列王纪上第20章

《圣经》列王纪上-第20章

王上20:1 亚兰王便哈达聚集他的全军，率领三十二个王，带着车马上来围攻撒玛利亚； (串)王上15:18王下6:24;8:7|本章16王上22:31|王上16:24

†[吕]亚兰王便哈达集合了他的全军，又有三十二个王跟着他，以及马匹车辆：他上来围困撒玛利亚，攻打那城。

†[思]阿兰王本哈达得召集了自己所有的军队，带同叁十二个王子，乘坐战马战车，前去围攻撒玛黎雅。

†[当代]有一天，亚兰王便哈达召集全军，联同三十二个王，带著车马围攻撒马利亚，

†[新译]亚兰王便哈达聚集他的全军，有三十二个王与他在一起，他带着战马和战车，上去围困撒玛利亚，攻打那城。

†[Wlb]亚兰王便哈达集其全军、有三十二王偕之、统率车骑、上围撒玛利亚、攻之、

†[Xdv]叙利亚的便哈达王召集他所有的军队，率领他属下的三十二个王和他们的战车、战马出征，去围攻撒马利亚。

†[Kjv]And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.

†[Nkjv]Now Ben-Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his forces together; thirtytwo kings were with him, with horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria, and made war against it.

†[BBE]Now Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got all his army together, and thirty-two kings with him, and horses and carriages of war; he went up and made war on Samaria, shutting it in.

†[GNT] King Benhadad of Syria gathered all his troops, and supported by thirty-two other rulers with their horses and chariots, he marched up, laid siege to Samaria, and launched attacks against it.

†[NIV]Now Ben-Hadad king of Aram mustered his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he went up and besieged Samaria and attacked it.

本会注释　　便哈达。本章的内容和风格与《列王纪》的大部分材料大不相同。它提供了一幅当时政治生活重要有趣的画面。便哈达成为强有力的君主，在当时的西亚各统治者中站主导地位。亚述的历史记录也证明了这一点。以便哈达为主的西部联盟曾与撒缦以色三世在卡尔卡尔交战（见第34节注释）。
　　三十二个王。这些都是叙利亚小城邦的首领。他们都承认大马士革的宗主权。
　　车马。没有给出数字。卡尔卡尔战役中，据说便哈达拥有一千二百战车，一千二百马兵，两万步兵。这里可以和亚哈的两千战车和一万步兵作一比较。

王上20:2 又差遣使者进城见以色列王亚哈，对他说：“便哈达如此说：

†[吕]他差遣使者进城来见以色列王亚哈，

†[思]他先派使者进城，来见以色列王阿哈布，

†[当代]他遣使进城去对以色列王亚哈传话说：

†[新译]他派遣一些使者进城去见以色列王亚哈，对他说：“便哈达这样说：

†[Wlb]遣使入城、见以色列王亚哈曰、便哈达云、

†[Xdv]他派使者们到城里去告诉以色列王亚哈说：“便哈达王要

†[Kjv]And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,

†[Nkjv]Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, "Thus says Ben-Hadad:

†[BBE]And he sent representatives into the town to Ahab, king of Israel;

†[GNT] He sent messengers into the city to King Ahab of Israel to say, "King Benhadad demands that

†[NIV]He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, saying, "This is what Ben-Hadad says:

王上20:3 你的金银都要归我，你妻子儿女中最美的也要归我。”

†[吕]对他说：“便哈达这么说：‘你的银子、金子、都是我的；连你的妻子们、你儿女中最美的也都是我的。’”

†[思]对他说：“本哈达得这样说：你的金银全应归我，只是你的妻子儿女，仍归於你。”

†[当代]“你的金银要归我所有，你家中最美的妻妾儿女都要归我。”

†[新译]‘你的银子，你的金子都是我的；你的妻子和你最健壮的儿女也是我的。’”

†[Wlb]尔之金银属我、尔妻孥之佳者亦属我、

†[Xdv]你交出金子、银子、你的妻妾，和你最健壮的儿女。”

†[Kjv]Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.

†[Nkjv]"Your silver and your gold are mine; your loveliest wives and children are mine."'

†[BBE]And they said to him, Ben-hadad says, Your silver and your gold are mine; and your wives and children are mine.

†[GNT] you surrender to him your silver and gold, your women and the strongest of your children."

†[NIV]Your silver and gold are mine, and the best of your wives and children are mine.' "

本会注释　　圣经的历史记录往往比较简洁，因此我们不知道便哈达为什么提出这样的要求。这可能是亚兰国对亚哈军事胜利的继续，或更有可能是便哈达希望亚哈承认他宗主的地位，并使以色列成为亚兰的附庸国。

王上20:4 以色列王回答说：“我主我王啊，可以依着你的话，我与我所有的都归你。”

†[吕]以色列王回答说：“我主我王阿，就依着你的话都归你吧，我和我所有的一切都归于你。”

†[思]以色列王回答说：“我主大王，就依照你的话，我和我的一切都归於你。”

†[当代]亚哈在寡不敌众的情况之下，就只好屈服说：“大王在上，微臣谨遵圣旨，我和我所有的都归陛下好了。”

†[新译]以色列王回答说：“我主我王啊，就照着你所说的，我和我所有的一切都可以归你。”

†[Wlb]以色列王曰、我主我王欤、我与所有、咸属于尔、如尔所言、

†[Xdv]亚哈回答：“请告诉我主便哈达王，我答应他。我和我所有的一切都可以给他。”

†[Kjv]And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.

†[Nkjv]And the king of Israel answered and said, "My lord, O king, just as you say, I and all that I have are yours."

†[BBE]And the king of Israel sent him an answer saying, As you say, my lord king, I am yours with all I have.

†[GNT] "Tell my lord, King Benhadad, that I agree; he can have me and everything I own," Ahab answered.

†[NIV]The king of Israel answered, "Just as you say, my lord the king. I and all I have are yours."

本会注释　　亚哈的回答带有抚慰和谦卑的语气。他心里害怕。要么在曾经的较量中他被便哈达打败，要么他没有勇气应战。

王上20:5 使者又来说：“便哈达如此说：我已差遣人去见你，要你将你的金银、妻子、儿女都给我。

†[吕]使者再来说：“便哈达这么说：‘我已经差遣了人去对你说：你要把你的银子、金子、你的妻子们和儿女们、都给我；

†[思]不料，使者们又回来说：“本哈达得这样说：我已派人通知你：将你的金银和你的妻子儿女全交给我。

†[当代]其后，使臣又来传达亚兰王更苛刻的要求，说：“我先前派人通知你，要你把金银、妻妾和儿女献给我，

†[新译]那些使者再来说：“便哈达这样说：‘我曾经差派人对你说：你要把你的银子，你的金子，你的妻子和你的儿女都给我。

†[Wlb]使者复至、曰、便哈达云、我已遣人曰、必以尔之金银妻孥、悉付于我、

†[Xdv]不久，使者们又回来，带着便哈达另外的要求说：“我已经告诉你，你要把你的金银、妻妾，和儿女交给我。

†[Kjv]And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;

†[Nkjv]Then the messengers came back and said, "Thus speaks Ben-Hadad, saying, "Indeed I have sent to you, saying, "You shall deliver to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children";

†[BBE]Then the representatives came back again, and said, These are the words of Ben-hadad: I sent to you saying, Give up to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children;

†[GNT] Later the messengers came back to Ahab with another demand from Benhadad: "I sent you word that you were to hand over to me your silver and gold, your women and your children.

†[NIV]The messengers came again and said, "This is what Ben-Hadad says: 'I sent to demand your silver and gold, your wives and your children.

王上20:6 但明日约在这时候，我还要差遣臣仆到你那里，搜查你的家和你仆人的家，将你眼中一切所喜爱的都拿了去。” (串)结24:16,21,25

†[吕]明天大约这时候、我还要差遣我的臣仆到你那里，搜查你的家、和你仆人的家，将你所看为可爱的东西都下手拿了来。’”

†[思]须知，明天这时，我必派我的仆人到你这里来，搜索你和你仆人的房屋，凡他们看中的东西，都要随手拿去。”

†[当代]但明天这个时候，我会派人来搜查王宫和你臣仆的府邸，你喜欢的一切，他们都要全部拿走。”

†[新译]明天大约这个时间，我要差派我的臣仆到你那里去；他们要搜查你的王宫和你臣仆的家；凡是他们看为宝贵的，他们都要下手拿走。’”

†[Wlb]惟明日斯时、我将遣我臣仆、遍索尔宫、与尔臣仆之室、凡尔目所悦者、必取之而去、

†[Xdv]可是，现在我要派我的臣仆到你的王宫和你大臣的家里搜查，所有他们（希伯来文是：你）认为值钱的东西都要拿走。他们明天这个时候就到那里。”

†[Kjv]Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.

†[Nkjv]but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants. And it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hands and take it."'

†[BBE]But I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, to make a search through your house and the houses of your people, and everything which is pleasing in your eyes they will take away in their hands.

†[GNT] Now, however, I will send my officers to search your palace and the homes of your officials, and to take everything they consider valuable. They will be there about this time tomorrow."

