Song of Solomon 6:12 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib. The chariots of Amminadib - Probably for their great speed these chariots became proverbial. The passage marks a strong agitation of mind, and something like what we term palpitation of the heart. As I am not aware of any spiritual meaning here, I must be excused from commenting on that which is literal. Amminadib signifies my noble or princely people; but it may here be a proper name, and Amminadib might be celebrated for his skill and rapidity in driving, as Jehu was.
