撒母耳记上第11章

《圣经》撒母耳记上-第11章

撒上11:1 亚扪人的王拿辖上来，对着基列雅比安营。雅比众人对拿辖说：“你与我们立约，我们就服事你。” (串)撒上12:12撒下10:2|士21:8撒上31:11撒下2:4,5|创26:28王上20:34结17:13出23:32;34:12,15申7:2

†[吕]大约过了一个月，亚扪人拿辖上来，扎营围困基列雅比；雅比人对拿辖说：“你和我们立约，我们就服事你。”

†[思]大约过了一个月，阿孟人纳哈士上来围困基肋阿得的雅贝士，雅贝士所有的居民对纳哈士说：“你与我们立约，我们就服事你。”

†[当代]这时，拿辖带领亚扪人的军队来围困以色列的基列雅比城，城内的居民甘愿求和，便来恳求拿辖说：“让我们来立约吧！我们愿意作你们的仆人。”

†[新译]亚扪人拿辖上来，安营攻击基列雅比。所有的雅比人都对拿辖说：“你与我们立约，我们就服事你。”

†[Wlb]亚扪人拿辖上、建营以攻基列雅比、雅比人谓拿辖曰、与我立约、我则事尔、

†[Xdv]大约一个月后，亚扪人拿辖王进攻基列境内的雅比城；他的军队包围全城。雅比人对拿辖说：“跟我们订条约吧！我们愿意尊你为我们的统治者。”

†[Kjv]Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.

†[Nkjv]Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you."

†[BBE]Then about a month after this, Nahash the Ammonite came up and put his forces in position for attacking Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make an agreement with us and we will be your servants.

†[GNT] About a month later King Nahash of Ammon led his army against the town of Jabesh in the territory of Gilead and besieged it. The men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a treaty with us, and we will accept you as our ruler."

†[NIV]Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged Jabesh Gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to him, "Make a treaty with us, and we will be subject to you."

本会注释　　亚扪人拿辖。“拿辖”是常见的希伯来词，意为“蛇。”蛇在巴勒斯坦的异教庙宇中是一种显眼的装饰。以色列人离开加底斯的时候，在寻的旷野经历过这种有毒的爬行动物之后，曾认为保留铜蛇是合适的（民21:5-9；参王下18:4）。以色列人既看到蛇在他们邻国的所有宗教中都处于重要位置，不久以后，他们也开始崇敬他们所认为曾在旷野拯救他们的铜蛇了（参结8:7-12）。后来在希西家的时代，铜蛇才因这种尝拜而打碎（王下18:4）。由于个人的名字常与各种神的名字相结合，拿辖的名字显然暗示含有蛇的特性，例如智慧，诡诈和狡猾。
　　基列雅比。学者们以前认为这个城镇是俯瞰约旦河东11.5公里处瓦迪亚比斯（Wadi Yābis）的那些小山。但这对于基列雅比人来说太远了。他们不可能当夜就把扫罗和约拿单被钉的尸体从伯珊城墙上取下来（撒上31:11-13）。考古学家纳尔逊（Nelson Glueck）发现了几条明确的证据线索，致使他认定基列雅比是现在Tell el-Meqbereh和Tell Abū Kharaz的土丘，在约旦东4.3公里处，俯瞰它后面的雅比斯河。这条河源于基列小山的深谷，往西流与约旦河汇合（《约旦河》,159-167页）。这座城市是400位处女的家乡。她们的父母因没有参加反对便雅悯的内战而被杀。结果她们被送给几乎完全灭绝的便雅悯支派剩下的人为妻（士21:8-14）。
　　在拿辖之前许多年，以色列曾臣服于亚扪人18年之久。亚扪人自然对败在耶弗他手下耿耿于怀，总想找机会重新控制基列。迦得支派和玛拿西半支派拥有富饶的土地，雅博河、雅比斯河和雅姆河丰富的供水。他们的葡萄园和优质牧场不在干热的沙漠地带，受到东部沙漠民族的嫉妒。基列雅比是从早日的废墟中兴起的，但是它的居民可能还没有忘记在便雅悯事件之后受到的残忍惩罚。亚扪人因被耶弗他打败而对所有以色列人所怀的仇恨，要比基列雅比人与他们自己同胞之间的不和更加强烈。

