6. Who is this coming out of the desertlike a cloud of smoke?Who is this that smells like myrrh, incense,and other spices?
7. Look, it’s Solomon’s couchwith sixty soldiers around it,the finest soldiers of Israel.
8. These soldiers all carry swordsand have been trained in war.Every man wears a sword at his sideand is ready for the dangers of the night.
9. King Solomon had a couch made for himselfof wood from Lebanon.
10. He made its posts of silverand its braces of gold.The seat was covered with purple cloththat the women of Jerusalem wove with love.
11. Women of Jerusalem, go out and see King Solomon.He is wearing the crown his mother put on his headon his wedding day,when his heart was happy!
