Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:7-11

The daughters of Jerusalem stood admiring the spouse and commending her, but she overlooks their praises, is not puffed up with them, but transfers all the glory to Christ, and directs them to look off from her to him, recommends him to their esteem, and sets herself to applaud him. Here he is three times called Solomon, and we have that name but three times besides in all this song, Song 1:5; 8:11, 12. It is Christ that is here meant, who is greater than Solomon, and of whom Solomon was an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:11

Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion ,.... The same with the daughters of Jerusalem; the reason of the variation is, because Christ, here so gloriously described, is King of Zion, and they his subjects; these the church observing, being intent on looking at the bed and chariot she had described, calls them from those objects to look at a more glorious one; to whom Solomon in all his glory, on his coronation or marriage day, to which the allusion is, was not equal; wherefore she invites them to... read more

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

Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion - This is the exhortation of the companions of the bride to the females of the city to examine the superb appearance of the bridegroom, and especially the nuptial crown, which appears to have been made by Bathsheba, who it is supposed might have lived till the time of Solomon's marriage with the daughter of Pharaoh. It is conjectured that the prophet refers to a nuptial crown, Isaiah 61:10 . But a crown, both on the bride and bridegroom, was common among... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

The espousals. I. THE APPROACH OF THE BRIDE . 1 . The question. "Who is this?" We have here one of those refrains which form a striking characteristic of the song. The question, "Who is this?" (the pronoun is feminine, "Who is she?") is three times repeated ( Song of Solomon 3:6 ; So Song of Solomon 6:10 ; Song of Solomon 8:5 ). It indicates always a fresh appearance of the bride. Here the words seem to be chanted by a chorus of young men, the friends of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

Solomon in all his glory. (For explanation of details in these verses, see Exposition.) We have set before us here such glory as pomp and splendour, strength and power, great riches and sensual pleasure, could give. All that in which Solomon delighted, and for which his name became famous. Now, these things suggest— I. A GREAT TEMPTATION . They were so: 1 . To Solomon, for he yielded to it. All that these things could do for him he enjoyed to the full. The tradition of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

The King coming to his capital. In Asiatic lands wheeled carriages were rare, and are rare still. This is accounted for by the absence of roads. To construct and maintain roads through a hilly country like Palestine required more engineering skill than the people possessed; and further, there was a general belief that to make good roads would pave the way to military invasion. Hence all over Palestine the pathways from town to town were simply tracks marked out by the feet of men and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

The bridal entry. The pomp of Oriental poetry is nowhere more dazzling and imposing than in this passage, where is depicted the procession of the royal bride, who is escorted with magnificent accompaniments, and welcomed into the metropolis with universal and cordial joy. Expositors have seen in this gorgeous picture a description of the dignity and beauty of the Church, the bride of Christ. The incense rising in perfumed clouds heralds the approach of the bridal procession. The palanquin... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 3:11

Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold King Solomon, with the crown wherewith his mother hath crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart . This seems to be an appeal to a larger company of those who will rejoice in the bride and her happiness. The daughters of Zion are perhaps intended to represent the people generally as distinguished from the ladies of the court, i.e. let all the people rejoice in their king and in his royal bride. The... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

The principal and central action of the Song; the bride’s entry into the city of David, and her marriage there with the king. Jewish interpreters regard this part of the poem as symbolizing the “first” entrance of the Church of the Old Testament into the land of promise, and her spiritual espousals, and communion with the King of kings, through the erection of Solomon’s Temple and the institution of its acceptable worship. Christian fathers, in a like spirit, make most things here refer to the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Song of Solomon 3:11

Song of Solomon 3:11. Go forth The church bids particular believers go forth to see this sight. Behold, King Solomon The Messiah, of whom Solomon was an illustrious type. With 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, namely, the universal church, which,... read more
