约兰和亚哈谢作犹大王以及耶户作以色列王

The Reigns of Jehoram and Ahaziah over Judah and the Reign of Jehu over Israel
1读经：列王纪下8:16—10:36。我们曾很强的指出，旧约历史是在豫表的方式上与神的经纶有密切的关系。我们若读旧约里的历史书，而不认识豫表，我们就不会明白这些书。列王纪下有两个人－以利沙和耶洗别－是新约里一些真实事物的显著豫表。以利沙是个非常甜美的人，而耶洗别是极其邪恶的。在本篇关于约兰和亚哈谢作犹大王以及耶户作以色列王的信息中，我们要来看耶洗别的毁灭。
1Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 8:16—10:36 We have strongly pointed out that the Old Testament history is very much related to God’secon o my in the way of typology. If we read the books of history in the Old Testament without knowing the typology, we will not understand these books. In 2 Kings two persons— Elisha and Jezebel—are striking types of certain real things in the New Testament. Whereas Elisha was a very sweet person, Jezebel was most evil. In this message on the reigns of Jehoram and Ahaziah over Judah and the reign of Jehu over Israel, we will see the destruction of Jezebel
2在豫表里的旧约和在应验里的新约，都说到耶洗别。耶洗别这极其可憎之妇人的邪恶，就像撒但的邪恶一样。许多人被她毒害、欺骗、遮蔽并霸占。旧约的耶洗别是豫表和影儿。我们要看见在新约的实际里的耶洗别是谁，这是很重要的。耶洗别-亚哈的异教妻子，乃是背道召会的豫表。基督教是地上最大的宗教，这宗教最大的部分就是今日的耶洗别，就是背道的罗马天主教。在启示录二章二十四节主耶稣说，耶洗别教导『撒但深奥之事』。在马太十三章三十三节，这同一个妇人将酵与细面搀混；酵是撒但的元素，细面象征主耶稣是素祭，作神和人的满足。耶洗别，背道的召会，教导基督的神格，却将许多酵与基督神圣身位的教训搀杂。所以，耶洗别的教训有一部分是真理，但大部分是酵。这地上有广大的地区都在她的影响之下。在启示录十七章，这妇人乃是将可憎之物与神圣之物搀混的大妓女。现在我们要转到王下八章十六节至十章三十六节，来看这里所启示关于约兰、亚哈谢、耶户和耶洗别的事。
2Both the Old Testament in typology and the New Testament in fulfillment speak of Jezebel. The evil of Jezebel, a most hateful person, is like the evil of Satan. Many people have been poisoned, cheated, veiled, and usurped by her. The Jezebel of the Old Testament was a type and a shadow. It is important for us to see who Jezebel is in the New Testament reality. Jezebel, the pagan wife of Ahab, is a type of the apostate church. Christianity is the biggest religion on earth, and the greatest part of this religion is today’s Jezebel, the apostate Roman Catholic Church. In Revelation 2:24 the Lord Jesus said that Jezebel teaches the ‘‘deep things of Satan.’’ In Matthew 13:33 this same woman mixed leaven, the element of Satan, with fine flour, which signifies the Lord Jesus as the meal offering for the satisfaction of God and man. Jezebel, the apostate church, teaches the deity of Christ but has mixed much leaven with the teaching of the divine person of Christ. With Jezebel, therefore, there is one part truth and many parts leaven. Vast regions of the earth are under her influence. In Revelation 17 this woman is the great harlot who mixes abominations with the divine things. Let us now turn to 2 Kings 8:16—10:36 to see what is recorded here concerning Jehoram, Ahaziah, Jehu, and Jezebel
壹 约兰作犹大王
I. THE REIGN OF JEHORAM OVER JUDAH
3八章十六节至二十四节上半描述约
3The reign of Jehoram over Judah is described in 8:16-24a
4兰作犹大王。
4
一 在耶路撒冷作王八年
A. Reigning for Eight Years in Jerusalem
5约兰在以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰第五年，他父犹大王约沙法还在位的时候，在耶路撒冷登基，那时年三十二岁，共作王八年。（１６～１７。）
5At the age of thirty-two, Jehoram began to reign in the fifth year of Jehoram (Joram) the son of Ahab, king of Israel, while his father Jehoshaphat was king of Judah, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem (vv. 16-17).
