士师记第20章

《圣经》士师记-第20章

士20:1 于是以色列从但到别是巴，以及住基列地的众人都出来，如同一人，聚集在米斯巴耶和华面前。 (串)撒上3:20撒下3:10;24:2|书22:12士21:5|撒上11:7|士11:11撒上7:5;10:17

†[吕]于是以色列众人都出来，从但到别是巴、以及基列地、会众都聚集在米斯巴永恒主面前、如同一人。

†[思]于是以色列全体子民出动，从丹到贝尔舍巴，以及基肋阿得地，全会众集合起来好像一个人一样，来到米兹帕上主面前。

†[当代]于是，全以色列和基列的领袖们率领著四十万大军，万众一心地齐集在米斯巴，站在主的面前。

†[新译]于是以色列众人都出来，从但到别是巴，以及基列地的众人，都在米斯巴耶和华面前聚集起来如同一人。

†[Wlb]于是以色列众咸出、自但至别是巴、暨基列地之民、有如一人、集于米斯巴、在耶和华前、

†[Xdv]全体以色列人民，从北部的但到南部的别是巴，东到基列地，都前来应召。大家一条心，聚集在米斯巴，在上主面前。

†[Kjv]Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.

†[Nkjv]So all the children of Israel came out, from Dan to Beersheba, as well as from the land of Gilead, and the congregation gathered together as one man before the LORD at Mizpah.

†[BBE]Then all the children of Israel took up arms, and the people came together like one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, before the Lord at Mizpah.

†[GNT] All the people of Israel from Dan in the north to Beersheba in the south, as well as from the land of Gilead in the east, answered the call. They gathered in one body in the Lord's presence at Mizpah.

†[NIV]Then all the Israelites from Dan to Beersheba and from the land of Gilead came out as one man and assembled before the LORD in Mizpah.

本会注释　　从但到别是巴。即从希伯来人最北端的居住地但城（见士18章）到以色列人最南端、犹大南部边缘的居住地别是巴。这种说法在圣经中出现过七次（士20:1；撒上 3:20；撒下 3:10； 17:11； 24:2,15；王上 4:25)。有一次是说，从别是巴到但(代上 21:2)。
　　基列地。似乎包括约旦河东的所有希伯来人（见士5:17；11:5,6等）。所有的希伯来定居地都派出代表，除了基列雅比之外（士21:8,10）。
　　都出来。出来准备战斗（见士2:15等）
　　如同一人。这是一次自发的集会，是他们认真讨论这个问题的结果。
　　米斯巴。这个定居地常常被界定为耶路撒冷西北4.8 公里处的山地，离基比亚犯罪现场4.8 公里。这座山约914米高，更可能是耶路撒冷北部12 公里的泰奥拿贝。便雅悯的米斯巴在其他时候作为各支派的集合地（撒上 7:5-17； 10:17）。这是约书亚的日子以来所有希伯来人的第一次大聚集。
　　在耶和华面前。不一定指他们把约柜或会幕搬到这里，也不是说米斯巴就是设置约柜的示罗。大卫曾在希伯仑“耶和华面前”被立为王（撒下 5:3）。然而那里并没有约柜。这句话可能指他们集合一起讨论采取什么行动，并祈求上帝引领他们的商议（见书24:1；也见士 20:27）。

士20:2 以色列民的首领，就是各支派的军长，都站在上帝百姓的会中；拿刀的步兵共有四十万。 (串)撒上14:38

†[吕]以色列各族派众民的中坚人物都站在上帝人民的大众中；能拔刀的有四十万人。

†[思]全民众，即以色列各支派的首领，都参与天主百姓的集会；拿刀的步兵，共有四十万。

†[当代]－

†[新译]全民的领袖，就是以色列众支派的领袖，都站在　神子民的会中；拿刀的步兵共有四十万人。

†[Wlb]民长与以色列诸支派、集为上帝民会、执兵步卒、共四十万、

†[Xdv]以色列各支族的首领都出席了这次上帝子民的聚会。步兵有四十万人。

†[Kjv]And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.

†[Nkjv]And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand foot soldiers who drew the sword.

†[BBE]And the chiefs of the people, out of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the meeting of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen armed with swords.

†[GNT] The leaders of all the tribes of Israel were present at this gathering of God's people, and there were 400,000 foot soldiers.

†[NIV]The leaders of all the people of the tribes of Israel took their places in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand soldiers armed with swords.

本会注释　　首领。直译是“角落”或“角石”。各支派的栋梁和骨干都来到了米斯巴。

士20:3 以色列人上到米斯巴，便雅悯人都听见了。以色列人说：“请你将这件恶事的情由对我们说明。”

†[吕]［以色列人上米斯巴、便雅悯人都听见了。］以色列人说：“这件坏事的经过怎么样、请说说明白。”

†[思]本雅明子孙也听说以色列子民上到了米兹帕。以色列子民说：“这件恶事是怎样发生的，请你们述说一遍！”

†[当代]以色列军在米斯巴齐集的消息很快便传到便雅悯人那里去。另一方面，以色列的领袖们也把被害女子的丈夫召来，问明原委。

†[新译]（以色列人上到米斯巴来，便雅悯人听见了。）以色列人说：“这件恶事是怎样发生的？你们说吧。”

†[Wlb]以色列人至米斯巴、为便雅悯人所闻、以色列人问曰、此恶之由、请以告我、

†[Xdv]同时，便雅悯人也听说所有其它的以色列人都集合在米斯巴。以色列人问：“告诉我们，这种可恶的事怎么发生的？”

†[Kjv]Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?

†[Nkjv](Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) Then the children of Israel said, "Tell us, how did this wicked deed happen?"

†[BBE](Now the children of Benjamin had word that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the children of Israel said, Make clear how this evil thing took place.

†[GNT] Meanwhile the people of Benjamin heard that all the other Israelites had gathered at Mizpah. The Israelites asked, "Tell us, how was this crime committed?"

†[NIV]The Benjamites heard that the Israelites had gone up to Mizpah.) Then the Israelites said, "Tell us how this awful thing happened."

本会注释　　便雅悯人都听见了。以色列人集合起来要惩罚罪恶，这个消息在第一批人到达米斯巴的时候，甚至是他们到达之前，可能就传到基比亚的便雅悯人那里了。也可能是便雅悯和其他支派收到了一样的召唤（见士19:29）。
　　对我们说明。这是对利未人说的。以色列人聚集在一起，要求利未人亲自讲述基比亚人的罪行。

士20:4 那利未人，就是被害之妇人的丈夫，回答说：“我和我的妾到了便雅悯的基比亚住宿。 (串)士19:15

†[吕]那‘利未人’、那被杀害的妇人的丈夫、回答说：“我和我的妾到了便雅悯的基比亚去过夜。

†[思]那被杀的女子的丈夫肋末人就回答说：“我与我的妾来到属本雅明的基贝亚，要在那过夜，

†[当代]他开始陈述：“一天晚上，我和我的妾侍来到便雅悯境内的基比亚，

†[新译]那利未人，就是被害的妇人的丈夫，回答说：“我和我的妾到了便雅悯的基比亚，要在那里住宿。

†[Wlb]被杀之妇、其夫利未人对曰、我与妾至便雅悯之基比亚、止宿于彼、

†[Xdv]那利未人，就是被害女人的丈夫，回答：“我和我的妾到便雅悯境内的基比亚过夜；

†[Kjv]And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.

†[Nkjv]So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "My concubine and I went into Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin, to spend the night.

