旧约 - 历代记下(2 Chronicles)第16章

In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
Asa then took the silver and gold out of the treasuries of the LORD'S temple and of his own palace and sent it to Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus.
"Let there be a treaty between me and you," he said, "as there was between my father and your father. See, I am sending you silver and gold. Now break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so he will withdraw from me."
Ben-Hadad agreed with King Asa and sent the commanders of his forces against the towns of Israel. They conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim and all the store cities of Naphtali.
When Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah and abandoned his work.
Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and timber Baasha had been using. With them he built up Geba and Mizpah.
At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him: "Because you relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
Were not the Cushites and Libyans a mighty army with great numbers of chariots and horsemen? Yet when you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your hand.
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war."
Asa was angry with the seer because of this; he was so enraged that he put him in prison. At the same time Asa brutally oppressed some of the people.
The events of Asa's reign, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the LORD, but only from the physicians.
Then in the forty-first year of his reign Asa died and rested with his fathers.
They buried him in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier covered with spices and various blended perfumes, and they made a huge fire in his honor.
历代志下第十六章   第 16 章 

  代下 16:7-10> 当灵性软弱时,第一个反应往往便是不再依靠神,而依靠外在可见的力量…… 

  16:7-10 犹大与以色列两个国家一直学不到倚靠神的功课。神虽一再拯救他们胜过强敌( 13:3-17 ; 14:9-15 ),他们却再三寻求异教民族的帮助。亚撒寻求亚兰人援助,就是犹大国灵性败落的证据。过往他单单靠神的保护,在战场上打败古实军队,但现在他对神失去信心,只想用人的计谋来解决危机。先知哈拿尼来责备他,他竟将先知下狱,显明他信仰的光景。尽人事来解决问题并不为过,但是只倚靠人力过于神的指教,以为人的道路高过神的道路,这就是得罪神。 

  代下 16:12> 为什么亚撒身患重疾却没有寻求神的医治?对于为病患中的人祷告,我该持什么态度? 

  16:12 这里抨击亚撒求医诊治,并不是反对医药给人的帮助,过错在于他毫不理会神的帮助,当时盛行的医术,乃是迷信加上土方,我们要避免采用源于异教崇拜、似是而非的疗法。亚撒的经历启示我们,一方面接受常规的治疗,同时也能按照新约的教导,靠祷告得蒙医治(参雅 5:14 )。 

  代下 16:14> 16:14 停尸间是放置棺木或尸首的台架,俗语称为寿凳或冷凳。──《灵修版圣经注释》
