Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 13. - Confectionaries. Rather, "perfumers," makers of ointments and scents, of which Orientals are excessively fond. It is remarkable that Samuel does not mention the far worse use to which Solomon put their daughters (1 Kings 11:3), and to a less extent David and some other kings.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(13) Confectionaries.--Better rendered perfumers--that is, makers of ointments and scents, of which Orientals are inordinately fond.
