士师记第3章

《圣经》士师记-第3章

士3:1 耶和华留下这几族，为要试验那不曾知道与迦南争战之事的以色列人， (串)士2:21,22本章4

†[吕]以下这些国的人就是永恒主所留下，为要藉着他们来试验以色列人，一切不曾经验过迦南任何战事的人，

†[思]这是上主为考验那些不晓得客纳罕一切战事的以色列人，所留下来的民族，

†[当代]主为了要试炼那些从没有经历过迦南战事的以色列人，使他们从战争中学习战事，就给他们留下几个外族，

†[新译]这些国的人是耶和华留下的，为要借着他们来试验以色列人，就是所有没有经验过迦南任何战争的人；

†[Wlb]耶和华留此诸族、是欲试以色列人未知迦南战事者、

†[Xdv]上主留下一些民族在这块土地上，要考验那些没有经历迦南战事的以色列人。

†[Kjv]Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

†[Nkjv]Now these are the nations which the LORD left, that He might test Israel by them, that is, all who had not known any of the wars in Canaan

†[BBE]Now these are the nations which the Lord kept in the land for the purpose of testing Israel by them, all those who had had no experience of all the wars of Canaan;

†[GNT] So then, the Lord left some nations in the land to test the Israelites who had not been through the wars in Canaan.

†[NIV]These are the nations the LORD left to test all those Israelites who had not experienced any of the wars in Canaan

本会注释　　作者完成了整个士师时期历史的说明之后，转而列举留在迦南与以色列争斗的民族。同时他还补充了迦南人为何留下来的另一个理由，并展示以色列人与外邦人社会和宗教如何迅速融合（1至6节）。

士3:2 好叫以色列的后代又知道又学习未曾晓得的战事。

†[吕]不过是要叫以色列后代、至少那些从未经验战事的、经验经验战事，好得教导而已。

†[思]叫以色列子民的后代，至少那些以前不晓得这些战事的人，知道和学习作战。

†[当代]－

†[新译]好使以色列人的后代，那些以前没有经验过这些战争的人，知道学习争战。

†[Wlb]使以色列后代知习前所未悉之武事、所留诸族如左、

†[Xdv]他的目的是要教以色列的每一代打仗，尤其是从来没有上过战场的人。

†[Kjv]Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

†[Nkjv](this was only so that the generations of the children of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it),

†[BBE]Only because of the generations of the children of Israel, for the purpose of teaching them war--only those who up till then had no experience of it;

†[GNT] He did this only in order to teach each generation of Israelites about war, especially those who had never been in battle before.

†[NIV]he did this only to teach warfare to the descendants of the Israelites who had not had previous battle experience):

本会注释　　以色列的新一代既不知道战争的恐怖，也不了解上帝为他们的祖先所施行大能的拯救工作。他们在较为安逸的环境中长大。他们转离他们父辈信靠的上帝，因他们的父辈是上帝从强敌之手中解救出来的。上帝打算借着存留在迦南和其周围的民族，不断地教导衪大能的拯救以及外邦神的无能。经过相继发生的战争，以色列的年轻一代从痛苦的经历学习到：他们唯有在其父辈的上帝的帮助下，才能与这些人数众多而又好战的民族争战并征服他们。

士3:3 所留下的就是非利士的五个首领和一切迦南人、西顿人，并住黎巴嫩山的希未人，从巴力黑们山直到哈马口。 (串)书13:3

†[吕]所留下的就是：非利士的五个霸主、和一切迦南人、西顿人，和住利巴嫩山的希未人，从巴力黑们山直到哈马口。

†[思]这些民族就是培勒舍特人的五个酋长，一切客纳罕人、漆冬人和住在黎巴嫩山上，即从巴耳赫尔孟山直到哈玛特关口的希威人。

†[当代]计有：五个非利士王、所有的迦南人、西顿人，住在黎巴嫩山区、从巴力黑们山直到哈马口一带的希未人。

†[新译]他留下的就是非利士人的五个首领，和所有迦南人、西顿人，以及住在黎巴嫩山上的希未人，从巴力黑门山直到哈马口。

†[Wlb]非利士之五伯、迦南人、西顿人、居利巴嫩山之希未人、自巴力黑门山、至哈马道、

†[Xdv]留下的有非利士五个城的首领和所有迦南人、西顿人，以及住在巴力黑门山到哈马隘口之间黎巴嫩山区的希未人。

†[Kjv]Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.

†[Nkjv]namely, five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who dwelt in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.

†[BBE]The five chiefs of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites and the Zidonians and the Hivites living in Mount Lebanon, from the mountain Baal-hermon as far as Hamath:

†[GNT] Those left in the land were the five Philistine cities, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived in the Lebanon Mountains from Mount Baal Hermon as far as Hamath Pass.

†[NIV]the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites living in the Lebanon mountains from Mount Baal Hermon to Lebo Hamath.

本会注释　　首领。希伯来语是 seren，在圣经中指这些非利士城邑的统治者，但有一个例外（王上7:30 ）。这显然是一个非利士单词或称号，因它一般只用于这些统治者，所以别的地方没有出现过。非利士联邦共有五个中心：迦萨，亚实突，以革伦，迦特和亚实基伦（撒上6:16-18）。其中三个被犹大侵占（士1:18），但显然后来又失守。
　　一切迦南人。就是留在迦南各地的迦南人，当然他们的很多领地都已被侵占了。
　　黎巴嫩山。这里说希未人是住在黑门山周围（巴勒斯坦北部）直到哈马口。后者在圣经中常常指迦南北部的边界。哈马城本身在黑门山以北约225公里的奥伦特斯河边，而它的领地却延伸至城南的数公里的地方。
　　希未人。见书11:3。希未人在别处的记载都与巴勒斯坦的中部城市有关，如在示剑（创34:2）和基遍（书9:7）。考古学家尚不能确认希未人。有迹象表明希未人属哈里特人或何利人的一个分支（见书 9:3）。
　　哈马口。见@民34:8@注释。

士3:4 留下这几族，为要试验以色列人，知道他们肯听从耶和华藉摩西吩咐他们列祖的诫命不肯。 (串)本章1

†[吕]他们在那里，这是要藉着他们来试验以色列人，好知道他们肯不肯听从永恒主的诫命、就是永恒主由摩西经手所吩咐他们祖宗的。

†[思]他们留在那是为考验以色列人，看他们是否听从上主藉梅瑟吩咐他们祖先的那些诫命。

†[当代]主留下这几个外族是要试炼以色列人，看他们是否愿意遵从主藉著摩西向他们祖先颁布的诫命。

†[新译]他们留在那里，为要借着他们试验以色列人，要知道他们是否听从耶和华借摩西吩咐他们列祖的诫命。

†[Wlb]所以留此、为试以色列人遵耶和华藉摩西谕其祖之诫否、

†[Xdv]上主留下这些民族是要考验以色列人，看看他们是否服从上主藉着摩西颁布给他们祖先的诫命。

†[Kjv]And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

†[Nkjv]And they were left, that He might test Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of the LORD, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

†[BBE]For the purpose of testing Israel by them, to see if they would give ear to the orders of the Lord, which he had given to their fathers by the hand of Moses.

