But while in the former passage the contrast lay in number only, here it lies also in the value which comes to be set oSong of Solomon 8:11, he breaks abruptly into metaphor, so much more natural to him, "My vineyard," &c. For the figure comp. Song of Solomon 4:12-13. Baal-hamon.--Many are the conjectures hazarded as to the locality of this place. It has been identified (1) with Baal-gad, or Heliopolis (Rosenmller); (2) with Hammon, a place in the tribe of Asher (Joshua 19:28, Ewald); (3) with Balamo (LXX. ????????), a place mentioned in the Book of Judith, Song of Solomon 8:3, in connection with Dothaim, which (if the same as Dothan) has possibly been discovered to the south of the valley of Esdraelon.--Recovery of Jerusalem, p. 463 (1871). (Comp. Judith 4:10; Judith 3:9; Meier, Hitzig, &c) But no identification is necessary. If the poet had any definite place in his mind he merely used it for the play on words (Baal-hamon=lord of multitude). The correct translation is "a vineyard was to Solomon as lord of a multitude." The particle be often has this force. Exodus 6:3 : "I appeared as God Almighty." Comp. Proverbs 3:26; Isaiah 40:10; 1Chronicles 9:33, &c. We further note that Baal, as lord with us, often means husband, and Baal-hamon has a covert allusion to the polygamy of the king. A thousand pieces of silver.--Supply shekels. The substantives denoting weight, measure, or time are frequently omitted (Genesis 20:16). (Comp. Isaiah 7:23 : a thousand silverlings, whence we see that it was customary to portion off vineyards into sections containing a certain number of vines.) For worth of shekel, see Genesis 23:15. 8:8-12 The church pleads for the Gentiles, who then had not the word of God, nor the means of grace. Those who are brought to Christ themselves, should contrive what they may do to help others to him. Babes in Christ are always seen among Christians, and the welfare of their weak brethren is an object of continual prayer with the stronger believers. If the beginning of this work were likened to a wall built upon Him the precious Foundation and Corner-stone, then the Gentile church would become as a palace for the great King, built of solid silver. If the first preaching of the gospel were as the making a door through the wall of partition, that door should be lasting, as cased with boards of durable cedar. She shall be carefully and effectually protected, enclosed so as to receive no damage. The church is full of care for those yet uncalled. Christ says, I will do all that is necessary to be done for them. See with what satisfaction we should look back upon the times and seasons, when we were in his eyes as those that find favour. Our hearts are our vineyards, which we must keep with all diligence. To Christ, and to his praise, all our fruits must be dedicated. All that work for Christ, work for themselves, and shall be unspeakable gainers by it.Jump to Previous Baal Caretakers Entrusted Fruit Hamon Keepers Leased Pieces Shekels Silver Silverlings Silver-Pieces Solomon Thereof Thousand Vine-Garden VineyardJump to Next Baal Caretakers Entrusted Fruit Hamon Keepers Leased Pieces Shekels Silver Silverlings Silver-Pieces Solomon Thereof Thousand Vine-Garden VineyardLinks Song of Solomon 8:11 NIVSong of Solomon 8:11 NLT Song of Solomon 8:11 ESV Song of Solomon 8:11 NASB Song of Solomon 8:11 KJV Song of Solomon 8:11 Bible Apps Song of Solomon 8:11 Biblia Paralela Song of Solomon 8:11 Chinese Bible Song of Solomon 8:11 French Bible Song of Solomon 8:11 German Bible Alphabetical: a at Baal Baal-hamon bring caretakers Each entrusted for fruit had Hamon he his in its let of one out shekels silver Solomon tenants the thousand to vineyard was OT Poetry: Song of Solomon 8:11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon (Song Songs SS So Can) Christian Bible Study Resources, Dictionary, Concordance and Search Tools |
