The Daughters of Jerusalem

1 Where has your beloved gone,
aO fairest among women?
Where has your beloved turned aside,
That we may seek him with you? 

The Shulamite

2 My beloved has gone to his agarden,
To the beds of spices,
To feed his flock in the gardens,
And to gather lilies. 
3 aI am my beloved’s,
And my beloved is mine.
He feeds his flock among the lilies. 

Praise of the Shulamite’s Beauty

The Beloved

4 O my love, you are as beautiful as Tirzah,
Lovely as Jerusalem,
Awesome as an army with banners!
5 Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have1 overcome me.
Your hair is alike a flock of goats
Going down from Gilead.

Song of Solomon 6:2

Is gone - The spouse had hitherto been at a loss for her beloved, but having diligently sought him, now at last she meets with a gracious answer from God, directing her where to find him. The garden may signify the church catholic, and the gardens, as it follows, as also the beds, the particular assemblies of the faithful, in which Christ affords his presence. Spices - In which the gifts and graces of God's spirit, fitly compared to spices, grow. To feed - To refresh and delight himself. Lillies - Which may denote either, particular believers, whom Christ gathers to himself in his church; or, the prayers and praises of his people in the publick congregations.
