PALANQUIN
A palanquin is a carried litter or ceremonial couch. In Song of Solomon 3:9 it is a proposed translation of a rare word otherwise rendered “chariot” or “car of state,” so the exact object is uncertain.
Biblical Usage
The term occurs in Song of Solomon 3:9, where it describes the object made by King Solomon. The passage does not establish the object’s exact form.
