旧约 - 历代记下(2 Chronicles)第8章

And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,
That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it.
And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,
But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.
And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
历代志下第八章   第 8 章 

  代下 8:11> 明知道自己所作的不蒙神喜悦,却企图蒙混过去;我是否也…… 

  8:11 所罗门娶埃及的公主,好与埃及结为军事同盟,不过,他不让这个妻子住在大卫的王宫里,因为神的约柜曾放在那地方,这暗示所罗门知道,他娶外邦女子为妻并不讨神喜悦。他还娶了许多外邦妻子,与神的律法背道而驰(参申 7:3-4 ),这些女子敬拜假神,终必污染国人的信仰与习俗。最后,所罗门的异教妃嫔果然为他带来败亡(参王上 11:1-11 )。 

  代下 8:15> 城墙可由细小的破口开始崩塌,若我轻看罪,则防护我生命的城墙也会有崩塌的一天…… 

  8:15 所罗门建殿与献祭都小心翼翼地遵照神的旨意( 8:13 ),可是对于神禁止娶外邦女子的吩咐,他却不肯遵循,犯了娶外邦女子之罪( 8:11 ),从此偏离神。不管我们的生活是怎样属灵,只要有一小部分不肯顺服神,就会使我们迈向败坏之途。要警惕你生命的每一个方面,特别是与人的关系更须谨慎,不可让罪有机可乘。──《灵修版圣经注释》
