Song of Solomon Table of Contents

The Song of Solomon is written between various voices, such as the Shulamite woman, the “Daughters of Jerusalem”, the “Beloved” of the Shulamite woman, the Shulamite’s brothers, and the friends of the “Beloved”. In Song of Solomon 1:12-13, we read how this is a love story between King Solomon and the Shulamite woman, “While the king is at his table, my perfume sends forth its fragrance. A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, that lies all night between my breasts.” Also, the name of Solomon is used all through the book of the Song of Solomon relating to the Shulamite being his bride. The Shulamite was a dark-skinned black woman, very black, and much darker than any of the Jewish people. King Solomon was a Jewish person.

With the above paragraph being written, the whole book of the Song of Solomon reveals the “scarlet cord” of the Old Testament pointing to Jesus as the Christ, Son of God, and Savior. More specifically, a love story between our Lord Jesus and every one of us who has come to know Him in a heartfelt and born-again way.