†[GNT] They were to be a test for Israel, to find out whether or not the Israelites would obey the commands that the Lord had given their ancestors through Moses.

†[NIV]They were left to test the Israelites to see whether they would obey the LORD 's commands, which he had given their forefathers through Moses.

本会注释　　试验以色列人。见@士2:22,23@注释。

士3:5 以色列人竟住在迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人中间， (串)出3:8;13:5拉9:1

†[吕]于是以色列人住在迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人中间，

†[思]以色列子民就住在客纳罕人、赫特人、阿摩黎人、培黎齐人、希威人和耶步斯人中间，

†[当代]可是，以色列人不单没有消灭他们，反而跟这些迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人杂居共处，

†[新译]以色列人就住在迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人中间；

†[Wlb]于是以色列人居迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人之中、

†[Xdv]于是以色列人住在迦南人、赫人、亚摩利人、比利洗人、希未人，和耶布斯人当中；

†[Kjv]And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

†[Nkjv]Thus the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

†[BBE]Now the children of Israel were living among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites:

†[GNT] And so the people of Israel settled down among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

†[NIV]The Israelites lived among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

本会注释　　亚摩利人。见@士1:35,36@注释。
　　比利洗人。见@士1:4@注释。
　　耶布斯人。见@士1:21@注释。

士3:6 娶他们的女儿为妻，将自己的女儿嫁给他们的儿子，并事奉他们的神。 (串)出34:16申7:3拉9:12

†[吕]娶他们的女儿为妻，把自己的女儿嫁给他们的儿子，并且服事他们的神。

†[思]竟然娶了他们的女子为妻，也把自己的女儿嫁给他们的儿子，事奉了他们的神。

†[当代]彼此通婚，并且敬拜他们的假神。

†[新译]他们娶他们的女儿作妻子，也把自己的女儿嫁给他们的儿子，并且事奉他们的神。

†[Wlb]取其女为妻、以女嫁其子、崇事其神、

†[Xdv]他们跟这些人通婚，拜他们的神明。

†[Kjv]And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

†[Nkjv]And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons; and they served their gods.

†[BBE]And they took as wives the daughters of these nations and gave their daughters to their sons, and became servants to their gods.

†[GNT] They intermarried with them and worshiped their gods.

†[NIV]They took their daughters in marriage and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

本会注释　　《创世记》提到信仰上帝与不信仰上帝的民族之间的通婚，是造成洪水前地上盛行罪恶的一个因素（创6:2- 4）。耶和华严厉禁止与不信的迦南民族联姻（申7:3），但百姓却常常忽视这样的规戒。这种联姻的结果从所罗门的经历中显而易见（王上11:1-8）。类似悲剧性结果的危险今天仍然存在。信徒与非信徒的婚姻中，信徒的信仰被破坏是非常普遍的事。这几乎没有例外（见林后6:14-17）。

士3:7 以色列人行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，忘记耶和华他们的上帝，去事奉诸巴力和亚舍拉， (串)士2:11-13

†[吕]以色列人行了永恒主所看为坏的事，忘了永恒主他们的上帝，去服事众巴力（即：外国人的神）和亚舍拉神木，

†[思]以色列子民行了上主视为恶的事，忘却了上主他们的天主，而事奉了巴耳诸神和阿舍辣诸女神；

†[当代]以色列人做主认为恶的事，忘记他们的主上帝，敬拜假神巴力和亚舍拉。

†[新译]以色列人行了耶和华看为恶的事，忘记了耶和华他们的　神，去事奉众巴力和亚舍拉。

†[Wlb]以色列人行耶和华所恶、忘其上帝耶和华、而崇事诸巴力、暨木偶、

†[Xdv]以色列人民忘记了上主──他们的上帝；他们得罪他，去拜巴力和亚舍拉。

†[Kjv]And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

†[Nkjv]So the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD. They forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and Asherahs.

†[BBE]And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and put out of their minds the Lord their God, and became servants to the Baals and the Astartes.

†[GNT] The people of Israel forgot the Lord their God; they sinned against him and worshiped the idols of Baal and Asherah.

†[NIV]The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD ; they forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.

本会注释　　亚舍拉。希伯来语是asheroth 或它的单数形式asherah。参王下23:6。“亚舍拉”不大可能搬出耶和华的殿。这些亚舍拉显然是木柱或树桩，其中之一通常立在异教神坛旁边作为敬拜的对象，可能被当作神灵的住地（见申16:21；王下17:10）。这些偶像在迦南庙宇中很普遍，在希伯来人的崇拜中逐渐被使用。我们看到在基甸的家乡巴力的坛旁有一个（士6:25），还有的在撒玛利亚，耶路撒冷和伯特利（王下13:6；23:6,15）。他们的名字似乎来自迦南的一个著名女神亚斯他录。在拉斯夏拉碑文中，她被描绘为众神之母，常常被称为大海女神，至于树桩和木柱如何成为她的象征，就不得而知了。

士3:8 所以耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作，就把他们交在美索不达米亚王古珊利萨田的手中。以色列人服事古珊利萨田八年。 (串)士2:14,20|哈3:7

†[吕]因此永恒主向以色列人发怒，就把他们交付于米所波大米王古珊利萨田的手中；以色列人服事了古珊利萨田八年。

†[思]因此上主对以色列大发忿怒，将他们交在厄东王雇商黎沙塔殷手中，以色列子民遂服事了雇商黎沙塔殷八年。

†[当代]主因此非常愤怒，就把他们交在美索不达美亚王古珊利萨田的手中，叫他们饱受奴役达八年之久。

†[新译]因此，耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作，把他们完全交在两河之间的亚兰王古珊利萨田的手中；以色列人服事了古珊利萨田八年。

†[Wlb]故耶和华怒以色列人、付之米所波大米王古珊利萨田手、事之八年、

†[Xdv]于是上主向以色列发怒，把他们交在美索不达米亚的古珊利萨田王手中。他们服事了古珊利萨田八年。

†[Kjv]Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.

