旧约 - 申命记(Deuteronomy)第20章

When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you.
When you are about to go into battle, the priest shall come forward and address the army.
He shall say: "Hear, O Israel, today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not be terrified or give way to panic before them.
For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory."
The officers shall say to the army: "Has anyone built a new house and not dedicated it? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else may dedicate it.
Has anyone planted a vineyard and not begun to enjoy it? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else enjoy it.
Has anyone become pledged to a woman and not married her? Let him go home, or he may die in battle and someone else marry her."
Then the officers shall add, "Is any man afraid or fainthearted? Let him go home so that his brothers will not become disheartened too."
When the officers have finished speaking to the army, they shall appoint commanders over it.
When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace.
If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you.
If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city.
When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it.
As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies.
This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes.
Completely destroy them--the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites--as the LORD your God has commanded you.
Otherwise, they will teach you to follow all the detestable things they do in worshiping their gods, and you will sin against the LORD your God.
When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it to capture it, do not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can eat their fruit. Do not cut them down. Are the trees of the field people, that you should besiege them?
However, you may cut down trees that you know are not fruit trees and use them to build siege works until the city at war with you falls.
申命记第二十章   第 20 章 

  申 20:1> 神与我同在吗?特别是在我面对攻击时? 

  20:1 我们有时和以色列人一样,会面对难挡的反对势力,无论是在学校、工作场所,甚至在家庭里,都会觉得孤单无援。神叫百姓记住,祂常常与他们同在,并且已救他们脱离极大的危险,叫他们别失去信心。想到神能胜过最凶恶的仇敌,我们即使面对强敌,也会感到安全。 

  申 20:13-18> 满有怜悯又公平的神,怎能吩咐将人口众多的城邑全然毁灭呢? 

  20:13-18 神这样行,是为着保护祂的子民,使他们免犯拜偶像之罪,这种罪确实会使以色列人败亡( 20:18 )。正是因为以色列人没有依照神的吩咐,彻底除灭那些邪恶的百姓,后来就不住地受他们压迫。假使他们从一开始就依从神的命令,除灭那些人的话,就不会有后来的流血与毁灭。 

  申 20:20> 古时中东的城邑有哪些建筑特点? 

  20:20 考古学家在迦南地发掘出许多坚固城邑的遗迹。有些城墙有九公尺高,有堡垒、壕沟与了望楼。以色列人惯于在平原野战,所以必须学习新战略,好攻取深沟高垒的城邑。──《灵修版圣经注释》
