Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:1-3

Here is, I. The enquiry which the daughters of Jerusalem made concerning Christ, Song 6:1. They still continue their high thoughts of the church, and call her, as before, the fairest among women; for true sanctity is true beauty. And now they raise their thoughts higher concerning Christ: Whither has thy beloved gone, that we may seek him with thee? This would be but an indecent, unacceptable, compliment, if the song were not to be understood spiritually; for love is jealous of a rival, would... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:4-10

Now we must suppose Christ graciously returned to his spouse, from whom he had withdrawn himself, returned to converse with her (for he speaks to her and makes her to hear joy and gladness), returned to favour her, having forgiven and forgotten all her unkindness, for he speaks very tenderly and respectfully to her. I. He pronounces her truly amiable (Song 6:4): Thou art beautiful, O my love! as Tirzah, a city in the tribe of Manasseh, whose name signifies pleasant, or acceptable, the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:11-16

Christ having now returned to his spouse, and the breach being entirely made up, and the falling out of these lovers being the renewing of love, Christ here gives an account both of the distance and of the reconciliation. I. That when he had withdrawn from his church as his spouse, and did not comfort her, yet even then he had his eye upon it as his garden, which he took care of (Song 6:11): ?I went down into the garden of nuts, or nutmegs, to see the fruits of the valley, with complacency and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:1

Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women ?.... The title is the same used by them, and by Christ before them, Song of Solomon 1:8 ; and here repeated, to assure her that they were serious in asking this question, and that it was in great respect to her they put it; and which, to the same sense, in other words, is expressed, whither is thy beloved turned aside ? which way did he take? on what hand did he turn, to the right or left, when he went from thy door? They ask no... read more

My beloved is gone down into his garden ,.... Which may be said by Solomon, in allusion to what he himself was wont to do, as Josephus F17 Antiqu. l. 8. c. 7. s. 3. relates; who used to go very early in a morning in great pomp to Etham, about two miles from Jerusalem, a pleasant place, abounding with gardens and flows of water: or respect may be had to the king's gardens nearer Jerusalem, which were at the descent of Mount Zion, and reached to the lower pool F18 See Lightfoot's... read more

I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine ,.... Expressive of interest in Christ, and union to him, and of her faith therein; which still continued, notwithstanding her unbecoming behavior toward Christ, and her many infirmities, Song of Solomon 5:2 . Aben Ezra connects the words with the preceding, "my beloved is gone", &c.; but though he is, and I am left alone, I know I am his, and he is mine; which throws a beauty upon the words, and declares the excellency and strength of her... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 6:4

Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah ,.... These are the words of Christ, who had been absent for some time, and till now silent; but, like another Joseph, could not refrain any longer, but makes himself known to his church, and bursts out in strong expressions of love to her, and in high commendations of her; for, notwithstanding her behavior toward him, she was his love still, and as "beautiful" and as comely in his sight as ever: and for which he compares her here to Tirzah; which... read more

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

Turn away thine eyes from me ,.... Her eyes of faith and love; not through dislike of them, but as ravished with them; his passions were so struck by them, and his heart pierced with them, that he could stand it out no longer against her; see Song of Solomon 4:9 . Some render the words, "turn about thine eyes over against me" F2 מנגדי απεναντιον μου , Sept. "ex adverso mei"; Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Marckius; so Montanus and Ainsworth. ; this being the first time of... read more

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

As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks. The same descriptions are given in Song of Solomon 4:3 ; See Gill on Song of Solomon 4:3 ; and these are repeated, to show the reality of the church's beauty, and for the sake of confirmation; and that it still continued the same, notwithstanding her failings and infirmities; and that Christ had the same esteem of her, and love to her, he ever had. That part of the description, respecting the church's lips and speech, in ... read more