†[Nkjv]Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.

†[BBE]So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel were his servants for eight years.

†[GNT] So the Lord became angry with Israel and let King Cushan Rishathaim of Mesopotamia conquer them. They were subject to him for eight years.

†[NIV]The anger of the LORD burned against Israel so that he sold them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim, to whom the Israelites were subject for eight years.

本会注释　　祂就把他们交在……手中。即上帝允许他们被打败并臣服于外族，只有通过纳贡来保留其领土。
　　《士师记》从这里才开始事实的叙述。至此本卷通过两段序言（士1:1至2:5及2:6至3:7）讲解历史背景并声明这样的原则：即百姓的罪招致受外族的压迫，但上帝通过一个“士师”来施行拯救，为以色列人接受他们的崇高命运再提供一个机会。士师俄陀聂的故事与其他士师的故事一样，阐明了这一真理。
　　古珊利萨田。历史记录中没有迦南被一个名叫古珊利萨田的美索不达米亚王侵占的资料。这个称呼的意思是“双重邪恶的古珊”。“利萨田”可能是以色列人加的，以表达他们对他的厌恶之情。侵略来自东北方，出自希伯来语'Aram Naharayim，意思是“两条河的阿拉姆”。这是对幼发拉底河上游和Khābûr河之间地区的普遍称谓，美索不达米亚后来是指底格里斯河和幼发拉底河之间的所有地区，由于那时这个地区是被米坦尼王统治，所以古珊利萨田可能就是一个米坦尼王。

士3:9 以色列人呼求耶和华的时候，耶和华就为他们兴起一位拯救者救他们，就是迦勒兄弟基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂。 (串)本章15士4:3;6:7;10:10撒上12:10|本章15士2:16尼9:27|士1:13

†[吕]以色列人向永恒主哀呼，永恒主就为以色列人兴起了一位拯救者来拯救他们，就是迦勒的兄弟、那比他小的、基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂。

†[思]当以色列子民向上主呼吁时，上主给以色列子民兴起了一个拯救他们的救星，即加肋布的弟弟刻纳次的儿子敖特尼耳。

†[当代]但是，当他们向主呼求的时候，主就为他们兴起一位名叫俄陀聂的拯救者，他是迦勒的弟弟基纳斯的儿子。

†[新译]以色列人向耶和华哀求的时候，耶和华就为以色列人兴起一位拯救者拯救他们，就是迦勒的弟弟基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂。

†[Wlb]以色列人吁耶和华、耶和华为之兴起救者、即迦勒弟基纳斯子俄陀聂以拯之、

†[Xdv]后来他们呼求上主，上主就派一个人来解救他们。这个人是俄陀聂；他是迦勒的弟弟基纳斯的儿子。

†[Kjv]And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

†[Nkjv]When the children of Israel cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

†[BBE]And when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

†[GNT] Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he sent someone to free them. This was Othniel, the son of Caleb's younger brother Kenaz.

†[NIV]But when they cried out to the LORD , he raised up for them a deliverer, Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, who saved them.

怀爱伦注释　　俄陀聂作士师──在以色列昌盛的期间，他们竟把上帝忘记了，他们曾受到警告，要他们作所须作的事，可是他们却是颠倒是非了，于是希怕来人便被米所波大米王所制服，并且受他奴役了八年，他们在苦难之中发现他们所联络的偶像并不能帮助他们，因而他们便回忆起上产的奇妙作为，并即开始向上帝呼求，所以上帝便为他们兴起一位拯救者俄陀聂，他是迦勒的弟弟，上帝的灵降在他身上，他就来判断以色列民而作他们的士师，并且他又率领他们出去战争，于是上帝将米所波大米王交在他手中。
　　当上产拣选俄陀聂作首领，拯救以色列民时，他并不拒绝担任这个职任，他凭着上帝的能力，立时开始按照上帝所吩咐的去遏止偶像崇拜、并秉公行义和高举道德与宗教信仰标准，当以色列民悔改他们的罪孽时，上帝便向他们显示大怜悯和为他们施行拯救工作。
　　俄陀聂统治以色列四十年之久，于此期间，百姓忠诚地持守神圣的律法，因而国家便大享平安和繁荣，但当俄陀聂死了以后，他的明智和有益的统治也便止息了，而以色列民又故态复萌去偶像崇拜，并且这种堕落和惩罚，认罪和拯救的故事，重复而又重复。（《时兆》1881.6.9）
本会注释　　呼求耶和华。百姓固执任性过后，美梦化为泡影，终于转向他们的上帝。他们幡然醒悟：偶像崇拜使他们走上了悖逆之道。因为这样的醒悟，他们又转回到他们父辈的上帝那里。
　　有人作了这样适当的评论：痛苦使得那些在上帝面前从未祈求的人苦苦地向衪呼求，这就是上帝试验的目的，百姓在他们困苦时期转向仰赖耶和华。真诚的求助从来不会落空，虽然不是每一次的苦难都会转移，但上帝要叫那些爱衪并完全顺服衪的人万事都互相效力，叫他们得益处（罗8:28）。尽管如此，到了一个时候，虽然人会“向我哀求，我却不听”（耶11:11）。因此，我们当趁耶和华相近的时候求告衪（赛55:6）。今天正是拯救的日子。
　　兴起一位拯救者。当以色列人在危难中向上帝呼求的时候，衪听到呼声，就为他们兴起了一位民族的拯救者，就是迦勒的女婿俄陀聂（士1:13）。

士3:10 耶和华的灵降在他身上，他就作了以色列的士师，出去争战。耶和华将美索不达米亚王古珊利萨田交在他手中，他便胜了古珊利萨田。 (串)士6:34;11:29;13:25;14:6,19;15:14

†[吕]永恒主的灵感动他，他就作士师来拯救以色列；他出去交战，永恒主将亚兰王古珊利萨田交在他手中，他的手就强过古珊利萨田。

†[思]上主的神降在他身上，他作了以色列的民长，出去作战；上主把厄东王雇商黎沙塔殷交在他手中，他的能力胜过了雇商黎沙塔殷。

†[当代]主的灵降在俄陀聂身上，他就作了以色列的士师。他领兵出战，主就帮助他打败美索不达美亚王古珊利萨田。

†[新译]耶和华的灵临到他身上，他就治理以色列人；他出去作战，耶和华把亚兰王古珊利萨田交在他手中，他的能力就胜过了古珊利萨田。

†[Wlb]耶和华之神临之、为以色列士师出战、耶和华以米所波大米王古珊利萨田付于其手、使之获胜、

†[Xdv]上主的灵临到他，他就作以色列人民的士师。俄陀聂出去打仗；上主把美索不达米亚王交在他手中，使他打胜仗。

†[Kjv]And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.

