撒母耳记下第10章

《圣经》撒母耳记下-第10章

撒下10:1 此后，亚扪人的王死了，他儿子哈嫩接续他作王。 (串)本章1-19代上19:1-19

†[吕]此后亚扪人的王死了，他的儿子哈嫩接替他作王。

†[思]此后，阿孟子民的君王死了，他的儿子哈农继位为王。

†[当代]亚扪王死了，他的儿子哈嫩继位为王。

†[新译]后来，亚扪人的王死了，他的儿子哈嫩继承他作王。

†[Wlb]厥后、亚扪族王没、其子哈嫩嗣位、

†[Xdv]过了一些时候，亚扪的拿辖王死了；他的儿子哈嫩继位。

†[Kjv]And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

†[Nkjv]It happened after this that the king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.

†[BBE]Now after this, death came to the king of the children of Ammon, and Hanun, his son, became king in his place.

†[GNT] Some time later King Nahash of Ammon died, and his son Hanun became king.

†[NIV]In the course of time, the king of the Ammonites died, and his son Hanun succeeded him as king.

本会注释　　王。代上19:1相应的记载说他叫拿辖（代上19:1）。约在50年前，有一位名叫拿辖的亚扪统治者曾为占领基列雅比与扫罗打了一仗（撒上11:1-11）。有可能扫罗时代的拿辖与大卫时代的拿辖是同一个人。作王50年虽然不同寻常但不是不可思议的。这里记录的事件几乎不可能发生在晚于大卫作王的中期，因为所罗门可能是在大卫通奸并与亚扪人作战后两年左右出生的（撒下12:24）。他作王时已经有一个一岁的儿子了（王上11:42；14:21）。

撒下10:2 大卫说：“我要照哈嫩的父亲拿辖厚待我的恩典厚待哈嫩。”于是大卫差遣臣仆，为他丧父安慰他。大卫的臣仆到了亚扪人的境内。 (串)撒上11:1

†[吕]大卫说：“我要以厚爱待拿辖的儿子哈嫩，如同他父亲以厚爱待我一样。于是大卫差遣臣仆做代表为哈嫩父亲的丧事去慰问他。大卫的臣仆到了亚扪人的地方。

†[思]达味心想：“我要善待纳哈士的儿子哈农，像他父亲善待我一样。”于是达味派自己的臣仆去慰问他，追悼他的父亲。当达味的臣仆来到阿孟子民国内时，

†[当代]大卫说：“我要恩待哈嫩，就好像他父亲从前恩待我一样。”于是，他便派了臣仆去安慰哈嫩应该节哀顺变。不料，大卫的臣仆来到亚扪境内的时候，

†[新译]大卫说：“我要恩待拿辖的儿子哈嫩，像他父亲恩待我一样。”于是大卫差派自己的臣仆，为他丧父的事安慰他。大卫的臣仆到了亚扪人境内时，

†[Wlb]大卫曰、昔哈嫩父拿辖施仁慈于我、今我将施仁慈于其子哈嫩、遂遣仆往、唁其丧父、大卫仆至亚扪族地、

†[Xdv]大卫说：“我要对哈嫩表示友好，像他父亲拿辖对我友好一样。”因此大卫派遣使臣前往吊丧。当他们到的时候，

†[Kjv]Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

†[Nkjv]Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.

†[BBE]And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, as his father was a friend to me. So David sent his servants, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

†[GNT] King David said, "I must show loyal friendship to Hanun, as his father Nahash did to me." So David sent messengers to express his sympathy. When they arrived in Ammon,

†[NIV]David thought, "I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father. When David's men came to the land of the Ammonites,

本会注释　　厚待。如果厚待大卫的拿辖就是曾被扫罗击败的拿辖（撒上11:1-11）的话，这似乎是可能的（撒下10:1,2），那么拿辖在大卫逃离扫罗期间善待大卫就容易理解了（见《先祖与先知》714页）。

撒下10:3 但亚扪人的首领对他们的主哈嫩说：“大卫差人来安慰你，你想他是尊敬你父亲吗？他差臣仆来不是详察窥探、要倾覆这城吗？”

†[吕]但是亚扪人的首领对他们的主上哈嫩说：“大卫差遣慰问者到你这里来，你看、他是敬重你父亲么？大卫差遣他的臣仆到你这里来、岂不是窥察侦探、来倾覆这城么？”

†[思]阿孟子民的公卿，对他们的主上哈农说：“达味派人来慰问你，你想他是为尊敬你的父亲吗？达味派臣仆到你这来，岂不是来调查、探听、破坏城池吗？”

†[当代]亚扪的官长便对哈嫩说：“大卫派人来慰问你，你想他是真的尊敬你父亲吗？他不过是来探究侦察，想倾覆我们罢了。”

