2 Samuel 5

Студија

   

1 Y vinieron todas las tribus de Israel a David en Hebrón, y hablaron, diciendo: He aquí nosotros somos tus huesos y tú carne.

2 Y aun ayer y anteayer, cuando Saúl reinaba sobre nosotros, tú sacabas y volvías a Israel. Además el SEÑOR te ha dicho: Tú apacentarás a mi pueblo Israel, y tú serás sobre Israel príncipe.

3 Vinieron, pues, todos los ancianos de Israel al rey en Hebrón, y el rey David hizo con ellos alianza en Hebrón delante del SEÑOR; y ungieron a David por rey sobre Israel.

4 Era David de treinta años cuando comenzó a reinar, y reinó cuarenta años.

5 En Hebrón reinó sobre Judá siete años y seis meses; y en Jerusalén reinó treinta y tres años sobre todo Israel y Judá.

6 Entonces el rey y los suyos fueron a Jerusalén al jebuseo que habitaba en la tierra; el cual habló a David, diciendo: Tú no entrarás acá, si no echares los ciegos y los cojos; pensando: No entrará acá David.

7 Pero David tomó la fortaleza de Sion, la cual es la ciudad de David.

8 Y dijo David aquel día: ¿Quién llegará hasta los canales, y herirá al jebuseo, y a los cojos y ciegos, a los cuales el alma de David aborrece? Por esto se dijo: Ciego ni cojo no entrará en casa.

9 Y David moró en la fortaleza y le puso por nombre la Ciudad de David; y edificó alrededor, desde Millo para adentro.

10 Y David iba creciendo y aumentándose, y el SEÑOR Dios de los ejércitos era con él.

11 E Hiram rey de Tiro envió también embajadores a David, y madera de cedro, y carpinteros, y canteros para los muros, los cuales edificaron la casa de David.

12 Y entendió David que el SEÑOR le había confirmado por rey sobre Israel, y que había ensalzado su reino por amor de su pueblo Israel.

13 Y tomó David más concubinas y mujeres de Jerusalén después que vino de Hebrón, y le nacieron más hijos e hijas.

14 Estos son los nombres de los que le nacieron en Jerusalén: Samúa, y Sobab, y Natán, y Salomón,

15 e Ibhar, y Elisúa, y Nefeg,

16 y Jafía, y Elisama, y Eliada, y Elifelet.

17 Y oyendo los filisteos que habían ungido a David por rey sobre Israel, todos los filisteos subieron a buscar a David; lo cual cuando David lo oyó, vino a la fortaleza.

18 Y vinieron los filisteos, y se extendieron por el valle de Rafaim (de los gigantes ).

19 Entonces consultó David al SEÑOR, diciendo: ¿Iré contra los filisteos? ¿Los entregarás en mis manos? Y el SEÑOR respondió a David: Ve, porque ciertamente entregaré los filisteos en tus manos.

20 Y vino David a Baal-perazim, y allí los venció David, y dijo: Rompió el SEÑOR mis enemigos delante de mí, como quien rompe aguas. Y por esto llamó el nombre de aquel lugar Baal-perazim (el llano de las divisiones o de las roturas ).

21 Y dejaron allí sus ídolos, los cuales quemó David y los suyos.

22 Y los filisteos volvieron a venir, y se extendieron en el valle de Rafaim.

23 Y consultando David al SEÑOR, él le respondió: No subas; sino rodéalos, y vendrás a ellos por delante de los morales;

24 y cuando oyeres un estruendo que irá por las copas de los morales, entonces te moverás; porque el SEÑOR saldrá delante de ti a herir el campamento de los filisteos.

