旧约 - 历代记下(2 Chronicles)第2章

Solomon gave orders to build a temple for the Name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
He conscripted seventy thousand men as carriers and eighty thousand as stonecutters in the hills and thirty-six hundred as foremen over them.
Solomon sent this message to Hiram king of Tyre: "Send me cedar logs as you did for my father David when you sent him cedar to build a palace to live in.
Now I am about to build a temple for the Name of the LORD my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense before him, for setting out the consecrated bread regularly, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening and on Sabbaths and New Moons and at the appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.
"The temple I am going to build will be great, because our God is greater than all other gods.
But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him? Who then am I to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
"Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, and in purple, crimson and blue yarn, and experienced in the art of engraving, to work in Judah and Jerusalem with my skilled craftsmen, whom my father David provided.
"Send me also cedar, pine and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your men are skilled in cutting timber there. My men will work with yours
to provide me with plenty of lumber, because the temple I build must be large and magnificent.
I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil."
Hiram king of Tyre replied by letter to Solomon: "Because the LORD loves his people, he has made you their king."
And Hiram added: "Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth! He has given King David a wise son, endowed with intelligence and discernment, who will build a temple for the LORD and a palace for himself.
"I am sending you Huram-Abi, a man of great skill,
whose mother was from Dan and whose father was from Tyre. He is trained to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, and with purple and blue and crimson yarn and fine linen. He is experienced in all kinds of engraving and can execute any design given to him. He will work with your craftsmen and with those of my lord, David your father.
"Now let my lord send his servants the wheat and barley and the olive oil and wine he promised,
and we will cut all the logs from Lebanon that you need and will float them in rafts by sea down to Joppa. You can then take them up to Jerusalem."
Solomon took a census of all the aliens who were in Israel, after the census his father David had taken; and they were found to be 153,600.
He assigned 70,000 of them to be carriers and 80,000 to be stonecutters in the hills, with 3,600 foremen over them to keep the people working.
历代志下第二章   第 2 章 

  代下 2:1> 大卫甘于扮演预备建圣殿的角色。我对我的事奉之成果的期待,是否与神对我的心意相称? 

  2:1 大卫曾经筹谋,想为神建圣殿(参撒下 7:1-29 ),但神不允其所请,因为他曾带兵打仗;神让其子所罗门建造圣殿,而只准大卫为圣殿立下规划、作好准备(参代上 23-26 ; 28:11-13 )。大卫买了一块地(参撒下 24:18-25 ),贮备了建殿的各种材料(参代上 22:1 , 14-16 ),并且从神领受了殿的样式(参代上 28:11-12 ),而负责实现这计划的则是所罗门。因他父亲尽心竭力地筹划一切,所罗门的工作才变得轻松,老一代为年轻一代铺好路,神的工作就可以更快向前推进。

  代下 2:3-12> 大卫、所罗门和希兰交往,除了木材外,还有深意;要…… 

  2:3-12 希兰虽然与大卫和所罗门友好邦交,但他的国家却敬拜多神。希兰乐意将建殿的材料供应给以色列,大卫与所罗门都使用这个机会见证这位独一的真神。 

  代下 2:5-6> 敬拜是信仰生活的核心,今天我用了多少时间与心力在敬拜神上? 

  2:5-6 应当尽力建造美好舒适的地方作敬拜之用,使神得荣耀,作为神与祂荣耀的见证;同时我们也必须记住,神不会局限在人手建造的殿宇或环境之中,祂比所有的建筑物都伟大!所以我们不要只看重敬拜的场所,更该注重以灵和诚实敬拜祂。 

  代下 2:7> 在与非信徒合作工作时,要留意些什么? 

  2:7 所罗门为什么征用外国的巧匠?以色列人虽然精于农耕,对冶金术却所知不多,所以他要从外国引进人材。利用世上的专才来配合神的工作,并不是犯罪。神照祂的拣选,将天赋的才干分赐给不同的人,也赐给非基督徒各种天分。我们雇用非基督徒为我们工作的时候,要认识到神是随己意赐人才能的。同时我们也要找机会向他们传扬神的救恩。 

  代下 2:8-9> 以色列为什么需要从黎巴嫩进口木材? 

  2:8-9 以色列出产的木材不多,但沿海的小国黎巴嫩却拥有最好的香柏木树林。黎巴嫩又从以色列输入许多粮食,这两国君王立下互惠的贸易协定。 

  代下 2:17-18> 以色列对待境内的外族人的态度怎样?合乎圣经的道德要求吗? 

  2:17-18 所罗门为什么强迫境内的外族人做奴工?这些人原是外族异教徒的后裔,在约书亚的时代未被完全赶出(参书 9:23-27 ;士 1:21-33 ;王上 9:20-21 )。圣经对公平对待奴仆定有明文(参利 25:39-55 ),所以所罗门不像其他国家对异族那样严酷。所罗门的法令只是在建殿期生效。──《灵修版圣经注释》
