What 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?
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.

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 love. 1
Daughters of Jerusalem,
11
come out.
Look, O daughters of Zion,
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.
