      Crown

      1. Denotes the plate of gold in the front of the high priest's mitre
        [Ex 29:6 39:30] The same Hebrew word so rendered (ne'zer)
        denotes the diadem worn by Saul in battle [2Sa 1:10] and also
        that which was used at the coronation of Joash [2Ki 11:12]
      2. The more general name in Hebrew for a crown is _'atarah_, meaning a "circlet." This is used of crowns and head ornaments of divers kinds, including royal crowns. Such was the crown taken from the king of
        Ammon by David [2Sa 12:30] The crown worn by the Assyrian kings was a high mitre, sometimes adorned with flowers. There are sculptures also representing the crowns worn by the early Egyptian and Persian kings. Sometimes a diadem surrounded the royal head-dress of two or three
        fillets. This probably signified that the wearer had dominion over
        two or three countries. In [Re 12:3 13:1] we read of "many crowns,"
        a token of extended dominion.
      3. The ancient Persian crown [Es 1:11 2:17 6:8] was called _kether_; i.e.,
        "a chaplet," a high cap or tiara. Crowns were worn sometimes to represent honour and power [Eze 23:42] They were worn at marriages [So 3:11 Isa 61:10] "ornaments;" and at feasts and public festivals. The crown was
        among the Romans and Greeks a symbol of victory and reward.
        The crown or wreath worn by the victors in the Olympic games was made of leaves of the wild olive; in the Pythian games, of laurel; in the
        Nemean games, of parsley; and in the Isthmian games, of the pine. The Romans bestowed the "civic crown" on him who saved the life of a citizen.
        It was made of the leaves of the oak. In opposition to all these fading crowns the apostles speak of the incorruptible crown, the crown of life [Jas 1:12 Re 2:10] "that fadeth not away" [1Pe 5:4] Gr. amarantinos; comp. [1Pe 1:4]. Probably the word "amaranth" was applied to flowers we call "everlasting," the "immortal amaranth."

      Diadem

        The tiara of a king [Eze 21:26 Isa 28:5 62:3] the turban [Job 29:14]
        In the New Testament a careful distinction is drawn between the
        diadem as a badge of royalty [Re 12:3 13:1 19:12] and the crown
        as a mark of distinction in private life. It is not known what the
        ancient Jewish "diadem" was. It was the mark of Oriental sovereigns.
