大卫的历史（三）

The History Concerning David (3)

神所豫备，合乎神心的人撒上十六章至撒下一章（三）受扫罗逼迫试验（二）

Prepared by God to be a Man According to the Heart of God 1 Samuel 16—2 Samuel 1 (3) Persecuted And Tried By Saul (2

1读经：撒母耳记上21—24章。

1Scripture Reading: 1 Sam. 21—24

2在本篇信息中，我们要继续来看大卫如何受扫罗逼迫并试验。在扫罗一切的逼迫中，大卫没有作甚么为自己报复。他只作一件事，就是逃走。扫罗尽力要杀大卫，约拿单和米甲却帮助他逃走。藉著这两个人，神主宰的提供大卫一些情报。在一切与大卫有关的事上，神都是主宰一切的。从大卫在扫罗逼迫下的经历，我们必须学习一个重要的功课，就是在召会生活中，不该有一点的肉体，不该有忿怒、计谋、阴谋。召会乃是神的国，（罗十四，）在召会中必须有神圣的权柄，有正确的次序；没有人可以推翻这次序。我们将会看见，大卫敬畏神，不敢推翻神所安排的次序。我们若说我们是在主的恢复里，却不知道神所命定的次序，这乃是羞耻。背叛和争斗抹煞了召会生活。我们中间不该有背叛、忿怒、争斗。我们只该在灵里活基督，使我们照著神圣、命定的次序，过召会生活。

2In this message we will continue to see how David was persecuted and tried by Saul. Through all of Saul’s persecution, David did not fight or do anything to avenge himself. The only thing he did was flee. As Saul was seeking to kill David, Jonathan and Michal helped him flee. Through them God sovereignly provided David with certain kinds of information. In everything related to David, God was sovereign. From David’s experience under Saul’s persecution, we need to learn an important lesson. This lesson is that in the church life there should not be anything of the flesh; there should be no anger, no devices, no conspiracies, and no plots. The church is the kingdom of God (Rom. 14:17), and in the church there must be 17 the divine authority with the proper order. No one should overthrow this order. As we will see, David feared God and did not dare to overthrow the order arranged by God. It would be a shame for us to say that we are in the Lord’s recovery, yet we do not know that there is a God - ordained order. Rebellion and fighting annul the church life. With us there should be no rebellion, no anger, and no fighting. We should just live Christ in the spirit that we may live a church life according to the divine, ordained order.

3我们必须学习钉死肉体的功课。报复和争斗都是肉体的事。在以弗所四章二十六节保罗说，『不可含怒到日落。』这意思是说，日落的时候，我们的怒气也该过去了。我们不该让怒气留在那里；这是圣经的启示，我们应当实行。在神的国里，一切的肉体都该灭绝。加拉太五章十七节说，『肉体纵任贪欲，抵抗那灵，那灵也抵抗肉体。』二十四节说，『那属基督耶稣的人，是已经把肉体连肉体的邪情私欲，都钉了十字架。』二十一节说，那些有分于肉体之事的人，『必不得承受神的国。』我们若有分于肉体，就与神的国无分无关。忌恨、恼怒、私图好争、分裂等事，都是神国之外的东西。因此，在召会生活中，不该有任何神国之外的东西。

3We need to learn the lesson of crucifying the flesh. Avenging and fighting back are matters of the flesh. In Ephesians 4:26 Paul said, “Do not let the sun go down on your indignation.” This means that when the sunsets our anger should also set. No anger should linger. This is the revelation in the Bible, and we should practice it. In the kingdom of God the flesh has to be ruled out. Galatians 5:17 says that “the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.” Verse 24 says that “they who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and its lusts.” Verse 21 says that those who partake of the things of the flesh “will not inherit the kingdom of God.” If we are partakers with the flesh, we are through with the kingdom and will have no share in it. Things such as jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, and divisions are foreign articles in the kingdom. In the church life, therefore, there should not be any foreign articles.

4现在我们来看撒上二十一至二十四章所记载，关于大卫受扫罗逼迫试验的事。

4Let us now see what is recorded in 1 Samuel 21 through 24 concerning David’s being persecuted and tried by Saul

捌、得祭司亚希米勒供给陈设圣饼，和歌利亚的刀

Viii. Supplied With The Holy Bread Of The Presence And With The Sword Of Goliath By The Priest Ahimelech

5当大卫逃离扫罗的时候，他和他的同伴得祭司亚希米勒供给陈设圣饼，和歌利亚的刀。（二一1～9。）当法利赛人来对主耶稣说，『你的门徒在作安息日不可作的事，』（太十二2，）祂题到这件事。主的回答题醒他们，大卫和他的同伴也吃了陈设圣饼。祂对他们说，『大卫和跟从他的人饥饿之时所作的，你们没有念过么？他怎样进了神的殿，他们且吃了陈设饼，就是他不可吃，跟从他的人也不可吃，惟独祭司才可吃的。再者，律法上记著，当安息日，祭司在殿里渎犯了安息日，还是没有罪，你们没有念过么？但我告诉你们，在这里有比殿更大的。』（3～6。）基督比大卫和殿都大。若没有基督，我们就不该作甚么；若没有基督，我们作甚么都是错的。只要有基督，凡我们所作的都是对的。这就是神的国。