25 Y David lo hizo así, como el SEÑOR se lo había mandado; e hirió a los filisteos desde Gabaa hasta llegar a Gaza.

6983. 'Neither since yesterday, nor since the day before' means that he has lacked it - the gift of speech - from eternity. This is clear from the meaning of 'since yesterday and since the day before' as from eternity. The reason why 'since yesterday and since the day before' means from eternity is that a period of time is meant by these words, in particular past time; but time spoken of in connection with the Lord or the Divine does not mean a period of time but what is eternal. There are two things proper to the natural order which have no existence in heaven, and even less in the Divine, namely space and time. For their non-existence in heaven and the existence of states instead - states of being instead of 'space', and states of coming-into-being or manifestation instead of 'time' - see 2625, 3938; and for the fact that areas of space and periods of time in heaven are states, 1274, 1382, 2625, 2788, 2837, 3254, 3356, 3387, 3404, 3827, 4321, 4814, 4882, 4901, 4916, 5605, 6110. But within the Divine which is above the heavens the absence of space and time is even more complete; for not even states exist within Him. Instead of space there is what is infinite, and instead of time what is eternal. These two are what periods of time or areas of space in the world correspond to, and are what states of being and of coming-into-being in the heavens correspond to.

[2] The fact that in the Word 'yesterday' and 'the day before' do not mean yesterday and the day before but past time in general is clear from places where those words are used, as in Joshua,

The waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went as yesterday [and] the day before 1 over all its banks. Joshua 4:18.

In the first Book of Samuel,

It happened, when all who knew Saul from yesterday and the day before 2 saw that, behold, he prophesied with the prophets . . . 1 Samuel 10:11.

In the second Book of Samuel,

The tribes of Israel said to David, Both yesterday and the day before, 3 when Saul was king over us, you were the one bringing Israel out and back. 2 Samuel 5:1-2.

In these places and elsewhere 'yesterday [and] the day before' stands for previously or past time. Now since 'yesterday and the day before' means time past, and the subject in the highest sense is the Lord, who in respect of the Divine Law or Divine Truth is represented by 'Moses', it is evident that 'since yesterday and since the day before' means from eternity. Eternity, meant by 'yesterday', is described in David as follows,

A thousand years in Your eyes are but as yesterday when it is past. Psalms 90:4.

Фусноте:

1. literally, as yesterday three days ago

2. literally, from yesterday and three days ago

3. literally, Both yesterday and three days ago

3404. 'Isaac sowed in that land' means interior truths from the Lord as they appear to the rational. This is clear from the meaning of 'sowing' in the highest sense as Divine Truth from the Lord who is the Sower, 3038, and in the internal sense as the truth and good residing with a person, which stem from that Divine Truth, 3373; and from the meaning of 'land' as rational concepts which, when enlightened from the Divine, are appearances of truth, 3368, or what amounts to the same, are interior truths from the Lord as they appear to the rational. These appearances or truths belong on a higher degree, for as far as verse 14 it is these that are the subject in the internal sense. These appearances of truth are the kind that exist with angels, and are such as go immeasurably above anyone's understanding as long as he lives in the world.

[2] To make it clearer still what appearances of truth are, let the following example be added: It is well known that the Divine is infinite as regards Being (Esse) and eternal as regards Manifestation (Existere), and that what is finite is incapable of comprehending what is infinite, or indeed of comprehending what is eternal, since what is eternal is the Manifestation (Existere) of what is infinite. And because the Divine itself is infinite and eternal, so are all things which proceed from the Divine infinite and also eternal. And as those things are infinite angels are quite incapable of grasping them, for they too are finite beings. That being so, things that are infinite and eternal present themselves to angels within appearances that are finite, though within appearances such as are very far above the range of what man can comprehend. For example, man is quite incapable of possessing any idea of what is eternal except from what is temporal. And being incapable of having any idea other than this he is incapable of comprehending what 'from eternity' is and so what the Divine prior to the existence of time or creation of the world is. And as long as his thinking contains any idea at all that is formed from what is temporal, he slips inevitably, if he thinks about what is eternal, into errors from which he cannot be rescued. But the angels, whose ideas are not formed from anything temporal but from timeless state, are enabled to perceive it supremely well, for to them eternity is not eternity of time but eternity of state devoid of any idea of that which is temporal.

[3] From this one may see what the appearances existing with angels are like compared with man's, and how superior their appearances are to man's. For man cannot have one shred of thought, not even the least shred, that is not in some way temporal and spatial in origin, whereas angels' thought has no such origin at all. Instead their thought has its origin in timeless state, in which the being (esse) and the manifestation (existere) of things is the only consideration. These few comments show the nature of the appearances of truth which are the subject in these verses, and that these appearances belong to a higher degree. The verses that follow deal in order with the appearances of truth that belong to a lower degree which are also suitable to the human race.
