• The Bridegroom is a king called Solomon or Shelomoh. The bride is a shepherdess called The Shulamite or Shulamith, - the feminine form of Shelomoh. (“Song of Solomon: Introduction” by H. Smith)
• The Bride. (Vs. 13). “What would ye look upon the Shulamite?” The Daughters of Jerusalem. (Vs. 13). “Return, return, O Shulamite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee.” (“Canticle 5: The Witness andd Communion of Love” by H. Smith)
• In this Canticle two scenes pass before us. In the first, the bride is displayed before the daughters of Jerusalem in all the comeliness the King has put upon her (6:13 to 7:5). In the second, the Bridegroom and the bride are found in happy and unrestrained communion (7:6 to 8:4). (“Canticle 5: The Witness andd Communion of Love” by H. Smith)
• The scene opens with the daughters of Jerusalem calling upon the bride to return. They had already heard from her lips the rapturous description of the Bridegroom, awakening in their hearts desires after the Bridegroom; then, apparently, she left them to join her Beloved in the garden of spices, and now they plead with her to return. Possibly the secret of their plea is the desire to learn more of the Bridegroom. (“Canticle 5: The Witness andd Communion of Love” by H. Smith)
• “What would ye look upon the Shulamite?” In reply to the call of the daughters of Jerusalem the bride expresses wonder that they should desire to look upon her. (“Canticle 5: The Witness andd Communion of Love” by H. Smith)
• This appears to be the answer of the daughters of Jerusalem. The text may be translated, "As it were the dance of Mahanaim." The allusion is probably to the day when Jacob left the land of Mesopotamia to go to the promised land with his wives, his children, his servants and all his goods. In the way "the angels of God met him; and when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim [i.e., two hosts or camps]” (Gen. 32:1-2). There the heavenly and the earthly host met, and here the Bridegroom and the bride have met in the garden of the King. (“Canticle 5: The Witness andd Communion of Love” by H. Smith)
• The Daughters of Jerusalem. (6:13-7:5). (Vs. 13). “As it were the dance of two camps.” (“Canticle 5: The Witness andd Communion of Love” by H. Smith)
