Song of Solomon 1: The Song of Songs

The book begins, The Song of songs, which is Solomon's. The title means the best of all songs. Song of Songs is a poem that celebrates the love between a bride and her groom in marriage, which God created as a good gift. In chapter 1 the bride asks where her beloved grazes his flock and rests them at noon. She is told to follow the tracks of the sheep and graze her young goats beside the shepherds' tents. Many Christians also read the Song as a picture of Christ's love for His church; this is an interpretation.

Song of Solomon 3: The Wedding Day

Song of Songs 3 describes King Solomon's wedding procession. Someone comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense. Behold, it is Solomon's carriage! Sixty mighty men are around it. King Solomon made himself a carriage of the wood of Lebanon. He made its pillars of silver, its bottom of gold. The daughters of Zion are told to go out and see King Solomon, with the crown with which his mother has crowned him, in the day of his weddings, in the day of the gladness of his heart.
