2 Samuel 18:12

Studie

       

12 And the man said to Joab, Even if you gave me a thousand bits of silver, I would not put out my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king gave orders to you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care that the young man Absalom is not touched.

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.
