Song of Solomon 6:12

This is a difficult verse to understand. It seems to mean that, at once, it was time for her to enter her husband’s *chariot. That may be the carriage in 3:7. But she uses a different word for it in the original language.

It was time for her to leave with her husband. Again, she uses royal words to describe him. On this occasion, he seems like a king or a prince. And she is like the queen who rides next to him.

Solomon is in a carriage again. There seems to be a procession. Everybody is very happy for the king. He had waited for a long time to be with the woman that he loves. But now she is ready for him. Now, she wants to go with him.

At a wedding, the tradition was that the bridegroom would go to the bride’s home. Then he would take the bride to his own home. And everyone would be very glad.
