6:13–7:9 An interaction between the young women of Jerusalem and the man introduces his last major description of the woman’s beauty and his desire to hold her (see study note on 4:1–5:1). 6:13 Return: Or turn around. • Shulam: The place is not known, though some have identified it with Shunem (1 Kgs 1:3; 2 Kgs 4:11-12). Maid of Shulam (Hebrew shulammith) might be a wordplay on the name Solomon (Hebrew shelomoh). It would then be equivalent to saying “Solomon’s maiden.” • as she moves so gracefully between two lines of dancers? The man praises the woman’s grace and beauty to everyone.
