Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty - That is, in consequence of your love to him, and your entire devotion of yourself to him. The word "desire" here is equivalent to having pleasure in; as meaning that his affliction would thus be fixed on her. In this way - by forgetting her own home, and devoting herself to him - she would secure his affection. In the married life, mere "beauty" will not secure permanently the love of a husband. The heart, as given to him, and as faithful to him, will alone secure his love. In like manner, it is nothing but sincere affection - true love on the part of the professed friends of the Saviour - the forgetting and forsaking of all else - that will secure his love, or make the church to him an object of desire.
For he is thy Lord - That is, as a husband he sustains this relation to thee; or, this appellation may be given to him. In what sense this is true in respect to a husband, see the notes at Pe1 3:6; notes at Co1 11:3. In respect to the Saviour, the dominion implied in the word "Lord" is absolute and entire.
And worship thou him - That is, as applicable to a bride, Show him respect, honor, reverence. See the notes at Eph 5:33. The word means properly to bow down; then, to show respect, as to a superior; and then, to show proper respect to God, to wit, by worshipping or adoring him. See the notes at Mat 2:11; see Mat 8:2; Mat 14:33; Mat 15:25; Mat 18:26; Mat 28:9; Rev 19:10; Rev 22:9; compare the notes at Heb 1:6. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| So - So thou shalt be acceptable to thy husband; which will abundantly recompence thee, for the loss of thy father's house. Thy Lord - As he is thy husband, and also as he is thy king, and God. |
6 And [1161] again [3825], when [3752] he bringeth in [1521] the firstbegotten [4416] into [1519] the world [3625], he saith [3004], And [2532] let [4352] all [3956] the angels [32] of God [2316] worship [4352] him [846].
9 Then [2532] saith he [3004] unto me [3427], See [3708] thou do it not [3361]: for [1063] I am [1510] thy [4675] fellowservant [4889], and [2532] of thy [4675] brethren [80] the prophets [4396], and [2532] of them which keep [5083] the sayings [3056] of this [5127] book [975]: worship [4352] God [2316].
10 And [2532] I fell [4098] at [1715] his [846] feet [4228] to worship [4352] him [846]. And [2532] he said [3004] unto me [3427], See [3708] thou do it not [3361]: I am [1510] thy [4675] fellowservant [4889], and [2532] of thy [4675] brethren [80] that have [2192] the testimony [3141] of Jesus [2424]: worship [4352] God [2316]: for [1063] the testimony [3141] of Jesus [2424] is [2076] the spirit [4151] of prophecy [4394].
9 And [1161] as [5613] they went [4198] to tell [518] his [846] disciples [3101], [2532] behold [2400], Jesus [2424] met [528] them [846], saying [3004], All hail [5463]. And [1161] they came [4334] and held [2902] him [846] by the feet [4228], and [2532] worshipped [4352] him [846].
26 The servant [1401] therefore [3767] fell down [4098], and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], have patience [3114] with [1909] me [1698], and [2532] I will pay [591] thee [4671] all [3956].
25 Then [1161] came she [2064] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], help [997] me [3427].
33 Then [1161] they that were in [1722] the ship [4143] came [2064] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Of a truth [230] thou art [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316].
2 And [2532], behold [2400], there came [2064] a leper [3015] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], if [1437] thou wilt [2309], thou canst [1410] make [2511] me [3165] clean [2511].
11 And [2532] when they were come [2064] into [1519] the house [3614], they saw [2147] [1492] the young child [3813] with [3326] Mary [3137] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] fell down [4098], and worshipped [4352] him [846]: and [2532] when they had opened [455] their [846] treasures [2344], they presented [4374] unto him [846] gifts [1435]; gold [5557], and [2532] frankincense [3030], and [2532] myrrh [4666].
33 Nevertheless [4133] [2532] let [25] every one [1520] [1538] of you [5210] in particular [2596] so [3779] love [25] his [1438] wife [1135] even as [5613] himself [1438]; and [1161] the wife [1135] see that [2443] she reverence [5399] her husband [435].
3 But [1161] I would have [2309] you [5209] know [1492], that [3754] the head [2776] of every [3956] man [435] is [2076] Christ [5547]; and [1161] the head [2776] of the woman [1135] is the man [435]; and [1161] the head [2776] of Christ [5547] is God [2316].
6 Even as [5613] Sara [4564] obeyed [5219] Abraham [11], calling [2564] him [846] lord [2962]: whose [3739] daughters [5043] ye are [1096], as long as ye do well [15], and [2532] are [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399] with any [3367] amazement [4423].