†[BBE]Then the Levite, the husband of the dead woman, said in answer, I came to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin, I and my servant-wife, for the purpose of stopping there for the night.

†[GNT] The Levite whose concubine had been murdered answered, "My concubine and I went to Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin to spend the night.

†[NIV]So the Levite, the husband of the murdered woman, said, "I and my concubine came to Gibeah in Benjamin to spend the night.

士20:5 基比亚人夜间起来，围了我住的房子，想要杀我，又将我的妾强奸致死。 (串)士19:22

†[吕]基比亚的公民起来攻打我，趁夜围了我住的房子；想要杀我；他们将我的妾强奸致死。

†[思]基贝亚的公民起来攻击我，夜间包围我过夜的住宅，企图杀害我，并把我的妾强奸致死。

†[当代]当天晚上，基比亚人包围我们投宿的房子，要把我杀死。他们污辱我的妾侍，把她折磨致死。

†[新译]基比亚人民起来攻击我，在夜间包围我住的房子攻击我，有意杀害我；他们把我的妾污辱致死。

†[Wlb]及夜、基比亚人起而攻我、环室、意欲杀我、淫污我妾致死、

†[Xdv]那晚基比亚人来包围房子，要捉我，杀我，后来却强奸我的妾，她就死了。

†[Kjv]And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.

†[Nkjv]And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house at night because of me. They intended to kill me, but instead they ravished my concubine so that she died.

†[BBE]And the townsmen of Gibeah came together against me, going round the house on all sides by night; it was their purpose to put me to death, and my servant-wife was violently used by them and is dead.

†[GNT] The men of Gibeah came to get me and surrounded the house at night. They intended to kill me; instead they raped my concubine, and she died.

†[NIV]During the night the men of Gibeah came after me and surrounded the house, intending to kill me. They raped my concubine, and she died.

本会注释　　想要杀我。这样的恐吓虽然前一章没有记录，但可能是接在士19:22所记意图的实施之后。

士20:6 我就把我妾的尸身切成块子，使人拿着传送以色列得为业的全地，因为基比亚人在以色列中行了凶淫丑恶的事。 (串)士19:29|士19:23

†[吕]我就把我的妾切成块子，送遍以色列基业的各乡间；因为基比亚人在以色列中行了罪大恶极的丑事。

†[思]因为他们在以色列中间行了这穷凶极恶的丑事，我遂将我的妾切成碎块，遍送以色列基业各地。

†[当代]我就把她的尸体肢解成十二块，分发到以色列各族去，把这些丑恶的罪行告诸天下。

†[新译]我就把我的妾切成块子，送到以色列的各地业，因为基比亚人在以色列中行了极羞耻的恶事。

†[Wlb]彼行淫乱谬妄之事、在以色列中、故我取妾而脔之、遍送于以色列四境、

†[Xdv]我把她的尸体切成一块一块，分送到以色列十二支族，一支族一块。这些人在我们当中做了这么邪恶、缺德的事。

†[Kjv]And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.

†[Nkjv]So I took hold of my concubine, cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel, because they committed lewdness and outrage in Israel.

†[BBE]So I took her, cutting her into parts which I sent through all the country of the heritage of Israel: for they have done an act of shame in Israel.

†[GNT] I took her body, cut it in pieces, and sent one piece to each of the twelve tribes of Israel. These people have committed an evil and immoral act among us.

†[NIV]I took my concubine, cut her into pieces and sent one piece to each region of Israel's inheritance, because they committed this lewd and disgraceful act in Israel.

士20:7 你们以色列人都当筹划商议。” (串)士19:30

†[吕]你们都注意吧，以色列人哪；对于这事、你们务要发表言论和计谋。”

†[思]以色列子孙，请你们大家说出你们的意见和对策。”

†[当代]以色列的子孙啊，请你们替我作主处理吧！”

†[新译]以色列人哪，你们都要说出你们的意见，也要在这里提出你们的对策。”

†[Wlb]请尔以色列众为之画策、而建议焉、

†[Xdv]你们在这里的人都是以色列人；我们要怎样处理这件事呢？”

†[Kjv]Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.

†[Nkjv]Look! All of you are children of Israel; give your advice and counsel here and now!"

†[BBE]Here you all are, you children of Israel; give now your suggestions about what is to be done.

†[GNT] All of you here are Israelites. What are we going to do about this?"

†[NIV]Now, all you Israelites, speak up and give your verdict."

士20:8 众民都起来如同一人，说：“我们连一人都不回自己帐棚、自己房屋去。

†[吕]于是众民都起来、如同一人，说：“我们各人都不往帐棚去；我们各人都不回家去。

†[思]那时全体民众好像一个人一样都起来说：“我们中谁也不要返回自己的帐幕，谁也不要回自己的家，

†[当代]他们听了就异口同声地说：“在我们没有好好地教训基比亚人以前，我们誓不回去。现在，我们要用抽签的方法抽出十分之一的人负责粮食，其余的就负责痛惩基比亚的劣行。”

†[新译]于是众人都起来如同一人，说：“我们当中谁都不回自己的帐棚，谁都不回自己的家。

†[Wlb]民众悉起、有如一人、曰、我不返幕归家、

†[Xdv]所有的人都站起来，说：“我们不管是住帐棚的还是住房子的都不回家。

†[Kjv]And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.

†[Nkjv]So all the people arose as one man, saying, "None of us will go to his tent, nor will any turn back to his house;

†[BBE]Then all the people got up as one man and said, Not one of us will go to his tent or go back to his house:

†[GNT] All the people stood up together and said, "None of us, whether he lives in a tent or in a house, will go home.

†[NIV]All the people rose as one man, saying, "None of us will go home. No, not one of us will return to his house.

本会注释　　利未人讲述了他受辱的经过以后，聚集的民众群情激愤，同仇敌忾。他们无人愿意回家，直到复仇之后。

士20:9 我们向基比亚人必这样行，照所掣的签去攻击他们。

†[吕]现在对基比亚我们要这样行：我们要凭拈阄上去攻打它。

†[思]现在我们就要这样对付基贝亚，抽签进攻，

†[当代]－

†[新译]现在我们要这样对待基比亚人：我们要照着所抽的签上去攻打他们。

†[Wlb]必掣签、往攻基比亚、

†[Xdv]我们该这样做：我们要抽签，选一些人去打基比亚（希伯来文是：到基比亚去）。

†[Kjv]But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;

†[Nkjv]but now this is the thing which we will do to Gibeah: We will go up against it by lot.

†[BBE]But this is what we will do to Gibeah: we will go up against it by the decision of the Lord;

†[GNT] This is what we will do: we will draw lots and choose some men to attack Gibeah.

†[NIV]But now this is what we'll do to Gibeah: We'll go up against it as the lot directs.

