Comentario citado sobre Cantar de los Cantares 4:13

The water of the Shiloah.¹¹Shiloah is a rivulet that takes its rise in the north-west of Zion, flowing between Zion and the Upper City, and falling into the Kedron, which runs into the Dead Sea. According to some Jerusalem is referred to by these words, but it is more correct to explain them as indicating the house of David, because the majority of the kings of this house were righteous, but the kings of Israel were all bad and wicked. מי השילח, literally: the canal, the water which is conducted by man, or which causes plants (שלחים) to sprout forth; comp. שלחיך Thy plants (Song 4:13).¹²Shiloah, though a proper noun, may still, like all names, be explained like a common noun. According to Ibn Ezra it is derived either from שלח to send; שילח the water which is sent or conducted by the industry of man through the bordering fields and gardens; or from שלח to make fruitful; שילח the river which waters the valley through which it flows.

Comp. השלח the sword (Joel 2:8). More correctly, however, it may be compared with שלחיך thy plants (Song 4:13), especially because of the words: on the day of the east wind.²⁶The figure the day of the east wind, leads the reader to suppose that there is also a reference to plants, which are damaged by the east wind. Samaria was punished with her own measure, she had quarrelled even with the people of her own villages,—which may be considered as her plants (שלחה)—therefore. הגה the Lord removed²⁷A. V., Stayeth.—Being in continual conflict with her neighbours, Samaria was taken away from amongst them. her; comp. ²⁸Hophal of יגה.הוגה he was removed (2 Sam. 20:13); ה replaces the radical י; as in ידה═הדה he stretched forth (11:8).

שלוחתיה Her trees.²⁰A. V., Her branches. Comp. שלחיך פרדס דמונים thy plants an orchard of pomegranates (Song 4:13).
