列王纪下第17章

《圣经》列王纪下-第17章

王下17:1 犹大王亚哈斯十二年，以拉的儿子何细亚在撒玛利亚登基作以色列王九年。 (串)王下15:30;18:1

†[吕]犹大王亚哈斯十二年、以拉的儿子何细亚在撒玛利亚登极来管理以色列；他作王有九年。

†[思]猷大王阿哈次十二年，厄拉的儿子曷舍亚在撒玛黎雅登极为以色列王，在位凡九年。

†[当代]犹大王亚哈斯十三年，以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚在撒马利亚登基，在位九年。

†[新译]犹大王亚哈斯在位第十二年，以拉的儿子何细亚在撒玛利亚登基，统治以色列九年。

†[Wlb]犹大王亚哈斯十二年、以拉子何细亚即位、在撒玛利亚为以色列王、凡历九年、

†[Xdv]犹大王亚哈斯在位的第十二年，以拉的儿子何细亚作以色列王；他在撒马利亚统治了九年。

†[Kjv]In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.

†[Nkjv]In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years.

†[BBE]In the twelfth year of Ahaz, king of Judah, Hoshea, the son of Elah, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for nine years.

†[GNT] In the twelfth year of the reign of King Ahaz of Judah, Hoshea son of Elah became king of Israel, and he ruled in Samaria for nine years.

†[NIV]In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea son of Elah became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned nine years.

本会注释　　关于何细亚统治的年代，见本卷注释第150页。提革拉-毗列色三世宣称在以色列人推翻了比加的统治之后，他立何细亚为王，并从何细亚那里收下了10他连得金子和1,000他连得银子作为贡金。这显然意味着何细亚在取代了比加后与亚述王修好并承认他的权威。那时提革拉-毗列色向西发动了一系列的战争，公元前734年攻打非利士人，公元前733和732年攻打大马士革。犹大王亚哈斯最近还派遣了一个代表团去见提革拉-毗列色，请求他帮助自己攻打比加和利汛（王下16:7-9）。因此，何细亚在登上以色列的王位前也被迫承认了提革拉-毗列色的宗主权。他背叛比加的行动可能也是在亚述王的默许和支持下进行的。

王下17:2 他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，只是不象在他以前的以色列诸王。

†[吕]他行永恒主所看为坏的事，只是不像他以前的以色列诸王。

†[思]他行了上主视为恶的事，但不像他以前的以色列列王。

†[当代]何细亚王行上帝视为恶的事，不过并没有以色列以前各王那样腐败。

†[新译]他行耶和华看为恶的事，只是不像他以前的以色列诸王。

†[Wlb]行耶和华所恶、第不若以色列前王之甚、

†[Xdv]他做了上主看为邪恶的事，但不像在他以先那些以色列王那么坏。

†[Kjv]And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.

†[Nkjv]And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel who were before him.

†[BBE]He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, though not like the kings of Israel before him.

†[GNT] He sinned against the Lord, but not as much as the kings who had ruled Israel before him.

†[NIV]He did evil in the eyes of the Lord , but not like the kings of Israel who preceded him.

本会注释　　何细亚虽然行恶，但却不像他以前的诸王那么明显。如果他采取积极的改革措施，国家在最后的关头却依然可以得救。上帝心存怜悯并长久忍耐，但如果人或国家的罪恶达到一定的界限，又屡次拒绝藐视祂神圣的警告，刑罚就会降临。何细亚显然没有作出努力阻止刑罚的来临。

王下17:3 亚述王撒缦以色上来攻击何细亚，何细亚就服事他，给他进贡。 (串)本章3-6王下18:9-12|撒下8:2,6诗72:10

†[吕]亚述王撒缦以色上来攻击何细亚，何细亚就臣服他，给他进贡。

†[思]亚述王沙耳玛乃色上来攻打曷舍亚，他便向亚述王称臣纳贡。

†[当代]亚述王撒缦以色攻打以色列，何细亚王只得纳贡称臣。

†[新译]亚述王撒缦以色上来攻击他，他就臣服于他，并且向他进贡。

†[Wlb]亚述王撒缦以色上而攻之、何细亚臣服之、而纳贡焉、

†[Xdv]亚述皇帝撒缦以色来攻打他；何细亚投降了，于是每年向撒缦以色进贡。

†[Kjv]Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.

†[Nkjv]Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against him; and Hoshea became his vassal, and paid him tribute money.

†[BBE]Against him came up Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant and sent him offerings.

†[GNT] Emperor Shalmaneser of Assyria made war against him; Hoshea surrendered to Shalmaneser and paid him tribute every year.

†[NIV]Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up to attack Hoshea, who had been Shalmaneser's vassal and had paid him tribute.

本会注释　　撒缦以色。撒缦以色五世于公元前727年开始他的统治。关于他的记录残缺不全，所以我们对他的统治知之甚少。
　　服侍他。何细亚曾承认提革拉-毗列色的宗主权并向他进贡，现在撒缦以色登基作王，他就继续向他表示效忠了。

王下17:4 何细亚背叛，差人去见埃及王梭，不照往年所行的与亚述王进贡。亚述王知道了，就把他锁禁，囚在监里。

†[吕]何细亚反叛了，差遣使者去见埃及王西威、却不照年年所行的、给亚述王献上贡物；亚述王发觉了，就捉拿他，锁禁在监狱里。

†[思]后来亚述王发觉曷舍亚企图造反。原来曷舍亚曾派使者去见埃及王索阿，就不再向亚述王每年纳贡，所以亚述王将他拘捕，囚在监里。

†[当代]何细亚一方面遣使向埃及王梭求援，另一方面又停止向亚述王进贡。怎知被亚述王知道了，就把他锁起来，囚在狱中。

†[新译]后来，亚述王发觉何细亚阴谋反叛：他曾派使者去见埃及王梭，并且不再向亚述王献上贡物，像过去每年一样。亚述王就拿住他，把他囚在牢里。

†[Wlb]何细亚谋叛、遣使诣埃及王梭、不纳岁贡于亚述王、如前所为、亚述王知之、遂禁锢之、而囚于狱、

†[Xdv]有一年，何细亚派人去见埃及王梭，向他求助，不再每年向亚述进贡。撒缦以色知道了，就逮捕何细亚，把他监禁起来。

†[Kjv]And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

†[Nkjv]And the king of Assyria uncovered a conspiracy by Hoshea; for he had sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, and brought no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.

