we ourselves this day are bondmen: and the land, which thou gavest our fathers, to eat the bread thereof, and the good things thereof, and we ourselves are servants in it.”

“Behold, we are servants - They had no king of their own: and were under the government of the kings of Persia, to whom they paid a regular tribute.”
