This may seems like a surprising conclusion to the Song of all Songs. It speaks about the love between Jesus Christ and His church in a beautiful allegory. You might expect such a song to end with the bride, Shulamite (the princess of peace), moving into the palace of King Solomon (the prince of peace), to live happily ever after. Instead, we find the beloved and his bride separated—not due to a quarrel, but with Him expressing His desire to hear from her (8:13), and with her expressing her desire for Him to come to her (8:14).
