6nWho is othis that cometh out of the wilderness like ppillars of smoke,
Perfumed with qmyrrh and frankincense,
With all powders of the rmerchant?
7Behold his bed, which is Solomon’s;
sThreescore valiant men are about it,
Of the valiant of Israel.
8They all hold swords, being expert in war:
Every man hath this sword upon his thigh ubecause of fear ain the night.
9King Solomon made himself ||a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
10He made the pillars thereof of silver,
The bottom thereof of gold,
The covering of it of purple,
The midst thereof being paved with love, for wthe daughters of Jerusalem.
11Go forth, O ye daughters of xZion, and behold king Solomon
With the crown wherewith his mother crowned him
yIn the day of his espousals,
And yin the day of the gladness of his heart.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
What is that coming up from the wilderness
like columns of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all the fragrant powders of a merchant?
Behold, it is the litter of Solomon!
Around it are sixty mighty men,
some of the mighty men of Israel,
all of them wearing swords
and expert in war,
each with his sword at his thigh,
against terror by night.
King Solomon made himself a carriage
from the wood of Lebanon.
He made its posts of silver,
its back of gold, its seat of purple;
its interior was inlaid with love
by the daughters of Jerusalem.
Go out, O daughters of Zion,
and look upon King Solomon,
with the crown with which his mother crowned him
on the day of his wedding,
on the day of the gladness of his heart.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Who is this coming up from the wilderness
like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and incense
made from all the spices of the merchant?
Look! It is Solomon’s carriage,
escorted by sixty warriors,
the noblest of Israel,
all of them wearing the sword,
all experienced in battle,
each with his sword at his side,
prepared for the terrors of the night.
King Solomon made for himself the carriage;
he made it of wood from Lebanon.
Its posts he made of silver,
its base of gold.
Its seat was upholstered with purple,
its interior inlaid with love.
Daughters of Jerusalem, come out,
and look, you daughters of Zion.
Look on King Solomon wearing a crown,
the crown with which his mother crowned him
on the day of his wedding,
the day his heart rejoiced.

from all the fragrant powders of the merchant?

at the crown with which his mother crowned him
on the day of his wedding,
