大卫历史的补充

The Supplement to the History of David
1读经：历代志上22:2—29:30。代上二十二章二节至二十九章三十节是大卫历史的补充。壹大卫为著建造神的殿，豫备甚多材料
1Scripture Reading: 1 Chron. 22:2—29:30 First Chronicles 22:2—29:30 is a supplement to the history of David. I. DAVID’S PREPARATION OF THE MATERIALS FOR THE BUILDING OF THE TEMPLE OF GOD IN ABUNDANCE
2大卫为著建造神的殿，豫备甚多材料，豫表基督用祂追测不尽的丰富为供备，以建造神的召会。（二二２～５，１４～１６上，二九２～５上。）基督所供备的一切丰富，就是基督自己。大卫是基督的豫表，争战并得著胜利。基督是独一有资格，为著建造神的召会供备材料的一位。大卫所供备一切1材料的属灵意义，我们已在王上五大卫在他受患难、试炼、并争战得胜上的豫备，豫表基督在祂受试炼、并胜过撒但同他黑暗权势上丰富的供备，以建造神的召会。照著新约的记载，基督过争战的生活，主要是与神的仇敌撒但争战。在祂的得胜里，祂豫备了一切建造神召会的材料。
2David’s preparation of the materials for the building of the temple of God in abundance typifies Christ’s provision for the building of the church of God with His unsearchable riches (22:2-5, 14-16a; 29:2-5a). All the riches provided by Christ are Christ Himself. David was a type of Christ, fighting the battle and gaining the victory. Christ is the unique One who is qualified to provide the materials for the building up of the church of God. The spiritual significances of all the materials provided by David are covered in the life-study of David’s preparation in his affliction, in his trials, and in the victory of his fightings typifies Christ’s rich provision for the building of the church of God in His trials and victory over Satan with his power of darkness. According to the record of the New Testament, Christ lived a fighting life, fighting mainly against God’se ne my Satan. In His victory He prepared all the materials for the building up of the church of God.
贰 大卫嘱咐所罗门
II. DAVID’S CHARGE TO SOLOMON
3在代上二十二章六至十三节、十六节下半，大卫嘱咐所罗门，在太平中建造神的殿。父亲大卫是战士以得著供备。儿子所罗门不是战士，乃是平安王。他在太平中享受了藉著他父亲的得胜所得著并达到的。
3In 1 Chronicles 22:6-13, 16b we have David’s charge to Solomon for the building of the temple of God in peace. The father David was a fighter to gain the provisions. The son Solomon was not a fighter but a peaceful king. In peace he enjoyed what was gained and attained through his father’s victories
4参大卫嘱咐以色列的众首领在十七至十九节，大卫嘱咐以色列的众首领帮助所罗门建造神的殿。
4III. DAVID’S CHARGE TO ALL THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL In verses 17 through 19 David charged all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon in building the temple of God
肆 大卫安排祭司
IV. DAVID’S ARRANGEMENT OF THE ORDER
5和利未人供职的班次二十三至二十六章记载大卫安排祭司和利未人供职的班次。这豫表身体的头基督设立了祂身体中的等次，给所有的肢体持守。我们需要领悟，基督的身体中有等次，每一个不同的肢体都设立在个别的地位上。身体中的安排不是谁高谁低的事；反之，这安排全然是由于基督的设立。我们需要领悟，基督所有的肢体都是必需、有用的，我们也该满意于基督所将我们安置在祂身体中的地位。
5OF THE SERVICES OF THE PRIESTS AND THE LEVITES Chapters twenty-three through twenty-six are a record of David’s arrangement of the order of the services of the priests and the Levites. This typifies that as the Head of the Body Christ has set up an order in His Body for all the members to keep. We need to realize that there is an order in the Body of Christ, with the various members set in a particular place. The arrangement in the Body is not a matter of who is higher and who is lower; rather, the arrangement is altogether a matter of what has been ordered by Christ. We need to realize that all the members of the Body are necessary and useful, and we should be content with where Christ has placed us in His Body.
