Today's verse, from Psalms, praises the king of Israel and prays that he
should conquer Israel’s enemies. God places a gold crown on his head as a symbol
of His protection and blessing. The first king of Israel, Saul, came from the
tribe of Benjamin. The Prophet Samuel anoints him in the hills of Samaria and
the nation rallies behind him and crowns him king. In 1981, a few families
established a new community in the Samarian hills in the land of the tribe of
Benjamin. They called the village 'Ateret', the Hebrew word used in this verse
for 'crown'. Over the years, the settlement has been blessed with growth and now
boasts hundreds of people, synthesizing working the land with a commitment to
God and the nation.
