Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Kings 25:24

"And Gedaliah sware to them and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you." — 2 Kings 25:24 (ASV)

fear not to be the servants. —Rather, Be not afraid of the servants. By “the servants of the Chaldees” Gedaliah probably means those who recognized the Chaldeans as their masters—that is to say, himself and those who adhere to him. He promises immunity for the past if only the captains and their men will settle down quietly as subjects of the conqueror.
