The calling of the Gentiles 14. the church prays for Christ's coming Solomon had a vineyard The mention of "Solomon" here is significant, as he is traditionally considered the author of the Song of Solomon. Solomon, known for his wisdom and wealth, is often associated with prosperity and abundance. The "vineyard" symbolizes not only literal agricultural wealth but also spiritual and relational richness. In the Hebrew context, vineyards were a sign of blessing and prosperity, often used metaphorically to represent the people of Israel or the beloved in the Song of Solomon. This imagery invites readers to consider the spiritual fruitfulness that comes from a life aligned with divine wisdom. at Baal-hamon He leased out the vineyard to tenants Each was to bring for its fruit a thousand shekels of silver Baal-hamon.--Many are the conjectures hazarded as to the locality of this place. It has been identified (1) with Baal-gad, or Heliopolis (Rosenmller); (2) with Hammon, a place in the tribe of Asher (Joshua 19:28, Ewald); (3) with Balamo (LXX. ????????), a place mentioned in the Book of Judith, Song of Solomon 8:3, in connection with Dothaim, which (if the same as Dothan) has possibly been discovered to the south of the valley of Esdraelon.--Recovery of Jerusalem, p. 463 (1871). (Comp. Judith 4:10; Judith 3:9; Meier, Hitzig, &c) But no identification is necessary. If the poet had any definite place in his mind he merely used it for the play on words (Baal-hamon=lord of multitude). The correct translation is "a vineyard was to Solomon as lord of a multitude." The particle be often has this force. Exodus 6:3 : "I appeared as God Almighty." Comp. Proverbs 3:26; Isaiah 40:10; 1Chronicles 9:33, &c. We further note that Baal, as lord with us, often means husband, and Baal-hamon has a covert allusion to the polygamy of the king. . . .