†[Nkjv]The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan- Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim.

†[BBE]And the spirit of the Lord came on him and he became judge of Israel, and went out to war, and the Lord gave up Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, into his hands and he overcame him.

†[GNT] The spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he became Israel's leader. Othniel went to war, and the Lord gave him the victory over the king of Mesopotamia.

†[NIV]The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, so that he became Israel's judge and went to war. The LORD gave Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him.

本会注释　　耶和华的灵。上帝不没有把圣灵的特别恩赐只保留在新约的时期。古时衪也赐下圣灵来装备衪的仆人去完成工作。
　　俄陀聂是一个真正杰出的士师。他没有轻率和不敬的行为。他不像其他士师，虽然能率领以色列百姓赢得胜利，但也往往落入失误，哀伤和悲惨结局的阴影之中。
　　作了以色列的士师。当耶和华的灵降在俄陀聂的身上时，他就作了以色列的士师，然后出去争战。这表明他在与敌作战前，先在百姓中把事情做好。罪是最坏的敌人，首先需要战胜。只有战胜了这个敌人，我们才有希望战胜外来的敌人。
　　出去争战。即使耶和华的灵沛降在我们身上，我们也不能坐等胜利的果实。那些有上帝的灵与之同在的人也需要行动，耶和华的灵是一切良善和巨大成就的始发者，但他的工作要借着人来成就。
　　他便胜了。我们不知道这次战争的细节，但那一定是十分激烈，双方旗鼓相当，势均力敌。而此时，耶和华再次帮助了以色列人，使他们赢得了胜利。

士3:11 于是国中太平四十年。基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂死了。 (串)本章30士5:31;8:28书11:23|士2:19

†[吕]于是地方太平四十年。基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂死了。

†[思]于是四境平安了四十年。

†[当代]从此以后，国内安享太平四十年。但在俄陀聂逝世之后，

†[新译]于是国中太平了四十年。后来基纳斯的儿子俄陀聂死了。

†[Wlb]其地绥安、历四十年、基纳斯子俄陀聂卒、

†[Xdv]于是这地方太平四十年，直到俄陀聂死了。

†[Kjv]And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

†[Nkjv]So the land had rest for forty years. Then Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

†[BBE]Then for forty years the land had peace, till the death of Othniel, the son of Kenaz.

†[GNT] There was peace in the land for forty years, and then Othniel died.

†[NIV]So the land had peace for forty years, until Othniel son of Kenaz died.

士3:12 以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，耶和华就使摩押王伊矶伦强盛，攻击以色列人。 (串)撒上12:9

†[吕]以色列人又行了永恒主所看为坏的事，永恒主就使摩押王伊矶伦强盛，来攻击以色列人，

†[思]以色列子民又行了上主视为恶的事，上主就强化摩阿布王厄革隆去打以色列，因为他们行了上主视为恶的事。

†[当代]以色列人又重蹈覆辙，做主认为恶的事；于是，上帝使摩押王伊矶伦强盛起来，攻击以色列人。

†[新译]以色列人又行了耶和华看为恶的事，耶和华就使摩押王伊矶伦强盛起来，欺压以色列人，因为他们行了耶和华看为恶的事。

†[Wlb]以色列人又行耶和华所恶、耶和华因此、使摩押王伊矶伦强盛、以攻以色列、

†[Xdv]以色列人民又得罪上主。因此，上主使摩押王伊矶伦比以色列强盛。

†[Kjv]And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

†[Nkjv]And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD. So the LORD strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

†[BBE]Then the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord; and the Lord made Eglon, king of Moab, strong against Israel, because they had done evil in the Lord's eyes.

†[GNT] The people of Israel sinned against the Lord again. Because of this the Lord made King Eglon of Moab stronger than Israel.

†[NIV]Once again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD , and because they did this evil the LORD gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel.

本会注释　　又行……恶的事。信心坚定的士师俄陀聂去世以后，以色列人又渐渐随从偶像崇拜的风气。由此我们可以看到教会或国家里的一个好人的存在有多大的作用。一个公义正直的领袖是一个国家最大的福分之一，不仅仅是他作出的决策，更是因为他生活的榜样对他人所发挥的影响力。现今的世界需要像俄陀聂这样的人──被圣灵充满──将他的民带回到上帝的面前。
　　耶和华使……强盛。这是第二轮压迫时期的开始。俄陀聂死后，以色列民又回到了罪恶的道路上，上帝让外族再次压迫希伯来人。这是为了使他们受益。
　　伊矶伦。摩押人与希伯来人是近亲（创19:36-38）。之前这两族人从未激烈交战。伊矶伦与亚扪人（他们的国在摩押的北部）和亚玛力人（迁移到南方的贝多因人）结盟。伊矶伦首次发动的进攻是攻打棕树城的耶利哥（见士1:16），结果攻占了耶利哥城和便雅悯附近的领土。可能约在60年以后，进攻的希伯来人又毁坏了耶利哥城，该城后来要么在一定程度上重建，要么在其城郊新建一座城。

士3:13 伊矶伦招聚亚扪人和亚玛力人，去攻打以色列人，占据棕树城。 (串)士5:14;6:33诗83:7|申34:3士1:16

†[吕]伊矶伦聚集了亚扪人和亚玛力人，来攻击以色列人，大家占据了棕树城。

†[思]他联合了阿孟子民和阿玛肋克人，前来击败以色列，占据了棕树城；

†[当代]伊矶伦联同亚扪人和亚玛力人进攻以色列人，占据了棕树城（即耶利哥），

†[新译]伊矶伦集合了亚扪人和亚玛力人，前来击败了以色列人，占领了棕树城。

†[Wlb]遂集亚扪亚玛力二族、往攻以色列、据棕树城、

†[Xdv]伊矶伦王联合亚扪人和亚玛力人，打败以色列人，攻下了棕树城耶利哥。

†[Kjv]And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

†[Nkjv]Then he gathered to himself the people of Ammon and Amalek, went and defeated Israel, and took possession of the City of Palms.

†[BBE]And Eglon got together the people of Ammon and Amalek, and they went and overcame Israel and took the town of palm-trees.

†[GNT] Eglon joined the Ammonites and the Amalekites; they defeated Israel and captured Jericho, the city of palm trees.

†[NIV]Getting the Ammonites and Amalekites to join him, Eglon came and attacked Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms.

