旧约 - 历代记上（1 Chronicles）第20章

And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.

And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.

And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.

And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.

And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.

But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.

These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

历代志上第二十章　　第 20 章　

　　代上 20:1> 本书略去大卫与拔示巴犯奸淫一事，是想隐瞒什么？其实是──　

　　20:1　列王出战，大卫却留在耶路撒冷，就在这时犯了奸淫罪（参撒下 11-12 章）。历代志上略去这件事不提，可能因为这卷书重点在记载神对以色列人的眷顾，和神如何祝福象征神同在的圣殿。大卫与拔示巴犯奸淫的事，不合这卷书的宗旨。在本章与下一章之间提及的年代中，曾发生押沙龙的叛乱事件（参撒下 15-18 章），可能因为同样的原因，也略去不提。　

　　代上 20:1> 大卫怠惰时，使试探有机可乘。我是懒懒散散，还是把握机会为主做工？　

　　20:1　列王出征多在春季收割之后，此时农耕的工作轻省下来，军队就能出外争战。他们在冬季策划好将要攻取之地，一俟天气转好，军队便出发；但是大卫没有抓住这个机会，他留在后方，只派约押率领军队出战。就在此怠惰之时，大卫与拔示巴犯了奸淫之罪。你要留意生命中的“春天”，那是神要你作回应的时刻，你要采取主动，遵行祂的旨意。就是在这些关键的时刻我们对试探易有最敏锐的警觉。你要坚定走上神定规的道路，不要懒散让试探有机可乘。　

　　代上 20:1> 20:1　拉巴是亚扪人的首都，现代约旦王国安曼所在地。──《灵修版圣经注释》　

历代志上第二十章　　显赫的战迹（二十 1 ～ 8 ）　

　　思想　谁是大卫战争得胜的力量之源？基督徒面对挑战时可以倚靠谁人得胜？　

　　“列王出战的时候”是指春季，大卫也派遣约押领兵出战。　

　　．战败亚扪（ 1 ～ 3 ）：“拉巴”是亚扪的京城，它被攻陷，显示大卫的军队在此役中得到大胜；亚扪王的金冠且被戴在大卫的头上，一他连得约等于三十公斤，要戴这个冠冕也不是容易的事。第 3 节给人残忍的感觉，因此圣经小字另作“强他们……作工”。但从当代战争失败者的常见遭遇来看，这种屠杀的情况并非罕有；且历史学家指出，这里所提种种刑法，正是亚扪人常用来对待别国人民的，真可谓自食其果，恶有恶报。　

　　．战败非利士（ 4 ～ 8 ）：前面已曾指出非利士人的来源，他们也是一强悍的民族，时常侵扰以色列。“伟人”是指身量高大的巨人，如歌利亚身高三米多，他们高大，气力充沛；然而却败在以色列的勇士手下。　

　　我们相信这些身量高大的人，在战场上可耀武扬威，甚至也是打遍天下无敌手；但在大卫的战士面前都一一败阵身亡。大卫的仆人比他们更高大更有气力吗？我想不是。正如当歌利亚看见大卫迎他走来的时候，曾以轻视的态度面对大卫，但最终得胜者却是大卫。大卫指出战胜强悍对手的秘诀：“我来攻击你，是靠万军之耶和华的名……”（撒上十七 45b ）从表面看，大卫的对手是强悍的，但以色列人却因神的缘故而在多次战役中，得到显赫的战迹。　

　　在日常生活中，我们不一定面对真实的干戈，但信仰的路途却真的充满险阻，而且魔鬼也在虎视耽耽，随时要夺去你我的生命，所以我们必须时刻倚靠神而得胜之。　

　　祈祷　求主助我得胜，不靠己力，只靠自己。──《新旧约辅读》
