Song of Songs 7:4
_ _ tower of ivory — In Song of Songs 4:4, Jesus Christ saith, “a tower of David builded for an armory.” Strength and conquest are the main thought in His description; here, beauty and polished whiteness; contrast Song of Songs 1:5.
_ _ fishpools — seen by Burckhardt, clear (Revelation 22:1), deep, quiet, and full (1 Corinthians 2:10, 1 Corinthians 2:15).
_ _ Heshbon — east of Jordan, residence of the Amorite king, Sihon (Numbers 21:25, etc.), afterwards held by Gad.
_ _ Bath-rabbim — “daughter of a multitude”; a crowded thoroughfare. Her eyes (Song of Songs 4:1) are called by Jesus Christ, “doves’ eyes,” waiting on Him. But here, looked on by the daughters or Jerusalem, they are compared to a placid lake. She is calm even amidst the crowd (Proverbs 8:2; John 16:33).
_ _ nose — or, face.
_ _ tower of Lebanon — a border-fortress, watching the hostile Damascus. Towards Jesus Christ her face was full of holy shame (see on Song of Songs 4:1; see on Song of Songs 4:3); towards spiritual foes, like a watchtower (Habakkuk 2:1; Mark 13:37; Acts 4:13), elevated, so that she looks not up from earth to heaven, but down from heaven to earth. If we retain “nose,” discernment of spiritual fragrance is meant. |
Song of Songs 7:4
Like fishpools — Full, and clear, and quiet, and pleasant. Heshbon — A pleasant and well watered city, beyond Jordan. The tower — Which was in all probability built by Solomon in the mountain of Lebanon, the northern border of the land of Israel towards Damascus; and therefore a very fit place for a watch — tower. Which looketh — There was another tower or building in or near Jerusalem, which was called the house of the forest of Lebanon, 1 Kings 7:2. |
