Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 6:12

The chariots of Amminadib - Probably for their great speed these chariots became proverbial. The passage marks a strong agitation of mind, and something like what we term palpitation of the heart. As I am not aware of any spiritual meaning here, I must be excused from commenting on that which is literal. Amminadib signifies my noble or princely people; but it may here be a proper name, and Amminadib might be celebrated for his skill and rapidity in driving, as Jehu was. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 6:13

Return, O Shulamite - This appears to be addressed to the bride, as now the confirmed, acknowledged wife of Solomon; for שולמית shulammith , appears to be a feminine formed from שלמה shelomoh , or Nwmlv shelomon, as we form Charlotte from Charles; Henrietta, from Henry; Janette, from John, etc. The company of two armies - Or the musicians of the camps. She is as terrible as hosts of armed men, on the ground of what is said on Song of Solomon 6:4 , Song of Solomon 6:5 . The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:4-9

The bridegroom's praise of the bride. I. RENEWED ENUMERATION OF HER GRACES . 1 . General praise of her beauty. Her beauty is compared to the beauty of Tirzah or Jerusalem. She is beautiful as Tirzah, which word means "grace" or "beauty;" comely as Jerusalem, the habitation or foundation of peace. The bridegroom mentions Tirzah as well as Jerusalem, which seems to imply that the song was written before the division of the kingdom. The bride is beautiful as Tirzah was to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:4-10

Christ's picture of his Church. The value of an encomium depends on the qualification of the speaker. If a man is a master of eloquent phrases, and knows but little of the person he eulogizes, his encomium is little worth. If, on the other hand, the speaker is a skilful judge of character, and knows well the person, and speaks from pure motives, his estimate is priceless. Now, the best judge of the quality of a wife is her own husband, for no one else has such opportunities of knowing her... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:8-9

There are three score queens, and four score concubines, and virgins without number. My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. The account given us of Solomon's harem in 1 Kings 11:3 represents the number as much larger. Is not that because the time referred to in the poem was early in the reign? The words are an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:10

Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, terrible as an army with banners? This, of course, is the praise which comes from the lips of the queens and concubines, the ladies of the harem, the daughters of Jerusalem. The word rendered "looketh forth" is literally "bendeth forward," i.e. in order to look out or forth (cf. Psalms 14:2 ), LXX ; ἐκκυπτοῦσα Venet; παρακυπτοῦσα (cf. James 1:25 , "stooping down and looking into the Word as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:10-13

Conversation between the chorus and the bride. I. ADDRESS OF THE CHORUS . 1 . The question. "Who is she?" This question occurs three times in the song. In So Song of Solomon 3:6 it is asked apparently by a chorus of young men, the friends of the bridegroom; here and in So Song of Solomon 8:5 it seems to be put into the mouth of the chorus of maidens, the daughters of Jerusalem. It is an expression of admiration. The maidens meet the bride after an interval, and are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:11-12

I went down into the garden of nuts to see the green plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded and the pomegranates were in flower. Or ever I was aware, my soul set me among the chariots of my princely people. There cannot he much doubt as to the meaning of these words. Taking them as put into the lips of the bride, and as intended to be a response to the lavish praises of the bridegroom, we may regard them as a modest confession that she had lost her heart immediately that she... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:11-12

Spiritual promotion. The Shulamite is now the queen; but she has not forgotten her early home, her youthful training, occupations, and companionship. She takes a pleasure in looking back upon bygone days, and calling to mind the remarkable manner in which, through the king's admiration and favour, she was raised from her lowly condition to the highest position amongst the ladies of the land. The contrast may be used to illustrate the change which takes place in the experience of the soul... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:13

Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. Shulem is the same as Shunem (see 1 Kings 1:3 ; 2 Kings 4:8 ; Joshua 19:18 ). Shulamite will, therefore, mean "lady of Shulem." It is the first occurrence of the name. It cannot be a pure proper name, says Delitzsch, because the article is attached to it. It is a name of descent. The LXX . has ἡ σοοναμῖτις , i.e. "she who is from Shunem." Abishag was exceedingly beautiful, and she came from the same... read more
