旧约 - 撒母耳记下(2 Samuel)第9章

David asked, "Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan's sake?"
Now there was a servant of Saul's household named Ziba. They called him to appear before David, and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" "Your servant," he replied.
The king asked, "Is there no one still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show God's kindness?" Ziba answered the king, "There is still a son of Jonathan; he is crippled in both feet."
"Where is he?" the king asked. Ziba answered, "He is at the house of Makir son of Ammiel in Lo Debar."
So King David had him brought from Lo Debar, from the house of Makir son of Ammiel.
When Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he bowed down to pay him honor. David said, "Mephibosheth!" "Your servant," he replied.
"Don't be afraid," David said to him, "for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table."
Mephibosheth bowed down and said, "What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?"
Then the king summoned Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, "I have given your master's grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family.
You and your sons and your servants are to farm the land for him and bring in the crops, so that your master's grandson may be provided for. And Mephibosheth, grandson of your master, will always eat at my table." (Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.)
Then Ziba said to the king, "Your servant will do whatever my lord the king commands his servant to do." So Mephibosheth ate at David's table like one of the king's sons.
Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica, and all the members of Ziba's household were servants of Mephibosheth.
And Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king's table, and he was crippled in both 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》
