Feb24【每日活水】见证至高真 SHEN 的权柄及作为

撒母耳记上 5:1~5:12

约柜在非利士人当中

1 非利士人将　 SHEN 的约柜从以便以谢抬到亚实突。

2非利士人将　 SHEN 的约柜抬进大衮庙，放在大衮的旁边。

3次日清早，亚实突人起来，见大衮仆倒在耶/和/华的约柜前，脸伏于地，就把大衮仍立在原处。

4又次日清早起来，见大衮仆倒在耶/和/华的约柜前，脸伏于地，并且大衮的头和两手都在门槛上折断，只剩下大衮的残体。

（ 5因此，大衮的祭司和一切进亚实突、大衮庙的人都不踏大衮庙的门槛，直到今日。）

6耶/和/华的手重重加在亚实突人身上，败坏他们，使他们生痔疮。亚实突和亚实突的四境都是如此。

7亚实突人见这光景，就说：「以色列　 SHEN 的约柜不可留在我们这里，因为他的手重重加在我们和我们 SHEN 大衮的身上」

8就打发人去请非利士的众首领来聚集，问他们说：「我们向以色列　 SHEN 的约柜应当怎样行呢？」他们回答说：「可以将以色列　 SHEN 的约柜运到迦特去。」于是将以色列　 SHEN 的约柜运到那里去。

9运到之后，耶/和/华的手攻击那城，使那城的人大大惊慌，无论大小都生痔疮。

10他们就把　 SHEN 的约柜送到以革伦。　 SHEN 的约柜到了，以革伦人就喊嚷起来说：「他们将以色列　 SHEN 的约柜运到我们这里，要害我们和我们的众民！」

11于是打发人去请非利士的众首领来，说：「愿你们将以色列　 SHEN 的约柜送回原处，免得害了我们和我们的众民！」原来　 SHEN 的手重重攻击那城，城中的人有因惊慌而死的。

12未曾死的人都生了痔疮。合城呼号，声音上达于天。

The Ark in Ashdod and Ekron

1After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

2Then they carried the ark into Dagon’s temple and set it beside Dagon.

3When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place.

4But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained.

5That is why to this day neither the priests of Dagon nor any others who enter Dagon’s temple at Ashdod step on the threshold.

6The Lord’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation on them and afflicted them with tumors.

7When the people of Ashdod saw what was happening, they said, “The ark of the god of Israel must not stay here with us, because his hand is heavy on us and on Dagon our god.”

8So they called together all the rulers of the Philistines and asked them, “What shall we do with the ark of the god of Israel?” They answered, “Have the ark of the god of Israel moved to Gath.” So they moved the ark of the God of Israel.

9But after they had moved it, the Lord’s hand was against that city, throwing it into a great panic. He afflicted the people of the city, both young and old, with an outbreak of tumors.

10So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. As the ark of God was entering Ekron, the people of Ekron cried out, “They have brought the ark of the god of Israel around to us to kill us and our people.”

11So they called together all the rulers of the Philistines and said, “Send the ark of the god of Israel away; let it go back to its own place, or it will kill us and our people.” For death had filled the city with panic; God’s hand was very heavy on it.

12Those who did not die were afflicted with tumors, and the outcry of the city went up to heaven.

大衰（2节）：非利士人奉祀的主 SHEN ，据推测，非利士人视其为掌管丰收的 SHEN 明。

痔疮（6节）：又作“肿胀的疮”，对患病者造成极大痛苦。

灵/修指南

非利士人从以色列人手中掳走 SHEN 的约柜之后，将约柜放在亚实突城中的大衮庙里，这是为了炫耀他们的 SHEN 明大衮战胜了以色列人的 SHEN 。然而， SHEN 并没有放任他们耀武扬威，反倒两次让大衮的 SHEN 像仆倒、俯伏在约柜前，甚至大衮的头部和两手都被折断（3—4节）。并且， SHEN 降灾使亚实突和周围的人身上都长疮。非利士人在恐惧中将约柜运到迦特，结果使城中的人也遭遇灾病。接着，他们将约柜转送到以革伦，导致城中弥漫死亡的恐惧，人们遭受灾病的折磨（8～10节）。虽然 SHEN 的约柜被掳走，流落在非利士人的城镇间，但 SHEN 却借此在非利士人中间彰显自己的能力及荣耀。最后，不认识 SHEN 的非利士人，遭受了 SHEN 严酷的审判，而 SHEN 则显明了自己是至高真 SHEN 。生活在现今的我们，应要懂得分辨 SHEN 的作为，并为了彰显 TA 的能力和荣耀而活。

内室祷/告

求 SHEN 帮助我分辨 TA 的作为，并且在生活中见证 TA 的能力及荣耀。
