Song 2: 1
I am the Rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley
I am the Rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley
Dake's Study Notes:
The Shulamite claimed to be a wild flower of the field--a wild flower growing in great profusion--thus disclaiming the shepherd's compliment.
Life Application Notes:
(NIV Life Application Bible)
The Rose of Sharon and Lily of the valleys were flowers commonly found in Israel. Perhaps the girl was saying "I am not so special; I am just an ordinary flower," to which Solomon replied-" Oh , no you are extraordinary- a lily among thorns". Solomon used the language of love. There is nothing more vital than encouraging and appreciating the person you love. Be sure to tell your spouse "I Love You" everyday, and show that love by your actions.