一 立他儿子所罗门作以色列的王
A. Making Solomon His Son King over Israel
6大卫立他儿子所罗门作以色列的王，指明所有的祭司和利未人都在他之下。（二三１。）二祭司分为二十四个班次亚伦的子孙作祭司的，分为二十四个班次。（二四1～19。）今天在召会生活中，我们也是在不同的班次里事奉。
6David made Solomon his son the king over Israel, indicating that all the priests and Levites were under him (23:1). B. The Priests Being Ordered in Twenty-four Divisions The priests, the sons of Aaron, were ordered in twenty- four divisions, or sections (24:1-19). In the church life today we serve in different sections
三 利未人供职的班次
C. The Divisions of the Services of the Levites
7大卫也安排利未人供职的班次。（二三2～32，二四20～二六32。）
7David also arranged the divisions of the services of the Levites (23:2-32; 24:20—26:32
１ 利未三个儿子之子孙的职任
1. The Services of the Descendants of the Three Sons of Levi
8利未三个儿子革顺、哥辖、米拉利之子孙的职任，描述在二十三章二至二十三节。利未人的总数是三万八千人，都是三十岁以上的男丁。（２～３。）其中有二万四千人，监督耶和华殿的事，有六千人是官长和审判官，有四千人是守门的，有四千人用大卫所作的乐器颂赞耶和华。（４～５。）革顺、哥辖、米拉利的家谱记载在六至二十三节。
8The services of the descendants of the three sons of Levi— Gershon, Kohath, and Merari—are described in 23:2-23. The total number of the Levites was thirty-eight thousand males from thirty years old and upward (vv. 2-3). Of these, twentyfour thousand were to oversee the work of the house of Jehovah; six thousand were to be officers and judges; four thousand were to be gatekeepers; and four thousand were to praise Jehovah with the instruments made by David (vv. 4-5). The genealogies of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari are given in verses 6 through 23
２ 所有供职的利未人从旁帮助祭司
2. All the Serving Levites Serving alongside the Priests
9所有二十岁以上供职的利未人，要从旁帮助祭司，照料神殿中的一切事务。（２４～３２。）在今天的召会生活中，有些年轻的该为年长的承担一些事奉。
9All the serving Levites from twenty years old and upward were to serve alongside the priests to take care of all the business affairs for the temple of God (vv. 24-32). In today’s church life some of the younger ones should bear some service for the older ones
３ 其余的利未人
3. The Rest of the Levites
都掣签供职
Casting Lots for Their Duty
10其余的利未人，无论老少，都掣签供职，正如他们的弟兄亚伦的子孙一般。（二四20～31。）这进一步指明，每个事奉的人都必须按正确的等次。
10The rest of the Levites, both old and young, cast lots for their duty even as their brothers the sons of Aaron (24:20-31). This is a further indication that every serving one had to be in the proper order.
４ 大卫和军中的众首领分派亚萨、希幔、并耶杜顿子孙中的一些人
4. David and the Leaders of the Army Setting Apart Some of the Sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun
11大卫和军中的众首领分派亚萨、希幔（他是大背叛者可拉的子孙－民十六，也是撒母耳的孙子－代上六33）、并耶杜顿子孙中的一些人，为大卫王所派作首领，用琴、瑟、钹申言（歌唱），将他们分为二十四班。（二五。）向神歌唱赞美，是以色列人敬拜神的主要部分。（参弗五19。）今天我们需要对神有更多的歌唱赞美。５守门的分成班次守门的，其中有些是大背叛者可拉的子孙，分成班次看守殿的东、北、南、西门，和库房的门。（代上二六１～１９。）
11David and the leaders of the army set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman (a descendant of the great rebel Korah—Num. 16—and a grandson of Samuel—1 Chron. 6:33), and Jeduthun, appointed by King David as the leaders, to prophesy (to sing) with lyres, harps, and cymbals, and divided them into twenty-four divisions (ch. 25). To sing praises to God was the main part of Israel’s worship to God (cf. Eph. 5:19). Today we need to have more singing of praises to God. 5. The Doorkeepers Being Divided into Divisions The doorkeepers, some of whom were the descendants of Korah the great rebel, were divided into divisions to keep the gates of the temple on the east, north, south, and west, and the gate of the storehouse (1 Chron. 26:1-19
６ 利未人有些被分派看守神殿的府库
6. Of the Levites, Some Being Assigned to Keep the Treasures of the House of God
12利未人有些被分派看守神殿的府库和奉献之物的府库；这些奉献之物是大卫王、族长和众军长为著修造耶和华的殿，从他们争战夺得之物中献上的，以及撒母耳、扫罗、押尼珥和约押所奉献之物。（２０～２８。）这表明大卫豫备材料以建造殿，而别人藉著胜过仇敌得著掳物，然后将这掳物献给神，以维修神的殿。这可比喻为今天召会的情况。就一面说，召会已由基督藉著祂的使徒所建造，现今我们只需要维护或修造所建造的。
