Commentary on Song of Solomon 6:4

Theological / Devotional

As Tirzah. In vs. 4–10 Solomon pours forth lavish praise of his bride.

Tirzah is probably to be identified with Tell el–Fâr‘ah, some 7 mi. (11.2 km.) northeast of Shechem, in the territory of Manasseh. It was doubtless noted for its beauty.

Comely as Jerusalem. Solomon takes his own capital city in southern Palestine to illustrate the outstanding attractiveness of his bride. Jerusalem was noted for its beauty (see Ps. 48:2; 50:2; Lam. 2:15).
