提要
當書拉密女和她的新郎進入耶路撒冷，婚禮儀隊行列中有各種美好事物來描繪讚美新娘的美麗，她確實應受矚目。她佩戴了懸掛著許多錢幣的金項鍊，新郎形容那些錢幣像勇士的籐牌（小盾牌，4：4）。
祂覺得她毫無瑕疵（弗5：27），否則她就不配做國王的新娘。當婚禮大典完成後，祂稱她為他的新婦（4：8）。祂也稱她為「妹子」，意謂祂與她比朋友更親密（4：9），由於彼此相愛，完成結婚大典，把自己完完全全交給對方，並由對方得到最大的歡樂，就是上帝為每對夫妻制定在婚姻中所能享有的（5：12~16至6：1），賀客們則為這對結合的夫婦大事慶祝，繼續宴飲。
書拉密女又做了一個有關她丈夫的夢（第一夢見3：1~4），因祂不在了而驚醒。雖然她睡著了，但她的心因愛祂，不斷在想念祂，卻是醒的（5：2）。是的，當我們中心滿有對主耶穌的愛時，我們能不停的禱告。
在這次夢裡，那夜她丈夫來敲她門時，她才睡下，她以各種藉口逕不開門，後因看見丈夫由門孔中伸進的手而心動，才起身開門，不再在乎會把才洗淨的腳弄髒，卻發現丈夫已經走了，就出去找祂，在夢裡被巡邏看守的人打傷了，可能被認為是在夜裡遊蕩的壞女人（5：2~7），就驚醒了。這個夢使她瞭解她多麼思念祂，也教她當丈夫需要她時，不要找藉口推托。
書拉密女被耶路撒冷的眾女子稱為女子中極美麗的人時，趁機向她們描述祂的卓越超群，意在表達祂從頭到腳都完美無瑕。在將祂身體各部與許多美麗的東西比較後，下結論說她所愛的也是她朋友的這人「全然可愛」。我們的主耶穌是世上從古至今唯一毫無瑕疵的人，是我們所愛的，是我們的朋友，是全然可愛的──昨日是，今日是，永遠都是。
書拉密女央求耶路撒冷的女子們，如果看到所羅門時，告訴他她對他的愛（5：8）。她們就向她詢問所羅門的可能去處，書拉密女的回答較不明確，所羅門有許多土地和羊群，他可能去的地方很多。或許當她還在述說時，她所愛的他就回來了。他描述她的可愛，無瑕和超群，說她勝過他所有的后妃。當時所羅門的后妃數比他當政後期時少很多（參王上11：3）。不過卑微的書拉密女是他真心所愛的，正式結婚的新娘。從創世記，主原設定一夫一妻制，但男人的無情背棄了上帝的意願，形成一夫多妻習俗。
書拉密女為自己被抬舉到這樣高的地位而感到驚訝。人人都誇讚她，請她與他們同在以便欣賞她的秀美，她則謙卑的反問他們：「你們為何要看書拉密女？書拉密那點美？」（6：13）。基督的新娘是真正美麗的，因為他們反映了主耶穌基督的榮美。

Overview
As the Shulamite and her bridegroom enter Jerusalem in their wedding procession, they are accompanied by a large royal and military entourage (3:6-11). The bride's beauty is descriptively expressed by the bridegroom in chapter four. She is truly fair to behold and she is adorned with a golden necklace of coins which the Bridegroom likens to bucklers (small shields, 4:4).
He finds her without spot (Eph. 5:27), for if she were otherwise she would not be a worthy bride for the king. Now that the marriage ceremony is over, he refers to her as his spouse (4:8). He also calls her "sister", meaning she is even closer to him than a friend (4:9). With mutual love, they give themselves totally to each other in the consummation of their marriage, finding the greatest pleasure in each other, as God intended it to be for a married couple (5:12-16 to 6:1). The wedding guests continue to feast as they celebrate this new union of two lives.
Once again the Shulamite has a dream about her husband that was prompted by his absence (first dream in 3:1-4). Although she is asleep, she tells us that her heart is awake with love for him as she continually thinks about him (5:2). Likewise, we can pray without ceasing when our hearts are awake with love for the Lord Jesus.
In this dream, she had just retired for the night when her husband came and knocked on the door to her room. She made excuses and hesitated to unlock the door, but with the sight of his hand through an opening beside the door, her heart was thrilled and she got up to open the door, no longer caring if she soil her freshly washed feet. When she found him gone, she went to search for him, but in this dream the night watchmen beat her, likely thinking she was an evil woman prowling in the night (5:2-7). At this point, it appears that the dream ended. The dream made her realize how much she missed her husband and likely taught her to never make excuses when he desired to be with her.
The Shulamite, called the fairest among women by the daughters of Jerusalem, describes the excellence and superiority of her husband to them. The aim of her description of him is to show that he is perfect and unblemished from his head to this feet. After comparing his body parts to many beautiful things, she concludes that her beloved and her friend is "altogether lovely". Our Lord Jesus, however, is the only truly unblemished man that ever lived. He is our beloved, our friend, and the altogether lovely One. Just as He was yesterday, He is today and will be forever.
The Shulamite had asked the daughters of Jerusalem to tell Solomon of her love for him, if they should see him (5:8). Now they question her about his whereabouts, but her answer is evasive. Solomon owned much land and flocks, so he could have been in a number of places. It may have been while she was still talking that her beloved returned. He describes her loveliness, perfection, and superiority over all his other wives and concubines which at this time were relatively few in number compared to the large number he attained toward the end of his life (cf. 1 Kings 11:3). The humble Shulamite, however, was his true bride and true love. The Lord's intention from the beginning was for there to be one man and one wife, but because of the hardness of men's hearts, they abandoned God's desires and followed the custom of polygamy.
The Shulamite's response is to relate her astonishment at being elevated to such a high and honoured position. Everyone admired her and asked that she stay with them, that they might gaze upon her beauty, but she humbly asks them: "What [beauty] would you see in the Shulamite... ?" (6:13). The bride of Christ is truly beautiful because they are to reflect the Lord Jesus Christ.