†[新译]亚扪人的众领袖对他们的主哈嫩说：“大卫差派这些慰问的人到你这里来，你以为他是尊敬你父亲吗？他派遣臣仆到你这里来，不是为了要窥探这城，侦察清楚，然后把城倾覆吗？”

†[Wlb]亚扪族之牧伯谓其主哈嫩曰、大卫遣唁者诣尔、尔意大卫果敬尔父乎、大卫遣仆诣尔、讵非窥察此城、而倾之耶、

†[Xdv]亚扪人的领袖对哈嫩王说：“你以为大卫派这些人来是为尊敬先王、向你表示哀悼吗？当然不是！他派这些人到这里来是要侦察这城的虚实，好征服我们！”

†[Kjv]And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to

†[Nkjv]And the princes of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David really honors your father because he has sent comforters to you? Has David not rather sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it

†[BBE]But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father by sending comforters to you? has he not sent his servants to go through the town and make secret observation of it, and overcome it?

†[GNT] the Ammonite leaders said to the king, "Do you think that it is in your father's honor that David has sent these men to express sympathy to you? Of course not! He has sent them here as spies to explore the city, so that he can conquer us!"

†[NIV]the Ammonite nobles said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think David is honoring your father by sending men to you to express sympathy? Hasn't David sent them to you to explore the city and spy it out and overthrow it?"

本会注释　　差人来安慰。大卫派遣特使带着善意去亚扪，但是他的动机却被误会了。拿辖从未做过大卫的真朋友，只是因为大卫也是扫罗的敌人才厚待他。亚扪人憎恨希伯来人，并轻视对真神的敬拜。现在他们不能理解大卫差遣特使来访的真正善意。他最好的愿望被误解了，他的动机被披上一层虚伪的色彩。亚扪首领们的话是不真实的，一定会引起麻烦。

撒下10:4 哈嫩便将大卫臣仆的胡须剃去一半，又割断他们下半截的衣服，使他们露出下体，打发他们回去。 (串)赛20:4

†[吕]哈嫩便拿大卫的臣仆、将他们的胡须剃掉了一半，又把他们的衣裳割断半截、到臀部，然后把他们于走。

†[思]哈农遂拿住达味的臣仆，将他们的胡须剃去一半，又将他们下半截衣服割去，直到臀部；然后放他们走了。

†[当代]哈嫩听信他们的话，因此，他就派人拿住大卫的臣仆，剃去他们一半子，割断他们下半截的衣服，露出他们的下体来，然后把他们赶走。

†[新译]于是哈嫩拿住大卫的臣仆，把他们的胡须剃去一半，又把他们的外袍割去半截，露出臀部，然后才放他们走。

†[Wlb]哈嫩遂执大卫仆、薙其须之半、中断其衣至臀、而遣之归、

†[Xdv]哈嫩就逮捕了大卫派来的使臣，把他们的胡子剃掉一半，把他们的衣服从臀部割断，然后驱逐他们出境。

†[Kjv]Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.

†[Nkjv]Therefore Hanun took David's servants, shaved off half of their beards, cut off their garments in the middle, at their buttocks, and sent them away.

†[BBE]So Hanun took David's servants, and after cutting off half the hair on their chins, and cutting off the skirts of their robes up to the middle, he sent them away.

†[GNT] Hanun seized David's messengers, shaved off one side of their beards, cut off their clothes at the hips, and sent them away.

†[NIV]So Hanun seized David's men, shaved off half of each man's beard, cut off their garments in the middle at the buttocks, and sent them away.

本会注释　　剃去。这种凌辱不会被以色列轻易接受。身为使节，人身就不受侵犯在列国之中乃是公理。亚扪人对大卫的使节施加这种无礼的侮辱，就是在公开挑战。他们警惕大卫实力的增长已有一段时间，现在可能认定算帐的日子到了。但是他们没有自己发动战争，而是企图通过这一事件，使人觉得他们是受了攻击和侵犯，以便得到邻邦的同情。
　　割断他们的衣服。大卫的使节显然穿着长袍。割断这些外袍的下半截，使穿着者受到羞辱与嘲笑，和剃去他们的胡须是同样的侮辱。侮辱使节就是侮辱他们所代表的国家。

撒下10:5 有人告诉大卫，他就差人去迎接他们，（因为他们甚觉羞耻），告诉他们说：“可以住在耶利哥，等到胡须长起再回来。”

†[吕]有人告诉大卫，大卫就打发人去迎接他们；因为那些人非常羞耻，王就说：“可以住在耶利哥，等到你们的胡须长起来了再回来。”

†[思]有人把这事告诉了达味，王遂打发人去迎接他们，因为这些人很觉羞耻；王便吩咐他们说：“你们暂且留在耶里哥，等胡须长起后再回来。”

†[当代]消息传到大卫那里，他就马上派人去接他们，因为这些臣仆实在给人羞辱得太厉害了。

†[新译]有人告诉大卫，他就派人去迎接他们，因为他们非常羞耻。王就说：“你们可以住在耶利哥，等到你们的胡须长长了才回来。”

†[Wlb]其人深以为耻、或以告大卫、乃遣人迎之曰、可居耶利哥、俟须长而后归、

†[Xdv]这些人受辱，觉得很羞耻，不敢回去。大卫听到这事，就叫人通知他们留在耶利哥，等胡子长长了再回来。

†[Kjv]When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

†[Nkjv]When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."