†[BBE]But Hoshea's broken faith became clear to the king of Assyria because he had sent representatives to So, king of Egypt, and did not send his offering to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: so the king of Assyria had him shut up in prison and

†[GNT] But one year Hoshea sent messengers to So, king of Egypt, asking for his help, and stopped paying the annual tribute to Assyria. When Shalmaneser learned of this, he had Hoshea arrested and put in prison.

†[NIV]But the king of Assyria discovered that Hoshea was a traitor, for he had sent envoys to So king of Egypt, and he no longer paid tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year. Therefore Shalmaneser seized him and put him in prison.

本会注释　　背叛。当时的先知何西阿曾嘲笑以色列那时对外政策的多变，一会儿投靠亚述，一会儿又转向埃及（何5:13；7:8,11,16；8:9；11:5；12:1；14:3）。
　　埃及王梭。此刻正值埃及第二十三王朝，当时的埃及诸侯林立，国势衰微。埃及王“梭”可能是一个Sib'u，就是撒珥根所说的“埃及的花格”。柏林博物馆有一件埃及的实物（ushebti），上面有一块王家的饰板，名叫sb'u，说明埃及曾有一位叫这个名字的短命君主（见本卷注释第52页）。
　　不……进贡。何细亚似乎不幸误判了国际政治的趋势。亚述当时已是世界强权，并且注定还要发展的更为强大。而埃及不过只剩下一个空名，已陷入自己最后的衰退之中。何细亚停止向亚述进贡激起了随之而来的严厉惩罚。

王下17:5 亚述王上来攻击以色列遍地，上到撒玛利亚，围困三年。

†[吕]亚述王上来，走遍以色列地，上到撒玛利亚，把它围困了三年。

†[思]随后，亚述王进军侵入全国，直逼撒玛黎雅，围攻了叁年。

†[当代]亚述王仍不罢休，进军以色列各地，又带兵围困撒马利亚，达三年之久，

†[新译]亚述王上来攻击以色列全国各地，并且到撒玛利亚来，围城三年。

†[Wlb]侵其全地、往撒玛利亚、围之三年、

†[Xdv]后来，撒缦以色侵入以色列，围攻撒马利亚。在围困的第三年，

†[Kjv]Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.

†[Nkjv]Now the king of Assyria went throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria and besieged it for three years.

†[BBE]Then the king of Assyria went through all the land and came up to Samaria, shutting it in with his forces for three years.

†[GNT] Then Shalmaneser invaded Israel and besieged Samaria. In the third year of the siege,

†[NIV]The king of Assyria invaded the entire land, marched against Samaria and laid siege to it for three years.

本会注释　　撒缦以色开始了对撒玛利亚三年的围困（见@王下18:9,10@注释）。

王下17:6 何细亚第九年亚述王攻取了撒玛利亚，将以色列人掳到亚述，把他们安置在哈腊与歌散的哈博河边，并玛代人的城邑。 (串)何13:16|本章23|王下18:11代上5:26|王下19:12赛37:12|拉6:2赛13:17;21:2耶51:11但5:28,31

†[吕]何细亚九年、亚述王攻取了撒玛利亚，使以色列人流亡到亚述，住在哈腊和歌散的哈博河边、跟玛代人的城市。

†[思]曷舍亚九年，亚述王攻陷了撒玛黎雅，把以色列人掳往亚述，把他们安置在哈拉黑和靠近哥仓河的哈波尔，以及玛待各城。

†[当代]到了何细亚王九年，撒马利亚终于沦陷了。亚述王把以色列人掳到亚述，安置在哈腊与歌散的哈博河一带以及玛代人的城邑里。

†[新译]何细亚在位第九年，亚述王占领了撒玛利亚，把以色列人掳到亚述去，徙置他们在哈腊，在哈博河和歌散河一带，以及在玛代人的各城。

†[Wlb]何细亚九年、亚述王取撒玛利亚、徙以色列人至亚述、置于哈腊与歌散之哈博河滨、及玛代诸邑、

†[Xdv]也就是何细亚在位的第九年，亚述皇帝攻下撒马利亚，把以色列人掳到亚述去，把他们安置在哈腊城、歌散区的哈博河附近，和米底亚人的城市。

†[Kjv]In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

†[Nkjv]In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria, and placed them in Halah and by the Habor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

†[BBE]In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and took Israel away to Assyria, placing them in Halah and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the towns of the Medes.

†[GNT] which was the ninth year of the reign of Hoshea, the Assyrian emperor captured Samaria, took the Israelites to Assyria as prisoners, and settled some of them in the city of Halah, some near the Habor River in the district of Gozan and some in the cities

†[NIV]In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and deported the Israelites to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, in Gozan on the Habor River and in the towns of the Medes.

本会注释　　攻取了撒玛利亚。圣经提到撒缦以色开始围困攻，但没有说是谁将城攻取。巴比伦的编年史记载Shamarain（可能就是撒玛利亚Samaria）是在撒缦以色在位时被攻陷的。但是撒缦以色的继承者撒珥根二世在自己统治临近结束时的书面文献中宣称，撒玛利亚城是自己在作王之初攻下的。如果他所言非虚，那么当时将城攻取的可能就不是亚述王，而是其军队的元帅了。历史学家却不这样看，他们认为有充分的证据证明撒玛利亚是在撒缦以色统治后期被他攻占的（见本卷注释第62,85,160页）。
　　哈博。这里指哈博河流域。哈博河是尼尼微以西130英里的幼发拉底河较大的支流。代上5:26提到哈博和哈拉都是提革拉-毗列色安置他所掳之民的地点。歌散就是古撒努（Guzanu），哈博北边的一个地方，现在叫Tell Halaf，德国人曾在这里进行过挖掘并发现了许多非常重要的文物。哈拉的位置不详。
　　玛代人。玛代在亚述的东北边。在此之前亚述曾与玛代有过多次冲突。亚述于公元前737年的战役就是针对玛代人发动的。

王下17:7 这是因以色列人得罪那领他们出埃及地、脱离埃及王法老手的耶和华他们的上帝，去敬畏别神， (串)出20:2利25:38本章36

†[吕]这是因为以色列人犯罪得罪了那领他们从埃及地上来、使他们脱离埃及王法老手下的、永恒主他们的上帝、去敬畏别的神，

†[思]这是因为以色列子民犯罪，得罪了领他们离开埃及地，摆脱埃及王法郎之手的上主，他们的天主，而去敬拜了别的神，

†[当代]以色列人这样的下场，是因为他们得罪了那领他们脱离埃及王法老的主上帝，转去尊崇别的神只，

†[新译]这是因为以色列人得罪了那曾带领他们从埃及王法老的手下离开埃及的耶和华他们的　神，去敬畏别的神。

†[Wlb]此因以色列人获罪于其上帝耶和华、即导之出埃及、脱于埃及王法老手者、彼乃寅畏他神、

†[Xdv]撒马利亚陷落是因为以色列人得罪上主──他们的上帝。上主曾救他们脱离埃及王，领他们出埃及，他们却去拜别的神明，

†[Kjv]For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,

†[Nkjv]For so it was that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and they had feared other gods,

