Commentary on Song of Solomon 1

Adam Clarke's verse-by-verse commentary on Song of Solomon 1, from Commentary on the Bible. Read it alongside the full text of the chapter.

The bride's love to her spouse, Sol 1:1-5. She conffieuses her unworthiness; desires to be directed to the flock, Sol 1:6, Sol 1:7; and she is directed to the shepherds' tents, Sol 1:8. The bridegroom describes his bride, and shows how he will provide for her, and how comfortably they are accommodated, Sol 1:9-17.
