People’s New Testament Commentary
Even Solomon in all his glory. To the Jew the court of Solomon was the highest representation of human glory. The magnificence of the court is not only celebrated in Jewish writings, but in all Oriental literature, and it is still proverbial throughout the East. Yet he was never arrayed with the taste and beauty of “one of these.” It is probable that both birds and lilies were in sight from where the Lord was sitting.
Adam Clarke’s Commentary
Verse 29. Solomon in all his glory— Some suppose that as the robes of state worn by the eastern kings were usually white, as were those of the nobles among the Jews, that therefore the lily was chosen for the comparison.
