"What is this coming up from the wilderness like columns of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,With all the fragrant powders of a merchant?" - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

"Look! It is the couch belonging to Solʹo·mon. Sixty mighty men surround it, Of the mighty men of Israel, All of them armed with a sword, All trained in warfare, Each with his sword at his side To guard against the terrors of the night. It is the royal litter of King Solomon That he made for himself from the trees of Lebanon. Its pillars he made of silver, Its supports of gold. Its seat is of purple wool; Its interior was lovingly decorated By the daughters of Jerusalem.”
" - Song of Solomon 3:6-11

CHASTITY

At one point he mused that the Shulammite was like “a garden barred in.” (Song of Solomon 4:12) In ancient Israel, beautiful gardens contained a delightful variety of vegetables, fragrant flowers, and stately trees. Such gardens were typically enclosed by a hedge or a wall and could be entered only through a locked gate. (Isaiah 5:5) To the shepherd, the Shulammite’s moral purity and loveliness were like such a garden of rare beauty. She was completely chaste. Her tender p. 12affections would be available only to her future husband. 6 w00 11/1 pp. 7-12 A Godly View of Moral Cleanness
