Commentary
Commentary on Song of Solomon 3:10
Theological / DevotionalPillars. Presumably the bedposts or corner posts either made of solid silver or covered with silver plate. Royal chariots were richly adorned.
The bottom. Heb. rephidah, which seems rather to refer to the support, or railing, on the sides of a litter.
The covering. Heb. merkab. Rather the “seat” of the litter. The word appears in Lev. 15:9, where it is translated “saddle.”
Paved with love. The latter part of this verse reads literally, “its interior, paved love from the daughters of Jerusalem.” A free translation would be, “the interior was decorated as a mark of love by the daughters of Jerusalem.” The paving with love may refer to verses worked on the counterpane, the hangings, or the carpet by the daughters of Jerusalem as an expression of their love for King Solomon and his bride.
