   The difficult words {shiddah weshiddoth} are variously
   rendered.  The LXX. have [oinocoon kai oinochoas,] "male
   and female cup-bearers," with which the Syriac and Arabic and
   Parkhurst agree; Aquila, [kulikon kai kulikia,] "a cup
   and smaller cups;" Jerome, {scyphos et urceolos, (Vulg.
   {urceos,}) "goblets and pots;" Targum, "warm and cold baths;"
   others, as M. Desvoeux, "male and female captives;" others,
   "cooks and confectioners;" others, "a species of musical
   compositions," derived from Sido, a celebrated Phoenician
   woman, to whom Sanchoniatho attributes the invention of music;
   but others, with more probability, "wives and concubines;" and
   {siddoth} may be in this sense synonymous with the Arabic
   {seedat, domina, conjux} from {sada,} in {Conj. V. conjugium
   inivit.}  Of the former, Solomon had three hundred, and of the
   latter, seven hundred; and if they are not mentioned here they
   are not mentioned at all, which is wholly unaccountable.
