Song of Solomon 1:16

our bedis green R.V. rightly, our couch. She recalls the green sward of the meadows, or possibly some leafy arbour where she had reclined with her beloved. Siegfried would understand the words of the marriage bed, sprinkled with sweet smelling substances; but that is incompatible with the following verse, and is moreover not supported by Psalms 92:10, where the word translated -green" here is rendered by -fresh," for in all probability it ought to be translated -green" there also, since the best kind of olive oil is green. Cp. Riehm's Hdwb. 11. p. 1123.
