Contextual Overview
The Lover to His Beloved:
My darling, you are as beautiful as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as awe-inspiring as bannered armies! 5 Turn your eyes away from me— they overwhelm me! Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead. 6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep coming up from the washing; each has its twin; not one of them is missing. 7 Like a slice of pomegranate is your forehead behind your veil. 8 There may be sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and young women without number. 9 But she is unique! My dove, my perfect one! She is the special daughter of her mother, she is the favorite of the one who bore her. The maidens saw her and complimented her; the queens and concubines praised her: 10 "Who is this who appears like the dawn? Beautiful as the moon, bright as the sun, awe-inspiring as the stars in procession?"Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
As a piece of a pomegranate [are] thy temples within thy locks. The same descriptions are given in Song of Solomon 4:3;
Song of Solomon 4:3- :; and these are repeated, to show the reality of the church's beauty, and for the sake of confirmation; and that it still continued the same, notwithstanding her failings and infirmities; and that Christ had the same esteem of her, and love to her, he ever had. That part of the description, respecting the church's lips and speech, in Song of Solomon 4:3; is here omitted, though added at the end of Song of Solomon 6:6; by the Septuagint; but is not in the Hebrew copies, nor taken notice of in the Targum; yea, the Masorah, on Song of Solomon 4:2, remarks some words as only used in that place, and therefore could not be repeated here in the copies then in use.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The section might be entitled, “Renewed declaration of love after brief estrangement.”
Song of Solomon 6:4
Tirzah ... Jerusalem - Named together as the then two fairest cities of the land. For Jerusalem compare Psalms 48:2. “Tirzah” (i. e., “Grace” or “Beauty “)was an old Canaanite royal city Joshua 12:24. It became again a royal residence during the reigns of Baasha and his three successors in the kingdom of the ten tribes, and may well therefore have been famed for its beauty in the time of Solomon.
Terrible as ... - Awe-inspiring as the bannered (hosts). The warlike image, like others in the Song, serves to enhance the charm of its assured peace.
Song of Solomon 6:5
Even for the king the gentle eyes of the bride have an awe-striking majesty. Such is the condescension of love. Now follows Song of Solomon 6:5-7 the longest of the repetitions which abound in the Song, marking the continuance of the king’s affection as when first solemnly proclaimed Song of Solomon 4:1-6. The two descriptions belong, according to some (Christian) expositors, to the Church of different periods, e. g. to the primitive Church in the splendor of her first vocation, and to the Church under Constantine; other (Jewish) expositors apply them to “the congregation of Israel” under the first and second temples respectively.
Song of Solomon 6:9
The king contrasts the bride with the other claimants for her royal estate or favor Song of Solomon 6:8. She not only outshines them all for him, but herself has received from them disinterested blessing and praise.
This passage is invaluable as a divine witness to the principle of monogamy under the Old Testament and in the luxurious age of Solomon.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Song of Solomon 6:7. As a piece of a pomegranate — See on Song of Solomon 4:3.
