While I don't pretend to know much about the Bible, I would like to suggest that Soloman had his imperfections. How he partook in the religions of his many wives is one example. I think by God's design the Bible consists of experiences of flawed people. Somehow God brings all these teachings together as a cumulative message. SoS may not dictate that sex is to be confined to marriage, but the cumulative teaching does demonstrate that as his will. Sir/Ma’am,
