From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Gifts -There is a special application to the office of the judge. The Aramaic Targum paraphrases the first words of this passage as: “he who gathers the mammon of unrighteousness,” using the words with special reference to wealth obtained by unjust judgments. May we infer that Christ’s adoption of that phraseLuke 16:9had a point of contact with this proverb, through the version then popularly used in the synagogues of Palestine?
