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.”

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Young Man and His Party Approach
6 Who is that coming up from the wilderness
like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all the fragrant powders of the merchant?(A)
7 Look, it is the litter of Solomon!
Around it are sixty mighty men
of the mighty men of Israel,
8 all equipped with swords
and expert in war,
each with his sword at his thigh
because of alarms by night.(B)
9 King Solomon made himself a palanquin
from the wood of Lebanon.
10 He made its posts of silver,
its back of gold, its seat of purple;
its interior was inlaid with stone.
Daughters[a] of Jerusalem,(C)
11 come out and look[b]
at King Solomon,
at the crown with which his mother crowned him
on the day of his wedding,
on the day of the gladness of his heart.
