雅歌 5:6-7 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 5:2-8

In this song of loves and joys we have here a very melancholy scene; the spouse here speaks, not to her beloved (as before, for he has withdrawn), but of him, and it is a sad story she tells of her own folly and ill conduct towards him, notwithstanding his kindness, and of the just rebukes she fell under for it. Perhaps it may refer to Solomon's own apostasy from God, and the sad effects of that apostasy after God had come into his garden, had taken possession of the temple he had built, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 5:6

I opened to my beloved ,.... Which was what he desired, and was done in virtue of his putting in his hand by the hole of the door; or by the exertion of his efficacious grace, working in her both to will and to do, without which it would not have been done; namely, her heart dilated, the desires and affections of her soul enlarged towards Christ, and every grace drawn forth and exercised on him; and though the heart of a believer is sometimes shut to Christ, yet when it is opened, it is only... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 5:7

The watchmen that went about the city, found me ,.... Of the city and the watchmen in it, and of their finding the church; see Gill on Song of Solomon 3:2 ; See Gill on Song of Solomon 3:3 ; they smote me, they wounded me ; taking her for a night walker, they gave her ill words and hard blows this was not very becoming watchmen to use those of the city in this manner; for, as Plato F12 De Legibus, l. 2. p. 602. says, keepers of cities should be mild and gentle towards their... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 5:7

Took away my veil - They tore it off rudely, to discover who she was. See on Song of Solomon 5:2 ; (note). To tear the veil signifies, in Eastern phrase, to deflower or dishonor a woman. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 5:2-8

The second dream of the bride. I. THE BRIDEGROOM AT THE DOOR . 1 . The voice of the beloved. The bridegroom is absent; the bride is alone. There is a temporary separation, something approaching to an estrangement; yet the old love is not lost. The bride is sleeping when she should be awake and watching for the bridegroom's approach. Yet her heart waketh. She has a dreamy consciousness of what is going on around her; she seems to hear in her dream the voice of her beloved.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 5:2-8

The dream of Gethsemane. Under the imagery of this dream devout students have seen pictured forth the pathetic facts of the garden in which our Lord was in agony, and his disciples slept (cf. Matthew 26:40-43 and parallels). We have— I. THE DISTRESSED SAVIOR . ( Song of Solomon 5:2 .) He desired his disciples to watch with him. He needed and desired their sympathy and the solace which their watchful love would have given him. His soul was troubled. He was as he who is told of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 5:6

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. My soul had failed me when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. The meaning is this—The voice of my beloved struck my heart; but in the consciousness that I had estranged myself from him I could not openly meet him, I could not offer him mere empty excuses. Now I am made sensible of my own deficiency. I call after him. I long for his return, but it is in vain (cf.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 5:6

The dream of distress. No passage in the Canticles is more pathetic than this. Whilst the prevalent tone of the Song of Songs is a tone of joyful love, we meet here with the sentiment of anxious sorrow. We are reminded of the grief of Mary, when, on the resurrection-morn, she exclaimed, "They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him." A true transcript of the moods to which experience is subject! And not without spiritual lessons which may be turned to true profit. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 5:7

The watchmen that go about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my mantle from me. The intention is to show into what evil she fell by having to seek her beloved instead of being with him. She is mistaken and misjudged; she is smitten and wounded with reproaches and false accusations, as though she were a guilty and evil minded woman. She is subjected to abuse and ill treatment from those who should be her guardians. She had hard work to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Song of Solomon 5:6

Song of Solomon 5:6. My beloved had withdrawn Denied me his comfortable presence, as a just punishment for my former neglect. My soul failed Hebrew, went out of me. I fainted, and was ready to die away; when he spake Or, for what he spake; for those endearing expressions related Song of Solomon 5:2, which then I did not heed. I sought him By diligent inquiry and importunate prayer. read more
