Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Song of Songs 6:10

_ _ The words expressing the admiration of the daughters. Historically (Acts 5:24-39).

_ _ as the morning — As yet she is not come to the fullness of her light (Proverbs 4:18).

_ _ moon — shining in the night, by light borrowed from the sun; so the bride, in the darkness of this world, reflects the light of the Sun of righteousness (2 Corinthians 3:18).

_ _ sun — Her light of justification is perfect, for it is His (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 4:17). The moon has less light, and has only one half illuminated; so the bride’s sanctification is as yet imperfect. Her future glory (Matthew 13:43).

_ _ army — (Song of Songs 6:4). The climax requires this to be applied to the starry and angelic hosts, from which God is called Lord of Sabaoth. Her final glory (Genesis 15:5; Daniel 12:3; Revelation 12:1). The Church Patriarchal, “the morning”; Levitical, “the moon”; Evangelical, “the sun”; Triumphant, “the bannered army” (Revelation 19:14).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Song of Songs 6:4-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Song of Songs 6:10

Who — These are the words of the queens and concubines. Who, what manner of person is this, how excellent and glorious! Morning — As the morning light, which coming after the darkness, is very pleasant and amiable.
