Song of Solomon 8:13

But the chorus beg her to return and perform for them the 'Dance of Mahanaim' (RV), a sword-dance, no doubt, such as the bride executes, sword in hand, on the evening of the marriage, amidst a half-circle of men and women, whilst a poem (wasf= 'description') of the character of Song of Solomon 7:1 is being sung. The title Shulamite is derived from the town-name Shulem (otherwise spelled 'Shunem'), from which Abishag, the fairest maiden of her day, came (1 Kings 1:4): obviously it is another way of calling her 'fairest among women' (Song of Solomon 1:8; Song of Solomon 5:9; Song of Solomon 6:1).

The bridegroom once more (see Song of Solomon 2:14) begs her to sing. His companions are the young men (Judges 14:11) who attended him all through the festivities.
