Barnes' Notes
Section 4:7-5:1: The king meeting the bride in the evening of the same day, expresses once more his love and admiration in the sweetest and tenderest terms and figures. He calls her now "bride" (spouse, Song of Songs 4:8) for the first time, to mark it as the hour of their espousals, and "sister-bride" (spouse, Song of Songs 4:9-10, Song of Songs 4:12; Song of Songs 5:1), to express the likeness of thought and disposition which henceforth unites them. At the same time he invites her to leave for his sake her birthplace and its mountain neighborhood, and live henceforth for him alone.
