Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Song of Solomon 4:1

Thou art fair; he repeats it, both to confirm the truth of his assertion, and to show the sincerity and fervency of his affection to her. Thou hast dove’s eyes; thou art harmless, chaste, &c., as appears by thine eyes, which... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Song of Solomon 4:1-16

Song of Solomon 4:8 . Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse. This endearing appellative occurs here for the first time. This summerhouse of Solomon was built in the forest of Lebanon, and was intended for Pharaoh’s daughter, as a retreat during the warmer season. Look from the top of Amana, a commanding summit of that range of mountains. Then, crossing the whole kingdom, come with me to the top of Shenir and Hermon, as described in Deuteronomy 3:9. Thence also survey the happy land from... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 4:1

1. The language of the Beloved. Thou hast doves’ eyes, etc. Hebrew, Thine eyes are doves within thy veil. That appear, etc. Hebrew, That leap playfully down Mount Gilead. The word, etymologically meaning to descend, is used only of goats that spring and caper playfully in their descent. It is a happy figure to express the dancing of the ringlets of a lady’s head. read more
