This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Bring thee, with joy and triumph, as the bridegroom was usually brought to the bride’s house. See Psa_45:14,15.
Into my mother’s house; either,
1. My mother’s-inlaw, my husband’s mother, as the custom was, Gen_24:61 Jud_12:9. Or,
2. My own mother’s, to show her extraordinary respect and affection to him. In the mystical sense both come to one; for the universal church was in some sort both his and her mother.
Who would instruct me, to wit, how I should behave myself towards thee. Or, where she did instruct or educate me.
I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate; I would give thee the best entertainment which the house affords. My gifts and graces should all be employed to serve and glorify thee.
