5. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
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
   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 (Isa. 2:13; Ezek. 17:3, 22, 23,
   31:3-9; Amos 2:9; Zech. 11:1, 2; Job 40:17; Ps. 29:5; 80:10;
   92:12, etc).", Groser's Scrip. Nat. Hist. (See BOX-TREE
   �T0000636.)
