Song of Songs 3:6-11

6Who is this who is coming from the desert? It seems that smoke is rising into the air! There is a lovely smell of myrrh and incense. It is the smell of all the spices that a trader sells.

7Look! They are carrying King Solomon on a throne! 60 soldiers are travelling with it. They are Israel's bravest soldiers.

8All of them have swords. They all know how to fight well. Their swords are ready for them to use. They are ready for any danger that comes in the night.

9King Solomon made the throne for himself. He used wood from Lebanon to make it.

10He used silver to make the posts for it. He used gold to make its back. Its seat has valuable purple cloth to cover it. The young women of Jerusalem made it beautiful inside, to show their love.

11Young women of Zion, come out to see King Solomon! He is wearing his crown. His mother put the crown on him on his wedding day. It was the happiest day of his life!
