← Song of Solomon 6:8	Song of Solomon 6:9 (KJV)	Song of Solomon 6:10 →
There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.	My dove, my undefiled is [but] one; she [is] the [only] one of her mother, she [is] the choice [one] of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; [yea], the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.	Who [is] she [that] looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, [and] terrible as [an army] with banners?
