Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 7:12

Let us get up early to the vineyards - When in the country, we shall have the better opportunity to contemplate the progress of the spring vegetation; and there she promises to be peculiarly affectionate to him. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 7:13

The mandrakes give a smell - See the note on Genesis 30:14 , where the mandrake is particularly described; from which this passage will receive considerable light. The reader is requested to consult it. All manner of pleasant fruits - Fruits new and old; flowers and herbs of every kind which the season could yield. The literal sense, allowing for the concealing metaphors, is, I believe, of a widely different nature from what is generally given. But this must be left to the reader's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:6-9

( Song of the bridegroom rejoicing over the bride. ) How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. I said, I will climb up into the palm tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy breath like apples; and thy mouth like the best wine, that goeth down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of them that are asleep. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:6-13

Dialogue between the king and the bride. I. ENTRANCE OF THE KING . 1 . His praise of love. Perhaps the last words of the chorus were overheard by the king as he approached the bride. He assents; he is content to be held captive in the tresses of the bride's hair; for love is fair and pleasant above all delightful' things. The bridegroom is not here using the word with which he so often addresses the bride (as in So Song of Solomon 1:9 ; Song of Solomon 4:1 ; Song of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:9

The sweetness of speech. The figurative language here employed by the royal lover to eulogize the voice and the utterances of the bride is to our colder and more measured habits of thought Oriental extravagance. Yet it is in harmony with the highly coloured character of the book as a whole. And human speech does often awaken within the heart emotions not easily expressed in cool and justifiable panegyric. The human voice is of all music the sweetest, and speech is sweeter even than song,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:10

I am my beloved's, and his desire is towards me. So in So Song of Solomon 6:3 and Song of Solomon 2:16 . It seems possible that a portion of the bride's speech may have dropped out—"My beloved is mine"—or she may wish to adopt the language of Genesis 3:16 , and represent herself as a true wife, whose husband is wrapt up in her love. By "desire" is intended the impulse of love, תְּשׁוּקָה , from a root שׁוּק , "to move or impel." The thought seems to be this—As my beloved is full of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:10

The desire of the beloved. The assurance of mutual possession and affection occurs in an earlier part of the poem; but its repetition here is not without significance. Love has not lessened as time has passed; it has rather deepened, as experience has revealed, to each of the married lovers, the faithfulness and kindness, the purity and, devotion, of the other. Hence the bride adds to this later exclamation, "I am my beloved's," the statement which is the expression of experience, "His... read more

Christian missions. "I am my beloved's," etc. The scene is still in "the king's chambers" at Jerusalem. What Solomon has said to her whom he would win is of no avail; her heart is true to her beloved. This emphatic redeclaration of her love for that beloved one is all the response that the king's flatteries have obtained. She speaks as if she were already away from the palace and back at her country home; once more occupied in her usual occupations and enjoying her former happy intercourse... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:11-12

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages . Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see whether the vine hath budded and its blossom be open, and the pomegranates be in flower: there will I give thee my love. All true poets will sympathize with the exquisite sentiment of the bride in this passage. The solitude and glory and reality of external nature are dearer to her than the bustle and splendour of the city and of the court. By "the field" is... read more
