旧约 - 历代记上(1 Chronicles)第19章

In the course of time, Nahash king of the Ammonites died, and his son succeeded him as king.
David thought, "I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father. When David's men came to Hanun in the land of the Ammonites to express sympathy to him,
the Ammonite nobles said to Hanun, "Do you think David is honoring your father by sending men to you to express sympathy? Haven't his men come to you to explore and spy out the country and overthrow it?"
So Hanun seized David's men, shaved them, cut off their garments in the middle at the buttocks, and sent them away.
When someone came and told David about the men, he sent messengers to meet them, for they were greatly humiliated. The king said, "Stay at Jericho till your beards have grown, and then come back."
When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench in David's nostrils, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire chariots and charioteers from Aram Naharaim, Aram Maacah and Zobah.
They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and charioteers, as well as the king of Maacah with his troops, who came and camped near Medeba, while the Ammonites were mustered from their towns and moved out for battle.
On hearing this, David sent Joab out with the entire army of fighting men.
The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance to their city, while the kings who had come were by themselves in the open country.
Joab saw that there were battle lines in front of him and behind him; so he selected some of the best troops in Israel and deployed them against the Arameans.
He put the rest of the men under the command of Abishai his brother, and they were deployed against the Ammonites.
Joab said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to rescue me; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will rescue you.
Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The LORD will do what is good in his sight."
Then Joab and the troops with him advanced to fight the Arameans, and they fled before him.
When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans were fleeing, they too fled before his brother Abishai and went inside the city. So Joab went back to Jerusalem.
After the Arameans saw that they had been routed by Israel, they sent messengers and had Arameans brought from beyond the River, with Shophach the commander of Hadadezer's army leading them.
When David was told of this, he gathered all Israel and crossed the Jordan; he advanced against them and formed his battle lines opposite them. David formed his lines to meet the Arameans in battle, and they fought against him.
But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven thousand of their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers. He also killed Shophach the commander of their army.
When the vassals of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. So the Arameans were not willing to help the Ammonites anymore.
历代志上第十九章   第 19 章 

  代上 19:1> 亚扪人的来历…… 

  19:1 亚扪与以色列东部边境毗邻。他们的民族有一个龌龊的起源──他们的始祖便亚米是罗得与女儿乱伦所生的(参创 19:30-38 )。亚扪人与以色列人世代为仇,到士师时代兵力强盛达到巅峰。大卫是第一位压制了亚扪人的军事领袖,使他们以后多年不能再扰害以色列人。 

  代上 19:2-3> 别人若对我好,我第一个反应会是…… 

  19:2-3 哈嫩误解大卫的用意,由于他疑忌太甚,结果自取其祸。人由于过往的经验,很容易凡事猜疑别人,查问别人的行动,猜忌对方的动机。我们对人处事虽然要谨慎明智,却不可凡事推断别人不怀好意。 

  19:4-5 以色列的成年男子通常都留胡须。如果被人强迫剃须,会使他感到异常难堪;况且大卫的使者被割去下半截衣服,半身赤裸。哈嫩羞辱了这些人,并以此来凌辱以色列人。 

  代上 19:6> 哈嫩文过饰非,我如何对待自己所犯的错? 

  19:6 哈嫩不仅没有认错,寻求大卫的饶恕与和好,反而花大笔金钱想遮掩过失。他这样做付出了极大的代价( 20:1-4 )。遮掩过错常常比诚实地认错付出的更多。人想藉着自辩平息过犯,结果使过失更加严重,倒不如一看出自己犯错就立刻求对方饶恕并与之和好,这样双方就都免去许多痛苦烦恼。──《灵修版圣经注释》
