撒母耳记下第18章

《圣经》撒母耳记下-第18章

撒下18:1 大卫数点跟随他的人，立千夫长、百夫长率领他们。

†[吕]大卫点阅了跟随的众人，又立了千夫长百夫长去率领他们。

†[思]达味检阅了跟随他的人，给他们委派了千夫长和百夫长，

†[当代]大卫检阅军队后，设立了千夫长和百夫长率领他们。

†[新译]大卫数点了跟随他的人，亦立千夫长、百夫长率领他们。

†[Wlb]大卫核其所偕之民、立千夫长、百夫长以率之、

†[Xdv]大卫王集合所有跟从他的人，把他们分为以一千人和一百人为单位的队伍，每单位有军官指挥，

†[Kjv]And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds over them.

†[Nkjv]And David numbered the people who were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.

†[BBE]And David had the people who were with him numbered, and he put over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.

†[GNT] King David brought all his men together, divided them into units of a thousand and of a hundred, and placed officers in command of them.

†[NIV]David mustered the men who were with him and appointed over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.

本会注释　　数点跟从他的人。大卫集合人员，为迫近的攻击组织队伍。人们不断聚集到他那里，需要编入已有的部队或组建新的部队。

撒下18:2 大卫打发军兵出战，分为三队：一队在约押手下，一队在洗鲁雅的儿子、约押兄弟亚比筛手下，一队在迦特人以太手下。大卫对军兵说：“我必与你们一同出战。” (串)撒下15:19

†[吕]大卫打发兵众出去，三分之一在约押手下，三分之一在洗鲁雅的儿子、约押的兄弟、亚比筛手下，三分之一在迦特人以太手下。王对兵众说：“我也必和你们一同出战。”

†[思]将军人分为叁队：一队由约阿布率领，一队由责鲁特的儿子，约阿布的兄弟阿彼瑟率领，一队由加特人依泰率领；然后君王对军人说：“我自己也要同你们一起出征”。

†[当代]他把兵分成三队出战，一队由约押率领，一队由约押的兄弟亚比筛率领，一队由迦特人以太率领。他本来打算亲身统领军队的，但这念头却遭到部下激烈反对。

†[新译]大卫派遣众人出战：三分之一在约押手下，三分之一在约押的兄弟、洗鲁雅的儿子亚比筛手下，三分之一在迦特人以太手下。大卫对众人说：“我也必与你们一同出战。”

†[Wlb]大卫遣民出战、分之为三、以一委约押、以一委洗鲁雅子、约押弟亚比筛、以一委迦特人以太、王曰、我亦必与尔偕往、

†[Xdv]然后把他们编成三大队，分别由约押、约押的弟弟亚比筛，和迦特人以太带领出发。王对他的手下说：“我自己也要跟你们上阵。”

†[Kjv]And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.

†[Nkjv]Then David sent out one third of the people under the hand of Joab, one third under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, "I also will surely go out with you myself."

†[BBE]And David sent the people out, a third of them under the orders of Joab, and a third under the orders of Abishai, son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, And I myself will certainly go out with you.

†[GNT] Then he sent them out in three groups, with Joab and Joab's brother Abishai and Ittai from Gath, each in command of a group. And the king said to his men, "I will go with you myself."

†[NIV]David sent the troops out-a third under the command of Joab, a third under Joab's brother Abishai son of Zeruiah, and a third under Ittai the Gittite. The king told the troops, "I myself will surely march out with you."

本会注释　　三队。军队分成三个部分。每部分有多少人并没有透露。有人认为总共只有3,000人，每队1,000人，但这种说法没有根据。将军队分为三部分似乎在希伯来人中很常见（见士7:16；9:43；撒上11:11）。
　　在约押手下。约押是元帅，在大卫之下。他的名字总是列在这三个将领之首（见5,12节），显然被公认为是总司令（10,16,20,21,29节）。当大卫初次夺取耶路撒冷时，约押成了军队的“首领”（代上11:6）。在大卫作王的最后，他仍是最高统帅（撒下24:2；代上27:34）。
　　迦特人以太。以太来自非利士的迦特城，是最近才来到以色列加入大卫部队的（撒下15:19-21）。他已接受希伯来人的信仰，并证明自己既忠于大卫又忠于以色列的上帝（见《先祖与先知》732页）。
　　必出战。大卫的事业面临着极大的危机，但他丝毫没有缺乏勇气。他愿意与跟从他的人遭受同样的危险，甚至更大的危险。