士3:14 于是以色列人服事摩押王伊矶伦十八年。

†[吕]于是以色列人服事了摩押王伊矶伦十八年。

†[思]以色列遂服事了摩阿布王厄革隆十八年。

†[当代]因此以色列人就在摩押王伊矶伦手中受奴役十八年。

†[新译]于是以色列人服事了摩押王伊矶伦十八年。

†[Wlb]以色列人事摩押王伊矶伦、十有八年、

†[Xdv]以色列人服事了伊矶伦十八年。

†[Kjv]So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

†[Nkjv]So the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.

†[BBE]And the children of Israel were servants to Eglon, king of Moab, for eighteen years.

†[GNT] The Israelites were subject to Eglon for eighteen years.

†[NIV]The Israelites were subject to Eglon king of Moab for eighteen years.

士3:15 以色列人呼求耶和华的时候，耶和华就为他们兴起一位拯救者，就是便雅悯人基拉的儿子以笏；他是左手便利的。以色列人托他送礼物给摩押王伊矶伦。 (串)本章9|士20:16代上12:2

†[吕]以色列人向永恒主哀呼，永恒主就为他们兴起了一位拯救者、便雅悯人基拉的儿子以笏，一个能用左手的人。以色列人由他经手送贡物给摩押王伊矶伦。

†[思]当以色列子民向上主呼吁时，上主给他们兴起了一位拯救者，就是本雅明人革辣的儿子厄胡得，他是左右手能兼用的人；以色列子民便派他给摩阿布王厄革隆献贡物。

†[当代]然而，当他们呼求主的时候，主就给他们兴起一个名叫以笏的人拯救他们。以笏是便雅悯人基拉的儿子，他是个用左手的人。以色列人派他把礼物进贡给摩押王伊矶伦。

†[新译]以色列人向耶和华哀求的时候，耶和华就为他们兴起一位拯救者，就是便雅悯人基拉的儿子以笏，是一个用左手的人。以色列人派他把贡物送给摩押王伊矶伦。

†[Wlb]以色列人吁耶和华、耶和华为之兴起救者、即便雅悯人基拉之子以笏、其人左手较捷、以色列人藉之进贡摩押王伊矶伦、

†[Xdv]后来以色列人呼求上主，上主就差派一个人来解救他们。这个人是以笏；他是便雅悯族人基拉的儿子，习惯用左手。以色列人派以笏向摩押王伊矶伦进贡。

†[Kjv]But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

†[Nkjv]But when the children of Israel cried out to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man. By him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab.

†[BBE]Then when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Ehud, the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man; and the children of Israel sent an offering by him to Eglon, king of Moab.

†[GNT] Then the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he sent someone to free them. This was Ehud, a left-handed man, who was the son of Gera, from the tribe of Benjamin. The people of Israel sent Ehud to King Eglon of Moab with gifts for him.

†[NIV]Again the Israelites cried out to the LORD , and he gave them a deliverer-Ehud, a left-handed man, the son of Gera the Benjamite. The Israelites sent him with tribute to Eglon king of Moab.

本会注释　　以笏。以色列人在服侍这个外族王18年以后，对他们的处境极为厌倦，他们再次认识到所遭遇的苦难源于他们宗教的背道。他们带着某种程度的悔悟呼求耶和华的帮助，虽然他们背信弃义，但上帝却又通过从便雅悯支派中为他们兴起一位拯救者来作出回应。第一个士师出自最重要的犹大支派，此时犹大似乎没有被压迫民族所拥护的人。至少耶和华使用了来自最小支派的一个人，这个支派在摩押人的压迫中首当其冲。
　　左手便利的。这里说耶和华所拣选的拯救者以笏是左撇子（直译是“右手受限制”）。这个事实与后面的讲述有关，即左撇子会把佩剑拴挂在常人习惯另外一侧，这有助于隐藏武器。
　　礼物。很可能是每年交纳的贡品，交纳实物，需要很多以色列人护送，以防路上遭遇强盗抢劫。

士3:16 以笏打了一把两刃的剑，长一肘，带在右腿上衣服里面。

†[吕]以笏打了一把刀，是双刃的，长一短肘，装束在右腿上长衣底下。

†[思]厄胡得预备了一把一肘长的双刃刀，插在右腿衣服底下，

†[当代]他预先把一口长约半公尺、两刃的利剑藏在右腿的衣服里。

†[新译]以笏做了一把两刃的剑，长半公尺，缚在右腿上，在衣服底下。

†[Wlb]以笏铸两刃之剑、长一肘、系右股衣内、

†[Xdv]以笏打了一把两刃的剑，半公尺长，把它绑在右腿上，藏在衣服里面，

†[Kjv]But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

†[Nkjv]Now Ehud made himself a dagger (it was double-edged and a cubit in length) and fastened it under his clothes on his right thigh.

†[BBE]So Ehud made himself a two-edged sword, a cubit long, which he put on at his right side under his robe.

†[GNT] Ehud had made himself a double-edged sword about a foot and a half long. He had it fastened on his right side under his clothes.

†[NIV]Now Ehud had made a double-edged sword about a foot and a half long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing.

本会注释　　肘。该词在《旧约》其他地方没有出现，所以很难确定这个单位有多长，根据后面的叙述，我们可以推断它大约是一英尺长。

士3:17 他将礼物献给摩押王伊矶伦（原来伊矶伦极其肥胖）；

†[吕]他把贡物呈献给摩押王伊矶伦；伊矶伦原是个极胖的人。

†[思]来到摩阿布王厄革隆前献贡物──厄革隆原是极肥胖的人。

†[当代]他带著贡物去谒见伊矶伦。伊矶伦是一个非常肥胖的人。

†[新译]他把贡物呈献给摩押王伊矶伦；伊矶伦原是个非常肥胖的人。

†[Wlb]进贡摩押王伊矶伦、其王肥甚、

†[Xdv]然后带着礼物去见伊矶伦这个大胖子。

†[Kjv]And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

†[Nkjv]So he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. (Now Eglon was a very fat man.)

†[BBE]And he took the offering to Eglon, king of Moab, who was a very fat man.

†[GNT] Then he took the gifts to Eglon, who was a very fat man.

†[NIV]He presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man.

本会注释　　极其肥胖。这是下面的一个重要事实；插在这里是要期待故事的高潮。

士3:18 以笏献完礼物，便将抬礼物的人打发走了，

†[吕]以笏呈献完了贡物，便将抬贡物的平民打发走。

†[思]献完贡物以后，就把抬贡物的人打发走，

†[当代]以笏献上了贡物之后，就打发抬贡物的人先行离去，

†[新译]以笏献完了贡物，就把抬贡物的众人打发走了。

†[Wlb]进贡已毕、遣舁者去、

†[Xdv]以笏献礼物给他以后，叫抬礼物的人都回家。

†[Kjv]And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.

