(201) 2Ki 5:22 And he said , All is well . My master (adown) hath sent me, saying , Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets : give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver , and two changes of garments .
.. My Lord (adown) hath sent
(202) 2Ki 5:25 But he went in , and stood before his master (adown) . And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi ? And he said , Thy servant went no whither .
.. before his Lord (adown) . And Elisha
(203) 2Ki 6:5 But as one was felling a beam , the axe head fell into the water : and he cried , and said , Alas , master (adown) ! for it was borrowed .
.. Alas , Lord (adown) ! for it was borrowed..
(204) 2Ki 6:12 And one of his servants said , None, my lord (adown) , O king : but Elisha , the prophet that is in Israel , telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber .
.. None, my lord (adown) , O king ..
(205) 2Ki 6:15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early , and gone forth , behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots . And his servant said unto him, Alas , my master (adown) ! how shall we do ?
..Alas , my Lord (adown) ! ..
(206) 2Ki 6:22 And he answered , Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow ? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink , and go to their master (adown) .
.. and drink , and go to their Lord (adown) ..
(207) 2Ki 6:23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk , he sent them away , and they went to their master (adown) . So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel .
.. and they went to their Lord(adown) ..
(208) 2Ki 6:26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall , there cried a woman unto him, saying , Help , my lord (adown) , O king .
.. , my lord (adown) , O king ..
(209) 2Ki 6:32 But Elisha sat in his house , and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders , See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head ? look , when the messenger cometh , shut the door , and hold him fast at the door : is not the sound of his master's (adown) feet behind him?
..is not the sound of his Lord's (adown) feet ..
(210) 2Ki 8:5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life , that, behold, the woman , whose son he had restored to life , cried to the king for her house and for her land . And Gehazi said , My lord (adown) , O king , this is the woman , and this is her son , whom Elisha restored to life .
.. And Gehazi said , My lord (adown) , O king..
Why does KJV make a servant of a prophet say my 'master' and then for a king say 'my Lord'?
What difference does a lower or higher ruler make to how 'adown' is meant ?
The consistent meaning 'Lord' is better for all the contexts..