撒下18:3 军兵却说：“你不可出战。若是我们逃跑，敌人必不介意；我们阵亡一半，敌人也不介意。因为你一人强似我们万人，你不如在城里预备帮助我们。” (串)撒下21:17

†[吕]兵众却说：“你不可出战；因为我们若逃跑，他们也不会注意我们；我们若死了一半，他们也不会注意我们；因为你一人（传统：现在）就于我们一万人；你一人还是从城里帮助我们好。”

†[思]军人回答说：“你万不可去！因为若我们逃散，无人对我们介意，既使我们死了一半，也无人对我们介意；但是，你一个却抵我们一万，所以，现今你更好留在城内，设法援助我们”。

†[当代]他们说：“请陛下不要出战。因为如果我们打败了逃跑，甚至一半人阵亡，敌方也不会关心，他们注意的就只是陛下一个人。对他们来说，陛下一人比我们一万人更宝贵。陛下还是留在城中，预备随时派兵支援我们吧。”

†[新译]众人却说：“你不可以出战。因为如果我们逃跑，他们不会把我们放在心上，即使我们死了一半，他们也不会把我们放在心上。因为你一个人抵得上我们一万人；所以你最好还是留在城里，随时支援我们。”

†[Wlb]民曰、尔不可往、如我逃遁、敌不以我为意、死亡者半、敌亦不以为意、惟尔一人、可当我万、尔自城助我尤善、

†[Xdv]他们说：“你绝不可跟我们上阵；如果我们败退逃跑，甚至于半数的人都被杀死了，敌人是不在乎的；但是你一个人抵得上我们一万人，你最好留在城里，随时策应我们。”

†[Kjv]But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.

†[Nkjv]But the people answered, "You shall not go out! For if we flee away, they will not care about us; nor if half of us die, will they care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us now. For you are now more help to us in the city."

†[BBE]But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better for you to be ready to come to our help from this town.

†[GNT] "You mustn't go with us," they answered. "It won't make any difference to the enemy if the rest of us turn and run, or even if half of us are killed; but you are worth ten thousand of us. It will be better if you stay here in the city and send us help."

†[NIV]But the men said, "You must not go out; if we are forced to flee, they won't care about us. Even if half of us die, they won't care; but you are worth ten thousand of us. It would be better now for you to give us support from the city."

本会注释　　不可出战。军兵们看出在这种情况下大卫与他们一同出战的妨碍大于帮助。如果敌军知道大卫与他的人同在，就会尽力对付他本人。如果大卫被杀，押沙龙就会达到他的目的。所以军兵们强烈要求大卫不在战场出现。
　　你强似。在大多数希伯来手稿中，这个句子直译是：“目前象我们（有）一万人。”钦定本的翻译来自七十士译本、亚兰文译本、拉丁文武加大译本和两份希伯来文手稿。本句两种说法在希伯来原文中只有一个字母之差。
　　在城里。大卫与后备部队一起留在城里，就可以利用这场战争的任何转机。如果形势对他的部下不利，他就能派遣援军。无论战争发生什么转变，军队都会知道他们的统帅是安全的。他留在坚固城里会成为他们作战时力量与士气的源头，激发他们勇敢奋战。

撒下18:4 王向他们说：“你们以为怎样好，我就怎样行。”于是王站在城门旁，军兵或百或千地挨次出去了。

†[吕]王对他们说：“你们看怎么好，我就怎么行好啦。”于是王站在城门旁；兵众成百成千地出去。

†[思]君王对他们说：“你们看看怎样好，我就怎样做”。君王站在门旁，军人整队出发，或百人一阻，或千人一组？

†[当代]“好！你们认为怎样好，我就照你们的意见做吧！”于是大卫王就站在城门旁边，看著军队按照次序出城去了。

†[新译]王对他们说：“你们看怎么好，我就怎样作吧！”于是王站在城门旁边，众人组成百人一队或千人一队出发了。

†[Wlb]王曰、尔所视为善者、我必行之、王乃立于门侧、民众或百或千、分队而出、

†[Xdv]王说：“你们认为怎样好，我就怎样做吧。”于是他站在城门旁边，目送他的军队，一千、一百的挨次出发。

†[Kjv]And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.

†[Nkjv]Then the king said to them, "Whatever seems best to you I will do." So the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.

†[BBE]And the king said to them, I will do whatever seems best to you. So the king took his place by the door of the town, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.

†[GNT] "I will do whatever you think best," the king answered. Then he stood by the side of the gate as his men marched out in units of a thousand and of a hundred.

