Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. The "kings' daughters" are the Gentile peoples, which their respective kings govern as fathers to their peoples. These shall 'fall down and serve' Messiah (Psalms 72:8-11; cf. Psalms 47:8-9, with Genesis 22:18; Galatians 3:8-9; Galatians 3:16; Galatians 3:18). The kings' daughters are the secondary consorts; the queen is the consort of first rank-namely, the Church of Israel, converted and re-united to her heavenly Bridegroom, and exalted to be the mother-church of Christendom. The Gentile nations shall be the first-fruits of the restoration of literal and spiritual Israel. The Gentile converts, upon the re-union, shall be children of the restored wife (Hosea 2:18-20; Isaiah 54:1; Isaiah 62:2-7; Romans 11:11-33) "Honourable" (precious, glorious) as are the other consorts, the "kings' daughters," the first place of honour, 'at the right hand of the King,' is given to the queen. She is called by an unusual Hebrew term х sheegal (H7694), instead of the ordinary malqaah], to designate a consort of the first rank. It is found elsewhere only in Nehemiah 2:6; Daniel 5:2-3. Reference to the "gold of Ophir" is appropriate, as David had amassed much of it for the temple, and Solomon had imported large quantities (1 Chronicles 29:4; 1 Kings 9:28).
