Compare all
10 aYour cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
Your neck with chains of gold. 

The Daughters of Jerusalem

11 We will make1 you ornaments of gold
With studs of silver. 

The Shulamite

12 While the king is at his table,
My1 spikenard sends forth its fragrance. 
13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me,
That lies all night between my breasts.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms
In the vineyards of En Gedi.

The Beloved

15 aBehold, you are fair,1 my love!
Behold, you are fair!
You have dove’s eyes. 

The Shulamite

16 Behold, you are ahandsome, my beloved!
Yes, pleasant!
Also our1 bed is green. 
17 The beams of our houses are cedar,
And our rafters of fir.

Song of Solomon 1:12

The king - My royal husband. Sitteth - With me in his ordinances. Spikenard - The graces of his spirit conferred upon me, here compared to those sweet ointments, which the master of the feast caused to be poured out upon the heads of the guests, Luke 7:38, in which ointments, spikenard was a chief ingredient. Sendeth - This denotes the exercise and manifestation of her graces, which is a sweet smelling savour in the nostrils of her husband, and of her companies.
