John Gill Commentary Joel 2:29

"and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit." — Joel 2:29 (ASV)

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those
days will I pour my Spirit .
] Men servants and maidservants should partake of the gifts and grace of the Spirit in great, abundance; and many of them were effectually called by grace, through the ministry of the word; and some servants became ministers of it; all which appears from (1 Corinthians 7:21 1 Corinthians 7:22) (1 Timothy 6:1 1 Timothy 6:2) (Philemon 1:10Philemon 1:11Philemon 1:16) ; for that is not true what the Jews ^F16 say, the Shechinah or divine Majesty does not rest but upon a wise man, and one mighty and rich; or prophecy, as Maimonides ^F17 has it.