二 娶亚哈的女儿为妻
B. Marrying Ahab’s Daughter
6约兰娶亚哈的女儿为妻，行以色列诸王所行的，与亚哈家所作的一样。虽然他作犹大王，他却行以色列诸王所行的，因为他与亚哈发生关系，并受其影响。他几乎和所有的王一样，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。（１８。）
6Jehoram married Ahab’s daughter and walked in the way of the kings of Israel and as the house of Ahab had done. Although he was king over Judah, he walked in the way of the kings of Israel because he was related to and was influenced by the house of Ahab. Like almost all the kings, he did what was evil in the sight of Jehovah (v. 18
三 耶和华不肯灭绝犹大
C. Jehovah Not Willing to Destroy Judah
7十九节说，『耶和华却因祂仆人大卫的缘故，仍不肯灭绝犹大，照祂所应许大卫的话，长久赐灯光与他的子孙。』这指明约兰该被神灭绝。然而，耶和华不肯灭绝犹大，因为祂曾应许大卫，赐灯光与他的子孙。四以东背叛，脱离犹大的手下
7Verse 19 says, ‘‘But Jehovah would not destroy Judah, because of David His servant, as He had promised him that for his sake He would provide a lamp for his children always.’’ This indicates that Jehoram was worthy to be destroyed by God. However, Jehovah was not willing to destroy Judah because He had promised David to provide a lamp for his children. D. Edom’s Revolt from under the Hand of Judah
8从前，以东人没有王，但现在他们自己立王背叛，脱离犹大的手下。（２０。）约兰率领所有的战车攻打以东，但他的兵众逃跑，各回自己的帐棚去了。（２１～２２上。）
8Formerly, the Edomites did not have a king, but they installed a king over themselves and revolted from under the hand of Judah (v. 20). Jehoram, with all his chariots, fought against Edom, but his people fled to their tents (vv. 21-22a
五 那时立拿人也背叛
E. Libnah Revolting at the Same Time
9那时立拿人也背叛。（２２下。）
9Libnah revolted at the same time (v. 22b
六 约兰死了
F. Jehoram Dying
10约兰死了，在大卫城里，与他列祖同葬。（２３～２４上。）
10Jehoram died and was buried with his fathers in the city of David (vv. 23-24a
贰 亚哈谢作犹大王
II. THE REIGN OF AHAZIAH OVER JUDAH
11八章二十四节下半至二十九节，九章十四节下半至十六节、二十一至
11In 8:24b-29; 9:14b-16, 21-29 we have an account of the reign of Ahaziah over Judah
12二十九节，记载亚哈谢作犹大王。
12
一 作王一年
A. Reigning for One Year
13以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰十二年，约兰的儿子亚哈谢年二十二岁，登基作犹大王。亚哈谢在耶路撒冷作王一年。（八２４下～２６，九２９。）
13At the age of twenty-two, Ahaziah son of Jehoram began to reign over Judah in the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel. Ahaziah reigned for one year in Jerusalem (8:24b-26; 9:29
二 行亚哈家所行的
B. Walking in the Way of the House of Ahab
14亚哈谢行亚哈家所行，在耶和华眼中看为恶的事，与亚哈家一样；因为他是亚哈家的女婿。（八２７。）
14Ahaziah walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did what was evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab, for he was a son-in-law to the house of Ahab (8:27).
