Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Song of Solomon 6:11

"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.Before I was aware, my soul set me among the chariots of my princely people."Before attempting to interpret this, one should be aware that, "It is very difficult to explain the relation of these verses, either to the context, or to each other. They are possibly misplaced";[5] or they may be a fragment of another song. The meaning of some of the words is... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Song of Solomon 6:11

Song of Solomon 6:11. I went down into the garden of nuts— The nut-tree is a plant which delights in a cold climate, and therefore must have been valued as a rare and curious exotic in Palestine. Josephus speaks of it as an uncommon proof of the fine temperature of the air, that this shrub flourished in Galilee near the lake of Gennesareth, together with plants of a warmer region. The vine flourished, would be rendered more exactly, the vine budded forth; and so in Son 6:12 of the next chapter.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Song of Solomon 6:11

11. The bride's words; for she everywhere is the narrator, and often soliloquizes, which He never does. The first garden ( :-) was that of spring, full of flowers and grapes not yet ripe; the second, autumn, with spices (which are always connected with the person of Jesus Christ), and nothing unripe ( :-, c.). The third here, of "nuts," from the previous autumn the end of winter, and verge of spring; the Church in the upper room (Acts 1:13, c.), when one dispensation was just closed, the other... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 6:10-13

A Dialogue. Her Loveliness10-13. A dialogue between these ladies and her. They compare her to the dawn, stooping down to look on the earth from the sky. It is still common in Arabic poems to address the beloved as 'Moon,' or 'Full moon'!11, 12. She tells of her visit to the nut-garden, where, ere she was aware of it, her soul, i.e. her desire, set her in the chariots of Ammi-nadib. The precise meaning of this expression cannot be determined. The general sense appears to be that she was sunk in... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Song of Solomon 6:1-13

Spiritual Transports Song of Solomon 6:12 What is the meaning of 'the chariots of Amminadib'? It may perhaps be best regarded as a proverbial expression by which swift and splendid chariots are described. The rendering of the Revised Version doubtless gives us the substantial idea of the comparison: 'Or ever I was aware, my soul set me among the chariots of my princely people'. Whatever the immediate reference may be, it is a remarkable description of the mystical experiences of a soul. I.... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:1-13

MYSTICAL INTERPRETATIONSTHUS far we have been considering the bare, literal sense of the text. It cannot be denied that, if only to lead up to the metaphorical significance of the words employed, those words must be approached through their primary physical meanings. This is essential even to the understanding of pure allegory such as that of "The Faerie Queene" and "The Pilgrim’s Progress"; we must understand the adventures of the Red Cross Knight and the course of Christian’s journey before... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Song of Solomon 6:1-13

CHAPTER 6 The description of Her Beloved was addressed to the daughters of Jerusalem. Their answer is recorded in the beginning of this chapter. Her outburst of praise, her glowing testimony of Him, created the desire in the hearts of others to become His. “Whither is thy Beloved gone? ... We will seek Him with thee.” The bride answers and then in words of precious assurance she declares, “I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine.” Then the Bridegroom speaks in loving praise of her. He speaks... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:1-13

Acts 4:0 , SCENE 1 This subsection corresponds to the afternoon of the fourth day, and carries us through chapter 6. The occasion looks like a formal visit of the bridegroom, with his courtiers, to the bride and her maids of honor. The place is a room in her future palace. Solomon begins his praises (Song of Solomon 6:4-12 ), when the bride rises to retire, but the courtiers beg her to remain (Song of Solomon 6:13 ). The ladies inquire, “What will ye see in the Shulamite?” or “Why do ye desire... read more
