Song of Songs 3:7-9
Evangelical Heritage Version

7 Look! It’s Solomon’s own carriage.[a]
Sixty warriors surround it,
the most heroic of Israel,
8 all of them wearing a sword,
all trained for battle,
each man with his sword at his side,
ready for the terrors of the night.

9 This palanquin[b] King Solomon made for himself
    out of wood from Lebanon.