12Of the Levites, some were assigned to keep the treasures of the house of God and the treasures of the dedicated gifts dedicated by David the king and the heads and the captains out of the spoil won in battles, for the repair of the house of Jehovah, and all that Samuel, Saul, Abner, and Joab had dedicated (vv. 20-28). This shows that whereas David prepared the materials for the building of the temple, others gained spoil through their victory over the enemies and then offered this spoil to God for the maintenance of the house of God. This can be compared to the situation with the church today. In a sense the church has already been built by Christ through His apostles, and now we are simply maintaining, or repairing, what has been built
７ 利未人也有一些被任命管理外务
7. Of the Levites, Some Being Appointed to Outward Duties
13利未人也有一些被任命作官长和审判官，管理以色列的外务。（29～32。）
13Of the Levites, some were appointed to the outward duties over Israel, as officers and judges (vv. 29-32
８ 大卫的安排
8. David’s Arrangement
豫表那灵的安排
Typifying the Spirit’s Arrangement
14大卫安排以色列人事奉神的班次，与神的殿有关，豫表在新约里那灵在召会事奉上，有次序的安排。（林前十二４～１１，十四４０。）
14David’s arrangement in order of Israel’s services to God related to the temple of God typifies the Spirit’s arrangement in order of the church services in the New Testament (1 Cor. 12:4-11; 14:40).
伍 在大卫之管理行政中的官长
V. THE OFFICERS IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF DAVID’S GOVERNMENT
15代上二十七章说到在大卫之管理行政中的官长。
15First Chronicles 27 speaks of the officers in the administration of David’s government
一 服事王的官长有十二班
A. The Officers Who Served the King Being of Twelve Divisions
16服事王的官长有十二班，每班二万四千人，全年按月轮流，办理王事。（１～１５。）这是过度的，可能是所罗门以后背叛的隐藏因素。任何过于奢侈的享受都无法持久。今天没有人该有过度和太奢侈的享受。
16The officers who served the king were of twelve divisions, twenty-four thousand in each division, taking care of the king’s affairs month by month throughout all the months of the year (vv. 1-15). This was excessive, and it might have been a hidden factor in the rebellion after the time of Solomon. Any enjoyment that is too luxurious cannot last. Today no one should have an enjoyment that is excessive and too luxurious
二十三 位军长管理
B. Thirteen Captains Ruling
十二支派和亚伦家
over the Twelve Tribes and the House of Aaron
17十三位军长管理十二支派和亚伦家。（１６～２２。）这里我们该留意，以色列人二十岁以下的，大卫没有数点，因为惧怕耶和华的烈怒。（２３～２４。）大卫数点百姓得罪了神，（撒下二四，）因此他不敢数点年轻的人。三有官长管理王的府库又有官长管理王的府库，并监理王的产业。（代上二七２５～３１。）
17Thirteen captains ruled over the twelve tribes and the house of Aaron (vv. 16-22). Here we should note that David did not take the number of the children of Israel from twenty years old and under because of the fear of the wrath of God (vv. 23-24). David’s numbering of the people had offended God (2 Sam. 24), and thus he did not dare to count the younger ones. C. There Being Officers over the King’s Treasures There were officers over the king’s treasures and overseers of the property that belonged to the king (1 Chron. 27:25-31
四 大卫有谋士、教师、伴友、和他军队的元帅
D. David Having Counselors, Teachers, Friends, and the Captain of His Army
18大卫有谋士、教师、伴友、和他军队的元帅。（３２～３４。）
18David had counselors, teachers, friends, and the captain of his army (vv. 32-34
五 豫表召会里服从基督的权柄和作头
E. Typifying the Submission to the Authority and Headship of Christ in the Church
19在大卫行政里管理的次序，豫表新约召会里服从基督的权柄和作头。（林前十一３，弗四１５。）
19The governmental order in David’sad ministration typifies the submission to the authority and headship of Christ in the church in the New Testament (1 Cor. 11:3; Eph. 4:15
陆 大卫在耶路撒冷
VI. DAVID’S ASSEMBLING AT JERUSALEM
招聚以色列的众首领
ALL THE LEADERS OF ISRAEL
20代上二十八、二十九章记载大卫在耶路撒冷招聚以色列的众首领。
20First Chronicles 28 and 29 are a record of David’s assembling at Jerusalem all the leaders of Israel.
