Song of Solomon 1:9-14
Authorized (King James) Version
9 I have compared thee, O my love,
to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots.
10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels,
thy neck with chains of gold.
11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
12 While the king sitteth at his table,
my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me;
he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
14 My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of En-gedi.
Song of Solomon 1:9-14

(B)To my filly among Pharaoh’s chariots.
10 (C)Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments,
Your neck with chains of gold.
The Daughters of Jerusalem
11 We will make [a]you ornaments of gold
With studs of silver.
The Shulamite
12 While the king is at his table,
My [b]spikenard sends forth its fragrance.
13 A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me,
That lies all night between my breasts.
14 My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms
In the vineyards of En Gedi.
