Solomon’s Song of Songs 5:16

“His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely”

There is a holy sweet relish upon the hearing of praise, honor, godly advice, holy promises and admiration etc.   Solomon’s words were sweetness itself.  Earlier Solomon adored her lips, in 4:3 her “lips were like scarlet ribbon and her mouth was lovely.”  Now the Bride remembers all Solomon has said to her, and says “His mouth is sweetness itself” which was one characteristic about Solomon that made him lovely.  Solomon’s love is a sweet flame that manifested itself in his speech to his wife. Solomons words were sweetness itself.

This blog will focus on everything Solomon said in the Song.Solomon sweetly praises his wife 7x, commands or sweetly asks her to do something 4x, makes a few promises and holds sweet communion with her 5x.   His words were sweet and his mouth was sweetness itself!  Then we could argue that Christ was greater than Solomon.  If Solomon’s words were so sweet how much sweeter are the words of Christ Himself!  The Word of God is sweetness itself.  It forevermore just keeps on breathing out sweetness in every verse, for God’s Mouth is infinite sweetness for He is altogether lovely beyond measure.

First we will look at the praises and sweet words of admiration that Solomon gives his beautiful wife!  Solomon sweetly praises his wife 7x, commands or sweetly asks her to do something 4x, makes a few promises and holds sweet communion with her 5x.   His words were sweet and his mouth was sweetness itself! this post may be a bit long but I wanted to get all Solomon’s sweet words in one blog post.  34 out of 50x Solomon speaks he is praising or adoring his bride!!  No wonder his mouth was sweetness itself!!

A wife of excellent character has a husband who praised her when she was worthy of it (Prov. 31:28-30)  and humble enough to receive it and give the ultimate glory to God.

Proverbs 15:33  “Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord, and humility comes before honor.”

Solomon’s praises from a mouth that is sweetness itself!

Sweet Praise #1 of 7 and a most sweet answer!

Solomon praises and adores the internal moral beauty of her holy heart and her external beauty as well when he calls her “the most beautiful of women”  Solomon’s Song of Songs 1:8

Her soul and body were in slavery and desperately desiring rest.1:6   Knowing who to talk to but not where to find this rest she calls out to “the one her heart loves” 1:7  and king Solomon, guided by unmeasurable wisdom, responds sweetly by first letting her know he admires her beauty by calling her “the most beautiful of women”

And the words of a beloved and friend that makes him stand out above the rest are  ¹⁶ “His mouth is “full of sweetness. ” And he is wholly desirable.

Solomon’s holy sweet advice amidst the praise.

His Sweet words…   “If you do not know most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and rest your young goats by the shepherd tents.”

Right off the bat, the first conversation they have he compliments her beauty.  Not just any compliment but calls her as she is “the most beautiful woman” both inside and out.  This is who she is and how he properly see’s her moral and external beauty.  He admires her beauty and compliments it in the sweetest manner.

She had said that she called out to “the one her soul loved”

Oh to know that the one you love knows you to be the most beautiful of women, with a moral excellency of infinite proportions written upon her heart.

What do we learn from the first words of Solomon’s conversation?

1.  He was there for her to guide her when she needed him.
2. Not only was he there for her but encouraged her by letting her know what he truly thought of her beauty.
3. He gave her the most excellent advice.  He knew where she could find rest but she didn’t.  God gave Solomon unmeasurable wisdom.  Imagine a husband like that!

