Clarke's Exodus 9:11 Bible Commentary
The boil was upon the magicians - They could not produce a similar malady by throwing ashes in the air; and they could neither remove the plague from the people, nor from their own tormented flesh. Whether they perished in this plague we know not, but they are no more mentioned. If they were not destroyed by this awful judgment, they at least left the field, and no longer contended with these messengers of God. The triumph of God's power was now complete, and both the Hebrews and the Egyptians must see that there was neither might, nor wisdom, nor counsel against the Lord; and that, as universal nature acknowledged his power, devils and men must fail before him.
Barnes's Exodus 9:11 Bible Commentary
This verse seems to imply that the magicians now formally gave way and confessed their defeat.
Wesley's Exodus 9:11 Bible Commentary
9:11 The magicians were forced to retreat, and could not stand before Moses - To which the apostle refers, 3:9 , when he saith, that their folly was manifested unto all men.
