Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6

These are the words of the daughters of Jerusalem, to whom the charge was given, Song 3:5. They had looked shily upon the bride because she was black (Song 1:6); but now they admire her, and speak of her with great respect: Who is this? How beautiful she looks! Who would have expected such a comely and magnificent person to come out of the wilderness? As, when Christ rode in triumph into Jerusalem, they said, Who is this? And of the accession of strangers to the church she herself says, with... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:7-11

The daughters of Jerusalem stood admiring the spouse and commending her, but she overlooks their praises, is not puffed up with them, but transfers all the glory to Christ, and directs them to look off from her to him, recommends him to their esteem, and sets herself to applaud him. Here he is three times called Solomon, and we have that name but three times besides in all this song, Song 1:5; 8:11, 12. It is Christ that is here meant, who is greater than Solomon, and of whom Solomon was an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6

Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness ,.... This is said by the daughters of Jerusalem, adjured in Song of Solomon 3:5 ; who, upon the happy meeting of Christ and his church, saw a greater glory and beauty in her than they had seen before; and therefore put this question, not as ignorant of her, but as admiring at her. By the wilderness she is said to "come out" of is meant either a state of nature, as Theodoret; in which all the elect of God are before conversion, and out of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:7

Behold his bed which is Solomon's ,.... Not Solomon the son of David, and penman of this song, but a greater than he, the antitype of him; so it is interpreted of the Messiah by many Jewish writers F17 Targum, Aben Ezra, Jarchi, Kimchi, Ben Melech, and Abendana. : they were both sons of David and sons of God, and kings and preachers in Jerusalem. Solomon was a type of Christ in his wisdom and wealth, in the largeness and peaceableness of his kingdom; in his marriage with Pharaoh's... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 3:6

Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness - Going to Egypt was called descending or going down, coming from it was termed coming up. The bride, having risen, goes after her spouse to the country, and the clouds of incense arising from her palanquin seemed like pillars of smoke; and the appearance was altogether so splendid as to attract the admiration of her own women, who converse about her splendor, excellence, etc., and then take occasion to describe Solomon's nuptial bed and chariot.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 3:7

Threescore valiant men - These were the guards about the pavilion of the bridegroom, who were placed there because of fear in the night. The security and state of the prince required such a guard as this, and the passage is to be literally understood. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6

Who is this that cometh up out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the powders of the merchant? This may be taken as spoken by a single voice, one of the ladies or inhabitants of Jerusalem, or it may be regarded as the exclamation of the whole population going out to see the splendid sight—a gorgeous procession coming towards the city. "Who is this coming?" ( עֹלָה , feminine); that is, "Who is this lady coming?" There could be no... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

The espousals. I. THE APPROACH OF THE BRIDE . 1 . The question. "Who is this?" We have here one of those refrains which form a striking characteristic of the song. The question, "Who is this?" (the pronoun is feminine, "Who is she?") is three times repeated ( Song of Solomon 3:6 ; So Song of Solomon 6:10 ; Song of Solomon 8:5 ). It indicates always a fresh appearance of the bride. Here the words seem to be chanted by a chorus of young men, the friends of the... read more

Solomon in all his glory. (For explanation of details in these verses, see Exposition.) We have set before us here such glory as pomp and splendour, strength and power, great riches and sensual pleasure, could give. All that in which Solomon delighted, and for which his name became famous. Now, these things suggest— I. A GREAT TEMPTATION . They were so: 1 . To Solomon, for he yielded to it. All that these things could do for him he enjoyed to the full. The tradition of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

The King coming to his capital. In Asiatic lands wheeled carriages were rare, and are rare still. This is accounted for by the absence of roads. To construct and maintain roads through a hilly country like Palestine required more engineering skill than the people possessed; and further, there was a general belief that to make good roads would pave the way to military invasion. Hence all over Palestine the pathways from town to town were simply tracks marked out by the feet of men and... read more