本会注释　　他们决定投入战斗，去攻击基比亚的城邑并要求这些行恶者投降。

士20:10 我们要在以色列各支派中，一百人挑取十人，一千人挑取百人，一万人挑取千人，为民运粮，等大众到了便雅悯的基比亚，就照基比亚人在以色列中所行的丑事征伐他们。”

†[吕]要按以色列众族派、每百人中取十人、每千人中取一百人，每万人中取一千人，去为众民取粮，使他们到达的时候、可以惩办便雅悯的基比亚（传统：迦巴），按照他们在以色列中所行的各样丑事应受的惩罚。”

†[思]由以色列各支派中，每百人抽十人，每千人抽百人，每万人抽千人，给民众运送军粮；待众人到达本雅明的基贝亚后，按照那城在以色列中间所行丑事报复它。”

†[当代]－

†[新译]我们要从以色列各支派中，每百人抽取十人，每千人抽取百人，每万人抽取千人，好为人民运送粮食；等他们到了便雅悯的基比亚的时候，就可以照着他们在以色列中所行的一切羞耻的事惩罚他们。”

†[Wlb]于以色列诸支派中、百取十、千取百、万取千、使备糇粮、迨众至便雅悯之基比亚、则依其在以色列中、所行谬妄之事以待之、

†[Xdv]以色列十分之一的人要供给军粮，其它的要去讨伐基比亚（希伯来文是：迦巴），因为他们在以色列中犯了这缺德的罪。”

†[Kjv]And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the fol

†[Nkjv]We will take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to make provisions for the people, that when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, they may repay all the

†[BBE]And we will take ten men out of every hundred, through all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, a thousand out of every ten thousand, to get food for the people, so that they may give to Gibeah of Benjamin the right punishment for the ac

†[GNT] One tenth of the men in Israel will provide food for the army, and the others will go and punish Gibeah for this immoral act that they have committed in Israel."

†[NIV]We'll take ten men out of every hundred from all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred from a thousand, and a thousand from ten thousand, to get provisions for the army. Then, when the army arrives at Gibeah in Benjamin, it can give them what they deserve f

本会注释　　一百人挑取十人。这么多人安营在一个地方，很难使所有的人得到食物，全部军兵的十分之一由挚签选出，被派去为集结的队伍征集粮食。就这样一个人为前线的九个人提供食物。

士20:11 于是以色列众人彼此连合如同一人，聚集攻击那城。

†[吕]于是以色列众人彼此连合、如同一人，大家聚集、要攻击那城。

†[思]于是以色列人联合起来攻击那城，彼此合作有如一人。

†[当代]所有的以色列人就团结一致，誓惩恶贼。

†[新译]于是以色列众人彼此联合，如同一人，聚集起来攻击那城。

†[Wlb]于是以色列众咸集、连络为一、以攻斯邑、

†[Xdv]于是所有以色列人彼此一条心，聚集攻击那城。

†[Kjv]So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.

†[Nkjv]So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united together as one man.

†[BBE]So all the men of Israel were banded together against the town, united like one man.

†[GNT] So all the men in Israel assembled with one purpose - to attack the town.

†[NIV]So all the men of Israel got together and united as one man against the city.

本会注释　　彼此联合如同一人。直译是“联合起来如同一个团体”。鉴于希伯来各支派的不同利益，这样的团结一致是不同寻常的。

士20:12 以色列众支派打发人去，问便雅悯支派的各家说：“你们中间怎么做了这样的恶事呢？

†[吕]以色列众族派打发人到便雅悯族派（传统：复数）中去问说：“你们中间所行的这坏事是怎么回事呢？

†[思]以色列众支派差人往本雅明支派的各家说：“你们中间怎么发生了这样的恶事？

†[当代]他们遣使质问便雅悯人说：“你们可知道自己境内有人干出罪大恶极的事来吗？

†[新译]以色列各支派打发人到便雅悯的各家去，说：“你们中间怎么发生了这样的恶事呢？

†[Wlb]以色列支派遣人谓便雅悯支派曰、尔中所行何恶、

†[Xdv]以色列各支族派使者走遍便雅悯支族境内，对他们说：“你们犯了滔天大罪！”

†[Kjv]And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?

†[Nkjv]Then the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What is this wickedness that has occurred among you?

†[BBE]And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin saying, What is this evil which has been done among you?

†[GNT] The Israelite tribes sent messengers all through the territory of the tribe of Benjamin to say, "What is this crime that you have committed?

†[NIV]The tribes of Israel sent men throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What about this awful crime that was committed among you?

本会注释　　在诉诸于武力之前，集结的以色列人劝告便雅悯支派，敦促他们认识到所犯罪行的严重性，交出必须处死的罪犯。这是一个公平的提议。有罪的匪徒应该为他们所犯的罪而受到惩罚。

士20:13 现在你们要将基比亚的那些匪徒交出来，我们好治死他们，从以色列中除掉这恶。”便雅悯人却不肯听从他们弟兄以色列人的话。 (串)申13:13士19:22撒下20:1王上21:10,13|申13:5;17:7林前5:13

†[吕]现在你们要将那些人、在基比亚的那些无赖子、交出来，我们好把他们处死，而从你们中间肃清那坏事。”便雅悯人却不情愿听他们族弟兄以色列人的话。

†[思]现在你们把那些人，即基贝亚的无赖之徒，交出来，我们好处死他们，从以色列中铲除这邪恶。”本雅明子孙却不肯听从他兄弟们以色列子民的呼声；

†[当代]快把这些基比亚狂徒交出来，接受我们的处决，好抹掉以色列所蒙的污点。”可是，便雅悯人却是充耳不闻；

†[新译]现在你们要把那些人，基比亚的无赖之徒，交出来，我们好处死他们，从以色列中除掉这恶。”只是便雅悯人却不肯听从他们的兄弟以色列人的话。

†[Wlb]今以基比亚之匪徒付我、俾致之死、以除恶于以色列中、便雅悯人不听同侪以色列人之言、

†[Xdv]现在把那些基比亚的无赖交出来，我们要治死他们，好从以色列中除去邪恶。可是便雅悯人不理这些以色列人；

†[Kjv]Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel.

†[Nkjv]Now therefore, deliver up the men, the perverted men who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove the evil from Israel!" But the children of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the children of Israel.

†[BBE]Now give up those good-for-nothing persons in Gibeah so that we may put them to death, clearing away the evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not give ear to the voice of their brothers, the children of Israel.

†[GNT] Now hand over those perverts in Gibeah, so that we can kill them and remove this evil from Israel." But the people of Benjamin paid no attention to the other Israelites.

†[NIV]Now surrender those wicked men of Gibeah so that we may put them to death and purge the evil from Israel." But the Benjamites would not listen to their fellow Israelites.

本会注释　　除掉这恶。所犯的罪非常严重，必须处以死刑。只有这样，各支派才得以摆脱罪疚（见申13:5；17:7；19:19-21）。
　　不肯听从。便雅悯支派宁愿内战也不交出罪犯，在这种情况下，支派的利益和自尊使他们支持和袒护这些罪大恶极的匪徒。

士20:14 便雅悯人从他们的各城里出来，聚集到了基比亚，要与以色列人打仗。

†[吕]便雅悯人从各城出来，聚集到了基比亚，要同以色列人交战。

†[思]本雅明子孙反而从各城聚集起来，来到基贝亚，要与以色列子民交战。

†[当代]相反地，他们还派了一队为数二万六千人的便雅悯大军到基比亚去，汇合当地的七百人，一同对抗以色列的其他各族。

†[新译]便雅悯人从各城出来聚集，往基比亚去，要与以色列人交战。

†[Wlb]乃由诸邑、集于基比亚、欲与以色列人战、

†[Xdv]他们从便雅悯各城来到基比亚，要跟这些以色列人作战。

†[Kjv]But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.

†[Nkjv]Instead, the children of Benjamin gathered together from their cities to Gibeah, to go to battle against the children of Israel.

†[BBE]And the children of Benjamin came together from all their towns to Gibeah, to go to war with the children of Israel.

†[GNT] From all the cities of Benjamin they came to Gibeah to fight the other people of Israel.

