Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Song of Songs 5:8

_ _ She turns from the unsympathizing watchmen to humbler persons, not yet themselves knowing Him, but in the way towards it. Historically, His secret friends in the night of His withdrawal (Luke 23:27, Luke 23:28). Inquirers may find (“if ye find”) Jesus Christ before she who has grieved His Spirit finds Him again.

_ _ tell — in prayer (James 5:16).

_ _ sick of love — from an opposite cause (Song of Songs 2:5) than through excess of delight at His presence; now excess of pain at His absence.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

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

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Song of Songs 5:8

O daughters — The church having passed the watchmen, proceeds in the pursuit of her beloved, and enquires of every particular believer whom she meets concerning him. Tell him — That I am ready to faint for want of his presence.