Application

1.  Husbands compliment the moral and external beauty of their wives.
   1. Compliment her Moral Beauty, holiness or love to God.  Husbands, her beauty draws you closer.  She is beautiful and likes to hear it.  Her hearing sincere words of her beauty will be sweet to her taste.  Let her know it.  Both inside and out, she is beautiful.  The wife has less fear of drawing near when she knows her husband loves and adores her, and has a name like perfume poured out.  This admiration is in a general sense.  No particular beauty is being admired but a general statement of the overall moral and external beauty of the bride,  she is “the most beautiful of women”.
      1. Her willingness to learn from her shepherd leader is beautiful!
      2. God’s design for marriage is on display when the wife is eager to listen to and then obey her husband.   In this way the authority of God is reflected in the marriage by the king shepherd giving advice and the bride obeying.  The wife submits to her own husband Ephesians.  She gets advice from her husband not any other.  Beautiful, oh so beautiful isn’t it, a wife proving her Love to God by submitting to her husband as her greatest delight on earth.
   2. Compliment her External Beauty
   3. Compliment her moral and external beautify consistent with her level of humility.  Dark is she, yet lovely in Christ.  If your praise and adore her moral loveliness which is Christ in her and she takes all the glory then she is not humble.  Praises to the proud of heart go to their heads.  And they take the glory, yet the humble when praised will stay humble accept the praise and honor but give the ultimate glory to God in their heart as they are receiving that praise.  Proverbs 27:21. “The crucible is for silver and the furnace for gold,
      And each is tested by the praise accorded him.”  “As the refining pot,” his praise tries her, as gold is tried in the fire. That this is the meaning is manifest by Proverbs 17:3. “‘Rara virtus est humilitas honorata,’ said Barnard. To find humility with honor is to find a phoenix. Let an obscure person be lifted up to honor, and how steady and well-composed soever he was before, ’tis a thousand to one but his eyes will dazzle and his head run round when he is upon the lofty pinnacle of praise and honor. Put the best gold in the fining pot of praise, and it’s a great wonder if a great deal of dross don’t appear.
2. Pick the right context to compliment both external and moral beauties.  The context here is Solomon compliments her beauty even though she is ignorant of where to find rest.  He encourages her with how he thinks of her.  She is the most beautiful woman and Solomon recognizes it.  She is beautiful inside and out and has nothing to worry about, there is nothing holding him back on his part because she has got it all.  Her lack of not knowing where to go to find peace and rest didn’t hinder the way Solomon saw his beautiful bride.  They are one positionally, but practically her knowledge was next to nothing compared to his for he had unmeasurable wisdom.  Solomon was king of kings and she was a enemy servant slave girl prior to their meeting.  There was a huge difference here in maturity.  Solomon is the one who should know for he had unmeasurable wisdom and a “flaming love to God” 8:6 in his heart. No one else would have given her better advice.  Plus he was the one she loved, Solomon, who possessed unmeasurable wisdom 1 Kings 4:29.  Husbands ought to seek wisdom at all costs so that they can love their wives as Christ loved the Church.
3. Husbands be sincere in your compliments, don’t flatter but be genuine as to how you see her beauty.  1 Peter 3:3-4  ^“Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; ⁴ but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.”  Praise her gentle, humble, not anxious but quiet spirit.
4. Apologize if you haven’t been praising her often enough and promise to do better and then be faithful to keep your promise as you grow in the grace and knowledge of God.  Growing Greater in the knowledge of God’s love and grace to us in Christ is what enables you to love your wife as Christ loved the Church.

Wives and bride of Christ, you must live a live worthy of the LORD.  Live a life worthy of praise from your husband/Husband.  Repent of whatever is not of a praiseworthy character.

Had she not been morally beautiful adorned with holiness.  Her moral beauty is her holiness.  Without which she would not be the “most beautiful of women”.  If you are making a statement about the whole of a person apart from God and describing them. Someone who is only evil, all the thoughts and intent of their heart is only evil all the time Gen. 6:5 and that person was dressed in a pure white dress and had the most beautiful face.  There is no way Solomon would call an nonbeliever the “most beautiful of women”  Solomon’s attraction is to her holy love that is “more delightful” to experience than anything else.  Song 4:10

Sweet Praise # 2 and Adoration of the Bride

Solomon’s Song of Songs 1:9-10

Song 1:9  “I liken you my darling to a mare harnessed to pharaoh chariot” would

1. Experienced in battle
2. The most valuable mare
3. The most fearless
4. The fastest
5. The most obedient to Pharaoh

So the bride pursuit of Solomon is time tested and she is experienced and the best at it, most valuable to Pharaoh, most fearless in battle, and most obedient.  You could probably come up with more similar excellencies between a mare and the bride but these will suffice for now.

Song 1:10 “Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels.”  Is Solomon still complimenting the mare, is the mare illustration still on his mind in Song 1:10.   Meaning in verse 10 did the context change from admiring her character to admiring only her outward adornments.   Or is v 10 an extension of verse 9 where her character qualities in her pursuit of him are beautiful and worthy of praise because she heeded instruction.  Proverbs 13:18  “whoever heeds correction is honored.

