Song of Solomon 3:8 in Context — Song of Solomon 3

6 Quem é esta, que sobe do deserto como colunas de fumaça, perfumada com mirra, incenso, e com todo tipo de pó aromático de mercador?

7 Eis a cama móvel de Salomão! Sessenta guerreiros estão ao redor dela, dentre os guerreiros de Israel;

8 Todos eles portando espadas, habilidosos na guerra; cada um com sua espada à cintura, para [o caso de haver] um ataque repentino de noite.

9 O rei Salomão fez para si uma liteira de madeira do Líbano.

10 Suas colunas ele fez de prata, seu assoalho de ouro, seu assento de púrpura; por dentro coberta com [a obra do] amor das filhas de Jerusalém.
