Song of Solomon 3:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ N What is this^(A) coming up from the wilderness
like columns of smoke,
scented with myrrh and frankincense^(B)
from every fragrant powder of the merchant?
⁷ It is Solomon’s royal litter^[a]
surrounded by 60 warriors
from the mighty of Israel.
⁸ All of them are skilled with swords
and trained in warfare.
Each has his sword at his side^(C)
to guard against the terror of the night.^(D)