†[BBE]And the wrath of the Lord came on Israel because they had done evil against the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt from under the yoke of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and had become worshippers of other gods,

†[GNT] Samaria fell because the Israelites sinned against the Lord their God, who had rescued them from the king of Egypt and had led them out of Egypt. They worshiped other gods,

†[NIV]All this took place because the Israelites had sinned against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of Egypt from under the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. They worshiped other gods

本会注释　　这是因。作者开始列举各种原因，说明上帝会允许以色列人被敌人击打并沦为囚虏的原因。
　　以色列人得罪。这是以色列败亡的主要原因。罪导致了我们的先祖被驱逐离开伊甸园，从那时起，罪也成为了人类一切祸患的根源。罪是人类最大的仇敌。它将自己所接触到的一切尽行毁坏，不论是个人，国家，还是世界。
　　领他们出。普通的礼貌也要求以色列人对那位向他们显示了如此伟大恩典的上帝表示尊重。再没有什么比忘记上帝的慈爱和良善更加忘恩负义的了。崇拜偶像的罪在以色列人中要比在其他民族中严重的多，因为外邦人不像耶和华的选民以色列人。他们接受的亮光有限，也没有经历过上帝奇妙的恩典。然而以色列人却亲身体验过上帝的慈爱和恩典。他们还是转离祂去敬拜假神。

王下17:8 随从耶和华在他们面前所赶出外邦人的风俗和以色列诸王所立的条规。 (串)利18:3申12:30|本章19

†[吕]随从永恒主从以色列人面前所驱逐的外国人的规例、和以色列诸王所立的条规。

†[思]随从了上主由以色列子民面前，所驱逐的异民的习俗，和以色列列王所规定的律例。

†[当代]随从主在他们面前所赶走的外邦人的风俗，

†[新译]他们随从耶和华从以色列人面前驱逐的外族人的风俗，以及以色列诸王奉行的风俗。

†[Wlb]循耶和华于以色列人前、所逐异族之例、及以色列诸王所立之例、

†[Xdv]仿效当地居民的风俗，就是那些上主在他子民面前赶走的外国人，接受了以色列诸王带来的习俗。

†[Kjv]And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

†[Nkjv]and had walked in the statutes of the nations whom the LORD had cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

†[BBE]Living by the rules of the nations whom the Lord had sent out from before the children of Israel.

†[GNT] followed the customs of the people whom the Lord had driven out as his people advanced, and adopted customs introduced by the kings of Israel.

†[NIV]and followed the practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before them, as well as the practices that the kings of Israel had introduced.

本会注释　　耶和华……所赶出。迦南当地的各族因为他们可憎的习俗和道德的败坏从以色列人面前被赶出。对于以色列人来说还有什么比他们效学迦南人的风俗更为愚蠢的事呢？迦南当地的居民因为他们的恶行而注定要被毁灭，以色列人也是这样。
　　以色列诸王。以色列的诸王要为引他们的百姓陷入罪中承担责任。他们引进并鼓励对巴力等假神的崇拜，他们使百姓远离耶和华而转向最腐败堕落的敬拜仪式。尽管如此，百姓也难辞其咎。人要为自己的行为负责。君王的罪恶不能为其百姓采取同样的罪行开脱责任。
　　然而，以色列人平时主要依靠的还是口头上的训勉。律法书的抄本非常稀少，即使存在，也被少数拥有特权的人藏在家里。百姓只能通过祭司和其他属灵领袖了解关于上帝旨意的知识。如果这些属灵的教导者自己所教所行的都是罪恶，那么很自然，在其下受教的人民也会随从他们的脚踪了。大多数以色列人缺乏个人的属灵经验。民众的宗教很大程度上就是服从权威人士所规定的一套崇拜制度。
　　今天的情形已完全不同，圣经处处可见。人们不再像原先那样依靠别人的指导来确定上帝的旨意了。现在要求他们自己学习真理，不要接受未经自己研究证实并得到圣灵的认证的教训。但是尽管面对新的形势，许多人依然依靠他们所视为宗教优越人士的理论和习俗来决定自己的行为方式。这样做有很大的危险。那些随从人的标准的人要冒很大的风险。如果他们丧亡了就不能怨天尤人。
　　在另一个方面，那些引诱他们走入歧途的人在上帝面前依然是有罪的。当这些人看到他人在效仿自己的时候，他们就有责任使自己的生活在各个方面都合乎规范、可资借鉴，同时还要大声疾呼，劝勉别人寻求自己的属灵经验并追随那惟一完美的楷模耶稣基督。

王下17:9 以色列人暗中行不正的事，违背耶和华他们的上帝，在他们所有的城邑，从了望楼直到坚固城，建筑邱坛； (串)王下18:8

†[吕]以色列人暗暗地行了不对的事、违背永恒主他们的上帝，在他们所有的城市、从了望人的谯楼、到有堡垒的城、他们都筑了邱坛；

†[思]以色列子民作了不义的事，得罪了上主他们的天主：在他们所有的城中，从守望台直到设防的城，到处建有高丘；

†[当代]又暗中行不正的事，顶撞他们的主，在全国的城镇，不论是了望楼或设防城，都遍设神庙；

†[新译]以色列人也说了亵渎的话，顶撞耶和华他们的　神，并且在他们所有的城市，从哨站到设防城，为他们自己建筑邱坛。

†[Wlb]以色列人私行不正之事、背逆其上帝耶和华、于其诸邑、自戍楼至坚城、建筑崇邱、

†[Xdv]以色列人做了上主──他们上帝不准他们做的事。他们在所有的城镇，从小村到大城，造山丘上的神庙，

†[Kjv]And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

†[Nkjv]Also the children of Israel secretly did against the LORD their God things that were not right, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from watchtower to fortified city.

†[BBE]And the children of Israel did secretly against the Lord their God things which were not right, building high places for themselves in all their towns, from the tower of the watchmen to the walled town.