†[NIV]From their towns they came together at Gibeah to fight against the Israelites.

本会注释　　便雅悯支派表现出极大的勇气，然而却是维护邪恶的事业。

士20:15 那时，便雅悯人从各城里点出拿刀的，共有二万六千；另外还有基比亚人点出七百精兵。 (串)民1:37;26:41

†[吕]那一天便雅悯人从各城被点阅的有能拔刀的二万六千人；另外被点阅的、有基比亚的居民、七百名精兵。

†[思]那一天，本雅明人从各城来的共计两万六千拿刀的，基贝亚的居民尚未计算在内。

†[当代]－

†[新译]那时便雅悯人，从各城里被数点的，共有二万六千拿刀的，另外被数点的，还有基比亚的居民，共有七百精兵。

†[Wlb]便雅悯诸邑执兵之士、计二万六千、其外有基比亚选兵、计七百、

†[Xdv]那天，他们从各城召集了两万六千兵士。除此以外，基比亚的居民也召集了七百名使用左手、特别挑选过的人（希伯来文又加一句：在全军当中有七百个特选的精兵）。他们每一个都能甩石头，毫发不差。

†[Kjv]And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.

†[Nkjv]And from their cities at that time the children of Benjamin numbered twentysix thousand men who drew the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred select men.

†[BBE]And the children of Benjamin who came that day from the towns were twenty-six thousand men armed with swords, in addition to the people of Gibeah, numbering seven hundred of the best fighting-men,

†[GNT] They called out twenty-six thousand soldiers from their cities that day. Besides these, the citizens of Gibeah gathered seven hundred specially chosen men who were left-handed. Every one of them could sling a stone at a strand of hair and never miss.

†[NIV]At once the Benjamites mobilized twenty-six thousand swordsmen from their towns, in addition to seven hundred chosen men from those living in Gibeah.

本会注释　　二万六千。少于四十年旷野漂流结束时人口普查的人数（民26:41），只有其三分之一多，同样的人口减少也出现在其他支派（见士20:17）。

士20:16 在众军之中有拣选的七百精兵，都是左手便利的，能用机弦甩石打人，毫发不差。 (串)士3:15代上12:2

†[吕]在这军中有七百名精兵、是能用左手的；个个都能用机弦甩石，毫发不差。

†[思]在这些人中，还有特选的七百精兵，左右开弓，个个能用机弦抛石，毫不爽。

†[当代]他们当中有七百名善用左手的神射手。他们百发百中，丝毫不差。

†[新译]在这些人中，还有七百精兵是善用左手的，个个都能用机弦拋石，毫发不差。

†[Wlb]众中有所简左手较捷之卒七百、以绳发石、不爽毫发、

本会注释　　七百。这些使用机弦的熟练射手，可能就是前一节所述的，在便雅悯军队中代表基比亚的七百人。不大可能同时提到两批不同的七百人。但也不能排除这样的巧合
　　毫发不差。表示极其准确，便雅悯人后来也因善于用机弦甩石射箭而受到关注（代上12:2）。在世俗的历史报告说，有些善射的高手能使弹弓弹出的石头击穿盾牌和头盔。

†[GNT] Not counting the tribe of Benjamin, the Israelites gathered 400,000 trained soldiers.

†[NIV]Israel, apart from Benjamin, mustered four hundred thousand swordsmen, all of them fighting men.

本会注释　　四十万。以色列的人口在减少。在出埃及后的头一年，争战的人计算起来有六十万零三千五百五十人，包括便雅悯的三万五千四百人（民1:46,37）。出埃及后的第四十年，据记载有六十万零一千七百三十人，包括四万五千六百便雅悯人（民26:51,41）。

士20:18 以色列人就起来，到伯特利去求问上帝说：“我们中间谁当首先上去与便雅悯人争战呢？”耶和华说：“犹大当先上去。” (串)士1:1

†[NIV]The Israelites went up to Bethel and inquired of God. They said, "Who of us shall go first to fight against the Benjamites?" The LORD replied, "Judah shall go first."

本会注释　　就起来。很可能只是那些领袖到示罗的约柜前去求问他们部署的计划。很难想象全部四十万军队都行军到会幕求问耶和华。但这个地方可能就在附近。
　　伯特利。有文本译为“上帝的殿”，认为比“伯特利”更合适，因为会幕在示罗，它位于伯特利以北15.2公里，米斯巴以北20公里，军队在米斯巴安营。他们就常去示罗到耶和华的殿中求问祂（见士21:2,4,12）。然而，有可能约柜后来在以利的时候被暂时从示罗移走（撒上4:3,4）。
　　我们中间谁？如此庞大的队伍不容易在基比亚小山周围展开，他们决定一次只派一个支派去进攻。
　　犹大。该支派以勇猛著称。从《士师记》一开始他们就起重要作用（士1:1,2）。

士20:19 以色列人早晨起来，对着基比亚安营。

†[吕]以色列人早晨起来，向着基比亚扎营。

†[思]于是以色列子民早晨起来，对着基贝亚安营。

本会注释　　显然是从米斯巴起来。那是军队主力安营的地方。

†[GNT] The army of Benjamin came out of the city, and before the day was over they had killed twenty-two thousand Israelite soldiers.

本会注释　　出来。整个便雅悯军队二万六千七百精兵强将集结在基比亚周围。他们勇敢地出了城墙并袭击布满山头的犹大军队。
　　二万二千。这意味着便雅悯人几乎是一人杀死一个。没有提到便雅悯人的损失。他们肯定会一些损失。

士20:22 以色列人彼此奋勇，仍在头一日摆阵的地方又摆阵。

†[吕]众民以色列人都奋勇，仍然在头一天摆阵的地方又摆了阵。

†[思]以后，众以色列又鼓起勇气，又在前一日布阵的地方布阵。

†[Xdv]以色列人回到圣所，在上主面前哀哭，直到晚上。他们求问上主：“我们该不该再去攻打我们的弟兄便雅悯人？”上主回答：“该去。”于是，以色列人得到鼓励，又在前一天的地势摆阵。

†[Kjv]And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.

†[Nkjv]And the people, that is, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves and again formed the battle line at the place where they had put themselves in array on the first day.

本会注释　　有人认为把22节放在23节后面比较合理，说是古代的抄录者不注意时，颠倒了这两节的顺序。然而按照这样的顺序叙述故事的事件，仍然是能够被理解。

士20:23 未摆阵之先，以色列人上去，在耶和华面前哭号，直到晚上，求问耶和华说：“我们再去与我们弟兄便雅悯人打仗可以不可以？”耶和华说：“可以上去攻击他们。” (串)本章26-28

本会注释　　上去。支派联盟似乎派遣了另一个代表团，求耶和华指引方向。
　　哭号。以色列的失败使众民在耶和华面前谦卑下来，认识到要全然信靠祂。他们或许需要学到这样的功课：“你们中间谁是没有罪的，谁就可以先拿石头打她”（约8:7）。许多人他们对基比亚人的犯罪行为极其愤概，但他们或许也犯有同类的罪行。例如，在西奈山和巴力-毗珥，所有的以色列人都陷入拜偶像的败坏风俗。
　　我们兄弟。以色列人对卷入兄弟相互残杀的战争感到心神不安，他们对便雅悯人的愤怒开始减弱。然而，耶和华指示他们继续攻打。便雅悯人也需要谦卑下来，承认自己所犯的罪行。

士20:24 第二日，以色列人就上前攻击便雅悯人。

†[NIV]Then the Israelites, all the people, went up to Bethel, and there they sat weeping before the LORD . They fasted that day until evening and presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to the LORD .

