旧约 - 列王记下(2 Kings)第20章

In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,
I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?
And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.
And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
列王纪下第二十章   第 20 章 

  王下 20:5-6> 神赐希西家延年的生命,今天人也可为自己求寿吗? 

  20:5-6 在犹大超过一百年(公元前 732-640 )的历史之中,希西家是惟一的对神忠心的君王;而他也取得极大的成就,因他的信心与祷告,神医治了他的疾病,并拯救耶路撒冷不至落入亚述人之手。即使你的信仰使你成为孤独的少数,你也能有所作为。如果你以诚实的信心与祷告向这位独一的真神祈求,就能改变情势。 

  王下 20:11> 古时日头停留,此次日影倒退,情况是…… 

  20:11 亚哈斯王所造的梯级是个日晷。埃及这时期的日晷有些是造成小型梯级的形状,可以观察日影在梯级上的移动。 

  王下 20:12-19> 希西家骄傲带来的祸患给我很多提醒…… 

  20:12-19 希西家本来是忠心良善的君王,但是先知以赛亚问他,巴比伦的使者来见他,他拿什么给他看的时候,他说:“凡我宫中所有的,他们都看见了。”历代志下 32 章 24 至 31 节记载希西家因他的富足成就和疾病得蒙医治感到骄傲,他不归荣耀与神,不认为是祂的赐福,反用来向外国使者炫耀。神帮助我们的时候,我们不应该向人夸示神所赐的福。胜利的见证很容易变成无谓的虚荣和自我恭维。 

  王下 20:14> 巴比伦是怎么崛起的?? 

  20:14 巴比伦城曾经背叛亚述国,在公元前 689 年被西拿基立王毁灭。这里所记的事可能发生于城毁以前不久。西拿基立死于公元前 681 年,儿子以撒哈顿即位,他愚昧地重建巴比伦城。这时亚述的君王软弱,使巴比伦有大好机会崛起壮大。当亚述大军出发远征、欺压别国时,巴比伦城就逐渐扩展而成为小国。几年后,巴比伦强大到再次背叛亚述,终于在公元前 612 年消灭了亚述,代之成为世界另一个强国。 

  王下 20:19> 希西家为何这样回答? 

  20:19 希西家说,以赛亚所预言的可怕灾祸,不在他的年日临到甚好。他这话似乎是自私、短视和骄傲的,但是,他知道犹大的罪终必要受神的处罚,所以神不在他活着的时候毁灭犹大,对此他感谢神。 

  王下 20:20> 希西家在解决耶路撒冷水源方面有哪些具体贡献? 

  20:20 这一节所说的挖地、挖沟,是指从耶路撒冷城外的基训泉,挖出一条通往城内西罗亚池子的地下水道,有 540 公尺长(参代下 32:30 )。它从耶路撒冷城外的水源通往城内安全的贮水池。有了这工程,就不怕亚述人切断城内的食水供应。──《灵修版圣经注释》