撒上11:2 亚扪人拿辖说：“你们若由我剜出你们各人的右眼，以此凌辱以色列众人，我就与你们立约。” (串)民16:14|撒上17:26

†[吕]亚扪人拿辖对他们说：“只有这条件：你们各人的右眼剜出来，让我羞辱以色列众人：我就和你们立约。”

†[思]阿孟人纳哈士回答他们说：“在这条件下，我与你们立约：就是剜出你们各人的右眼，我要藉此羞辱全以色列。”

†[当代]拿辖说：“好，但有一个条件。我要挖去你们的右眼作为对全以色列人的一种羞辱。”

†[新译]亚扪人拿辖对他们说：“这是我与你们立约的条件：我要剜出你们各人的右眼，用来羞辱以色列众人。”

†[Wlb]拿辖曰、与尔立约、必有所凭、即抉尔众右目、以辱以色列众、

†[Xdv]拿辖说：“要我跟你们订条约吗？可以！有一个条件：我要把你们每个人的右眼挖出来，以此侮辱所有的以色列人。”

†[Kjv]And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.

†[Nkjv]And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, "On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that I may put out all your right eyes, and bring reproach on all Israel."

†[BBE]And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, I will make an agreement with you on this condition, that all your right eyes are put out; so that I may make it a cause of shame to all Israel.

†[GNT] Nahash answered, "I will make a treaty with you on one condition: I will put out everyone's right eye and so bring disgrace on all Israel."

†[NIV]But Nahash the Ammonite replied, "I will make a treaty with you only on the condition that I gouge out the right eye of every one of you and so bring disgrace on all Israel."

本会注释　　凌辱以色列众人。拿辖显然不知道以色列希望有一个在国王统治下各支派更紧密的组织。即便基列雅比人知道这个计划——在米斯巴选立扫罗时所有的支派都出席了（撒上10:17）—他们似乎也并不在意。基列雅比人的态度给人的印象是，国家的无组织状况不是因为他们需要一个王，而是因为他们拒绝耶和华的计划。自私已经发展到上帝所提供的任何解决办法都不会被全体所接受（见@撒上10:27@注释）。不是拿辖对雅比的长老们有特别的忌恨超过对以色列其他人的忌恨；他的目的是要通过侮辱他们中的一些人，显示对以色列所有人的轻蔑。同样，众生之敌也计划通过给一个失丧的人带来痛苦，然后控告说这种惩罚是侍奉上帝的自然结果，从而达到轻蔑天上众军的目的。

撒上11:3 雅比的长老对他说：“求你宽容我们七日，等我们打发人往以色列的全境去；若没有人救我们，我们就出来归顺你。”

†[吕]雅比的长老对他说：“请宽限我们七天，我们好打发人往以色列全境；若没有人拯救我们，我们就出来归顺你。”

†[思]雅贝士的长老回答他说：“请让我们休战七天，我们派人到以色列全境去，如果没有人来救我们，我们就向你投降。

†[当代]雅比的长老答道：“请宽限我们七天，让我们看看能否找到援助，要是全以色列都没有人来营救我们，我们就答应你的条件吧。”

†[新译]雅比的长老对他说：“请你宽限我们七天，好让我们派遣使者到以色列的全境去；如果没有人拯救我们，我们就出来向你投降。”

†[Wlb]雅此长老曰、予我七日之限、俾我遣使至以色列四境、如无援者、我则出降、

†[Xdv]雅比的长老们说：“请宽限我们七天，好派使者到以色列各地区去。如果没有人能帮助我们，我们就向你投降。”

†[Kjv]And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.

†[Nkjv]Then the elders of Jabesh said to him, "Hold off for seven days, that we may send messengers to all the territory of Israel. And then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you."

†[BBE]Then the responsible men of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days, so that we may send men to every part of Israel: and then, if no one comes to our help, we will come out to you.

†[GNT] The leaders of Jabesh said, "Give us seven days to send messengers throughout the land of Israel. If no one will help us, then we will surrender to you."

†[NIV]The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Give us seven days so we can send messengers throughout Israel; if no one comes to rescue us, we will surrender to you."

