Song of Solomon 7:3

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.

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.

6:4-8:14 THE STRENGTH OF TRUE LOVEDesires for each other (6:4-7:13)Using language that he has used before, the man again praises the girl’s loveliness (4-7; cf. 4:1-3).

The title ’noble’s daughter’ may be merely a conventional compliment, or it may point to the dignity of her character: cp. ’a daughter of Belial,’ 1 Samuel 1:16. 2. The Talmud states that the proportions for mixed... read more
