Cedar


Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David and cedar trees and carpenters and masons who built David a house. (2 Samuel 5)

When Israel had rest from his surrounding enemies, David told Nathan the prophet that he noticed his cedar house compared to the ark's tent. Nathan told him to do what is in his heart for the LORD is with him but later returned with a prophecy, the Davidic Covenant, that David will not build the LORD a house but the LORD will build David a house. (2 Samuel 7)

The Shulammite and her beloved's couch is green, the beams of their house are cedar, and their rafters are pine. (Song of Solomon 1:16-17)

If the Shulammite's little sister with no breasts is a wall on the day when she is spoken for, she and her beloved will build on her a battlement of silver. But if she is a door, they will enclose her with boards of cedar. (Song of Solomon 8:8-9)