本会注释　　这是以色列军队第二次在便雅悯的挑衅下遭受灾难性的损失。他们不知所措，困惑不解，并哀伤不已。耶和华指示他们去进攻，他们却遭受了巨大的伤亡。他们试图找到失败原因的答案，就禁食并献燔祭和平安祭。这是圣经中第一处出现“禁食”一词的地方，尽管我们知道很早就有禁食的习惯。

士20:27 那时，上帝的约柜在那里；亚伦的孙子、以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈侍立在约柜前。以色列人问耶和华说：“我们当再出去与我们弟兄便雅悯人打仗呢？还是罢兵呢？”耶和华说：“你们当上去，因为明日我必将他们交在你们手中。” (串)撒上4:3,4|民25:7;31:6书24:33|申10:8;18:5,7

本会注释　　约柜。这是《士师记》唯一一次提到约柜。
　　在那里。有人认为是指示罗，有的认为是指伯特利。会幕显然是在示罗，从约书亚时期就设立在那里（书18:1）。到以利作士师的后期，约柜被非利士人掳去（撒上4:10,11）。会幕在示罗见书22:12；撒上1:3；2:14；3:21；4:3。约柜可能被转移到临时的场所，见@士20:18@注释。
　　非尼哈。据书22:12,13，在约书亚的日子，非尼哈是示罗会幕的祭司。在这段经文中提及他的名字，所以，与利未人和他的妾相关的事件是在巴勒斯坦第一代以色列人生活的时期。这种说法支持了稍早阐述的观点（见士18:29,30；19:1），即《士师记》最后五章描述的两个事件发生在本书其他事件是许多年以前。值得注意的是，在但人迁移叙述中，摩西的孙子扮演了突出的角色，而在利未人的故事中，又提到了亚伦的孙子（见士18:30）。
　　明日我必将……交。直到以色列人经过一段时间的准备，上帝才让以色列人赢得胜利。挫折有效地促使他们禁食和祷告，认真反省自己失败的原因。胜利的延迟使上帝有机会指出他们自己品格的缺点。这些缺点需要纠正，正如他们所强烈意识到的别人的缺点需要纠正一样。以色列人过多的想要纠正他们弟兄的过失，却没有意识到自己缺点。为了纠正人们这一普遍的毛病，耶稣说了一番关于梁木和刺的话（见太7:5）。

本会注释　　在前两场战役中，以色列军兵过于自负，因为他们认为自己的事业是正义的，并且人多势众。但这样的优势并非不需要精心地准备，勤于祷告，和仔细地谋划。

本会注释　　利未人的估计是正确的。这件事激起了巴勒斯坦所有希伯来人的义愤。他们认为，这样的罪行即使在动荡的岁月和缺少中央当局的时代，也不应放过而不予惩罚。

†[NIV]The Benjamites came out to meet them and were drawn away from the city. They began to inflict casualties on the Israelites as before, so that about thirty men fell in the open field and on the roads-the one leading to Bethel and the other to Gibeah.

本会注释　　引诱。以色列军队假装撤退，引诱便雅悯人追赶他们。这样便雅悯军队的后背和侧腰就暴露在以色列军队的伏兵面前。
　　两条路上。以色列军队佯装沿着两条道路逃跑，一条向北通向伯特利和示罗，另外一条通向名叫基比亚的小镇。这个基比亚不是便雅悯人的基地基比亚。那个基比亚被称为“在田野的基比亚”。基比亚是一个很普遍的名字，意思是“山丘”。便雅悯的基比亚似乎不在山上，而是如它的名字所暗示的在平地上。

士20:32 便雅悯人说：“他们仍旧败在我们面前。”但以色列人说：“我们不如逃跑，引诱他们离开城到路上来。” (串)书8:5,6,16

†[吕]便雅悯人说：“他们仍像初次一样在我们面前被击败了”；以色列人却说：“我们不如逃跑、引诱他们离开城到大路上来。

†[思]本雅明子孙遂说：“他们像前次一样，在我们面前打败了。”但以色列子民却说：“我们不如后退，引他们远离城，到大路上来。”

†[当代]便雅悯军叫道：“我们又打败他们了。”以色列军假装战败，引诱敌人远离城外。

†[新译]便雅悯人说：“他们仍像前一次一样，败在我们面前了。”以色列人却说：“我们逃跑吧，引他们离开城市出到大路上来。”

†[Wlb]便雅悯人曰、其败如故、以色列人曰、我侪其遁、诱之离邑、至于通衢、

†[Xdv]便雅悯人说：“我们像以前一样击杀他们。”但是，以色列人已经计划好，以撤退诱他们离开城，到大路上去。

†[Kjv]And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.

†[Nkjv]And the children of Benjamin said, "They are defeated before us, as at first." But the children of Israel said, "Let us flee and draw them away from the city to the highways."

†[BBE]And the children of Benjamin said, They are giving way before us as at first. But the children of Israel said, Let us go in flight and get them away from the town, into the highways.

†[GNT] The Benjaminites said, "We've beaten them just as before." But the Israelites had planned to retreat and lead them away from the city onto the roads.

†[NIV]While the Benjamites were saying, "We are defeating them as before," the Israelites were saying, "Let's retreat and draw them away from the city to the roads."

士20:33 以色列众人都起来，在巴力他玛摆阵，以色列的伏兵从马利迦巴埋伏的地方冲上前去。

†[吕]以色列众人都从自己的地方起来，在巴力他玛摆阵；以色列的伏兵从基比亚西边（传统：迦巴的旷地）自己的地方冲出来。

†[思]当以色列众人从他们的地方起来，在巴耳塔玛尔布阵的时候，以色列的伏兵从革巴西边埋伏的地方冲出来；

†[当代]然后，以色列人就在巴力他玛列阵反攻；而预先埋伏在马利迦巴西面的一万人也从藏匿的地方冲出来，

†[新译]以色列众人都从自己的地方起来，在巴力他玛列阵；以色列的伏兵，从基比亚西边埋伏的地方冲出来。

†[Wlb]众遂起离其所、列陈于巴力他玛、伏者自基比亚草场而出、

†[Xdv]因此，当以色列军的主力撤回巴力他玛重整队伍的时候，埋伏在基比亚（希伯来文是：迦巴）四周的人突然从城周围的石头地冲出来。

†[Kjv]And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.

†[Nkjv]So all the men of Israel rose from their place and put themselves in battle array at Baal Tamar. Then Israel's men in ambush burst forth from their position in the plain of Geba.

†[BBE]So all the men of Israel got up and put themselves in fighting order at Baal-tamar: and those who had been waiting secretly to make a surprise attack came rushing out of their place on the west of Geba.

†[GNT] So when the main army of the Israelites pulled back and regrouped at Baaltamar, the men surrounding Gibeah suddenly rushed out of their hiding places in the rocky country around the city.

†[NIV]All the men of Israel moved from their places and took up positions at Baal Tamar, and the Israelite ambush charged out of its place on the west of Gibeah.

