The Cedar Tree (Eng) or Erez (Heb) or Devadaru (Mal) in Mount Herzl, Jerusalem.
Any one with some basic Biblical knowledge cannot forget the cedar tree of Lebanon. Although cedar is mentioned frequently in Bible, the most famous passages are definitely the ones which describe how King Solomon built the Temple in Jerusalem with cedar woods and where King David and Solomon built their palaces with cedar (2 Sam 5:11; 1 Ki 5:6-10; 1 Ki 7:2; 10:17; 2 Ch 9:16). The cedars are tall "whose height was like the height of the cedars"(Amos 2:9; 2 Ki 19:23); majestic (2 Ki 14:9), and excellent (Song 5:15). Here are links to some nice articles on cedar of Bible.
