Song of Solomon 1:9 Context
7Tell me, (O thou whom my soule loueth) where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flocke to rest at noone: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flockes of thy companions? 8¶ If thou know not (O thou fairest among women) goe thy way forth by the footsteps of the flocke, and feede thy kiddes beside the shepheards tents. 9I haue compared thee, O my loue, to a company of horses in Pharaohs chariots. 10Thy cheekes are comely with rowes of iewels, thy necke with chaines of golde. 11Wee will make thee borders of golde, with studdes of siluer.

Wesley's Notes for Song of Solomon 1:9
1:9 Compared thee - For strength and courage, to overcome all thine enemies. For horses are famous for that property, and the strength of the battle was then thought to consist much in horses, and chariots, especially in a company or multitude of them. And the church in this book is represented not only as fair and beautiful, but also as terrible to her enemies.
