Commentary on Song of Solomon 1:1 (Summary)

Song of Solomon 1:1 (ESV)

1 The Song of Songs, which is Solomon’s.

Song of Songs begins with the words, Song of Songs, of Solomon. I argue for a different translation: “Song of Songs, for Solomon.” The reasons for this may be found in the introduction.
