Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Song of Songs 4:9

_ _ sister ... spouse — This title is here first used, as He is soon about to institute the Supper, the pledge of the nuptial union. By the term “sister,” carnal ideas are excluded; the ardor of a spouse’s love is combined with the purity of a sister’s (Isaiah 54:5; compare Mark 3:35).

_ _ one — Even one look is enough to secure His love (Zechariah 12:10; Luke 23:40-43). Not merely the Church collectively, but each one member of it (Matthew 18:10, Matthew 18:14; Luke 15:7, Luke 15:24, Luke 15:32).

_ _ chain — necklace (Isaiah 62:3; Malachi 3:17), answering to the “shields” hanging in the tower of David (Song of Songs 4:4). Compare the “ornament” (1 Peter 3:4); “chains” (Proverbs 1:9; Proverbs 3:22).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Song of Songs 4:8-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Song of Songs 4:9

My sister — So he calls her to shew the greatness of his love, which cannot sufficiently be expressed by any one relation. With one — With one glance. One chain — With one of those other graces and perfections wherewith thou art adorned.
