       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.
