The "daughters of Zion" refers to the women of Jerusalem, symbolizing the people of God. In a broader sense, Zion often represents the spiritual community or the church. The Hebrew root for "come out" (&#1497;&#1464;&#1510;&#1464;&#1488;, yatsa) implies a movement from one place to another, suggesting a transition from the ordinary to the extraordinary. This invitation is not just physical but spiritual, urging believers to step out of their daily lives to witness and participate in the divine celebration.<p><b>and see King Solomon</b><br />The focus shifts to "King Solomon," a central figure in this verse. Solomon, known for his wisdom and wealth, is a type of Christ in Christian theology. His reign is often seen as a foreshadowing of the peace and prosperity of Christ's kingdom. The Hebrew word for "see" (&#1512;&#1464;&#1488;&#1464;&#1492;, ra'ah) implies more than just a visual observation; it suggests understanding and perceiving with insight. This call to "see" is an invitation to recognize the deeper spiritual truths represented by Solomon's kingship.<p><b>wearing the crown</b><br />The "crown" symbolizes authority, honor, and celebration. In ancient Israel, a crown was a sign of royal dignity and was often used in weddings to signify joy and festivity. The Hebrew word for "crown" (&#1506;&#1458;&#1496;&#1464;&#1512;&#1464;&#1492;, atarah) can also mean a wreath or garland, emphasizing beauty and victory. This imagery points to the ultimate victory and honor of Christ, the King of Kings, who is crowned with glory and honor.<p><b>with which his mother crowned him</b><br />This phrase highlights the intimate and familial aspect of the coronation. Solomon's mother, Bathsheba, plays a significant role, symbolizing the nurturing and supportive role of the community of faith. The act of a mother crowning her son on his wedding day underscores the joy and approval of the family and community. It reflects the biblical theme of generational blessing and the passing down of faith and tradition.<p><b>on the day of his wedding</b><br />The "wedding" day is a time of covenant and union, reflecting the deep relationship between God and His people. In Christian theology, marriage is often used as a metaphor for the relationship between Christ and the Church. The Hebrew word for "wedding" (&#1495;&#1458;&#1514;&#1467;&#1504;&#1464;&#1468;&#1492;, chathunah) signifies a binding agreement, emphasizing commitment and love. This imagery points to the ultimate union of Christ with His bride, the Church, at the end of time.<p><b>the day of his heart&#8217;s rejoicing</b><br />This phrase captures the essence of joy and fulfillment. The "heart" in Hebrew (&#1500;&#1461;&#1489;, lev) represents the center of emotions and will. The "rejoicing" (&#1513;&#1460;&#1474;&#1502;&#1456;&#1495;&#1464;&#1492;, simchah) is a profound, exuberant joy that comes from deep within. This is not just a fleeting happiness but a deep, abiding joy that comes from fulfilling one's purpose and destiny. For Christians, this points to the joy of Christ in redeeming His people and the joy of believers in being united with their Savior.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/songs/3.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold King Solomon, with the crown wherewith his mother hath crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart</span>. This seems to be an appeal to a larger company of those who will rejoice in the bride and her happiness. The daughters of Zion are perhaps intended to represent the people generally as distinguished from the ladies of the court, <span class="accented">i.e.</span> let all the people rejoice in their king and in his royal bride. The mention of the royal mother seems to point to the beginning of Solomon's reign as the time referred to. The crown, or chaplet, with which the proud mother adorned her son, was the fresh wreath round a young king's head, a wedding coronet, no doubt made of gold and silver. It was not the crown placed on the head of Pharaoh's daughter, which would not be so spoken cf. According to the Talmud, the custom remained even to later times. There can be no doubt of Bathsheba's special delight in Solomon (see <a href="/1_kings/1-11.htm">1 Kings 1:11</a>; <a href="/1_kings/2-13.htm">1 Kings 2:13</a>). We must not, of course, push too far the typical interpretation of such language, which may be taken as the poetical form rather than the spiritual substance. And yet there may be an allusion, in the joy and pride of Bathsheba in her son's gladness, and the consummation of his nuptial bliss, to the Incarnation and the crowning glory of a Divine humanity, which is at once the essential fact of redemption, and the bright expectation which, on the head of the Saviour, lights up eternity to the faith of his people. <p> <p> <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/songs/3-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Come out,</span><br /><span class="heb">&#1510;&#1456;&#1488;&#1462;&#1447;&#1497;&#1504;&#1464;&#1492;
