The verses around Song of Songs 2:4.
2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
Verse explanation
“Banner” here probably evokes a military or celebratory standard, raised over her as a public symbol — a poetic way of saying that the love between the two was openly declared, not hidden.
From the Song of Songs 2 study in Bible in Stories.
