In context

4It was as a little while after I parted from them, That I found him whom my soul loves: I held him, and did not let him go, Until I brought him into my mother’s house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me.

5I have charged you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the powers and by the virtues of the field, That ye rouse not nor awake my love, until he please.

— Song of Solomon 3:6 —

7Behold Solomon’s bed; Sixty mighty men of the mighty ones of Israel are round about it.

8They all hold a sword, Being expert in war: Every man has his sword upon his thigh Because of fear by night.
