撒母耳记上18：17～30

大卫娶扫罗的女儿

17 扫罗对大卫说：「我将大女儿米拉给你为妻，只要你为我奋勇，为耶/和/华争战。」扫罗心里说：「我不好亲手害他，要藉非利士人的手害他。」

18 大卫对扫罗说：「我是谁，我是什么出身，我父家在以色列中是何等的家，岂敢作王的女婿呢？」

19 扫罗的女儿米拉到了当给大卫的时候，扫罗却给了米何拉人亚得列为妻。

20 扫罗的次女米甲爱大卫。有人告诉扫罗，扫罗就喜悦。

21 扫罗心里说：「我将这女儿给大卫，作他的网罗，好藉非利士人的手害他。」所以扫罗对大卫说：「你今日可以第二次作我的女婿。」

22 扫罗吩咐臣仆说：「你们暗中对大卫说：『王喜悦你，王的臣仆也都喜爱你，所以你当作王的女婿。』」

23 扫罗的臣仆就照这话说给大卫听。大卫说：「你们以为作王的女婿是一件小事吗？我是贫穷卑微的人。」

24 扫罗的臣仆回奏说，大卫所说的如此如此。

25 扫罗说：「你们要对大卫这样说：『王不要什么聘礼，只要一百非利士人的阳皮，好在王的仇敌身上报仇。』」扫罗的意思要使大卫丧在非利士人的手里。

26 扫罗的臣仆将这话告诉大卫，大卫就欢喜作王的女婿。日期还没有到，

27 大卫和跟随他的人起身前往，杀了二百非利士人，将阳皮满数交给王，为要作王的女婿。于是扫罗将女儿米甲给大卫为妻。

28 扫罗见耶/和/华与大卫同在，又知道女儿米甲爱大卫，

29 就更怕大卫，常作大卫的仇敌。

30 每逢非利士军长出来打仗，大卫比扫罗的臣仆做事精明，因此他的名被人尊重。

17 Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage; only serve me bravely and fight the battles of the Lord.” For Saul said to himself, “I will not raise a hand against him. Let the Philistines do that!”

18 But David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my clan in Israel, that I should become the king’s son-in-law?”

19 So when the time came for Merab, Saul’s daughter, to be given to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.

20 Now Saul’s daughter Michal was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased.

21 “I will give her to him,” he thought, “so that she may be a snare to him and so that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “Now you have a second opportunity to become my son-in-law.”

22 Then Saul ordered his attendants: “Speak to David privately and say, ‘Look, the king likes you, and his attendants all love you; now become his son-in-law.’ ”

23 They repeated these words to David. But David said, “Do you think it is a small matter to become the king’s son-in-law? I’m only a poor man and little known.”

24 When Saul’s servants told him what David had said,

25 Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king wants no other price for the bride than a hundred Philistine foreskins, to take revenge on his enemies.’ ” Saul’s plan was to have David fall by the hands of the Philistines.

26 When the attendants told David these things, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. So before the allotted time elapsed,

27 David took his men with him and went out and killed two hundred Philistines and brought back their foreskins. They counted out the full number to the king so that David might become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.

28 When Saul realized that the Lord was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,

29 Saul became still more afraid of him, and he remained his enemy the rest of his days.

30 The Philistine commanders continued to go out to battle, and as often as they did, David met with more success than the rest of Saul’s officers, and his name became well known.

内容观察

1.扫罗两次许诺大卫可以与他的女儿成婚，背后有什么企图？（17，21，25节）

2.大卫听了扫罗臣仆转达的话后，有什么行动？（26—27节）

思考与默想

3.为什么大卫一开始推辞，后来又欢喜作王的女婿？

个人感受

4.看到扫罗一再设局要害大卫，我有什么感想？

决心与应用

5.我何时曾因他人的恶意对待而感到为难？

6.即使自己遭遇他人恶意对待，仍应以善意对待每一个人，为此我决心要怎么做？

一百非利士人的包皮（25节）：以色列的男子出生第八天就会受割礼，而非利士人没有割包皮的习俗。大卫要取得非利士人的包皮，不只过程充满危险，事后也有被追杀的风险。
仇敌（25节），为敌（29节）：扫罗把大卫视为敌人，就像他视非利士人为敌人。

灵/修指南

扫罗承诺将大女儿米拉许配给大卫的同时，也要求大卫完全效忠自己。但这其实是想害大卫在战场上死在非利士人手里。不过，在扫罗的算计下，大卫最终也没能与米拉结婚（17—19节）。当扫罗得知二女儿米甲喜欢大卫，便又承诺让大卫作他的女婿，只要大卫以一百非利士人的包皮作聘礼。然而，这又是扫罗想让大卫在非利士人手下受害的阴谋（20—25节）。不过，与扫罗的计谋相背，大卫杀死了两百非利士人，并将包皮足数交付扫罗。大卫不但与米甲结婚，并且因能力出众而受人敬重；扫罗则愈发惧怕大卫，处处与他作对，并离 SHEN 愈来愈远。我们看见，大卫在面对扫罗恶意的对待时，仍然以善意来回应，持守信靠 SHEN 的人应有的生命样式，因此 SHEN 保守他平安度过每一次的危机。愿我们效法大卫良善的心，即使面对恶意和危机仍全然靠主，活出善待他人的生命。
