Song of Songs 8:12
_ _ “mine” by grant of the true Solomon. Not merely “let out to keepers,” as in the Jewish dispensation of works, but “mine” by grace. This is “before me,” that is, in my power [Maurer]. But though no longer under constraint of “keeping” the law as a mere letter and covenant of works, love to Jesus Christ will constrain her the more freely to render all to Solomon (Romans 8:2-4; 1 Corinthians 6:20; Galatians 5:13; 1 Peter 2:16), after having paid what justice and His will require should be paid to others (1 Corinthians 7:29-31; 1 Corinthians 9:14). “Before me” may also mean “I will never lose sight of it” (contrast Song of Songs 1:6) [Moody Stuart]. She will not keep it for herself, though so freely given to her, but for His use and glory (Luke 19:13; Romans 6:15; Romans 14:7-9; 1 Corinthians 12:7). Or the “two hundred” may mean a double tithe (two-tenths of the whole paid back by Jesus Christ) as the reward of grace for our surrender of all (the thousand) to Him (Galatians 6:7; Hebrews 6:10); then she and “those that keep” are the same [Adelaide Newton]. But Jesus Christ pays back not merely two tithes, but His all for our all (1 Corinthians 3:21-23). |
Song of Songs 8:12
My vineyard — My church, which is here opposed to Solomon's vineyard. Possibly we may ascribe the first clause to Christ, and the latter to the spouse: such interlocutions being familiar in this book. Mine — This repetition is very emphatical, to shew that Christ had a more eminent title to his vineyard, the church, than Solomon had to his vineyard, because it was purchased not by his money, but by his blood. Before me — Is under my own eye and care. Thou — These words are the church's return to Christ, who is here called Solomon, as he was Song of Songs 3:9, Song of Songs 3:11, as elsewhere he is called David. Dost thou, O Christ, keep thine own vineyard, which Solomon did not? Then surely it is meet that thou shouldst receive as large a revenue from thy vineyard, as he did from his. Two hundred — Though the chief revenue is justly given to thee, yet thy ministers, who serve thee in thy vineyard, are allowed by thee to receive some encouragement for their service. |
