Shulamite
A Shulamite (or Shulammite; , , ) is the woman in Hebrew Bible, a lover of King Solomon, mentioned by this appellation twice in the "Song of Songs". Background She is most likely called the Shulammite because she came from an unidentified place called Shulem. Many scholars consider ''Shulammite'' to be synonymous with ''Shunammite'' ("person from Shunem"). Shunem was a village in the territory of Issachar, north of Jezreel and south of Mount Gilboa. Other scholars link ''Shulem'' with ''Salem'', believing Solomon's bride was from Jerusalem. Still others believe that the title ''Shulammite'' ("peaceful") is simply the bride's married name, being the feminine form of ''Solomon'' ("peaceful") and only used after her marriage to the king. Solomon uses passionate language to describe his bride and their love (Song 4:1–15). Solomon clearly loved the Shulammite—and he admired her character as well as her beauty (Song 6:9).

Song Of Songs
The Song of Songs (), also called the Canticle of Canticles or the Song of Solomon, is a Biblical poetry, biblical poem, one of the five ("scrolls") in the ('writings'), the last section of the Tanakh. Unlike other books in the Hebrew Bible, it is erotic poetry; lovers express passionate desire, exchange compliments, and invite one another to enjoy. The poem narrates an intense, poetic love story between a woman and her lover through a series of sensual dialogues, Dream, dreams, Metaphor, metaphors, and warnings to the “daughters of Jerusalem” not to awaken love before its time. Modern scholarship tends to hold that the lovers in the Song are unmarried, which accords with its ancient Near East context. The women of Jerusalem form a Greek chorus, chorus to the lovers, functioning as an audience whose participation in the lovers' erotic encounters facilitates the participation of the reader. Most scholars view the Song of Songs as erotic poetry celebrating human love, not di ...

King Solomon
King is a royal title given to a male monarch. A king is an absolute monarch if he holds unrestricted governmental power or exercises full sovereignty over a nation. Conversely, he is a constitutional monarch if his power is restrained by fixed laws. Kings are hereditary monarchs when they inherit power by birthright and elective monarchs when chosen to ascend the throne. *In the context of prehistory, antiquity and contemporary indigenous peoples, the title may refer to tribal kingship. Germanic kingship is cognate with Indo-European traditions of tribal rulership (cf. Indic ''rājan'', Gothic ''reiks'', and Old Irish '' rí'', etc.). *In the context of classical antiquity, king may translate in Latin as '' rex'' and in Greek as ''archon'' or ''basileus''. *In classical European feudalism, the title of ''king'' as the ruler of a ''kingdom'' is understood to be the highest rank in the feudal order, potentially subject, at least nominally, only to an emperor (harking back ...
