Song of Solomon 3:7-9

The Voice

⁷     Look, it is Solomon’s litter,
        surrounded by 60 strong men,
        some of the very best soldiers in Israel,
⁸     All armed swordsmen,
        battle-hardened heroes, experts at war,
    Marching with swords at their sides,
        ready to guard the king from the terrors of the night.
⁹     King Solomon built his own royal carriage
        from the trees of Lebanon.
