Song of Songs 1:16
_ _ Reply of the Bride. She presumes to call Him beloved, because He called her so first. Thou callest me “fair”; if I am so, it is not in myself; it is all from Thee (Psalms 90:17); but Thou art fair in Thyself (Psalms 45:2).
_ _ pleasant — (Proverbs 3:17) towards Thy friends (2 Samuel 1:26).
_ _ bed ... green — the couch of green grass on which the King and His bride sit to “rest at noon.” Thus her prayer in Song of Songs 1:7 is here granted; a green oasis in the desert, always found near waters in the East (Psalms 23:2; Isaiah 41:17-19). The scene is a kiosk, or summer house. Historically, the literal resting of the Babe of Beth-lehem and his parents on the green grass provided for cattle (Luke 2:7, Luke 2:12). In this verse there is an incidental allusion, in Song of Songs 1:15, to the offering (Luke 2:24). So the “cedar and fir” ceiling refers to the temple (1 Kings 5:6-10; 1 Kings 6:15-18); type of the heavenly temple (Revelation 21:22). |
Song of Songs 1:16
Behold — The church here again speaks, and retorts Christ's words; thou, and thou only art fair indeed. Pleasant — As thou art beautiful in thyself, so thou art amiable and pleasant in thy condescention to me. Bed — This seems to denote the place where the church enjoys sweet fellowship with Christ, by his spirit accompanying his ordinances. Green — Is pleasant, as that colour to the eye. |
Song of Songs 1:16

Revelation 5:11-13 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; ... And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