†[NIV]But about this time tomorrow I am going to send my officials to search your palace and the houses of your officials. They will seize everything you value and carry it away.' "

本会注释　　这样的要求无疑是雪上加霜。亚哈已经谦卑地承认，他的金子，银子，甚至他的家人都归亚兰王所有。但现在的要求是要立即搜查他在撒玛利亚的王宫和他的家，要求投降者一切所有的都被受降者任意掠夺。这意味着无条件地屈膝投降。

王上20:7 以色列王召了国中的长老来，对他们说：“请你们看看，这人是怎样地谋害我，他先差遣人到我这里来，要我的妻子、儿女，和金银，我并没有推辞他。” (串)王上21:8,11|王下5:7

†[吕]以色列王把境内的众长老都召了来，对他们说：“你们请想想，请看看，这人是怎样想法子要害我：他先差遣了人来见我，要我的妻子、儿女，和金银，我跟没有推辞他。”

†[思]以色列王将国内所有长老召来，说：“你们想想看：这人的要求是多麽无理！他先派人要我的金银，我没有拒绝他；现在竟又派人来我这里，要我的妻子儿女。”

†[当代]亚哈听了以后，就急忙召集国中的长老商议说：“你们看啊，这人是存心来找麻烦的。他派人来要我的妻妾、孩子和金银，我都答应给他了，现在他却得寸进尺，竟然要进宫室官邸搜掠我们的财物了。”

†[新译]以色列王把国中所有的长老都召了来，对他们说：“请你们想想，看这人怎样的麻烦，他曾经差派人来我这里要我的妻子、我的儿女、我的银子和我的金子，我都没有拒绝他。”

†[Wlb]以色列王召国中之长老曰、请观斯人、如何谋害、遣人诣我、欲取我妻孥金银、我未之辞、

†[Xdv]亚哈王把国内的长老们都召来，对他们说：“你们看，这个人想毁灭我们。他派人来要我的妻妾和儿女、我的金子和银子，我都答应了。”

†[Kjv]Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.

†[Nkjv]So the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, "Notice, please, and see how this man seeks trouble, for he sent to me for my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold; and I did not deny him."

†[BBE]Then the king of Israel sent for all the responsible men of the land, and said, Now will you take note and see the evil purpose of this man: he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, and I did not keep them back.

†[GNT] King Ahab called in all the leaders of the country and said, "You see that this man wants to ruin us. He sent me a message demanding my wives and children, my silver and gold, and I agreed."

†[NIV]The king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said to them, "See how this man is looking for trouble! When he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, I did not refuse him."

本会注释　　谋害。便哈达显然想找借口来掠夺撒玛利亚城。

王上20:8 长老和百姓对王说：“不要听从他，也不要应允他。”

†[吕]众长老和众民对王说：“不要听从他，不要依顺他。”

†[思]众长老和全体人民对他说：“你不要听从，也不要应允！”

†[当代]那些长老大臣听了，就都异口同声地说：“我们不用理他，也不用听从他的。”

†[新译]众长老和人民对王说：“不要听从他，也不要答应他。”

†[Wlb]长老与民众对曰、勿听之、勿允焉、

†[Xdv]所有的长老和人民都说：“不要理他！不要答应他！”

†[Kjv]And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.

†[Nkjv]And all the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen or consent."

†[BBE]And all the responsible men and the people said to him, Do not give attention to him or do what he says.

†[GNT] The leaders and the people answered, "Don't pay any attention to him; don't give in."

†[NIV]The elders and the people all answered, "Don't listen to him or agree to his demands."

王上20:9 故此，以色列王对便哈达的使者说：“你们告诉我主我王说：王头一次差遣人向仆人所要的，仆人都依从；但这次所要的，我不能依从。”使者就去回复便哈达。

†[吕]于是王对便哈达的使者说：“请对我主我王说：‘王头一次差遣人向仆人所要的、我都要照办；惟独这次所要的、我却不能照办。’”使者们就去，将这话去回覆。

†[思]因此，他对本哈达得的使者说：“你们回去告诉我主大王说：你第一次派人向你仆人所要求的，我必全照办；至於这另一要求，我却不能照办。”使者遂回去，向本哈达得回话。

†[当代]于是，亚哈就对使者说：“你们回禀大王，他第一次要求的，仆人可以照办，但这一次的要求就恕难从命了。”使者就出城回覆便哈达去了。

†[新译]于是亚哈对便哈达的使者说：“请你们告诉我主我王说：‘王第一次差派人来向你仆人所要的一切，我都必照办；可是这次所要的，我却不能照办。’”于是使者去了，把这些话回复便哈达。

†[Wlb]王谓便哈达之使曰、反告我主我王曰、尔先遣之使索于仆者、仆愿为之、惟今所索者、我不能为、使者反而复命、

†[Xdv]于是，亚哈回答便哈达的使者们，说：“请告诉我主便哈达王，我答应他第一个要求，但不能答应第二个！”使者们走了，不久又带着

†[Kjv]Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.

†[Nkjv]Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, "Tell my lord the king, "All that you sent for to your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do."' And the messengers departed and brought back word to him.

†[BBE]So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer.

†[GNT] So Ahab replied to Benhadad's messengers, "Tell my lord the king that I agreed to his first demand, but I cannot agree to the second." The messengers left and then returned with another message

†[NIV]So he replied to Ben-Hadad's messengers, "Tell my lord the king, 'Your servant will do all you demanded the first time, but this demand I cannot meet.' " They left and took the answer back to Ben-Hadad.

本会注释　　告诉我主。亚哈拒绝的话尽可能温柔。他继续承认对方的宗主权，认可他的第一次屈服，并且愿意承认自己是亚兰王的“仆人”或奴隶。亚哈表达了他同意遵从第一次接受的条件，但亚兰王第二次的要求他“不能”依从。亚哈想通过这样一种谦和的回答使便哈达采取比较合理的态度。

王上20:10 便哈达又差遣人去见亚哈说：“撒玛利亚的尘土若够跟从我的人每人捧一捧的，愿神明重重的降罚与我！” (串)王上19:2

†[吕]便哈达又差遣人来见亚哈说：“撒玛利亚的尘土若够跟从我的人每人捧一捧的，愿神明这样惩罚我，并且加倍地惩罚。”

†[思]本哈达得於是派人对阿哈布说：“如果撒玛黎雅的尘土，足够跟随我的人每人抓一把，愿众神明严厉，且加倍严厉地惩罚我！”

†[当代]便哈达又派人来恐吓亚哈说：“倘若我不把撒马利亚夷为平地，化为尘土，让跟从我的人每人都可以抓一把，就愿神明重重地惩罚我。”

†[新译]便哈达又差派人去见亚哈说：“撒玛利亚的尘土若是足够跟从我的人每人捧一捧的话，愿神明惩罚我，并且加倍惩罚我。”

†[Wlb]便哈达更遣人曰、撒玛利亚之尘、若足从我之众、各取一掬、则愿诸神罚我维倍、

†[Xdv]便哈达的话回来，说：“我要带无数的人来摧毁撒马利亚。要是城里的尘土足够他们每人抓一把，愿神明惩罚我，击杀我！”

†[Kjv]And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.

†[Nkjv]Then Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, "The gods do so to me, and more also, if enough dust is left of Samaria for a handful for each of the people who follow me."

†[BBE]Then Ben-hadad sent to him, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if there is enough of the dust of Samaria for all the people at my feet to take some in their hands.

†[GNT] from Benhadad: "I will bring enough men to destroy this city of yours and carry off the rubble in their hands. May the gods strike me dead if I don't!"

†[NIV]Then Ben-Hadad sent another message to Ahab: "May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if enough dust remains in Samaria to give each of my men a handful."

本会注释　　便哈达的话含有完全毁灭的威胁和吹嘘自己战无不胜。这句话的意思似乎是跟随亚兰王的人非常多，以致撒玛利亚的尘土都不够他们一人抓一把的。

王上20:11 以色列王说：“你告诉他说，才顶盔贯甲的，休要象摘盔卸甲的夸口。”

†[吕]以色列王回答说：“你们只要说：‘才束上武装的、休要像解掉了的来夸口。’”

†[思]以色列王回答说：“有句俗话说：佩带武器的人，不可像卸去了武器的人那样自负。”

†[当代]亚哈听了就说：“你去告诉便哈达，叫他别刚穿上盔甲便夸口，叫他卸下盔甲才夸口吧。”

†[新译]以色列王回答说：“你们去告诉他，佩戴武器的人，不可像解除武器的那样自夸。”

†[Wlb]以色列王曰、尔告之云、披甲者、勿效卸甲者而夸、

†[Xdv]亚哈王说：“你去告诉便哈达王，真正的战士不在战前吹牛，而是在战后夸口。”

†[Kjv]And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.

†[Nkjv]So the king of Israel answered and said, "Tell him, "Let not the one who puts on his armor boast like the one who takes it off."'

†[BBE]And the king of Israel said in answer, Say to him, The time for loud talk is not when a man is putting on his arms, but when he is taking them off.

†[GNT] King Ahab answered, "Tell King Benhadad that a real soldier does his bragging [after] a battle, not before it."

