Re Song of Songs 8:11-12:

What is this passage referencing? Checking commentaries I see widely
varying interpretations---from a covert allusion to the polygamy of the king
to a reference to vineyards rented out to the number of vines etc.

What is the "vineyard"? Who are the caretakers? What do the numbers 1000
and 200 refer to---pieces of silver? women?

Thanks!

Christine
