Song of Solomon 1:4 — KJV
Draw. Heb. mashak, here “to draw in love” (see Jer. 31:3; Hosea 11:4).
We will run. This address is probably by the bride’s attendants.
Into his chambers. Some see in vs. 2–4 an allusion to a bridal procession and in this phrase a description of the entry into the palace.
We will be glad. Presumably the bride’s attendants speak again.
The upright love thee. Or, “they love thee uprightly.” These could be words of approval spoken by the bride, who believes that all should feel kindly affection toward a man as charming as her beloved. She feels that all will approve her decision to marry Solomon.