本会注释　　打发人。自从雅比人受亚扪人奴役以来，雅比人似乎多少断绝了与邻近的支派如以萨迦、以法莲和便雅悯的交往。这座城离示罗不超过48公里；而撒母耳的服务似乎主要限于以法莲、便雅悯和犹大。基列雅比人可能对其他的支派积怨已久，不知道撒母耳是士师吧？他们似乎不知道扫罗被任命为国王的事。可能他们一点儿也没参与对非利士人作战，独身自善，不愿意分担他们在支派中的责任。他们甚至连别的支派会不会对他们的恳求作出回应都不确定。在全然的绝望中，他们实际上承认了自己的缺点，只能依赖自己过去所忽视之以色列同胞的怜悯。

撒上11:4 使者到了扫罗住的基比亚，将这话说给百姓听，百姓就都放声而哭。 (串)撒上10:26|士2:4;21:2

†[吕]使者到了扫罗住的基比亚，将这些话说给人民听，众民就都放声而哭。

†[思]使者到了撒乌耳的基贝亚，就把这事讲给民众听，民众遂放声大哭。

†[当代]雅比的使者来到扫罗的家乡基比亚，把他们的苦况告诉众人，大家听了，都禁不住放声大哭起来。

†[新译]使者到了扫罗住的基比亚，把这些话说给众民听，众民就都放声大哭。

†[Wlb]使者至扫罗所居之基比亚、以此告民、民咸举声号哭、

†[Xdv]使者到了扫罗住的基比亚，把消息传出去。人民都绝望地痛哭起来。

†[Kjv]Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.

†[Nkjv]So the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told the news in the hearing of the people. And all the people lifted up their voices and wept.

†[BBE]So they sent representatives to Saul's town Gibeah, and these gave the news to the people: and all the people gave themselves to weeping.

†[GNT] The messengers arrived at Gibeah, where Saul lived, and when they told the news, the people started crying in despair.

†[NIV]When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and reported these terms to the people, they all wept aloud.

撒上11:5 扫罗正从田间赶牛回来，问说：“百姓为什么哭呢？”众人将雅比人的话告诉他。

†[吕]扫罗正从田间赶牛回来，就问说：“人民为了什么而哭呢？”有人将雅比人的话向他叙说。

†[思]那时撒乌耳正跟着牛从田间回来，便问说：“民众有什么事，如此号淘大哭？”人们就把雅贝士人的话讲给他听。

†[当代]那时扫罗正在田中耕作。他赶牛回来看见这个情形，便问道：“究竟发生了什么事？为什么每个人都在哭呢？”民众就把雅比的情况告诉他。

†[新译]那时，扫罗正从田里赶牛回来，问说：“什么事啊？为什么人都在哭呢？”于是有人把雅比人的话告诉他。

†[Wlb]扫罗自田驱牛而归、问曰、民遭何事而哭、众以雅比人之言告之、

†[Xdv]那时，扫罗刚从田里赶牛回来。他问：“怎么回事啊？为什么人人都在哭？”他们就把雅比人传来的消息告诉扫罗。

†[Kjv]And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.

†[Nkjv]Now there was Saul, coming behind the herd from the field; and Saul said, "What troubles the people, that they weep?" And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh.

†[BBE]Now Saul came from the field, driving the oxen before him; and he said, Why are the people weeping? And they gave him word of what the men of Jabesh had said.

†[GNT] Saul was just then coming in from the field with his oxen, and he asked, "What's wrong? Why is everyone crying?" They told him what the messengers from Jabesh had reported.

†[NIV]Just then Saul was returning from the fields, behind his oxen, and he asked, "What is wrong with the people? Why are they weeping?" Then they repeated to him what the men of Jabesh had said.

本会注释　　赶牛回来。显然扫罗耕作完了赶牛回来过夜。约瑟弗斯认为这是至少在他被任命后一个月（《犹太古代史》，卷5. 1）。由于他蒙选立并不受许多人欢迎，所以他显然回家等候膏立他的先知的指示。如果在扫罗被立为王之前拿辖就上来围困，会发生什么事呢？最重要的就是这位新王有机会在不肯认他作王的不满者面前证明自己的价值了。事件与人是彼此需要的。我们没有什么好害怕的，除非我们忘记了上帝在过去如何带领了祂的百姓。这个经验向每一个谦卑的基督徒保证：他不可能被放在一个上帝没有预作丰富安排的地方。

撒上11:6 扫罗听见这话，就被上帝的灵大大感动，甚是发怒。 (串)撒上10:10

†[吕]扫罗听见这些话，就被上帝的灵大大感动，怒气大发。

†[思]撒乌耳一听说这些话，上主的神便降在他身上，遂勃然大怒，

†[当代]这时，上帝的灵大大激动扫罗，他就非常愤怒。

†[新译]扫罗听了这些话，　神的灵大大感动他，他就非常忿怒。

†[Wlb]扫罗闻之、大感于上帝之神、怒甚、

†[Xdv]扫罗听到这消息，就被上帝的灵感动，非常愤怒。

†[Kjv]And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.

