Psalms 106:36 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. They served their idols - עצביהם atsabbeyhem, their labors or griefs - idols, so called because of the pains taken in forming them, the labor in worshipping them, and the grief occasioned by the Divine judgments against the people for their idolatry.
