Song of Solomon 3:11

9 King Solomon has made his carriage out of the timber of Lebanon.

10 He has made its posts of silver, its base of gold, its seat of purple fabric. Its interior is inlaid with love by the daughters of Jerusalem.

Come out, O daughters of Zion, and gaze at King Solomon, wearing the crown his mother bestowed on the day of his wedding— the day of his heart’s rejoicing.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