†[GNT] The Israelites did things that the Lord their God disapproved of. They built pagan places of worship in all their towns, from the smallest village to the largest city.

†[NIV]The Israelites secretly did things against the Lord their God that were not right. From watchtower to fortified city they built themselves high places in all their towns.

本会注释　　暗中行。以色列人犯罪的过程中充斥奸诈和欺骗。他们经常用宗教的形式和敬虔的外表来掩盖他们卑污和败德的行为。他们假装侍奉耶和华，而其实际行为却与祂国度的主要原则截然相反。
　　邱坛。在这些中心的偶像崇拜常常伴随着各种污秽堕落的行为（见申12:2,3；赛57:5-7；耶2:20；3:2）。当地的生殖崇拜使来到此处的敬拜者陷入了最可耻的行为之中。
　　从了望楼直到坚固城。表示从国的一端到另一端（王下18:8）。这些塔楼位于国家最边远的区域，设在田野里起防护的作用，有了望兵驻守在其内。还有一些巨大的设防城。这句话的意思是，邱坛遍地都是，不仅在人口稠密的地区，也在最边远的地带。

王下17:10 在各高冈上、各青翠树下立柱像和木偶； (串)何4:13|申12:2王上14:23王下16:4耶3:6|出23:24|出34:13王上14:23弥5:14

†[吕]又在各高冈上、各茂盛树下、立了崇拜柱子和亚舍拉神木；

†[思]在各高岗上，在所有的绿树下，竖有石柱和木偶；

†[当代]在各高冈上和绿树下，摆设柱像和亚舍拉神像，

†[新译]又在各高山顶上和每一棵青翠的树下竖立神柱和亚舍拉。

†[Wlb]在山冈之上、绿树之下、立柱像与木偶、

†[Xdv]又在所有的山丘上，在每一棵树荫下，竖起石柱和亚舍拉女神的像。

†[Kjv]And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:

†[Nkjv]They set up for themselves sacred pillars and wooden images on every high hill and under every green tree.

†[BBE]They put up pillars of stone and wood on every high hill and under every green tree:

†[GNT] On all the hills and under every shady tree they put up stone pillars and images of the goddess Asherah,

†[NIV]They set up sacred stones and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every spreading tree.

本会注释　　柱像。希伯来语是masseboth（见@申16:22@注释）。
　　木偶。希伯来语是'asherim（见@士3:7@注释）。设在“各青翠树下”（王上14:23），是女神亚舍拉的标志。

王下17:11 在邱坛上烧香，效法耶和华在他们面前赶出的外邦人所行的，又行恶事惹动耶和华的怒气；

†[吕]就在那里在邱坛上熏祭，正像永恒主从他们面前所掳走的外国人所行的一样；他们又行坏事来惹永恒主发怒；

†[思]在高丘上，依照上主从他们面前所驱逐的异民的习俗，焚香献祭，作恶激怒上主；

†[当代]习染了上主所赶走的外族人的败行。他们在神庙里烧香，做尽坏事，激怒了主。

†[新译]他们在各邱坛上献祭和焚香，好像耶和华从他们的面前掳去的外族人一样，又行恶事，使耶和华发怒。

†[Wlb]焚香于诸崇邱、效耶和华于其前所逐之异族、行诸恶事、激耶和华之怒、

†[Xdv]他们仿效那些上主赶走的外国人，在神庙里烧香。他们以邪恶的行为惹上主发怒；

†[Kjv]And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:

†[Nkjv]There they burned incense on all the high places, like the nations whom the LORD had carried away before them; and they did wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger,

†[BBE]Burning their offerings in all the high places, as those nations did whom the Lord sent away from before them; they did evil things, moving the Lord to wrath;

†[GNT] and they burned incense on all the pagan altars, following the practice of the people whom the Lord had driven out of the land. They aroused the Lord's anger with all their wicked deeds

†[NIV]At every high place they burned incense, as the nations whom the Lord had driven out before them had done. They did wicked things that provoked the Lord to anger.

本会注释　　上帝的怒气并不像人的怒气（见@王下13:3@注释）。祂恨恶罪恶却深爱罪人（《拾级就主》59页）。审判和刑罚固然是可怕的，但其中却包含着上帝的智慧和慈悲（《先知与君王》292页）。

王下17:12 且事奉偶像，就是耶和华警戒他们不可行的。 (串)出20:4

†[吕]并服事偶像、就是永恒主对他们说：“不可行这事”的。

†[思]又敬拜偶像，虽然天主曾明明吩咐他们说：你们不可行这样的事！

†[当代]他们不理会主再三的警告，去敬拜神像，

†[新译]他们又服事雕刻的偶像，耶和华曾警告他们不可以行这事。

†[Wlb]崇事偶像、即耶和华所言不可为者、

†[Xdv]他们去拜上主不准他们拜的偶像。

†[Kjv]For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.

†[Nkjv]for they served idols, of which the LORD had said to them, "You shall not do this thing."

†[BBE]And they made themselves servants of disgusting things, though the Lord had said, You are not to do this.

†[GNT] and disobeyed the Lord's command not to worship idols.

†[NIV]They worshiped idols, though the Lord had said, "You shall not do this."

本会注释　　偶像。希伯来语是gillulim，“木材，”“木块，”“不成形的东西。”在《旧约》中有十二个希伯来词都译成“偶像。”每一个词都从不同的角度解析了假神，比如，虚空的东西或不存在的，使人战栗或悲伤的等；这里的gillulim从外形上描述了偶像（见申29:17；王上15:12；21:26；王下23:24；结6:9；16:36）。

王下17:13 但耶和华藉众先知、先见劝戒以色列人和犹大人说：“当离开你们的恶行，谨守我的诫命律例，遵行我吩咐你们列祖，并藉我仆人众先知所传给你们的律法。” (串)尼9:30|撒上9:9|耶18:11;25:5;35:15

†[吕]但是永恒主由众神言人众先见者经手、屡次警谕以色列人和犹大人说：“应当转离你们罪的坏行径，谨守我的诫命律例，照我一切的律法去行，就是我吩咐你们列祖、并由我仆人神言人们经手传给你们的。”

