٢ صموئيل 3

Studie

   

1 وكانت الحرب طويلة بين بيت شاول وبيت داود وكان داود يذهب يتقوى وبيت شاول يذهب يضعف.

2 وولد لداود بنون في حبرون. وكان بكره امنون من اخينوعم اليزرعيلية.

3 وثانيه كيلآب من ابيجايل امرأة نابال الكرملي. والثالث ابشالوم ابن معكة بنت تلماي ملك جشور.

4 والرابع ادونيا ابن حجيث. والخامس شفطيا ابن ابيطال.

5 والسادس يثرعام من عجلة امرأة داود. هؤلاء ولدوا لداود في حبرون

6 وكان في وقوع الحرب بين بيت شاول وبيت داود ان ابنير تشدد لاجل بيت شاول.

7 وكانت لشاول سرية اسمها رصفة بنت أيّة. فقال ايشبوشث لابنير لماذا دخلت الى سرية ابي.

8 فاغتاظ ابنير جدا من كلام ايشبوشث وقال ألعلي راس كلب ليهوذا. أليوم اصنع معروفا مع بيت شاول ابيك مع اخوته ومع اصحابه ولم اسلمك ليد داود وتطالبني اليوم باثم المرأة.

9 هكذا يصنع الله بابنير وهكذا يزيده انه كما حلف الرب لداود كذلك اصنع له

10 لنقل المملكة من بيت شاول واقامة كرسي داود على اسرائيل وعلى يهوذا من دان الى بئر سبع.

11 ولم يقدر بعد ان يجاوب ابنير بكلمة لاجل خوفه منه

12 فارسل ابنير من فوره رسلا الى داود قائلا لمن هي الارض. يقولون اقطع عهدك معي وهوذا يدي معك لرد جميع اسرائيل اليك.

13 فقال حسنا. انا اقطع معك عهدا الا اني اطلب منك أمرا واحدا وهو ان لا ترى وجهي ما لم تأت اولا بميكال بنت شاول حين تأتي لترى وجهي.

14 وارسل داود رسلا الى ايشبوشث بن شاول يقول اعطني امرأتي ميكال التي خطبتها لنفسي بمئة غلفة من الفلسطينيين.

15 فارسل ايشبوشث واخذها من عند رجلها من فلطيئيل بن لايش.

16 وكان رجلها يسير معها ويبكي وراءها الى بحوريم. فقال له ابنير اذهب. ارجع. فرجع

17 وكان كلام ابنير الى شيوخ اسرائيل قائلا قد كنتم منذ امس وما قبله تطلبون داود ليكون ملكا عليكم.

18 فالآن افعلوا. لان الرب كلم داود قائلا اني بيد داود عبدي اخلّص شعبي اسرائيل من يد الفلسطينيين ومن ايدي جميع اعدائهم.

19 وتكلم ابنير ايضا في مسامع بنيامين وذهب ابنير ليتكلم في سماع داود ايضا في حبرون بكل ما حسن في اعين اسرائيل وفي اعين جميع بيت بنيامين.

20 فجاء ابنير الى داود الى حبرون ومعه عشرون رجلا. فصنع داود لابنير وللرجال الذين معه وليمة.

21 وقال ابنير لداود اقوم واذهب واجمع الى سيدي الملك جميع اسرائيل فيقطعون معك عهدا وتملك حسب كل ما تشتهي نفسك. فارسل داود ابنير فذهب بسلام

22 واذا بعبيد داود ويوآب قد جاءوا من الغزو وأتوا بغنيمة كثيرة معهم ولم يكن ابنير مع داود في حبرون لانه كان قد ارسله فذهب بسلام.

23 وجاء يوآب وكل الجيش الذي معه فاخبروا يوآب قائلين قد جاء ابنير بن نير الى الملك فارسله فذهب بسلام.

24 فدخل يوآب الى الملك وقال ماذا فعلت. هوذا قد جاء ابنير اليك. لماذا ارسلته فذهب.

25 انت تعلم ابنير بن نير انه انما جاء ليملقك وليعلم خروجك ودخولك وليعلم كل ما تصنع.

