Song of Solomon 3:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ What do we see approaching
from the desert
    like a cloud of smoke?
With it comes the sweet smell
of spices, including myrrh
    and frankincense.
⁷ It is King Solomon
    carried on a throne,
surrounded by sixty
    of Israel's best soldiers.
⁸ Each of them wears a sword.
They are experts at fighting,
    even in the dark.
