SONG OF SOLOMON CHAPTER 6
An inquiry after Christ, Son_6:1. The church’s answer, Son_5:2. The church confesseth her faith in Christ, Son_6:3. Christ showeth the graces of his church, Son_6:4, and the beauty of several parts, Son_6:5-10. He acquaints her where he had been, and what he had been doing, Son_6:11; and discovers his affection to her, Son_6:12; with an invitation of her to return to him again, Son_6:13.
These are the words of the daughters of Jerusalem, last mentioned, whom this full and pathetical description of the Bridegroom’s excellency had inflamed with love to him.
Whither is thy Beloved turned aside, to wit, from thee, as thy words imply, Son_6:6,8; where dost thou use to look for him, and to find him, when thou hast lost him? O thou who art well acquainted with all the places both of his usual abode, and of his diversion, inform us who are ignorant of them. That we may seek him with thee; we ask not with any evil design, but only because we desire an interest in him.
