The woman aches for her man and so she searches for him in the city streets. When she finds him, they embrace and she won’t let go. She even brings him to her mother’s house where she herself was conceived.
Some say she is dreaming at this point. She is on her bed and dreams of searching for her and bringing home to the bedroom chamber one day. Certainly she is filled with longing not only of his companionship, but his bedroom intimacies. Whether dreaming or not, she is desiring her beloved.
Then the imagery switches to Solomon. He come with his entourage of warriors in a lavish, gold and silver chariot he made himself. He wears a crown, the one has mother made on his wedding day. It is a special procession of royalty.
Again we must ask, is this two lovers here? The one she finds in the streets and brings to her mother’s house? Or is this one and the same of Solomon? This chapter would lend me to think it was two. Solomon who was married by this point, and the lover she looks for in the streets.
