2 Samuel 5:8

Study

       

8 And David said on that day, Whoever smites the Jebusites and gets up to the watercourse, and the lame and the blind hated of David's soul ...! Therefore they say, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.

Commentarius

 

Lord (as in ruler or master)

  
The Collapse of the Earl of Chatham in the House of Lords, by John Singleton Copley

Characters in the Bible will often address others using the term “my lord,” and it seems to be no more than an expression of respect. The name “the Lord” refers to the Divine Good, and that when the term “lord” is applied to men or angels it also refers to the desire to be good.
