Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Song of Solomon 8:11

THE SHULAMITE'S INDEPENDENCE OF SOLOMONFor these two verses, we shall use the following version:"Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon;But let out the vineyard to keepers;Each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.My vineyard, my very own, is for myself,'You, O Solomon, may have the thousand,And the keepers of the fruit two hundred."[15]What is the Shulamite's vineyard? "The whole spirit of this passage justifies the view that she is speaking of her own person."[16] Granting... read more

THE ABSENT BRIDEGROOM CALLS FOR THE BRIDE TO SPEAK"Thou that dwellest in the gardens.The companions hearken for thy voice:Cause me to hear it.Make haste, my beloved,And be thou like to a roe or to a young hartUpon the mountains of spices.""The Song of Solomon closes here with the bridegroom's request, for the bride to speak so that his friends may hear her voice. This reflects the constant desire of Christ the heavenly Bridegroom to hear the prayers of his people.[18] Inherent in this request... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Song of Solomon 8:12

Song of Solomon 8:12. My vineyard, which is mine— My vineyard which before brought me in a thousand pieces, is now thine, O Solomon; and there are two hundred pieces for those who look after the fruit thereof. By pieces of silver here are understood shekels, supposed to be in value about two shillings and four pence halfpenny each. read more

Song of Solomon 8:14. The mountains of spices— That is, the mountains where spices grow; such as those mentioned, chap. Son 4:6 and chap. Son 2:17 and some have thought that it should be rendered here, as in the last place, the mountains of בשׂמים Besamim. What these mountains were we are now ignorant, though it is certain that the creatures here mentioned were bred in the highest mountains of the country: as AElian testifies in the latter end of his fifth book: "The harts in Syria are bred in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Song of Solomon 8:11

11. The joint Church speaks of Jesus Christ's vineyard. Transference of it from the Jews, who rendered not the fruits, as is implied by the silence respecting any, to the Gentiles ( :-). Baal-hamon—equivalent to the owner of a multitude; so Israel in Solomon's day ( :-); so Isaiah 5:1, "a very fruitful hill" abounding in privileges, as in numbers. thousand pieces—namely, silverlings, or shekels. The vineyard had a thousand vines probably; a vine at a silverling (Isaiah 7:23), referring to this... read more

12. "mine" by grant of the true Solomon. Not merely "let out to keepers," as in the Jewish dispensation of works, but "mine" by grace. This is "before me," that is, in my power [MAURER]. But though no longer under constraint of "keeping" the law as a mere letter and covenant of works, love to Jesus Christ will constrain her the more freely to render all to Solomon (Romans 8:2-4; 1 Corinthians 6:20; Galatians 5:13; 1 Peter 2:16), after having paid what justice and His will require should be paid... read more

13. Jesus Christ's address to her; now no longer visibly present. Once she "had not kept" her vineyard (Song of Solomon 1:6); now she "dwells" in it, not as its owner, but its superintendent under Jesus Christ, with vinedressers ("companions"), for example, Paul, c. (Acts 15:25 Acts 15:26), under her (Song of Solomon 8:11; Song of Solomon 8:12); these ought to obey her when she obeys Jesus Christ. Her voice in prayer and praise is to be heard continually by Jesus Christ, if her voice before men... read more

14. (See on :-). As she began with longing for His first coming ( :-), so she ends with praying for His second coming (Psalms 130:6; Philippians 3:20; Philippians 3:21; Revelation 22:20). MOODY STUART makes the roe upon spices to be the musk deer. As there are four gardens, so four mountains, which form not mere images, as Gilead, Carmel, c., but part of the structure of the Song: (1) Bether, or division (Revelation 22:20- :), God's justice dividing us from God. (2) Those "of leopards" (Song... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 8:5-14

Memories. The Close5. The chorus enquire who this happy bride may be. And the bridegroom points her to the apple-tree where he had once found her asleep, and to the spot where she was born. These are lovers’ reminiscences, sweet to them, trivial to others.6, 7. Her passionate clinging to him, and her assertion of the irresistibleness, the indestructibleness, the unselfishness of genuine love.6. She would fain be as inseparable from him as the seal-cylinder, which men wore on a cord round the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Song of Solomon 8:11-12

(11, 12) Solomon had a vineyard . . .—Here the poet repeats the sentiment of Song of Solomon 6:8-9—the contrast of his love for one chosen bride with the state of feeling and morality fostered by polygamy. But while in the former passage the contrast lay in number only, here it lies also in the value which comes to be set on the possession. Any one member of the harem of Solomon is no dearer to him than one of his many vineyards, which has to be cultivated by hirelings (perhaps with allusion to... read more