本会注释　　在巴力他玛。直译是“棕树的巴力”。无人知道其准确位置，但它一定在基比亚附近。除了在基比亚设下伏兵外，另一部分以色列军队部署在这不知名的地点。当便雅悯人紧跟撤退的以色列军队而来时，他们出乎意料地遭到一支勇猛力量的打击，与此同时在基比亚附近秘密设伏的伏兵也从背后攻击便雅悯军队。以色列军队好像分成了三股。

士20:34 有以色列人中的一万精兵，来到基比亚前接战，势派甚是凶猛；便雅悯人却不知道灾祸临近了。 (串)书8:14

†[吕]当时就有全以色列精兵一万来到基比亚前面，战势很是猛烈，便雅悯人却不知道灾祸即将触到自己身上来。

†[思]全以色列中所选出的一万精兵齐来攻打基贝亚，战争非常激烈，但是本雅明人还不知道大祸临头。

†[当代]从后面截击便雅悯人；便雅悯人大祸临头，却仍懵然不知。

†[新译]全以色列中的精兵，有一万人前来攻打基比亚，战争非常激烈；便雅悯人还不知道灾祸快要临到他们的身上了。

†[Wlb]有以色列选兵一万、往攻基比亚、战势剧烈、然便雅悯人不知祸之将及、

†[Xdv]有一万名特别从全以色列精选出来的人攻打基比亚，战事激烈。便雅悯人还不知道他们就要被消灭了。

†[Kjv]And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.

†[Nkjv]And ten thousand select men from all Israel came against Gibeah, and the battle was fierce. But the Benjamites did not know that disaster was upon them.

†[BBE]And they came in front of Gibeah, ten thousand of the best men in all Israel, and the fighting became more violent; but the children of Benjamin were not conscious that evil was coming on them.

†[GNT] Ten thousand men, specially chosen out of all Israel, attacked Gibeah, and the fighting was hard. The Benjaminites had not realized that they were about to be destroyed.

†[NIV]Then ten thousand of Israel's finest men made a frontal attack on Gibeah. The fighting was so heavy that the Benjamites did not realize how near disaster was.

本会注释　　一万精兵。这显然是组成伏兵进攻基比亚基地的那支队伍。
　　却不知道。虽然便雅悯人意识到自己的战斗陷于困境，各人都单兵作战，各自为阵，却没有发觉他们的军队已完全陷入包围，面临全军覆没的厄运。
　　作者在下一节中断了对战斗的细节描写，转而讲述最后的结果，似乎要有意识地消除读者的悬念。

士20:35 耶和华使以色列人杀败便雅悯人。那日，以色列人杀死便雅悯人二万五千一百，都是拿刀的。

†[吕]永恒主在以色列面前击败了便雅悯；那一天以色列人歼灭了便雅悯中二万五千一百、都是能拔刀的。

†[思]上主在以色列前打击本雅明人，那一天以色列子民杀死本雅明人共有二万五千一百，都是拿刀的人。

†[当代]主就这样帮助以色列战胜了便雅悯人。那一天以色列人共杀了二万五千一百人。战事经过这场战役的概况是这样的：为了使敌军堕进伏兵的圈套里，以色列军便故意诈败撤退。便雅悯人杀了大约三十名以色列人以后，就以为可以像以前那样杀他个痛快。原来，以色列的伏兵却乘著他们倾巢而出的机会，把城内的基比亚人杀得一个不留；冲天的浓烟原来就是以色列军反攻便雅悯人的信号。

†[新译]耶和华在以色列人面前击败了便雅悯人；那天以色列人消灭便雅悯人，共二万五千一百名，都是拿刀的。

†[Wlb]耶和华使便雅悯人败于以色列人前、是日以色列人杀便雅悯人、二万五千一百、皆执兵之士、

†[Xdv]上主把便雅悯军队交在以色列手里；那一天，以色列人杀了仇敌两万五千一百名。

†[Kjv]And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.

†[Nkjv]The LORD defeated Benjamin before Israel. And the children of Israel destroyed that day twenty-five thousand one hundred Benjamites; all these drew the sword.

†[BBE]Then the Lord sent sudden fear on Benjamin before Israel; and that day the children of Israel put to death twenty-five thousand, one hundred men of Benjamin, all of them swordsmen.

†[GNT] The Lord gave Israel victory over the army of Benjamin. The Israelites killed 25,100 of the enemy that day,

†[NIV]The LORD defeated Benjamin before Israel, and on that day the Israelites struck down 25,100 Benjamites, all armed with swords.

士20:36 于是便雅悯人知道自己败了。先是以色列人；因为靠着在基比亚前所设的伏兵，就在便雅悯人面前诈败。

†[吕]这样，便雅悯人就看出自己已被击败了。先是以色列人因为倚靠对基比亚所设的伏兵，就对便雅悯让步。

†[思]这样，本雅明子孙看出自己已失败。原来以色列人依仗在基贝亚所设下的伏兵，先在本雅明人前退怯；

†[当代]－

†[新译]这样，便雅悯人就看出自己被击败了。原来以色列人倚靠在基比亚前面设下的伏兵，就对便雅悯人诈败。

†[Wlb]便雅悯人乃自知败北、初、以色列人恃有伏兵在基比亚、故暂避便雅悯人、

†[Xdv]便雅悯人才知道自己打败了。以色列军队的主力从便雅悯人面前撤退，因为他们信任那些埋伏在基比亚四周的人。

†[Kjv]So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.

†[Nkjv]So the children of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. The men of Israel had given ground to the Benjamites, because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah.

†[BBE]So the children of Benjamin saw that they were overcome: and the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, putting their faith in the watchers who were to make the surprise attack on Gibeah.

†[GNT] and the Benjaminites realized they were defeated. The main body of the Israelite army had retreated from the Benjaminites because they were relying on the men that they had put in hiding around Gibeah.

†[NIV]Then the Benjamites saw that they were beaten. Now the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, because they relied on the ambush they had set near Gibeah.

本会注释　　作者在描述了战争的主要进程后，回过头来并讲述其它的细节。从36节到本章结束，很好地补充了33节，提供了战斗的连贯记录。作者插入34节和35节是作为附加的说明，显然是要告诉作者交战的结果。然后36节又重新开始继续详细的描述。

士20:37 伏兵急忙闯进基比亚，用刀杀死全城的人。 (串)士9:44书8:19

†[吕]伏兵急忙，突然冲出，逼击基比亚；伏兵继续前进，用刀击杀了全城的人。

†[思]伏兵急速冲入基贝亚，冲进之后，用刀屠杀了全城的人。

†[当代]－

†[新译]伏兵急忙冲入基比亚，用刀击杀了全城的人。

†[Wlb]伏兵骤出、进攻基比亚、刃击举邑之人、

†[Xdv]这些人迅捷地冲向基比亚，分散在城里，把城里的人全杀了。

†[Kjv]And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.

†[Nkjv]And the men in ambush quickly rushed upon Gibeah; the men in ambush spread out and struck the whole city with the edge of the sword.

†[BBE]And the watchers, rushing on Gibeah and overrunning it, put all the town to the sword without mercy.

†[GNT] These men ran quickly toward Gibeah; they spread out in the city and killed everyone there.

†[NIV]The men who had been in ambush made a sudden dash into Gibeah, spread out and put the whole city to the sword.

本会注释　　组成伏兵的一万人（34节）成功地夺取基比亚，然后放火将其烧毁。这是对同伴发出的信号，表示伏兵已取得成功，现在是佯装逃跑的部队回来参加到主力军中乘胜追击便雅悯人的时候了。

士20:38 以色列人预先同伏兵约定在城内放火，以烟气上腾为号。

†[吕]以色列人同伏兵有个约号：就是从城中举起烟峰火来。

†[思]原先以色列人与伏兵约定，在城内放火，以烟火上腾为号。

†[当代]－

†[新译]以色列人与伏兵预先约定，就是从城里放火，以烟气上升为号。

†[Wlb]以色列人曾约伏兵、以使邑中烟云上腾为号、

†[Xdv]以色列的主力军跟埋伏的人事前约定了一个信号：他们看见城里烟火上腾的时候，

†[Kjv]Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.

