James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 8:1-14

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

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Song of Solomon 8:1-14

Christ and His Church Song of Solomon 5-8 The Song has a double action: sometimes the Church praises Christ, and sometimes Christ praises the Church. The most noticeable feature is that the praise on both sides is equal. Not one word does the Church say of Christ that Christ does not in his turn say of the Church. So there is no idolatry in Christian worship when that worship is directed to God the Son. God the Son does not take from the Church all praise and honour without returning to his... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Song of Solomon 8:11-12

Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; everyone for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver. (12) My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred. The best comment perhaps on this verse is what the Lord Jesus himself hath given, Matthew 21:33 , etc. That the Church is Christ's vineyard, that he hath servants in all ages ministering, and working in its... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 8:8-12

8-12 The church pleads for the Gentiles, who then had not the word of God, nor the means of grace. Those who are brought to Christ themselves, should contrive what they may do to help others to him. Babes in Christ are always seen among Christians, and the welfare of their weak brethren is an object of continual prayer with the stronger believers. If the beginning of this work were likened to a wall built upon Him the precious Foundation and Corner-stone, then the Gentile church would become as... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Song of Solomon 8:5-14

The Blissful Union in Heaven v. 5. Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her Beloved? supported by Him as they, united in love, approach their home above. I raised Thee up under the apple-tree, stimulating His jealous zeal; there Thy mother brought Thee forth; there she brought Thee forth that bare Thee, namely, that Brother who now was her Husband. Therefore she makes a powerful appeal: v. 6. Set me as a seal upon Thine heart, like a signet-ring worn on a cord over... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 8:11-12

The Young Wife Will Keep The Fruits Of Her Vineyard Wholly For Her Beloved. The song of songs now approaches its close with a vivid illustration of the efforts that the young wife will now make to ensure that she is ‘perfect’ for her beloved. In Song of Solomon 1:6 b she had failed to ‘keep’ her personal vineyard and had allowed her complexion to be spoiled by the sun. Now she assures her beloved that she will make every effort to ensure that her beauty is fully maintained for his benefit.... read more
