Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Song of Solomon 3:11

Go forth; the bride, to wit, the church, bids particular believers go forth to see this sight; whereby is implied that Christians must go out of the world, to wit, in affection, and out of themselves, by denying themselves, and putting off the old man, their corrupt nature, if they desire to see and enjoy Christ. Daughters of Zion; the same with daughters of Jerusalem; for Zion and Jerusalem are ofttimes promiscuously used in Scripture. Behold king Solomon; looking in and through him upon the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

NotesSong of Solomon 3:7. Behold his bed which is Solomon’s ‘His bed,’ מִטָתוֹ (mittatho) from נָטָה (natah), to stretch or recline. Not the same word as in verse first, which properly expresses a place for lying down upon. The word here generally understood to denote a palanquin or litter. A bed of repose, especially used by the rich (Amos 6:4). Same as the ‘chariot’ in verse ninth, where it is described as; now before the eyes of spectators. EWALD.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:1-11

Chapter 3By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loves: I sought him, but found him not. I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not. The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Did you see him whom my soul loves? It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loved: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Song of Solomon 3:1-11

Song of Solomon 3:7 . Behold his bed, which is Solomon’s; the palace where he sleeps, and where so many treasures of gold and works of art are preserved. Threescore valiant men are about it. His bodyguard, mounted daily, and composed of the finest looking men that the nation could boast. The person of a king is sacred, his safety involves the safety of a nation; his person therefore must be guarded with all precaution, and proper defence. REFLECTIONS. The feelings of the heart during the... read more

Song of Solomon 3:6-11Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness? The royal pair in their glorious chariotGreat princes in the East are in the habit of travelling in splendid palanquins, which are at the same time chariots and beds. The person reclines within, screened by curtains from public view; a bodyguard protects the equipage from robbers, and blazing torches light up the path along which the travellers proceed. King Solomon, in this Song, describes the Church of Christ, and Christ... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Song of Solomon 3:11

Go - The church bids particular believers go forth to see this sight. Solomon - The Messiah, of whom Solomon was an illustrious type. The crown - Which being applied to Solomon, may design that garland or crown which was usually worn in nuptial solemnities: but being applied to Christ, it denotes the honour that was given him, which though principally done by his Father, yet is here ascribed to his mother, the universal church, which in respect to his humanity may be called his mother, because... read more

Daniel Whedon

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

11. Go forth, etc. The call, apparently, of a fourth speaker. Crowned Crowns in ancient times were not merely symbols of royalty, but were also expressive of joy and gladness. The Greeks and Romans wore them at banquets and carousals. The Jews formerly wore them at marriage feasts, as members of the Greek Church do still. Solomon arrayed in all his glory was a sight worthy of admiration even of those to whom he was no stranger. The term daughters of Zion, is clearly applied to the women... read more
