* two women.
  Le 19:29  De 23:17  Jos 2:1 
 * harlots.
   The word {zanoth,} rendered harlots, is here translated by the
   Targumist, the best judge in this case, {pundekon,}
   "tavern-keepers:"  see on Jos 2:1.

  Jud 11:1 
   Had these women been harlots, it is not likely that they would
   have dared to appear before Solomon; nor is it likely that
   such persons would have been permitted in the reign of David.
   Their husbands might at this time have been following their
   necessary occupations in distant parts.

 * stood.