†[NIV]The king of Israel answered, "Tell him: 'One who puts on his armor should not boast like one who takes it off.' "

本会注释　　亚哈勇敢的回答用希伯来语四个词表达出来，带有俗语的味道。

王上20:12 便哈达和诸王正在帐幕里喝酒，听见这话，就对他臣仆说：“摆队吧！”他们就摆队攻城。 (串)王上16:9

†[吕]便哈达和诸王正在草棚里喝酒，一听见这话，就对臣仆说：“摆队”；他们就摆队攻城。

†[思]本哈达得和众王正在帐内饮酒，一听见这话，就对他的臣仆说：“列队进攻！”他们即刻列队攻城。

†[当代]便哈达和诸王正在营中饮宴的时候，就接到使者带回来的信息，于是，王就吩咐臣仆各就各位，准备攻城。

†[新译]便哈达与众王正在帐棚里喝酒，一听见了这话，就对他的臣仆说：“你们列队进攻。”他们就列队进攻那城。

†[Wlb]便哈达与列王饮于幕、闻所对、则命臣仆曰、列陈、遂列陈攻城、

†[Xdv]便哈达接到亚哈的回复时，他和他的盟友──其它的王正在营帐里喝酒。他下令部属预备攻打撒马利亚。于是他们准备进攻。

†[Kjv]And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.

†[Nkjv]And it happened when Ben-Hadad heard this message, as he and the kings were drinking at the command post, that he said to his servants, "Get ready." And they got ready to attack the city.

†[BBE]Now when this answer was given to Ben-hadad, he was drinking with the kings in the tents, and he said to his men, Take up your positions. So they put themselves in position for attacking the town.

†[GNT] Benhadad received Ahab's answer as he and his allies, the other rulers, were drinking in their tents. He ordered his men to get ready to attack the city, and so they moved into position.

†[NIV]Ben-Hadad heard this message while he and the kings were drinking in their tents, and he ordered his men: "Prepare to attack." So they prepared to attack the city.

本会注释　　便哈达收到回信时正在欢宴。他给部下的命令只有一个词：simu，意思是“摆队吧”。也许亚兰王非常生气惊讶，不愿多说。他对他弱小的希伯来王满不在乎，极为轻蔑。在酒醉的影响下他变得愚蠢卤莽，理智消失，头脑发热。

王上20:13 有一个先知来见以色列王亚哈，说：“耶和华如此说：‘这一大群人你看见了吗？今日我必将他们交在你手里，你就知道我是耶和华。’” (串)本章28王上18:36,39

†[吕]这时忽有一个神言人走近前来见以色列王亚哈说：“这一大队蜂拥军兵你不是都看见了么？看吧，今天我必将他们交在你手里，你就知道我乃是永恒主。”

†[思]这时，忽然有一个先知，来见以色列王阿哈布说：“上主这样说：你不是看见这支强大的军队吗？今天，我要将他们交在你手中，叫你知道我是上主。”

†[当代]一位先知来见以色列王亚哈，将主的话传给他说：“你看见这一大群人吗？今天我必定将他们交在你手里，这样，你就知道我是真神了。”

†[新译]这时，忽然有一个先知前来见以色列王亚哈，说：“耶和华这样说：‘你看见这些强大的军兵吗？看啊，今天我必把他们交在你手里，你就知道我是耶和华。’”

†[Wlb]有先知进见以色列王亚哈曰、耶和华云、此群众、尔见之乎、今日我必付于尔手、尔则知我乃耶和华、

†[Xdv]这时，有一个先知去见亚哈王，对他说：“上主说：‘不要怕那强大的军队！我今天要使你战胜他们，你就知道我是上主。’”

†[Kjv]And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

†[Nkjv]Suddenly a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel, saying, "Thus says the LORD: "Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today, and you shall know that I am the LORD."'

†[BBE]Then a prophet came up to Ahab, king of Israel, and said, The Lord says, Have you seen all this great army? See, I will give it into your hands today, and you will see that I am the Lord.

†[GNT] Meanwhile, a prophet went to King Ahab and said, "The Lord says, "Don't be afraid of that huge army! I will give you victory over it today, and you will know that I am the Lord.' "

†[NIV]Meanwhile a prophet came to Ahab king of Israel and announced, "This is what the Lord says: 'Do you see this vast army? I will give it into your hand today, and then you will know that I am the Lord .' "

本会注释　　一个先知。以色列的局势在迦密山的大日之后可能发生了很大的改变。先知恢复了对全国的影响。
　　我必将他们交在你手中。没有先知的指示，亚哈没有勇气发动进攻。将现在的屈辱变为光荣的胜利，对于亚哈和国内的长老来说意义重大。

王上20:14 亚哈说：“藉着谁呢？”他回答说：“耶和华说，藉着跟从省长的少年人。”亚哈说：“要谁率领呢？”他说：“要你亲自率领。”

†[吕]亚哈说：“藉着谁呢？”他回答说：“永恒主这么说：‘藉着诸省长的侍从官。”亚哈说：“谁要先开战呢？”他说：“就是你。”

†[思]阿哈布问说：“藉着谁？”先知答说：“上主这样说：藉着众省长的少年军人。”阿哈布又问说：“谁指挥作战？”先知答说：“你自己。”

†[当代]亚哈说：“应该让哪一队作先锋呢？”先知说：“主说要派省长属下的青年军作先锋。”“那么，应该让哪一个来作统领呢？”“你来作好了。”

†[新译]亚哈问：“借着谁呢？”先知回答：“耶和华这样说：‘借着跟从各省省长的年轻人。’”亚哈又问：“谁先开战呢？”先知说：“是你。”

†[Wlb]亚哈曰、藉谁乎、曰、耶和华云、藉诸州方伯之少者、曰、谁启战、曰、尔、

†[Xdv]亚哈问：“谁要带头进攻呢？”先知说：“上主说，在各地区省长属下的少壮军人要领先攻打。”王又问：“谁指挥军队的主力呢？”先知说：“是你。”

†[Kjv]And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.

†[Nkjv]So Ahab said, "By whom?" And he said, "Thus says the LORD: "By the young leaders of the provinces."' Then he said, "Who will set the battle in order?" And he answered, "You."

†[BBE]And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, The Lord says, By the servants of the chiefs who are over the divisions of the land. Then he said, By whom is the fighting to be started? And he made answer, By you.

†[GNT] "Who will lead the attack?" Ahab asked. The prophet answered, "The Lord says that the young soldiers under the command of the district governors are to do it." "Who will command the main force?" the king asked. "You," the prophet answered.

†[NIV]But who will do this?" asked Ahab. The prophet replied, "This is what the Lord says: 'The young officers of the provincial commanders will do it.' " "And who will start the battle?" he asked. The prophet answered, "You will."

本会注释　　亚哈在提这个问题时对上帝和祂的先知有一定的信心。国家的命运处于危急关头。作为上帝代言人的先知被国王接受为事实上的总司令。

王上20:15 于是亚哈数点跟从省长的少年人，共有二百三十二名，后又数点以色列的众兵，共有七千名。

†[吕]于是亚哈点阅诸省长的侍从官、有二百三十二名；点了这些人之后、又点阅以色列众人、所有的兵众、有七千名。

†[思]於是阿哈布检阅了众省长的少年人，计有二百叁十二人；然後又检阅了所有军人；即全体以色列子民，共七千人。

†[当代]于是，他就召集了省长属下的二百三十二个青年，此外又在以色列全国军人之中点数了七千人。

†[新译]于是亚哈数点了跟从各省省长的年轻人，共有二百三十二人。以后，他又数点所有的人民，以色列众民共有七千人。

†[Wlb]遂核诸州方伯之少者、得二百三十二人、后核以色列民众、得七千人、

†[Xdv]于是，王召集各地区省长属下的少壮军人共两百三十二名，又召集以色列军队七千人。

†[Kjv]Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.

†[Nkjv]Then he mustered the young leaders of the provinces, and there were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he mustered all the people, all the children of Israel--seven thousand.

†[BBE]Then he got together the servants of all the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land, two hundred and thirty-two of them; and after them, he got together all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand.

†[GNT] So the king called out the young soldiers who were under the district commanders, 232 in all. Then he called out the Israelite army, a total of seven thousand men.

†[NIV]So Ahab summoned the young officers of the provincial commanders, 232 men. Then he assembled the rest of the Israelites, 7,000 in all.

本会注释　　少年人。先知发出指示，王就遵从了。这里的“少年人”可能是一个军事术语，指特种部队。他们装备精良，训练有素，由地方军事长官率领。
　　七千。可能指以色列的常备军。在卡尔卡尔战役中，据说亚哈有一万步兵。

王上20:16 午间，他们就出城；便哈达和帮助他的三十二个王正在帐幕里痛饮。

†[吕]中午时候他们出发了；便哈达和帮助他的那三十二个王、正在草棚里大喝大醉。

†[思]到了中午，他们出发，那时，本哈达得正和协助他的叁十二个王子在帐中饮酒。

†[当代]到了中午时分，亚哈便率领军队出发，那时，便哈达还跟那三十二个王在营里狂饮，喝得酩酊大醉。

†[新译]在正午，便哈达与帮助他的三十二个王正在帐棚里痛饮的时候，他们出发了。

†[Wlb]日中而出、便哈达与助之之三十二王、在幕饮醉、

†[Xdv]中午，正当便哈达和他三十二个盟友在营帐里喝醉酒的时候，攻击开始了。

†[Kjv]And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.

†[Nkjv]So they went out at noon. Meanwhile Ben-Hadad and the thirty-two kings helping him were getting drunk at the command post.

†[BBE]And in the middle of the day they went out. But Ben-hadad was drinking in the tents with the thirty-two kings who were helping him.

†[GNT] The attack began at noon, as Benhadad and his thirty-two allies were getting drunk in their tents.

