Song of Solomon 1:2 ASV

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 1:2-4

“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth.” “For your love is better than wine. Your oils have a goodly fragrance. Your name is as oil poured forth. That is why the virgins love you. Draw me. We will run after you.” The young maiden reveals her craving to experience a loving relationship with her beloved, and her longing for his kisses. Then, slightly shocked at herself (indicated by the change of person form ‘him’ to ‘you’), she explains to him, in his absence, why this is so. It is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 1:2-17

SECTION 1. The First Assignation of The Lovers (Song of Solomon 1:2 to Song of Solomon 2:7 ). In this first section a young Northern maiden is thinking about the handsome young shepherd king, Solomon, who has won her heart, and has clearly shown her some depth of affection. She is filled with expectancy because he has invited her to a feast in his palatial tent, and it soon becomes apparent that, initially at least, she has no real idea of the splendor of his position, but rather sees him as... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Song of Solomon 1:2

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth. The beginning of this book is abrupt, and may seem disorderly; but is very suitable to and usual in writings of this nature, wherein things are not related in an historical and exquisite order, but that which was first done is brought in as it were accidentally after many other passages; as we see in Homer, and Virgil, and in the Greek and Latin comedians. These are the words of the spouse, as all acknowledge, wherein she breatheth forth her... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 1:1-17

Song of Song of Solomon 1:0 I. Though written very possibly by Solomon with reference to the daughter of Pharaoh, this Song seems evidently to have had a deep symbolical meaning from the very beginning. All things in Scripture are for Christ's sake from the beginning of the world. The forms which, floating by, cast their shadows on the elder world were shades of that greater Figure which was to absorb the attention of mankind and of the Church for ever and ever. Such is the power which... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 1:1-17

Tonight we want to look at the Song of Songs which is Solomon's. By the title it indicates that Solomon felt that this was the finest of the one thousand and five songs that he wrote. This is the excellency of the songs that he has written. Of the thousand and five songs, this one is it as far as Solomon is concerned.In Ecclesiastes, we had a theme: vanity of vanities. In this we have, song of songs. The vanity or the emptiness of the world apart from God. The emptiness of the world in... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Song of Solomon 1:1-17

Song of Solomon 1:1 . The Song of songs, which is Solomon’s. Here our version varies from the Hebrew. The particle prefixed to the noun Solomon is rendered in the genitive, instead of the dative case. The particle so occurring in many other texts is rendered touching, concerning, &c. So Isaiah 5:1. A song touching his vineyard. Psalms 45:1. Things touching the king. Genesis 19:21, where the Lord says to Lot, I have accepted thee concerning this thing. We must remark also, that... read more

Song of Solomon 1:2Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth: for Thy love is better than wine.Communion with Christ1. Such as have the least taste of Christ’s love, are impatient and restless in their desires after the nearest fellowship and communion with Him. The Church here desires Christ’s manifestation in the flesh, that she might enjoy him in a Gospel-dispensation, and have sweeter discoveries of His favour: so in like manner the Church of the New Testament, who did enjoy all the... read more
