2 Samuel 5

Дослідження

   

1 Und es kamen alle Stämme Israels zu David gen Hebron und sprachen: Siehe, wir sind deines Gebeins und deines Fleisches.

2 Dazu auch vorhin, da Saul über uns König war, führtest du Israel aus und ein. So hat der HERR dir gesagt: Du sollst meines Volks Israel hüten und sollst ein Herzog sein über Israel.

3 Und es kamen alle Ältesten in Israel zum Könige gen Hebron. Und der König David machte mit ihnen einen Bund zu Hebron vor dem HERRN; und sie salbeten David zum Könige über Israel.

4 Dreißig Jahre war David alt, da er König ward, und regierete vierzig Jahre.

5 Zu Hebron regierete er sieben Jahre und sechs Monden über Juda; aber zu Jerusalem regierete er dreiunddreißig Jahre über ganz Israel und Juda.

6 Und der König zog hin mit seinen Männern zu Jerusalem wider die Jebusiter, die im Lande wohneten. Sie aber sprachen zu David: Du wirst nicht hie hereinkommen, sondern Blinde und Lahme werden dich abtreiben. Das meinten sie aber, daß David nicht würde da hineinkommen.

7 Aber David gewann die Burg Zion, das ist Davids Stadt.

8 Da sprach David desselben Tages: Wer die Jebusiter schlägt und erlanget die Dachrinnen, die Lahmen und Blinden, denen die Seele Davids feind ist. Daher spricht man: Laß keinen Blinden und Lahmen ins Haus kommen.

9 Also wohnete David auf der Burg und hieß sie Davids Stadt. Und David bauete umher von Millo und inwendig.

10 Und David ging und nahm zu, und der HERR, der Gott Zebaoth, war mit ihm.

11 Und Hiram, der König zu Tyrus, sandte Boten zu David und Zedernbäume zur Wand und Zimmerleute und Steinmetzen, daß sie David ein Haus baueten.

12 Und David merkte, daß ihn der HERR zum Könige über Israel bestätiget hatte und sein Königreich erhöhet um seines Volks Israel willen.

13 Und David nahm noch mehr Weiber und Kebsweiber zu Jerusalem, nachdem er von Hebron kommen war; und wurden ihm noch mehr Söhne und Töchter geboren.

14 Und das sind die Namen derer, die ihm zu Jerusalem geboren sind: Sammua, Sobab, Nathan, Salomo,

15 Jebehar, Elisua, Nepheg, Japhia,

16 Elisama, Eliada, Eliphalet.

17 Und da die Philister höreten, daß man David zum Könige über Israel gesalbet hatte, zogen sie alle herauf, David zu suchen. Da das David erfuhr, zog er hinab in eine Burg.

18 Aber die Philister kamen und ließen sich nieder im Grunde Rephaim.

19 Und David fragte den HERRN und sprach: Soll ich hinaufziehen wider die Philister, und willst du sie in meine Hand geben? Der HERR sprach zu David: Zeuch hinauf, ich will die Philister in deine Hände geben.

20 Und David kam gen Baal-Prazim und schlug sie daselbst und sprach: Der HERR hat meine Feinde vor mir voneinander gerissen, wie die Wasser reißen. Daher hieß man denselben Ort Baal-Prazim.

21 Und sie ließen ihren Götzen daselbst. David aber und seine Männer huben sie auf.

22 Die Philister aber zogen abermal herauf und ließen sich nieder im Grunde Rephaim.

23 Und David fragte den HERRN; der sprach: Du sollst nicht hinaufziehen, sondern komm von hinten zu ihnen, daß du an sie kommest gegen den Maulbeerbäumen.

24 Und wenn du hören wirst das Rauschen auf den Wipfeln der Maulbeerbäume einhergehen, so zaue dich; denn der HERR ist dann ausgegangen vor dir her, zu schlagen das Heer der Philister.

