Song of Solomon 3:3
Song of Solomon 3:3
The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
The church continues to give an account of her adventure, and what befell her when in the streets and broad ways of the city; as how she was found by the watchmen, whose business is to take up and examine persons that they meet with in the night; of whom she inquires after her lost spouse, but for the present can have no tidings of him. In these words we shall,
I. Inquire who are meant by "the watchmen,"
II. What by their "finding" of her.
III. Consider the question proposed by her to them; "Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?"
IV. Shew why no answer is mentioned, as returned to this question.
