'Chief' in the Bible

As the tower of David is thy neck, built for an armoury, The chief of the shields are hung on it, All shields of the mighty.

Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:

(The Shulammite Bride)“My beloved is exquisitely handsome and ruddy,Outstanding among ten thousand.

(The Shulammite Bride)“Hurry, my beloved and come quickly,Like a gazelle or a young stag [taking me home]On the mountains of spices.”