†[Nkjv]Then the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard this news, and his anger was greatly aroused.

†[BBE]And at their words, the spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he became very angry.

†[GNT] When Saul heard this, the spirit of God took control of him, and he became furious.

†[NIV]When Saul heard their words, the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he burned with anger.

本会注释　　被……感动。直译是“被临到。”该词也用来描述扫罗被膏后在回家路途上的经验（撒上10:6,10）。关于基甸的蒙召，圣经说：“耶和华的灵降在基甸身上”（士6:34）。当迦南南方五王因基遍人与以色列人立约而企图惩罚他们时，约书亚曾蒙指示出去援助基遍人。所以不管过去如何，当雅比人在敌人的攻击前需要帮助时，上帝的灵就证明对他们求助的应答早就开始运作了。感谢上帝，因为祂有无数种克服困难的办法！

撒上11:7 他将一对牛切成块子，托付使者传送以色列的全境，说：“凡不出来跟随扫罗和撒母耳的，也必这样切开他的牛。”于是耶和华使百姓惧怕，他们就都出来，如同一人。 (串)士19:29;20:6|士21:5|士20:1

†[吕]将一对牛切成块子，由使者经手送遍以色列四境，说：“凡不出来跟从扫罗和撒母耳的，也必这样待他的牛。”于是众民都起了惧怕永恒主的心，大家就都出来、如同一人。

†[思]立即牵了一对牛来，剖分成块，托使者分送到以色列全境说：“凡不随从撒乌耳如撒慕尔出征的，也必这样对待他的牛！”上主的惊吓降在民众身上，因而他们好像一个人一齐出征。

†[当代]他把两头公牛切成碎块，然后打发使者把碎块分发到全以色列去，并且宣布：“谁人拒绝跟随扫罗和撒母耳出战的，他的公牛都要变成这样。”上帝使民众都畏惧扫罗，他们都齐心地来到他的面前。

†[新译]他牵来一对牛，把它们切成碎块，交给使者，送到以色列的全境去，说：“不出来跟从扫罗和撒母耳的，他的牛也必受到这样的对待。”因众民惧怕耶和华，他们就都出来，如同一人。

†[Wlb]取牛一双脔之、遣使遍送于以色列四境、曰、不出而从扫罗撒母耳者、待其牛亦若是、耶和华使民恐惧、乃咸出、如一人焉、

†[Xdv]他牵出两头牛，把牛砍成碎块，命令使者带这些碎块到以色列各地区去，警告人民说：“谁不跟扫罗和塞缪尔去打仗，谁的牛就要被砍成这样！”以色列人害怕上主震怒；所有的人都出来，没有例外。

†[Kjv]And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD

†[Nkjv]So he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, "Whoever does not go out with Saul and Samuel to battle, so it shall be done to his oxen." And the fear of the LORD

†[BBE]And he took two oxen and, cutting them up, sent them through all the land of Israel by the hand of runners, saying, If any man does not come out after Saul and Samuel, this will be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord came on the people and they cam

†[GNT] He took two oxen, cut them in pieces, and had messengers carry the pieces throughout the land of Israel with this warning: "Whoever does not follow Saul and Samuel into battle will have this done to his oxen!" The people of Israel were afraid of what the

†[NIV]He took a pair of oxen, cut them into pieces, and sent the pieces by messengers throughout Israel, proclaiming, "This is what will be done to the oxen of anyone who does not follow Saul and Samuel." Then the terror of the Lord fell on the people, and they

