撒母耳記上 27

Studie

   

1 大衛:必有日我死在掃羅裡,不如逃奔非利士去。掃羅見我不在以色列的境內,就必絕望,不再尋索我;這樣我可以脫離他的

2 於是大衛起身,和跟隨他的投奔迦特王─瑪俄的兒子亞吉去了。

3 大衛和他的兩個妻,就是耶斯列亞希暖和作過拿八妻的迦密亞比該,並跟隨他的,連各的眷屬,在迦特的亞吉那裡。

4 有人告訴掃羅說:大衛逃到迦特。掃羅就不再尋索他了。

5 大衛對亞吉:我若在你眼前蒙恩,求你在京外的城邑中賜我地方居住僕人何必與王同京都呢?

6 當日亞吉將洗革拉賜他,因此洗革拉屬猶大,直到今日。

7 大衛在非利士地了一年零

8 大衛和跟隨他的人上去,侵奪基述人、基色人、亞瑪力人之。這幾族歷住在那,從書珥直到埃及

9 大衛擊殺那,無論女都沒有留下一個,又奪獲牛、駱駝,並衣服回來見亞吉。

10 亞吉:你們今日侵奪了甚麼地方呢?大衛:侵奪了猶大方、耶拉篾的方、基尼的方。

11 無論女,大衛沒有留下一個到迦特來。他:恐怕他們將我們的事告訴大衛在非利士地的時候常常這樣行。

12 亞吉信了大衛,心裡大衛使本族以色列人憎惡他,所以他必永遠作我的僕人了。

1738. 'And he gave him a tenth of everything' means remnants gained from victory. This is clear from the meaning of 'tenths' as remnants, dealt with already in 576. For what remnants are however, see 468, 530, 560, 561, 661, 1050, where it is shown that they are all the states of love and charity, and all the states of innocence and peace, with which a person is endowed. He is endowed with these states from earliest childhood, though that endowment gradually diminishes as he advances into adult life. But while a person is being regenerated he receives, in addition to those he has already, new remnants, and thus new life; for it is from, or by means of, remnants that a person is enabled to be human. In fact, if devoid of the state of love and charity, and if devoid of the state of innocence - states that instill themselves into all the other states of his life-a person is no longer human, but worse than any wild animal. It is remnants acquired during the conflicts brought about by temptations that are meant in the present verse. These remnants are what the tenths given to Melchizedek by Abram mean. They are also all the celestial things of love which the Lord gathered to Himself through the constant conflicts and victories by means of which He was constantly being united to the Divine Essence until the point was reached when His Human Essence as well had become Love, or the Being (Esse) of life, that is, Jehovah.
