Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 8:8-12

Christ and his spouse having sufficiently confirmed their love to each other, and agreed it to be on both sides strong as death and inviolable, they are here, in these verses, like a loving husband and his wife, consulting together about their affairs, and considering what they should do. Yoke-fellows, having laid their hearts together, lay their heads together, to contrive about their relations and about their estates; and, accordingly, this happy pair are here advising with one another about... read more

If she be a wall ,.... Built upon a sure foundation; and firmly established in her faith on Christ, and love to him; and is constant therein, and stands as a wall against the attacks of enemies F2 So Ajax is called the wall of the Grecians, Homer. Iliad. 6. v. 5. & 7. v. 211. ; we will build upon her a palace of silver ; though at first but as a side wall, yet should become a complete habitation, even a palace for Christ, the King of kings, and, being designed for so... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 8:10

I am a wall ,.... The words of the little sister, or Gentile church; either wishing she was what was supposed, and desiring to be in a well settled state, "O that I was a wall!" or as asserting F4 "Hoc est, nolite dubitare ultrum murus sum", Ambros. Enarrat. in Psal. cxviii. octon. 22. p. 1087. that she was in such a state, well walled; God was a wall of fire about her; salvation was appointed as walls and bulwarks to her; she was one of the two walls Christ was a cornerstone unto,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 8:9

If she be a wall - All these expressions, says Calmet, show that it was necessary to provide a husband for this young sister. For a woman without a husband is like a wall without towers, and without defense; is like a gate or door without bar or lock; and like a city without walls. They must therefore provide for their sister a rich, powerful, and illustrious man; qualities here figured by towers or palaces of silver, and doors of cedar. As it is customary to build towers upon a wall, and to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 8:10

I am a wall, and my breasts like towers - I am become marriageable, and I stood in need of the defense I have now in my beloved; and as soon as I was so, and became pleasing in the eyes of my beloved, I was given to him in marriage, and have ever since found favor in his sight. As soon then as my sister is in my state, let a proper match be sought out for her. These expressions show the solicitude which the bride felt for her sister, and in her favor she wishes to interest her spouse. read more

Entire union of wedded love. I. COMMUNION OF THE BRIDEGROOM AND THE BRIDE . 1 . Approach of the bride. "Who is this?" The question is asked for the third time (see So Song of Solomon 3:6 ; Song of Solomon 6:10 ). In So Song of Solomon 3:6 the chorus of youths asks the question as the bride is borne in royal state to meet the king in the city of his kingdom; it occurs again in So Song of Solomon 6:10 , when the maidens of the chorus are struck with admiration of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 8:8-9

The little sister. This verse seems to be an inquiry on the part of those who are heard speaking in Song of Solomon 8:5 . They probably knew the story of her who was now returning with her beloved, and their question shows their surprise. Then they listen to her entreaty addressed to him whom she so loved ( Song of Solomon 8:6 ), and to her recital of the characteristics of such love as hers. They now interpose with the question in Song of Solomon 8:8 concerning a younger sister, who... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 8:9

If she be a wall, we will build upon her a turret of silver: and if she be a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar . The interpretation which Delitzsch suggests of these words is that the "wall" represents firmness of character, and the "door" weakness and insecurity. If she firmly and successfully withstands all immoral approaches, then we will bestow high honour upon her, as a tribute to her maidenly virtue and constancy. The turret or castle of silver would mean rewarding her... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 8:10-12

I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers thereof: then was I in his eyes as one that found peace. Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to brings a thousand pieces of silver. My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, shalt have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred. The meaning seems to be affectionate approval of the method just described. Solomon says, "If the young... read more
