Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
"For even supposing there are (exist) gods so called (II Thessalonians 2:4), whether in heaven (as the sun, moon, and stars) or in earth (as deified kings, beasts, etc.), as there be (a recognized fact, Deuteronomy 10:17; Psalms 135:5; Psalms 136:2) gods many and lords many." Angels and men in authority are termed gods in Scripture, as exercising a divinely delegated power under God (compare Exodus 22:9, with Exodus 22:28; Psalms 82:1, Psalms 82:6; John 10:34-35).
