Bible Verses About Lily of the Valleys: 12

"I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys."

— Song of Songs 2:1 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Lily of the Valleys want Scripture on the KJV title shoshannat ha'amaqim — the lily of the valleys — in Song of Songs 2:1 — not only the Rose of Sharon Song 2:1 rose half alone or the singular Lily of the Valley Song 2:2+ survey alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about Rose of Sharon, Bible verses about Lily of the Valley, Bible verses about love, Bible verses about God's love, Bible verses about Jesus, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about worship, and Bible verse of the day. Lily of the Valleys here means Song 2:1's lily-of-the-valleys title — distinct from Rose of Sharon alone and from Lily of the Valley (singular) alone.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, "lily" is שׁוֹשַׁנָּה shoshannah (Strong's H7799; Bible Hub H7799) — lily. "Valleys" is עֵמֶק emeq (Strong's H6010; Bible Hub H6010) — valley, lowland. Song 2:1 joins them in the KJV as "lily of the valleys." This list tracks that valleys-lily title, not the rose half alone and not Song 2:2 lily-among-thorns (that lives on the singular lily page).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Song of Songs 2 treats the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys (Bible Hub MHC Songs 2; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Song 2). (Rose of Sharon and Lily of the Valley live on those pages; this list centers shoshannat ha'amaqim.)
