bbbbbbb, you are going to have to explain where you see in verses 10-15 that it is the queen who is being married to Solomon?
If this is truly a description of Solomon in his kingly glory, please let's not forget that King Solomon was not married to the queen. The woman who sat at his right hand as queen is his mother. And as Solomon is indeed a typology of Christ ("son of David, the annointed one") and Christ is the true king this passage foreshadows, there is nothing "bizarre" when Mary comes into the picture.
And in the kingship of Christ there will be no incestuous relationships for marriage will have ceased to be. The marriage bride is a typology of the church.
Here are verses 8 -17:
Psa 45:8 All Your garments are {fragrant with} myrrh and aloes {and} cassia; Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You glad.
9 Kings' daughters are among Your noble ladies; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
10 Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father's
11 Then the King will desire your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.
12 The daughter of Tyre {will come} with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor.
13 The King's daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold.
14 She will be led to the King in embroidered work; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to
15 They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing; They will enter into the King's palace.
16 In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth.
17 I will cause Your name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.
In order of appearance we have a number of individuals as follow:
Kings' daughters (among the king's noble ladies) (verse 9a)
The queen (verse 9b)
"daughter" and her people and her father's people (verses 10,11)
the daughter of Tyre (verse 12)
the King's daughter and her companions, the virgins (verses 13, 14)
your fathers and your sons (verse 16)
You (verse 17)
I would like to offer a few comments concerning this large cast of characters which are described so briefly in such a short span of verses. My comments are as follow:
Kings' daughters (among the king's noble ladies) - these are not the daughters of the king (i.e. the king's daughters) but the daughters of several kings. In light of what is known about Solomon's marital relations these are, quite possibly, wives which he married as a political means of ensuring peace and stability with other kings.
If one wishes to view Solomon prophetically as Jesus Christ, then this verse would case him in the light of a polygamist. Although this might please Mormons, it has no scriptural basis whatsoever. Thus, I submit that this verse should not be interpreted in the same prophetic light as verses 6 and 7.
The queen. In light of the fact that the Bible refers to the wife of a king as being his queen (e.g. Jezebel and Ahab) and his mother as being the queen mother (e.h. Athaliah) there is a sound biblical basis for understanding this person to be the queen (i.e. the principal wife) of King Solomon. Neither Saul nor David, who preceded Solomon on the throne of Israel even had their mothers mentioned at all. We do know about their marital relations, however.
If one chooses to interpret this verse as prophetically referring to Mary then the first half of the verse needs also be interpreted, as well. As seen above, that is exceedingly difficult, to say the least. We also need some basis for determining that this queen represents the king's mother and not his wife. To gain that understanding one must go outside of scripture and bring in cultural references not necessarily Jewish in origin. This, indeed, is slippery ground.
"daughter" and her people and her father's people. This individual appears to be the wife of King Solomon. Note that her people and her father's people are not those of the king. Thus, she is not the daughter of King Solomon nor of anyone in his household. Also note that the king will desire her beauty. If this was the king's mother, that would imply an incestuous relationship. However, the most logical person that meets this description is the king's wife. It is also logical that she is the selfsame person as the queen immediately mentioned prior to this verse.
If one wishes to find a prophetic interpretation using Jesus Christ as the king, then this would mean that the daughter is -
a. Begotton of some other father and having kinsfolk unrelated to the king.
b. Of a beauty that would attract the Lord's attention.
It might be possible to squeeze the church (the bride of Christ) through the eye of this interpretive needle, but it assuredly is impossible to force this interpretation on Mary.
the daughter of Tyre. This appears to be a different daughter than that mentioned in the previous verse. She may have come to pay tribute to King Solomon as did the Queen of Sheba or she may have come to be a bride of Solomon. Either is a s possibility, although the former is more likely. It is not like that she is among the aforementioned kings' daughters, although she is a king's daughter.
If one attempts a prophetic interpretation of this person one does have a quandary. She hardly fits the model of Mary or even of the Church. At best, this is a speed bump for a tight interpretive model and, at worst, it reduces any attempt to relate these various ladies to New Testament persons absurd.
the King's daughter and her companions, the virgins. Here we have a relatively simple pair of verses. We have the daughter of the king (Solomon) and her court (virgins).
If one pursues a prophetic interpretation with these verses one can find ample fodder. One obstacle is the fact that Jesus Christ has no spiritual daughter - a bride, yes, but no daughter. That eliminates both Mary and the Church entirely, leaving nothing other than the virgins. One can latch onto the virginity of Mary and run with that but, alas, she was not virgins, but a virgin. One could also run with the virgins in the parable of the ten virgins but, alas, they were awaiting the Bridegroom (Christ) coming for his Bride, not His daughter.
your fathers and your sons. This may refer to the virgins of the daughter's court or it may refer to the kings' daughters of verse 9a. The latter is more likely as the virgins are hardly likely to have had sons. A clear case can be made that these are wives of Solomon who, having given up their fathers (and their households) will be blessed through their sons.
A prophetic interpretation is virtually impossible here unless one reverts to a polygamous model of Christ.
You. There is virtually no doubt that Solomon is described here. Prophetically one can easily apply this to Jesus Christ without undue difficulty.
I decided just for fun to see what that verse looks like in the greek.
