Song of Songs 3:6-11
Legacy Standard Bible
Solomon Arrives on His Wedding Day
6 “[a](A)Who is this coming up from the wilderness
Like (B)columns of smoke,
As rising incense of (C)myrrh and (D)frankincense,
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 those who seize the sword,
(E)Learned in war;
Each man has his (F)sword at his side,
Guarding against the [b](G)dreadful things 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 [c]back of gold
And its seat of purple fabric,
With its interior inlaid with love
By the (H)daughters of Jerusalem.
11 Go forth and see, O (I)daughters of Zion,
King Solomon with the [d]crown
With which his mother has crowned him
On the (J)day of his wedding,
And on the day of his gladness of heart.”

Solomon’s Wedding Day
6 “[a][b](A)What is this coming up from the wilderness
Like (B)columns of smoke,
Perfumed with (C)myrrh and (D)frankincense,
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,
(E)Expert in war;
Each man has his (F)sword at his side,
Guarding against the [c](G)terrors 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 [d]back of gold
And its seat of purple fabric,
With its interior lovingly fitted out
By the (H)daughters of Jerusalem.
11 “Go forth, O (I)daughters of Zion,
And gaze on King Solomon with the [e]crown
With which his mother has crowned him
On the (J)day of his wedding,
And on the day of his gladness of heart.”