Oneness is stricter when you listen to the Good Shepherd.  God would want the wife to listen to her husband who is the king, God’s representative here on earth and the wife is the suitable helper.  They are one positionally, but practically it grows stricter and stricter, more and more intimate for those who have the “Flame of the LORD” in them. Song 8:6

Not flattery.  Solomon is not flattering his bride but giving honor where honor is fitting.   Solomon told the bride she was the most beautiful of women in verse 8.  Then in verse 9 he compliments her character and in verse ten is Solomon expressing how precious and valuable she is to him with those adornments. these virtues add to her beauty.

This would be the kind of character a mare harnessed to pharaoh chariot would have.  These characteristics adorned her soul like precious jewelry adorns a brides cheeks and neck.  Only the most worthy horses where adorned with precious jewelry.

Sweet Praise #3    Song 2:2

During persecution she stays beautiful!!  This is worthy of praise!!

Under the trials she is still beautiful and she hears these sweet words from her husband Song 2:2 “Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens.”

Sweet Praise #4    Song 4:1-4:7

Solomon’s Song of Songs 4:1-4:7

All of Solomons words were sweet but these come directly after the wedding on the wedding night.  These words are a little extra sweet to the bride!  For she later says his lips were sweetness itself

This praise and adoration of the bride of Solomon goes on and on for 7 verses.  Song 4:1-7.  It starts with “How beautiful you are my darling, Oh, how beautiful. ”  and ends with “You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you”  and everything in between is beautiful as well, both physical and moral beauty is adored in the bride on her wedding night.

Beauty is both natural or physical and spiritual or invisible.  Natural beauty that consists in harmony and proper proportions.  Natural beauty is the delightful equal proportion of her teeth, temples and breasts that constitute her natural beauty along with her lips hair and neck.  She is altogether lovely!!  These beauties are only to be adored by the husband in marriage.  And thank God the skillful craftsman!  Song 7:1.   Will she let all this praise and adoration go to her head?

Sweet Praise #5    Song 4:9-5:1

The humble obedience of Solomon’s bride ravishes his heart!!  Benevolent love desires the object of our affection to be happy and we are happy when he is happy.  Yeah, its all about being happy as can be in doing God’s will.  For we delight in obeying God more than riches!

Praise #5 at 4:9 comes right after praise 4:1-7.  only 1 verse separates the two.  The one verse that separates the two is a command by Solomon.  She must listen or bitterly be eaten by lions!! Song 4:8  Solomon commands his wife to come down from viewing all of Israel, her inheritance.  They were married, on the honeymoon on top of the mountains and they need to come down or the lions will get her.   Solomon calls her down and she looks his way with her doves eyes fixed on what God what he wanted her to do at a time of receiving great praise.  She needed to stay humble and remember she was nothing until the “flame of the LORD” was written on her heart.  She was nothing before her union with God through Solomon.  She stayed humble and didn’t get prideful.  She was a slave and now she is queen.  She was in debt and now she is both physically and spiritually rich in Solomon.

For her to listen to Solomon and humble herself at a time of such praise ravishes the heart of Solomon and he lets her know it.

Solomon’s Song of Songs 4:9  “You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride!  With one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.”  What sweet holy words these are!

‘He praises her right after doing great acts of humility when being greatly blessed.

This is just one act of obedience and it ravished his heart!!  One manifestation of the Love of God in the heart of the bride to her husband ravishes his heart and she is precious and valuable (jewel) to him because of her love to God and Solomon.  He called to her and she looked without hesitation and that look absolutely ravished Solomon’s heart.  Then Solomon goes on for another 6 verses praising her delightful holy virtues culminating in both desiring to and enjoying one another to the fullest.  Song 5:1

Sweet Praise #6

Solomon’s Song of Songs 6:4-6-9

You are as beautiful as Tirzah, my darling,
As lovely as Jerusalem,
As awesome as an army with banners.
⁵ “Turn your eyes away from me,
For they have confused me;
Your hair is like a flock of goats
That have descended from Gilead.
⁶ “Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has lost her young.
⁷ “Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate
Behind your veil.
⁸ “There are sixty queens and eighty concubines,
And maidens without number;
⁹ But my dove, my perfect one, is unique:
She is her mother’s only daughter;
She is the pure child of the one who bore her.
The maidens saw her and called her blessed,
The queens and the concubines also, and they praised her, saying

10 “Who is this that grows like the dawn,
As beautiful as the full moon,
As pure as the sun,
As awesome as an army with banners?”

