the Song of Solomon
The Song of Solomon is a love song written by Solomon and abounding in metaphors and oriental imagery. Historically, it depicts the wooing and wedding of a shepherdess by King Solomon, and the joys and heartaches of wedded love.
Allegorically, it pictures Israel as God's betrothed bride (Hos. 2:19, 20), and the church as the bride of Christ. As human life finds its highest fulfillment in the love of man and woman, so spiritual life finds its highest fulfillment in the love of God for His people and Christ for His church.
The book reads like scenes in a drama with three main speakers: the bride (Shulamite), the king (Solomon) and a chorus (daughters of Jerusalem).
The Hebrew title Shir Hashirim comes from 1:1, "The songs of songs." This is in the superlative and speaks of Solomon's most exquisite song. The Greek title Asma Asmaton and the Latin Canticum Canticorum also mean "Song of Songs" or "The Best Song." The name Canticles ("Songs") is derived from the Latin title. Because Solomon is mentioned in 1:1, the book is also known as the Song of Solomon.
