'Friends' in the Bible

Take me away with you. Let us hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. Friends We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They are right to love you.

Say, O love of my soul, where you give food to your flock, and where you make them take their rest in the heat of the day; why have I to be as one wandering by the flocks of your friends?

I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love. Friends

His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem. Friends

Without realizing it, my desire set me with my royal people's chariots. Friends

I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up, nor awaken love, until it so desires. Friends

Many waters can't quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned. Friends

You who dwell in the gardens, with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice! Beloved
