Proverbs 9:3

Maidens — Her servants to invite the guests, ministers of the word whom he calls maidens for the decency of the parable; for wisdom being compared to a great princess, was fit to be attended upon by maidens. Highest places — From such high seats as those from which judges delivered their sentences, and officers made proclamations.
