旧约 - 列王记上(1 Kings)第9章

And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.
And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?
And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,
(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.
And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.
And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.
And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.
And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
列王纪上第九章   第 9 章 

  9:4-9 这是神第二次向所罗门显现,第一次是在基遍( 3:4-15 )。关于神对大卫和他后裔的伟大应许,请参看 2 章 3 至 4 节的注释。 

  所罗门的建造计划 

  王上 9:11-14> 有的事很难有绝对的公平合理,利益常使人忘记所得的福分,我呢? 

  9:11-14 所罗门对推罗王希兰是否不公平呢?很难下定论。从这几节经文中看不出所罗门是将这几座城送给希兰,还是用其作抵押,直到他能够还清向希兰所借的金子为止。历代志下第 8 章 1 , 2 两 节暗指希兰将这些城邑又归还所罗门。不管怎样,希兰可能喜欢得到沿海的一块地,因其适于经商贸易(他称这些城邑为“迦步勒( Cabul ) " ,这个名字在希伯来文中听起来好像是 " 毫无用处 " 的意思)。后来希兰因与所罗门一同经商,获利甚丰(参代下 9:10 , 21 )。由于腓尼基人与以色列人友好,并靠他们输出谷物与油,所以希兰与所罗门的关系比其他分封的公侯更重要。 

  王上 9:16> 藉联姻得回土地管治权,似乎不错,但…… 

  9:16 此时的以色列与埃及是近东强国。基色虽然在以色列的境内,多年来却受制于埃及,在所罗门时代,法老将这个城邑给他的女儿作嫁妆,所罗门娶她为后,这城就交给以色列人管治。国际间王室通婚虽属常事,但神并不称许所罗门这门婚姻(参申 17:17 )。──《灵修版圣经注释》
