Olive Tree

And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.   Deuteronomy 6:11, 12 

A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.   Deuteronomy 8:8, 9 

When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.   Deuteronomy 24:20

And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.   Judges 9:8-10

So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.   1 Kings 6:31-33 

And over the olive trees and the sycamore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash:

And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David's.   1 Chronicles 27:28-31

And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
