'Answered' in the Bible

My beloved hath answered and said to me, 'Rise up, my friend, my fair one, and come away,

(The Chorus)“Behold, it is the couch (palanquin) of Solomon;Sixty mighty men around it,Of the mighty men of Israel.

I opened to my beloved, But my beloved withdrew -- he passed on, My soul went forth when he spake, I sought him, and found him not. I called him, and he answered me not.

(The Chorus)“Return, return, O Shulammite;Return, return, that we may gaze at you.”

(The Shulammite Bride)“Hurry, my beloved and come quickly,Like a gazelle or a young stag [taking me home]On the mountains of spices.”
