Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
Draw me -
(1) The cry of ancient Israel for Messiah; e.g., Simeon Anna, etc.
(2) The cry of an awakened soul for the drawing of the Spirit, after it has gotten a glimpse of Christ's loveliness, and its own helplessness.
"Draw me" - The Father draws (John 6:44). The Son draws (Jeremiah 31:3; John 12:32). "Draw" here, and "Tell" (Song of Solomon 1:7), reverently qualify the word "kiss" (Song of Solomon 1:2).
Me, we - no believer desires to go to heaven alone (John 1:41; John 1:45). We are converted as individuals; we follow Christ as joined in a communion of saints. Individuality and community meet in the bride.
Run - her earnestness kindles as she prays (Isaiah 40:31).
After thee - not before (John 10:4).
King ... brought me into - (Psalms 45:14-15). He is the anointed Priest (Song of Solomon 1:3); King (Song of Solomon 1:4).
Chambers. Her prayer is answered even beyond her desires. Not only is she permitted to run after Him, but is brought into the inmost pavilion, where Eastern kings admitted none but the most Intimate friends, and did so by holding out the golden sceptre (Esther 4:11). The erection of the temple of Solomon was the first bringing of the bride into permanent, instead of migratory chambers of the King. Christ's body on earth was the next whereby believers are brought within the veil (Ephesians 2:6). Entrance into the closet for prayer is the first step. The earnest of the future bringing into heaven (John 14:3). His chambers are the bride's also (Isaiah 26:20). There are various chambers, plural (John 14:2).
Be glad and rejoice - inward and outward rejoicing.
In thee - (Isaiah 61:10.) Not in our spiritual frames (Psalms 30:6-7).
Remember - Hebrew, nazkiyraah (H2142); rather, commemorate with praises (Isaiah 63:7). The mere remembrance of spiritual joys is better than the present enjoyment of carnal ones (Psalms 4:6-7).
Upright - literally, rightnesses. Maurer translates, 'They rightly (i:e., with good reason), love thee.' Impersonally, 'Thou art rightly loved.' But the English version is better: abstract for concrete: Rightnesses, or those of uprightness and sincerity answer to "the virgins," Song of Solomon 1:3 (Psalms 58:1). So Nathanael (John 1:47); Peter (John 21:17).
