'Servant' in the Bible

And he gave orders to Hilkiah and to Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Abdon, the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe and Asaiah, the king's servant, saying,

Let your ear now take note and let your eyes be open, so that you may give ear to the prayer of your servant, which I make before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel, your servants, while I put before you the sins of the children of Israel, which we have done against you: truly, I and my father's people are sinners.

We have done great wrong against you, and have not kept the orders, the rules, and the decisions, which you gave to your servant Moses.

Keep in mind, O Lord, the order you gave your servant Moses, saying, If you do wrong I will send you wandering among the peoples:

O Lord, let your ear take note of the prayer of your servant, and of the prayers of your servants, who take delight in worshipping your name: give help, O Lord, to your servant this day, and let him have mercy in the eyes of this man. (Now I was the king's wine-servant.)

And I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, and if your servant has your approval, send me to Judah, to the town where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, so that I may take in hand the building of it.

And Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, hearing of it, were greatly troubled because a man had come to the help of the children of Israel.

But Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, hearing of it, made sport of us, laughing at us and saying, What are you doing? will you go against the king?

And at the same time I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant come inside Jerusalem for the night, so that at night they may keep watch for us, and go on working by day.

Then Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

And you gave them word of your holy Sabbath, and gave them orders and rules and a law, by the hand of Moses your servant:

They were united with their brothers, their rulers, and put themselves under a curse and an oath, to keep their steps in the way of God's law, which was given by Moses, the servant of God, and to keep and do all the orders of the Lord, our Lord, and his decisions and his rules;

And Pethahiah, the son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, was the king's servant in everything to do with the people.

Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the women: and let the things needed for making them clean be given to them;

And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant-girls moved to the best place in the women's part of the house.

Now when the time came for Esther, the daughter of Abihail, his father's brother, whom Mordecai had taken as his daughter, to go in to the king, she made request for nothing but what Hegai, the king's servant and keeper of the women, had given her. And Esther was looked on kindly by all who saw her.

And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil?

And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil? and he still keeps his righteousness, though you have been moving me to send destruction on him without cause.

The small and the great are there, and the servant is free from his master.

Has not man his ordered time of trouble on the earth? and are not his days like the days of a servant working for payment?

As a servant desiring the shades of evening, and a workman looking for his payment:

Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.

At my cry my servant gives me no answer, and I have to make a prayer to him.

Will the ox of the mountains be your servant? or is his night's resting-place by your food-store?

Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever?

And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

By them is your servant made conscious of danger, and in keeping them there is great reward.

Keep your servant back from sins of pride; let them not have rule over me: then will I be upright and free from great sin.

A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.

Let no servant of yours be put to shame; may those be shamed who are false without cause.

Let not your face be covered from me; do not put away your servant in wrath; you have been my help: do not give me up or take your support from me, O God of my salvation.

Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.

Let those who are on my side give cries of joy; let them ever say, The Lord be praised, for he has pleasure in the peace of his servant.

Let not your face be covered from your servant, for I am in trouble; quickly give me an answer.

He took David to be his servant, taking him from the place of the flocks;

I have made an agreement with the man of my selection, I have made an oath to David my servant;

I have made discovery of David my servant; I have put my holy oil on his head.

You have made your agreement with your servant of no effect: you have had no respect for his crown, it has come down even to the earth.

O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:

He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.

For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.

They may give curses but you give blessing; when they come up against me, put them to shame; but let your servant be glad.

O Lord, truly I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of her who is your servant; by you have my cords been broken.

Give me, your servant, the reward of life, so that I may keep your word;

Rulers make evil designs against me; but your servant gives thought to your rules.

Give effect to your word to your servant, in whose heart is the fear of you.

Keep in mind your word to your servant, for on it has my hope been fixed.

You have done good to your servant, O Lord, in keeping with your word.

Let your mercy now be my comfort, as you have said to your servant.

How short is the life of your servant! when will you give your decision against those who are attacking me?

Be good to your servant in your mercy, and give me teaching in your rules.

I am your servant; give me wisdom, so that I may have knowledge of your unchanging word.

Let your servant see the shining of your face; give me knowledge of your rules.

