Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Song of Songs 5:10

_ _ (1 Peter 3:15).

_ _ white and ruddy — health and beauty. So David (equivalent to beloved), His forefather after the flesh, and type (1 Samuel 17:42). “The Lamb” is at once His nuptial and sacrificial name (1 Peter 1:19; Revelation 19:7), characterized by white and red; white, His spotless manhood (Revelation 1:14). The Hebrew for white is properly “illuminated by the sun,” white as the light” (compare Matthew 17:2); red, in His blood-dyed garment as slain (Isaiah 63:1-3; Revelation 5:6; Revelation 19:13). Angels are white, not red; the blood of martyrs does not enter heaven; His alone is seen there.

_ _ chiefest — literally, “a standard bearer”; that is, as conspicuous above all others, as a standard bearer is among hosts (Psalms 45:7; Psalms 89:6; Isaiah 11:10; Isaiah 55:4; Hebrews 2:10; compare 2 Samuel 18:3; Job 33:23; Philippians 2:9-11; Revelation 1:5). The chief of sinners needs the “chiefest” of Saviors.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Song of Songs 5:9-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Song of Songs 5:10

White — The white may denote his pure and spotless innocency, and the ruddy colour his bloody passion.