†[NIV]The king answered, "I will do whatever seems best to you." So the king stood beside the gate while all the men marched out in units of hundreds and of thousands.

本会注释　　你们以为怎样好。在这种情况下，军队的忠告比王的旨意好。大卫也认识到这一点。他没有轻率地坚持与他的部下一同出战，反而接受了他们的请求，表示他愿意照着他们的意思办。大卫实际上可能高兴留在后方，因为在战场上与他儿子直接交锋对他来说是很尴尬的。

撒下18:5 王嘱咐约押、亚比筛、以太说：“你们要为我的缘故宽待那少年人押沙龙。”王为押沙龙嘱咐众将的话，兵都听见了。

†[吕]王吩咐约押、亚比筛、以太说：“你们要为我的缘故轻轻处置孩子押沙龙。”关于押沙龙的事王吩咐众将军的话、兵众都听见了。

†[思]君王命令约阿布、阿阿彼瑟和依泰说：“对少年阿贝沙隆，你们应给我留情”。军人都听见了君王关于阿贝沙隆，给众将领所出的命令。

†[当代]大卫王特别吩咐约押、亚比筛和以太说：“为了我的缘故，你们要对年轻的押沙龙手下留情。”全体的军兵都听见了大卫这吩咐。

†[新译]王吩咐约押、亚比筛和以太说：“为我的缘故，你们要宽待那年轻人押沙龙。”王为押沙龙吩咐众将领的话，众人都听到了。

†[Wlb]王命约押亚比筛以太曰、尔缘我故、宽待少者押沙龙、王为押沙龙嘱诸将、民悉闻之、

†[Xdv]王命令约押、亚比筛，和以太说：“为我的缘故，你们不要伤害那年轻人押沙龙。”全部兵士都听见大卫对他的将领所下的命令。

†[Kjv]And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.

†[Nkjv]Now the king had commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, saying, "Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom." And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains orders concerning Absalom.

†[BBE]And the king gave orders to Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Because of me, be gentle to the young man Absalom. And this order about Absalom was given in the hearing of all the people.

†[GNT] He gave orders to Joab, Abishai, and Ittai: "For my sake don't harm the young man Absalom." And all the troops heard David give this command to his officers.

†[NIV]The king commanded Joab, Abishai and Ittai, "Be gentle with the young man Absalom for my sake." And all the troops heard the king giving orders concerning Absalom to each of the commanders.

本会注释　　嘱咐约押。约押作为元帅带着他的部下第一个来到。他经过时，大卫给了他临别的指示。这是与他亲生的儿子作战，押沙龙必被击败，否则大卫就会丧失王位和性命。但是在战斗开始时，大卫柔软的心肠涌出了对他儿子的爱与怜悯。他最后对约押说的话是要宽待这场叛乱的领导者押沙龙。当时似乎大卫宁愿丧失自己的性命和国度也不愿看到他邪恶的儿子受到伤害。大卫对这个给国家带来这么多痛苦和患难之人的父爱，只能加强了约押和他的手下对押沙龙的怀恨（见《先祖与先知》743页）。

撒下18:6 兵就出到田野迎着以色列人，在以法莲树林里交战。 (串)书17:15,18

†[吕]兵众出到田野去对以色列人接战；战事就在以法莲的森林里。

†[思]军人出发，来到平原，攻打以色列；在厄弗辣因森林发生了战事。

†[当代]军队在以法莲的丛林里跟以色列人展开遭遇战。

†[新译]众人出到田野迎战以色列人；战争发生在以法莲的树林里。

†[Wlb]于是民出至田、以迎以色列众、战于以法莲林、

†[Xdv]大卫的军队出去到田野跟以色列军队在以法莲森林里打仗。

†[Kjv]So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;

†[Nkjv]So the people went out into the field of battle against Israel. And the battle was in the woods of Ephraim.

†[BBE]So the people went out into the field against Israel, and the fight took place in the woods of Ephraim.

†[GNT] David's army went out into the countryside and fought the Israelites in Ephraim Forest.

†[NIV]The army marched into the field to fight Israel, and the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.

