Apr24【每日活水】放下私欲，安慰软弱的人

撒母耳记上22：11～23

11 王就打发人将祭司亚希突的儿子亚希米勒和他父亲的全家，就是住挪伯的祭司都召了来；他们就来见王。

12 扫罗说：「亚希突的儿子，要听我的话！」他回答说：「主啊，我在这里。」

13 扫罗对他说：「你为什么与耶西的儿子结党害我，将食物和刀给他，又为他求问　 SHEN ，使他起来谋害我，就如今日的光景？」

14 亚希米勒回答王说：「王的臣仆中有谁比大卫忠心呢？他是王的女婿，又是王的参谋，并且在王家中是尊贵的。

15 我岂是从今日才为他求问　 SHEN 呢？断不是这样！王不要将罪归我和我父的全家；因为这事，无论大小，仆人都不知道。」

16 王说：「亚希米勒啊，你和你父的全家都是该死的！」

17 王就吩咐左右的侍卫说：「你们去杀耶/和/华的祭司；因为他们帮助大卫，又知道大卫逃跑，竟没有告诉我。」扫罗的臣子却不肯伸手杀耶/和/华的祭司。

18 王吩咐多益说：「你去杀祭司吧！」以东人多益就去杀祭司，那日杀了穿细麻布以弗得的八十五人；

19 又用刀将祭司城挪伯中的男女、孩童、吃奶的，和牛、羊、驴尽都杀灭。

20 亚希突的儿子亚希米勒有一个儿子，名叫亚比亚他，逃到大卫那里。

21 亚比亚他将扫罗杀耶/和/华祭司的事告诉大卫。

22 大卫对亚比亚他说：「那日我见以东人多益在那里，就知道他必告诉扫罗。你父的全家丧命，都是因我的缘故。

23 你可以住在我这里，不要惧怕。因为寻索你命的就是寻索我的命；你在我这里可得保全。」

11 Then the king sent for the priest Ahimelek son of Ahitub and all the men of his family, who were the priests at Nob, and they all came to the king.

12 Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.”
“Yes, my lord,” he answered.

13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, giving him bread and a sword and inquiring of God for him, so that he has rebelled against me and lies in wait for me, as he does today?”

14 Ahimelek answered the king, “Who of all your servants is as loyal as David, the king’s son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard and highly respected in your household?

15 Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father’s family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair.”

16 But the king said, “You will surely die, Ahimelek, you and your whole family.”

17 Then the king ordered the guards at his side: “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, because they too have sided with David. They knew he was fleeing, yet they did not tell me.”
But the king’s officials were unwilling to raise a hand to strike the priests of the Lord.

18 The king then ordered Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests.” So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck them down. That day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.

19 He also put to the sword Nob, the town of the priests, with its men and women, its children and infants, and its cattle, donkeys and sheep.

20 But one son of Ahimelek son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled to join David.

21 He told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord.

22 Then David said to Abiathar, “That day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, I knew he would be sure to tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of your whole family.

23 Stay with me; don’t be afraid. The man who wants to kill you is trying to kill me too. You will be safe with me.”

灵/修指南

扫罗听到多益说，祭司亚希米勒帮助大卫逃亡，便将亚希米勒和挪伯的祭司都召来。扫罗认为亚希米勒与大卫是共谋，于是下令杀死挪伯所有的祭司及其他居民，甚至连牲畜也不放过。出于对大卫的憎恨，以及对王位的执着，扫罗利用自己手中的权力，作出不公不义的事。这时，大卫接纳了死里逃生的亚希米勒之子亚比亚他，也承认祭司们是因他的谎言而受害，同时承诺保护亚比亚他的安全（23节）。扫罗自从 SHEN 的灵离开他，便犯了扭曲真理和事实、任意而为的错误。所以，信/徒应该从一开始就扑灭憎恨和私欲的火苗，并且为了不被憎恨和私欲所左右，应该用 SHEN 的话语省察自己，也要看顾受伤软弱之人。我是否曾带给他人伤害和痛苦？盼望我们靠着主的心意得恢复，并活出带给他人盼望和医治的人生。

内室dao告

求主帮助我成为弱者的避风港、受苦者的安慰，为灰心的人带来盼望。
