Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

Song of Solomon 5:6

My beloved had withdrawn Denied me his comfortable presence, as a just punishment for my former neglect. My soul failed Hebrew, went out of me. I fainted, and was ready to die away; when he spake Or, for what he spake; for those endearing expressions related Song of Solomon 5:2, which then I did not heed. I sought him By diligent inquiry and importunate prayer.
