The daughters saw her, and blessed her; _yea_, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. ^9 10 ¶ Who _is_ she _that_ looks forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, _and_ terrible as _an_ _army_ with banners? ^10 11 I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, _and_ to see whether the vine flourished, _and_ the pomegranates budded. ^11 12 Or ever I was aware, my soul made me _like_ the chariots of Amminadib. ^12 13 Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies. ^13
