The first seeking narrative. The Bride is on her bed at night and she seeks the one her soul loves. She seeks and does not find. She rises, the same qum of the arise-and-come-away invitation now performed by the Bride herself, and goes into the city, through the streets and squares, seeking. Thread 4 is in the seeking: the Beloved is not found by those who wait passively. The Bride must rise and seek.
She finds him and holds him and will not let him go until she has brought him into her mother's house. The seeking produces the finding when the seeking is genuine and active.
Then the wedding procession of chapter 3: who is this coming from the wilderness like columns of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense? The royal litter of Solomon, surrounded by sixty mighty men. Thread 3 is the royal procession: the Bridegroom who is also King approaching in triumph. The myrrh-fragrance of the cross pervades even his wedding arrival, the Beloved who comes in glory comes still carrying the scent of his suffering.
I sought him whom my soul loveth: the seeking is genuinely the Bride's, genuinely costly, genuinely necessary; and the wedding procession from the wilderness carries the myrrh of the cross into the royal arrival.
בִּקַּשְׁתִּיו וְלֹא מְצָאתִיו (biqqashtiv ve-lo metsa'tiv): I sought him but found him not: biqqashtiv (I sought him, Piel perfect of baqash; the Piel is intensive: earnest, diligent, thorough seeking; the same seeking-verb as Proverbs 8:17's those who seek Wisdom will find her); ve-lo metsa'tiv (and I did not find him, the seeking and not-finding is the pattern of Thread 4's genuine human effort; the Bride does not receive the Beloved while lying in bed; she must rise, go into the city, seek through the streets)
