Lebanon

The cedars — timber of Solomon's temple.

Why it matters

Hiram of Tyre shipped Lebanon's cedars to Jerusalem for the house of the LORD. Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon and healed the Syrophoenician woman's daughter. The Bible names Lebanon more than seventy times — usually with awe.

"The righteous shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon." — Psalm 92:12

Cedars of Lebanon

1 Kings 5 — the wood of the temple

The ancient grove that timbered Solomon's Temple and David's palace. A remnant of thousand-year-old cedars still stands on the flanks of Mount Makmel, guarded by monks and mountain villages.