一 他向会众的训言
A. His Address to the Assembly
21二十八章二至八节是大卫向会众的训言。
21In 28:2-8 we have David’sad dress to the assembly
１ 推介他儿子所罗门为建造神殿的人
1. Introducing His Son Solomon to Be the Builder of the Temple of God
22大卫推介他儿子所罗门为建造神殿的人。（２～７。）大卫说，他心里本想为耶和华建造殿宇。然而，耶和华告诉他，他不可为祂的名建造殿宇，他儿子所罗门必建造祂的殿。（２～３，６。）
22David introduced his son Solomon to be the builder of the temple of God (vv. 2-7). David said that he had it in his heart to build a house for Jehovah. However, Jehovah told him that he would not build a house for His name but that Solomon his son would build His house (vv. 2-3, 6
２ 嘱咐他们谨守耶和华的一切诫命
2. Charging Them to Observe All the Commandments of Jehovah
23大卫嘱咐众首领谨守耶和华的一切诫命，使他们可以承受美地，遗留给他们的子孙为业，直到永远。（８。）他们若在神面前行得合宜，就会享受那地，并将那地遗留给他们的子孙为业。
23David charged the leaders to observe all the commandments of Jehovah in order that they might possess the good land and leave it as an inheritance forever to their children (v. 8). If they behaved properly before God, they would enjoy the land and leave the land as an inheritance to their children
二 嘱咐他儿子所罗门事奉神，并且建造神的殿
B. Charging Solomon His Son to Serve God and to Build the Temple of God
24在九至二十一节，大卫嘱咐他儿子所罗门事奉神，并且建造神的殿。他嘱咐所罗门要『全心乐意的事奉祂，因为祂鉴察人的心，知道一切心思意念』。（９。）然后大卫嘱咐所罗门，照著他被灵感动所得的样式，建造神的殿，神必与他同在，并有祭司、利未人、甘心有智慧能办理各样事的人、又有众首领和众民，全心听从他的命令。（１０～２１。）
24In verses 9 through 21 David charged Solomon his son to serve God and to build the temple of God. He charged Solomon to serve God with his ‘‘whole heart and with a willing soul, for Jehovah searches all the hearts and understands every imagination of the thoughts’’ (v. 9). Then David charged Solomon to build the temple of God according to the pattern that he had by the Spirit, having God’s presence, with the priests, the Levites, the willing men with wisdom for any service, the leaders, and all the people wholly at his command (vv. 10-21
三 他为建造神殿所豫备的材料和礼物，
C. His Preparation of the Materials and His Gifts for the Building of the Temple of God
25激动以色列众首领乐意献给神大卫为建造神殿所豫备的材料和礼物，激动以色列众首领乐意为建造祂的殿献上他们的礼物，以致以色列人和大卫王都极为欢乐。（二九１～９。）在这事上，大卫与以色列众首领乃是一。
25Stirring Up the Leaders of Israel to Offer Willingly to God David’s preparation of the materials and his gifts for the building of the temple of God stirred up the leaders of Israel to offer willingly their gifts to God for the building of His temple, so that both the people of Israel and David the king rejoiced with great joy (29:1-9). In this matter David and the leaders of Israel were one
四 他在全会众面前称颂耶和华
D. His Blessing to Jehovah in the Sight of All the Assembly
26十至十九节是大卫在全会众面前称颂耶和华。
26Verses 10 through 19 are David’s blessing to Jehovah in the sight of all the assembly
１ 赞美神
1. Praising God
27首先，大卫赞美神的尊大、能力、光彩、得胜和威严。（10～12。）
