a chariot.
or, a bed.{Appiryon,} rendered by Montanus, {sponsarum ithalamum,} "a nuptial bed;" but probably it denotes a kind of palanquin, perhaps synonymous with the Arabic {farfar,} a species of vehicle for women.
Song of Sol. 3:7• 7Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel. (Song of Sol. 3:7)
;
2 Sam. 23:5• 5Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow. (2 Sam. 23:5)
;
Rev. 14:6• 6And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, (Rev. 14:6)
• There He maintains her rest. (“Song of Solomon 3” by J.N. Darby)
• {v.9-10} The introduction of the valiant men is followed by the description of the palanquin, or litter, which they are called to defend. In the details of the palanquin do we not see set forth great truths as to the Person of Christ - the support of our souls and the foundations of our faith? The cedar wood speaking of His perfect humanity, fragrant and incorruptible; the pillars of silver telling of His redeeming power; the gold, of His divine righteousness; the purple, of His royalty; and the pavement of love, of divine love, the foundation of all. (“Canticle 3: The Communion of Love” by H. Smith)
• The "bed" or "chariot" is the royal carriage. But mark, especially, it is the King's own workmanship. "King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon." Christ provides everything, and prepares everything for His people. (“Song of Solomon 3” by A. Miller)
• He leaves nothing for us to do, save to enter into that which He has finished. The cedar wood is typical of fragrance and incorruptibility. (“Song of Solomon 3” by A. Miller)
