第九篇 以色列人没有王,各人行自己眼中看为正的事
第九周 周一
纲目
1壹 以色列堕落,在行政、敬拜和道德上变得混乱—士三7~15八33~35十三1十七5~6十八30~31
1Ⅰ In their degradation Israel became chaotic in government, worship, and morality—Judg. 3:7-15; 8:33-35; 13:1; 17:5-6; 18:30-31:
2一 以色列人取得迦南地为业之后,没有听从神的命令,赶出灭尽所有住在迦南地的七族—一27~36
2A After the children of Israel possessed the land as their inheritance, they did not obey God’s command to utterly drive out and destroy the seven tribes inhabiting Canaan—1:27-36.
3二 结果以色列人事奉他们的神,因而行主眼中看为恶的事—二10~18
3B As a result, the children of Israel served their gods, thus doing evil in the sight of the Lord—2:10-18.
4三 以色列人离弃了领他们出埃及地的耶和华他们列祖的神,去随从跪拜四围之民的一些神,惹耶和华发怒—十6~7
4C The children of Israel forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they followed the gods of the people that were around them; they bowed themselves down to them and provoked Jehovah to anger—10:6-7.
5四 神就把他们交在抢夺他们的人手中,又将他们交付在仇敌的手中,甚至他们再不能站立得住;他们无论何时出去,主的手都以灾祸攻击他们—二11~15
5D God delivered them into the hands of spoilers, and He sold them into the hands of their enemies so that they could no longer stand; whenever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil—2:11-15.
6五 士师时期可以说是以色列历史中最黑暗的一段,也是一段惨痛的时期。
6E The age of the judges may be considered the darkest period in the history of Israel; it was also a period of tragedy.
7六 在那段时间,在以色列人中满了背叛神、拜偶像(十七~十八)、内战(九)、支派间的对立和争执(二十~二一)、淫乱(十九)、污秽、残酷的杀戮、以及种种恶行。
7F At that time, among the children of Israel there were rebellions against God, idolatry (chs. 17—18), infighting (ch. 9), hostility and controversy among the tribes (chs. 20—21), fornication (ch. 19), filthiness, brutal killings, and all manner of evil doing.
8贰 “那些日子,以色列中没有王,各人行自己眼中看为正的事”—二一25
8Ⅱ “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes”—21:25:
9一 以色列民说他们中间没有王,这就是说,他们废掉了神和祂的身份,不承认神的君王身份—十七6十八1十九1
9A When the people of Israel said that there was no king among them, this meant that they had annulled God and His status and did not recognize God’s kingship—17:6; 18:1; 19:1.
10二 虽然神的帐幕在示罗,大祭司有乌陵和土明,但在以色列中没有行政,没有管理,因为以色列废掉了神和祂作他们王的身份;因此,在士师记里没有神的彰显—十八31出二八30注3。
10B Although God’s tabernacle was at Shiloh and the high priest had the Urim and Thummim, there was no government, no administration, in Israel because Israel had annulled God and His status as their King, and thus, there was no expression of God in Judges—18:31; Exo. 28:30, footnote 1.

11士二11~12 以色列人行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,…离弃了…耶和华他们列祖的神,去随从跪拜别神,就是四围众民的一些神,惹耶和华发怒。
11
12二一25 那些日子,以色列中没有王,各人行自己眼中看为正的事。
12
13以色列人进入了美地,但美地上满了仇敌。…然而,神对祂子民的定旨不是仅仅击败仇敌,完全占有美地,乃是要他们建立国度。因着这定旨尚未成就,士师记的结语说,…以色列人行自己眼中看为正的事,因为他们没有君王或国度。
13
14神需要一个国度,使祂可以得着彰显。以色列人被领出埃及,经过旷野,他们在那里为神建造帐幕。然后他们进入美地,每一支派都分得一部分美地。在士师记里,仇敌被击败到某种程度,使以色列人可以享受美地。虽然如此,士师记没有神的彰显,因为士师记中没有王,各人都行自己眼中看为正的事(李文集一九八三年第三册,三七七至三七八页)。

15从以色列人出埃及,一直到申言者撒母耳,就是到大卫作以色列全国的王为止(撒下五3~4),约有四百五十年(徒十三17~20,参士十一26王上六1)。这段时期的大部分,可称为士师时代。在这时代内,以色列人因为不能驱尽、灭尽留在迦南地的七族,必然的结果就是:渐渐离弃神,随从外邦的风俗,与外邦人通婚,又拜别神。所以神照着祂以前多次警告的话,把他们交在外邦人手中。但他们一悔改,神就俯允他们的祷告,借着士师拯救他们。…这样循环重复有七次之多。

16以色列人离弃了领他们出埃及地的耶和华他们列祖的神,去随从跪拜四围之民的一些神,惹耶和华发怒。神就把他们交在抢夺他们的人手中,又将他们交付在仇敌的手中,甚至使他们再不能站立得住。他们无论何时出去,主的手都以灾祸攻击他们(士二11~15)。
16
17就是神兴起士师,来拯救他们脱离抢夺他们之人的手,他们也不肯听从,…偏离他们列祖所行的道路。他们行恶比他们的列祖更甚,而且总不断绝顽梗的恶行(16~19)。
17
18士师时期可以说是以色列历史中最黑暗的一段,因为在以色列人中满了背叛神、拜偶像(十七~十八)、内战(九)、支派间的对立和争执(二十~二一)、淫乱(十九)、污秽、残酷的杀戮、以及种种恶行,并且各人任意而行(十七6二一25)。这也是一段惨痛的时期。以色列人因着不信,以致倒毙旷野,在旷野飘流了四十年之久(来三719)。他们进迦南以后,因离弃神、拜偶像所带来的失败、灾祸,则不只是四十年,甚至是十倍于四十年(真理课程一级卷一,一五一至一五三页)。
