Song of Solomon 2:3

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Song of Solomon 2:3. As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons.

The citron tree towered aloft in the midst of the forest, and it was covered with its golden apples. Such is Jesus Christ, the most lovely of all objects, and though there be some that pretend to contend with him, yet to the believer, rivals are left in the distance, nay, they are altogether forgotten. "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, the most distinguished and the most lovely, so is my Beloved among the sons." How dost thou know?

Song of Solomon 2:3. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

I know his loveliness, for I have felt it, and I not only have comfort without, but I have food within.
