Bible verse
Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.
Song of Solomon 8:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Song of Solomon 8.
7 Mighty waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot sweep it away. If a man were to give all the wealth of his house for love, his offer would be utterly scorned.
8 We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister on the day she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall, we will build a tower of silver to protect her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. So I have become in his eyes like one who brings peace.
11 Solomon had a vineyard in Baal-hamon. He leased it to the tenants. For its fruit, each was to bring a thousand shekels of silver.
12 But 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.
13 You who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice. Let me hear it!
14 Come away, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