†[BBE]When David had news of it, he sent men out with the purpose of meeting them on their way, for the men were greatly shamed: and the king said, Go to Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.

†[GNT] They were too ashamed to return home. When David heard about what had happened, he sent word for them to stay in Jericho and not return until their beards had grown again.

†[NIV]When David was told about this, he sent messengers to meet the men, for they were greatly humiliated. The king said, "Stay at Jericho till your beards have grown, and then come back."

本会注释　　住在耶利哥。胡须被认为是尊严所不可少的，否则刮光胡须就能解决问题了。这些人从东边过约旦河就会抵达耶利哥。虽然耶利哥被约书亚毁灭了，但可能有一个小居住区在著名的耶利哥泉边发展起来了（见书6:26）。约一个世纪之后，在亚哈作王期间，伯特利人希伊勒重建了耶利哥（王上16:34）。

撒下10:6 亚扪人知道大卫憎恶他们，就打发人去，招募伯利合的亚兰人和琐巴的亚兰人，步兵二万，与玛迦王的人一千、陀伯人一万二千。 (串)士18:28|撒下8:3,5|书13:11,13|士11:3,5

†[吕]亚扪人见自己成了大卫所厌恶的，就打发人去雇伯利合的亚兰人和琐巴的亚兰人、步兵二万，又雇了玛迦王一千人、和陀伯人一万二千人。

†[思]阿孟子民见自己在达味跟前惹下仇恨，便遣人去，向贝特勒曷布和祚巴的阿兰人雇了两万步兵，向玛阿加君王雇了一千人，向托布人雇了一万二千人。

†[当代]亚扪人知道大卫怒火难平，便派人到伯利合和琐巴去招兵买马；结果招募了两万名亚兰步兵，此外，还有一千名玛迦人和一万二千名陀伯人。

†[新译]亚扪人知道大卫憎恶他们，就派人去招募伯利合的亚兰人和琐巴的亚兰人，步兵二万，玛迦王的人一千，陀伯人一万二千。

†[Wlb]亚扪族知己为大卫所恶、遂遣人募伯利合与琐巴之亚兰人、步卒二万、及玛迦王所偕之人一千、陀伯人一万二千、

†[Xdv]亚扪人知道他们已经跟大卫结怨，就从伯利合和琐巴招募两万叙利亚步兵，从陀伯招募一万两千人，又从玛迦王那里雇来一千人。

†[Kjv]And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.

†[Nkjv]When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves repulsive to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand foot soldiers; and from the king of Maacah one thousand men, and from Ish-

†[BBE]And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, they sent to the Aramaeans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, and got for payment twenty thousand footmen, and they got from the king of Maacah a thousand men, and from Tob twelve thou

†[GNT] The Ammonites realized that they had made David their enemy, so they hired twenty thousand Syrian soldiers from Bethrehob and Zobah, twelve thousand men from Tob, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men.

†[NIV]When the Ammonites realized that they had become a stench in David's nostrils, they hired twenty thousand Aramean foot soldiers from Beth Rehob and Zobah, as well as the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and also twelve thousand men from Tob.

本会注释　　招募。据代上19:6，哈嫩支付1,000他连得银子雇了马兵和战车。花这么一大笔钱招募军队来支持亚扪，预示着这场危机的严重性。对亚扪人来说，它意味着对以色列发动全面战争。他们想要粉碎大卫的军队，并一劳永逸地消除希伯来人统治西亚的威胁。
　　伯利合。直译是“街屋”，在第8节中被称为“利合”。在代上19:6的相应记载中为“米索不大米亚”。其准确地点不详。
　　琐巴。见@撒下8:3@注释。
　　玛迦王。（见代上19:7）。它的位置见申3:14；书12:5。可能是一个较小的亚兰人王国，因为它只提供1,000人。
　　陀伯人。这个地方在《历代志》的相应记录中没有提到。耶弗他被迫离开基列时曾逃到陀伯（士11:3）。它的位置不详；可能在基列拉末的东北。
　　一万二千。从陀伯雇来12,000人，从伯利合与琐巴雇来20,000人，总计就是32,000人。《历代志》提供的数字是战车的总数，也许指马兵（代上19:7）。此外，《历代志》还提到玛迦人，但没有说明数目。显然这32,000雇佣兵包括战车部队、骑兵和步兵。

