Barnes's Song-of-solomon 3:3 Bible Commentary
The city - One near the bride's native home, possibly Shunem.
Wesley's Song-of-solomon 3:3 Bible Commentary
3:3 The watch - men - The ministers of Christ, and rulers of the church.Go about - To prevent disorders and dangers. Him - She does not name him, because she thought it needless, as supposing a person of such transcendent excellency could not be unknown to men in that capacity.Their answer is not mentioned, either because they gave her no satisfactory answer, or because by their silence she gathered that they were unable to inform her; and being eager in the pursuit, she would not lose time.
