Matthew Poole and continuators on Song of Solomon 3:7

7 Behold, his bed , which is Solomons , threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel .

These are the words either 1. Of the Bridemen, who spake v. 6. and here continue their speech, and from the admiration of the Bride proceed to the admiration of the Bridegroom. Or 2. Of the Spouse, who being admired by the Bridemen, turns their Eyes and Thoughts to the Bridegroom, and directs them to the study of his excellencies, and intimates that all her comfort and safety is from him. The Bed, the place of rest and conjugal converse, seems to denote the Church, which is comely through Christs Beauty, and safe by his Protection, in which Christ is glorified, and Believers enjoy sweet fellowship with him, both here in the Church militant, and especially hereafter in the Church triumphant.

Which is the Bed, not of an ordinary Man, but of a great King, whom Solomon represents or typifies, and who is greater than Solomon. Nor is it hard to understand the Messias under the name of Solomon, his Type and Progenitor, seeing he is, upon the same reason, called David, Ier. 30. 9. Ezek. 34. 23. and elsewhere, especially considering that this whole Book is by the confession both of Jewish and Christian Interpreters to be mystically understood.

i. e. very many, the certain number being put for an uncertain, as is frequent.

He alludes to Solomons Guard, or Watchmen, whereby he designs all those Creatures, whether Angels, Princes, Ministers, or others, whose Ministry God useth for the Protection of his Church.
