旧约 - 历代记下(2 Chronicles)第15章

The Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded.
He went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach and without the law.
But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found by them.
In those days it was not safe to travel about, for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil.
One nation was being crushed by another and one city by another, because God was troubling them with every kind of distress.
But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded."
When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar of the LORD that was in front of the portico of the LORD'S temple.
Then he assembled all Judah and Benjamin and the people from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them, for large numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's reign.
At that time they sacrificed to the LORD seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from the plunder they had brought back.
They entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul.
All who would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, were to be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.
They took an oath to the LORD with loud acclamation, with shouting and with trumpets and horns.
All Judah rejoiced about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They sought God eagerly, and he was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.
King Asa also deposed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive Asherah pole. Asa cut the pole down, broke it up and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
Although he did not remove the high places from Israel, Asa's heart was fully committed to the LORD all his life.
He brought into the temple of God the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.
There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign.
历代志下第十五章   第 15 章 

  代下 15:1-2> 亚撒明智地选择亲近神!我也想做到,谁可以帮助我? 

  15:1-2 亚撒明智地听从与神亲近之人的话,并虚心受谏;而亚撒利雅则严厉地警告犹大军兵,鼓励他们紧紧依靠神。与被圣灵充满之人相交,你就会明白神的计划,你要经常花时间,与能够帮助你明白神心意的人在一起读经祷告。 

  代下 15:3> 不信神,致使恶行“代代相传”──这给犹大国什么鉴戒? 

  15:3 亚撒利雅说北国以色列不信真神。犹大王亚撒在位的四十一年间,以色列有八位君王全都是恶的。头一个君王耶罗波安开了设立偶像的先河,又逐出神的祭司( 11:13-15 )。亚撒利雅援引以色列的历史作为鉴戒警告犹大人,如果效法北国人所行的偏离神的话,灾祸也必会临到他们。 

  代下 15:7> 寻求神的路虽然艰辛,神却会厚赐祝福与鼓励,让我们不致灰心…… 

  15:7 亚撒利雅鼓励犹大人继续行善,“因你们所行的必得赏赐”。这也是对我们的鼓励。表扬与赏赐为人带来动力,具有双重的意义:( 1 )今生的好处:照着神的心意而活,能在今生今世得称许;( 2 )永世的益处:在来世会得到永恒赏赐。如果你对神赤忠,今生在地上没有得到赏赐的话,不要灰心,最好的赏赐不在今生,而在于来世。 

  代下 15:14-15> 犹大人重新寻求真神,便带来全民的复兴与平安──你说我也可以得到这种平安?只要── 

  15:14-15 许多人觉得难以专心一意献身于任何事业。他们凡事犹疑不定、怕负责任。亚撒和犹大人却不是这样,他们清楚坚定地顺从神。他们吹号而欢呼,郑重起誓效忠神,这种坚定不移的决心讨神喜悦,使全国得享太平。如果你想有平安,你要检讨自己在什么地方还未完全交托给神。把你的生命全部交托给神,平安也就伴随而来。 

  代下 15:16> 自古忠孝难两全,我应当如何取舍? 

  15:16 神的十诫吩咐我们当孝敬父母,但是亚撒王却贬了祖母太后的位。孝敬父母固然是神的命令,对神忠诚更属第一位的。主耶稣警告我们,孝敬父母并不能成为藉口,拦阻我们去跟从祂(参路 14:26 )。如果你有不信主的父母,仍须孝敬他们,不过你必须尊主为大,优先考虑神的事。──《灵修版圣经注释》