†[Nkjv]And when he had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who had carried the tribute.

†[BBE]And after giving the offering, he sent away the people who had come with the offering.

†[GNT] When Ehud had given him the gifts, he told the men who had carried them to go back home.

†[NIV]After Ehud had presented the tribute, he sent on their way the men who had carried it.

本会注释　　以笏献完他们送来的礼物，就打发一同来的人回家了。他们走到安全的距离之外后，以笏就回来执行他危险的任务，记载中没有说明摩押王居所的地点。上下文表明它是在从吉甲过约旦河不远的一个摩押小镇。

士3:19 自己却从靠近吉甲凿石之地回来，说：“王啊，我有一件机密事奏告你。”王说：“回避吧！”于是左右侍立的人都退去了。 (串)本章26书4:20

†[吕]自己却从靠近吉甲的众雕像那里回来，说：“王啊，我有一件机密事要奏告你。”王说：“回避（原文：肃静）。”于是左右站班的人都从他面前退出去。

†[思]自己却由基耳加耳柱像那退回，说：“王呀！我有机密事要对你说。”王说：“退下！”于是侍立左右的人都退去。

†[当代]自己却从吉甲附近雕刻神像的矿场折回王宫，对王说：“启奏陛下，微臣有机密情报要向陛下禀告。”王就下令全部侍从退避一刻。

†[新译]自己却从靠近吉甲的众雕像那里回来，说：“王啊，我有一件机密的事要对你说。”王说：“暂不要说。”侍立左右的人都离开他出去了。

†[Wlb]以笏至吉甲偶像处而返、告曰、王欤、我有密事奏尔、王曰、肃静、侍者咸出、

†[Xdv]他自己在吉甲附近的雕石处转回来，回到伊矶伦那里，对他说：“陛下，我有一件机密的事奉告你。”于是王命令他的左右：“你们走开吧！”他们就都回避了。

†[Kjv]But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

†[Nkjv]But he himself turned back from the stone images that were at Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." He said, "Keep silence!" And all who attended him went out from him.

†[BBE]But he himself, turning back from the stone images at Gilgal, said, I have something to say to you in secret, O king. And he said, Let there be quiet. Then all those who were waiting before him went out.

†[GNT] But Ehud himself turned back at the carved stones near Gilgal, went back to Eglon, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a secret message for you." So the king ordered his servants, "Leave us alone!" And they all went out.

†[NIV]At the idols near Gilgal he himself turned back and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." The king said, "Quiet!" And all his attendants left him.

本会注释　　凿石。直译是“雕像”或“雕刻的石碑”。可能是刻字的石界碑或是由摩押人在吉甲附近建立的异教神庙，这都被以色列人视为偶像崇拜。“凿石”的译文可以追溯到犹太的塔古姆（Targum），它将这一希伯来单词这样翻译，或许是为了避免让人以为以笏在偶像周围逗留，或约书亚立起石碑（书4:20）。此纪念碑没有用“雕刻的石碑”，或许他们只不过是常见的里程碑而已。
　　机密事。这个借口很有效，王就毫无迟疑的接受了，因为以笏已献了礼物，王可能以为他还要透露一些以色列的秘密情报。可能王已得知以笏打发他的同伴先离开了，就自然地推断以笏这样做是为了不被他们察觉。
　　回避吧。该希伯来单词是一个象声词。伊矶伦向侍立的人发出这样的声音。以笏不敢要求宫廷侍从退离，因此他可能在所有的人面前表现出要透露秘密的样子。当然，王不想秘密情报泄露给他人，所以就发出这样的声音让他的侍从们退下去。

士3:20 以笏来到王面前；王独自一人坐在凉楼上。以笏说：“我奉上帝的命报告你一件事。”王就从座位上站起来。 (串)摩3:15

†[吕]以笏来到王那里；王正独自坐在他凉爽的房顶屋子。以笏说：“我有上帝的话要报告你”；王从座位上站起来。

†[思]厄胡得来到他跟前，他正独自坐在凉台上的房子；厄胡得说：“我有神谕告诉你！”王就从自己的座位上起立；

†[当代]当时只有王独自在楼房里乘凉，以笏走到王面前，对他说：“我从上帝得了谕旨，要向陛下禀告。”王一听见，就立刻肃然起立；

†[新译]以笏来到王那里；王独自一人坐在凉楼上。以笏说：“我有　神的话要告诉你。”王就从座位上站起来。

†[Wlb]王在楼上、独坐凉室、以笏诣之曰、我奉上帝命、有言告尔、王遂起、

†[Xdv]那时，王单独坐在屋顶上的凉楼里；以笏走进前，对他说：“我有从上帝来的信息要奉告你。”王站了起来。

†[Kjv]And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

†[Nkjv]So Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool private chamber). Then Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you." So he arose from his seat.

†[BBE]Then Ehud came in to him while he was seated by himself in his summer-house. And Ehud said, I have a word from God for you. And he got up from his seat.

†[GNT] Then, as the king was sitting there alone in his cool room on the roof, Ehud went over to him and said, "I have a message from God for you." The king stood up.

†[NIV]Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his summer palace and said, "I have a message from God for you." As the king rose from his seat,

本会注释　　凉楼。直译是“楼上凉快的房屋”。现代阿拉伯语仍如此称呼这种房间。它是外加的一层，通常建在房屋一角平顶的第三层，像建筑物竖立的一个塔，它上部和各面都有格窗，热天通气散热，非常舒适。
　　故事似乎省略了一些细节，王命令他的侍从离开后，退到了他的秘室，并叫以笏进来，也可能以笏的第一句话（19节）是通过使者传到王那里的。
　　上帝的命。以笏的这句话是一个计策，使他可以与王靠得更近。此话一出，王立即起身表示对神谕的敬意。

士3:21 以笏便伸左手，从右腿上拔出剑来，刺入王的肚腹， (串)撒下20:9|撒下20:10

†[吕]以笏便伸左手、从右腿上拔出刀来，戳入王的肚子；

†[思]厄胡得遂伸左手从右腿上拔出刀来，刺入他的腹部，

†[当代]以笏随即用左手拔出藏在右腿上的剑，刺进王的肚腹中，

†[新译]以笏就伸出左手，从右腿上拔出剑来，刺入王的腹中；

†[Wlb]以笏伸其左手、拔剑于右股际、以刺王腹、

†[Xdv]以笏用左手拔出藏在右腿上的剑，刺进王的肚子；

†[Kjv]And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

†[Nkjv]Then Ehud reached with his left hand, took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.

