Your neck is like the tower of David
"Your neck is long and beautiful like the tower that David built". No one knows if this was a real tower. A tower is a tall, slender building, and saying that David built it implies that it was beautiful.
built in rows of stone
"that has many rows of stone". Women had necklaces that covered their entire necks with rows of decorations. The man compares these rows of decorations with the rows of stone on the tower.
with a thousand shields
The man compares the decorations of the woman's necklace with shields hanging on the tower. The necklace probably went around her neck many times.
