Song of Solomon 4:8-16

Song of Solomon 4:8 Chap. Song of Solomon 5:1. A true Lover's Pleading

With Song of Solomon 4:8 a new song, representing another scene, begins. In it the peasant lover of the Shulammite comes to beseech her to flee from the mountain region where she is detained, the home of wild beasts and the scene of other dangers. In Song of Solomon 4:9 he breaks forth into a passionate lyric, expressive of his love for her, and in Song of Solomon 4:16 she replies, yielding to his love and his entreaties. Ch. Song of Solomon 5:1 contains his reply.
