Song of Songs 3:6-11

6“1 2What is this coming up from the wilderness Like 3columns of smoke, Perfumed with 4myrrh and 5frankincense, With all the scented powders of the merchant?7Behold, it is 6the traveling couch of Solomon; Sixty warriors around it, Of the warriors 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 11sedan chair From the timber of Lebanon.10He made its posts of silver, Its 12back of gold And its seat of purple fabric, With its interior lovingly inlaid By the 13daughters of Jerusalem.11Go out, you 14daughters of Zion, And look at King Solomon with the 15crown With which his mother has crowned him On the 16day of his wedding, And on the day of the joy of his heart.”