三 与约兰同去与叙利亚王哈薛争战
C. Joining Joram to Fight with Hazael King of Syria
15亚哈谢与以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰，同去与叙利亚王哈薛争战。约兰被叙利亚人所伤，亚哈谢在约兰病中去看望他。（八28-29，9:14下～16。）
15Ahaziah joined Joram the son of Ahab and king of Israel to fight with Hazael king of Syria. Joram was wounded by the Syrians, and Ahaziah went to see him in his sickness (vv. 28-29; 9:14b-16
四 在耶户背叛时，与约兰同去迎接耶户
D. Joining Jehoram (Joram) to Meet Jehu in His Rebellion
16亚哈谢在耶户背叛时，与约兰同去迎接耶户。亚哈谢为耶户所伤致死，葬在大卫城里。（九２１～２８。）
16Ahaziah joined Jehoram (Joram) to meet Jehu in his rebellion. Ahaziah was fatally wounded by Jehu and was buried in the city of David (vv. 21-28
参 耶户作以色列王
III. THE REIGN OF JEHU OVER ISRAEL
17王下九章一节至十章三十六节说到耶户作以色列王。耶户被神用为行刑者，执行祂对亚哈全家的审判。
17Second Kings 9:1—10:36 speaks of the reign of Jehu over Israel. Jehu was used by God as an executioner to carry out His judgment on the whole house of Ahab
一 为申言者门徒所膏
A. Being Anointed by a Son of the Prophets
18申言者以利沙吩咐一个申言者门徒，拿一瓶膏油，倒在耶户头上，说耶和华膏他作以色列王。那少年人就照以利沙所说的去行，膏了耶户，宣告神立他作耶和华民以色列的王。申言者门徒又告诉耶户，神嘱咐他要击杀他主人亚哈的全家，好在耶洗别身上伸祂仆人众申言者流血的冤，并祂一切仆人流血的冤。他说，亚哈全家必都灭亡，凡属亚哈后裔的男丁，都必剪除，使亚哈的家像尼八儿子耶罗波安的家，又像亚希雅儿子巴沙的家；耶洗别必被狗所吃，无人葬埋。（九１～１０。）
18Elisha the prophet told one of the sons of the prophets to take a flask of oil, pour it on Jehu’she ad, and say that Jehovah had anointed him king over Israel. The young man did as Elisha had said, anointing Jehu and declaring that God had made him king over the people of Jehovah, over Israel. Then the son of the prophets told Jehu that he had been charged by God to strike the house of Ahab his master for God’save ng ing of the blood of His servants the prophets and the blood of all His servants at the hand of Jezebel. He went on to say that the whole house of Ahab would perish and that every male of his descendants would be cut off, making the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, and that Jezebel would be eaten by the dogs with no one to bury her (9:1-10
二 被承认并宣告为王
B. Being Recognized and Proclaimed to Be the King
19耶户被他主人以色列王约兰的臣仆所承认并宣告为王。（１１～１３。）
19Jehu was recognized and proclaimed to be the king by the servants of his master Jehoram king of Israel (vv. 11-13
三 背叛他主人以色列王约兰
C. Rebelling against His Master Jehoram King of Israel
20耶户背叛以色列王约兰，杀了他，把他抛在拿伯的田间，应验神关于伸拿伯和他众子之血的冤的豫言。拿伯和他众子，无辜的民，已被耶洗别所杀。他们的血一直在神面前，神要伸那血的冤。耶户也致命的击伤犹大王亚哈谢。（１４～２７。）藉此我们能看见，神的子民要享受美地，必须有对的、义的光景。
20Jehu rebelled against Jehoram king of Israel, killed him, and threw him in the lot of the field of Naboth in fulfillment of God’s prophecy concerning His avenging of the blood of Naboth and his sons. Naboth and his sons, innocent citizens, had been killed by Jezebel. Their blood was before God continually, and God sought to avenge that blood. Jehu also fatally wounded Ahaziah king of Judah (vv. 14-27). By this we can see that for the people of God to enjoy the good land, there must be a right and righteous situation.
四 执行神对耶洗别的审判
D. Executing God’s Judgment on Jezebel
21耶户执行神对耶洗别的审判，（３０～３７，）命太监把她从窗户扔下来。太监迅速回应耶户的嘱咐，把耶洗别扔下来。这事实指明他们恨这邪恶的妇人已相当长久，却不能对她作甚么。她的血溅在墙上和马上，并且耶户把她践踏了。他们去葬埋她，只寻得她的头骨、脚骨和手掌。这应验神关于她的豫言：在耶斯列田间，狗必吃她的肉;她的尸首必在耶斯列田间如同粪土，甚至人不能说，『这是耶洗别。』（３７。）
21Jehu executed God’s judgment on Jezebel (vv. 30-37) by having her thrown down from the window by the eunuchs. The fact that the eunuchs responded so quickly to Jehu’s charge to throw Jezebel down indicates that they had hated this evil woman for quite along time but could do nothing to her. Some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, and Jehu trampled her. When they went to bury her, they found only her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands. This was in fulfillment of God’s prophecy concerning her that in the lot of Jezreel the dogs would eat her flesh and that her corpse would be like dung upon the face of the field in the lot of Jezreel, so that people would not say, ‘‘This is Jezebel’’ (v. 37