本会注释　　一对牛。可能是他用来耕作的那对牛。上帝用来显明祂能力的工具是如何的近在眼前啊！摩西并不需要埃及的马兵战车。他牧羊的杖变成了“上帝的杖”。基甸并不需要非利士人以为必须有的铁枪。几个瓦罐和蜡烛倒是更好。扫罗并没有要求特别的装备。他藉着牺牲自己的牛，使以色列人相信他愿意为耶和华出钱又出力。他的活力和智慧是有感染力的。“于是耶和华使百姓惧怕。”扫罗再一次证明：只要被圣灵控制，他就会蒙指导在正确的时间做正确的事。自我被完全忘却了。过去一个多月里笼罩在他心头的“匪徒”们的批评，现在已经显得无足轻重了。在这种对扫罗来说是奇异的新能力之下，他感到自己勇气大增。他有成功的把握，毫不犹豫地站在撒母耳旁边，给危难中的城镇带来保护。

撒上11:8 扫罗在比色数点他们：以色列人有三十万，犹大人有三万。 (串)士1:5

†[吕]扫罗在比色点阅他们；以色列人有三十万，犹大人有三万。

†[思]撒乌耳在贝则克检阅了他们；以色列人共叁十万，犹大人叁万。

†[当代]扫罗在比色数点人数，发觉共有三十万以色列人；此外由犹大来的有三万人。

†[新译]扫罗在比色数点他们。以色列人共有三十万，犹大人有三万。

†[Wlb]扫罗在比色核其数、以色列人三十万、犹大人三万、

†[Xdv]扫罗召他们在比色集合。有三十万人从以色列来，三万人从犹大来。

†[Kjv]And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

†[Nkjv]When he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

†[BBE]And he had them numbered in Bezek: the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

†[GNT] Saul gathered them at Bezek: there were 300,000 from Israel and 30,000 from Judah.

†[NIV]When Saul mustered them at Bezek, the men of Israel numbered three hundred thousand and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

本会注释　　比色。各支派部队的会合地，位于示剑到伯珊的大路东北20.4公里，基列雅比西南约16公里处。北方众支派行军到这里不会太远，但它在耶路撒冷以北67.6公里处；因而要犹大支派的许多人在所定的时间里到那儿集合是不可能的。军队从高于海平面305米,的比色下来，经Wadi el-Khashneh到约低于海平面274米的约旦该处。他们徒步涉过那条河，行进到东面约1.6公里处的城镇。这次集结军兵可能在六天之内完成。扫罗从比色连夜行军，第七天一早就可以抵达雅比。在第六天早上，扫罗已经有足够的军队到场，可以向雅比的长老们保证及时的帮助的。

撒上11:9 众人对那使者说：“你们要回复基列雅比人说，明日太阳近午的时候，你们必得解救。”使者回去告诉雅比人，他们就欢喜了。 (串)本章13

†[吕]他（传统：他们）对来的使者说：“你们要这样对基列雅比人说：‘明天太阳正热的时候、你们必得拯救。’”使者们去告诉雅比人，雅比人都很欢喜。

†[思]撒乌耳对来的使者说：“你们这样对基肋阿得的雅贝士人说：明天太阳正热时，救援就必达到你们那。”使者便回去，向雅贝士人报告，他们都很喜欢。

†[当代]于是，扫罗就打发雅比的使者返基列雅比去宣布：“我们会在明天中午前来拯救你们！”喜讯传到基列雅比，他们非常雀跃。

†[新译]扫罗对前来的使者说：“你们要这样对基列雅比人说：‘明天中午，你们必得拯救。’”使者回去告诉基列雅比人，他们就欢喜了。

†[Wlb]遂语使者曰、告基列雅比人云、明日亭午、尔必得援、使者反告、雅比人悦、

†[Xdv]他们对雅比来的使者说：“去告诉你们雅比人，明天中午以前，他们会获得救援。”雅比居民听到这消息非常高兴，

†[Kjv]And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

†[Nkjv]And they said to the messengers who came, "Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: "Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have help."' Then the messengers came and reported it to the men of Jabesh, and they were glad.

†[BBE]Then he said to the representatives who had come, Say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is high, you will be made safe. And the representatives came and gave the news to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

†[GNT] They said to the messengers from Jabesh, "Tell your people that before noon tomorrow they will be rescued." When the people of Jabesh received the message, they were overjoyed

†[NIV]They told the messengers who had come, "Say to the men of Jabesh Gilead, 'By the time the sun is hot tomorrow, you will be delivered.' " When the messengers went and reported this to the men of Jabesh, they were elated.

