Song of Songs, or Song Of Solomon, is, superficially, an expression of love between King Solomon and his wife. There was however a greater reason that it was included in the Holy Bible. Both Jews and Christians find deeper symbolic meaning of the poems.Jews read it during Passover time as a reference to the Exodus, during which God made His original covenant with Israel, His "bride."
Christians regard it as the marriage song of the returning Jesus Christ and the Christian Church, which is referred to as the "bride of Christ." (Revelation 21:2,9 22:17)
