This is a little hard for me… I don’t like sharing my notes as because of my thinking that whatever I say doesn’t make sense. But here,

Notes from reading Song of Solomon:

 

Sos 1:7 “Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth” “Tell me” Asking God “Soul loveth” Whom we love the most. The Lord knows whom we will love, we must ask and wait on His timing.

 

Sos 2:7 “I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, til He please.” “Charge” – Dare or demand.

Leave out “my” and it says it like this: “nor awake love, til He please” This is what my study Bible had to say: “2:7 ’til He please!’ Better, until it (love) pleases. Let love develop naturally; do not force it.”

Don’t awake love before time. It will cause a mess.

 

Sos 3:4 “It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mothers house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.” Wait, and when you have him, don’t let him go. The Lord will lead you to, and give you the ‘right’ person. Just wait, listen, and obey.

 

Sos 4:3 “Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.” – “Speech in comely” Women should have soft, kind words. Not out of line/place. Be like the Proverbs 31:10-31 woman.

 

Sos 5:6 “I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.” Stuck out. The whole chapter was a fare-seer of after my wedding night. Things will be very different.

 

Sos 6:5 “Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.” He like her eye? If so, we should be very careful with our eyes even more.

 

Sos 7 All of this chapter was about Solomon thought of his wife’s body and features.

 

Sos 8 They longed to be together, and their love kept growing.
