Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Sudden outpourings of the Spirit on Pentecost (Act 2:1-13), while the Church was using the means (answering to "the garden," Sol 6:11; Joh 3:8).
Ammi-nadib--supposed to me one proverbial for swift driving. Similarly (Sol 1:9). Rather, "my willing people" (Psa 110:3). A willing chariot bore a "willing people"; or Nadib is the Prince, Jesus Christ (Psa 68:17). She is borne in a moment into His presence (Eph 2:6). |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Or ever - I was surprized with a vehement desire of my spouse, which is to be understood figuratively, and so as to agree with the majesty and omnisciency of Christ. Ammi - nadib - Eager in my desire, and swift in my motion towards the church. Ammi - nadib is supposed to be some eminent charioteer then well known, and famous for his speed in driving chariots. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| The chariots of Amminadib - Probably for their great speed these chariots became proverbial. The passage marks a strong agitation of mind, and something like what we term palpitation of the heart. As I am not aware of any spiritual meaning here, I must be excused from commenting on that which is literal. Amminadib signifies my noble or princely people; but it may here be a proper name, and Amminadib might be celebrated for his skill and rapidity in driving, as Jehu was. |
6 And [2532] hath raised us up together [4891], and [2532] made us sit together [4776] in [1722] heavenly [2032] places in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424]:
17 The chariots [07393] of God [0430] are twenty thousand [07239], even thousands [0505] of angels [08136]: the Lord [0136] is among them, as in Sinai [05514], in the holy [06944] place.
3 Thy people [05971] shall be willing [05071] in the day [03117] of thy power [02428], in the beauties [01926] of holiness [06944] from the womb [07358] of the morning [04891]: thou hast the dew [02919] of thy youth [03208].
9 I have compared [01819] thee, O my love [07474], to a company of horses [05484] in Pharaoh's [06547] chariots [07393].
8 The wind [4151] bloweth [4154] where [3699] it listeth [2309], and [2532] thou hearest [191] the sound [5456] thereof [846], but [235] canst [1492] not [3756] tell [1492] whence [4159] it cometh [2064], and [2532] whither [4226] it goeth [5217]: so [3779] is [2076] every one [3956] that is born [1080] of [1537] the Spirit [4151].
11 I went down [03381] into the garden [01594] of nuts [093] to see [07200] the fruits [03] of the valley [05158], and to see [07200] whether the vine [01612] flourished [06524], and the pomegranates [07416] budded [05132].
1 And [2532] when [1722] the day [2250] of Pentecost [4005] was fully come [4845], they were [2258] all [537] with one accord [3661] in [1909] one place [846].
2 And [2532] suddenly [869] there came [1096] a sound [2279] from [1537] heaven [3772] as [5618] of a rushing [5342] mighty [972] wind [4157], and [2532] it filled [4137] all [3650] the house [3624] where [3757] they were [2258] sitting [2521].
3 And [2532] there appeared [3700] unto them [846] cloven [1266] tongues [1100] like as [5616] of fire [4442], and [5037] it sat [2523] upon [1909] each [1538] [1520] of them [846].
4 And [2532] they were [4130] all [537] filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] began [756] to speak with [2980] other [2087] tongues [1100], as [2531] the Spirit [4151] gave [1325] them [846] utterance [669].
5 And [1161] there were [2258] dwelling [2730] at [1722] Jerusalem [2419] Jews [2453], devout [2126] men [435], out of [575] every [3956] nation [1484] under [5259] heaven [3772].
6 Now [1161] when this [5026] was [1096] noised abroad [5456], the multitude [4128] came together [4905], and [2532] were confounded [4797], because [3754] that every [1538] man [1520] heard [191] them [846] speak [2980] in his own [2398] language [1258].
7 And [1161] they were [1839] all [3956] amazed [1839] and [2532] marvelled [2296], saying [3004] one to another [4314] [240], Behold [2400], are [1526] not [3756] all [3956] these [3778] which [3588] speak [2980] Galilaeans [1057]?
8 And [2532] how [4459] hear [191] we [2249] every [1538] man in our [2257] own [2398] tongue [1258], wherein [1722] [3739] we were born [1080]?
9 Parthians [3934], and [2532] Medes [3370], and [2532] Elamites [1639], and [2532] the dwellers [2730] in Mesopotamia [3318], and [5037] in Judaea [2449], and [2532] Cappadocia [2587], in Pontus [4195], and [2532] Asia [773],
10 [5037] Phrygia [5435], and [5037] [2532] Pamphylia [3828], in Egypt [125], and [2532] in the parts [3313] of Libya [3033] about [2596] Cyrene [2957], and [2532] strangers [1927] of Rome [4514], [5037] Jews [2453] and [5037] [2532] proselytes [4339],
11 Cretes [2912] and [2532] Arabians [690], we do hear [191] them [846] speak [2980] in our [2251] tongues [1100] the wonderful works [3167] of God [2316].
12 And [1161] they were [1839] all [3956] amazed [1839], and [2532] were in doubt [1280], saying [3004] one [243] to [4314] another [243], What [5101] meaneth [2309] [302] [1511] this [5124]?
13 [1161] Others [2087] mocking [5512] said [3004], [3754] These men are [1526] full [3325] of new wine [1098].
