A Magnificent Royal Carriage
Scholars agree that the verse describes a magnificent royal carriage, or palanquin, built by King Solomon. Crafted from the prized wood of Lebanon, this vehicle was designed for the glorious procession of his bride. The specific Hebrew word for 'palanquin' is unique to this verse, but its meaning as a stately, portable litter is clear from the context.
