Song of Solomon 3:2-8

²I will arise now said I, and go about the city; In the streets and the broad ways will I seek him whom my soul loveth; I sought him, but found him not.

³The watchmen who go about the city found me; “Have you seen said I him whom my soul loveth?”

⁴I had but just passed them, When I found him whom my soul loveth; I held him, and would not let him go, Till I had brought him into my mother's house, Into the apartment of her that bore me.

⁵Lov. I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem! By the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till she please.

⁶Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the powders of the merchant?

⁷Behold, the carriage of Solomon! Threescore valiant men are around it, Of the valiant men of Israel.

⁸They all wear swords, Being skilled in war. Every one hath his sword girt upon his thigh, On account of danger in the night.
