Summary

Song of Solomon 6:1–3 – Where Is He

What happens: The daughters ask where he has gone. She answers he has gone to his garden to gather lilies. She says, “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.”

What it means: Security replaces panic when trust is settled. Belonging anchors the heart in times of absence. Godly love rests in covenant identity.

Song of Solomon 6:4–10 – Matchless Beauty

What happens: He praises her as beautiful and awe-inspiring. Queens and maidens bless her and call her unique, like the dawn, the moon, and the sun.

What it means: Exclusive praise guards the bond. Love that honors with truth reflects God’s delight in His gifts. Public affirmation strengthens private union.

Song of Solomon 6:11–13 – The Shulammite’s Return

What happens: She goes down to the orchard, and suddenly she is set among chariots. People call, “Return, return, O Shulammite, that we may look upon you.” They watch the dance of Mahanaim.

What it means: Love draws attention, yet it belongs to the couple, not the crowd. Boundaries protect what is intimate from spectacle. Godly love resists being put on display for others’ curiosity.

Application

  • Root your relationship in covenant identity and trust.
  • Honor your spouse with truthful praise in public.
  • Keep boundaries that protect intimacy from outside pressure.

Bible

1Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

2My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

3I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.

4Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

5Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

6Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.

7As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.

8There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.

9My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

10Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?

11I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded.

12Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.

13Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
