Geneva Bible Notes Reformed @genevanotes

I [am] black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon. (f) The Church confesses her spots and sin, but has confidence in the favour of Christ. (g) Kedar was Ishmael's son, of whom came the Arabians that dwelt in tents. (h) Which within were all set with precious stones and jewels.

Sol 1:5 After this choral song, Shulamith, who has listened to the singers not without being examined by their inquisitive glances as a strange guest not of equal rank with them, now speaks: 5 Black am I, yet comely, ye daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, as the hangings of Solomon.
