The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
servant This is the model servant:

(1) he does not run unsent, (Gen 24:2-9).

(2) goes where he is sent, (Gen 24:4); (Gen 24:10).

(3) does nothing else;

(4) is prayerful and thankful, (Gen 24:12-14); (Gen 24:26); (Gen 24:27).

(5) is wise to win, (Gen 24:17-18); (Gen 24:21).

Compare (Joh 4:7).

(6) speaks not of himself, but of his master's riches and Isaac's heirship, (Gen 24:22); (Gen 24:34-36); (Act 1:8).

(7) presents the true issue, and requires clear decision, (Gen 24:49).
