2 Samuel 5

Дослідження

   

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.

6982. 'I am not a man of words' means that he is lacking in speech. This is clear from the meaning of 'a man of words' as the fact that he is not an able speaker, and so is lacking in speech. What all this entails must be stated. The subject here in the highest sense is the Lord, for 'Moses' represents the Lord in respect of the law of God, thus in respect of God's truth. Truth that goes forth directly from the Divine cannot be heard by anyone, not even by any angel; if what is Divine is to be heard it must first be made human, and it is made human when it passes through the heavens. When it has passed through the heavens it is presented in a human form and becomes speech, speech which is uttered by spirits who, while they are in that state, are called the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit is said to come forth from the Divine because what is holy with a spirit, namely the holy truth uttered by him at that time, comes forth from the Lord. From all this one may recognize that truth coming forth directly from the Divine cannot be presented to anyone as spoken word or speech except by means of the Holy Spirit. This is what is meant in the highest sense when Moses, who represents the Lord in respect of God's truth, says that he is 'not a man of words', and by the fact that Aaron his brother was to be attached to him; Aaron was to serve him in place of his mouth, and he was to serve Aaron in God's place.

Arcana Coelestia #4814

4814. 'It happened at that time' means the state belonging to the things that follow. This is clear from the meaning of 'time' as state, dealt with in 2625, 2788, 2837, 3254, 3356, 3404, 3938. The state belonging to the things that follow is indeed the meaning of 'it happened at that time', because what happened next is recorded in the descriptions that follow. What is more, these descriptions carry on from the train of thought contained in the descriptions that go immediately before them. For the subject in the previous chapter is the sons of Jacob and their selling of Joseph. They were persuaded to sell him by Judah, of whom the previous chapter speaks as follows,

Judah said to his brothers, What profit' is there in our killing our brother and our concealing his blood? Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites. Genesis 37:26-27.

The meaning there is that Divine Truth was alienated by the brothers, especially by Judah, who at that point means in the proximate sense the tribe of Judah, and in general the corrupt within the Church who are opposed to all good whatever, see 4750, 4751. A reference back to this is contained in the words 'at that time'. For now the subject is Judah, his sons by the Canaanite woman, and after these his sons by Tamar his daughter-in-law, all of which in the internal sense describes the tribe of Judah so far as things of the Church established among that tribe were concerned.

[2] As for 'time' meaning state, and 'it happened at that time' consequently meaning the state belonging to the things that follow, this is bound to appear quite strange, for the reason that no one can comprehend how the idea of a time can be turned into that of a state; that is, how when reading 'time' in the Word one has to understand something to do with some state. But it should be realized that angels' thoughts are not formed from anything having a temporal or a spatial origin, because they are in heaven. When they left the world they also left behind all idea of time and space and adopted ideas of state, that is, of the state in which good and truth exist. Therefore when a person reads the Word and from this thinks of a certain time and of the things taking place at that time, the angels present with him do not perceive anything to do with a certain time but instead the aspects of a state, to which those things also correspond.

Nor indeed with his interior thought does the reader conceive of a time, only with his exterior thought, as may be recognized from the state when a person's exterior thought lies dormant, that is, while he is asleep, as well as from many other kinds of experience.

[3] But it should be realized that in general there are two kinds of state - a state involving good and one involving truth. The former is called a state of being (esse), but the latter a state of manifestation (existere), for being is the essential characteristic of good, and the manifestation of this the essential characteristic of truth. Space corresponds to a state of being, time to a state of manifestation. From this it may be seen that when a person reads this statement 'and it happened at that time', the angels present with him cannot perceive these words at all in the way that the reader does. Similarly with every other statement, for whatever has been written in the Word is such that among angels it is converted into a corresponding meaning which cannot at all be seen in the sense of the letter; for that which is worldly belonging to the sense of the letter is converted into that which is spiritual belonging to the internal sense.
