Clarke's Song-of-solomon 5:9 Bible Commentary
What is thy beloved more than another beloved - This question gives the bride an opportunity to break out into a highly wrought description of the beauty and perfections of her spouse.
Barnes's Song-of-solomon 5:9 Bible Commentary
Section Songs 5:9-6:3: The bride's commendation of the beloved. In the allegorical interpretations of Jewish expositors all is here spoken by exiled Israel of the Holy One whose praise she sings "by the waters of Babylon" Psalm 137:1. Christian interpreters apply the description directly to the Incarnate Son, partly in His Eternal Godhead, but chiefly in His risen and glorified Humanity.
Wesley's Song-of-solomon 5:9 Bible Commentary
5:9 What is - Wherein doth he excel them? Believers might ask this, that they might be more fully informed of it.
