Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Song of Songs 5:6

_ _ withdrawn — He knocked when she was sleeping; for to have left her then would have ended in the death sleep; He withdraws now that she is roused, as she needs correction (Jeremiah 2:17, Jeremiah 2:19), and can appreciate and safely bear it now, which she could not then. “The strong He’ll strongly try” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

_ _ when he spake — rather, “because of His speaking”; at the remembrance of His tender words (Job 29:2, Job 29:3; Psalms 27:13; Psalms 142:7), or till He should speak.

_ _ no answer — (Job 23:3-9; Job 30:20; Job 34:29; Lamentations 3:44). Weak faith receives immediate comfort (Luke 8:44, Luke 8:47, Luke 8:48); strong faith is tried with delay (Matthew 15:22, Matthew 15:23).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Song of Songs 5:2-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Song of Songs 5:6

With — drawn — Denied me his comfortable presence, as a just punishment for my former neglect. Faded — Heb. went out of me: I fainted and was ready to die away, for those endearing expressions related, Song of Songs 5:2, which then I did not heed. I sought — By diligent enquiry and importunate prayer.
