8“All of them are wielders of the sword,
         Expert in war;
         Each man has his sword at his side,
         Guarding against the terrors of the night.

9“King Solomon has made for himself a sedan chair
         From the timber of Lebanon.

10“He made its posts of silver,
         Its back of gold
         And its seat of purple fabric,
         With its interior lovingly fitted out
         By the daughters of Jerusalem.

11“Go forth, O daughters of Zion,
         And gaze on King Solomon with the crown
         With which his mother has crowned him
         On the day of his wedding,
         And on the day of his gladness of heart.”
