May 16【每日活水】恳求 SHEN 的帮助

撒母耳记上29：1～11

非利士人不要大卫

1 非利士人将他们的军旅聚到亚弗；以色列人在耶斯列的泉旁安营。

2非利士人的首领各率军队，或百或千，挨次前进；大卫和跟随他的人同着亚吉跟在后边。

3非利士人的首领说：「这些希伯来人在这里做什么呢？」亚吉对他们说：「这不是以色列王扫罗的臣子大卫吗？他在我这里有些年日了。自从他投降我直到今日，我未曾见他有过错。」

4 非利士人的首领向亚吉发怒，对他说：「你要叫这人回你所安置他的地方，不可叫他同我们出战，恐怕他在阵上反为我们的敌人。他用什么与他主人复和呢？岂不是用我们这些人的首级吗？

5从前以色列的妇女跳舞唱和说：『扫罗杀死千千，大卫杀死万万』，所说的不是这个大卫吗？」

6 亚吉叫大卫来，对他说：「我指着永生的耶/和/华起誓，你是正直人。你随我在军中出入，我看你甚好。自从你投奔我到如今，我未曾见你有什么过失；只是众首领不喜悦你。

7现在你可以平平安安地回去，免得非利士人的首领不欢喜你。」

8大卫对亚吉说：「我做了什么呢？自从仆人到你面前，直到今日，你查出我有什么过错，使我不去攻击主－我王的仇敌呢？」

9亚吉说：「我知道你在我眼前是好人，如同　 SHEN 的使者一般；只是非利士人的首领说：『这人不可同我们出战。』

10故此你和跟随你的人，就是你本主的仆人，要明日早晨起来，等到天亮回去吧！」

11于是大卫和跟随他的人早晨起来，回往非利士地去。非利士人也上耶斯列去了。

Achish Sends David Back to Ziklag

1The Philistines gathered all their forces at Aphek, and Israel camped by the spring in Jezreel.

2As the Philistine rulers marched with their units of hundreds and thousands, David and his men were marching at the rear with Achish.

3The commanders of the Philistines asked, “What about these Hebrews?” Achish replied, “Is this not David, who was an officer of Saul king of Israel? He has already been with me for over a year, and from the day he left Saul until now, I have found no fault in him.”

4But the Philistine commanders were angry with Achish and said, “Send the man back, that he may return to the place you assigned him. He must not go with us into battle, or he will turn against us during the fighting. How better could he regain his master’s favor than by taking the heads of our own men?

5Isn’t this the David they sang about in their dances:“ ‘Saul has slain his thousands,

and David his tens of thousands’?”

6So Achish called David and said to him, “As surely as the Lord lives, you have been reliable, and I would be pleased to have you serve with me in the army. From the day you came to me until today, I have found no fault in you, but the rulers don’t approve of you.

7Now turn back and go in peace; do nothing to displease the Philistine rulers.”

8“But what have I done?” asked David. “What have you found against your servant from the day I came to you until now? Why can’t I go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”

9Achish answered, “I know that you have been as pleasing in my eyes as an angel of God; nevertheless, the Philistine commanders have said, ‘He must not go up with us into battle.’

10Now get up early, along with your master’s servants who have come with you, and leave in the morning as soon as it is light.”

11So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines, and the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

内容观察

1.非利士的领袖看到大卫和亚吉一起出现在战场上，有什么反应？（3～5节）

2.亚吉要求大卫怎么做？（7，10节）

思考与默想

3.大卫为什么没有和以色列人兵戎相见？

个人感受

4.看到 SHEN 没有让大卫对以色列持刀相向，为其预备好退路，我有什么感想？

决心与应用

5.我何时曾在进退两难的情况下得着 SHEN 的帮助？

6.为了在走投无路之际信靠并祈求 SHEN 的帮助，我具体决定怎么做？

非利士人的领袖（3节）：当时的非利士联盟由五个城镇组成，重要议题都透过领袖会议来决定。亚吉叫大卫来 ……我未曾看见你有什么过失（6节）：亚吉王一直认为大卫是个信实忠心之人。

灵/修指南

非利士人为了对战以色列而在亚弗集结，大卫和亚吉一起跟在后面（1—2节）。非利士人的领袖见此颇感不悦，他们认为大卫有可能阵前倒戈（3—5节）。亚吉尊重领袖们的意见，于是劝大卫回去。大卫内心窃喜，但表面上佯装委屈（6—8节）因为大卫一旦参战，就势必要与本族以色列人持刀相向，伤害自己的手足同胞。另一方面，如果他不愿意对付以色列人，非利士人就知道他是假意效忠。这时，全知全能的 SHEN 用 TA 的主权拯救了大卫，而这样的事也同样发生在今天的信/徒身上。可以肯定的是， SHEN 总是引导我们走最美善的路。当我们的人生陷入困境，要时刻铭记 SHEN 会用 TA 大能的手帮助我们，因为我们的人生始终在 SHEN 的掌管之中。

内室dao告

求 SHEN 帮助我铭记，无论面对任何处境， SHEN 都会用 TA 大能的手帮助我，使我活出信心。
