Definitions for Song-of-solomon 5:16
Clarke's Song-of-solomon 5:16 Bible Commentary
His mouth is most sweet - His eloquence is great, and his voice is charming. Every word he speaks is sweetness, mildness, and benevolence itself. Then, her powers of description failing, and metaphor exhausted she cries out, "The whole of him is loveliness. This is my beloved, and this is my companion, O ye daughters of Jerusalem."
Barnes's Song-of-solomon 5:16 Bible Commentary
He is altogether lovely - literally, the whole of him desires or delights; the plural substantive expressing the notion of the superlative. Theodoret, applying to our Lord the whole description, interprets well its last term: "Why should I endeavor to express His beauty piecemeal when He is in Himself and altogether the One longed-for, drawing all to love, compelling all to love, and inspiring with a longing (for His company) not only those who see, but also those who hear?"
Wesley's Song-of-solomon 5:16 Bible Commentary
5:16 Altogether - Not to run out into more particulars.