撒上11:10 于是雅比人对亚扪人说：“明日我们出来归顺你们，你们可以随意待我们。”

†[吕]于是雅比人对拿辖说：“明天我们出来归顺你们；你们看怎么好、就怎么待我们吧。”

†[思]雅贝士人遂对阿孟人说：“明天我们向你们投降，你们看着怎样好，就怎样对待我们罢！

†[当代]雅比人便去告诉亚扪人说：“我们投降了，明天我们会出来向你们归顺，你们喜欢怎样做都可以。”

†[新译]雅比人对亚扪人说：“明天我们出来向你们投降，你们看怎么好，就怎么待我们吧。”

†[Wlb]谓拿辖曰、明日我将出降、可从所欲以待我、

†[Xdv]对拿辖说：“明天我们投降，你可以随你的意思待我们。”

†[Kjv]Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.

†[Nkjv]Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do with us whatever seems good to you."

†[BBE]So the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.

†[GNT] and said to Nahash, "Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do with us whatever you wish."

†[NIV]They said to the Ammonites, "Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and you can do to us whatever seems good to you."

撒上11:11 第二日，扫罗将百姓分为三队，在晨更的时候入了亚扪人的营，击杀他们直到太阳近午，剩下的人都逃散，没有二人同在一处的。 (串)士7:16伯1:17

†[吕]第二天扫罗把人民分为三队，在晨更时候进了亚扪人营中，击败他们直到太阳正热的时候；剩下的人都溃散，没有剩下二人同在一处的。

†[思]第二天撒乌耳把民众分作叁队，在黎明以前冲入了阿孟人营中，击杀他们一直到日中最热的时候；剩下的人都逃散了，以至没有两人在一起。

†[当代]第二天清早扫罗便带同大军来了，他把民众分成三队向亚扪人进行突袭。他们整个上午都在屠杀，亚扪人的残兵四处逃窜，整个地方都看不到有两个亚扪人能同在一起的。

†[新译]第二天，扫罗把众人分成三队。在晨更的时候，他们进了亚扪人的营中，击杀他们，直到中午；残余的人都星散了，他们中间没有两个人留在一起的。

†[Wlb]翌日、扫罗分民为三队、晨更时、入亚扪营击之、迨及亭午、存者四散、无二人在一处者、

†[Xdv]第二天早上，扫罗把他的军队分成三队；天一亮，他们就冲进敌人的营帐，攻击亚扪人。到中午的时候，他们杀了许多亚扪人；还活着的残兵都四散，各自逃命了。

†[Kjv]And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so tha

†[BBE]Now on the day after, Saul put the people into three bands, and in the morning watch they came to the tents of the Ammonites, and they went on attacking them till the heat of the day: and those who were not put to death were put to flight in every directi

†[GNT] That night Saul divided his men into three groups, and at dawn the next day they rushed into the enemy camp and attacked the Ammonites. By noon they had slaughtered them. The survivors scattered, each man running off by himself.

†[NIV]The next day Saul separated his men into three divisions; during the last watch of the night they broke into the camp of the Ammonites and slaughtered them until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left toge

本会注释　　在晨更的时候。在古希伯来人中，夜间被分为三个更次。第一个更次在哀2:19中提到。基甸和他的军队是在中间的更次开始时进入米甸人的营里（士7:19）。摩西伸出他的杖，红海就回流，淹没了追赶他们的埃及全军是在第三个更次，或“晨更”的时候（出14:24-27）。这时扫罗和他的三队军兵已经整夜行军，在晨更的时候——恰在天亮之前——出其不意地来到亚扪人的营中，战斗一直持续到中午。这场大败是彻底的——敌军没有二人同在一处的。
　　上帝许多天意的拯救都是在这个时刻临到的。当大卫歌唱“一宿虽然有哭泣，早晨便必欢呼”（诗30:5）时，想到的可能就是红海的拯救。在守望者回答“早晨将到，黑夜也来”（赛21:12）的话语中，早晨给雅比的长老们带来喜乐，而夜晚却给拿辖和他的跟从者们带来厄运。他计划给予这座被困城市居民的厄运双倍地落到了他自己的头上。
　　雅各的对手说“天黎明了，容我去吧”是在晨更的时候（创32:26）。新一天的黎明带来了安慰和保证。耶稣来到在加利利海的风暴中飘摇的船上并安抚门徒们因怀疑祂的弥赛亚身份而烦乱的心，是在晨更的时候（第四更是按罗马时间计算的）（见@太14:25@注释）。上天差谴大能的天使以闪电般的速度来到耶路撒冷城门外的坟墓，击倒守卫兵并呼喊说：“上帝的儿子，出来吧；你的父召唤你”时，也是在晨更的时候（《历代愿望》779,780页）！
　　扫罗并没有停下来问雅比的长老们为什么没有在立王时到撒母耳那里。他并没有询问他们的过去，无论它可能怎样。他们在急难中，而圣灵控制了扫罗，给他们带来帮助。上帝对一个人认错后的态度的兴趣远过于错误本身。雅比人后来的行为证明他们经历了真正的心灵改变（代上10:11,12）。

