旧约 - 列王记下(2 Kings)第14章

In the second year of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah began to reign.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddin; she was from Jerusalem.
He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father David had done. In everything he followed the example of his father Joash.
The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.
After the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king.
Yet he did not put the sons of the assassins to death, in accordance with what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses where the LORD commanded: "Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sins."
He was the one who defeated ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt and captured Sela in battle, calling it Joktheel, the name it has to this day.
Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, with the challenge: "Come, meet me face to face."
But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: "A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, 'Give your daughter to my son in marriage.' Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle underfoot.
You have indeed defeated Edom and now you are arrogant. Glory in your victory, but stay at home! Why ask for trouble and cause your own downfall and that of Judah also?"
Amaziah, however, would not listen, so Jehoash king of Israel attacked. He and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth Shemesh in Judah.
Judah was routed by Israel, and every man fled to his home.
Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate--a section about six hundred feet long.
He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the temple of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace. He also took hostages and returned to Samaria.
As for the other events of the reign of Jehoash, what he did and his achievements, including his war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
Jehoash rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam his son succeeded him as king.
Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
As for the other events of Amaziah's reign, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?
They conspired against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.
He was brought back by horse and was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers, in the City of David.
Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his fathers.
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash king of Israel became king in Samaria, and he reigned forty-one years.
He did evil in the eyes of the LORD and did not turn away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit.
He was the one who restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, in accordance with the word of the LORD, the God of Israel, spoken through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath Hepher.
The LORD had seen how bitterly everyone in Israel, whether slave or free, was suffering; there was no one to help them.
And since the LORD had not said he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
As for the other events of Jeroboam's reign, all he did, and his military achievements, including how he recovered for Israel both Damascus and Hamath, which had belonged to Yaudi, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah his son succeeded him as king.
列王纪下第十四章   第 14 章 

  王下 14:7> 西拉被攻下,对以东人的影响── 

  14:7 西拉就是古时的坚固城彼特拉,它是沿悬崖峭壁凿出来的城市。它不但是以东的坚固城,也是与印度开展贸易的繁华重镇。 

  王下 14:9-10> 香柏树和蒺藜,一个栋梁之材,一个毫无用处…… 

  14:9-10 以色列王约阿施在这个比喻里,将犹大比作微不足道的蒺藜。犹大王亚玛谢打败以东人以后心高气傲,想与以色列争雄,他确信兵力强过对方。约阿施把犹大的军队比作蒺藜,将自己的军队比作香柏树,想劝对方不要来犯。但亚玛谢高估自己的实力,志大才疏又不听约阿施的警告,以致惨败。 

  王下 14:13> 14:13 拆毁城墙是对城内居民的羞辱,使他们难以防御将来的侵略。 

  王下 14:25> 在此期间,除约拿之外,神还兴起很多先知,他们是── 

  14:25 在这期间,神为他们兴起许多先知,例如何西阿、阿摩司、约拿、弥迦、以赛亚等人,他们在神的灵引导下说出一连串预言。他们继续传讲神普世的大工,也展望神未来的属灵国度。神会在以色列人道德与灵性衰败之时,预备弥赛亚的来临。因为在以色列国和她的的军力被消灭时,许多人就会欢迎耶稣带来的大好消息。 

  王下 14:25> 14:25 关于先知约拿的详细资料,请看约拿书。 

  王下 14:28> 耶罗波安是怎样的王?能给百姓带来什么? 

  14:28 耶罗波安二世并非全心全意地敬畏神,但由于他的军事策略及治国之道,以色列国享受到继所罗门之后最富强的时代。但是先知阿摩司与何西阿把国中的实际情形揭示出来(参何 13:4-8 ;摩 6:11-14 )。耶罗波安的政府不理公平与公义,结果是富者愈富,贫者愈贫;人人自私自利,倚重权力、信赖财富多过信靠神。穷人饱受欺压,难以相信神鉴察他们的苦情。物质的丰富不一定是神赐福的明证,因为这也可能是人自我努力的成果。如果你物质丰足,请你切记,神看重我们如何取得财富、成就和对财富运用的态度。我们所有的全是属于祂的,我们必须把祂所赏赐的财富,用在祂的旨意上。──《灵修版圣经注释》
