Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 1:1

We have here the title of this book, showing, 1. The nature of it; it is a song, that it might the better answer the intention, which is to stir up the affections and to heat them, which poetry will be very instrumental to do. The subject is pleasing, and therefore fit to be treated of in a song, in singing which we may make melody with our hearts unto the Lord. It is evangelical; and gospel-times should be times of joy, for gospel-grace puts a new song into our mouths, Ps. 98:1. 2. The... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 1:2-6

The spouse, in this dramatic poem, is here first introduced addressing herself to the bridegroom and then to the daughters of Jerusalem. I. To the bridegroom, not giving him any name or title, but beginning abruptly: Let him kiss me; like Mary Magdalen to the supposed gardener (John 20:15), If thou have borne him hence, meaning Christ, but not naming him. The heart has been before taken up with the thoughts of him, and to this relative those thoughts were the antecedent, that good matter which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 1:1

The Song of songs, which is Solomon's. Wrote by Solomon, king of Israel, as the "amanuensis" of the Holy Ghost; and not by Hezekiah and his men, as the Jews say F11 T. Bab. Bava Bathra, fol. 15. 1. : or, "concerning Solomon" F12 לשלמה "de Solomone", Cocceius. ; Christ, of whom Solomon was a type; see Song of Solomon 3:7 ; of his person, excellencies, love to his church, care of her, and concern for her; and of the nearness and communion he admitted her to, and indulged her... read more

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth ,.... That is, Solomon; Christ, the antitype of Solomon, the church's beloved; or it is a relative without an antecedent, which was only in her own mind, "let him"; him, whom her thoughts were so much employed about; her affections were so strongly after; and whose image was as it were before her, present to her mind: and "the kisses of his mouth", she desires, intend some fresh manifestations and discoveries of his love to her; by some precious... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 1:1

The song of songs - A song of peculiar excellence. See the Introduction. The rabbins consider this superior to all songs. Ten songs, says the Tarpon, have been sung; but this excels them all. The first was sung by Adam when his sin was pardoned. The second was sung by Moses and the Israelites at the Red Sea. The third was sung by the Israelites when they drank of the rock in the wilderness. The fourth was sung by Moses when summoned to depart from this world. The fifth was sung by... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 1:2

Let him kiss me, etc. - She speaks of the bridegroom in the third person, to testify her own modesty, and to show him the greater respect. Thy love is better than wine - The versions in general translate דדיך dodeyca , thy breasts; and they are said to represent, spiritually, the Old and New Testaments. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 1:1

The song of songs, which is Solomon's. This is certainly the title of the book which follows, although in our present Hebrew Bible it is the first verse of the book preceded by the shorter form, 'The Song of Songs.' The Septuagint has simply the title ασμα , So that our English title in the Authorized Version, 'The Song of Solomon,' has no ancient authority. It is well altered in the Revised Version to 'The Song of Songs.' The word "song" ( שִׁיר ) does not necessarily convey the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 1:1

The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's. What does this mean? I. AS TO THE TITLE ? "The Song of Songs." It affirms that this song is the most excellent of all songs, the incomparably beautiful song, a song beside which, as one writer says, "all others hide their heads." II. AS TO THE NAME AFFIXED TO IT ? Not that Solomon was the author. For the very title would convict him of egregious vanity. A writer would hardly thus speak of his own productions. But it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 1:1

Holy lyrics. There are many songs in Old Testament Scripture—the song of deliverance from the Red Sea ( Exodus 15:1-27 .); the song of the well ( Numbers 21:17 , Numbers 21:18 ); the song of Moses ( Deuteronomy 32:1-52 .); the song of Deborah ( 5:1-31 .); the song (pre-eminently such) of David, in Psalms 18:1-50 .; and the song of Isaiah (5). But this of Solomon is described as the Song of Songs, i.e. of all the most excellent, as it is the richest in imagery, the intensest... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 1:1-4

The prologue. I. THE INSCRIPTION . 1 . The title. We are told ( 1 Kings 4:1-34 :82) that the songs of Solomon were a thousand and five. This is the chief of all, the Song of Songs. It stands alone in the Old Testament. It is a pastoral drama of singular loveliness. It shows a delight in the beauties of nature such as we might look for in him who "spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall; of beasts also, and of... read more
