Song of Solomon 2:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

O my dove So the church is called, for her dove-like temper, and for her dove-like condition, because she is weak, and exposed to persecution, and therefore forced to hide herself in rocks; in the secret places of the stairs In the holes of craggy and broken rocks, which resemble stairs. Let me see thy countenance Be not afraid to appear before me; let me hear thy voice Thy prayers and praises. For sweet is thy voice, &c. Thy person and services are amiable in my sight.

Song of Solomon 2:14

14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
