Song of Solomon 4:4

Compare all

2 ^aYour teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep
Which have come up from the washing,
Every one of which bears twins,
And none is¹ barren among them.

3 Your lips are like a strand of scarlet,
And your mouth is lovely.
^aYour temples behind your veil
Are like a piece of pomegranate.

4 ^aYour neck is like the tower of David,
Built ^bfor an armory,
On which hang a thousand¹ bucklers,
All shields of mighty men.

5 ^aYour two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle,
Which feed among the lilies.

6 ^aUntil the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh
And to the hill of frankincense.

Thy neck - This may represent the grace of faith, by which we are united to Christ, as the body is to the head by the neck. By which Christians receive their spiritual food, and consequently their strength and ability for action. The tower - Upright, firm, and strong; and moreover adorned with chains of gold or pearl, or the like ornaments. Of David - Some tower built by David, when he repaired, and enlarged his royal city, and used by him as an armory. Bucklers - Such as are reserved for the use of mighty men. A thousand is put indefinitely for a great number.