撒上11:12 百姓对撒母耳说：“那说‘扫罗岂能管理我们’的是谁呢？可以将他交出来，我们好杀死他。” (串)路19:27

†[吕]人民对撒母耳说：“那说‘扫罗哪能作王管理我们？’的是谁？将这些人交出来，我们好处死他们。”

†[思]民众于是对撒慕尔说：“谁曾说过：撒乌耳岂能作我们的君王？把这些人交出来，让我们处死他们！”

†[当代]民众就来对撒母耳说：“是哪一个说扫罗不该作王的？把他带来，我们要杀掉他。”

†[新译]众民对撒母耳说：“那说‘扫罗怎能作我们的王’的是谁呢？把那些人交出来，我们好杀死他们。”

†[Wlb]民谓撒母耳曰、言扫罗焉能治我者谁乎、当携之至、我致之死、

†[Xdv]以色列人对塞缪尔说：“谁说扫罗不该作我们的王？把那些人交出来，我们要杀掉他们！”

†[Kjv]And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.

†[Nkjv]Then the people said to Samuel, "Who is he who said, "Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, that we may put them to death."

†[BBE]And the people said to Samuel, Who was it who said, Is Saul to be our king? give the men up, so that we may put them to death.

†[GNT] Then the people of Israel said to Samuel, "Where are the people who said that Saul should not be our king? Hand them over to us, and we will kill them!"

†[NIV]The people then said to Samuel, "Who was it that asked, 'Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring these men to us and we will put them to death."

本会注释　　对撒母耳说。本节和扫罗在第7节的话表明这位先知至少和扫罗一起去了比色,并协助计划了这次战役。可能各支军对在解散前返回到了比色，为自己的胜利而兴高采烈，准备惩罚那些曾反对扫罗受膏为王的人。在过去的几天中他表现的将才对他们来说比掣签拣选（撒上10:19-21）或撒母耳膏立（撒上10:1）更是对他的头衔的确认。

撒上11:13 扫罗说：“今日耶和华在以色列中施行拯救，所以不可杀人。” (串)出14:13本章9|撒下19:22

†[吕]扫罗说：“今天一个人也不可被处死，因为今天永恒主在以色列中施行了拯救。

†[思]撒乌耳回答说：“今天不可处死任何人，因为今天上主在以色列中施行了救恩。”

†[当代]但扫罗说：“今天我不打算杀人，因为主在今天救了以色列。”

†[新译]扫罗说：“今天不可以杀人，因为今天是耶和华在以色列中施行拯救的日子。”

†[Wlb]扫罗曰、今日耶和华于以色列中施行拯救、一人亦不可杀、

†[Xdv]但扫罗说：“今天不能处死人，因为今天上主救了以色列。”

†[Kjv]And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.

†[Nkjv]But Saul said, "Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today the LORD has accomplished salvation in Israel."

†[BBE]And Saul said, Not a man is to be put to death today: for today the Lord has made Israel safe.

†[GNT] But Saul said, "No one will be put to death today, for this is the day the Lord rescued Israel."

†[NIV]But Saul said, "No one shall be put to death today, for this day the Lord has rescued Israel."

