Song of Solomon 6:8,9 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number. (9) My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

In these verses we have still further proof of Christ's love to his church, and the distinguishing nature of it. It is, as if the Lord had said, Though there be among men, and the great ones of the earth, those who have concubines and wives without number; yet, my beloved is but one, and the only one of my love; and so fair, so lovely, so undefiled, that even those who know not me, shall be obliged at length to confess that she is blessed. Reader! at the great day of God we are told that this shall take place. They shall see and confess; and, although in this life, who so despised, and set at nought as the followers of Jesus; yet, at the final audit, every eye shall see him, and all nations shall wail because of him. Revelation 1:7.