†[Nkjv]Now the appointed signal between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise up from the city,

†[BBE]Now the sign fixed between the men of Israel and those making the surprise attack was that when they made a pillar of smoke go up from the town,

†[GNT] The main Israelite army and the men in hiding had arranged a signal. When they saw a big cloud of smoke going up from the town,

†[NIV]The men of Israel had arranged with the ambush that they should send up a great cloud of smoke from the city,

士20:39 以色列人临退阵的时候，便雅悯人动手杀死以色列人，约有三十个，就说：“他们仍象前次被我们杀败了。”

†[吕]未举峰火以前，以色列人在战阵上转身而退，便雅悯人就动手攻击以色列人约三十人，刺死他们，自己心里说：“他们真地像初次战阵时一样在我们面前被击败了。”

†[思]以色列人在战场上撤退的时候，本雅明动手杀死以色列人约有叁十人，他们想：“的确，他们如前一仗一样，在我们前杀败了。”

†[当代]－

†[新译]以色列人在战场上撤退的时候，便雅悯人就动手杀人，刺死以色列人约三十个，心里说：“他们真的像头一次战阵一样，在我们面前被击败了。”

†[Wlb]以色列人战时稍却、便雅悯人杀其人约有三十、自谓以色列人为我所败、如前战然、

†[Xdv]战场上的以色列人就要转回来。这时，便雅悯人已经杀了三十个以色列人；他们自言自语：“我们像以前一样把他们打败了。”

†[Kjv]And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.

†[Nkjv]whereupon the men of Israel would turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to strike and kill about thirty of the men of Israel. For they said, "Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle."

†[BBE]The men of Israel were to make a turn about in the fight. And Benjamin had overcome and put to death about thirty of the men of Israel, and were saying, Certainly they are falling back before us as in the first fight.

†[GNT] the Israelites out on the battlefield were to turn around. By this time the Benjaminites had already killed the thirty Israelites. They told themselves, "Yes, we've beaten them just as before."

†[NIV]and then the men of Israel would turn in the battle. The Benjamites had begun to inflict casualties on the men of Israel (about thirty), and they said, "We are defeating them as in the first battle."

本会注释　　似乎将39节第一部分与38节最后一部分连起来就更容易明白了，这是描述以色列人商量好的计划。这两个句子可以这样理解：“他们应使巨大火焰的烟气从城中升腾而起，然后以色列人就投入战斗”。本书作者讲述了这个计划后，又继续讲述事情的进展情况。他说：“便雅悯动手杀死”。接着就描述事情如何准确地按照他们的计划进行（40节,41节）。便雅悯人看到他们背后城中的烟气升腾，与此同时，逃跑的以色列军队突然停止逃跑，并开始强硬地抵抗。于是便雅悯人意识到他们上当了，他们被两面夹击的以色列军队捕获，没有一点可逃跑的机会。

士20:40 当烟气如柱从城中上腾的时候，便雅悯人回头观看，见全城的烟气冲天。 (串)书8:20

†[吕]赶到峰火像烟柱开始从城中往上冒的时候，便雅悯人回头观看，只见那城完全烧尽（同词：全燔祭）的烟直往天上冒！

†[思]当烟柱信号从城中上腾的时候，本雅明人转过身来，见全城烟火冲天；

†[当代]便雅悯人回头猛然见到城内浓烟四起，以色列人前后夹攻，就大惊失色，

†[新译]当烟柱信号从城中上升的时候，便雅悯人就转身观看，只见全城烟火冲天。

†[Wlb]迨邑中烟云起、其状如柱、便雅悯人回顾、见举邑烟焰冲天、

†[Xdv]后来，信号出现了，城里烟火开始上腾，便雅悯人回头一看，惊奇地发现全城烟火冲天。

†[Kjv]But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.

†[Nkjv]But when the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and there was the whole city going up in smoke to heaven.

†[BBE]Then the sign went up out of the town in the pillar of smoke, and the Benjamites, turning back, saw all the town going up in smoke to heaven.

†[GNT] Then the signal appeared; a cloud of smoke began to go up from the town. The Benjaminites looked behind them and were amazed to see the whole city going up in flames.

†[NIV]But when the column of smoke began to rise from the city, the Benjamites turned and saw the smoke of the whole city going up into the sky.

士20:41 以色列人又转身回来，便雅悯人就甚惊惶，因为看见灾祸临到自己了。

†[吕]那时以色列人又转身回来，便雅悯人就很惊惶，因为看出灾祸即将触到自己身上来了。

†[思]那时以色列人也转身回来；本雅明人大为惊慌，因为看见大祸临头，

†[当代]－

†[新译]那时，以色列人又转身回来，便雅悯人就非常惊慌，因为看见灾祸临到自己身上了。

†[Wlb]以色列人旋转、便雅悯人见祸及之、不胜骇惧、

†[Xdv]以色列人又转回来，便雅悯人惊惶慌乱，因为他们知道自己快要被消灭了。

†[Kjv]And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.

†[Nkjv]And when the men of Israel turned back, the men of Benjamin panicked, for they saw that disaster had come upon them.

†[BBE]And the men of Israel had made a turn about, and the men of Benjamin were overcome with fear, for they saw that evil had overtaken them.

†[GNT] Then the Israelites turned around, and the Benjaminites were thrown into panic because they realized that they were about to be destroyed.

†[NIV]Then the men of Israel turned on them, and the men of Benjamin were terrified, because they realized that disaster had come upon them.

士20:42 他们在以色列人面前转身往旷野逃跑；以色列人在后面追杀。那从各城里出来的，也都夹攻杀灭他们。 (串)书8:15,24

†[吕]他们在以色列人面前转旷野的路向逃跑，但战事却紧追着他们：那从各城出来的人也在他们中间歼灭他们。

†[思]遂在以色列人面前转向旷野的路上逃去，但战士却追踪而至，从城出来的人也夹击他们；

†[当代]仓皇向荒野逃命。可是，以色列军却穷追不舍，伏兵也冲出来夹攻他们；

†[新译]他们在以色列人面前转身，向旷野的路上逃走，战争却紧随着他们；那些从各城里出来的人也在他们中间消灭他们。

†[Wlb]遂背以色列人、转向旷野之路而遁、军士急追于后、民自诸邑而出、戮之于其间、

†[Xdv]他们逃离以色列人，向旷野跑，可是逃不掉；他们被以色列主力军和城（希伯来文是：诸城邑）里出来的人夹在中间，被杀灭了。

†[Kjv]Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.

†[Nkjv]Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them, and whoever came out of the cities they destroyed in their midst.

†[BBE]So turning their backs on the men of Israel, they went in the direction of the waste land; but the fight overtook them; and those who came out of the town were heading them off and putting them to the sword.

†[GNT] They retreated from the Israelites and ran toward the open country, but they could not escape. They were caught between the main army and the men who were now coming out of the city, and they were destroyed.

†[NIV]So they fled before the Israelites in the direction of the desert, but they could not escape the battle. And the men of Israel who came out of the towns cut them down there.

