to crown, adorn with a crown; of God crowning with glory, honor, or lovingkindness
A denominative verb from atarah ('crown'), used in the Piel to mean 'to crown' or 'to encircle with honor.' Its most celebrated use is Psalm 8:5, where God crowns humanity with glory and majesty. Psalm 103:4 describes God crowning the faithful with lovingkindness and compassion, while Psalm 65:11 pictures the year crowned with divine goodness. Song of Solomon 3:11 recalls Solomon's mother crowning him on his wedding day. Isaiah 23:8 applies the image to Tyre as a bestower of crowns.
Senses
1. sense 1 — To crown, to bestow a crown or wreath upon someone — whether literally, as Solomon's mother crowned him (Song 3:11), or figuratively of God adorning with glory and honor (Ps 8:5), lovingkindness and compassion (Ps 103:4), or the bounty of a good year (Ps 65:11). French 'couronner' and Spanish 'coronar/coronas' mirror the consistent coronation imagery. Isaiah 23:8 extends the metaphor to Tyre as one who bestows crowns, signifying her power to elevate vassal rulers. 5×
