It is used in the context of kingship and is often associated with the dignity and power bestowed upon a ruler. In the biblical narrative, a crown signifies the divine appointment and the responsibility of leadership.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, crowns were significant symbols of power and legitimacy. They were often made of precious metals and adorned with jewels, representing the wealth and status of the wearer.
