Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:10-13

These are the words of the spouse, the church, the believing soul, in answer to the kind expressions of Christ's love in the foregoing verses. I. She here triumphs in her relation to Christ and her interest in him, and in his name will she boast all the day long. With what a transport of joy and holy exultation does she say (Song 7:10), ?I am my beloved?s, not my own, but entirely devoted to him and owned by him.? If we can truly say that Christ is our best beloved, we may be confident that we... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:12

Let us get up early to the vineyards ,.... After a night's lodging in the fields, or among the "Cyprus trees". By which "vineyards" may be meant particular churches, gathered according to Gospel order, and distinguished from the world, planted with fruitful vines, and fenced by almighty power: hither the church proposes to "get up early", very early in the morning; being willing to take the first and most seasonable opportunity of visiting the saints, to know their state and condition; and,... read more

The mandrakes give a smell ,.... Or, "those lovely flowers", as Junius and Tremellius, and Piscator, translate the words; even those the church proposed to give to her beloved, when in the fields Some take them to be violets; others, jessamine; others, more probably, lilies F7 Pfeiffer.

Let us get up early to the vineyards - When in the country, we shall have the better opportunity to contemplate the progress of the spring vegetation; and there she promises to be peculiarly affectionate to him. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 7:13

The mandrakes give a smell - See the note on Genesis 30:14 , where the mandrake is particularly described; from which this passage will receive considerable light. The reader is requested to consult it. All manner of pleasant fruits - Fruits new and old; flowers and herbs of every kind which the season could yield. The literal sense, allowing for the concealing metaphors, is, I believe, of a widely different nature from what is generally given. But this must be left to the reader's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:6-13

Dialogue between the king and the bride. I. ENTRANCE OF THE KING . 1 . His praise of love. Perhaps the last words of the chorus were overheard by the king as he approached the bride. He assents; he is content to be held captive in the tresses of the bride's hair; for love is fair and pleasant above all delightful' things. The bridegroom is not here using the word with which he so often addresses the bride (as in So Song of Solomon 1:9 ; Song of Solomon 4:1 ; Song of... read more

Christian missions. "I am my beloved's," etc. The scene is still in "the king's chambers" at Jerusalem. What Solomon has said to her whom he would win is of no avail; her heart is true to her beloved. This emphatic redeclaration of her love for that beloved one is all the response that the king's flatteries have obtained. She speaks as if she were already away from the palace and back at her country home; once more occupied in her usual occupations and enjoying her former happy intercourse... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:11-12

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages . Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see whether the vine hath budded and its blossom be open, and the pomegranates be in flower: there will I give thee my love. All true poets will sympathize with the exquisite sentiment of the bride in this passage. The solitude and glory and reality of external nature are dearer to her than the bustle and splendour of the city and of the court. By "the field" is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:11-12

Divine companionship. Man was made, not for solitude, but for society; not for selfishness, but for love. This principle of human nature and life is taken up by religion, and is employed for man's highest, spiritual, immortal interests. The soul which yields itself to Christ delights in his fellowship, and finds therein its true satisfaction. Like the bride who is represented in this poem as saying to her spouse, "Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field," etc; the soul craves the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:11-13

Useful service. Earth is a great picture gallery, full of illustrations of heavenly things. This material universe is the projection of God's thoughts; the visible expression of his dispositions; the blossoming of his love. The God of nature is the God of religion; hence the same lessons appear in both. As we have seen in the home of a great artist the handiworks of his genius adorning parlours and halls, corridors and bed chambers—works in all stages of development—so is it in God's... read more