26 ثم خرج يوآب من عند داود وارسل رسلا وراء ابنير فردّوه من بئر السيرة وداود لا يعلم.

27 ولما رجع ابنير الى حبرون مال به يوآب الى وسط الباب ليكلمه سرّا وضربه هناك في بطنه فمات بدم عسائيل اخيه.

28 فسمع داود بعد ذلك فقال اني بريء انا ومملكتي لدى الرب الى الابد من دم ابنير بن نير.

29 فليحل على راس يوآب وعلى كل بيت ابيه ولا ينقطع من بيت يوآب ذو سيل وابرص وعاكز على العكازة وساقط بالسيف ومحتاج الخبز.

30 فقتل يوآب وابيشاي اخوه ابنير لانه قتل عسائيل اخاهما في جبعون في الحرب

31 فقال داود ليوآب ولجميع الشعب الذين معه مزقوا ثيابكم وتنطّقوا بالمسوح والطموا امام ابنير. وكان داود الملك يمشي وراء النعش.

32 ودفنوا ابنير في حبرون. ورفع الملك صوته وبكى على قبر ابنير وبكى جميع الشعب.

33 ورثا الملك ابنير وقال هل كموت احمق يموت ابنير.

34 يداك لم تكونا مربوطتين ورجلاك لم توضعا في سلاسل نحاس. كالسقوط امام بني الاثم سقطت. وعاد جميع الشعب يبكون عليه.

35 وجاء جميع الشعب ليطعموا داود خبزا وكان بعد نهار فحلف داود قائلا هكذا يفعل لي الله وهكذا يزيد ان كنت اذوق خبزا او شيئا آخر قبل غروب الشمس.

36 فعرف جميع الشعب وحسن في اعينهم كما ان كل ما صنع الملك كان حسنا في اعين جميع الشعب.

37 وعلم كل الشعب وجميع اسرائيل في ذلك اليوم انه لم يكن من الملك قتل ابنير بن نير.

38 وقال الملك لعبيده ألا تعلمون ان رئيسا وعظيما سقط اليوم في اسرائيل.

39 وانا اليوم ضعيف وممسوح ملكا وهؤلاء الرجال بنو صروية اقوى مني. يجازي الرب فاعل الشرّ كشرّه

9014. 'You shall take him from My altar to die' means damnation even though he flees to worship the Lord, pleads for forgiveness, and promises to repent. This is clear from the meaning of Jehovah's altar' as the chief representative of worship of the Lord, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4541, 8935, 8940, and since the altar was representative of worship 'fleeing to the altar' means going to the Lord, pleading for forgiveness, and also promising to repent, for one action follows the other; and from the meaning of 'dying' as damnation, dealt with in 5407, 6119, 9008.

[2] The implications of all this may be recognized from what has been shown in paragraph 9013 above, to the effect that guile in spiritual things, that is, hypocrisy, is not able to be forgiven. The reason why is that guile is like poison that penetrates right through to the inward parts; it kills all of the faith and charity there, and destroys remnants, which are the truths and forms of the good of faith and charity stored away by the Lord in a person inwardly. And when these have been destroyed no spiritual life at all survives any longer. Regarding remnants, see 468, 530, 560-563, 660, 661, 798, 1050, 1738, 1906, 2284, 5135, 5342, 5344, 5897, 5898, 6156, 7560, 7564. Consequently when people full of guile plead with the Lord to be forgiven and promise to repent, meant by 'fleeing to the altar', their pleas and promises do not come at all from the heart but are made only with the lips. Therefore they are not heard, for the Lord looks on the heart, not on words separated and isolated from the heart. So it is that there is no forgiveness for them, because they are not capable of any repentance.

[3] The majority within the Church think that the forgiveness of sins involves wiping and washing them away, like the removal of dirt by water, and that after forgiveness people go about clean and pure. This idea reigns especially with those who attribute all of salvation to faith alone. But let it be known that the situation with the forgiveness of sins is altogether different from that being Mercy itself, the Lord forgives everyone their sins. Nevertheless they do not come to be forgiven unless the person sincerely repents, refrains from evils, and after that leads a life of faith and charity, doing so to the end of his life. When this happens the person receives spiritual life from the Lord, called new life. Then when with this new life he looks at the evils of his former life, turns away from them, and abhors them, his evils have for the first time been forgiven. For the person is now maintained in truths and forms of good by the Lord and held back from evils. This shows what the forgiveness of sins is, and that it cannot take place within an hour, nor within a year. The Church knows this to be so, for it says to those who attend the Holy Supper that their sins are forgiven if they begin a new life by refraining from evils and abhorring them.