†[NIV]They set out at noon while Ben-Hadad and the 32 kings allied with him were in their tents getting drunk.

本会注释　　午间。突袭是在中午发动的。这是一天中最热的时候，敌人可能在卸甲休息，根本想不到会遭遇攻击。
　　痛饮。此时便哈达可能正在狂饮酒醉之中，无法正确地评估局势并作出明智的决定。

王上20:17 跟从省长的少年人先出城；便哈达差遣人去探望，他们回报说：“有人从撒玛利亚出来了。”

†[吕]先是诸省长的侍从官先出发；便哈达也早已差遣了人在侦察着；这时候他们就向报告说：“有人从撒玛利亚出来了。”

†[思]众省长的少年军人首先出发，本哈达得派出的探子回报他说：“有人从撒玛黎雅出来了。”

†[当代]青年军率先出击，便哈达的手下看见了，就向便哈达报告说：“有人从城里出来了。”

†[新译]跟从各省省长的年轻人首先出发。便哈达派人去察看，他们回报他说：“有人从撒玛利亚出来了。”

†[Wlb]方伯之少者为前锋、便哈达使窥之、返曰、有人自撒玛利亚出、

†[Xdv]少壮的兵士领先攻击。便哈达派出去的侦查员回报说，有一队敌军从撒马利亚出来。

†[Kjv]And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.

†[Nkjv]The young leaders of the provinces went out first. And Ben-Hadad sent out a patrol, and they told him, saying, "Men are coming out of Samaria!"

†[BBE]And the servants of the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land went forward first; and when Ben-hadad sent out, they gave him the news, saying, Men have come out from Samaria.

†[GNT] The young soldiers advanced first. Scouts sent out by Benhadad reported to him that a group of soldiers was coming out of Samaria.

†[NIV]The young officers of the provincial commanders went out first. Now Ben-Hadad had dispatched scouts, who reported, "Men are advancing from Samaria."

本会注释　　既然突袭是正午发动的，他们的行踪很容易被发觉，不会有出其不意的效果。有人报告说，有一队希伯来人正在向他们靠近。

王上20:18 他说：“他们若为讲和出来，要活捉他们；若为打仗出来，也要活捉他们。”

†[吕]他说：“他们若是为讲和而出来的，要活捉着他们；若是为交战而出来的，也要活捉着他们。”

†[思]他遂吩咐说：“如果他们前来，是为求和，将他们活活捉住；如果他们前来，是为交战，也将他们活活捉住。”

†[当代]便哈达回答说：“无论他们是来求和或是来挑战的，都给我生擒回来吧！”

†[新译]便哈达说：“如果他们是为了求和出来，你们要活捉他们；如果他们是为了争战出来，你们也要活捉他们。”

†[Wlb]曰、彼出、或欲修和、或欲战鬬、当生执之、

†[Xdv]他就下令：“活捉他们！不管他们是来打仗或是来求和的。”

†[Kjv]And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.

†[Nkjv]So he said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive; and if they have come out for war, take them alive."

†[BBE]And he said, If they have come out for peace, take them living, and if they have come out for war, take them living.

†[GNT] He ordered, "Take them alive, no matter whether they are coming to fight or to ask for peace."

†[NIV]He said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive; if they have come out for war, take them alive."

本会注释　　便哈达狂傲地下令将这些希伯来人全部活捉。不论是和谈，投降，还是作战，都要将他们生擒。

王上20:19 跟从省长的少年人出城，军兵跟随他们；

†[吕]于是这些人、诸省长的侍从官和跟随着他们的军兵、就都出城。

†[思]众省长的少年军人和跟随他们的军队冲出城来，

†[当代]青年军奋勇出城，大军就紧随在后，

†[新译]从城里出来的这些人，就是跟从各省省长的年轻人，军兵跟在他们后面。

†[Wlb]方伯之少者出城、军旅从其后、

†[Xdv]少壮的兵士带头攻打；以色列军队跟在后面。

†[Kjv]So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.

†[Nkjv]Then these young leaders of the provinces went out of the city with the army which followed them.

†[BBE]So the servants of the chiefs of the divisions of the land went out of the town, with the army coming after them.

†[GNT] The young soldiers led the attack, followed by the Israelite army,

†[NIV]The young officers of the provincial commanders marched out of the city with the army behind them

王上20:20 各人遇见敌人就杀。亚兰人逃跑，以色列人追赶他们；亚兰王便哈达骑着马和马兵一同逃跑。

†[吕]各人都击杀自己的对手；亚兰人逃跑，以色列人追赶他们；亚兰王便哈达骑着马、和一些马兵一同逃走。

†[思]个个见人便杀，阿兰人逃走，以色列人在後面乘势追赶；阿兰王本哈达得急速上马与骑兵一起逃走。

†[当代]他们见人就杀，把亚兰人杀得片甲不留，他们又乘势追击，吓得便哈达狼狈地策马奔逃，他的马兵也跟他一起逃命了。

†[新译]他们各人遇见对手就杀。亚兰人逃跑，以色列人追赶他们。亚兰王便哈达骑着马，与一些骑兵一起逃走。

†[Wlb]各杀其敌、亚兰人遁、以色列人追之、亚兰王便哈达乘马、与骑兵遁而获免、

†[Xdv]每一个人都杀死了对手。叙利亚人逃跑，以色列人在后面穷追。便哈达骑着马，跟几个骑兵一起逃走。

†[Kjv]And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.

†[Nkjv]And each one killed his man; so the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the cavalry.

†[BBE]And every one of them put his man to death, and the Aramaeans went in flight with Israel after them; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got away safely on a horse with his horsemen.

†[GNT] and each one killed the man he fought. The Syrians fled, with the Israelites in hot pursuit, but Benhadad escaped on horseback, accompanied by some of the cavalry.

†[NIV]and each one struck down his opponent. At that, the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-Hadad king of Aram escaped on horseback with some of his horsemen.

本会注释　　他们与敌人近身肉搏。亚兰人外围警戒的弓箭手和标枪手也许暂时还可以抵挡一下，但就整个战局而言，为时已晚。敌人大大惊恐，转身逃跑了。

王上20:21 以色列王出城攻打车马，大大击杀亚兰人。

†[吕]以色列王出去，夺取马匹和车辆，大大击杀了亚兰人。

†[思]那时，以色列王出来，掳掠了许多战马和战车，使阿兰人大败。

†[当代]这一次，亚哈王亲自出击，击杀了许多亚兰人。

†[新译]以色列王出来，攻打战马和战车，大大地击败了亚兰人。

†[Wlb]以色列王出邑、击亚兰车骑、大戮其众、

†[Xdv]亚哈王一直追到郊外，夺取了战车和马匹，大败叙利亚人。

†[Kjv]And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.

†[Nkjv]Then the king of Israel went out and attacked the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.

†[BBE]And the king of Israel went out and took the horses and the war-carriages, and made great destruction among the Aramaeans.

†[GNT] King Ahab took to the field, captured the horses and chariots, and inflicted a severe defeat on the Syrians.

†[NIV]The king of Israel advanced and overpowered the horses and chariots and inflicted heavy losses on the Arameans.

本会注释　　亚哈王有很精良的战车装备，他前去攻击亚兰人的战车马兵，而后者对希伯来人的攻击丝毫没有防备，结果是亚兰全军彻底溃败。

王上20:22 那先知来见以色列王，对他说：“你当自强，留心怎样防备；因为到明年这时候，亚兰王必上来攻击你。”

†[吕]那神言人走近前来见以色列王，对他说：“来！你奋勇自强吧；你要明白、要看清楚你所要作的；因为到了年头、亚兰王必上来攻击你。”

†[思]那位先知前来对以色列王说：“你要发奋图强，留心认清你当作的事，因为明年春季，阿兰王必要再来攻击你。”

†[当代]先知又来见亚哈王说：“你要加强防卫，作充分的准备，因为明年亚兰王必定卷土重来。”

†[新译]那先知前来见以色列王，对他说：“你要自强，留意看看你所要预备的，因为明年春天亚兰王必再上来攻击你。”

†[Wlb]先知进见以色列王曰、往哉、自强、慎尔所为、岁月既周、亚兰王必来攻尔、

†[Xdv]后来，先知去见亚哈王，说：“回去扩建你的军力，仔细地计划，因为叙利亚王明年春天一定会再来攻打你。”

†[Kjv]And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.

†[Nkjv]And the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him, "Go, strengthen yourself; take note, and see what you should do, for in the spring of the year the king of Syria will come up against you."

†[BBE]Then the prophet came up to the king of Israel, and said to him, Now make yourself strong, and take care what you do, or a year from now the king of Aram will come up against you again.

†[GNT] Then the prophet went to King Ahab and said, "Go back and build up your forces and make careful plans, because the king of Syria will attack again next spring."

†[NIV]Afterward, the prophet came to the king of Israel and said, "Strengthen your position and see what must be done, because next spring the king of Aram will attack you again."

