This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Because of the savour of thy good ointments; because of those excellent gifts and graces of God’s Spirit wherewith thou art replenished, and which flow from thee upon thy members,
Thy name; either,
1. Thou thyself;
names being oft put for persons, as Act_1:15 Rev_3:4. Or rather,
2. Thy fame or report, the very mention of thee, and all those things by which thou makest thyself known to men, thy word, and particularly thine offers and promises of pardon and salvation made to sinners, and all thy works, both ordinary and miraculous, especially that great work of redemption.
Is as ointment poured forth; most lovely, and acceptable, and refreshing.
The virgins, called the companions of the bride, Psa_45:14, particular believers, who are called virgins, 2Co_11:2 Rev_14:4, who have their senses exercised to perceive this sweetness and fulness of Christ.
