zenith Crown (
1 .)
Denotes the plate of gold in the front of the high priest '
s mitre (
Ex .
29 :
6 ;
39 :
30 ).
The same Hebrew word so rendered (
ne '
zer )
denotes the diadem worn by Saul in battle (
2 Sam .
1 :

and also that which was used at the coronation of Joash (
2 Kings 11 :
12 ).
(

The more general name in Hebrew for a crown is _ '
atarah_ ,
meaning a "
circlet ."
This is used of crowns and head ornaments of divers kinds ,
including royal crowns .
Such was the crown taken from the king of Ammon by David (
2 Sam .
12 :
30 ).
The crown worn by the Assyrian kings was a high mitre ,
sometimes adorned with flowers .
There are sculptures also representing the crowns worn by the early Egyptian and Persian kings .
Sometimes a diadem surrounded the royal head -
dress of two or three fillets .
This probably signified that the wearer had dominion over two or three countries .
In Rev .
12 :
3 ;
13 :
1 ,
we read of "
many crowns ,"
a token of extended dominion .
(

The ancient Persian crown (
Esther 1 :
11 ;
2 :
17 ;
6 :
8 )
was called _kether_ ;
i .
e ., "
a chaplet ,"
a high cap or tiara .
Crowns were worn sometimes to represent honour and power (
Ezek .
23 :
42 ).
They were worn at marriages (
Cant .
3 :
11 ;
Isa .
61 :
10 ,
"
ornaments ;"
R .
V ., "
a garland "),
and at feasts and public festivals .
The crown was among the Romans and Greeks a symbol of victory and reward .
The crown or wreath worn by the victors in the Olympic games was made of leaves of the wild olive ;
in the Pythian games ,
of laurel ;
in the Nemean games ,
of parsley ;
and in the Isthmian games ,
of the pine .
The Romans bestowed the "
civic crown "
on him who saved the life of a citizen .
It was made of the leaves of the oak .
In opposition to all these fading crowns the apostles speak of the incorruptible crown ,
the crown of life (
James 1 :
12 ;
Rev .
2 :
10 ) "
that fadeth not away " (
1 Pet .
5 :
4 ,
Gr .
amarantinos ;
comp .
1 :
4 ).
Probably the word "
amaranth "
was applied to flowers we call "
everlasting ,"
the "
immortal amaranth ."
