Shulamite

From: Concise Bible Dictionary: S By: George A. Morrish

Song of Solomon 6:13

Name introduced in the Song of Solomon. It is a feminine noun traceable, like Solomon, to Shalom, “peace.” It is the virgins who use this term. The union of the bridegroom and bride is such that she can be called by the same name. The “two armies” seen in the Shulamite doubtless refer to the union of Judah and Israel (Song of Sol. 6:13¹³Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies. (Song of Solomon 6:13)).
