The crown in the ancient world came in many
shapes and forms. They were made of very costly material,
symbolizing royalty and sovereignty. When King David conquered
Rabbah, he took the crown of the king of the Ammonites which contained a
talent of gold and precious stones. Solomon said that a virtuous wife was
a crown to her husband.
"In that day shall the LORD of hosts be
for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his
people"
- Isaiah
28-5
"For thou preventest him with the blessings of
goodness: thou settest a crown of pure gold on his
head."
- Psalm
21:3
"And David gathered all the people together,
and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it. And he took their
king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold
with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought
forth the spoil of the city in great abundance."
- 2 Samuel
12:29-30
"And from Jesus Christ, who is the
faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of
the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our
sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his
Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Behold, he
cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which
pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even
so, Amen."
- Revelation
1:5-7
"And he hath on his vesture and on his
thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF
LORDS."
- Revelation
19:16
