odoriferous (

and therefore much used for boards ,

and ceilings (

for masts (

and for carved images (

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 (

Cedars were used also in the building of the second temple under Zerubbabel (
Ezra 3 :
7 ).
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 younger growth .
They stand in an amphitheatre fronting the west ,
about 6 ,
400 feet above the level of the sea .
The cedar is often figuratively alluded to in the sacred 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 (
