This palanquin[a] King Solomon made for himself
    out of wood from Lebanon.
10 Its posts he made of silver.
Its base he made of gold.
Its seat was upholstered with purple.
Its interior was inlaid with love[b]
    by the daughters of Jerusalem.

and look at King Solomon wearing the crown,
the crown with which his mother crowned him
    on the day of his wedding,
    on the day his heart rejoiced.
