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

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 7:7

This thy stature is like to a palm tree ,.... Made up of the above parts commended, and others had in view, as appears from the relative "this". The word for "stature" properly signifies height, tallness, and erectness; and which were reckoned agreeable in women, as well as men; See Gill on 1 Samuel 9:2 ; hence methods are often made use of to make them look taller, as by their head dresses, their shoes, and by stretching out their necks, Isaiah 3:16 ; and the simile of a tree is not an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:8

I said, I will go up to the palm tree ,.... Which is easy of ascent; having, in the bark of the trunk or body of the tree, rings like steps, whereby the eastern people climb it with incredible swiftness, as Pliny F14 Ibid. So Sandys's Travels, l. 2. p. 79. relates: these steps are made by the lower boughs being lopped off, whose knots, or "pollices", as Dr. Shaw F15 Travels, tom. 1. p. 142. Edit. 2. calls them, being gradually left upon the trunk of the tree, serve, like so many... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:9

And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine ,.... Which may intend, either her taste, as the word is rendered in Song of Solomon 2:3 ; by which she can distinguish good wine from bad, truth from error; or her breath, sweet and of a good smell, like the best wine; the breathings of her soul in prayer, which are sweet odours, perfumed with the incense of Christ's mediation; or rather her speech, the words of her mouth; the roof of the mouth being an instrument of speech; the same word is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:10

I am my beloved's ,.... These are the words of the church, strongly expressing the assurance of faith she had of her union to Christ, and interest in him; which shows that "that" grace is attainable, and that there may be a continuation of the exercise of it; it may be expressed again and again, as it is by the church in this Song, Song of Solomon 2:16 ; and that the exercise of it often follows, upon the enjoyment of Christ's presence, as here, upon his going tap to the palm tree; and... read more

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

Like to a palm tree - Which is remarkably straight, taper, and elegant. And thy breasts to clusters of grapes - Dates are the fruit of the palm tree; they grow in clusters; and it is these, not grapes, which are intended. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 7:8

I will go up to the palm tree - I will take hold on the boughs of this tree, and climb up by them, in order to gather the clusters of dates at the top. The rubric here in the old MS. interprets this of the cross of Christ. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 7:9

The roof of thy mouth like the best wine - The voice or conversation of the spouse is most probably what is meant. Causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak - As good wine has a tendency to cause the most backward to speak fluently when taken in moderation; so a sight of thee, and hearing the charms of thy conversation, is sufficient to excite the most taciturn to speak, and even to become eloquent in thy praises. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 7:10

I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me - It is worthy of remark that the word which we translate his desire is the very same used Genesis 3:16 ; : Thy desire, thy ruling appetite, תשוקתך teshukathech , shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. This was a part of the woman's curse. Now here it seems to be reversed; for the bride says, I am my beloved's, and his desire or ruling appetite and affection, תשוקתו teshukatho , is עלי ali , Upon Me. The old MS.... read more
