Albert Barnes Commentary Song Of Solomon 8:13-14

"Thou that dwellest in the gardens, The companions hearken for thy voice: Cause me to hear it. Make haste, my beloved, And be thou like to a roe or to a young hart Upon the mountains of spices." — Song Of Solomon 8:13-14 (ASV)

The poem, which opened with a chorus praising the king (Song of Solomon 1:2–4), concludes with a verse recited by the bride. She repeats the words of her former refrain from Song of Solomon 2:17, but with one significant change.

She no longer thinks of the possibility of separation. The Mountains of Bether (division) from Song of Solomon 2:17 are now the Mountains of Besamim (spices). From now on, their dwelling places are the same (compare to Song of Solomon 4:6).
