'Cypress trees' in the Bible
So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar and cypress timber he desired,
‘Through your messengers you have taunted and defied the Lord,And have said [boastfully], “With my many chariotsI came up to the heights of the mountains,To the remotest parts of Lebanon;I cut down its tall cedar trees and its choicest cypress trees.I entered its most distant lodging, its densest forest.
“Through your servants you have taunted and defied the Lord,And you have said, ‘With my many chariots I have gone up to the heights of the mountains,To the remotest parts of Lebanon.I cut down its tallest cedars and its choicest cypress trees;And I will go to its remotest height, its most luxuriant and thickest forest.
‘The cedars in the garden of God could not hide or rival it;The cypress trees did not have boughs like it,And the plane trees did not have branches like it.No tree in the garden of God was like it in its beauty.
