We will build upon her
A battlement of silver;
And if she is a door,
We will enclose her
With boards of cedar.
The Shulamite
aHe leased the vineyard to keepers;
Everyone was to bring for its fruit
A thousand silver coins.
(To Solomon)
You, O Solomon, may have a thousand,
And those who tend its fruit two hundred.
The Beloved
The Shulamite

Baal-hamon—equivalent to the owner of a multitude; so Israel in Solomon's day (I Kings 4:20); so Isaiah 5:1, "a very fruitful hill" abounding in privileges, as in numbers.
thousand pieces—namely, silverlings, or shekels. The vineyard had a thousand vines probably; a vine at a silverling (Isaiah 7:23), referring to this passage.
