8 Sixty queens there may be, and eighty concubines, and virgins beyond number;
8 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.
8 There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.
8 There's no one like her on earth, never has been, never will be.
8 There are sixty queens And eighty concubines, And virgins without number.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Song of Solomon 6:8
Commentary on Song of Solomon 6:4-10
(Read Song of Solomon 6:4-10)
All the real excellence and holiness on earth centre in the church. Christ goes forth subduing his enemies, while his followers gain victories over the world, the flesh, and the devil. He shows the tenderness of a Redeemer, the delight he takes in his redeemed people, and the workings of his own grace in them. True believers alone can possess the beauty of holiness. And when their real character is known, it will be commended. Both the church and believers, at their first conversion, look forth as the morning, their light being small, but increasing. As to their sanctification, they are fair as the moon, deriving all their light, grace, and holiness from Christ; and as to justification, clear as the sun, clothed with Christ, the Sun of righteousness, and fighting the good fight of faith, under the banners of Christ, against all spiritual enemies.
