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