Theological / Devotional

Chiefest among ten thousand. A fitting title of Christ.

The description of the bridegroom continues through v. 16 and reaches a climax in the expression “He is altogether lovely.” This description is frequently coupled with the title, “chiefest among ten thousand,” when referring to Christ.