本会注释　　旷野。显然就是“伯亚文的旷野”（书18:12），在基比亚东面，从高地下到约旦河谷。这个地区在书16:1中称之为“从耶利哥上去，通过山地的旷野，到伯特利”。
　　那从各城里出来的。一些古代的版本为“他们从城中出来（就是夺取基比亚的人），杀灭了他们”。意思是那一万以色列人，放火烧毁了基比亚以后，拦截了试图逃向旷野的便雅悯人。

士20:43 以色列人围绕便雅悯人，追赶他们，在他们歇脚之处、对着日出之地的基比亚践踏他们。

†[吕]以色列人击破（传统：围绕）了便雅悯人，追赶他们，从挪哈（传统：安身之处）直到迦巴（传统：基比亚）对面、日出的方向、践踏他们。

†[思]这样，以色列人击溃了本雅明人，追击他们，从诺哈蹂躏他们，直到革巴对面的东方之地。

†[当代]他们在基比亚以东歼灭了便雅悯大部分的人。

†[新译]以色列人包围了便雅悯人，追赶他们，在他们歇息之地，直到基比亚对面日出之处，践踏他们。

†[Wlb]追袭之、围困之、在其驻足之所蹂躏之、至于相对日出处之基比亚、

†[Xdv]以色列人使敌人上圈套，不停地追赶他们，直到基比亚东边的地方，沿路击杀他们。

†[Kjv]Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.

†[Nkjv]They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them, and easily trampled them down as far as the front of Gibeah toward the east.

†[BBE]And crushing Benjamin down, they went after them, driving them from Nohah as far as the east side of Gibeah.

†[GNT] The Israelites had the enemy trapped, and without stopping they pursued them as far as a point east of Gibeah, killing them as they went.

†[NIV]They surrounded the Benjamites, chased them and easily overran them in the vicinity of Gibeah on the east.

本会注释　　歇脚之处。七十士译本为“从卢阿”，似乎把它作为地名，希伯来文该词是指便雅悯人寻求庇护的地方，以色列人找到他们，并把他们杀掉。

士20:44 便雅悯人死了的有一万八千，都是勇士。

†[吕]便雅悯人中倒毙的有一万八千名，全都是有力气的人。

†[思]本雅明人阵亡一万八千，都是勇士。

†[当代]便雅悯的军队共有一万八千名勇士在当天的战事中被杀。

†[新译]便雅悯人中倒毙的共有一万八千人，全都是勇士。

†[Wlb]便雅悯人仆者一万八千、皆勇士也、

†[Xdv]便雅悯人约有一万八千精兵被杀；

†[Kjv]And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.

†[Nkjv]And eighteen thousand men of Benjamin fell; all these were men of valor.

†[BBE]Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin came to their death, all strong men of war.

†[GNT] Eighteen thousand of the best Benjaminite soldiers were killed.

†[NIV]Eighteen thousand Benjamites fell, all of them valiant fighters.

本会注释　　一万八千。可能指在最初交战中被杀的人数。其余的二万五千一百人（35节）是在向旷野逃跑的追赶途中被杀的（45节）。

士20:45 其余的人转身向旷野逃跑，往临门磐去。以色列人在道路上杀了他们五千人，如拾取遗穗一样，追到基顿又杀了他们二千人。 (串)书15:32士21:13

†[吕]其余的人转身、向旷野逃跑、到临门的岩石；以色列人在大路上扫荡了他们五千人、如同拾取遗穗一样；直紧追着他们到基顿，又击杀了他们二千人。

†[思]其馀的人都转身向着旷野逃往黎孟岩石，以色列人在路上又扫荡了他们中五千人；以后，直追到革巴，击杀了二千人。

†[当代]余下的人都向荒野逃去，直奔到临门磐石那里，但沿途又有五千人战死，在靠近基顿的地方又有二千人阵亡。

†[新译]其余的人转身，向着旷野逃跑，到了临门的磐石那里；以色列人在大路上除灭了他们五千人，追赶他们直到基顿，又击杀了他们二千人。

†[Wlb]其余转向旷野而逃、至临门磐、以色列人又于通衢、收其五千人、追至基顿、又杀二千人、

†[Xdv]其余的转向临门岩的旷野逃去，有五千人在路上被杀。以色列人继续追赶剩下的人，直到基顿，又杀了两千人。

†[Kjv]And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.

†[Nkjv]Then they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon; and they cut down five thousand of them on the highways. Then they pursued them relentlessly up to Gidom, and killed two thousand of them.

†[BBE]And turning, they went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land: and on the highways five thousand of them were cut off by the men of Israel, who, pushing on hard after them to Geba, put to death two thousand more.

†[GNT] The others turned and ran toward the open country to Rimmon Rock. Five thousand of them were killed on the roads. The Israelites continued to pursue the rest to Gidom, killing two thousand.

†[NIV]As they turned and fled toward the desert to the rock of Rimmon, the Israelites cut down five thousand men along the roads. They kept pressing after the Benjamites as far as Gidom and struck down two thousand more.

本会注释　　临门磐。据认为在峻峭的石灰山上，从各个方向都能看到，它位于伯特利以东约5.6公里和基比亚东北13.6公里处。这个地方现在有一个叫临门的村庄。
　　基顿。一个未知的地方。

士20:46 那日便雅悯死了的共有二万五千人，都是拿刀的勇士。

†[吕]所以属便雅悯倒毙的、那一天共有二万五千人、是能拔刀的；全都是有力气的人。

†[思]那一日，本雅明中阵亡的，共有二万五千人，

†[当代]经此一役，便雅悯人损失了二万五千名战士，只有六百人侥幸逃到临门磐石，在那里住了四个月。

†[新译]所以那一天便雅悯人倒毙的，共有二万五千人，都是拿刀的，全部是勇士。

†[Wlb]是日便雅悯执兵之士死者、共二万五千、皆勇士也、

†[Xdv]那一天，便雅悯人一共有两万五千勇士被杀。

†[Kjv]So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.

†[Nkjv]So all who fell of Benjamin that day were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword; all these were men of valor.

†[BBE]So twenty-five thousand of the swordsmen of Benjamin came to their end that day, all strong men of war.

†[GNT] In all, twenty-five thousand Benjaminites were killed that day - all of them brave soldiers.

†[NIV]On that day twenty-five thousand Benjamite swordsmen fell, all of them valiant fighters.

士20:47 只剩下六百人，转身向旷野逃跑，到了临门磐，就在那里住了四个月。

†[吕]但是有六百人转身向旷野逃跑、到临门的岩石，就在临门的岩石住了四个月。

†[思]所剩下的六百人，转身逃往旷野，直到黎孟岩石，在黎孟岩石中住了四个月。

†[当代]－

本会注释　　这种对平民不加区分的屠杀，更不用说对溃散逃跑的军兵的屠杀，是完全没有道理的。基比亚人的罪需要惩罚，因为他们罪大恶极。然而当便雅悯人的有效抵抗消除以后，以色列人的义务就尽了。个别肆意作恶者可以绳之以法。他们的城基比亚已经成了废墟，这就足够了。没有理由把整个支派无情地灭绝，也不应该将他们所有的城邑都烧毁。然而，战争鼓动人丧失理智的狂热尚未熄灭，纵容他们肆意妄为。在这种情况下，人常常不由自主，听不到理性和良知的声音，特别是在他们没有杰出的领袖指导和实行控制的情况下。以色列军队受伤的自尊心，在被远远弱小于他们的敌人的两次击败所刺痛，招致他们犯更大的罪，这罪无论在程度和范围上，都比他们试图要惩罚的人更为严重。
