At the end of the young woman’s opening poem, we hear the voice of the chorus for the first time as they respond to her. The chorus at the end of this verse appears to be that of the broader community. The you
they refer to is masculine, so they are talking about the young man. They agree with the young woman’s praise of her beloved. The they
that is referred to is probably the virgins of Song of Solomon 1:3. The chorus agrees that it is not surprising that all the virgins find the young man excellent.
The love between the young woman and man is celebrated by the larger community because it is a good and pure love.1
4 Draw me after you; let us run. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will exult and rejoice in you; we will extol your love more than wine; rightly do they love you.
