I went down to the garden of nuts
To see the verdure of the valley,
To see whether the vine had budded
And the pomegranates had bloomed.
12 Before I was even aware,
My soul had made me
As the chariots of my noble people. vv.11-12
Read chapter 6
Just a little curiosity and BAM she was caught up in it. This young Shulamite country girl goes back in to history of how her and Solomon first met. She says she wasnt planning to meet Solomon but happened to run in to Solomon and his entourage. She explains that she just went down to check on the garden to see if anything ready for picking. She admits that out of curiosity wanted to see Solomon and his chariots and unaware of how far her curiosity got her until he had taken her. She admits that she brought upon herself this yoke with the king that she no longer wanted, it was just a chance meeting that got out of control. Though she explains this, Solomon still tries to keep her though she desire to return to her home and her beloved country boy (v.13).
Where and when has your curiosity led you too deep into something that you have taken on a yoke that you never intended? How do you get out of it?
