Commentary on Song of Solomon 8:5

Theological / Devotional

Who is this that cometh? Verse 5 appears to be a description of the arrival of the royal pair at the bride’s home.

Raised thee up. Literally, “aroused thee.” Solomon probably means to say that they have come back to the place where he first inspired his bride with love.

Thy mother. They have returned to the home where his bride was born.