†[BBE]And Ehud put out his left hand, and took the sword from his right side, and sent it into his stomach;

†[GNT] With his left hand Ehud took the sword from his right side and plunged it into the king's belly.

†[NIV]Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh and plunged it into the king's belly.

本会注释　　左手。很自然的情形是，用左手有助于防止王怀疑他从衣袍下拔匕首。强大的力量刺穿了王的肚腹，以至于整个剑都看不见了。王极其肥胖。骄奢淫逸的生活使得他大腹便便，无力防卫。

士3:22 连剑把都刺进去了。剑被肥肉夹住，他没有从王的肚腹拔出来，且穿通了后身。

†[吕]连刀柄也跟刀身进去；脂肪把刀身夹住；他没有把刀从王肚子里拔出来；连粪也流出来了。

†[思]柄和刀都刺了进去，脂肪遂包住了刀子，他没有从肚子把刀抽出来；

†[当代]甚至剑柄也插了进去；因为剑给肥肉夹住，以笏没有把剑拔出来，

†[新译]连剑柄与剑身都刺进去了，肥肉把剑身夹住，因此他没有把剑从王的肚腹里拔出来；接着他就从窗户爬了出去。

†[Wlb]剑柄亦入、其刃为脂所蔽、不拔之出、乃洞穿之、

†[Xdv]整把剑连刀带柄都刺进去了，肥肉夹住了剑，剑穿过后背。以笏把剑留在王的肚子里，

†[Kjv]And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

†[Nkjv]Even the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out.

†[BBE]And the hand-part went in after the blade, and the fat was joined up over the blade; for he did not take the sword out of his stomach. And he went out into the ...

†[GNT] The whole sword went in, handle and all, and the fat covered it up. Ehud did not pull it out of the king's belly, and it stuck out behind, between his legs.

†[NIV]Even the handle sank in after the blade, which came out his back. Ehud did not pull the sword out, and the fat closed in over it.

士3:23 以笏就出到游廊，将楼门尽都关锁。 (串)撒下13:17,18

†[吕]以笏出来到走廊，将房顶屋子的门都关起来，把王关在里面，并且闩上。

†[思]厄胡得出来到了走廊，把凉台上的门关上，上了锁。

†[当代]他踏出走廊，把楼房的门都锁起来就走了。

†[新译]以笏出到走廊，把凉楼上的门关起来，上了锁。

†[Wlb]以笏出至廊庑、扃键楼门、

†[Xdv]然后出去，把门都关好，锁上，

†[Kjv]Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.

†[Nkjv]Then Ehud went out through the porch and shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.

†[BBE]Then Ehud went out into the covered way, shutting the doors of the summer-house on him and locking them.

†[GNT] Then Ehud went outside, closed the doors behind him, locked them,

†[NIV]Then Ehud went out to the porch ; he shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.

本会注释　　品格发展过程中必然遭遇阻碍，这对以色列人学会如何在败坏的环境中过一种圣洁的生活是大有益处的。如果正确对待，持续不断地与邪恶势力斗争就会培植出对上帝真正的信心，故此，上帝在以色列各支派固守他们产业先前的努力中，没有使其全然兴盛。也因为同样的原因，上帝没有让约书亚完全控制所有的迦南地区。耶和华帮助以色列人尽可能多的赶出迦南人，以便为各支派提供定居之地。衪的计划是让百姓人数增多，并学到顺从和信心的功课，得到力量把残留的迦南人赶出去。以色列在大卫和所罗门统治下的历史中，至少在一定的程度上完成这个目标。

本会注释　　游廊。该希伯来词在《旧约》中只出现一次，来自一个意思是“排列”的词根，这里可能指“柱廊”，可以确定是建筑物的一部分。
　　将楼门尽都关锁。奴仆们全都退到宫廷的另外区域，才能做到这一点。然而我们可以推断，他们看见以笏离开那屋，因为他们回到了王所在的那间屋，发现门已锁了，就以为王想独处而不受干扰。

士3:24 以笏出来之后，王的仆人到了，看见楼门关锁，就说：“他必是在楼上大解。” (串)撒上24:3

†[吕]以笏出来之后，王的仆人来到，一看，只见房顶屋子的门都闩上，就说：王必是在凉屋内室里大便。

†[思]他出去之后，王臣前来，看见凉台的房门关着，就说：“他一定在凉台上的内室便溺。”

†[当代]以笏走了以后，王的仆役看见楼门紧锁，就以为王正在大解。

†[新译]以笏出来以后，王的仆人才来到；他们看见凉楼上的门锁着，就说：“王一定是在凉楼上大解。”

†[Wlb]既出、王仆至、见楼门上键、曰、王必在内室更衣、

†[Xdv]离开那里。侍从来，看见门都锁着，以为王在里面大解。

†[Kjv]When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.

†[Nkjv]When he had gone out, Eglon's servants came to look, and to their surprise, the doors of the upper room were locked. So they said, "He is probably attending to his needs in the cool chamber."

†[BBE]Now when he had gone, the king's servants came, and saw that the doors of the summer-house were locked; and they said, It may be that he is in his summer-house for a private purpose.

†[GNT] and left. The servants came and saw that the doors were locked, but they only thought that the king was inside, relieving himself.

†[NIV]After he had gone, the servants came and found the doors of the upper room locked. They said, "He must be relieving himself in the inner room of the house."

本会注释　　大解。直译是“盖住他的腿”，这是解便的一种委婉说法，参撒上24:3。侍从们自然对王的门被锁住的事有些犹豫。

士3:25 他们等烦了，见仍不开楼门，就拿钥匙开了，不料，他们的主人已死，倒在地上。

†[吕]赶等得慌了，见他仍然没有打开房顶屋子的门，就拿钥匙来开；哎呀，他们的主上早已倒在地上死了。

†[思]待他们等烦了，看见没有人来开凉台上的门，他们就拿钥匙把门开了，见他们的主子躺在地上死了。

†[当代]他们等了很久，可是门还没有打开，他们焦急起来，就拿钥匙开门；不料一看之下，发现他们的主人已经倒毙地上。

†[新译]他们等到发慌了，见他还不打开凉楼的门，就拿钥匙来开；不料，看见他们的主人早已倒在地上死了。

†[Wlb]俟久而门不启、则惶愧、取钥启之、见主已死、偃仆于地、

†[Xdv]他们等了很久，王还没有开门，就拿钥匙开了门。他们的主人竟躺在地上，死了。

†[Kjv]And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

†[Nkjv]So they waited till they were embarrassed, and still he had not opened the doors of the upper room. Therefore they took the key and opened them. And there was their master, fallen dead on the floor.