Wow!!  The praises just keep getting better and better because she does!!  And this praise ends with her not only getting praise from her husband but also the “queens and concubines praised her” 6:10

Sweet Praise #7

The longest praise and adoration in the Song of Songs

How beautiful you are and how pleasing,
    my love, with your delights!

She

By the moral perfections of God, they mean those attributes which God exercises as a moral agent, or whereby the heart and will of God are good, right, and infinitely becoming, and lovely; such as his righteousness, truth, faithfulness, and goodness; or, in one word, his holiness.

By God’s natural attributes or perfections, they mean those attributes, wherein, according to our way of conceiving of God, consists, not the holiness or moral goodness of God, but his greatness; such as his power, his knowledge whereby he knows all things, and his being eternal, from everlasting to everlasting, his omnipresence, and his awful and terrible majesty.

Hips surrounded by lilies.  He is looking at what is proportionate and in harmony with the whole nature of the body.

Her princes sandaled feet are a moral beauty.

There is so much here.  Go to my commentary on Chapter 7 if you want details on this praise.

Solomon’s Sweet Commands

Command because he is the king in Israel and the marriage.  Plus any command by Solomon was to be taken as a command of God through Solomon.  Any words of Solomon would have been sweet.  Solomon was good and loving therefore anything he told her to do would have been for her spiritual good and God’s glory for her show her love by obeying.  His commands were sweetness itself because by doing them she kept peace with God and found rest for her soul. Song 1:8  and by catching the foxes as he commands she gets a blossoming relationship with the one her heart loves.  Oh so sweet to hear him remind her to catch the foxes that were destroying the blossoming relationship.  And then to hear him call her down from lebanon when her life depended on it.  Had she not listened the lions would have eaten her alive. Song 4:8   So his words even when they were commands were sweet to her taste.

Sweet Command #1   Song of Songs 2:14

In Solomon’s Song of Songs 2:14 Solomon desires to speak to his wife and get her to talk to him and be sincere, so he waits till feels safe and not threatened and says…

“O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret place of the steep pathway,
Let me see your form,
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your form/face is lovely.”

Sweet Command #2  Song of songs 4:8

“Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
May you come with me from Lebanon.
Journey down from the summit of Amana,
From the summit of Senir and Hermon,
From the dens of lions,
From the mountains of leopards.”

Details on this command for the bride to stay humble during times of physical and spiritual prosperity click here for.

No so Sweet Command #3

Right at about the time his wife was getting comfortable Solomon comes home and due to a lack of a little self denial the bride forfits sweet communion with Solomon because she didn’t open the door soon enough.  God desires quick obedience out of Love to God the wife obeys without delay.  But here in 5:2-6  When he asks her to open the door she doesn’t.   His words weren’t so sweet because she was selfish.  She didn’t want to go through the trouble of getting out of bed to let her husband in.  You would think she would want him in bed with her at night.  She went to bed without him, woke up with him at the door and wasn’t excited enough or desired him enough to quickly open the door.  Before in Song 1:4 she was like a mare running after him!  and now she is more like a slow sluggard verses a fast mare in battle.  And she pays for it later.  God disciplined her for it and she learns and then she gets the praise in 6:4-10 for learning her lesson.

Sweet Command # 4

“You who dwell in the gardens with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice!”

Mutual Sweet Agreements 1

I say this is mutual because of the catch for “us”  and “our” vineyards.  This is a mutual delight.

“Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom.” Solomon’s Song of Songs 2:14

The relationship is blossoming but there are some foxes keeping them apart and slowing down the process of beautification or oneness.

Wether it is Solomon speaking or the woman, the truth still stands the same.  If Solomon said to his wife to stop sinning because it ruins the blossoming vineyards.  It is true.  All women have sin in their hearts.  Pride, selfishness and unbelief that are foxes that will destroy the blessed oneness and holy happiness in marriage because sin separates it doesn’t unite or cause a stricter union.  So both husband and wife desire a stricter union and both parties are responsible for the catching of all the foxes.

