Amminadib

A word occurring in some English versions of the Song of Songs 6:12: Before I realized it, my desire had set me among the royal chariots of my people.

The American Standard Version [marginal reading] and New American Standard Bible [marginal reading] have "Amminadib" instead of "my people." More recent translators have not regarded the term as a proper name.

  • The American Standard Version replaces "Amminadib" with “my willing people."

  • The Revised Standard Version replaces "Amminadib" with "beside my prince."

  • The New American Standard Bible replaces "Amminadib" with “my noble people."

  • The New Living Translation replaces "Amminadib" with “in my princely bed with my beloved one.”