5When David was fleeing from Saul, he and his companions were supplied with the holy bread of the presence and with the sword of Goliath by Ahimelech the priest (21:1-9). The Lord Jesus referred to this when the Pharisees came to Him, saying, “Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath” (Matt. 12:2). He answered them by reminding them that David and his companions had eaten of the holy bread of God’s presence. He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, and those who were with him; how he entered into the house of God, and they ate the bread of the presence, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, except for the priests only? Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless? But I say to you that something greater than the temple is here” (vv. 3-6). Christ is greater than David and greater than the temple. Without Christ, we should not do anything. Without Christ, whatever we do is wrong. With Christ, whatever we do is right. This is God’skin gdom

玖、躲避扫罗，逃到迦特王亚吉那里

IX. Fleeing From Saul And Going To Achish King Of Gath

一、遭亚吉王的臣仆怀疑

A. Suspected by the Servants of King Achish

6大卫逃避扫罗，逃到迦特王亚吉那里。（撒上二一10～15，参诗五六篇题。）亚吉的臣仆怀疑他，说，『这不是以色列国王大卫么？那里的妇女跳舞唱和，不是指著他说，扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万么？』（撒上二一11。）二、装作疯子，从迦特逃走大卫被亚吉王的臣仆怀疑时，就装作疯子，从迦特逃走。（撒上二一12～15，参诗三四篇题。）扫罗对大卫的逼迫，厉害到一个地步，叫大卫被迫装疯。在基督的地上，似乎没有一处是为著他。以赛亚八章称美地为以马内利的地；但在这以马内利的地，基督的地上，竟然没有一处留给这个敬畏神、爱神的人。

6David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath (1 Sam. 21:10-15; cf. Psa. 56, title). The servants of Achish suspected him and said to him, “Is this not David king of the land? Is this not him of whom they sang to one another in dances, saying, Saul has stricken down his thousands;/But David, his ten thousands?” (v. 11). B. Disguising Himself as a Madman to Escape from Gath When David was suspected by the servants of King Achish, he disguised himself as a madman to escape from Gath (vv. 12-15; cf. Psa. 34, title). Saul’s persecution of David was so severe that David was forced to disguise himself as a madman. It seemed as if there was no place for him in the land of Christ. In Isaiah 8 the good land was called the land of Immanuel. There was no place for this God- fearing and God-loving man to remain in the land of Immanuel, the land of Christ.

拾、住在亚杜兰洞、摩押的米斯巴、和犹大的哈列树林里

X. Staying In The Cave Of Adullam And In Mizpeh Of Moab And In The Forest Of Hereth Of Judah

7大卫离开迦特，逃到亚杜兰洞里。（撒上二二1～2，参诗五七，一四二篇题。）大卫从那里往摩押的米斯巴去。（撒上二二3～4。）但申言者迦得叫大卫离开，往犹大地去；大卫就进入犹大的哈列树林里。（5。）

7David went from Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam (1 Sam. 22:1-2; cf. Psa. 57, 142, titles). From there he went to Mizpeh of Moab (1 Sam. 22:3-4). But when Gad the prophet told him to depart and go into the land of Judah, David went into the forest of Hereth of Judah (v. 5

拾壹、扫罗因大卫的缘故，杀祭司亚希米勒和他全家

XI. Saul Killing Ahimelech The Priest And His Family Because Of David

8当亚希米勒供应大卫的事报告到扫罗那里，扫罗就把亚希米勒和他全家都杀了。（撒上二二6～23，参诗五二篇题。）这给我们看见，扫罗全然背叛了神。他一点都不服神，不以神为他的王和他的头。他是由背叛所构成的；这样的不服就和拜偶像一样。（撒上十五23。）每一次的背叛，都有擅作主张、胆敢离开神去行事的因素。

8When Ahimelech’s supplying of David was reported to Saul, he killed Ahimelech and his family (vv. 6-23; cf. Psa. 52, title). This shows that Saul was utterly rebellious toward God. He had no subordination to God, nor did he take God as his King and Head. He was constituted with rebellion, which equals the worship of idols (15:23). Every case of rebellion is a matter of presumption, a matter of daring to do things without God

拾贰、击败非利士人，住在基伊拉

XII. Defeating The Philistines And Staying In Keilah

9照著二十三章一至十二节，大卫击败非利士人，住在基伊拉。虽然大卫遭逼迫，他仍然能彀与非利士人争战。但他没有留在正确的地方，就是美地，而是住在基伊拉。

9According to 23:1-12 David defeated the Philistines and stayed in Keilah. Even though David was persecuted, he could still fight against the Philistines. However, instead of staying in the proper place, the good land, he stayed in Keilah