本会注释　　劝戒。希伯来语是`ud。还可译为“严肃地规劝，”“反复地说，”“命令。”警告通常都是严厉的，但其目的是要帮助百姓意识到罪恶的危险并使他们离开所行的恶道。如果百姓不离开所行的恶道，至少他们也不能因为自己的厄运而抱怨上帝。没有一个被掳的人能说，要是我当初知道这是我所行恶道的结果，我本来会悔改的。上帝的公义就这样完全显明了，而公义是上帝在处理与人的关系中一项很重要的因素。从天而来的证言在今天扮演了相同的角色。上帝已用最大的真诚教导祂的百姓并向他们发出了最严肃的警告（见启3:14-22）。那些灭亡的人将毫无借口。
　　离开。这些事情上帝是不能替祂百姓做的。上帝可以邀请，恳求，劝导，激励，但他决不能强迫他们。如果人不降伏自己的意志，对于我们的得救上帝也不能做什么。上帝已经为以色列做了他所有能做的事情。“我为我葡萄园所作之外，还有什么可作的呢”（赛5:4）？下一步必须靠人自己来完成。

王下17:14 他们却不听从，竟硬着颈项，效法他们列祖，不信服耶和华他们的上帝， (串)申9:6;31:27代下30:8徒7:51

†[吕]他们却不听，竟硬着脖子，像他们那些不信服永恒主他们的上帝、的列祖硬着脖子一样；

†[思]他们却不听从，如同他们的祖先一样执拗，不肯相信上主他们的天主，

†[当代]但他们充耳不闻，一意孤行，像他们先祖一样，不信服主他们的上帝，

†[新译]可是他们不听从，反而硬着自己的颈项，好像他们的祖先，不信服耶和华他们的　神；

†[Wlb]惟彼弗听、强项不驯、如其不信厥上帝耶和华之列祖、

†[Xdv]但他们不肯听从；他们像他们的祖先一样顽固，不信靠上主──他们的上帝。

†[Kjv]Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.

†[Nkjv]Nevertheless they would not hear, but stiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God.

†[BBE]And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.

†[GNT] But they would not obey; they were stubborn like their ancestors, who had not trusted in the Lord their God.

†[NIV]But they would not listen and were as stiff-necked as their fathers, who did not trust in the Lord their God.

本会注释　　硬着颈项。这是一个常用的希伯来词语，表示人倔强、顽固、不顺服（申10:16；代下30:8；36:13；尼9:16,17,29；箴29:1；耶7:26；17:23；19:15）。以色列人经常被称作“硬着颈项的百姓”（出32:9；33:3,5；34:9；申9:6,13）。这种固执和倔强造成了他们的灭亡。
　　不信服。上下文似乎主要强调行为，插进了这样的一句话很有意思。许多人说《旧约》中的宗教不要求信心。的确那时大多数人的经验中几乎完全缺乏这种美德，但这不是上帝所命定的。无论是在基督之前还是现在，信心对于真实的宗教经验来说都是非常重要的。许多人不理解信心与行为之间的真正关系。信心与行为是分不开的。
　　上帝计划的目的是要将人的品格恢复到起初亚当在伊甸园中的完美状态。这只能通过信心与行为的结合才能成就。任何只强调信心而排斥行为的宗教只能否定信心的目标，并给人提供一种替代性的经验。行为不能救人，但得救的人必有好行为。
　　培养成熟的信心需要时间。只要以色列人愿意，上帝就会引导他们达到《旧约》时代信心的最高峰。百姓的失败在于他们“不信。”“只是所听见的道与他们无益，因为他们没有信心与所听见的道调和”（来4:2）。

本会注释　　一切诫命。罪的滋长就像癌症。当人开始违背耶和华诫命中的一条时，他很快就下意识地进一步走上悖逆的道路。当以色列人转离耶和华开始敬拜偶像时，他们很快就不知不觉地违犯了上帝全部的诫命。一位当时的先知公开谴责他们的叛逆：“这地上无诚实，无良善，无人认识上帝。但起假誓，不践前言，杀害，偷盗，奸淫，行强暴，杀人流血，接连不断”（何4:1,2）。
　　铸了……像。本节列举了以色列人所崇拜的各种偶像。那时在巴勒斯坦的偶像当中很少有以色列人不崇拜的。关于耶罗波安所造的金牛犊，见王上12:28-30；关于亚哈制造的“木偶，”希伯来文叫'asherah的，见王上16:33。

　　占卜。指人借用种种方法确定神明的旨意或从它们那里得到秘密的消息。
　　法术。指各种魔法和巫术。
　　卖了自己。凡涉足这些邪恶行为的人，成了以超自然和神秘仪式为伪装的魔鬼的仆人。他们不作上帝的儿女，反倒成了撒但的奴仆。他们会发现那恶者绝不是一个仁慈的主人（见王上21:20）。

†[NIV]Therefore the Lord rejected all the people of Israel; he afflicted them and gave them into the hands of plunderers, until he thrust them from his presence.

本会注释　　全族。最终包括犹大和以色列。
　　把他们交在。这是对整个国家的惩罚，不要与被掳之时这个民族个人的命运混淆起来。每一个公民个人与上帝的关系依然存在，因为它摆在惩罚的降临之前。上帝对待国家与对待个人的关系是不同的。两者之间大体上不是互相依赖的。降临到以色列头上的刑罚就是剥夺它作为一个国家的资格。的确，很多人因为国家的灾难而饱受痛苦，但敬虔在艰苦的情形下却茁壮成长，实际上个人在苦难结束时往往得到了益处。关于上帝对国家命运的控制，见《教育论》173-179页；赛10:5-12；哈1:6-11。

　　掳。只有少数余剩的人留了下来（见代下34:9）。这些北国以色列余剩的人与外邦通婚，采取他们的生活方式，忘记了祖辈的习俗，因此，犹大人拒绝承认他们是自己的弟兄。数年之后，为了与耶路撒冷的圣殿分庭抗礼，他们在基利心山上为自己另建了一座殿宇，在那里崇拜并施行自己的仪式礼节。被掳走的百姓再也没有回来。他们子孙中的一些人与犹大人中余剩的联合起来，就是得居鲁士之命返回故土的犹大人（拉1:1-4）。其他人与他们所住之地的百姓通婚，接受了他们的信仰和生活方式，失去了自己独特的性质。当然，也有一小部分人坚定信念，保持了自己的信仰，使他们的光照耀在他们所住之地，影响了一批人接受独一真神的崇拜。

