About this book

Old Testament

▾

Song of Solomon — Love poetry in eight chapters — the Bible's most surprising book. A chiastic structure; a bride and bridegroom alternating in dialogue; and a three-school interpretive tradition the site surfaces without adjudication.

Author: Traditional: Solomon (1:1 ''the song of songs, which is Solomon's''). Critical: the ''of Solomon'' construction allows ''about Solomon'' or ''to Solomon'' and opens the authorship question. §7.9 surfaces; most readings keep Solomonic association.
Date: Solomonic reading: c. 965–930 BC. Critical reading: later editorial compilation.

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

These words are Christ's answer to the church's prayer in the close of the foregoing chapter, Let my beloved come into his garden; here he has come, and lets her know it. See how ready God is to hear prayer, how ready Christ is to accept the invitations that his people give him, though we are backward to hear his calls and accept his invitations.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

25 ), their defence, their treasure; much more was he so to Christ, in whom dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily, Col. ii. Christ's head bespeaks his sovereign dominion over all and his vital influence upon his church and all its members. This is as gold, gold; the former word in the original signifies shining gold, the latter strong solid gold;

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

"The Lamb" is at once His nuptial and sacrificial name (1Pe 1:19; Re 19:7), characterized by white and red; white, His spotless manhood (Re 1:14). The Hebrew for white is properly "illuminated by the sun," white as the light" (compare Mt 17:2); red, in His blood-dyed garment as slain (Isa 63:1-3;
