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

The bridal entry. The pomp of Oriental poetry is nowhere more dazzling and imposing than in this passage, where is depicted the procession of the royal bride, who is escorted with magnificent accompaniments, and welcomed into the metropolis with universal and cordial joy. Expositors have seen in this gorgeous picture a description of the dignity and beauty of the Church, the bride of Christ.

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:7

Behold, it is the litter of Solomon; three score mighty men are about it, of the mighty men of Israel . The litter, or palanquin, is easily recognized.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

The principal and central action of the Song; the bride’s entry into the city of David, and her marriage there with the king.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

A wedding procession (3:6-5:1)As the wedding day approaches, the girl pictures the coming of the bridegroom for her as a royal wedding procession - King Solomon in all his glory coming to this humble country town to claim his bride. She pictures the scene as the procession approaches amid clouds of perfumed incense. The centre of attraction is the king himself, carried on his gold and silver carriage and surrounded by fully armed royal guards in brilliant uniforms (6-11).The bridegroom meets... read more