本会注释　　从巴比伦。亚述的民族迁徙政策不仅针对以色列人，还用于所有的属国。巴比伦当时在亚述的控制之下，但全国的局势仍旧动荡不安。亚述为了防止叛乱，将很多巴比伦人迁到了以色列境内。撒珥根曾说，在他统治的初期，巴比伦爆发了一场起义，结果被镇压，而后有大批的巴比伦人被流放到哈梯（Hatti）地（亚兰和巴勒斯坦）。本节中提到的亚述王可能就是公元前722年登基作王的撒珥根。
　　古他。这座城就是巴比伦东北方向的Tell Ibr÷ahîm。
　　亚瓦。有人认为它是奥伦提斯河岸边的Tell Kafr `Ayā，位于霍姆斯的西南方。还有人提出另外一些地点，让它的具体位置变得扑朔迷离。
　　哈马。坐落在奥伦提斯河的岸边，大马士革以北，南边距离现代的霍姆斯45公里。亚述王撒珥根声称这里已被他征服（王下18:34；19:13）。哈马城现名Hama。
　　西法瓦音。先前被认为是幼发拉底河流域的西帕城，但现在有人认为是亚兰的西伯莲城，“在大马士革与哈马两界中间”（结47:16）。然而，这个地点在今天也不能完全确定。

王下17:25 他们才住那里的时候，不敬畏耶和华，所以耶和华叫狮子进入他们中间，咬死了些人。

†[吕]起初住在那里的时候，他们不敬畏永恒主；永恒主才打发狮子来到他们中间，咬死了他们中间一些人。

†[Xdv]刚住进去的时候，他们不敬拜上主，上主就差狮子咬死他们中的一些人。

†[Kjv]And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.

†[Nkjv]And it was so, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they did not fear the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them.

†[BBE]Now when first they were living there they did not give worship to the Lord. So the Lord sent lions among them, causing the death of some of them.

†[GNT] When they first settled there, they did not worship the Lord, and so he sent lions, which killed some of them.

†[NIV]When they first lived there, they did not worship the Lord ; so he sent lions among them and they killed some of the people.

本会注释　　狮子在古代的巴勒斯坦很常见（士14:5；撒上17:34；撒下23:20；箴22:13；26:13）。到了王国时期，尽管也时常提到（王上13:24；20:36），但数量已经很少了。在撒玛利亚沦陷后的混乱时期中，它们的数目和野性无疑大大增加了。中世纪的巴勒斯坦和叙利亚仍有狮子出没。

王下17:26 有人告诉亚述王说：“你所迁移安置在撒玛利亚各城的那些民，不知道那地之神的规矩，所以那神叫狮子进入他们中间，咬死他们。”

†[吕]有人告诉亚述王说：“你所迁徙去住在撒玛利亚各城的列国人、不知道那地的神的规矩；那神才打发狮子来到他们中间、咬死他们，因为他们不知道那地的神的规矩。”

†[新译]有人告诉亚述王说：“你所掳去，安置在撒玛利亚各城市的众民族不知道当地的神的规矩，所以他派狮子到他们中间。看哪，狮子咬死他们，因为他们不知道当地的神的规矩。”

†[Wlb]或告亚述王曰、王所移居撒玛利亚之族、不识斯土之神之律、故彼使狮入其中而杀之、

†[Xdv]有人告诉亚述皇帝，说那些移居撒马利亚的亚述人不知道当地神明的规矩，因此神明差狮子咬死他们。

本会注释　　古代东方的神明大都是地方性的。每一个神都有自己的特点（见王上20:23）。迁到以色列地的外族人认为，他们一定是在某些方面得罪了当地的神明，因此这些狮子被派来惩罚他们的。

王下17:27 亚述王就吩咐说：“叫所掳来的祭司回去一个，使他住在那里，将那地之神的规矩指教那些民。”

†[吕]亚述王就吩咐说：“叫从那里所迁徙来的祭司、一个回去那里，使他住在那里，将那地的神的规矩指教他们。”

†[思]亚述王于是下令说：“你们叫一个从撒玛黎雅掳来的司祭回去，住在那里，教给他们敬拜土神的礼仪。”

†[当代]亚述王下诏，派一位掳来的祭司回到撒马利亚去，把那神的规矩教导当地的居民。于是，有一位祭司奉派回去住在伯特利，教导居民该怎样敬畏主。

†[新译]于是亚述王下令：“我从那里掳来的祭司中，要叫一个回到那里去。他要去住在那里，教导他们当地的神的规矩。”

†[Wlb]亚述王命曰、尔曹自其地所虏之祭司、返其一人、使居其地、以其地之神之律诲众、

†[Xdv]于是皇帝下命令说：“把掳过来的祭司派一个回去，要他住在那里，好把当地神明的规矩教导人民。”

†[Kjv]Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.

†[Nkjv]Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, "Send there one of the priests whom you brought from there; let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the rituals of the God of the land."

†[BBE]Then the king of Assyria gave orders, saying, Send there one of the priests whom you took away, and let him be living there and teaching the people the way of the god of the land.

†[GNT] So the emperor commanded: "Send back one of the priests we brought as prisoners; have him go back and live there, in order to teach the people the law of the god of that land."

†[NIV]Then the king of Assyria gave this order: "Have one of the priests you took captive from Samaria go back to live there and teach the people what the god of the land requires."

本会注释　　这个被派回去的祭司可能是来自于原先但或伯特利的某个神坛。

王下17:28 于是有一个从撒玛利亚掳去的祭司回来，住在伯特利，指教他们怎样敬畏耶和华。 (串)王上12:29

†[吕]于是有一个从撒玛利亚迁徙去的祭司就回来，住在伯特利，指教他们怎样敬畏永恒主。

†[BBE]So one of the priests whom they had taken away as a prisoner from Samaria came back, and, living in Beth-el, became their teacher in the worship of the Lord.

†[GNT] So an Israelite priest who had been deported from Samaria went and lived in Bethel, where he taught the people how to worship the Lord.

†[NIV]So one of the priests who had been exiled from Samaria came to live in Bethel and taught them how to worship the Lord .

本会注释　　伯特利原先是以色列两个国家崇拜中心之一。现在返回的祭司可能以前就在这里供职。他确实教导百姓关于耶和华的知识，然而偶像崇拜还在继续。

王下17:29 然而，各族之人在所住的城里各为自己制造神像，安置在撒玛利亚人所造有邱坛的殿中。 (串)王上12:31;13:32

†[吕]虽然如此、一国一国的人仍造他们自己的神像，一国一国的人在他们所住的各城仍将本国的神像安置在撒玛利亚人所建造的邱坛庙里。

†[思]虽然如此，各个民族仍然制造自己的神，供在撒玛黎雅人所建的高丘上的庙宇中；各个民族在自己所住的城内，供着自己的神。

†[当代]可是这些从各地迁来的民族都各有自己的神只，他们把所造的神像安置在高地的撒马利亚人的神庙中。

†[新译]但各族的人仍然制造自己的神像，安放在撒玛利亚人所造各邱坛的庙中；各族人在他们所居住的城市都这样作。

†[Wlb]然各族之人、于其所居之邑、各为己造神像、置于撒玛利亚人所造崇邱之庙、

†[Xdv]可是，移居撒马利亚的人继续造偶像，把偶像放在以色列人建造的神庙中。每一族各在居住的城里造偶像：

†[Kjv]Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.

