Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
The beams of our house are cedar - Perhaps it was under a cedar tree whose vast limbs were interwoven with the beroth , a tree of the cypress kind, where they now sat. And this natural bower recommended itself to the poet' s attention by its strength, loftiness, and its affording them a shady cover and cool retreat. How natural to break out into the praise of a bower, by whose branches and foliage we are shielded from the intense heat of the sun! Even the shelter of a great rock to a weary land is celebrated by the pen of the first of prophets and greatest of poets, Isaiah 32:2.
With this chapter the first day of the marriage ceremonies is supposed to end.
