Apr 18【每日活水】放下私欲，顺从 SHEN 旨意

撒母耳记上20：24～34

24 大卫就去藏在田野。到了初一日，王坐席要吃饭。

25 王照常坐在靠墙的位上，约拿单侍立，押尼珥坐在扫罗旁边，大卫的座位空设。

26 然而这日扫罗没有说什么，他想大卫遇事，偶染不洁，他必定是不洁。

27 初二日大卫的座位还空设。扫罗问他儿子约拿单说：「耶西的儿子为何昨日、今日没有来吃饭呢？」

28 约拿单回答扫罗说：「大卫切求我容他往伯利恒去。

29 他说：『求你容我去，因为我家在城里有献/祭的事；我长兄吩咐我去。如今我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你容我去见我的弟兄』；所以大卫没有赴王的席。」

30 扫罗向约拿单发怒，对他说：「你这顽梗悖逆之妇人所生的，我岂不知道你喜悦耶西的儿子，自取羞辱，以致你母亲露体蒙羞吗？

31 耶西的儿子若在世间活着，你和你的国位必站立不住。现在你要打发人去，将他捉拿交给我；他是该死的。」

32 约拿单对父亲扫罗说：「他为什么该死呢？他做了什么呢？」

33 扫罗向约拿单抡枪要刺他，约拿单就知道他父亲决意要杀大卫。

34 于是约拿单气忿忿地从席上起来，在这初二日没有吃饭。他因见父亲羞辱大卫，就为大卫愁烦。

24 So David hid in the field, and when the New Moon feast came, the king sat down to eat.

25 He sat in his customary place by the wall, opposite Jonathan, and Abner sat next to Saul, but David’s place was empty.

26 Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, “Something must have happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—surely he is unclean.”

27 But the next day, the second day of the month, David’s place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan, “Why hasn’t the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”

28 Jonathan answered, “David earnestly asked me for permission to go to Bethlehem.

29 He said, ‘Let me go, because our family is observing a sacrifice in the town and my brother has ordered me to be there. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away to see my brothers.’ That is why he has not come to the king’s table.”

30 Saul’s anger flared up at Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don’t I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of the mother who bore you?

31 As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send someone to bring him to me, for he must die!”

32 “Why should he be put to death? What has he done?” Jonathan asked his father.

33 But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.

34 Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the feast he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father’s shameful treatment of David.

内容观察

1．扫罗如何看待大卫？（30～31节）

2．确认了扫罗心意的约拿单有何反应？（32～34节）

思考与默想

3．为什么扫罗和约拿单会对大卫表现出截然不同的态度？

个人感受

4．看到扫罗因贪恋王位，违抗 SHEN 的旨意，我有什么感想？

决心与应用

5．有什么事是我明知 SHEN 不喜悦，却仍旧按自己的想法和欲望去做的？

6．为了放下自己的私欲，做 SHEN 所喜悦的事，我具体决定怎么做？

偶染不洁（26节）：意思是偶然使自己沾染宗教礼仪上的不洁净。按律/法的规定，这样的人在得洁净前，不能参与宗教活动。

你这顽梗悖逆之妇人所生的·····也使你母亲露体蒙羞呢（30节）：意思是将约拿单的出生视为其母亲的羞耻，这是极度厌恶和羞辱的话语。显明扫罗不接受约拿单信赖朋友超过自己的父亲，这也赤裸裸地显示，人若被贪婪和权力捆绑，甚至会失去判断力。

灵/修指南

时至初二，大卫的座位已连空了两天，扫罗便向约拿单问起大卫，而约拿单说自已已经允许大卫回去参加家族的献/祭。对此，扫罗怒气大发，认为约拿单此举妨碍了他杀害大卫的计划。扫罗认为，若要维系自己家族的王座，就必须要除掉大卫（27～31节）；约拿单则认为大卫没有做错任何事，不该遭受如此对待。面对这样的矛盾，扫罗甚至想要连约拿单也一起杀了。于是，约拿单确认了扫罗的不义之心，并为大卫感到哀痛愁烦（32—34节）。扫罗和约拿单形成的鲜明对比，让我们看见两种面对 SHEN 旨意的态度。本该跟随 SHEN 旨意的扫罗王，竟被贪心蒙蔽了双眼，明知 SHEN 的旨意如此，却仍然抗拒。相反地，约拿单面对 SHEN 的旨意，选择了顺从和服事他人。信/徒不应该被自己的私欲蒙蔽双眼，丧失判断力，而要过合乎 SHEN 旨意的生活，才能蒙 SHEN 的赞许。

内室dao告

求 SHEN 帮助我在生活中不随从自己的私欲，而是明白和顺从 SHEN 的旨意而活。
