This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
These are the words, either,
1. Of the Bridegroom; or,
2. of the queens and concubines last mentioned, as praising of her. And they are either words of inquiry, or rather of admiration and commendation:
Who, i.e. what manner of person, is this? how excellent and glorious! and so this pronoun who is understood Psa_24:8 Mar_4:41, compared with Mat_8:27.
As the morning; as the morning light, which coming after the darkness of the night is very pleasant and amiable, which also suddenly spreadeth itself from the east to the west.
Fair as the moon, to wit, when it is full and walking in brightness, as the phrase is, Job_31:26. But withal he seems to intimate that the church, like the moon, may have her eclipse, and be in darkness for a time.
Clear as the sun; without any such spots or dark specks as are in the moon; which is to be understood in the same sense that she is said to be without spot, or wrinkle, or blemish, Eph_5:27, which she is partly by God’s gracious acceptation of her as such in Christ, and through his righteousness; and partly because she shall be such in the future life.
Terrible as an army with banners: see Son_6:4.