†[Nkjv]However every nation continued to make gods of its own, and put them in the shrines on the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities where they dwelt.

†[BBE]And every nation made gods for themselves, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in the towns where they were living.

†[GNT] But the people who settled in Samaria continued to make their own idols, and they placed them in the shrines that the Israelites had built. Each different group made idols in the cities they were living in:

†[NIV]Nevertheless, each national group made its own gods in the several towns where they settled, and set them up in the shrines the people of Samaria had made at the high places.

本会注释　　这些百姓被称为撒玛利亚人在《旧约》中只出现在这一次。

本会注释　　疏割-比讷。有人认为这可能是巴比伦神玛杜克的配偶Sarpanitu，或者是玛杜克自己的称号。
　　匿甲。巴比伦著名的战神，也是库塔（Cuthah）的守护神。
　　亚示玛。亚兰的女神，在亚兰的神话传说中非常有名。Ashim好像是公元前五世纪埃里芬泰因（Elephantine）的犹太人崇拜的神明之一。

†[NIV]the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire as sacrifices to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

本会注释　　匿哈。可能是亚瓦人崇拜的一个偶像，但它的身份无法确定。有人认为它是一个以拦的神明Ibna-Haza；另一些人则认为它是Mandaic的黑暗之神Nebaz。
　　他珥他。亚兰的一个神明。
　　焚烧儿女。与当地的摩洛崇拜方式类似。
　　亚得米勒。这是美索不达米亚西北部崇拜的一个神，名叫Adad-milki，意思是“哈达是王，”是亚兰人的神哈达的另一种形式。
　　亚拿米勒。意思可能是“亚奴（Anu）是王。”亚奴是米索不达米亚早期著名的天空之神。

王下17:32 他们惧怕耶和华，也从他们中间立邱坛的祭司，为他们在有邱坛的殿中献祭。 (串)王上12:31|本章29

†[吕]他们也敬畏永恒主，也从他们范围内的人为自己立邱坛的祭司、在邱坛庙里为他们献祭。

†[思]同时他们也敬拜上主，从自己中间选派一些人作高丘上的司祭，在高丘上的庙宇内自己献祭。

†[当代]只是他们也惧怕主，所以又在族人中委任一些祭司，为他们在高地的庙里献祭。

†[新译]他们也惧怕耶和华，所以从他们中间选立邱坛的祭司，替他们在邱坛的庙里献祭。

†[Wlb]斯众乃寅畏耶和华、亦从其中简立祭司、以司崇邱、为之献祭于崇邱之庙、

†[Xdv]这些人同时也敬拜上主，从他们当中的各阶层选出各种人来作祭司，在山丘上的神庙事奉，并且在那里替他们献牲祭。

†[Kjv]So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.

†[Nkjv]So they feared the LORD, and from every class they appointed for themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places.

†[BBE]So they went on worshipping the Lord, and made for themselves, from among all the people, priests for the high places, to make offerings for them in the houses of the high places.

†[GNT] These people also worshiped the Lord and chose from among their own number all sorts of people to serve as priests at the pagan places of worship and to offer sacrifices for them there.

†[NIV]They worshiped the Lord , but they also appointed all sorts of their own people to officiate for them as priests in the shrines at the high places.

本会注释　　惧怕耶和华。以前（第25节）他们“不敬畏耶和华。”伯特利祭司的影响没有使他们成为真正敬拜上帝的人。这些人一面敬拜他们自己的神明，一面又在某种程度上承认以色列民族的上帝。
　　从他们中间。他们从百姓的各个阶层中为自己选立祭司，很少顾及这些将要献身宗教服侍之人应有的资格。

王下17:33 他们又惧怕耶和华，又事奉自己的神，从何邦迁移，就随何邦的风俗。 (串)番1:5

†[吕]这样、永恒主他们也敬畏；他们自己的神他们也服事：从哪一国迁徙来的、就随哪一国的规矩。

†[思]这样，他们也敬拜上主，也奉事自己的神，从那一国徙置而来的，就照那一国的礼仪。

†[当代]他们就是这样的又惧怕主又事奉自己的神只，从哪国移民来的，就用那国的祭礼。

†[新译]他们既惧怕耶和华，又服事他们的神；从哪个民族掳来的，就按照哪个民族的习俗服事他们的神。

†[Wlb]如是、斯众寅畏耶和华、又事己神、循其所自徙诸族之例、

†[Xdv]他们敬拜上主，但也按照他们本国的风俗拜自己的神明。

†[Kjv]They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

†[Nkjv]They feared the LORD, yet served their own gods--according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away.

†[BBE]They gave worship to the Lord, but they gave honour to their gods like the nations did from whom they had been taken as prisoners.

†[GNT] So they worshiped the Lord, but they also worshiped their own gods according to the customs of the countries from which they had come.

†[NIV]They worshiped the Lord , but they also served their own gods in accordance with the customs of the nations from which they had been brought.

王下17:34 他们直到如今仍照先前的风俗去行，不专心敬畏耶和华，不全守自己的规矩、典章，也不遵守耶和华吩咐雅各后裔的律法、诫命。（雅各，就是从前耶和华起名叫以色列的。） (串)创32:28;35:10王上18:31

†[Wlb]至今尚循往例、不诚畏耶和华、不循己之典章律例、不遵耶和华所命雅各后裔之法律诫命、夫雅各、昔耶和华名之曰以色列、

†[Xdv]他们到今天仍然保持旧有的风俗；他们不敬拜上主，也没有遵守上主给雅各后代的法律诫命。（上主曾给雅各起名叫以色列。）

†[Kjv]Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;

†[Nkjv]To this day they continue practicing the former rituals; they do not fear the LORD, nor do they follow their statutes or their ordinances, or the law and commandment which the LORD had commanded the children of Jacob, whom He named Israel,

†[BBE]So to this day they go on in their old ways, not worshipping the Lord or keeping his orders or his ways or the law and the rule which the Lord gave to the children of Jacob, to whom he gave the name Israel;

†[GNT] They still carry on their old customs to this day. They do not worship the Lord nor do they obey the laws and commands which he gave to the descendants of Jacob, whom he named Israel.

