Song of Solomon 6:9 - Adam Clarke

Song of Solomon 6:9

7 ^aLike a piece of pomegranate
Are your temples behind your veil.

8 There are sixty queens
And eighty concubines,
And ^avirgins without number.

9 My dove, my ^aperfect one,
Is the only one,
The only one of her mother,
The favorite of the one who bore her.
The daughters saw her
And called her blessed,
The queens and the concubines,
And they praised her.

10 Who is she who looks forth as the morning,
Fair as the moon,
Clear as the sun,
^aAwesome as an army with banners?

The Shulamite

11 I went down to the garden of nuts
To see the verdure of the valley,
^aTo see whether the vine had budded
And the pomegranates had bloomed.

Song of Solomon 6:9

The daughters saw her, and blessed her - Not only the Jewish women in general spoke well of her on her arrival, but the queens and concubines praised her as the most accomplished of her sex.

With this verse the fourth night of the marriage week is supposed to end.
