¶Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

Come with me unto the mountains of myrrh, &c., mentioned Son 4:6,
a known mountain in the north of Canaan, which is sometimes mentioned as a pleasant and glorious place, as Son 5:15 Isa 35:2 Hos 14:6, &c., in regard of its goodly cedars; and sometimes as a barren wilderness, as Isa 29:17, and seat of wild beasts, as 2Ki 14:9, &c. Which latter sense seems more agreeable, both to the opposition which is here tacitly made between this mountain and the mountain of myrrh, and to the quality of the other mountains here joined with Lebanon, and to the last clause of the verse.

from these or other such-like mountains, which are inhabited by lions and leopards; which seems to be added as an argument to move the spouse to go with him, because the places where now she was were not only barren, but also dangerous, as being the habitations of tyrants and persecutors, and wild or savage people, who are oft described by the names of wild beasts, whose natures they have, and whose practices they imitate.
