Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Song of Songs 3:9

_ _ chariot — more elaborately made than the “bed” or travelling litter (Song of Songs 3:7), from a Hebrew root, “to elaborate” [Ewald]. So the temple of “cedar of Lebanon,” as compared with the temporary tabernacle of shittim wood (2 Samuel 7:2, 2 Samuel 7:6, 2 Samuel 7:7; 1 Kings 5:14; 1 Kings 6:15-18), Jesus Christ’s body is the antitype, “made” by the Father for Him (1 Corinthians 1:30; Hebrews 10:5), the wood answering to His human nature, the gold, His divine; the two being but one Christ.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Song of Songs 3:7-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Song of Songs 3:9

A chariot — In which the royal bridegroom and bride might ride together in state. By this chariot he seems to understand the word of Christ dispensed by his ministers, whereby Christ rides triumphantly in the world, and believers are carried into heavenly glory. Of Lebanon — Of cedars, which wood being incorruptible, doth fitly signify the word of the gospel, which endureth forever, 1 Peter 1:25.
