Song of Solomon 4:6 - Adam Clarke

Song of Solomon 4:6

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.

7 ^aYou are all fair, my love,
And there is no spot in you.

8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse,
With me from Lebanon.
Look from the top of Amana,
From the top of Senir ^aand Hermon,
From the lions’ dens,
From the mountains of the leopards.

Until the day break - Until the morning breeze. See Song of Songs 2:17.

The shadows flee away - Till the sun sets.

Mountain of myrrh - Probably the same as the mountains of Bether, Song of Songs 2:17. Mountains where the trees grew from which myrrh and incense were extracted.
