旧约 - 士师记(Judges)第12章

The men of Ephraim called out their forces, crossed over to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, "Why did you go to fight the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We're going to burn down your house over your head."
Jephthah answered, "I and my people were engaged in a great struggle with the Ammonites, and although I called, you didn't save me out of their hands.
When I saw that you wouldn't help, I took my life in my hands and crossed over to fight the Ammonites, and the LORD gave me the victory over them. Now why have you come up today to fight me?"
Jephthah then called together the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. The Gileadites struck them down because the Ephraimites had said, "You Gileadites are renegades from Ephraim and Manasseh."
The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a survivor of Ephraim said, "Let me cross over," the men of Gilead asked him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he replied, "No,"
they said, "All right, say 'Shibboleth.'" If he said, "Sibboleth," because he could not pronounce the word correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed at that time.
Jephthah led Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in a town in Gilead.
After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem led Israel.
He had thirty sons and thirty daughters. He gave his daughters away in marriage to those outside his clan, and for his sons he brought in thirty young women as wives from outside his clan. Ibzan led Israel seven years.
Then Ibzan died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
After him, Elon the Zebulunite led Israel ten years.
Then Elon died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
After him, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, led Israel.
He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. He led Israel eight years.
Then Abdon son of Hillel died, and was buried at Pirathon in Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
士师记第十二章   第 12 章 

  士 12:1-6> 对不讲道理的人也不能讲道理,你说是不是有道理? 

  12:1-6 以色列人刚刚打了一场大胜仗,本应有喜乐,不料却有忿怒争吵。以法莲支派的人因为耶弗他没有召集他们去争战(不过耶弗他说,他曾请求他们协助)就忿怒嫉妒。他们的辱骂激怒了耶弗他,他便召聚军队争战,杀了他们四万二千人。 

  耶弗他通常是先礼后兵的,但这一次竟迅速地报复,使以色列人受到重大损失,这本是可以避免的。在我们觉得被撇下、受轻视的时候,嫉妒、侮辱别人是不应当有的反应;但是受了侮辱后报复同样不对,常会两败俱伤。 

  耶弗他的胜利 

  士 12:4-7> 同是面对以法莲人的指责,耶弗他和基甸,谁的做法高明? 

  12:4-7 以法莲支派的人对耶弗他发难,正如对基甸一样( 8:1-3 )。耶弗他派人守住位于边境上的约旦河渡口,以便在以法莲人渡河时击杀他们。他们用试验口音的方法,辨认来人是否为以法莲人。 

  耶弗他 

  士 12:8-15> 又有三位士师被一带而过…… 

  12:8-15 我们对于这三位士师,和他们的重要性所知甚少。有许多儿女和牲畜,表示他们富有。──《灵修版圣经注释》