本会注释　　以色列的官方年历似乎是从春天的尼散月（见本卷注释138页）开始的。这正是米所波大米亚和巴勒斯坦诸王每年交战的时候，因此被称为“列王出战的时候”（撒下11:1）。耶和华指示亚哈要防备亚兰人次年雨季结束之后的进攻。

王上20:23 亚兰王的臣仆对亚兰王说：“以色列人的神是山神，所以他们胜过我们；但在平原与他们打仗，我们必定得胜。 (串)本章28

†[吕]亚兰王的臣仆对亚兰王说：“以色列人的神是山神，故此他们胜过我们；但我们要在平原上跟他们交战，就一定胜过他们。

†[思]阿兰王的臣仆对阿兰王说：“以色列的神是山神，所以他们比我们强；但如果我们在平原上与他们交战，我们必会得胜。

†[当代]亚兰王战败以后，他的臣宰便献议说：“以色列人的神是山神，所以，这一次他们占了上风，倘若下一次我们在平原上跟他们交锋，我们必定可以占优势。

†[新译]亚兰王的臣仆对亚兰王说：“以色列人的神是山神，所以他们比我们强；但我们若是在平原上与他们争战，我们必比他们强大。

†[Wlb]亚兰王臣仆谓之曰、彼之神、乃山岳之神、故强于我、当在平原与战、则我必强于彼、

†[Xdv]便哈达的臣仆对他说：“以色列的神是山神，所以以色列人打败了我们。可是，如果我们在平原跟他们作战，我们一定会打败他们的。

†[Kjv]And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.

†[Nkjv]Then the servants of the king of Syria said to him, "Their gods are gods of the hills. Therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them in the plain, surely we will be stronger than they.

†[BBE]Then the king of Aram's servants said to him, Their god is a god of the hills; that is why they were stronger than we: but if we make an attack on them in the lowlands, we will certainly be stronger than they.

†[GNT] King Benhadad's officials said to him, "The gods of Israel are mountain gods, and that is why the Israelites defeated us. But we will certainly defeat them if we fight them in the plains.

†[NIV]Meanwhile, the officials of the king of Aram advised him, "Their gods are gods of the hills. That is why they were too strong for us. But if we fight them on the plains, surely we will be stronger than they.

本会注释　　甚至亚兰人也将希伯来人的胜利归因于神力相助，但他们对于耶和华的全能没有正确的认识。古代多神论的基本观念是神明的地方势力与影响。比如黑门的巴力，黎巴嫩的巴力，撒弗（Zaphon）山峰的巴力，还有巴力沙米，他是天神，主管山顶和雷电。
　　古代的宗教文献经常提到这些巴力为中山神，云神，雷神和战神。自从耶洗别的日子，假神巴力在以色列极其盛行，因此亚兰人不免认为希伯来人的胜利是这位神明赐予的。撒玛利亚坐落在以法莲境内的山上。亚兰人认为如果他们想获得胜利，就得将以色列人从山区引诱到平原，好使自己具有战术和宗教方面的优势。

王上20:24 王当这样行：把诸王革去，派军长代替他们，

†[吕]王应当这样：把诸王废除、各撤职位，立军长来代替他们；

†[思]这是大王应该作的事：废除众王子各人的职位，另立军长代替，

†[当代]陛下，微臣又建议委任将军代替诸王，

†[新译]王应该这样作：把众王各人的职务解除，另立军官代替他们；

†[Wlb]可如是而行、去厥列王、以军长代之、

†[Xdv]请王解除那三十二个王的军权，委派其它的将领代替他们，

†[Kjv]And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:

†[Nkjv]So do this thing: Dismiss the kings, each from his position, and put captains in their places;

†[BBE]This is what you have to do: take away the kings from their positions, and put captains in their places;

†[GNT] Now, remove the thirty-two rulers from their commands and replace them with field commanders.

†[NIV]Do this: Remove all the kings from their commands and replace them with other officers.

本会注释　　建议撤换诸王可能因为他们都是附庸国，前来勤王也是勉强的，在战斗中不能独立作战或发挥有效作用，比不上便哈达亲自指定的军事官长。

王上20:25 又照着王丧失军兵之数，再招募一军，马补马，车补车，我们在平原与他们打仗，必定得胜。”王便听臣仆的话去行。

†[吕]又照王所丧失的军兵按数整编一军：马补马，车补车；那么我们在平原上跟他们交战，就一定胜过他们。”王听他们的话，就这样行了。

†[思]召募新军，补充所损失的军队，照数补充战马战车；然後在平原上与他们会战，我们定能战胜他们。”阿兰王听从了他们的建议，就这样进行。

†[当代]并且再次招募新兵，以填补阵亡将士的位置，此外也要补充车马。在平原上交战，我们是稳操胜券的。”

†[新译]又照着王损失的军兵的数目，招募一支新的军队，照数补充战马和战车。然后我们可以与他们在平原上作战，我们必定比他们强。”王听从他们的话，并且这样行了。

†[Wlb]宜核一军、与所丧者相同、以马代马、以车代车、我在平原与战、必强于彼、王从其言而行、

†[Xdv]然后重新整编一支劲旅，数目跟前次逃跑的那支军队相等，也拥有那么多的战车和马匹。我们要在平原跟以色列人打仗；这次我们一定战胜。”便哈达王采用他们的建议。

†[Kjv]And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.

†[Nkjv]and you shall muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. Then we will fight against them in the plain; surely we will be stronger than they." And he listened to their voice and did so.

†[BBE]And get together another army like the one which came to destruction, horse for horse, and carriage for carriage; and let us make war on them in the lowlands, and certainly we will be stronger than they. And he gave ear to what they said, and did so.

†[GNT] Then call up an army as large as the one that deserted you, with the same number of horses and chariots. We will fight the Israelites in the plains, and this time we will defeat them." King Benhadad agreed and followed their advice.

†[NIV]You must also raise an army like the one you lost-horse for horse and chariot for chariot-so we can fight Israel on the plains. Then surely we will be stronger than they." He agreed with them and acted accordingly.

本会注释　　亚兰人的损失一定非常严重，以致需要补充整支军队。战争使人的生命财产贬值。

王上20:26 次年，便哈达果然点齐亚兰人上亚弗去，要与以色列人打仗。 (串)王下13:17

†[吕]到了年头、便哈达果然点阅齐了亚兰人，上亚弗去，要同以色列人交战。

†[思]过年以後，本哈达得检阅了阿兰人，上到阿费克，进攻以色列。

†[当代]第二年，便哈达果然重点军兵，进军亚弗，攻打以色列人。

†[新译]过了年，便哈达数点了亚兰人，就上到亚弗去，要与以色列人争战。

†[Wlb]岁月既周、便哈达核亚兰之众、往亚弗、与以色列人战、

†[Xdv]第二年春天，他召集部下，跟他们一起到亚弗城攻打以色列人。

†[Kjv]And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.

†[Nkjv]So it was, in the spring of the year, that Ben-Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

†[BBE]So, a year later, Ben-hadad got the Aramaeans together and went up to Aphek to make war on Israel.

†[GNT] The following spring he called up his men and marched with them to the city of Aphek to attack the Israelites.

†[NIV]The next spring Ben-Hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

本会注释　　次年。指第二年的春天，即巴勒斯坦地区每年中通常适合作战的时候（见第22节注释）。
　　点齐亚兰人。便哈达很可能征召了许多国民参战。
　　亚弗。圣经中有好几处叫亚弗（见@撒上4:1@注释）。这里提到的城可能在加利利海以东6公里处，位于伯善到大马士革的大路上。不论这是指着哪一座城，它很可能就是后来以色列王约阿施根据以利沙的预言击杀亚兰人直到将他们灭尽的地方（王下13:14-19）。

王上20:27 以色列人也点齐军兵，预备食物，迎着亚兰人出去，对着他们安营，好象两小群山羊羔；亚兰人却满了地面。

†[吕]以色列人也是点阅齐的、并且供备着粮食；他们就去对亚兰人接战；以色列人对着亚兰人扎营，就像两小群山羊羔，亚兰人却满地都是。

†[思]以色列子民也动员起来，携带军粮，出来迎战；以色列子民在他们对面扎营，好像两群山羊；至於阿兰人却遍地皆是。

†[当代]以色列人也遣兵调将，征备军粮，对著敌军布阵；可是，漫山遍野都布满了亚兰人，相比之下，以色列军队就好像两群小羊一样。

†[新译]以色列人数点人数，预备了粮食，就去迎战亚兰人。以色列人对着他们安营，好像两小群山羊羔；亚兰人却满布了那地。

†[Wlb]以色列族亦核其众、备粮食、而往逆之、以色列族建营于敌前、若山羊羔二小群、惟亚兰人充斥遍地、

†[Xdv]以色列人也召集军队，准备应战，他们分成两队，面向叙利亚人扎营。可是以色列人跟满布田野间的叙利亚人比起来好像是两小群山羊。

†[Kjv]And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.

†[Nkjv]And the children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and they went against them. Now the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, while the Syrians filled the countryside.

†[BBE]And the children of Israel got themselves together, and food was made ready and they went against them; the tents of the children of Israel were like two little flocks of goats before them, but all the country was full of the Aramaeans.

†[GNT] The Israelites were called up and equipped; they marched out and camped in two groups facing the Syrians. The Israelites looked like two small flocks of goats compared to the Syrians, who spread out over the countryside.

†[NIV]When the Israelites were also mustered and given provisions, they marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped opposite them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside.