25 David tat, wie der HERR ihm geboten hatte, und schlug die Philister von Geba an, bis man kommt gen Gaser.

Jerusalem

  

Jerusalem, on Mount Zion, signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. Jerusalem first comes to our attention in 2 Samuel 5, when King David takes the city from the Jebusites and makes it his capital. In the next chapter he brings the Ark of the Covenant there, and later it is where Solomon builds the temple, and his own palace. From then on Jerusalem is the center of worship of the Israelitish church. It is the place where the Lord was presented in the temple as a baby, where He tarried to talk to the priests at age twelve, where He cleansed the temple, had the last supper, was crucified and then rose. It is a central place in both the old and new Testaments. The city was built on Mount Zion, the highest point of the mountains of Judea. A city, in the Word, represents doctrine, the organized knowledge of the truths of the church. Mountains represent love of the Lord and the consequent worship. If you put those things together, Jerusalem on Mount Zion signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. This is why David was led to make Jerusalem the most important city of the land, and why all worship was conducted there. And this is also why Jeroboam was condemned for introducing idol worship in Samaria. In the Book of Revelation, John's vision of the city New Jerusalem descending from God is a prophecy of a new dispensation of doctrine coming from the Lord.

4539. 'Rise up, go up to Bethel' means concerning the Divine Natural, that is to say, the perception concerning this. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' as implying some kind of raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171, 4103, here a raising up of the Natural towards the Divine; from the meaning of 'going up' as doing so towards aspects even more interior, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'Bethel' as the Divine within the natural, that is, within the ultimate degree of order, dealt with in 4089. In the original language Bethel means the house of God, and since 'the house of God' is a place where the cognitions of good and truth exist, 'Bethel' accordingly means, in the proximate sense, those cognitions, as shown in 1453. But because interior degrees are enveloped by and terminate in the parts which constitute the ultimate degree of order where they come together and so to speak inhabit the same house, and because man's natural is the ultimate degree, enveloping interior ones, 'Bethel' or the house of God therefore means, strictly speaking, the Natural, 3729, 4089, and in particular the good there. For 'a house' in the internal sense means good, 2233, 2234, 3720, 3729. It is also within the natural or the ultimate degree of order that cognitions exist.

[2] The reason why 'going up' means a raising up towards more interior aspects is that things which are interior are spoken of as those that are higher, 2148, and therefore when the subject in the internal sense is an advance towards things that are more interior the expression 'going up' is used. Examples of this usage are, going up from Egypt to the land of Canaan; going up into the interior parts of the land of Canaan itself; going up from any part there to Jerusalem; and when in Jerusalem itself, going up to the house of God there. Going up from Egypt to the land of Canaan is referred to in Moses,

Pharaoh said to Joseph, Go up and bury your father. And Joseph went up. And there went up with him all Pharaoh's servants. And there went up with him chariot and horseman. Genesis 50:6-9.

And in the Book of Judges,

The angel of Jehovah went up from Gilgal to Bochim, and he said, I caused you to go up out of Egypt. Judges 2:1.

In the internal sense 'Egypt' means factual knowledge which helps people to have some conception of things belonging to the Lord's kingdom, while 'the land of Canaan' means the Lord's kingdom. And because facts are lower, or what amounts to the same, exterior, while things belonging to the Lord's kingdom are higher, or what amounts to the same, interior, the Word therefore speaks of 'going up' from Egypt to the land of Canaan, or - when travelling in the opposite direction - of 'going down' from the land of Canaan to Egypt, as in Genesis 42:2-3; 43:4-5, 15; and elsewhere.

[3] Going up into the interior parts of the land of Canaan itself is spoken of in Joshua,

Joshua said, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai, and they resumed to Joshua and said to him, Do not let all the people go up; let about 2000 men or about 3000 men go up. Therefore there went up of the people about 3000 men. Joshua 7:2-4.

Because 'the land of Canaan' means the Lord's kingdom, parts further in from its border regions meant things that are interior; hence the use in this quotation of the verb 'to go up'. The same is true of Jerusalem in relation to all the regions surrounding it, and of the house of God in relation to Jerusalem within which it stood, 1 Kings 12:27-28; 2 Kings 20:5, 8; Matthew 20:18; Mark 10:33; Luke 18:31; and in many other places besides these. For Jerusalem was the inmost part of the land because the Lord's spiritual kingdom was meant by it, and the house of God was the inmost part of Jerusalem because the Lord's celestial kingdom, and in the highest sense the Lord Himself were meant by it. This is why one speaks of 'going up' to these places. From all this one can see what is meant by 'rise up, go up to Bethel', namely that 'going up' means an advance towards things that are more interior, the subject dealt with in the present chapter, [see] 4536.
