Song of Solomon 3:6-11

Expanded Bible

⁶ ·Who [or What] is this coming out of the ·desert [wilderness]
    like a ·cloud [pillar] of smoke?
·Who is this that smells like [^L…perfumed with] myrrh, ·incense [frankincense],
    and ·other spices [^Lfrom all the scented powders of the trader]?
⁷ Look, it’s Solomon’s ·couch [palanquin; litter; ^Ca bed carried by servants]
    with sixty soldiers around it,
    the ·finest soldiers [heroes; mighty men] of Israel.
⁸ These soldiers all carry swords
    and have been trained in war.
Every man wears a sword at his ·side [thigh]
    and is ready for the dangers of the night.
⁹ King Solomon had a ·couch [litter; v. 7] made for himself
    of wood from Lebanon.
¹⁰ He made its posts of silver
    and its ·braces [canopy] of gold.
The seat was covered with purple [^Cthe color of royalty] cloth
    that the ·women [^Ldaughters] of Jerusalem [1:5] ·wove [inlaid its interior] with love.
¹¹ ·Women [^LDaughters] of ·Jerusalem [^LZion; 1:5], go out and see King Solomon.
    He is wearing the crown his mother put on his head
on his wedding day,
    when his heart was happy!