22启示录十七章表明那真正的耶洗别，大妓女，背道的罗马天主教可怜的结局。敌基督和他的十王逼迫地上的宗教时，要吃耶洗别的肉，并且用火将她烧尽。（１６。）
22Revelation 17 shows the pitiful ending of the real Jezebel, the great harlot, the apostate Roman Catholic Church. When Antichrist and his ten kings persecute the religions of the earth, they will eat the flesh of Jezebel and burn her utterly with fire (v. 16
五 杀了亚哈的七十个儿子
E. Slaughtering the Seventy Sons of Ahab
23耶户也杀了亚哈的七十个儿子。（王下十１～１１。）耶户向耶斯列的首领、长老、和教养亚哈众子的人题议，立亚哈众子中的一个接续王位，他们可以为亚哈家争战。（１～３。）家宰、邑宰、和长老、并教养众子的人背叛。他们杀了亚哈的七十个儿子，将他们的首级送到耶户那里，耶户又杀尽亚哈的大臣、密友、祭司，没有留下一个。（４～１１。）
23Jehu also slaughtered the seventy sons of Ahab (2 Kings 10:1-11). Jehu proposed to the rulers of Jezreel, the elders, and the guardians of the children of Ahab to make one of the children of Ahab to be the successor to the throne and to fight for the house of Ahab (vv. 1-3). The one who was over the household, the one who was over the city, the elders, and the guardians of Ahab’s children rebelled. They killed all the seventy sons of Ahab and sent their heads to Jehu, and Jehu killed Ahab’s great men, acquaintances, and priests until no one remained (vv. 4-11
六 杀了犹大王亚哈谢的弟兄们
F. Killing the Brothers of Ahaziah King of Judah
24十二至十四节告诉我们，耶户杀了犹大王亚哈谢的弟兄们。七把在撒玛利亚亚哈家剩下的人都杀了接著，正如耶和华对以利亚所说的，耶户把在撒玛利亚亚哈家剩下的人都杀了。（１５～１７。）
24Verses 12 through 14 tell us that Jehu killed the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah. G. Slaying All Who Were Left to Ahab in Samaria Next, according to the word of Jehovah spoken to Elijah, Jehu slew all who were left to Ahab in Samaria (vv. 15-17).
八 杀尽巴力的众申言者
H. Slaughtering All the Prophets of Baal
25耶户用诡计杀尽巴力的众申言者，一切事奉巴力的人，巴力的众祭司，和拜巴力的人。然后他烧了巴力庙中一切的柱像，拆毁巴力庙作为厕所;于是在以色列中灭了巴力。（１８～２８。）
25In subtlety, Jehu slaughtered all the prophets of Baal and all his servants, priests, and worshippers. Then he burned all the pillars of the house of Baal and broke down the house of Baal and made it a latrine, thus eradicating Baal from Israel (vv. 18-28
九 不离开耶罗波安的罪
I. Not Turning Away from the Sins of Jeroboam
26虽然耶户行了一些对的、讨神喜悦的事，但他不离开尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人犯罪的那罪，就是拜伯特利和但的金牛犊。（２９，３１。）十耶和华对耶户说到他的子孙在三十节，耶和华对耶户说，『因你办好我眼中看为正的事，照我的心意待亚哈家，你的子孙必接续你坐以色列的国位，直到四代。』这也指明要享受美地，我们必须是对的。我们享受基督作我们的美地有多少，在于我们的所是，以及我们对了多少。
26Although Jehu did some things that were right and pleasing to God, he did not turn away from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, by which he caused Israel to sin, that is, the golden calves which were in Bethel and Dan (vv. 29, 31). J. Jehovah Speaking to Jehu concerning His Sons In verse 30 Jehovah spoke to Jehu, saying, ‘‘Because you have done well in executing what is right in My eyes and have dealt with the house of Ahab according to all that was in My heart, your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.’’ This also indicates that to enjoy the good land we must be right. How much we enjoy Christ as our good land depends on what we are and how right we are
十一 耶和华开始割削以色列的地
K. Jehovah Beginning to Cut Away Portions of Land in Israel
27在那些日子，耶和华藉著哈薛攻击以色列的四境，开始割削以色列的地。（３２～３３。）
27In those days Jehovah began to cut away portions of land in Israel by Hazael striking them in all the borders of Israel (vv. 32-33
十二 葬在撒玛利亚
L. Being Buried in Samaria
28耶户在撒玛利亚作以色列王二十八年以后，与他列祖同睡，葬在撒玛利亚。他儿子约哈斯接续他作王。（３４～３６。）
28After reigning over Israel for twenty-eight years in Samaria, Jehu slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoahaz reigned in his place (vv. 34-36
