cedar
   heb. e'rez, gr. kedros, lat. cedrus, a tree very frequently
   mentioned in scripture. it was stately ezek. 31:3-5,
   long-branched ps. 80:10; 92:12; ezek. 31:6-9, odoriferous
   cant. 4:11; hos. 14:6, durable, and therefore much used for
   boards, pillars, and ceilings 1 kings 6:9, 10; 7:2; jer.
   22:14, for masts ezek. 27:5, and for carved images isa.
   44:14.
   
     it grew very abundantly in palestine, and particularly on
   lebanon, of which it was "the glory" isa. 35:2; 60:13. hiram
   supplied solomon with cedar trees from lebanon for various
   purposes connected with the construction of the temple and the
   king's palace 2 sam. 5:11; 7:2, 7; 1 kings 5:6, 8,10; 6:9, 10,
   15, 16, 18, 20; 7:2, 3, 7, 11, 12; 9:11, etc.. cedars were used

     of the ancient cedars of lebanon there remain now only some
   seven or eight. they are not standing together. but beside them
   there are found between three hundred and four hundred of

   scriptures. "the mighty conquerors of olden days, the despots of
   assyria and the pharaohs of egypt, the proud and idolatrous
   monarchs of judah, the hebrew commonwealth itself, the war-like
   ammonites of patriarchal times, and the moral majesty of the
   messianic age, are all compared to the towering cedar, in its
   royal loftiness and supremacy isa. 2:13; ezek. 17:3, 22, 23,
