Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me - (Song of Solomon 4:9; Genesis 32:28; Exodus 32:9-14; Hosea 12:4.) This is the way "the army" (Song of Solomon 6:4) "overcomes" not only enemies, but Jesus Christ Himself, with eyes fixed on Him (Psalms 25:15). Historically, Song of Solomon 6:3-5 represent the restoration of Jesus Christ to His Church at the resurrection; His sending her forth as an army, with new powers (Mark 16:15-18; Mark 16:20); His rehearsing the same instructions (cf. Song of Solomon 6:6, note) as when with them (Luke 24:44).
Overcome - literature (Hebrew, hirhiybuniy (H7292) from the root, raahab (H7292)), they proudly or strongly press upon me: they have taken me by storm (Maurer). Cocceius (cf. margin) takes it, 'they have elated me,' so that I receive consolation and glory from thy faith.
