David wore the conquered king's crown (2 Sam 12:30), and the psalm names its source: "thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head" (Ps 21:3). Isaiah makes Yahuah Himself "a crown of glory" to His remnant (Isa 28:5); Zechariah sets crowns on the high priest who will "sit and rule upon his throne" (Zech 6:11-13). The book reads crowns as triumph and eternal life: Smyrna's crown of life fulfilled in the elders' crowns of gold, cast before the throne in courtroom protocol, declaration then submission. The Rider's many diadems are dominions given by the Father, not collected.