[4] All this now shows what the situation is with hypocrites who through guile are inwardly eaten up by evils - they are incapable of repenting. For the actual remnants of goodness and truth present with them have been destroyed and lost, and everything of spiritual life with them. And being incapable of repenting they cannot be forgiven. This is meant by the law that those who kill their neighbour with guile must be taken from the altar to die.

[5] Their damnation was described by the following prophetic utterance made by David regarding Joab, who had killed Abner with guile,

There will always be in the house of Joab 1 one who suffers from a discharge, or is a leper, or supports himself with a rod, or falls by the sword, or lacks bread. 2 Samuel 3:27, 29.

'One suffering from a discharge' means profanation of the good of love; 'a leper' means profanation of the truth of faith, 6963; 'one supporting himself with a rod', or a person who is lame, means those with whom all good has been lost, 4302, 4314; 'one falling by the sword' means those constantly dying through falsities, 4499, 6353, 7102, 8294; and 'one lacking bread' means those deprived of all spiritual life, for 'bread' is the sustainment of spiritual life by means of good, 6118, 8410. Because such people were meant by 'Joab' he was killed by the command of Solomon at the altar to which he had fled, 1 Kings 2:28-32.

Exodus 21

Studie

   

1 "Now these are the ordinances which you shall set before them.

2 "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years and in the seventh he shall go out free without paying anything.

3 If he comes in by himself, he shall go out by himself. If he is married, then his wife shall go out with him.

4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.

5 But if the servant shall plainly say, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free;'

6 then his master shall bring him to God, and shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him for ever.

7 "If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant, she shall not go out as the male servants do.

8 If she doesn't please her master, who has married her to himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt deceitfully with her.

9 If he marries her to his son, he shall deal with her as a daughter.

10 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.

11 If he doesn't do these three things for her, she may go free without paying any money.

12 "One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death,

13 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen: then I will appoint you a place where he shall flee.

14 If a man schemes and comes presumptuously on his neighbor to kill him, you shall take him from my altar, that he may die.

15 "Anyone who attacks his father or his mother shall be surely put to death.

16 "Anyone who kidnaps someone and sells him, or if he is found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

17 "Anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

18 "If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone, or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to bed;

19 if he rises again and walks around with his staff, then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing until he is thoroughly healed.

20 "If a man strikes his servant or his maid with a rod, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be punished.

21 Notwithstanding, if he gets up after a day or two, he shall not be punished, for he is his property.

22 "If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that she gives birth prematurely, and yet no harm follows, he shall be surely fined as much as the woman's husband demands and the judges allow.

23 But if any harm follows, then you must take life for life,

24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 burning for burning, wound for wound, and bruise for bruise.

26 "If a man strikes his servant's eye, or his maid's eye, and destroys it, he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

27 If he strikes out his male servant's tooth, or his female servant's tooth, he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

28 "If a bull gores a man or a woman to death, the bull shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the bull shall not be held responsible.

29 But if the bull had a habit of goring in the past, and it has been testified to its owner, and he has not kept it in, but it has killed a man or a woman, the bull shall be stoned, and its owner shall also be put to death.

30 If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is laid on him.

31 Whether it has gored a son or has gored a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.

32 If the bull gores a male servant or a female servant, thirty shekels of silver shall be given to their master, and the ox shall be stoned.

33 "If a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit and doesn't cover it, and a bull or a donkey falls into it,

34 the owner of the pit shall make it good. He shall give money to its owner, and the dead animal shall be his.

35 "If one man's bull injures another's, so that it dies, then they shall sell the live bull, and divide its price; and they shall also divide the dead animal.

36 Or if it is known that the bull was in the habit of goring in the past, and its owner has not kept it in, he shall surely pay bull for bull, and the dead animal shall be his own.
