Song of Solomon 3:8-10

The Voice

⁸     All armed swordsmen,
        battle-hardened heroes, experts at war,
    Marching with swords at their sides,
        ready to guard the king from the terrors of the night.
⁹     King Solomon built his own royal carriage
        from the trees of Lebanon.
¹⁰     He had its posts fashioned from silver,
        its back made of gold,
        its seat covered with royal purple,
        its interior decorated with love by the young women of Jerusalem.
