By night on my bed, 1Pe 1:8Sng 1:7Sng 5:6Isa 26:9Isa 55:6Psa 130:1-2Psa 22:2Sng 5:8
I sought him whom my soul loves.
I sought him, but I didn’t find him.
I will get up now, and go about the city; Eph 5:14Rom 13:111Co 15:34Isa 64:7Jer 5:1Jhn 1:6Luk 14:21-23Mat 26:40-41
in the streets and in the squares I will seek him whom my soul loves.
I sought him, but I didn’t find him.
The watchmen who go about the city found me; Sng 5:7Ezk 33:2-9Isa 21:11-12Isa 21:6-8Jhn 20:15Ezk 3:17Heb 13:17Isa 56:10
“Have you seen him whom my soul loves?”
I had scarcely passed from them, Pro 8:17Mat 7:7Pro 4:13Sng 6:12Sng 8:2Isa 45:19Isa 55:6-7Jer 29:13
when I found him whom my soul loves.
I held him, and would not let him go,
until I had brought him into my mother’s house,
into the room of her who conceived me.
I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, Sng 2:7Sng 8:4Mic 4:8
by the roes, or by the hinds of the field,
that you not stir up nor awaken love,
until it so desires.
Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke, Sng 8:5Rev 12:14Sng 1:13Sng 4:6Deu 8:2Isa 43:19Jer 2:2Jer 31:2
perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,
with all spices of the merchant?
Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage! 1Ki 14:271Ki 9:221Sa 14:521Sa 28:21Sa 8:162Ki 6:17Heb 1:14Sng 1:16
Sixty mighty men are around it,
of the mighty men of Israel.
They all handle the sword, and are expert in war. Psa 45:31Th 5:6-8Eph 6:16-18Isa 27:3Neh 4:21-22Psa 149:5-9Psa 91:5
Every man has his sword on his thigh,
because of fear in the night.
King Solomon made himself a carriage Sng 3:72Sa 23:5Rev 14:6
of the wood of Lebanon.
He made its pillars of silver, 1Ti 3:15-16Eph 3:18-19Psa 87:3Rev 1:5Rev 3:12Rom 5:8Sng 1:5
its bottom of gold, its seat of purple,
the middle of it being paved with love,
from the daughters of Jerusalem.
Go out, you daughters of Zion, and see King Solomon, Isa 62:5Hos 2:19-20Jer 2:2Heb 13:13Mat 12:42Psa 9:14Rev 1:7Zep 3:17
with the crown with which his mother has crowned him,
in the day of his weddings,
in the day of the gladness of his heart.
