Shulamite — This title signifies, the wife of Solomon, thus called after her husband's name, and as Christ is called by the name of Solomon, so the church is fitly described by the title of Solomon's wife.

Christ proposes the question, that they might take special notice of this as a very remarkable thing in her. The company — Whereby he intimates that this one spouse was made up of the whole multitude of believers. Two armies — Confederate together, and so this may signify the union of Jews and Gentiles, and the safety and strength of the church, which is compared to a numerous host, distributed into two armies.
