Apr 07 【每日活水】靠着万军之耶/和/华的名

撒母耳记上17:41~54

大卫击杀歌利亚

41 非利士人也渐渐地迎着大卫来，拿盾牌的走在前头。

42 非利士人观看，见了大卫，就藐视他；因为他年轻，面色光红，容貌俊美。

43 非利士人对大卫说：「你拿杖到我这里来，我岂是狗呢？」非利士人就指着自己的 SHEN 咒诅大卫。

44 非利士人又对大卫说：「来吧！我将你的肉给空中的飞鸟、田野的走兽吃。」

45 大卫对非利士人说：「你来攻击我，是靠着刀枪和铜戟；我来攻击你，是靠着万军之耶/和/华的名，就是你所怒骂带领以色列军队的　 SHEN 。

46 今日耶/和/华必将你交在我手里。我必杀你，斩你的头，又将非利士军兵的尸首给空中的飞鸟、地上的野兽吃，使普天下的人都知道以色列中有　 SHEN ；

47 又使这众人知道耶/和/华使人得胜，不是用刀用枪，因为争战的胜败全在乎耶/和/华。他必将你们交在我们手里。」

48 非利士人起身，迎着大卫前来。大卫急忙迎着非利士人，往战场跑去。

49 大卫用手从囊中掏出一块石子来，用机弦甩去，打中非利士人的额，石子进入额内，他就仆倒，面伏于地。

50 这样，大卫用机弦甩石，胜了那非利士人，打死他；大卫手中却没有刀。

51 大卫跑去，站在非利士人身旁，将他的刀从鞘中拔出来，杀死他，割了他的头。非利士众人看见他们讨战的勇士死了，就都逃跑。

52 以色列人和犹大人便起身呐喊，追赶非利士人，直到迦特和以革伦的城门。被杀的非利士人倒在沙拉音的路上，直到迦特和以革伦。

53 以色列人追赶非利士人回来，就夺了他们的营盘。

54 大卫将那非利士人的头拿到耶路撒冷，却将他军装放在自己的帐棚里。

41 Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David.

42 He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him.

43 He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

44 “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!”

45 David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.

46 This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.

47 All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”

48 As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him.

49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.

50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.

51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.

When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.

52 Then the men of Israel and Judah surged forward with a shout and pursued the Philistines to the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. Their dead were strewn along the Shaaraim road to Gath and Ekron.

53 When the Israelites returned from chasing the Philistines, they plundered their camp.

54 David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem; he put the Philistine’s weapons in his own tent.

内容观察

1. 歌利亚如何看待大卫？（42—43节）

2. 大卫用谁的刀割下歌利亚的头？

思考与默想

3. 歌利亚最终被自己的刀杀死，这背后有什么象征意义？

个人感受

4. 看到歌利亚死在自己的刀下，我有什么感想？

决心与应用

5. 最近，我有没有倚靠什么事物多过倚靠 SHEN ？

6. 为了在感到害怕时，仍然倚靠 SHEN 的名勇敢向前，我决定要怎么做？

他年轻，面色红润，容貌俊美（42节）：大卫当时只是一个双颊红润、长相英俊的小伙子。

大卫手中没有刀（50节）：大卫并未携带兵器上阵。

灵/修指南

歌利亚一开始带着拿盾牌的战士出来迎战大卫，当他看到大卫只是个年轻小伙子，就藐视、看不起他（41—42节）。然而，大卫向非利士人宣告，战争的胜利不是靠着刀枪和铜戟，而是靠着 SHEN 的名（45—47节）。

正式开战后，大卫迅速跑向歌利亚，并用手中的机弦，甩石打中歌利亚的额头，歌利亚立刻倒地不起（49—51节）。此时，战局彻底扭转，原本在两军对峙中屈居劣势的以色列人，反过来追赶非利士人。这场战役让我们看见，并非靠着刀枪就能获得胜利，而是靠着 SHEN 的名才能得胜，因为战争是 SHEN 所掌管。最后，歌利亚被自己的刀割下了头，再次表明，光靠武器并不能获得胜利。

所以，信/徒要明白谁是战争中真正的掌权者。事实上，大卫与歌利亚的武力差距非常悬殊，但 SHEN 的权柄超越一切，而明白这点正是得胜的关键。因此，信/徒面对世间的挑战时，当要满怀信心倚靠 SHEN 的名，成为万军之耶/和/华的精兵。

内室dao告

愿我面对挑战时，满怀信心倚靠 SHEN 的名，成为万军之主的精兵。