撒下10:7 大卫听见了，就差派约押统带勇猛的全军出去。 (串)撒下23:8-39

†[吕]大卫听见了，就差派约押带着全队勇士出去。

†[思]达味听说这事，便派出约阿布和全队士兵和勇士。

†[当代]大卫听见这风声，就派约押率领勇猛善战的大军出战。

†[新译]大卫听见了，就差派约押和全体勇士出去。

†[Wlb]大卫闻之、则遣约押率勇士全军、

†[Xdv]大卫得到报告，就命令约押率领全军出击。

†[Kjv]And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

†[Nkjv]Now when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army of the mighty men.

†[BBE]And hearing of this, David sent Joab and all the army and the best fighting-men.

†[GNT] David heard of it and sent Joab against them with the whole army.

†[NIV]On hearing this, David sent Joab out with the entire army of fighting men.

本会注释　　大卫听见了。亚扪人已经招募了一支强大的军队，决心要粉碎大卫。从东方和北方传来的消息是有大军临近以色列边境，威胁着要消灭以色列国。大卫没有坐等他的国家被侵略，而是派约押去迎击前来的军队。

撒下10:8 亚扪人出来，在城门前摆阵；琐巴与利合的亚兰人、陀伯人，并玛迦人，另在郊野摆阵。

†[吕]亚扪人出来，在城门外摆阵；琐巴和利合的亚兰人跟陀伯人玛迦人另外在野地里摆阵。

†[思]阿孟子民出来，在城门前摆了阵，祚巴和勒曷布的阿兰人和托布人与玛阿加人，分别在田野间摆了阵。

†[当代]亚扪人在城门前摆好阵势；琐巴和利合的亚兰人、陀伯人和玛迦人就在田野布阵。

†[新译]亚扪人出来，在城门前摆阵，琐巴和利合的亚兰人，陀伯人和玛迦人，也分别在郊野摆阵。

†[Wlb]亚扪族出、列陈于邑门、琐巴利合之亚兰人、及陀伯人、玛迦人、别列于野、

†[Xdv]亚扪人进军，以拉巴城的隘口为据点；其它的叙利亚军和从陀伯、玛迦来的人就在郊外布阵。

†[Kjv]And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

†[Nkjv]Then the people of Ammon came out and put themselves in battle array at the entrance of the gate. And the Syrians of Zoba, Beth Rehob, Ish-Tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field.

†[BBE]And the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position at the way into the town: and the Aramaeans of Zobah and of Rehob, with the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

†[GNT] The Ammonites marched out and took up their position at the entrance to Rabbah, their capital city, while the others, both the Syrians and the men from Tob and Maacah, took up their position in the open countryside.

†[NIV]The Ammonites came out and drew up in battle formation at the entrance to their city gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.

本会注释　　在城门前。没有提进行这次战役的城市名称。可能是亚扪人的首都拉巴（或“拉巴亚扪”，见@撒下12:26-29@注释）。拉巴靠近雅博河的源头，在约旦东边36.8公里。现名安曼，是约旦的首都。雇佣军已经前进到了米底巴（代上19:7），在拉巴西南28.8公里，耶利哥东南36.8公里。亚扪人直接扎营在城前，而他们的盟军却分成了几支军队，扎营在距城有一定距离处，那里的地面更适于机动运用战车和骑兵。

撒下10:9 约押看见敌人在他前后摆阵，就从以色列军中挑选精兵，使他们对着亚兰人摆阵。

†[吕]约押见前后都有战阵摆着，就从以色列所有的精兵中挑选了一些来，把他们摆好了阵、以便对亚兰人接战。

†[思]约阿布见自己前后受敌，就由以色列劲旅中，选一队精兵摆阵进攻阿兰人，

†[当代]约押知道自己前后受敌，就从以色列军中挑选了一队精英，负责对付亚兰人，

†[新译]约押看见自己前后受敌，就从以色列所有的精兵中，挑选一部分出来，使他们摆阵去迎战亚兰人，

†[Wlb]约押见其前后列陈、则简以色列之精兵、陈列行伍、以御亚兰人、

†[Xdv]约押看出敌军会从前后两面夹攻，就挑选以色列最精锐的部队，叫他们摆阵进攻叙利亚军，

†[Kjv]When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:

†[Nkjv]When Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel's best and put them in battle array against the Syrians.

†[BBE]Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took the best of the men of Israel and put them in line against the Aramaeans;

†[GNT] Joab saw that the enemy troops would attack him in front and from the rear, so he chose the best of Israel's soldiers and put them in position facing the Syrians.

