10. Hearken, O daughter, &c.] Understand, and consider seriously, O royal bride, the happiness of being married to such a prince; and let not the thoughts of thy own country and family dwell too much upon thy mind: in like manner must the true Christian, when brought to Christ, renounce the world, and even his dearest connexions, for his sake. Bp. Patrick, Travell. 12. And the daughter of Tyre &c. The people of the rich and neighbouring city of Tyre shall come and bring presents; the most powerful among them shall solicit thy favour; as the kings of the earth shall hereafter bring their glory and honour into the church, Rev. xxi. 24. Bp. Patrick. 13. The king's daughter &c.] The bride of our prince is no less adorned with all excellent qualities of mind, than her body is with rich and splendid attire; so the ornaments of those that are born of God in the Christian church shall not be so much "that outward adorning of wearing of gold, as the hidden man of the heart, which is in the sight of God of great price," 1 Pet. iii. 3, 4. Bp. Patrick.