†[NIV]To this day they persist in their former practices. They neither worship the Lord nor adhere to the decrees and ordinances, the laws and commands that the Lord gave the descendants of Jacob, whom he named Israel.

本会注释　　不专心敬畏耶和华。这句话与第33节并不矛盾。第33节说到，对耶和华的崇拜与其它假神的崇拜搀杂在一起。本节强调那样做并不是真正意义上的认识耶和华。否则他们就会探索祂的律法并努力遵守。但没有人可以既侍奉偶像又服侍上帝。只有一位真神。那些以任何方式承认假神的人都不可能真正敬畏耶和华，尽管他们可以假装敬畏。
　　守自己的规矩。这种撒玛利亚混合式的新宗教不能也不会认可耶和华赐给祂百姓的律例。耶和华的律法和摩西律法书上的典章大部分被忽略了。那些留在本地的以色列人与新来的定居者混杂并在他们的信仰上与其联合（见王下23:19；代下34:3-7,33；约4:22）。

王下17:35 耶和华曾与他们立约，嘱咐他们说：“不可敬畏别神，不可跪拜事奉它，也不可向它献祭。 (串)士6:10|出20:5

本会注释　　约。见出19:5,6。
　　不可敬畏别神。上帝的十诫是祂与祂百姓所立之约的基础（出20:1-17；34:27,28）。前两条诫命禁止承认其它神明并禁止拜偶像（出20:3-5）。

†[NIV]You must always be careful to keep the decrees and ordinances, the laws and commands he wrote for you. Do not worship other gods.

本会注释　　给你们写的。这些都写在书卷上，好使上帝的神圣要求不受误解（见出24:3,4）。

王下17:38 我耶和华与你们所立的约你们不可忘记，也不可敬畏别神。 (串)申4:23

†[吕]我同你们立的约、你们不可忘记；你们也不可敬畏别的神；

†[思]我与你们立的盟约，不要忘记，也不要敬拜别的神，

†[当代]主又嘱咐他们不可忘记与祂所立的盟约去敬畏别的神；

†[新译]他和你们所立的约你们不可忘记，不要崇敬别的神。

†[Wlb]勿忘我与尔所立之约、勿寅畏他神、

王下17:39 但要敬畏耶和华你们的上帝，他必救你们脱离一切仇敌的手。”

†[吕]只要敬畏永恒主你们的上帝，他就援救你们脱离一切仇敌的手。”

†[思]只应敬拜上主你们的天主，他必拯救你们脱离你们一切仇敌的权势。”

†[Nkjv]But the LORD your God you shall fear; and He will deliver you from the hand of all your enemies."

†[BBE]And you are to give worship to the Lord your God; for it is he who will give you salvation from the hands of all who are against you.

†[GNT] But those people would not listen, and they continued to follow their old customs.

†[NIV]They would not listen, however, but persisted in their former practices.

本会注释　　照先前的风俗。上帝与以色列人立约之后，百姓立即就答应要顺从这约（出24:3,7），但他们很快就偏离了上帝的吩咐，在金牛犊前下拜献祭（出32:8）。

王下17:41 如此这些民又惧怕耶和华，又事奉他们的偶像。他们子子孙孙也都照样行，效法他们的祖宗，直到今日。

†[吕]所以这些列国的人又敬畏永恒主，又服事他们自己的雕像；他们的子子孙孙也这样：他们的列祖怎样行，直到今日他们也怎样行。

†[思]这样，这些人民敬拜上主，又事奉他们的雕像；他们的子子孙孙也是如此：祖先怎样行，子孙也怎样行，直到今日。

†[当代]至于那些移民到撒马利亚各城的外族人，他们又惧怕主，又事奉自己的神像，直到今日，他们的子孙也是这样。

†[新译]这样，这些民族一方面敬畏耶和华；另一方面又继续服事他们的偶像。他们的子子孙孙继续照着他们的祖先所行的去行，直到今日。

†[Wlb]如是、斯族寅畏耶和华、又奉事其雕像、其子与孙亦若是、厥祖所行、彼亦效之、迄于今日、

†[Xdv]那些人民既敬拜上主，又拜他们的偶像；直到今天，他们的后代仍然如此。

†[Kjv]So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

†[Nkjv]So these nations feared the LORD, yet served their carved images; also their children and their children's children have continued doing as their fathers did, even to this day.

†[BBE]So these nations, worshipping the Lord, still were servants to the images they had made; their children and their children's children did the same; as their fathers did, so do they, to this day.

†[GNT] So those people worshiped the Lord, but they also worshiped their idols; and to this day their descendants continue to do the same.

†[NIV]Even while these people were worshiping the Lord , they were serving their idols. To this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their fathers did.

本会注释　　直到今日。从这句话可以看出，作者与他所描述的事件不属于同一个时代。他的日子稍晚，可能是在犹大王国毁灭之后（见本卷注释第716页）。埃里芬泰因纸草卷（见《SDA圣经注释》卷一第108页）证实在以斯拉和尼希米时代，“犹太人”──这些纸草卷的作者这样自称──的宗教中除了耶和华之外还敬拜许多异教的神明。这些犹太人定居在埃及，但仍旧和耶路撒冷的大祭司以及撒玛利亚的总督──Sanballat的儿子们──保持联系。
　　以色列的历史就这样结束了。这个民族“在万民中”本应作属耶和华的“子民”（出19:5）。没有一个民族发端时拥有比以色列人更光明的前途，也没有一个国家遭遇过比他们更大的责备和羞辱。以色列在悲惨的经验中认识到，“公义使邦国高举，罪恶是人民的羞辱”（箴14:34）。
　　我们对北方支派被掳之后的情形知之甚少。许多人可能与他们所居之地的百姓融合了，并失去了自己的独特性。其他一些人继续敬拜耶和华并与被掳到巴比伦的犹太人联合（见耶50:4,20,33）。还有一些人与犹大的流亡者在所罗巴伯和以斯拉的带领下回到耶路撒冷（拉8:35；代上9:3）。新约时代的犹太人和改信犹太教的人在以下各地居住：玛代，帕提亚，以拦，加帕多家，弗吕家，埃及，利比亚，古利奈，克里特，阿拉伯和整个东方（徒2:9-11）。这些被亚述掳走的以色列人后裔到底有多少如今不得而知。
