mū´zi - kal in´strōō - ments ( ושׁדּות שׁדּה , shiddāh we - shiddōth ): "I gat me ... musical instruments, and that of all sorts" Ecclesiastes 2:8 . Thus the King James Version and the American Standard Revised Version; the English Revised Version and the American Revised Version margin "concubines very many." The word occurs only here; the meaning is not certain, but it has nothing to do with music.