本会注释　　以法莲树林。圣经其他地方没有提到过这个树林。虽然以法莲是在约旦河西，但以法莲树林却在约旦河东的基列。在树林区，押沙龙的大军处于不利位置。要控制这么多未受训练的人是不可能的。在树林中作战，彼此分开，不知道别处的进展如何，人们会变得很混乱。

撒下18:7 以色列人败在大卫的仆人面前；那日阵亡的甚多，共有二万人。

†[吕]就在那里、以色列人便在大卫的仆人面前被击败了；那一天被击杀的、数目很大：共有二万。

†[思]以色列人在那为达味的臣仆打败，那天死伤惨重，阵亡的有二万人。

†[当代]以色列的军队被大卫的部下打败，伤亡惨重，有两万名以色列人阵亡。

†[新译]在那里，以色列人在大卫的臣仆面前被打败了；那天被杀的人很多，共有二万人。

†[Wlb]以色列众败于大卫仆从之前、是日被戮者众、计有二万、

†[Xdv]以色列人被大卫的部队打败，死伤惨重；那天有两万人阵亡。

†[Kjv]Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.

†[Nkjv]The people of Israel were overthrown there before the servants of David, and a great slaughter of twenty thousand took place there that day.

†[BBE]And the people of Israel were overcome there by the servants of David, and there was a great destruction that day, and twenty thousand men were put to the sword.

†[GNT] The Israelites were defeated by David's men; it was a terrible defeat, with twenty thousand men killed that day.

†[NIV]There the army of Israel was defeated by David's men, and the casualties that day were great-twenty thousand men.

撒下18:8 因为在那里四面打仗，死于树林的比死于刀剑的更多。

†[吕]战事在那里蔓延到全地带；那一天森林所消灭的兵众比刀剑所消灭的更多。

†[思]战争蔓廷全境，树林内死的人，比刀剑所杀的人还多。

†[当代]战火蔓延到整个郊野，那天困死在树林里的人，比死在刀下的人更多。

†[新译]战事在那里蔓延到全地；那一天，树林所吞灭的比刀剑所吞灭的更多。

†[Wlb]因其战鬬四方散布、死于林者、较死于刃者尤多、

†[Xdv]因战事蔓延到周围田野，死在森林里的人比在战场上阵亡的人还多。

†[Kjv]For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

†[Nkjv]For the battle there was scattered over the face of the whole countryside, and the woods devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

†[BBE]And the fighting went on over all the face of the country: and the woods were responsible for more deaths than the sword.

†[GNT] The fighting spread over the countryside, and more men died in the forest than were killed in battle.

†[NIV]The battle spread out over the whole countryside, and the forest claimed more lives that day than the sword.

本会注释　　那里四面。这句话生动地描绘了这场战争的流动性。战事遍布在广大的区域，人们向四方奔跑，在树林里迷失了方向，彼此分隔，陷在了灌木丛中。
　　死于树林的比死于刀剑的更多。多岩石的灌木丛，荒野地形密集植被，错综复杂的荆棘丛中散布着沼泽和连绵的沙砾层与沙地，对押沙龙的军队来说，显然是比大卫经验丰富的老兵们更致命的战场。

撒下18:9 押沙龙偶然遇见大卫的仆人。押沙龙骑着骡子，从大橡树密枝底下经过，他的头发被树枝绕住，就悬挂起来，所骑的骡子便离他去了。 (串)撒下14:26

†[吕]押沙龙偶然和大卫的臣仆相碰着。那时押沙龙正骑着骡子；骡子来到一棵很大的笃耨香树的密枝底下：押沙龙的头发缠住了那笃耨香树，他挂在半空中，他下的骡子跑过去了。

†[思]阿贝沙隆正遇上了达味的臣仆，他那时骑着一匹驴子，由大橡树的丛枝下经过，他的头发被橡树枝缠住，身悬在天地间，所骑的驴子已跑走。

†[当代]押沙龙在战争中碰见几个大卫的部下，他就赶快骑著驴逃走；驴从一棵大橡树浓密的枝子下走过，押沙龙的头发被树枝绕住，他整个人就登时吊在半空中，跨下的驴却跑了。

†[新译]押沙龙偶然遇上了大卫的臣仆。那时押沙龙骑着骡子，骡子从一棵大橡树茂密的树枝下经过，押沙龙的头发被橡树枝紧紧勾住，他就吊在空中，他所骑的骡子却跑开了。

†[Wlb]押沙龙偶与大卫之仆相遇、乘骡过于大橡繁枝之下、其首为树所絓、悬于空际、骡逸而去、

†[Xdv]押沙龙突然碰见几个大卫的部属。当时押沙龙骑着一匹骡子，经过一棵大橡树底下；他的头发被树枝缠住，骡子跑开，他就被挂在树上。

†[Kjv]And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.