本会注释　　预备食物。或“提供食物”。以色列人已作好战争的充分准备，粮草兵员全都充足。这场战争已经预言，所以以色列人有充足的时间和机会（第22节）。
　　群。希伯来文chasiph，在圣经中只此一处出现，似乎指分离的东西，比如与主群分开的两小群山羊。

王上20:28 有神人来见以色列王，说：“耶和华如此说：‘亚兰人既说我耶和华是山神，不是平原的神，所以我必将这一大群人都交在你手中，你们就知道我是耶和华。’” (串)王上17:18|本章23|本章13

†[吕]有一个神人走近前来见以色列王说：“永恒主这么说：‘亚兰人既说：“永恒主是山神，不是山谷的神”，那么我就要将这一大队蜂拥军兵都交在你手里，你们便知道我乃是永恒主。’”

†[思]天主的人又前来对以色列王说：“上主这样说：既然阿兰人说：上主是山神而不是平原神，所以我必将这支庞大的军队交在你手中，叫你们知道我是上主。”

†[当代]先知又来见亚哈说：“主说：‘亚兰人认为我只是山神，不是平原的神；所以，我要将这大军交在你的手中，这样，你们就晓得我是真神了。’”

†[新译]有一位神人前来对以色列王说：“耶和华这样说：‘因为亚兰人说耶和华是山神，不是平原的神，所以我要把这些强大的军兵交在你手里，你们就知道我是耶和华。’”

†[Wlb]有上帝仆进见以色列王曰、耶和华云、亚兰人谓耶和华乃山岳之神、非平原之神、故我必以此群众付于尔手、尔则知我乃耶和华、

†[Xdv]有一个圣人去见亚哈王，说：“上主这样说：‘因为叙利亚人说我是山神，不是平原的神，所以我要使你战胜他们庞大的军队，你和你的人民就知道我是上主。’”

†[Kjv]And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand

†[Nkjv]Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, "Thus says the LORD: "Because the Syrians have said, "The LORD is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys," therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and

†[BBE]And a man of God came up and said to the king of Israel, The Lord says, Because the Aramaeans have said, The Lord is a god of the hills and not of the valleys; I will give all this great army into your hands, and you will see that I am the Lord.

†[GNT] A prophet went to King Ahab and said, "This is what the Lord says: "Because the Syrians say that I am a god of the hills and not of the plains, I will give you victory over their huge army, and you and your people will know that I am the Lord.' "

†[NIV]The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, "This is what the Lord says: 'Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord .

本会注释　　上帝想让亚哈和亚兰人都将不久之后以色列人的胜利归功于祂自己为以色列而进行的干预，而不是别的原因。上帝藉着让祂的子民获胜，使外邦人知道惟有耶和华是上帝（见王下19:16-34）。上帝计划让祂名的威严和荣耀在全地的人面前得到尊崇（见诗67:2；102:15；138:4；结20:9）。通过让以色列人战胜亚兰人的大军，耶和华就在周围列国的眼中显明，祂不仅是掌管山川平原的神，也是全地的主宰。

王上20:29 以色列人与亚兰人相对安营七日，到第七日两军交战；那一日以色列人杀了亚兰人步兵十万，

†[吕]以色列人和亚兰人相对地扎了营七天；第七天就接了战；那一天以色列人击败了亚兰人十万步兵。

†[当代]以色列人和亚兰人两军相对列阵，一连七天，大家都按兵不动。到了第七天，两军正式交战；那一天，以色列军杀了亚兰的步兵十万。

†[新译]以色列人和亚兰人相对安营，共七天。到了第七日，两军终于接战了。那一天，以色列人杀了亚兰人步兵十万。

†[Wlb]两军相对建营、历至七日、然后交战、是日以色列人、杀亚兰人步卒十万、

†[Xdv]叙利亚人和以色列人住在他们的帐棚里，互相对峙了七天之久。第七天，他们开始打起来。以色列人杀了叙利亚步兵十万人。

†[Kjv]And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.

†[Nkjv]And they encamped opposite each other for seven days. So it was that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand foot soldiers of the Syrians in one day.

†[BBE]Now the two armies kept their positions facing one another for seven days. And on the seventh day the fight was started; and the children of Israel put to the sword a hundred thousand Aramaean footmen in one day.

†[GNT] For seven days the Syrians and the Israelites stayed in their camps, facing each other. On the seventh day they started fighting, and the Israelites killed a hundred thousand Syrians.

†[NIV]For seven days they camped opposite each other, and on the seventh day the battle was joined. The Israelites inflicted a hundred thousand casualties on the Aramean foot soldiers in one day.

本会注释　　亚兰人这次的损失似乎主要是步兵，而上次的失败则特别提到“车马”被大大击杀（第21节）。

王上20:30 其余的逃入亚弗城；城墙塌倒，压死剩下的二万七千人。便哈达也逃入城，藏在严密的屋子里。 (串)王上22:25王下9:2代下18:24

†[吕]其余的逃到亚弗城内；剩下的二万七千人、城墙塌陷在他们身上了。便哈达也逃跑；进了城里一间尽内屋。

†[思]其馀的人都逃入阿费克城内，城倒塌，压死了残存的两万七千人。本哈达得也逃入城内，藏在极严密的暗室内。

†[当代]亚兰军一败涂地，留得性命的都逃进亚弗城去了，可是，那城墙又倒塌下来，结果压死了二万七千人。便哈达也在城中，他躲在一座房子的内室里。

†[新译]余下来的都逃入亚弗城里，城墙倒塌，压死了余下来的二万七千人。便哈达也逃到城里来，躲进一间密室里。

†[Wlb]其余遁入亚弗邑、城垣倾圮、压毙二万七千人、便哈达遁入城、匿于内室、

†[Xdv]生还的兵士都逃进亚弗城；城墙倒塌下来，又压死了两万七千人。便哈达也逃进城里，藏在一个屋子的后房。

†[Kjv]But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.

†[Nkjv]But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; then a wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the men who were left. And Ben-Hadad fled and went into the city, into an inner chamber.

†[GNT] The survivors fled into the city of Aphek, where the city walls fell on twenty-seven thousand of them. Benhadad also escaped into the city and took refuge in the back room of a house.

†[NIV]The rest of them escaped to the city of Aphek, where the wall collapsed on twenty-seven thousand of them. And Ben-Hadad fled to the city and hid in an inner room.

本会注释　　城墙塌倒。这座城可能很小。大批亚兰人拥挤在城墙里，随之而来的大混乱很容易造成大批人员伤亡。
　　藏在严密的屋子里。便哈达的藏身之处可能在城内的堡垒中。在东方设防的城中通常会有极其坚固的堡垒作为最后的撤退和抵抗之处。

王上20:31 他的臣仆对他说：“我们听说以色列王都是仁慈的王，现在我们不如腰束麻布，头套绳索，出去投降以色列王，或者他存留王的性命。” (串)撒下3:31

†[吕]他的臣仆对他说：“看哪，我们听说以色列家的王都是仁慈的王；让我们腰束麻布，头套绳索，出去投降以色列王吧；或者他会使你的性命存活着。”

†[思]本哈达得的臣仆对本哈达得说：“看，我们听说以色列家的君王，都是仁慈的君王，请你让我们腰里束上麻布，头上系上绳索，去见以色列王，或者他会保全你的性命。”

†[当代]他的臣宰又向他献议说：“我们听说以色列王是宽宏大量的。现在，让我们试试腰束麻布，头缠绳索，卑躬屈膝地去向以色列王请降，求他饶陛下一命吧。”

†[新译]他的臣仆对他说：“我们听说以色列家的王都是仁慈的王；我们不如腰束麻布，头套绳索，出去投降以色列王，或许他会使你的性命存活。”

†[Wlb]其臣仆曰、我闻以色列家之王、咸怀矜恤、我侪曷若腰束麻、首系索、乞降于以色列王、庶存尔命、

†[Xdv]他的臣仆对他说：“我们听说以色列诸王都是仁慈的；请准我们去见以色列诸王。我们要在腰间围上麻布，在脖子上套绳索；这样，说不定他会饶了你的命。”

†[Kjv]And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy

†[Nkjv]Then his servants said to him, "Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please, let us put sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will spare your life.

†[BBE]Then his servants said to him, It is said that the kings of Israel are full of mercy: let us then put on haircloth, and cords on our heads, and go to the king of Israel; it may be that he will give you your life.

†[GNT] His officials went to him and said, "We have heard that the Israelite kings are merciful. Give us permission to go to the king of Israel with sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our necks, and maybe he will spare your life."

†[NIV]His officials said to him, "Look, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful. Let us go to the king of Israel with sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will spare your life."

本会注释　　周围列国听说以色列王都是仁慈的王。如果所有的君主都能以慈悲和怜悯施行统治，如果仁爱代替了凶残，公义和弟兄间的友谊代替了压迫和奴役，这个世界将是何等不同啊。

王上20:32 于是他们腰束麻布，头套绳索，去见以色列王，说：“王的仆人便哈达说，求王存留我的性命。”亚哈说：“他还活着吗？他是我的兄弟。”

†[吕]于是他们就腰束麻布，头套绳索，来见以色列王、说：“王的仆人便哈达说：‘求王使我的性命存活着。’亚哈说：“他还活着么？他是我的盟兄弟！”

†[思]於是他们腰里束上麻布，头上系上绳索，去见以色列王说：“你的仆人本哈达得说：求你保全我的性命！”阿哈布问说：“他还活着麽？他是我的兄弟。”

†[当代]于是，他们就腰束麻布，头缠绳索，来见以色列王说：“仆人便哈达求陛下开恩饶命啊！”亚哈回答说：“他还活著吗？那好极了，因为他到底是我的兄弟啊！”

†[新译]于是他们腰束麻布，头套绳索，来见以色列王，对他说：“你的仆人便哈达说：‘求你使我的性命存活！’”亚哈说：“他还活着吗？他是我的兄弟！”

†[Wlb]遂束麻于腰、系索于首、诣以色列王曰、尔仆便哈达云、请存我命、曰、彼尚在乎、我兄弟也、

†[Xdv]于是他们拿麻布围在腰间，用绳子套在脖子上，到亚哈那里去，说：“你的仆人便哈达恳求你饶他一命。”亚哈说：“他还活着吗？他就像是我的兄弟！”

†[Kjv]So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.

