And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his Servant.

• Isaac
• Communion

And the Lord appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my Servant Abraham's sake.

And it came to pass when we came up unto thy Servant my father, we told him the words of my Lord.

Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy Servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my Lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.

• Moses
• Despondency

And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy Servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

• Moses
• Communion

And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his Servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy Servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

And Joshua the son of Nun, the Servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My Lord Moses, forbid them.

• Moses
• Communion

With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my Servant Moses?

And remember that thou wast a Servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.

So Moses the Servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord.

Now after the death of Moses the Servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

Remember the word which Moses the Servant of the Lord commanded you, saying, the Lord your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.

Until the Lord have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the Lord your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the Lord'S Servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.

• Hosts
• Angel

And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his Servant?

• Stones

As Moses the Servant of the Lord commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.

• Benedictions

And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the Servant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the Lord thy God commanded his Servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the Servant of the Lord commanded.

• Joshua
• Obedience

As the Lord commanded Moses his Servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses.

Them did Moses the Servant of the Lord and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the Servant of the Lord gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.

With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the Servant of the Lord gave them;

Forty years old was I when Moses the Servant of the Lord sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.

• Priest

But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the Servant of the Lord gave them.

And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the Servant of the Lord commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:

And now the Lord your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the Servant of the Lord gave you on the other side Jordan.

• Walking

But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the Servant of the Lord charged you, to love the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

• Longevity

And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the Servant of the Lord, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

And Joshua the son of Nun, the Servant of the Lord, died, being an hundred and ten years old.

And he was sore athirst, and called on the Lord, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy Servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy Servant; for thou hast brought thy Servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?

Then said David, O Lord God of Israel, thy Servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.

Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy Servant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy Servant. And the Lord said, He will come down.

• Prostration
• King
• Abigail

And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his Servant from evil: for the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife. And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife. And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a Servant to wash the feet of the servants of my Lord. And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

• Prostration
• King
• Abigail

And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a Servant to wash the feet of the servants of my Lord.

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my Lord the king hear the words of his Servant. If the Lord have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the Lord; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other gods.

And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy Servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my Lord the king?

Now then do it: for the Lord hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my Servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.

• David
• Shepherd

Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my Servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy Servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?

And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, the Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy Servant David be established before thee.

Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy Servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy Servant be blessed for ever.

Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my Lord the king hath commanded his Servant, so shall thy Servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.

And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my Lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my Lord the king hath spoken: for thy Servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:

• Angel

To fetch about this form of speech hath thy Servant Joab done this thing: and my Lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.

And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy Servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my Lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his Servant.

For thy Servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my Lord the king.

• Angel

And he hath slandered thy Servant unto my Lord the king; but my Lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.

For all of my father's house were but dead men before my Lord the king: yet didst thou set thy Servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?

I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy Servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy Servant be yet a burden unto my Lord the king?

Let thy Servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy Servant Chimham; let him go over with my Lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.

• Conscience

And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O Lord, take away the iniquity of thy Servant; for I have done very foolishly.

And Araunah said, Wherefore is my Lord the king come to his Servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague may be stayed from the people.

Is this thing done by my Lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy Servant, who should sit on the throne of my Lord the king after him?

Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keep with thy Servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy Servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy Servant prayeth before thee to day:

Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his Servant.

And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his Servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:

On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the Lord had done for David his Servant, and for Israel his people.

• Obadiah
• Children

And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy Servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my Lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy Servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.

And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy Servant two mules' burden of earth? for thy Servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the Lord.

• Bowing
• Idolatry
• Temple

In this thing the Lord pardon thy Servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the Lord pardon thy Servant in this thing.

• Gehazi
• Deception

Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his Servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:

Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the Lord, which the Lord spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the Lord hath done that which he spake by his Servant Elijah.

He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his Servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher.

Because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the Servant of the Lord commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.

Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my Servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:

And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy Servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Lord God.

Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, the Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy Servant be established before thee.

Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy Servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed for ever.

• Blessing

O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy Servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy Servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.

Thus saith the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a Servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the Lord that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

• Darkness

Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his Servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God.

Therefore fear thou not, O my Servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

And they sing the song of Moses the Servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
