Context — The Bride

10I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace. 11Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.

12But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.

13You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it! 14Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
