“And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.”
While the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. The violence of some of the invited guests — seizing, shaming, and killing the king's servants — corresponds to the tenants' treatment of the vineyard owner's servants in the previous parable. Both parables encode the history of Israel's treatment of the prophets.