†[NIV]Joab saw that there were battle lines in front of him and behind him; so he selected some of the best troops in Israel and deployed them against the Arameans.

本会注释　　挑选精兵。挑出最优秀的以色列士兵来攻打亚兰人，因为他们的战车和骑兵构成了敌军的最强大的部分。约押亲自统帅这些精兵。
　　摆阵。约押审视战局，发现自己夹在首都前面摆阵的亚扪人，和西南面亚扪人的盟军之间。无论他进攻哪一支军队，都会有另一支军队在他后面。敌军的这种部署既有优势又有危险。富有经验的约押以敏锐的眼目看透了全局。他开始与分成两部分的敌军作战。为了防止受到后方的袭击，他把自己的部队分成了两部分，一支攻打亚扪人，另一支攻打他们的盟军

撒下10:10 其余的兵交与他兄弟亚比筛，对着亚扪人摆阵。

†[吕]却把其余的兵众交在他兄弟亚比筛手下，使他摆阵、去对亚扪人接战。

†[思]将其馀的军队，交给自己的兄弟阿彼瑟指挥，叫他列阵进攻阿孟子民，

†[当代]余下的人便交给他的兄弟亚比筛领导，负责对抗亚扪人。

†[新译]他把其余的人交在他兄弟亚比筛手下，使他们摆阵去迎战亚扪人。

†[Wlb]以余军付弟亚比筛、陈列行伍、以御亚扪族、

†[Xdv]把其余的队伍交给他弟弟亚比筛率领。亚比筛调这批军队摆阵进攻亚扪人。

†[Kjv]And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.

†[Nkjv]And the rest of the people he put under the command of Abishai his brother, that he might set them in battle array against the people of Ammon.

†[BBE]And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon, with Abishai, his brother, at their head.

†[GNT] He placed the rest of his troops under the command of his brother Abishai, who put them in position facing the Ammonites.

†[NIV]He put the rest of the men under the command of Abishai his brother and deployed them against the Ammonites.

撒下10:11 约押对亚比筛说：“亚兰人若强过我，你就来帮助我；亚扪人若强过你，我就去帮助你。

†[吕]约押说：“亚兰人若强过我，你就来救我；亚扪人若强过你，我就去救你。

†[思]并对他说：“若我打不下阿兰人，你就来援助我；若你打不下阿孟子民，我就来援助你。

†[当代]约押对亚比筛说：“假如我胜不过亚兰人，你便过来支援我；假如你胜不过亚扪人，我便过去营救你。

†[新译]约押对亚比筛说：“如果亚兰人比我强，你就来帮助我。如果亚扪人比你强，我就去帮助你。

†[Wlb]曰、如亚兰人强于我、尔则助我、如亚扪人强于尔、我则助尔、

†[Xdv]约押对亚比筛说：“如果你看见叙利亚人打败我，就过来救援；如果亚扪人打败你，我就过去帮助你。

†[Kjv]And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.

†[Nkjv]Then he said, "If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.

†[BBE]And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then you are to come to my help; but if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.

†[GNT] Joab said to him, "If you see that the Syrians are defeating me, come and help me, and if the Ammonites are defeating you, I will go and help you.

†[NIV]Joab said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to come to my rescue; but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come to rescue you.

本会注释　　你就来帮助我。战斗彼此很接近。约押和亚比筛的军队可以互相支援。敌军就不是这样了。兄弟俩知道可以彼此依靠。如果形势吃紧，每一方都知道立即会得到帮助。

撒下10:12 我们都当刚强，为本国的民和上帝的城邑作大丈夫。愿耶和华凭他的意旨而行！” (串)申31:6林前16:13撒上4:9|撒上3:18

†[吕]你只要刚强；我们都要为我们的人民和我们的上帝的城市（或译：上帝的柜）而奋勇；愿永恒主按他所看为好的而行。”

†[思]要勇敢奋斗，为了我们的民族，为了我们天主的城池，我们应奋斗！愿上主成就他认为好的事！”

†[当代]我们要奋力作战！为了我们的人民和上帝的城镇，我们要奋勇作战！愿主成全祂自己的旨意！”

†[新译]你要刚强；为了我们的人民和我们　神的众城镇，我们要刚强！愿耶和华成全他看为美的事。”

†[Wlb]宜强乃志、尔我当为我民、及我上帝邑、为大丈夫、愿耶和华成其所欲、

†[Xdv]要勇敢坚强！为我们的同胞和上帝的城镇奋力战斗！愿上主成全他的旨意！”

†[Kjv]Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.

†[Nkjv]Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the LORD do what is good in His sight."

†[BBE]Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.

†[GNT] Be strong and courageous! Let's fight hard for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the Lord's will be done!"

†[NIV]Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight."

