The Song of Solomon
____________________________________
. The message of this book is different from what some may think. I have written a separate print commentary on it moving through the panorama of symbolism and revealing the intricate literary structure. It is partly here, too, revised. See my website catalog for The Song of Songs. http://gazellepublications.com. Images may load slowly.

0	Approach to this book — to assist your understanding
1	Love of beloved, daughters, I am dark, angry brothers
2	Among thorns but sustained, the beloved's voice, among rocks
3	Search for the beloved, men with swords, crowned by his mother
4	Seeing (understanding) the beloved; He recognizes her purity
5	He goes to his garden; she expects him, is disappointed, mistreated
6	He went to his garden, it matures, she an army with banners, Shulamite
7	She is mature, calls for her beloved to come
8	Not despised, comforted in trial, sealed, awaits her coming beloved

This view of the Tower of David from inside the wall of Jerusalem is probably quite similar to how it appeared to Solomon. This gives us an idea for Song 4:4 and for other images from Solomon's song.
