Lebanon
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).
The context
15Thus says Adonai YHWH: ‘On the day it went down to Sheol I caused mourning; I covered the deep over it, and I held back its streams, and the many waters were restrained; and I put Lebanon in mourning for it, and all the trees of the field fainted for it.
