Song of Solomon 3:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ What is this coming up from the desert
    like a column of smoke,
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense
    from all the fragrant powders of the merchant?
⁷ Look! It is Solomon’s portable couch!^[a]
    Sixty mighty men surround it,^[b]
        the mighty men of Israel.
⁸ All of them wield swords;^[c]
    they are trained in warfare,^[d]
each with his sword at his thigh
    to guard against terror^[e] in the night.
