Song of Solomon 2:4-5 in Context (Verses 1–8 KJV)
1
I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2
As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.**
4
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.*
5
Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.*
6
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
7
I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.*
8
¶ The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
