Song of Solomon 3:6-8

Amplified Bible

Solomon’s Wedding Day

(The Shulammite Bride)

⁶
“What is this coming up from the wilderness
Like [stately] pillars of smoke
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
With all the fragrant powders of the merchant?”

(The Chorus)

⁷
“Behold, it is the couch (^[a]palanquin) of Solomon;
Sixty mighty men around it,
Of the mighty men of Israel.
⁸
“All of them handle the sword,
All expert in war;
Each man has his sword at his thigh,
Guarding against the terrors of the night.
