Today: Lebanon (Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ranges)
A mountain range north of Israel, famous for its cedars; today it gives its name to the country of Lebanon.
Solomon asked for cedar wood from Lebanon to build the temple (1 Kgs 5:6). The Psalms compare the righteous to its cedars (Ps 92:12).
14so that no trees by the waters will rise high in their stature, nor set their top among the thick foliage, nor stand in their height all who drink water; for all of them are given over to death, to the land below, in the midst of the sons of man, with those who go down to the pit.’

16At the sound of its fall I made nations quake, when I brought it down to Sheol with those who go down to the pit; and they were comforted in the land below, all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all who drink water.
