And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether, / And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land, / And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant? / Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.

The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.

They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
