This term is often used in both singular and plural forms, with varying implications depending on the context. The concept of lordship is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, reflecting both human and divine authority. Divine Lordship The most significant use of the term "Lord" in the Bible refers to God Himself. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word "Adonai" is often translated as "Lord," signifying God's supreme authority and sovereignty over all creation. This is evident in passages such as <a href="/psalms/97-5.htm">Psalm 97:5</a>, "The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth." In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is frequently referred to as "Lord," affirming His divine nature and authority. <a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10-11</a> states, "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." This acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord is central to Christian faith, emphasizing His role as the divine ruler and Savior. Human Lords The Bible also uses the term "lords" to describe human rulers or masters. In ancient times, lords were individuals who held power over others, often in a feudal or servile context. For example, in <a href="/genesis/45-8.htm">Genesis 45:8</a>, Joseph refers to himself as a "father to Pharaoh, lord of all his household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt," highlighting his position of authority. In the New Testament, the term is used in a similar manner. In <a href="/1_peter/3-6.htm">1 Peter 3:6</a>, Sarah is commended for her obedience to Abraham, "calling him lord." This reflects the cultural norms of the time, where husbands were often seen as the heads of their households. Theological Implications The concept of lordship in the Bible carries significant theological implications. It underscores the belief in God's ultimate authority and the call for believers to submit to His will. The acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord is a declaration of faith and allegiance, recognizing His authority over all aspects of life. Furthermore, the Bible teaches that human authority is ultimately derived from God and should be exercised in accordance with His principles. <a href="/ephesians/6-9.htm">Ephesians 6:9</a> instructs masters to treat their servants with respect, "knowing that He who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with Him." Conclusion The term "lords" in the Bible encompasses both divine and human authority, with a primary focus on God's supreme rule and the lordship of Jesus Christ. It serves as a reminder of the importance of recognizing and submitting to God's authority in all areas of life, while also guiding human relationships and structures of power.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>LORDS OF THE PHILISTINES(ceren, same as Hebrew word for "axle," probably a native designation): These "lords" (<a href="/joshua/13-3.htm">Joshua 13:3</a> <a href="/judges/3-3.htm">Judges 3:3</a>; <a href="/judges/16-5.htm">Judges 16:5</a>, etc.; <a href="/1_samuel/5-8.htm">1 Samuel 5:8, 11</a>, etc.), elsewhere called "princes" (sar, <a href="/1_samuel/18-30.htm">1 Samuel 18:30</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/29-3.htm">1 Samuel 29:3, 4, 9</a>), were the petty rulers or kings of the 5 Philistine cities, Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron, Gath.
