Song of Solomon 3:8

They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh, because of fear in the night.

In these words is a farther description of the guard about Christ's bed: and that

I. By their armor; they "all hold swords."

II. By their skillfulness in using them; being "expert in war."

III. By their readiness to engage upon any occasion; "every man hath his sword upon his thigh."

IV. The reason of this guard, and their being thus armed, and standing in this posture, is also assigned; because "of fear in the night."
