旧约 - 列王记上(1 Kings)第9章

When Solomon had finished building the temple of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all he had desired to do,
the LORD appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
The LORD said to him: "I have heard the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
"As for you, if you walk before me in integrity of heart and uprightness, as David your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws,
I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father when I said, 'You shall never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.'
"But if you or your sons turn away from me and do not observe the commands and decrees I have given you and go off to serve other gods and worship them,
then I will cut off Israel from the land I have given them and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. Israel will then become a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples.
And though this temple is now imposing, all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff and say, 'Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?'
People will answer, 'Because they have forsaken the LORD their God, who brought their fathers out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them--that is why the LORD brought all this disaster on them.'"
At the end of twenty years, during which Solomon built these two buildings--the temple of the LORD and the royal palace--
King Solomon gave twenty towns in Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, because Hiram had supplied him with all the cedar and pine and gold he wanted.
But when Hiram went from Tyre to see the towns that Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.
"What kind of towns are these you have given me, my brother?" he asked. And he called them the Land of Cabul, a name they have to this day.
Now Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents of gold.
Here is the account of the forced labor King Solomon conscripted to build the LORD'S temple, his own palace, the supporting terraces, the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, Megiddo and Gezer.
(Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire. He killed its Canaanite inhabitants and then gave it as a wedding gift to his daughter, Solomon's wife.
And Solomon rebuilt Gezer.) He built up Lower Beth Horon,
Baalath, and Tadmor in the desert, within his land,
as well as all his store cities and the towns for his chariots and for his horses--whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon and throughout all the territory he ruled.
All the people left from the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites (these peoples were not Israelites),
that is, their descendants remaining in the land, whom the Israelites could not exterminate--these Solomon conscripted for his slave labor force, as it is to this day.
But Solomon did not make slaves of any of the Israelites; they were his fighting men, his government officials, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and charioteers.
They were also the chief officials in charge of Solomon's projects--550 officials supervising the men who did the work.
After Pharaoh's daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace Solomon had built for her, he constructed the supporting terraces.
Three times a year Solomon sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar he had built for the LORD, burning incense before the LORD along with them, and so fulfilled the temple obligations.
King Solomon also built ships at Ezion Geber, which is near Elath in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
And Hiram sent his men--sailors who knew the sea--to serve in the fleet with Solomon's men.
They sailed to Ophir and brought back 420 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
列王纪上第九章   第 9 章 

  9:4-9 这是神第二次向所罗门显现,第一次是在基遍( 3:4-15 )。关于神对大卫和他后裔的伟大应许,请参看 2 章 3 至 4 节的注释。 

  所罗门的建造计划 

  王上 9:11-14> 有的事很难有绝对的公平合理,利益常使人忘记所得的福分,我呢? 

  9:11-14 所罗门对推罗王希兰是否不公平呢?很难下定论。从这几节经文中看不出所罗门是将这几座城送给希兰,还是用其作抵押,直到他能够还清向希兰所借的金子为止。历代志下第 8 章 1 , 2 两 节暗指希兰将这些城邑又归还所罗门。不管怎样,希兰可能喜欢得到沿海的一块地,因其适于经商贸易(他称这些城邑为“迦步勒( Cabul ) " ,这个名字在希伯来文中听起来好像是 " 毫无用处 " 的意思)。后来希兰因与所罗门一同经商,获利甚丰(参代下 9:10 , 21 )。由于腓尼基人与以色列人友好,并靠他们输出谷物与油,所以希兰与所罗门的关系比其他分封的公侯更重要。 

  王上 9:16> 藉联姻得回土地管治权,似乎不错,但…… 

  9:16 此时的以色列与埃及是近东强国。基色虽然在以色列的境内,多年来却受制于埃及,在所罗门时代,法老将这个城邑给他的女儿作嫁妆,所罗门娶她为后,这城就交给以色列人管治。国际间王室通婚虽属常事,但神并不称许所罗门这门婚姻(参申 17:17 )。──《灵修版圣经注释》
