A brief dialogue; Song of Solomon 7:6-9 are spoken by the king, Song of Solomon 7:9 and Song of Solomon 7:10 by the bride. Song of Solomon 7:6 A general sentiment. How fair, and what a charm hast thou, O love! Among delightsome things! Compare Song of Solomon 2:7, note; Song of Solomon 8:6-7, note. Song of Solomon 7:7 This thy stature - The king now addresses the bride, comparing her to palm, vine, and apple-tree for nobility of form and pleasantness of fruit; and the utterances of her mouth to sweetest wine. Song of Solomon 7:9 For my beloved, that goeth down sweetly - Words of the bride interrupting the king, and finishing his sentence, that goeth smoothly or pleasantly for my beloved. Compare Proverbs 23:31. Song of Solomon 7:10 His desire is toward me - All his affection has me for its object. The bride proceeds to exercise her power over his loving will. return to 'Top of Page' Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain. Bibliographical Information Barnes, Albert.
