Song of Solomon 8:11

Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.

Solomon had a vineyard. The joint-church speaks of Jesus Christ's vineyard. It had been transferred from the Jews, who had not rendered the fruits, to the Gentiles (Matthew 21:33). Now Israel no more complaints of herself - "Mine own vineyard have I not kept:" but "thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand" ().

At Baal-hamon - meaning the owner of a multitude: so Israel in Solomon's days (); so , "a very fruitful hill," abounding in privileges, as in numbers.

He let out the vineyard unto keepers - the Israelites (. "They made me the keeper of the vineyards" ).

Every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces - namely, silverings, or shekels. The vineyard had 1,000 vines probably: a vine at a silverling (), referring to this passage.
