旧约 - 列王记下(2 Kings)第21章

Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did.
And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.
And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
列王纪下第廿一章   第 21 章 

  王下 21:1-18> 玛拿西是一个什么样的恶王? 

  21:1-18 玛拿西效法祖父亚哈斯多于效法他父亲希西家(译者注:在他出生时祖父亚哈斯已经死了)。他效法巴比伦人与迦南人的邪风恶俗,包括使儿子经火──用儿子献祭( 21:6 )。他不听神的先知的话,故意令人民犯罪。(有关他的一生,请参历代志下 33 章的介绍。) 

  王下 21:6> 为何今天仍有信徒对某些邪术习以为常? 

  21:6 玛拿西是个恶王,他犯罪惹动神的怒气。他效法异教的习俗──观兆、用法术(也可以译作“行巫术与占卜”),招聘交鬼的和行巫术的,全是神所严禁的事(参利 19:31 ;申 18:9-13 ),因为这些事显出对祂的不信,并有犯罪的举动,让污鬼的势力长驱直入。现在有许多书籍或电视节目与游戏,都看重占卜算命、降邪招魂,以及其他的异教习俗。不要因为想知悉未来,或者以为迷信对人无害,就宽容这些荒诞的花样。它们都是虚假的,并不是神的大能,其信仰的根源完全与神对立。 

  王下 21:7> 亚舍拉是个什么偶像? 

  21:7 亚舍拉是迦南人的女神巴力的妻子。她的柱像是木头造的。神明确地禁止以色列人去拜亚舍拉木偶(参出 34:13 与申 12:3 )。 

  王下 21:13> 准绳和线铊,不是丈量的工具吗?何解却用来── 

  21:13 准绳与线铊象征对犹大的审判。这些丈量的工具,本是用来量度建造工程的,在这里用来检验耶路撒冷,显出它的亏欠,因此神说,祂要毁灭耶路撒冷,有如毁灭撒马利亚与亚哈家一样。 

  王下 21:16> 流许多无辜人的血?这玛拿西干的是什么事? 

  21:16 按照传统的说法,当玛拿西进行大屠杀的时候,以赛亚躲在一个树洞里,却被他们拉出来用锯锯死(参来 11:37-38 )。当时也有其他的先知被害。──《灵修版圣经注释》