本会注释　　扫罗说。没有等撒母耳回答，扫罗就说这场胜利是耶和华的，谁也不该被杀，由此证明他已经变了一个人。如果由于近来事态的发展，仇敌可以被改变为朋友，那就比处死他益处大多了。现在通过扫罗讲话的与在登山宝训时藉着基督讲话的是同一个灵。祂说：“要爱你们的仇敌，咒诅你们的，要为他祝福；恨你们的，要待他好；为那凌辱你们、逼迫你们的祷告”（太5:44）。

撒上11:14 撒母耳对百姓说：“我们要往吉甲去，在那里立国。” (串)撒上10:8;13:4

†[吕]撒母耳对人民说：“来吧，我们往吉甲去，在那里更新君王国事。”

†[思]撒慕尔以后对民众说：“来，我们到基耳加耳去，在那重新建立王国。”

†[当代]撒母耳吩咐民众说：“来吧，我们到吉甲去，在那里立国。”

†[新译]撒母耳对众民说：“来吧，我们往吉甲去，好在那里重新建立王国。”

†[Wlb]撒母耳谓民曰、我侪其往吉甲、在彼复建其国、

†[Xdv]塞缪尔对他们说：“我们都到吉甲去，在那里重新立扫罗为我们的王。”

†[Kjv]Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.

†[Nkjv]Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there."

†[BBE]Then Samuel said to the people, Come, let us go to Gilgal and there make the kingdom strong in the hands of Saul.

†[GNT] And Samuel said to them, "Let us all go to Gilgal and once more proclaim Saul as our king."

†[NIV]Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, let us go to Gilgal and there reaffirm the kingship."

撒上11:15 众百姓就到了吉甲那里，在耶和华面前立扫罗为王，又在耶和华面前献平安祭。扫罗和以色列众人大大欢喜。 (串)士11:11撒上15:33|撒上10:8

†[吕]众民就都到吉甲去，便在吉甲那里、永恒主面前设立了扫罗为王；也在那里在永恒主面前献平安祭；在那里扫罗和以色列众人都非常欢喜。

†[思]民众便都去了基耳加耳，在那于上主面前立撒乌耳为王，并给上主奉献了和平祭；撒乌耳同全体以色列人举行了盛大的盛会。

†[当代]于是，他们来到吉甲，在主面前举行庄严的仪式，立扫罗为王，又向主献上平安祭。扫罗和以色列人都感到非常快乐。

†[新译]众民就都到吉甲去，在那里在耶和华面前立扫罗为王，又在那里在耶和华面前献平安祭。扫罗和以色列众民都在那里，非常欢喜。

†[Wlb]众民遂往吉甲、于耶和华前、立扫罗为王、献酬恩祭于耶和华、扫罗与以色列众、欣喜不胜、

†[Xdv]于是他们都到吉甲，在上主面前立扫罗为王，并且献上平安祭。扫罗和所有的以色列人一起庆祝这件大事。

†[Kjv]And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

†[Nkjv]So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they made sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

†[BBE]So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.

†[GNT] So they all went to Gilgal, and there at the holy place they proclaimed Saul king. They offered fellowship sacrifices, and Saul and all the people of Israel celebrated the event.

†[NIV]So all the people went to Gilgal and confirmed Saul as king in the presence of the Lord . There they sacrificed fellowship offerings before the Lord , and Saul and all the Israelites held a great celebration.

本会注释　　吉甲。地点尚未确定。现代的传统认为是在《旧约》的耶利哥东南4.8公里的en-Nitla，但更可能是在东北2公处的Khirbet el-Mefjer。根据书15:7，它位于亚割谷以北，所以在属于便雅悯的领土内。在攻占巴勒斯坦的六年战争期间，它是以色列的总部，但是征服了示罗以后，会幕就搬到那里去了（书18:1）。不过吉甲仍被认为是一个非常神圣的地方。撒母耳在他的年巡中访问过它（撒上7:16）。它曾是一个专门用于献祭的地方（撒上13:8；15:21等）。但后来可能成为偶像崇拜的地方（见本卷注释第850页）。
　　撒母耳号召以色列人到吉甲重建王国；这里充满上帝神奇作为的记忆。他无疑在这里向他们重述了过去数百年中天父的慈爱眷顾和恒久忍耐。要是他们满足于上帝起初的施政计划，那就会好的多了。但由于他们渴望一个王，所以上帝就应许将祂的灵赐给这位新王，就象祂曾赐给士师们一样。虽然他们拒绝了祂，他们还是有上帝会依然与他们同在的丰富见证。通过建立以世袭制为基础的继位体系，以色列向许多他们在士师制下从未遇到的问题与危险打开了大门。但是通过撒母耳，上帝确认了祂永远的爱与忠诚，并应许用他们所享受过的与过去数百年同样热切的保护环绕他们。