Even if it is her sin, he has a responsibility for it to some degree as well, they are one.  Meaning if the husband doesn’t honor, respect or love his wife then his prayers wont be answered.  If the husband is praying for the beautification of the wifes soul  and it seems to not be happening then maybe he isn’t loving her as Christ loved the Church, then his prayers for her would be answered.  Husbands, look to yourself first.

Both need to agree that it is both their duties in the relationship to get rid of the foxes.  He does his part and she does hers.  He delights to help her and she delights to be spiritually shepherded by him.  The feeling are mutual and the words were sweet for the bride to hear her husband say catch the foxes because thats what she wanted to do as well!!  Oh the sweetest words of the greatest type of Christ alive.

Sweet promises

Sweet Promise #1    They all promise to make her more beautiful!

Song of Songs 1:11  “We will make you earrings of Gold studded with silver.”

I take the “WE” to be everyone involved in making her more beautiful.  This would include Solomon, the daughters of Jerusalem, watchmen etc.   Everyone involved in her moral and external beautification promise to make her more beautiful.  More holy.  She is beautiful and they are going to add to it.  She is the most beautiful of women, yet even though we are infinitely beautiful in Christ we rid ourselves of the flesh for it is our enemy.   They promise to beautify her, Im wondering if the Song records beautified.  I know Solomon does it by wisely calling her down humbling herself at a time of exaltation or praise or honor and the look she take toward Solomon is so precious to Solomon that her look of love to God and Solomon was more delightful to experience than anything else.  Song 4:10

It is intimated that the watchmen prophets gave her advice on where to find Solomon in Song 3:3 and scarily does she pass them when she finds the one her heart loves, Solomon.  And holds him tighter.  a stricter union is achieved.

Sweet Promise #2

Solomon’s Song of Songs 4:6

“Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense.”

At the end of praising the moral and external beauty of his bride, Solomon makes this sweet promise as to what he is going to do and for how long.  Basically he said until she is perfect or Christ raptures her I will go and dwell in her holier heart.  There they will give each other their love.  Solomon will always find his greatest joy and delight in the holiness of his wives heart.

Sweet promise # 3

A promise of sweet communion in love.

Sweet communion 1

Communion=The mutual sharing of those good things with delight those in that relationship.

Song of Songs 1:15,16

Words and feelings shared in sweet holy communion in love.  Reassuring words confirming his love to and delight in our holiness or good works by faith out of Love to God.

Her holy Love to God on fire in her heart beautifies the act.  And oh, how beautiful she is. Love to God was written on her new heart. Ez. 36:26   Notice there has been no other compliment to her outer appearance other than her hair and cheeks that alone weren’t being adored but the fact that they had jewels made them valuable and worthy to be adored. What did the bride possess that made her so worthy and valuable? A mare like attitude!!  A mare harnessed to her king in battle.  An experienced, fearless, obedient, fast mare in battle!  This attitude in her pursuit of him is praiseworthy!

1.  She used to fear the Wrath of God and now she doesn’t.  Doves eyes. Love.  Perfect love casts out all fear of punishment 1 John 4.  She was an enemy of God and now Loves God. Song 8:6
2. She was drawn by his Name.  Song 1:2  She had great faith and beloved in God and it was credited her righteousness Gen. 15:6.  Knowing his name gave her trust, knowing his name was like perfume poured out, it was so pleasing for her to hear the name of the one her heart loved.  She still has who Solomon was and their new and growing experiences in mind.  Her eyes where doves.  This was no blind love.  Its was love drawn by a godly character and manifestations of his love to God.  i.e.. Solomons prayer for wisdom and discernment rather than riches was a great display of Love to God and Israel.  Imagine having a king like that among many other things!!  His name was like perfume poured out.

