The Hebrew word for "banquet" is yayin (yah'-yin) which refers to a fermented beverage; one containing alcohol.
Another of that's word's appearances is located in the book of Esther where she arranged a sort of special tea party for her potentate; only the tea in that case was wine.
● Song 2:4b . . and his banner over me is love.
The largest use of banners is located in first ten chapter of the book of Numbers as flags hoisted aloft to indicate tribal rallying points.
The combination is a pretty cool metaphor. The banquet and the banner indicate that Shulah held a special place in her lover's heart.
