Song of Solomon 1:5
Song of Solomon 1:5
I am black, but comely; O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
The church in the preceding verses had directed her speech to Christ, where we have observed the request she makes, and the success of it, and also the comfortable and grateful frame of Spirit produced by it: here she turns herself to "the daughters of Jerusalem," and gives an account of her person and state, and delivers her mind to them in this and the following verse. Wherein may be considered,
I. The persons she speaks to, "the daughters of Jerusalem."
II. The character which she gives of her herself.
