旧约 - 撒母耳记下(2 Samuel)第9章

And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
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 Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
撒母耳记下第九章   第 9 章 

  撒下 9:1-13> 宽阔的胸襟与仁慈的心怀,始终比仇恨更有力量…… 

  9:1-13 在大卫时代,作君王的多欲除灭对头,以防止他们的后裔起来争夺王位。但是大卫对扫罗的孙子──约拿单的儿子米非波设大施慈爱。他的慈爱一方面出于尊重神以前所膏立的君王(参撒上 24:5-6 的注释);另一面也是出于政治因素,他想将犹大与以色列统一起来(参 3:13-14 及 3:29 的注释);不过主要的原因还是因为他曾向约拿单起誓,要恩待他的子孙(参撒上 20:14-17 )。 

  撒下 9:3> 约拿单的儿子为什么会瘸腿? 

  9:3 约拿单与扫罗阵亡的时候,米非波设只有五岁,致残的原因参阅 4 章 4 节。 

  撒下 9:5-6> 恩典的含意本有我不配得之意,既是如此,为何不放胆坦然地来到神的施恩座前? 

  9:5 -6 米 非波设不敢来见大卫王,他没有想到大卫待他如王子。米非波设虽然害怕丧命,也可能觉得不配见王,并不表示他拒绝大卫的赏赐。同样,神宽厚地赦免我们的罪,我们也可能自愧不配,但是只要我们愿意领受,就能得到诸般赏赐。凡愿意信靠耶稣基督、领受神赏赐之人,都会受到比米非波设得到的更热切的欢迎。并不是因为我们配得,一切都是神所应许的(参弗 2:8-9 )。 

  撒下 9:7> 饶恕的心乃是喜乐的良药,在我心中是否仍有不能释怀之人,叫我失去怜悯的素质? 

  9:7 大卫在对待米非波设一事上,显出他作领袖的泱泱大度,照着他所承诺的,向约拿单的儿子显出诚实与怜悯。他慷慨供应约拿单之子的结果,超过他以往所能获得的政治利益。你能否饶恕曾得罪你的人?你能否对不配之人慷慨?我们每次向别人施怜悯,自己的品格也随之得到提高。──《灵修版圣经注释》