Your word is of tested value; and it is dear to your servant.

I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.

Even a heritage for his servant Israel: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

The troubler of his house will have the wind for his heritage, and the foolish will be servant to the wise-hearted.

He who is of low position and has a servant, is better than one who has a high opinion of himself and is in need of bread.

The king has pleasure in a servant who does wisely, but his wrath is against him who is a cause of shame.

A servant who does wisely will have rule over a son causing shame, and will have his part in the heritage among brothers.

An uncontrolled man is only looking for trouble, so a cruel servant will be sent against him.

Material comfort is not good for the foolish; much less for a servant to be put over rulers.

The man of wealth has rule over the poor, and he who gets into debt is a servant to his creditor.

As the cold of snow in the time of grain-cutting, so is a true servant to those who send him; for he gives new life to the soul of his master.

Whoever keeps a fig-tree will have its fruit; and the servant waiting on his master will be honoured.

There will be goats' milk enough for your food, and for the support of your servant-girls.

A servant will not be trained by words; for though the sense of the words is clear to him, he will not give attention.

If a servant is gently cared for from his early years, he will become a cause of sorrow in the end.

Do not say evil of a servant to his master, or he will put a curse on you, and you will get into trouble.

A servant when he becomes a king; a man without sense when his wealth is increased;

A hated woman when she is married; and a servant-girl who takes the place of her master's wife.

She gets up while it is still night, and gives meat to her family, and their food to her servant-girls.

Do not give ear to all the words which men say, for fear of hearing the curses of your servant.

There are sixty queens, and eighty servant-wives, and young girls without number.

My dove, my very beautiful one, is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the dearest one of her who gave her birth. The daughters saw her, and gave her a blessing; yes, the queens and the servant-wives, and they gave her praises.

But now the Lord has said, In three years, the years of a servant working for payment, the glory of Moab, all that great people, will be turned to shame, and the rest of Moab will be very small and without honour.

And the Lord said, As my servant Isaiah has gone unclothed and without shoes for three years as a sign and a wonder to Egypt and Ethiopia,

For so has the Lord said to me, In a year, by the years of a servant working for payment, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end:

And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:

And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.

For I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.

But as for you, Israel, my servant, and you, Jacob, whom I have taken for myself, the seed of Abraham my friend:

You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and sent for from its farthest parts, saying to you, You are my servant, whom I have taken for myself, and whom I have not given up:

See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.

Who is blind, but my servant? who has his ears stopped, but he whom I send? who is blind as my true one, or who has his ears shut like the Lord's servant?

You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and my servant whom I have taken for myself: so that you may see and have faith in me, and that it may be clear to you that I am he; before me there was no God formed, and there will not be after me.

You have not got me sweet-smelling plants with your money, or given me pleasure with the fat of your offerings: but you have made me a servant to your sins, and you have made me tired with your evil doings.

And now, give ear, O Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself:

The Lord who made you, forming you in your mother's body, the Lord, your helper, says, Have no fear, O Jacob my servant, and you, Jeshurun, whom I have taken for myself.

Keep these things in mind, O Jacob; and you Israel, for you are my servant: I have made you; you are my servant; O Israel, I will not let you go out of my memory.

Because of Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself, I have sent for you by name, giving you a name of honour, though you had no knowledge of me.

Go out of Babylon, go in flight from the Chaldaeans; with the sound of song make it clear, give the news, let the word go out even to the end of the earth: say, The Lord has taken up the cause of his servant Jacob.

And he said to me, You are my servant, Israel, in whom my glory will be seen;

And now, says the Lord, who made me his servant when I was still in my mother's body, so that I might make Jacob come back to him, and so that Israel might come together to him: and I was honoured in the eyes of the Lord, and my God became my strength.

It is not enough for one who is my servant to put the tribes of Jacob again in their place, and to get back those of Israel who have been sent away: my purpose is to give you as a light to the nations, so that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

The Lord who takes up Israel's cause, even his Holy One, says to him whom men make sport of, who is hated by the nations, a servant of rulers: Kings will see and get up from their places, and chiefs will give worship: because of the Lord who keeps faith; even the Holy One of Israel who has taken you for himself.

Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support.
