תהלים, פרק מ״ה, פסוק ט״ז

The climax of the royal celebration unfolds as the festive entourage finally reaches the palace doors. The new queen, surrounded by her maidens and companions, is guided in a grand wedding procession [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. This joyous march is filled with the sound of musical instruments and every kind of celebration [מלבי״ם]. The young women are led from their private quarters directly into the main hall where the king sits, arriving with the intention of remaining in his royal home [רד״ק, מלבי״ם] and finding shelter under his protection [מאירי].

Beyond the literal royal wedding, this grand procession serves as an allegory for the Messianic era. In this deeper layer of meaning, the king represents either David or the Messianic king [אבן עזרא], while the queen symbolizes the congregation of Israel. The young maidens and princesses who accompany her represent the various nations of the world [רד״ק]. During this future time, the nations will approach the Messiah willingly and with great joy, rather than through force or coercion [אבן עזרא]. Just as young maidens come to a husband, the nations of the world, who previously lived without the Torah, will willingly embrace the faith of Israel and submit to the leadership of the Messianic king [רד״ק].
