      It’s a fun one for churches that insist you don’t “read between the lines” of the bible. The one I grew up in said it was a metaphor for God’s relationship with the nation of Israel. As opposed to the straightforward interpretation that Solomon supposedly had 700 wives and was still horny for one more.
