The LXX have ïéíï÷ïïí êáé ïéíï÷ïáò, “male and female cup-bearers,” with which the Syriac and Arabic and Parkhurst agree; Aquila, êõëéêïí êáé êõëéêéá, “a cup and smaller cups;” Jerome, scyphos et urceolos, Vulgate 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.
