The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Song of Solomon 3:1-11

Sowing and Reaping Song of Song of Solomon 2:0 and Song of Song of Solomon 3:0 There is something very remarkable in the sweet words, "Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away" ( Son 2:13 ). Wherever we find these words we should be gratified with their music, their simplicity, their human tenderness. When we apply them to Jesus Christ they are invested with new and large significance. Jesus Christ is always calling his Church away to some higher altitude, to some greener pasture, or by... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:11

Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart. Here is a gracious call to the church at large to go forth and behold Jesus as King, and crowned. Jesus came forth at the hall of Pilate crowned with thorns, to testify that He, and He only, was made perfect through suffering. And when Jesus, after his ascension, returned to glory, then was he crowned in heaven to... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:11

Go. All are invited to come to Christ, who, in his sacred humanity, which he took of his mother, was crowned in heaven, after his passion. (Worthington) (St. Gregory) (Alcuin) --- The synagogue crowned him with thorns, and gave him the hard bed of the cross. (St. Bernard; St. Anselm, &c.) --- Bethsabee might live to see the marriage of her son, who owed the crown to her, 3 Kings i. 18., and Proverbs iv. 3. Both the parties were crowned, (Isaias lxi. 10.) and no doubt Solomon would display... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

6-11 A wilderness is an emblem of the world; the believer comes out of it when he is delivered from the love of its sinful pleasures and pursuits, and refuses to comply with its customs and fashions, to seek happiness in communion with the Saviour. A poor soul shall come up, at last, under the conduct of the Comforter; like a cloud of incense ascending from the altar, or the smoke of the burnt-offerings. This signifies pious and devout affections, and the mounting of the soul heaven-ward. The... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

The Church's Victorious Progress v. 6. Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness, ascending from the lower level of a wilderness to the city set on a mountain, like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? The cavalcade of Shulamith is preceded and followed by clouds of perfumed smoke, which mark her progress. v. 7. Behold His bed, the traveling litter, howdah, or palanquin, such as are used in the Orient for long journeys, which is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

SECTION 3. The Loving Couple Are Married And The Marriage Is Consummated (Song of Solomon 3:6 to Song of Solomon 5:1 ). The young maiden need not have worried. Her beloved had not forgotten her. And soon the arrangements went forward for the wedding. In her love she had never really thought about the greatness and splendor of her beloved. But now it was brought home to her in its totality when a splendid litter arrived accompanied by the bridegroom and his friends, and she was taken in great... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 3:11

“Go forth, O you daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon, With the crown with which his mother has crowned him, In the day of his espousals, And in the day of the gladness of his heart.” The scene is awe-inspiring. The mighty Solomon arrives in great splendor from the wilderness accompanied by his bride in her litter, and the daughters of Jerusalem are summoned to go forth to meet him (compare Matthew 25:1-13), being called on to consider him, crowned with his garland crown which his mother... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

Song of Solomon 3:6-1 Kings : . The Coming of the King.— These verses are generally taken to describe the procession of the king with his attendants coming to the wedding. On the dramatic theory it is Solomon coming to the north where “ the Shulammite” (see on Song of Solomon 6:13) is supposed to be; but on the view upon which this exposition is based, we regard it as “ the peasant king” coming to claim his bride. The same form of address is applied to the Shulammite in Song of Solomon 6:10,... read more