How deep His love and delight in her holiness is.  “Oh, how beautiful”  Song 1:15

Not just admiration but more than what you thought,  he adores holiness in us more than what we think.  How sweet is this!!  Can it get much sweeter?!  Yes and it will but hey for now check this out.  He not only lets her know that she is beautiful and fair and to add intensity to delight he has in beholding her beauty he sweetly says

¹⁵ How beautiful you are, my darling!
    Oh, how beautiful!
    Your eyes are doves”

The intimacy level has just jumped up another notch quite quickly.  Wow, just a second ago she was an enemy slave girl just born again, desired closer intimacy with king Solomon and now they are eye to eye and he is complimenting her beauty!!  This has got to have her holy flame of Love in her on fire!  She getting closer to the answer to her prayer in the beginning.  They aren’t quite kissing but they are eye to eye and he is sweetly complimenting her beauty and oh how beautiful it is to add depth and intensity to fact that He adores and delights in His holy image in us more than what we think, oh how beautiful.

Love and adoration in the midst of holy communion in love.

More than what we think!!   The point here is that Jesus Christ is more pleased with acts of faith that work by love and not fear are very beautiful to God and he is more pleased with what we see as our poor service to him than what we think.

This depth of intensity at which she is really beautiful, very attractive, most delightful to behold is here specifically mentioned as her lovely eyes!!  Her eyes were doves.  They had a beauty was not just beautiful but oh so beautiful, “your eyes are doves”.  Pure Love is her eyes. Holy Love “the very Flame of the LORD”Song 8:6  His delight is in the holiness of her love.  What beautified her words, actions and emotions was that they were holy and consistent with Scripture.  Her eyes were doves, no mixture of evil.  Surely they have been holding communion ever since 1:7 now all the way to verse 15 and 16 the degree of intimacy has grown from a shepherdess without a shepherd to sitting delightfully in the shade of their shared strong luxurious dwelling place in 1:17   Deeper communion.  Do you see the progression from 1:7 to 1:17 it just gets better and better for the bride!!  The blessings of oneness with the king, shepherd, the one her heart loves are pouring out!!  She gets the most glorious compliments by being united to the greatest type of Christ.

He praises her moral excellency and beauty  she is “Fair”  “Beautiful”  “Virtuous”

Sweet Holy Communion in Love #2

Communion is a mutual sharing of feelings, delights, loves etc.

Solomon’s Song of Songs 4:16-5:1

Another sweet poetic thing Solomon says but I haven’t categorized it yet.

Solomons song of Songs 1:17

“The beams of our house are cedars our rafters are furs”

Its a mutual relationship.  “Our” .  It’s mutual.  Their houses, meaning their dwelling place was sure, long lasting like cedars, highest quality for its purpose, what excellency is in the cedar? “the beams of our house are cedars”=Solid, most desirable for their strength and worthiness to be used in building a house for God 1 Kings 6:18 “There was cedar on the house within, carved in the shape of gourds and open flowers; all was cedar, there was no stone seen.”,  Solomon is describing the place in which they are dwelling.   Specifically the cedars are mentioned. they share the same dwelling place., solid foundation and support system.  The most desirable object for its foundation.   The most suitable foundation.  Cedars.    Imagine having a shack of twigs verses a house of cedars.  We get a greater sense of security and joy knowing that the foundation of our dwelling place is sure and solid, the most durable wood. To have cedars as the beams of your house would mean that you were very rich.  Remember she was very poor, she was an enemy slave girl and now she is enjoying the most luxurious dwelling place with the one her heart loves.  They are close, near one another at this point.

How much does a sense of the sureness of this foundation confirm and heighten the joy!

A most delightful surprise

Song of Songs 6:11-13

Solomon lets his bride know that when he went looking for fruit in the holy heart of his wife, she was much more mature sooner than he thought.  “Before I knew it, my desire set me among the royal chariots of my people”

She is a worthy fighter in Solomon’s army.  Sure looks like the queen went out to battle or at least was among the royal chariots.  Like she was in on there plans.  More than likely she is a warrior spreading the truth and God’s enemies where being destroyed by her living up to her name and being the princes of peace with royal sandaled feet bringing good news of the coming messiah.

I must say I haven’t studied this enough to know what all this is.  Lord willing I will come back later to this one.

Then the daughters of Jerusalem wanted to see the bride and bid her come back from being among the royal chariots.

And the princess of peace dances the Mahanaim.   A dance of victory over her enemies of sin, her flesh, the world and Satan.

All of 6:10-13 is context for the next longest praise in the Song. 7:1-7

The Song ends with the bride desperately yearning for the return of her husband and she has been fruit beyond imagining!  She has got quite the praise coming her way when the greatest type of Christ returns to his bride!
