Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:1-9

The title which Jesus Christ here gives to the church is new: O prince's daughter! agreeing with Ps. 45:13; where she is called the king's daughter. She is so in respect of her new birth, born from above, begotten of God, and his workmanship, bearing the image of the King of kings, and guided by his Spirit. She is so by marriage; Christ, by betrothing her to himself, though he found her mean and despicable, has made her a prince's daughter. She has a princely disposition, something in her... read more

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

Thine head upon thee is like Carmel ,.... Set with hair, thick and long, as Carmel with plants and trees. Now Christ is the church's Head in various senses; he is her federal and representative Head in eternity and time; her political Head, as a King to his subjects; an economical Head, as the husband to the wife, as parents to their children, and a master to servants; and, as such, may be compared to Carmel; for the multitude dependent on him, whom he represents, and is connected with... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:6

How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! These are the words of the King in the galleries, wondering at the church's beauty, it being incomparable and inexpressible, it could not be said well how great it was; and expressing the strength of his love to her, which was invariably the same as ever. Of the "fairness" of the church, and of this title, "love", see Song of Solomon 1:9 ; and here she is said also to be "pleasant" to him, as his spouse and bride, in whom he takes... read more

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

Shine head - like Carmel - Rising majestically upon thy neck, and above thy shoulders, as Mount Carmel does in its district. Carmel was the name of the mountain where Elijah had his contest with the prophets of Baal. See 1 Kings 18:19 , etc. The hair of thine head like purple - Ornamented with ribbons and jewellery of this tint. The king is held in the galleries - Or is detained in the antechamber. His heart is captivated by thy person and conduct. Some understand the ringlets of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:1-5

The chorus of maidens praise the beauty of the bride. I. THE PRELUDE . 1 . The address. They address her as, "O prince's daughter." She is not a king's daughter, like the bride of Psalms 45:1-17 , but she is of honourable extraction. Though she lived in the retired district of Lebanon, and had been brought up there in rustic occupations, her family was one of some distinction. So Joseph, the carpenter of Nazareth, was recognized by the angel Gabriel, and was known among men by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:5

Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held captive in the tresses thereof. Carmel is called the "Nose of the mountain range" ( Arf-ef-jebel ) . It is a promontory. The meaning, no doubt, is the exquisite fitness of the head upon the neck, which is one of the most lovely traits of personal beauty. Some, however, think that the reference is to colour—Carmel being derived from the Persian, and meaning "crimson." This is rejected by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:6

The fairness of love. The commendations of the bride's beauty, which occur in the early verses of this chapter, lead up to the exclamation—so much in harmony with the whole spirit of the Canticles—concerning the fairness, the pleasantness, the delightsomeness, of true love. I. THE BEAUTY AND GOOD SERVICE OF LOVE , AS A SENTIMENT IN THE HUMAN HEART AND AS A BOND IN HUMAN SOCIETY . As distinguished from mere carnal passion, that conjugal love which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:6-9

( Song of the bridegroom rejoicing over the bride. ) How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. I said, I will climb up into the palm tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy breath like apples; and thy mouth like the best wine, that goeth down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of them that are asleep. The... 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