†[Nkjv]So they wore sackcloth around their waists and put ropes around their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, "Your servant Ben-Hadad says, "Please let me live."' And he said, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."

†[BBE]So they put on haircloth, and cords on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, Your servant Ben-hadad says, Let me now keep my life. And he said, Is he still living? he is my brother.

†[GNT] So they wrapped sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their necks, went to Ahab and said, "Your servant Benhadad pleads with you for his life." Ahab answered, "Is he still alive? Good! He's like a brother to me!"

†[NIV]Wearing sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their heads, they went to the king of Israel and said, "Your servant Ben-Hadad says: 'Please let me live.' " The king answered, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."

本会注释　　不久之前便哈达还是主人，亚哈是仆人（第4节）。骄傲的便哈达此时不再吹嘘了，他开始用理智去思考先前亚哈告诉他的话，“才顶盔贯甲的，休要像摘盔卸甲的夸口”（第11节）。

王上20:33 这些人留心探出他的口气来，便急忙就着他的话说：“便哈达是王的兄弟！”王说：“你们去请他来。”便哈达出来见王，王就请他上车。

†[吕]这些人正在观察徵兆，便急忙就着他的话抓住机会说：“是王的兄弟便哈达！”王说：“去领他来”；便哈达出来见王，王请他上车。

†[思]这些人认为这话是个吉兆，急忙抓住他的话说：“本哈达得确是陛下的兄弟。”阿哈布说：“你们去领他来！”本哈达得便出来参见君王；阿哈布请他上了自己的车。

†[当代]他们听见亚哈的口气温和，就连忙抓紧机会说：“是啊，是啊，便哈达是陛下的兄弟啊。”于是，亚哈便吩咐他们去把便哈达带来；便哈达出来见他，他又请便哈达登上御车。

†[新译]那些人认为这些话是个吉兆，急忙抓住他的话，说：“便哈达是王的兄弟！”亚哈说：“你们去请他来。”便哈达出来见王，亚哈就去请他上车。

†[Wlb]其人谛听其言、迅即乘机而应曰、便哈达尔兄弟也、曰、往携之至、便哈达遂出见王、王令登车、

†[Xdv]便哈达的臣仆正在等待机会，他们一听到亚哈说“兄弟”就立刻抓住机会，说：“正像你所说的，便哈达是你的兄弟呀！”亚哈下令说：“带他来见我吧！”便哈达到的时候，亚哈请他跟自己一同坐上战车。

†[Kjv]Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.

†[Nkjv]Now the men were watching closely to see whether any sign of mercy would come from him; and they quickly grasped at this word and said, "Your brother Ben-Hadad." So he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben-Hadad came out to him; and he had him come up into the

†[BBE]Now the men took it as a sign, and quickly took up his words; and they said, Ben-hadad is your brother. Then he said, Go and get him. So Ben-hadad came out to him and he made him get up into his carriage.

†[GNT] Benhadad's officials were watching for a good sign, and when Ahab said "brother," they took it up at once, and said, "As you say, Benhadad is your brother!" "Bring him to me," Ahab ordered. When Benhadad arrived, Ahab invited him to get in the chariot wi

†[NIV]The men took this as a good sign and were quick to pick up his word. "Yes, your brother Ben-Hadad!" they said. "Go and get him," the king said. When Ben-Hadad came out, Ahab had him come up into his chariot.

本会注释　　亚哈会怎样回答呢？他的话意味着生命还是死亡？王手下的人留心探询他的反应和口气。当他们听见王称便哈达为自己的“兄弟”时，这些人就知道答案了。疑虑和危险过去了，胜利者已经表态。是宽容和友谊，而不是不宽恕和死亡。亚哈请便哈达上自己的车，显示了他出奇的礼貌。

王上20:34 便哈达对王说：“我父从你父那里所夺的城邑，我必归还。你可以在大马色立街市，象我父在撒玛利亚所立的一样。”亚哈说：“我照此立约，放你回去”，就与他立约，放他去了。 (串)王上15:20|王上11:24

†[吕]便哈达对王说：“我父亲从你父亲所夺取的城市我都要归还；你可以在大马色立街市，像我父亲在撒玛利亚立街市一样。”亚哈说：“我就凭这个约放你走。”便和他立约，放他走。

†[思]本哈达得对君王说：“我父亲从你父亲手中抢去的城市，我都要归还给你；并且你可在大马士革设立市场，如同我父亲在撒玛黎雅所设立的一样。”阿哈布说：“我就根据这条约放你走。”这样，君王与他订立了条约，放他走了。

†[当代]便哈达对亚哈说：“我必定归还先父从陛下的父亲那里夺来的城邑，陛下更可以在大马士革设立贸易站，就像先父在撒马利亚所设立一样。”亚哈回答说：“好吧，我们就这样立下盟约，你放心回去吧！”立约以后，亚哈也就让便哈达回去了。

†[新译]便哈达对王说：“我父亲从你父亲夺得的众城，我都必还给你；你可以为自己在大马士革设立市场，像我父亲在撒玛利亚设立市场一样。”亚哈说：“我与你立了这样的约，就放你去。”于是他和便哈达立了约，就放他走了。

†[Wlb]便哈达曰、昔我先人所夺尔父之邑、我必反尔、我先人在撒玛利亚为市、今尔在大马色亦可为市、亚哈曰、有此盟约、可释尔归、于是立约、而使之归、

†[Xdv]便哈达说：“我要把我父亲从你父亲那里夺来的城镇归还你，并且让你在大马士革设立贸易中心，像我父亲在撒马利亚所做的。”亚哈回答：“好，在这样的条件下，我放你走。”亚哈就跟他订立条约，然后放他走了。

†[Kjv]And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant

†[Nkjv]So Ben-Hadad said to him, "The cities which my father took from your father I will restore; and you may set up marketplaces for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria." Then Ahab said, "I will send you away with this treaty." So he made a treat

†[BBE]And Ben-hadad said to him, The towns my father took from your father I will give back; and you may make streets for yourself in Damascus as my father did in Samaria. And as for me, at the price of this agreement you will let me go. So he made an agreement

†[GNT] Benhadad said to him, "I will restore to you the towns my father took from your father, and you may set up a commercial center for yourself in Damascus, just as my father did in Samaria." Ahab replied, "On these terms, then, I will set you free." He made

†[NIV]I will return the cities my father took from your father," Ben-Hadad offered. "You may set up your own market areas in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria." Ahab said, "On the basis of a treaty I will set you free." So he made a treaty with him, and let

本会注释　　我必归还。指“希旬的孙子、他伯利们的儿子便哈达”在亚撒的策动下从巴沙手中攻取的城邑（15:18-22）。现在这个便哈达称从前夺取以色列城邑的王为“我父，”说明他们一个人。便哈达一世是与巴沙同时代，而便哈达二世则与和亚哈同时代。
　　街市。据认为是指为贸易而设立的集市。这里摊位的所有者拥有治外法权。值得注意的是亚兰国在撒玛利亚也拥有这样的特权。

王上20:35 有先知的一个门徒奉耶和华的命对他的同伴说：“你打我吧！”那人不肯打他。 (串)王下2:3,5,7,15|王上13:18

†[吕]神言人们的弟子中有一个人凭着永恒主的话对他的同伴说：“你打我吧。”那人不肯打他。

†[思]那时，有个先知的弟子奉上主的命，对自己的同伴说：“请你打我！”那人却拒绝打他。

†[当代]一位先知奉主的命令叫另一位先知打他，但那人却不肯动手。

†[新译]先知门徒中有一个人奉耶和华的命令对他的一个同伴说：“你打我吧！”可是，那人却不肯打他。

†[Wlb]有先知徒一人、奉耶和华命、谓同侪曰、尔其扑我、同侪不从、

†[Xdv]有一群先知，其中的一个奉上主命令要另一个先知打他；可是那一个先知不肯这样做。

†[Kjv]And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.

†[Nkjv]Now a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of the LORD, "Strike me, please." And the man refused to strike him.

†[BBE]And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Give me a wound. But the man would not.

†[GNT] At the Lord's command a member of a group of prophets ordered a fellow prophet to hit him. But he refused,

†[NIV]By the word of the Lord one of the sons of the prophets said to his companion, "Strike me with your weapon," but the man refused.