27First, David praised God for His greatness, power, splendor, victory, and majesty (vv. 10-12
２称谢神
2). Thanking God
28其次，大卫称谢神，因他和百姓能乐意将他们从神所得的一切献回给神，乃是出于神。（１３～１７。）他们从神得著了这么多，就将他们所得的献回给神，以建造神的殿。
28Next, David thanked God that it was of Him that he and the people could willingly offer back to God all things which they had received from Him (vv. 13-17). They had received so much from God, and what they had received they offered back to God for the building of the house of God
３ 求神
3. Asking God
29大卫继续求神保守并坚定祂民以色列的心，常在这样好的光景中，并赐他儿子所罗门纯全的心，遵守神的命令、法度、律例，成就这一切，建造神的殿宇。（１８～１９。）
29David continued by asking God to keep and establish the heart of His people Israel in this sound condition and give Solomon his son a wholeness of heart to keep God’s commandments, testimonies, and statutes and to do all and build the palace (the temple) of God (vv. 18-19
五 全会众的反应
E. The Response of All the Assembly
30二十至二十五节描述全会众的反应。
30Verses 20 through 25 describe the response of all the assembly
１ 称颂耶和华
1. Blessing Jehovah
31百姓称颂耶和华，向祂献祭，敬拜祂。（２０～２１。）
31The people blessed Jehovah, offered sacrifices to Him, and worshipped Him (vv. 20-21
２ 在耶和华面前吃喝，第二次立大卫的儿子所罗门作王
2. Eating and Drinking before Jehovah and Making Solomon the Son of David King a Second Time
32百姓在耶和华面前吃喝，第二次立大卫的儿子所罗门作王；以色列众人也都听从他，众首领和勇士、并大卫王的众子，都服从所罗门王；耶和华使所罗门在以色列众人眼前甚为尊大，又赐他君王的威严，胜过在他以前的以色列王。（２２～２５。）
32The people ate and drank before Jehovah and made Solomon the son of David king a second time. All Israel obeyed him, with all the leaders and mighty men and all the sons of King David submitting themselves to Solomon the king. Jehovah magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel and bestowed upon him a royal majesty that had never been on any king before him over Israel (vv. 22-25
六 大卫年纪老迈，就死了
F. David Dying at a Good Old Age
33大卫年纪老迈，日子满足，享受丰富尊荣，就死了。（２８。）
33David died at a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor (v. 28).
34虽然我们需要认识这些历史的事实，但关于这些我不是很有负担，因这些不是圣经的中心、实际和目标。圣经的中心、实际和目标乃是神的经纶。神的经纶是神要成为人，为要使人在生命和性情上，但不在神格上，成为神，以产生新耶路撒冷，作三一神的扩增和彰显，直到永远。新耶路撒冷的建造乃是神将祂自己构成到人里面，使人在生命、性情和构成上与神一样，使神与人成为一个团体的实体。
34Although we need to know these historical matters, I do not have much burden concerning them, for they are not the center, the reality, the goal, of the Bible. The center, the reality, and the goal of the Bible is God’s economy. God’s economy is that God would become a man to make man God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead for the producing of the New Jerusalem as the increase and expression of the Triune God for eternity. The New Jerusalem is built by God’s constituting Himself into man to make man the same as God in life, in nature, and in constitution so that God and man may become a corporate entity.
