The name or title of Solomon’s lover in his love poem (Song of Solomon 6:13). We do not know exactly who she was. Some people think she came from a small city called Shunem in ancient Israel. Her name, "Shunammite," sounds a lot like Solomon's name in Hebrew, which might be why she is called Shulammite instead of Shunammite.
Shunem was a city in the land of Issachar near Mount Gilboa (1 Samuel 28:4). The city was famous for one story about a beautiful young woman named Abishag. She was called from Shunem to take care of King David in his later years (1 Kings 1:1–4, 15; 2:17–22). Some people think Abishag might be the same woman as the Shulammite in Solomon's love poem.
