Song of Songs 1:9
_ _ horses in Pharaoh’s chariots — celebrated for beauty, swiftness, and ardor, at the Red Sea (Exodus 14:15). These qualities, which seem to belong to the ungodly, really belong to the saints [Moody Stuart]. The allusion may be to the horses brought at a high price by Solomon out of Egypt (2 Chronicles 1:16, 2 Chronicles 1:17). So the bride is redeemed out of spiritual Egypt by the true Solomon, at an infinite price (Isaiah 51:1; 1 Peter 1:18, 1 Peter 1:19). But the deliverance from Pharaoh at the Red Sea accords with the allusion to the tabernacle (Song of Songs 1:5; Song of Songs 3:6, Song of Songs 3:7); it rightly is put at the beginning of the Church’s call. The ardor and beauty of the bride are the point of comparison; (Song of Songs 1:4) “run”; (Song of Songs 1:5) “comely.” Also, like Pharaoh’s horses, she forms a great company (Revelation 19:7, Revelation 19:14). As Jesus Christ is both Shepherd and Conqueror, so believers are not only His sheep, but also, as a Church militant now, His chariots and horses (Song of Songs 6:4). |
Song of Songs 1:9
Compared thee — For strength and courage, to overcome all thine enemies. For horses are famous for that property, and the strength of the battle was then thought to consist much in horses, and chariots, especially in a company or multitude of them. And the church in this book is represented not only as fair and beautiful, but also as terrible to her enemies. |