本会注释　　当刚强。这种局势需要勇气。以色列国的生存处于危险之中。强大的顽敌正对着他们摆阵。约押率领部队在两支敌军之间作战需要极大的胆识。他很容易被包围，受到两面的夹击。
　　上帝的。这是耶和华的事业。以色列是上帝的子民。巴勒斯坦是上帝的土地。这是上帝应许给他们的土地。以色列是为耶和华而战。

撒下10:13 于是，约押和跟随他的人前进攻打亚兰人；亚兰人在约押面前逃跑。

†[吕]于是约押和跟随的兵众往前进、去攻打亚兰人；亚兰人竟从约押面前逃跑了。

†[思]然后约阿布和跟随他的军队，向前进攻阿兰人，阿兰人就在他们前逃走了。

†[当代]于是，约押和他的军兵节节逼近亚兰人，敌人在他面前四散逃跑。

†[新译]于是约押和与他在一起的人前进，攻击亚兰人；亚兰人在约押面前逃跑。

†[Wlb]约押与所偕之民、进与亚兰人战、亚兰人遁于其前、

†[Xdv]约押和他的部队向前攻打；叙利亚人败逃。

†[Kjv]And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.

†[Nkjv]So Joab and the people who were with him drew near for the battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.

†[BBE]Then Joab and the people with him went forward to the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.

†[GNT] Joab and his men advanced to attack, and the Syrians fled.

†[NIV]Then Joab and the troops with him advanced to fight the Arameans, and they fled before him.

本会注释　　住在耶路撒冷。把米非波设留在耶路撒冷可能有两个目的。这既是一个安全措施也是出于特别的尊荣。与大卫其余的儿子们一起住在宫中并且经常与他们结交，会使米非波设与大卫更亲密，并确保大卫家与扫罗家和平快乐的关系。要是米非波设出于邪恶的本性，拒绝忠诚地回应对他的恩待，他在宫中就会不断处于监视之下，并远离大卫的仇敌们的影响。他们可能希望煽动叛乱。当大卫逃离押沙龙时，从洗巴所说的话可以看出反叛的可能性并非不存在。这个仆人对大卫控告说：由于不稳定的局势，他的主人盼望恢复扫罗家的国（见撒下16:1-4；19:24-30）。
　　是瘸的。因为腿瘸，米非波设无法在押沙龙篡位时离开耶路撒冷。正因为他留在耶路撒冷，使得控告他不忠的话似乎显得有道理（撒下16:3；19:25-27）。

撒下10:14 亚扪人见亚兰人逃跑，他们也在亚比筛面前逃跑进城。约押就离开亚扪人那里，回耶路撒冷去了。

†[吕]亚扪人见亚兰人逃跑了，他们也就从亚比筛面前逃跑，进城去。约押便从亚扪人那里回来，到了耶路撒冷。

†[思]阿孟子民见阿兰人逃走，他们也在阿彼瑟前逃走，退入城中。约阿布便不再进攻阿孟子民，回了耶路撒冷。

†[当代]亚扪人看见亚兰人逃命，他们也逃回城里去了。约押并没有乘胜追击，就带著大军回耶路撒冷去。

†[新译]亚扪人看见亚兰人逃跑，他们也在亚比筛面前逃跑，逃进城里去了。约押就从亚扪人那里回来，回到耶路撒冷去了。

†[Wlb]亚扪族见亚兰人遁、亦遁于亚比筛前、而入于邑、约押遂离亚扪族、返耶路撒冷、

†[Xdv]亚扪人看见叙利亚人已经逃跑，他们也逃避亚比筛，退回城里去。于是约押离开亚扪人的战场，回到耶路撒冷。

†[Kjv]And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

†[Nkjv]When the people of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai, and entered the city. So Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went to Jerusalem.

†[BBE]And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, and came into the town. So Joab went back from fighting the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.

†[GNT] When the Ammonites saw the Syrians running away, they fled from Abishai and retreated into the city. Then Joab turned back from fighting the Ammonites and went back to Jerusalem.

†[NIV]When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans were fleeing, they fled before Abishai and went inside the city. So Joab returned from fighting the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.

本会注释　　他们也逃跑。亚扪人与他们的盟军一样胆怯。要是亚兰人胜利了，亚扪人才会前去与亚比筛作战。但是当亚兰人逃走时，他们的勇气也就消失了，他们胜利的希望也随之破灭了。
　　进城。他们在城门扎营可能是因为万一局势不利，他们便可以就地撤退。在这种情况下，抱着这样的精神，他们不可能尽其全力。
　　约押就离开亚扪人那里，回耶路撒冷去了。约押不可能继续他的胜利。亚兰人与他们的马兵战车很容易逃脱，而亚扪人也可以得到他们城墙的保护。只有长期高代价的围攻才能使他们就范。大卫似乎没有准备这么做。

撒下10:15 亚兰人见自己被以色列人打败，就又聚集。

†[吕]亚兰人见自己在以色列人面前被击败了，就再集合为一。

†[思]阿兰人见自己为以色列打败，便再联合起来。

†[当代]亚兰人眼见自己惨败在以色列人手下，便再联合起来。

†[新译]亚兰人见自己被以色列人击败，就再聚集起来。

†[Wlb]亚兰人见己为以色列所败、则咸集焉、

†[Kjv]And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.

