Did You Know This About Song of Solomon?

[134 words] Solomon is mentioned 7 times in this book, which is presented as a love song depicting Solomon’s romantic pursuit of a Shulamite girl. The book is arranged like scenes in a drama, and is filled with metaphors and near-eastern imagery. Perhaps one of the most striking features of the song is the richness of description the book contains. For instance, Song of Solomon refers to 21 species of plants, 15 species of animals, and 15 geographical locations from Lebanon in the north, to Egypt in the south. Song of Solomon portrays the pure and powerful joy of romantic love in God’s design. But we can’t forget that by the time of the writing, Solomon had collected 700 wives and 300 concubines, which went against God’s design for marriage between one man and one woman.  Matt CliftonFast Bible Facts podcaston YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts…