†[BBE]And they went on waiting till they were shamed, but the doors were still shut; so they took the key, and, opening them, saw their lord stretched out dead on the floor.

†[GNT] They waited as long as they thought they should, but when he still did not open the door, they took the key and opened it. And there was their master, lying dead on the floor.

†[NIV]They waited to the point of embarrassment, but when he did not open the doors of the room, they took a key and unlocked them. There they saw their Lord fallen to the floor, dead.

士3:26 他们耽延的时候，以笏就逃跑了，经过凿石之地，逃到西伊拉； (串)本章19

†[吕]他们耽延的时候、以笏逃跑了；他经过众雕像那里，朝着西伊拉逃跑。

†[思]在他们犹豫的时候，厄胡得已经逃走，绕过柱像，而逃往色依辣。

†[当代]他们正迟疑的时候，以笏早已由矿场那边逃往西伊拉去了。

†[新译]他们耽延的时候，以笏已经逃跑了；他经过众雕像那里，逃到西伊拉去。

†[Wlb]迟疑之际、以笏已遁、过偶像处、逃于西伊拉、

†[Xdv]以笏趁着那些侍从在等候的时候溜走了。他经过雕石处，逃到西伊拉。

†[Kjv]And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.

†[Nkjv]But Ehud had escaped while they delayed, and passed beyond the stone images and escaped to Seirah.

†[BBE]But Ehud had got away while they were waiting and had gone past the stone images and got away to Seirah.

†[GNT] Ehud got away while they were waiting. He went past the carved stones and escaped to Seirah.

†[NIV]While they waited, Ehud got away. He passed by the idols and escaped to Seirah.

本会注释　　逃跑。王的侍从的犹豫不决和等待给了以笏先逃跑的足够时间，王宫可能就在约旦河附近，以笏很快就可以逃到河对岸的安全地带。
　　西伊拉。我们不知道该地的位置。似乎是在以法莲山地附近。

士3:27 到了，就在以法莲山地吹角。以色列人随着他下了山地，他在前头引路， (串)书17:15;24:33|士6:34撒上13:3

†[吕]既已到了，就在以法莲山地吹号角；以色列人从山地和他一同下来，他在他们前面领路；

†[思]他到了那，就在厄弗辣因山地吹号角，以色列子民就同他由山地下来，他在他们前面，

†[当代]到了那里，他便在以法莲的山地吹角，召集人民。众人就跟随以笏下山去，

†[新译]他去到以后，就在以法莲山地吹角；以色列人与他一同从山地上下来，他走在他们前头，

†[Wlb]至则吹角于以法莲山地、以色列人随之而下、以笏导之、

†[Xdv]到以法莲山区的西伊拉以后，他吹号召集以色列人上阵。他率领以色列人民下山，

†[Kjv]And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.

†[Nkjv]And it happened, when he arrived, that he blew the trumpet in the mountains of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mountains; and he led them.

†[BBE]And when he came there, he had a horn sounded in the hill-country of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he at their head.

†[GNT] When he arrived there in the hill country of Ephraim, he blew a trumpet to call the people of Israel to battle; then he led them down from the hills.

†[NIV]When he arrived there, he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went down with him from the hills, with him leading them.

本会注释　　以笏是便雅悯支派的人，他没有回到附近自己的支派，这一点好像有点蹊跷。或许是摩押有强大的守军在那里，或许是他觉得便雅悯人太胆小不能响应他的号召去争战；以法莲支派是各支派中人数最多，战斗力最强，响应战斗号令非常迅速的。

士3:28 对他们说：“你们随我来，因为耶和华已经把你们的仇敌摩押人交在你们手中。”于是他们跟着他下去，把守约但河的渡口，不容摩押一人过去。 (串)士4:7,14;7:9,15撒上17:47代下16:8王上22:12,15|书2:7士7:24;12:5

†[新译]对他们说：“你们跟随我，因为耶和华已经把你们的仇敌摩押人交在你们手中。”他们就跟随他下去，攻取约旦河的渡口，拦截摩押人，不让一个过去。

†[NIV]Follow me," he ordered, "for the LORD has given Moab, your enemy, into your hands." So they followed him down and, taking possession of the fords of the Jordan that led to Moab, they allowed no one to cross over.

本会注释　　约旦河的渡口。似乎指吉甲附近耶利哥东面的渡口。这一行动是为了防止摩押派援兵过来，也可以切断摩押人在约旦河以色列人这一侧的驻军的逃跑路线。

士3:31 以笏之后，有亚拿的儿子珊迦，他用赶牛的棍子打死六百非利士人。他也救了以色列人。 (串)士5:6|士2:16

†[吕]以笏之后、有亚拿的儿子珊迦；他用赶牛棍子击杀了非利士人六百人：他也拯救了以色列人。

†[Nkjv]After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who killed six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad; and he also delivered Israel.

†[BBE]And after him came Shamgar, the son of Anath, who put to death six hundred Philistines with an ox-stick; and he was another saviour of Israel.

†[NIV]After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath, who struck down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad. He too saved Israel.

本会注释　　珊迦。显然珊迦是接着登上舞台的民族英雄。他的业绩只是局部的，是针对非利士南部的非利士人。可能他与底波拉和巴拉在北方与迦南人作战是同一时期。士4:1说到底波拉和巴拉在以笏死后实施拯救，但没有提及珊迦。底波拉之歌有暗示珊迦是同时代的人的意思（士5:6）。这个事实的进一步证明是珊迦并没有包含在按年代顺序编排的叙事中，也没有他奉差遣年代的记录。在非利士人的压迫和奴役下，他在本地用精湛的武艺帮助以色列人，作为一个拯救者和民族英雄当之无愧，但他并没有被称作以色列的士师。
　　珊迦是一个外族的名字，被认为可能是何利人或赫人。这个外族名字可能因他的母亲是嫁给了何利人或迦南人的以色列人。作者已看到异族通婚是一个普遍现象。他父亲名叫亚拿，是异教神的名字，通常认为希伯来人不太可能起这样的名，除非其父母是背道的人。
　　赶牛的棍子。约有8英尺长，以便人在把犁耕地时能触及到牛。一端是金属尖角，另一端有刮犁头的凿型刀刃，这种棍能有效地当作矛枪使用。这样简陋的牛棍兵器在上帝的赐福下，其效用胜过了没有上帝赐福的“歌利亚的剑”。上帝有时选择用这种不可思议的方法，来显出衪的大能。
