Song of Solomon 3:7 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Behold — The bride — men continue their speech, and from the admiration of the bride, proceed to the admiration of the bridegroom. Bed — The bed seems to denote the church, which is comely through Christ's beauty, and safe by his protection, in which Christ is glorified, and believers enjoy sweet fellowship with him. Solomon's — Which is the bed, not of an ordinary man, but of a great king, whom Solomon typifies, and who is greater than Solomon. Threescore — Very many, the certain number being put for an uncertain. He alludes to Solomon's guard, whereby he designs all those creatures, whether angels, princes, ministers, or others, whose ministry God uses for the protection of his church.
