1 The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s. Beloved
Song of songs – this is most commonly understood to mean, “the most excellent song.” However, it can also mean a collection of songs. In 1 Kings 4:32, we are told that Solomon wrote 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs.
The numbers 3,000 and 1,000 are naturally understood as “estimates.” The extra “five” songs are the five songs in the Song of Songs.
