Clarke's Song-of-solomon 8:2 Bible Commentary
Would - bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me - She would teach me how to conduct myself towards thee, as she would how to nurse a young child.
To drink of spiced wine - Wine rendered peculiarly strong and invigorating. The bride and bridegroom on the wedding day both drank out of the same cup, to show that they were to enjoy and equally bear together the comforts and adversities of life.
Barnes's Song-of-solomon 8:2 Bible Commentary
Who would instruct me - Or, thou shouldest teach me Isaiah 54:13. Some allegorists make the whole passage Cant. 7:11-8:2 a prayer of the synagogue for the Incarnation of the Word, like Sol 1:2((see note). Others, a prayer of the Church under both covenants for that complete union with the Incarnate Godhead which is still future.
Wesley's Song-of-solomon 8:2 Bible Commentary
8:2 Instruct me - Or, where she did instruct or educate me.I would - My gifts and graces should all be employed to serve and glorify thee.
