旧约 - 撒母耳记上(1 Samuel)第27章

But David thought to himself, "One of these days I will be destroyed by the hand of Saul. The best thing I can do is to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will give up searching for me anywhere in Israel, and I will slip out of his hand."
So David and the six hundred men with him left and went over to Achish son of Maoch king of Gath.
David and his men settled in Gath with Achish. Each man had his family with him, and David had his two wives: Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail of Carmel, the widow of Nabal.
When Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he no longer searched for him.
Then David said to Achish, "If I have found favor in your eyes, let a place be assigned to me in one of the country towns, that I may live there. Why should your servant live in the royal city with you?"
So on that day Achish gave him Ziklag, and it has belonged to the kings of Judah ever since.
David lived in Philistine territory a year and four months.
Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites and the Amalekites. (From ancient times these peoples had lived in the land extending to Shur and Egypt.)
Whenever David attacked an area, he did not leave a man or woman alive, but took sheep and cattle, donkeys and camels, and clothes. Then he returned to Achish.
When Achish asked, "Where did you go raiding today?" David would say, "Against the Negev of Judah" or "Against the Negev of Jerahmeel" or "Against the Negev of the Kenites."
He did not leave a man or woman alive to be brought to Gath, for he thought, "They might inform on us and say, 'This is what David did.'" And such was his practice as long as he lived in Philistine territory.
Achish trusted David and said to himself, "He has become so odious to his people, the Israelites, that he will be my servant forever."
撒母耳记上第廿七章   第 27 章 

  撒上 27:1-3> 怎样理解大卫投靠非利士人的事? 

  27:1-3 这是大卫第二次逃入非利士人境内躲避扫罗(第一次记载于 21:10-15 )。以前杀败非利士人的英雄大卫,现在竟要求迦特王亚吉的恩准来保护他。大卫在这个王面前曾经装疯,亚吉可能已忘了这件事,或者因大卫目前的窘境而忽略了。亚吉必定知道大卫与扫罗的分裂,因而他乐意庇护以色列的叛国者,也可能指望大卫与跟随他的六百人能在军事上支持他。大卫使亚吉相信他侵夺了以色列的地,假意表示对非利士人的首领忠诚,更进一步地坚固他在亚吉王面前的地位。 

  撒上 27:4> 扫罗为何不再寻索大卫? 

  27:4 扫罗终于不再寻索大卫了。他的兵力还不足以攻入非利士人的境内去捉一个人。除此以外,大卫既然不在境内,对他的王位也就没有直接的威胁了。 

  撒上 27:5-7> 大卫怎样在纷乱的情势中智慧地求存? 

  27:5-7 亚吉是非利士五个有权势的王之一。大卫可能想搬出这个主要城市,以避免可能发生的冲突,免得他的家族受到攻击,也可能想逃避非利士官员对他的监视。亚吉让他搬到洗革拉居住,他在那里一直住到扫罗驾崩(参撒下 2:1 )。 

  撒上 27:8-9> 大卫为何要灭绝这些人? 

  27:8-9 大卫可能采取游击战去侵夺这些地方,因为这三个部族是以奇袭和残酷对待无辜居民着称。住在旷野的这些部族不但会危害非利士人,更会危害到以色列人──大卫将来要统治的人民。 

  撒上 27:10-12> 明明是打外邦人,却说成是打以色列…… 

  27:10-12 大卫向亚吉所作的虚假报告对不对?他实在是撒了谎,但是他可能认为与异教仇敌争战,战略上这样行也未尝不可。他自知有一天要作以色列人的王。非利士人仍然是他的仇敌,不过就目前来说.这是他逃避扫罗的最好地方。亚吉叫他与以色列人争战,他表示同意,再一次对非利士人表示忠诚( 28:1 及以下各节)。我们不知道他究竟会否真的与扫罗的军队作战,但是我们可以深信,他最终的效忠对象不是亚吉,也不是扫罗,乃是神。──《灵修版圣经注释》
