Song of Solomon 6:9 - John Wesley's Notes

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.

12 Before I was even aware,
My soul had made me
As the chariots of¹ my noble people.

Song of Solomon 6:9

But one - The only beloved of my soul, my only spouse. The only one - She is as dear and as precious to me as only children use to be to their parents, and especially to their mothers. Daughters - Called virgins, Song of Solomon 6:8. Praised - As more beautiful and worthy than themselves.
