Song of Solomon 8:11
Song of Solomon 8:11
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers: every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
In these words the little sister goes on to give an account of the success of the Gospel, the planting of churches, and establishment of Christ's interest in the Gentile world; together with the advantages which accrued to Christ thereby, under the metaphor of a vineyard, and the fruit thereof: where we have to consider,
I. The vineyard itself, and what is intended by
II. The owner of it, who is Solomon.
III. The place of its situation, at Baal-hamon.
IV. The letting of it "out to keepers," and who are meant by them.
