I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved (works), with fine linen of Egypt. The history (1 Kings 10:28) especially mentions that "Solomon had ... brought out of Egypt ... linen yarn; the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price." "Carved works" means tapestry worked in variegated colours (Maurer). But the Hebrew for "carved (works)" is ordinarily used of carving wood or stones, so that the reference will thus be to the "carved" pillars of the bed. However, as it comes between "tapestry" and "linen," it may refer to the tapestry, metaphorically said to be carved, as resembling carved stones.
