CHAP. VI.

      In this chapter, I. The daughters of Jerusalem, moved with the description which the church had given of Christ, enquire after him, Song of Solomon 6:1. II. The church directs them where they may meet with him, Song of Solomon 6:2; Song of Solomon 6:3. III. Christ is now found of those that sought him, and very highly applauds the beauty of his spouse, as one extremely smitten with it (Song of Solomon 6:4-7), preferring her before all others (Song of Solomon 6:8; Song of Solomon 6:9), recommending her to the love and esteem of all her neighbours (Song of Solomon 6:10), and, lastly, acknowledging the impressions which her beauty had made upon him and the great delight he took in it, Song of Solomon 6:11-13.
