* When the term "lover" is used in the Bible, it usually refers to a person who is involved in a sexual relationship with someone he is not married to.
* This wrong sexual relationship is often used in the Bible to refer to Israel's disobedience to God in worshiping idols. So the term "lovers" is also used in a figurative way to refer to the idols that the people of Israel worshiped. In these contexts, this term could possibly be translated by, "immoral partners" or "partners in adultery" or "idols." [See Metaphor]
* A "lover" of money is someone who puts too much importance on getting money and being rich.
