旧约 - 列王记下(2 Kings)第1章

Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
列王纪下第一章   第 1 章 

  王下 1:1> 列王纪下所记载的是──从中我们得到的亮光是── 

  1:1 列王纪上下本来属同一卷书。以色列本来是一个泱泱大国,却因背弃神而分裂为南北两小国。本书始于神的先知以利亚被接到天上,结束于犹大与以色列两国人民被掳到外邦。列王纪上记载宏伟的圣殿被建造,列王纪下则记载这圣殿被亵渎和被拆毁。 

  我们身处的世界和列王纪下的情形极其相似。天下万国的政府皆不寻求神,许多国家饱受战争摧残;许多人信靠科技,崇尚唯物论和战争,犹如拜假神一样,敬畏真神的人在世上少之又少。 

  今天世局险恶、人心败坏,但我们可以效法大卫、以利亚、以利沙等人的榜样。他们忠心高举神的尊荣,竭力遵行神的诫命,为当时的社会带来了更新与改革。除了效法先贤,我们更可以仰望耶稣基督,祂是完美的典范。要想举国遵行神的旨意,首先需要一个个甘愿为神工作的人。你把自己的心奉献给祂,祂就能藉着你去完成祂要你所做的工。 

  王下 1:2> 神是我们在患难中随时的帮助,但亚哈谢却去求问巴力西卜,为何? 

  1:2 巴力西卜与巴力不同,并非亚哈和耶洗别所拜的迦南人之神(参王上 16:31-33 )。巴力西卜是另一个多人供奉的神,在以革伦城有他的庙。人认为它有预言的大能,所以亚哈谢派遣使者去以革伦城,想知道他的病能否痊愈。亚哈谢这种行为是对真神的极大不敬。 

  王下 1:8> 以利亚是个怎样的人? 

  1:8 有关以利亚的详尽资料,请参看列王纪上 18 章中的人物介绍。 

  王下 1:13-15> 怎样在神面前才有出路?第三个五十夫长令我学到的功课…… 

  1:13-15 请留意第三个五十夫长来到以利亚面前的态度。以前的两个五十夫长,虽然称呼以利亚为“神人”,却非真心──他们的心中没有神。第三个五十夫长也称他为“神人”,而且谦卑地乞求怜悯。他持尊敬神和祂的权能的态度,因此救了自己和五十个兵士的性命。人对神先有正确的态度,才能有正常的生活。敬虔的话到你口中的时候,你先要察验是否出于内心。要以仆人般的谦卑态度来尊重神和人。 

  历代君王与他们的仇敌 

  王下 1:18> 同是记载历史,圣经作者与一般史学家记载手法有何不同? 

  1:18 以色列诸王记与犹大列王记( 8:23 )是两卷历史书。列王纪下的作者受圣灵感动,从这两卷书中选辑材料,以神的观点重述以色列与犹大的事迹。神指示作者的思路,使他写出真理──神的话语。──《灵修版圣经注释》
