About this book

Old Testament

▾

Song of Solomon — Love poetry in eight chapters — the Bible's most surprising book. A chiastic structure; a bride and bridegroom alternating in dialogue; and a three-school interpretive tradition the site surfaces without adjudication.

Author: Traditional: Solomon (1:1 ''the song of songs, which is Solomon's''). Critical: the ''of Solomon'' construction allows ''about Solomon'' or ''to Solomon'' and opens the authorship question. §7.9 surfaces; most readings keep Solomonic association.
Date: Solomonic reading: c. 965–930 BC. Critical reading: later editorial compilation.

On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

"I have been careless and wanting in my duty, and yet I am my beloved's; " for every transgression in the covenant does not throw us out of covenant. "He has justly hidden his face from me and denied me his comforts, and yet my beloved is mine; " for rebukes and chastenings are not only consistent with, but they flow from covenant-love.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Literally, "I am for my beloved . . . for me." Reverse order from So 2:16. She now, after the season of darkness, grounds her convictions on His love towards her, more than on hers towards Him (De 33:3). There, it was the young believer concluding that she was His, from the sensible assurance that He was hers.