†[Nkjv]When the Syrians saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered together.

†[BBE]And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they got themselves together.

†[GNT] The Syrians realized that they had been defeated by the Israelites, and so they called all their troops together.

†[NIV]After the Arameans saw that they had been routed by Israel, they regrouped.

本会注释　　又聚集。约押的胜利并没有结束这场战争。以色列军队撤回耶路撒冷给了敌军重新作战的机会。

撒下10:16 哈大底谢差遣人，将大河那边的亚兰人调来；他们到了希兰，哈大底谢的将军朔法率领他们。 (串)撒下8:3,5王上11:23|代上19:16

†[吕]哈大底谢差遣人将大河那边的亚兰人调出来；他们到了希兰，有哈大底谢的将军朔法在他们前面率领着。

†[思]哈达德则尔派人去，将大河那边的阿兰人也调来，都到了赫蓝，由哈达德则尔的元帅芍巴客率领。

†[NIV]Hadadezer had Arameans brought from beyond the River ; they went to Helam, with Shobach the commander of Hadadezer's army leading them.

本会注释　　哈大利谢。或哈大底谢（见@撒下8:3@注释），是琐巴王（撒下8:3）。
　　大河。就是幼发拉底河。亚兰王因军队的失败而懊恼，现在他为自己而战斗了。先前亚兰人只是作为受雇的援军，但是现在他们决心战斗，以恢复他们所丧失的声誉了。哈大底谢的影响力越过幼发拉底河，进入了后来属于显然亚述的领土，并从那里调集援军加强他的兵力。
　　希兰。约旦河东边的一座城（17节），其确切位置不详。可能是阿力玛（《马加比上》5:26），现在是`Alma，在加利利东部的浩兰地区，或在靠近雅博的埃兰姆。

撒下10:17 有人告诉大卫，他就聚集以色列众人，过约但河，来到希兰。亚兰人迎着大卫摆阵，与他打仗。

†[吕]有人告诉大卫，大卫就聚集了以色列众人，过约们河来到希兰。亚兰人摆好了阵迎接大卫，同他交战。

†[思]达味一得了情报，就调集所有的以色列人，渡过约但河，来到赫蓝。阿兰人遂列阵进攻达味，与他交战。

†[当代]这事传到大卫那里，大卫就召集以色列大军，渡过约旦河，来到希兰。当时，亚兰人已经摆好阵势，准备迎战。

†[新译]有人告诉了大卫，他就聚集所有的以色列人，渡过约旦河，来到了希兰。亚兰人摆好了阵迎击大卫，与他交战。

†[Wlb]或告大卫、遂集以色列众、济约但、至希兰、亚兰人列陈、与大卫战、

†[Xdv]大卫知道了，就调动以色列军队，渡过约旦河，往希兰，就是叙利亚人向着大卫布阵的地方进军。战斗一开始，

†[Kjv]And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.

†[Nkjv]When it was told David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle array against David and fought with him.

†[BBE]And word of this was given to David: and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam. And the Aramaeans put their forces in position against David, and made an attack on him.

†[GNT] When David heard of it, he gathered the Israelite troops, crossed the Jordan River, and marched to Helam, where the Syrians took up their position facing him. The fighting began,

†[NIV]When David was told of this, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan and went to Helam. The Arameans formed their battle lines to meet David and fought against him.

本会注释　　聚集以色列众人。这是大卫作王时最严重的一次危机。以色列受到了毁灭的威胁。撒但在影响列国发动这次进攻，为要毁灭以色列。大卫亲自率领他的军队，并集中了全国的力量来应付这局势。

撒下10:18 亚兰人在以色列人面前逃跑；大卫杀了亚兰七百辆战车的人，四万马兵，又杀了亚兰的将军朔法。 (串)代上19:18

†[吕]亚兰人从以色列人面前逃跑；大卫杀了亚兰七百辆战车的人马，四万马兵，又击杀了亚兰的军长朔法、使他死在那里。

†[思]阿兰人在以色列面前溃退。达味击杀了阿兰人的七百匹拉车的马，和四万马兵；又攻击了他们的元帅芍巴客，他便死在那。

†[当代]但结果亚兰人又败在以色列人手下，四散逃命。大卫杀了七百名驾战车的亚兰战士，四万马兵，连他们的大将朔法也杀掉。

†[新译]亚兰人却在以色列人面前逃跑。大卫杀了亚兰七百名驾驶战车的军兵，四万骑兵。又击杀了亚兰军队的将军朔法，他就死在那里。

†[Wlb]亚兰人遁于以色列众前、大卫戮其战车七百乘之卒、骑兵四万、击其军长朔法、致死于彼、

†[Xdv]以色列人就击退叙利亚人。大卫和他的部队杀了七百个赶战车的人和四万骑兵，又伤了敌军的统帅朔法；他后来死在战场上。

†[Kjv]And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.

