Song of Songs 3:6-11

6“1 2 3What is this coming up from the wilderness Like 4columns of smoke, Perfumed with 5myrrh and 6frankincense, With all scented powders of the merchant?7Behold, it is the traveling couch of Solomon; Sixty mighty men around it, Of the mighty men of Israel.8All of them are wielders of the sword, 7Expert in war; Each man has his 8sword at his side, Guarding against the 9 10terrors of the night.9King Solomon has made for himself a sedan chair From the timber of Lebanon.10He made its posts of silver, Its 11back of gold And its seat of purple fabric, With its interior lovingly fitted out By the 12daughters of Jerusalem.11Go forth, O 13daughters of Zion, And gaze on King Solomon with the 14crown With which his mother has crowned him On the 15day of his wedding, And on the day of his gladness of heart.”
