Song of Songs 1:4
_ _ (1) The cry of ancient Israel for Messiah, for example, Simeon, Anna, etc. (2) The cry of an awakened soul for the drawing of the Spirit, after it has got a glimpse of Christ’s loveliness and its own helplessness.
_ _ Draw me — The Father draws (John 6:44). The Son draws (Jeremiah 31:3; Hosea 11:4; John 12:32). “Draw” here, and “Tell” (Song of Songs 1:7), reverently qualify the word “kiss” (Song of Songs 1:2).
_ _ me, we — No believer desires to go to heaven alone. We are converted as individuals; we follow Christ as joined in a communion of saints (John 1:41, John 1:45). Individuality and community meet in the bride.
_ _ run — Her earnestness kindles as she prays (Isaiah 40:31; Psalms 119:32, Psalms 119:60).
_ _ after thee — not before (John 10:4).
_ _ king ... brought me into — (Psalms 45:14, Psalms 45:15; John 10:16). He is the anointed Priest (Song of Songs 1:3); King (Song of Songs 1:4).
_ _ chambers — Her prayer is answered even beyond her desires. Not only is she permitted to run after Him, but is brought into the inmost pavilion, where Eastern kings admitted none but the most intimate friends (Esther 4:11; Esther 5:2; Psalms 27:5). The erection of the temple of Solomon was the first bringing of the bride into permanent, instead of migratory, chambers of the King. Christ’s body on earth was the next (John 2:21), whereby believers are brought within the veil (Ephesians 2:6; Hebrews 10:19, Hebrews 10:20). Entrance into the closet for prayer is the first step. The earnest of the future bringing into heaven (John 14:3). His chambers are the bride’s also (Isaiah 26:20). There are various chambers, plural (John 14:2).
_ _ be glad and rejoice — inward and outward rejoicing.
_ _ in thee — (Isaiah 61:10; Philippians 4:1, Philippians 4:4). Not in our spiritual frames (Psalms 30:6, Psalms 30:7).
_ _ remember — rather, “commemorate with praises” (Isaiah 63:7). The mere remembrance of spiritual joys is better than the present enjoyment of carnal ones (Psalms 4:6, Psalms 4:7).
_ _ upright — rather, “uprightly,” “sincerely” (Psalms 58:1; Romans 12:9); so Nathanael (John 1:47); Peter (John 21:17); or “deservedly” [Maurer]. |
Song of Songs 1:4
Draw me — By thy grace and holy spirit. We — Both I, thy spouse, and the virgins, my companions. And this change of numbers teaches us that the spouse is one great body, consisting of many members. Run — Will follow thee readily, chearfully, and swiftly. The king — Christ, the king of his church, hath answered my prayer. Chambers — Where I may freely converse with him, and enjoy him. He hath taken me into intimate communion with himself. Remember — This shall be the matter of our thoughts and discourses. |
