    where is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with
    thee.

        to know how to find him.

So 6:2

    spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

    (a) That is, is conversant here in earth among men.

So 6:4
6:4 Thou [art] beautiful, O my love, as {b} Tirzah, comely as
    Jerusalem, terrible as [an army] with banners.

    (b) Which was a fair and strong city, @1Ki 14:17.

So 6:5
6:5 {c} Turn away thy eyes from me, for they have overcome me:
    thy hair [is] as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.

    (c) This declares the exceeding love of Christ toward his
        Church.

So 6:8
6:8 There are {d} sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and
    virgins without number.

    (d) Meaning that the gifts are infinite which Christ gives
        to his Church: or that his faithful are many in number.

So 6:10
6:10 {e} Who [is] she [that] looketh forth as the morning, fair
     as the moon, clear as the sun, [and] terrible as [an army]
     with banners?

     (e) He shows that the beginning of the Church was small,
         but that it grew up to a great multitude.

So 6:11
6:11 I went down into the {f} garden of nuts to see the fruits
     of the valley, [and] to see whether the vine flourished,
     [and] the pomegranates budded.

     (f) He went down into the synagogue to see what fruits came
         from the law, and the prophets.

So 6:12
6:12 {g} Before I was aware, my soul made me {h} [like] the
     chariots of Amminadib.

     (g) I found nothing but rebellion.
     (h) Or, Set me on the chariots of my willing people.

So 6:13
6:13 Return, return, O {i} Shulamite; return, return, that we
     may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As
     it were the company of two armies.

     (i) O ye people of Jerusalem, for Jerusalem was called
         Shalem which signifies peace.
