Matthew Poole's Concise Commentary

Exodus 11:8

Thy courtiers and great officers, who now are so insolent and obstinate, shall come down unto me, both by their own inclination and necessity, and in thy name, and by thy command. That follow thee; that are under thy conduct and command; as this or the like expression is used Judges 4:10 1 Kings 20:10 2 Kings 3:9 Isaiah 41:2. In a great anger; not so much for the affront offered to himself, as for his incurable rebellion against God. Compare Mark 3:5.