†[Nkjv]Then the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand horsemen of the Syrians, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, who died there.

†[GNT] and the Israelites drove the Syrian army back. David and his men killed seven hundred Syrian chariot drivers and forty thousand cavalry, and they wounded Shobach, the enemy commander, who died on the battlefield.

†[NIV]But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers. He also struck down Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.

本会注释　　四万马兵。代上19:18为“四万步兵。”这里没有本质上的矛盾，因为被杀的人包括马兵和步兵。《撒母耳记》的作者强调马兵，而《历代志》的作者则强调步兵。两个兵种都在场并且都是主力。这是一场决定性的失败，使大卫的仇敌在他作王的余下时间，以及所罗门作王的时期无法东山再起。
　　杀了亚兰的将军朔法。当时将军是与他们的士兵一同作战的。他们本人冒着同样的危险并且经常遭受同样的命运。亚哈就是这样在与亚兰人作战时被杀死的（王上22:34-37）。约西亚也是如此在米吉多被埃及王尼哥杀死的（王下23:29）。

撒下10:19 属哈大底谢的诸王见自己被以色列人打败，就与以色列人和好，归服他们。于是亚兰人不敢再帮助亚扪人了。 (串)撒下8:5,6

†[吕]臣服于哈大底谢的众王见自己在以色列人面前被击败了，就跟以色列人讲和，臣服于他们。于是亚兰人惧怕、不再救助亚扪人了。

†[思]所有臣属哈达德则尔的王子，一见自己败于以色列，便与以色列讲和，臣服于他们；从此阿兰人再不敢援助阿孟子民了。

†[当代]所有效忠哈大底谢的王眼见自己人被以色列人杀得落花流水，就只有向以色列人求和，臣服大卫。从此，亚兰人再也不敢支援亚扪人了。

†[新译]所有臣服于哈大底谢的王看见自己被以色列人打败，就与以色列人议和，臣服于他们。于是亚兰人害怕，不敢再帮助亚扪人了。

†[Wlb]臣服哈大底谢之诸王、见其为以色列所败、遂与以色列修好、而服事之、嗣后亚兰人不敢助亚扪族、

†[Xdv]哈大底谢属下诸王看见自己被以色列人打败，就跟以色列讲和，归顺他们。以后叙利亚人不敢再帮亚扪人打仗。

†[Kjv]And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.

†[Nkjv]And when all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians were afraid to help the people of Ammon anymore.

†[BBE]And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their servants. So the Aramaeans, in fear, gave no more help to the children of Ammon.

†[GNT] When the kings who were subject to Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israelites, they made peace with them and became their subjects. And the Syrians were afraid to help the Ammonites any more.

†[NIV]When all the kings who were vassals of Hadadezer saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with the Israelites and became subject to them. So the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites anymore.

本会注释　　属哈大底谢的。从这句话可以略知哈大利谢（哈大底谢）的大权势。那些曾向哈大利谢进贡的附属国现在转而效忠大卫并向他进贡了。上帝曾藉着亚伯拉罕（创15:18）和摩西（申11:24）预言以色列的统治将延伸到幼发拉底河，这些预言现在应验了。以色列成了周围列国要认真对付的一个强大势力。曾摆阵与以色列作对的国家已经被制服了。消灭大卫的努力反而增强了他的能力和声望。没有任何针对上帝或祂子民的武器能够成功。尽管会有考验与艰难的时期，上帝的圣工却必在每一考验中获胜。
　　亚兰人不敢。大卫是成功的，因为他决非信靠人的力量。亚扪曾寻求亚兰的帮助，但大卫却寻求上帝的帮助。上帝的子民可能会想，他们有时必须倚靠世界的能力与影响，以便完成他们的任务。但是他们常常因与世界不圣洁的结盟而使自己的计划遭到失败。当以色列初次面对强国大联合的列阵攻击时，许多人心中充满了恐惧。但当战斗结束时，以色列的敌人就有理由恐惧了。亚兰人发现在帮助亚扪人反对以色列的努力中，他们从事的是一场没有希望的战斗，是在与上帝作战。
