Introduction
The bride relates to the chorus what appears to be an imaginary occurrence transacted in a dream (like that of Song of Solomon 5:2-8). The Targum takes this section to be typical of the wanderings of Israel after the Holy One in the wilderness, as the next Song of Solomon 3:6-11 is made to represent their entrance into the land.
Verse 1
By night - i. e., In the night-hours.
Verse 3
The city - One near the bride’s native home, possibly Shunem.
Verse 4
I held him - This begins the fourth stanza. The bride’s mother is mentioned again in Song of Solomon 6:9; Song of Solomon 8:2.
Verse 5
See Song of Solomon 2:7 note.
Verses 6-11
Daughters of Zion - So called here to distinguish them from the bride’s companions, who are always addressed by her as “daughters of Jerusalem.”
His mother - Bathsheba 1 Kings 1:11. This is the last mention of her in sacred history.
