    King Solomon built his own royal carriage
        from the trees of Lebanon.
10     He had its posts fashioned from silver,
        its back made of gold,
        its seat covered with royal purple,
        its interior decorated with love by the young women of Jerusalem.

        and see King Solomon
    Wearing the crown with which his mother has crowned him on his wedding day,
        on the day his heart overflows with joy.
