Commentary on 1 Samuel 8:13

Theological / Devotional

Confectioneries. Literally, “spice mixers,” or “perfumers” (RSV). 1 Chron. 9:30 uses the words from the same root in referring to the work of certain sons of the priests who “made the ointment of the spices.” Samuel might also have mentioned the fact that many of their daughters would enter the king’s harem as concubines (1 Kings 11:3).
