撒母耳记下 10

Studie

   

1 ,亚扪人的王死了,他儿子哈嫩接续他作王。

2 大卫:我要照哈嫩的父亲拿辖厚待我的恩典厚待哈嫩。於是大卫差遣臣仆,为他丧父安慰他。大卫的臣仆到了亚扪人的境内。

3 但亚扪人的首领对他们的哈嫩大卫差人来安慰你,你想他是尊敬父亲麽?他差臣仆来不是详察窥探、要倾覆这城麽?

4 哈嫩便将大卫臣仆的胡须剃去一半,又割断他们下半截的衣服,使他们露出下体,打发他们回去。

5 有人告诉大卫,他就差人去迎接他们,(因为他们甚觉羞耻),告诉他们:可以耶利哥,等到胡须长起再回来

6 亚扪知道大卫憎恶他们,就打发去,招募伯利合的亚兰和琐巴的亚兰,步兵二万,与玛迦王的、陀伯一万二

7 大卫见了,就差派约押统带勇猛的全军出去。

8 亚扪人出来,在城前摆阵;琐巴与利合的亚兰人、陀伯人,并玛迦人,另在郊野摆阵。

9 约押见敌人在他前後摆阵,就从以色列军中挑选精兵,使他们对着亚兰人摆阵。

10 其馀的兵交与他兄弟亚比筛,对着亚扪人摆阵。

11 约押对亚比筛:亚兰人若强过我,你就来帮助我;亚扪人若强过你,我就去帮助你。

12 我们都当刚强,为本国的民和的城邑作大丈夫。愿耶和华凭他的意旨而行!

13 於是,约押和跟随他的人前进攻打亚兰人;亚兰人在约押面前逃跑

14 亚扪人见亚兰人逃跑,他们也在亚比筛面前逃跑进城。约押就离开亚扪人那里,回耶路撒冷去了。

15 亚兰人见自己被以色列人打败,就又聚集

16 哈大底谢差遣人,将大那边的亚兰人调;他们到了希兰,哈大底谢的将军朔法率领他们。

17 有人告诉大卫,他就聚集以色列众人,过约但河,到希兰。亚兰人迎着大卫摆阵,与他打仗。

18 亚兰人在以色列人面前逃跑大卫杀了亚兰辆战车的人,四万马兵,又杀了亚兰的将军朔法。

19 属哈大底谢的诸见自己被以色列人打败,就与以色列人和好,归服他们。於是亚兰人不敢再帮助亚扪人了。

Father

  
Rudolf von Arthaber with his Children, by Friedrich von Amerling

Father in the Word means what is most interior, and in those things that are following the Lord's order, it means what is good. In the highest sense Father means the Lord Himself, the creator. In the generation of natural children it is the father who provides the soul or the most interior receptacle of life, and an internal heredity, and the mother who provides all of the substance that the soul uses to form its body, plus an external heredity. In this process the soul comes from the Lord through the father, and not from the father, since all life is from the Lord. The wise person calls the Lord his father and the church his mother because his interior loves come from the Lord, but are given form and actuality through the truths taught by the church. Those things thus brought forth are a person's spiritual "children". In the New Testament, when speaking of Jesus and the Father, what is meant is the outward manifestation with the divine itself as the soul inside. Because Jesus was born from a natural mother, He had a natural body and a natural Jewish heredity. Throughout his life as He was tempted by the hells, He slowly put off all he had from His mother and replaced it with what He had from Himself inside, the Father. In doing this he made himself one with the Father that was His inmost so He could truly say, "I and my Father are one".
