旧约 - 列王记下(2 Kings)第22章

Josiah was eight years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem thirty-one years. His mother's name was Jedidah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath.
He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD and walked in all the ways of his father David, not turning aside to the right or to the left.
In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah sent the secretary, Shaphan son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, to the temple of the LORD. He said:
"Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him get ready the money that has been brought into the temple of the LORD, which the doorkeepers have collected from the people.
Have them entrust it to the men appointed to supervise the work on the temple. And have these men pay the workers who repair the temple of the LORD--
the carpenters, the builders and the masons. Also have them purchase timber and dressed stone to repair the temple.
But they need not account for the money entrusted to them, because they are acting faithfully."
Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, "I have found the Book of the Law in the temple of the LORD." He gave it to Shaphan, who read it.
Then Shaphan the secretary went to the king and reported to him: "Your officials have paid out the money that was in the temple of the LORD and have entrusted it to the workers and supervisors at the temple."
Then Shaphan the secretary informed the king, "Hilkiah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read from it in the presence of the king.
When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes.
He gave these orders to Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Acbor son of Micaiah, Shaphan the secretary and Asaiah the king's attendant:
"Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the LORD'S anger that burns against us because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us."
Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Acbor, Shaphan and Asaiah went to speak to the prophetess Huldah, who was the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. She lived in Jerusalem, in the Second District.
She said to them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Tell the man who sent you to me,
'This is what the LORD says: I am going to bring disaster on this place and its people, according to everything written in the book the king of Judah has read.
Because they have forsaken me and burned incense to other gods and provoked me to anger by all the idols their hands have made, my anger will burn against this place and will not be quenched.'
Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, 'This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the words you heard:
Because your heart was responsive and you humbled yourself before the LORD when you heard what I have spoken against this place and its people, that they would become accursed and laid waste, and because you tore your robes and wept in my presence, I have heard you, declares the LORD.
Therefore I will gather you to your fathers, and you will be buried in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster I am going to bring on this place.'" So they took her answer back to the king.
列王纪下第廿二章   第 22 章 

  王下 22:1-2> 约西亚是怎样一位贤君?给我何启发? 

  22:1-2 我们读圣经所记的,犹大与以色列众君王的事,很难见到一位全心全意顺服神的人,约西亚正是鲜有的一位。他开始作王的时候只有八岁,行耶和华眼中看为正的事,治国十八年都顺服神的旨意。他二十六岁时按照神的律法实施改革。儿童是我们教会与世界的未来领袖。人虽然要等到成年以后,才能为神承担大任,但是人不会因为年纪轻就不能敬畏顺服神。约西亚早年的时候,就立下以后犹大改革的根基。 

  王下 22:4> 22:4 圣殿的守门人,是管理进入圣殿者,并监管从民中收聚的银子(投入圣殿奉献柜中的)。 

  王下 22:8> 在希勒家发现律法书前,以色列人连圣经书卷都没有了…… 

  22:8 这卷书可能是摩西五经的全部(从创世记到申命记),或者仅是一卷申命记。由于犹大国长年累月有恶王当政,神律法的记载已经遗失了。这时约西亚年约二十六岁,他想在全国实施宗教改革,既发现神的律法书,就必须有彻底的改变,才能使全国顺从神的命令。你现在手中有本圣经,你要如何改变才能使生活符合神之道? 

  王下 22:11-23:3> 一次听到神话语,忧伤痛悔行改革──听道而后行道,我的反应似乎没有这么快…… 

  22:11-23:3 约西亚听到神律法书上的话,便忧伤地撕裂衣服,立刻实施改革。只是一次读到神的律法,他就改变了全国的方向;现在许多人都有圣经,可惜很少人受神真理的影响。神之道应当使我们像约西亚一样立刻采取行动,矫正自己的生活,以便符合神的旨意。 

  王下 22:14> 古时中东的妇女地位低下,神使用户勒大有何意义? 

  22:14 户勒大是一位女先知,就像米利暗(参出 15:20 )、底波拉(参士 4:4 )一样。神随祂的意思拣选仆人来实行祂的旨意──不分穷富、男女、君王或为奴的(参珥 2:28-30 )。户勒大当时显然极受人民尊敬。 

  王下 22:19> 以色列人以撕裂衣服表示悔改,今天我悔改却不是这样啊!悔改最要紧的是── 

  22:19 约西亚看出犹大族是何等的败坏,他撕裂衣服在神面前哭泣,神就向他施怜悯。他使用当时的惯例来表示悔改,我们现在悔改,虽不必撕裂衣服,但哭泣、禁食、赔偿道歉等,也可表明真诚的悔改。悔改最难的是改变态度,因为人的态度是产生罪的根源。──《灵修版圣经注释》