王上20:36 他就对那人说：“你既不听从耶和华的话，你一离开我，必有狮子咬死你。”那人一离开他，果然遇见狮子，把他咬死了。 (串)王上13:24

†[吕]他就对那人说：“你既不听永恒主的声音，看吧，你一离开我，就必有狮子扑死你。”那人一离开他，果然有狮子遇见了他，把他扑死。

†[思]他就对那人说：“既然你不听上主的命，看，你一离开我，就有一个狮子把你咬死。”那人一离开他，果然路上遇见一只狮子，把他咬死了。

†[当代]于是，那位先知就对他说：“你竟然不听从主的吩咐，我告诉你：你离开了我以后，就会立刻被狮子咬死。”后来，事情果然发生了。

†[新译]他就对那人说：“因为你不听从耶和华的话，你一离开我，就必有狮子咬死你。”那人一离开他，果然遇见了狮子，把他咬死。

†[Wlb]曰、因尔不听耶和华命、尔离我时、必见杀于狮、同侪离之、果遇狮被杀、

†[Xdv]于是他对那个先知说：“因为你没有听从上主的命令，你一离开我就有狮子来把你咬死。”那先知走后，果然有狮子来把他咬死。

†[Kjv]Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.

†[Nkjv]Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, surely, as soon as you depart from me, a lion shall kill you." And as soon as he left him, a lion found him and killed him.

†[BBE]Then he said to him, Because you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, straight away when you have gone from me a lion will put you to death. And when he had gone, straight away a lion came rushing at him and put him to death.

†[GNT] so he said to him, "Because you have disobeyed the Lord's command, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me." And as soon as he left, a lion came along and killed him.

†[NIV]So the prophet said, "Because you have not obeyed the Lord , as soon as you leave me a lion will kill you." And after the man went away, a lion found him and killed him.

本会注释　　击打的命令是奉“耶和华的命”发出的（第35节）。先知门徒的同伴不论多么为难，多么不情愿，都应该立刻遵从。迅速临到他身上的惩罚充分说明，对于耶和华的话应该毫无疑问地顺从。

王上20:37 先知的门徒又遇见一个人，对他说：“你打我吧！”那人就打他，将他打伤。

†[吕]神言人的弟子又遇见另一个人，就说：“你打我吧。”那人就打他，将他击伤。

†[新译]先知的门徒又遇见另一个人，对他说：“你打我吧！”那人就打他，把他打伤。

†[Wlb]又遇一人、曰、尔其扑我、遂扑而伤之、

†[Xdv]先前说话的先知又到另一个人那里，说：“打我吧！”那个人就使劲地打他，把他打伤了。

†[Kjv]Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.

†[Nkjv]And he found another man, and said, "Strike me, please." So the man struck him, inflicting a wound.

†[BBE]Then he came across another man, and said, Give me a wound. And the man gave him a blow wounding him.

†[GNT] Then this same prophet went to another man and said, "Hit me!" This man did so; he hit him a hard blow and hurt him.

†[NIV]The prophet found another man and said, "Strike me, please." So the man struck him and wounded him.

王上20:38 他就去了，用头巾蒙眼，改换面目，在路旁等候王。 (串)撒上28:8代下18:29

†[吕]那神言人就去，用头巾蒙着眼来化装，在路旁等着王。

†[当代]先知离开那地方，用布蒙著眼睛，遮掩面目，在路上等候亚哈王。

†[NIV]Then the prophet went and stood by the road waiting for the king. He disguised himself with his headband down over his eyes.

本会注释　　头巾。有文本为“灰尘”。在希伯来语中，“灰尘”和“头巾”是同根词，只有元音不同。“灰尘”是'epher，“头巾”是'apher。戴上头巾可能有两个目的，一是遮盖伤口，二是不让亚哈认出自己是先知的门徒。
　　眼。有文本为“脸”。

王上20:39 王从那里经过，他向王呼叫说：“仆人在阵上的时候，有人带了一个人来，对我说：‘你看守这人，若把他失了，你的性命必代替他的性命；不然，你必交出一他连得银子来。’ (串)王下10:24

†[思]君王从那里经过时，他便对君王呼喊说：“你的仆人出来交战，忽有一个人转来，给我带来一个人说：你要看守这个人，倘若失踪了，定要你替他偿命，或赔偿一‘塔冷通’银子。

†[当代]亚哈经过的时候，他就向王呼叫说：“仆人上阵的时候，有人押著一个俘虏来，要我看管，他说倘若俘虏跑掉，我就要以性命抵偿或是赔偿三千块银子。

†[新译]王从那里经过的时候，他向王呼叫说：“你仆人出征，在战阵之中，忽然有一个人转过来，带了另一个人来见我，说：‘你看守这个人，他若是走失了，就要你替他偿命，否则你要支付三十公斤银子。’

†[Wlb]王过之、则呼曰、仆在陈时、有人执敌、转诣我曰、尔守此人、如其失之、必以尔命代其命、或罚尔银一他连得、

†[Xdv]当王经过的时候，先知大声喊：“陛下，我在打仗的时候，有一个兵士把一个掳来的敌人交给我，说：‘看住这个人；要是他跑了，你要以命赔偿，不然，就要罚三千块银子。’

†[Kjv]And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be f

本会注释　　比喻的意思是很清楚，蒙眼的先知代表亚哈。交给他看守的人代表便哈达。

王上20:40 仆人正在忙乱之间，那人就不见了。”以色列王对他说：“你自己定妥了，必照样判断你。”

†[吕]仆人正在东忙西忙，那人竟不见了。”以色列王对他说：“你的案件正是这样；你已直截判断好了。”

†[思]你的仆人正在东忙西乱时，那人不见了。”以色列王对他说：“这就是你的定案，你已经自下判决。”

†[当代]后来，在忙乱之间，那俘虏竟然跑掉了。”亚哈王听了就评理说：“这是你的过失，你这是罪有应得啊。”

†[BBE]But while your servant was turning this way and that, he was gone. Then the king of Israel said to him, You are responsible; you have given the decision against yourself.

†[GNT] But I got busy with other things, and the man escaped." The king answered, "You have pronounced your own sentence, and you will have to pay the penalty."

†[NIV]While your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared." "That is your sentence," the king of Israel said. "You have pronounced it yourself."

本会注释　　忙乱。不是忙自己的事，而是关注其他的事，把最重要的事忽略了。
　　判断你。王作出了裁决，却没有意识到是在给自己下判决，就像大卫在母羊羔的比喻（撒下12:5-7）或两个弟兄的故事（撒下14:10,11）中对自己的宣判一样。

本会注释　　除掉蒙眼的头巾。有文本为除掉灰尘（见第38节注释）。

王上20:42 他对王说：“耶和华如此说：‘因你将我定要灭绝的人放去，你的命就必代替他的命，你的民也必代替他的民。’”

†[吕]他便对王说：“永恒主这么说：‘因为你将我要杀灭归神的人从你手中放走，故此你的性命就必须代替他的牲命，你的人民就必须代替他的人民。’”

†[思]先知对君王说：“上主这样说：你既然亲手放走了我所要消灭的人，所以你要替他偿命，你的人民必要抵偿他的人民。”

†[当代]先知说：“主说你放过了祂要毁灭的人，所以，你和你的人民要用你们自己的性命来作赔偿。”

†[新译]先知对王说：“耶和华这样说：因为你把我要灭绝的人从你手中放走，所以要你替他偿命。要你的人民抵偿他的人民。”

†[Nkjv]Then he said to him, "Thus says the LORD: "Because you have let slip out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people."'

†[BBE]And he said to him, These are the words of the Lord: Because you have let go from your hands the man whom I had put to the curse, your life will be taken for his life, and your people for his people.

†[GNT] The prophet then said to the king, "This is the word of the Lord: "Because you allowed the man to escape whom I had ordered to be killed, you will pay for it with your life, and your army will be destroyed for letting his army escape.' "

†[NIV]He said to the king, "This is what the Lord says: 'You have set free a man I had determined should die. Therefore it is your life for his life, your people for his people.' "

本会注释　　上帝将便哈达交在亚哈手中是要杀掉他。亚哈没有意识到自己的责任，也没有利用这个机会。仅仅一年前，便哈达曾提出苛刻的要求（3-6节）。亚哈应该了解他与之打交道之人的本质，并采取相应的措施。便哈达不值得信任。他只是在拖延时间，几年后亚哈就为自己的“仁慈”付出了生命的代价（22:31-36）。

王上20:43 于是以色列王闷闷不乐地回到撒玛利亚，进了他的宫。 (串)王上21:4

†[吕]于是以色列来到宫中，愁闷不乐往撒玛利亚去。

†[思]以色列王闷闷不乐地回了撒玛黎雅，进了自己的宫殿。

†[当代]因此，亚哈王心里就非常烦闷，怏怏不乐地回到撒马利亚去了。

†[Kjv]And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.

†[Nkjv]So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and displeased, and came to Samaria.

†[BBE]Then the king of Israel went back to his house, bitter and angry, and came to Samaria.

†[GNT] The king went back home to Samaria, worried and depressed.

†[NIV]Sullen and angry, the king of Israel went to his palace in Samaria.

本会注释　　亚哈不承认对他判决的公正性。他变得愤怒并闷闷不乐，没有显示出真诚的悔改和虔诚的忧伤。这是他自己给自己下的判决，没有上诉的余地。亚哈在愤怒中一定很想抓住那个公开谴责他的先知，但他却没有这样做，因为是他定了自己的罪。他郁闷地回到王宫，心中怨恨先知，而不是自己，挑剔上帝的做法，而不是反省自己的错误。未悔改的心总想为自己的错误辩护。一个人的做法在自己眼中总是正确的。