拾参、留在西弗旷野

Xiii. Remaining In The Wilderness Of Ziph

10大卫留在西弗旷野。（撒上二三13～28，参诗五四，六三篇题。）

10David remained in the wilderness of Ziph (vv. 13-28; cf. Psa. 54, 63, titles

一、扫罗天天寻索大卫，神却不将大卫交在扫罗手里

A. Saul Seeking Him Every Day, but God Not Delivering Him into Saul’s Hand

11虽然扫罗天天寻索大卫，神却不将大卫交在扫罗手里。（撒上二三14。）二、大卫得扫罗儿子约拿单的加强，

11Even though Saul sought for David every day, God did not deliver him into Saul’s hand (1 Sam. 23:14). B. David Being Strengthened by Jonathan the Son

而信靠神

of Saul to trust in God

12大卫得扫罗儿子约拿单的加强，而信靠神。（15～18。）约拿单得著一个机会离开扫罗，来到大卫那里，为著加强他。约拿单实在是大卫一个大的供备。

12David was strengthened by Jonathan the son of Saul to trust in God (vv. 15-18). There was an occasion when Jonathan could leave Saul and come to David for the purpose of strengthening him. Jonathan was surely a great provision for David

三、大卫急忙躲避扫罗

C. David Hurrying to Get Away from Saul

13大卫急忙躲避扫罗，因为扫罗和跟随他的人，四面围住大卫和跟随他的人，要拿获他们。忽有消息传给扫罗，说，非利士人犯境抢劫。于是扫罗不追赶大卫，回去攻打非利士人。（25～28。）拾肆、大卫从西弗旷野上去，

13David hurried to get away from Saul, while Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men in order to capture them. Then a message came to Saul that the Philistines had raided the land. So Saul returned from pursuing after David and went to meet the Philistines (vv. 25-28). XIV. David Going Up From The Wilderness Of Ziph

住在隐基底的山寨里

And Remaining In The Strongholds Of En-Gedi

14大卫从西弗旷野上去，住在隐基底的山寨里。（29。）扫罗追赶非利士人回来，有人告诉他大卫的下落；扫罗就挑选三千精兵，出去寻索大卫。（二四1～2。）

14David went up from the wilderness of Ziph and remained in the strongholds of En-gedi (v. 29). When Saul returned from following the Philistines, he was told where David was, and Saul took three thousand choice men and went to seek David (24:1-2

拾伍、扫罗落在大卫手里，大卫却不杀他

XV. Saul Falling Into The Hand Of David, But David Not Killing Him

一、这是神在扫罗追赶大卫的事上，给扫罗的管教

A. This Being God’s Discipline on Saul in His Pursuing of David

15当大卫和跟随他的人藏在洞里的深处，扫罗落在大卫手里。（3～4上。）这是神在扫罗追赶大卫的事

15When David and his men were hiding in a deep cave, Saul fell into David’s hand (vv. 3-4a). This was God’s discipline on Saul in his pursuing of David

16上，给扫罗的管教。

二、大卫不肯杀扫罗，但割下扫罗外袍的衣襟

B. David Not Killing Saul but Only Cutting Off a Corner of Saul’s Cloak

17大卫不肯杀扫罗，但割下扫罗外袍的衣襟。然而，甚至在这件事上，大卫也心中自责，因为他敬畏神，知道扫罗乃是神的受膏者。（4下～。）在神的国里，有神圣的权柄等次。扫罗不是自立为王；他乃是神所立所膏的王，所以扫罗是神圣的权柄，大卫为此敬畏神。大卫守住在神选民中神所命定的权柄等次，这为他将来作神选民的王立下良好的根基。他若背叛扫罗，以后的人就会以他为榜样，来背叛神所命定、所设立的王。

17David would not kill Saul but only cut off a corner of Saul’s cloak. However, even for this David’she art smote him, because of his fear of God in that Saul was God’san o in ted (vv. 4b-7). In God’skin gdom there is a divine order of authority. Saul was not a self-appointed king; 7 he was the king appointed and anointed by God. Saul was therefore the divine authority, and David feared God in this. David kept the God - ordained order of authority among God’select. By so doing, David laid a good foundation for himself to be the king of God’select in the coming days. If he had rebelled against Saul, then he would have been to the people an example of rebellion against the God-ordained, appointed king.

三、大卫向扫罗求诉

C. David Pleading with Saul

18大卫向扫罗求诉，扫罗多少也受感动。（8～15。）大卫在这里所作的，完全是新约所教导，不要以恶报恶，反要以善胜恶。（罗十二17，21。）

18David pleaded with Saul, and Saul was somewhat influenced by David’s appeal (vv. 8-15). What David did here was exactly what the New Testament teaches concerning not repaying evil for evil but overcoming evil with good (Rom. 12:17, 21

四、大卫敬畏神并尊重神的生活，征服了卤莽的扫罗

D. David’s God-fearing and God-honoring Life Subduing the Reckless Saul

19最后，大卫敬畏神并尊重神的生活，征服了卤莽的扫罗，使扫罗不再追赶大卫。（撒上二四16～22。）大卫在与扫罗的关系上，是我们今天过召会生活很好的榜样。

19Finally, David’s God-fearing and God-honoring life subdued the reckless Saul and stopped Saul from pursuing him (1 Sam. 24:16-22). In his relationship with Saul, David is a very good pattern for us in the church life today
