旧约 - 历代记上(1 Chronicles)第5章

Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.
For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)
The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,
Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baalmeon:
And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.
And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead.
And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salcah:
Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.
These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;
Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.
And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.
All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.
And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.
And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.
For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.
And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.
And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.
And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.
And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.
历代志上第五章   第 5 章 

  代上 5:1> 犯罪的结果原是要向神,向人负责的,而我的生活…… 

  5:1 圣经记载吕便犯乱伦之罪,成为后人的警戒。如此写下他的墓志铭,并不是要羞辱他的名声,而是说明犯罪不仅给人留下痛苦的回忆,罪的苦果更能败坏人的一生。吕便本来是雅各的长子,有权继承父亲的双分产业,又可以率领亚伯拉罕的后裔,那已经成长壮大了的支派。但是他犯了罪,长子名分和特权都被剥夺且祸及整个家族。在你受试探、遇引诱的时候,你要仔细思量,认清罪会苦害你和别人的一生,后果是极其悲惨的。 

  代上 5:2> “君王由他而出”意指…… 

  5:2 从犹大支派所出的君王,指大卫与他的王族谱系,也是指大卫最显赫的后裔,就是弥赛亚耶稣。 

  代上 5:18-22> 有能力的人要靠神,那么我呢? 

  5:18-22 吕便、迦得与玛拿西支派的人英勇善战,是因为他们倚靠神。他们虽然有军人本色、能征善战,仍然祷告寻求神的引导。神赐给我们先天和后天的才能为祂使用,绝不是要我们以此不倚靠祂。我们若靠聪明、才干和力量而不倚靠神,就会骄傲自大。遭遇困境时,我们理当寻求神的旨意,求祂的引领,赐下能力,诗篇说:“有人靠车,有人靠马,但我们要提到耶和华我们神的名。”(诗 20:7 ) 

  代上 5:22> 被掳者为什么不能回归?原来…… 

  5:22 这里所提被掳之人,是指在公元前 722 年被掳往亚述的北国以色列的十个支派。他们从此一直没有回到故土(这事记在王下 15:29-17:41 )。 

  代上 5:24-25> 有说信徒皆为祭司,祭司的职责又是什么? 

  5:24-25 这些族长是大能的勇士,因文韬武略,统领有方而负盛名。但是在神眼中,他们缺少最重要的美德──对神的忠心。如果你想在社会上追名逐利,可能也会忽略人生的真义,就是讨神喜悦、全心顺服祂。最终,神要察看我们的内心,判断我们一生的功过。──《灵修版圣经注释》
