Commentary on Song of Solomon 1:16

Theological / Devotional

Our bed is green. It is not certain whether the bride is here describing a couch in the palace, or whether she is referring to her former natural environment. Some see here a reference to the nuptial bed. It would be natural for the bride to describe her present felicities in figures borrowed from her familiar associations.