†[Nkjv]Then Absalom met the servants of David. Absalom rode on a mule. The mule went under the thick boughs of a great terebinth tree, and his head caught in the terebinth; so he was left hanging between heaven and earth. And the mule which was under him went on.

†[BBE]And Absalom came across some of David's men. And Absalom was seated on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great tree, and his head became fixed in the tree and he was lifted up between earth and heaven, and the beast under him went on.

†[GNT] Suddenly Absalom met some of David's men. Absalom was riding a mule, and as it went under a large oak tree, Absalom's head got caught in the branches. The mule ran on and Absalom was left hanging in midair.

†[NIV]Now Absalom happened to meet David's men. He was riding his mule, and as the mule went under the thick branches of a large oak, Absalom's head got caught in the tree. He was left hanging in midair, while the mule he was riding kept on going.

撒下18:10 有个人看见，就告诉约押说：“我看见押沙龙挂在橡树上了。”

†[吕]有一个人看见，就告诉约押说：“我看见押沙龙挂在一棵笃耨香树上呢。”

†[思]有一个人看见，就告诉约阿布说：“我看见阿贝沙隆悬在橡树上”。

†[当代]大卫的一个部下看见这情形，就来向约押报告。

†[新译]有一个人看见了，就告诉约押说：“看哪！我看见押沙龙悬在一棵橡树上。”

†[Wlb]或见之、告约押曰、我见押沙龙悬于橡树、

†[Xdv]有一个大卫的部属看到这情景，就报告约押说：“我看见押沙龙挂在一棵橡树上。”

†[Kjv]And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.

†[Nkjv]Now a certain man saw it and told Joab, and said, "I just saw Absalom hanging in a terebinth tree!"

†[BBE]And a certain man saw it and said to Joab, I saw Absalom hanging in a tree.

†[GNT] One of David's men saw him and reported to Joab, "Sir, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree!"

†[NIV]When one of the men saw this, he told Joab, "I just saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree."

撒下18:11 约押对报信的人说：“你既看见他，为什么不将他打死落在地上呢？你若打死他，我就赏你十舍客勒银子，一条带子。”

†[吕]约押对报信的人说：“你看，你既看见，为什么不在那里将他击死落地呢？那样、我就该给你十锭银子和一条腰带了。”

†[思]约阿布对那向他报信的人说：“你看见了，为什么不把他砍倒在地？那么我必赏你十“协刻耳”银子和一条腰带”。

†[当代]约押就责骂那报信的说：“什么？你看见他吊在树上，那你为什么不把他当场杀掉啊！要是你把他杀了，我一定赏你十块银子，升你官职的啊！”

†[新译]约押对那向他报告的人说：“你既然看见了，为什么不当场把他击杀，落在地上呢？那样，我就赏赐你一百一十四克银子和一条腰带。”

†[Wlb]约押曰、尔既见之、何不击之陨地、若然、我以十金与绅予尔、

†[Xdv]约押说：“你看到他，为什么不在那地方杀了他呢？我会赏给你十块银子和一条皮带呢！”

†[Kjv]And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle.

†[Nkjv]So Joab said to the man who told him, "You just saw him! And why did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have given you ten shekels of silver and a belt."

†[BBE]And Joab said to the man who had given him the news, If you saw this, why did you not put your sword through him, and I would have given you ten bits of silver and a band for your robe?

†[GNT] Joab answered, "If you saw him, why didn't you kill him on the spot? I myself would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt."

†[NIV]Joab said to the man who had told him this, "What! You saw him? Why didn't you strike him to the ground right there? Then I would have had to give you ten shekels of silver and a warrior's belt."

本会注释　　你为什么不将他打死？约押知道如果叛军的首领除掉了，就会获得胜利，这场叛乱也就结束了。约押曾经为押沙龙做了许多事，善待他并使他回到耶路撒冷（撒下14:1-24）。但是押沙龙无耻地背叛了约押对他的信任，使约押转而对他怀恨在心。约押决心不顾王命，将他除掉。

撒下18:12 那人对约押说：“我就是得你一千舍客勒银子，我也不敢伸手害王的儿子；因为我们听见王嘱咐你和亚比筛并以太说：‘你们要谨慎，不可害那少年人押沙龙。’

†[吕]那人对约押说：“我，我就使平得一千锭银子在手，也不敢伸手加害王的儿子呀；因为我们亲耳听见王吩咐你和亚比筛跟以太说：‘你们要为我的缘故小心顾到孩子押沙龙。’

†[思]那人对约阿布说：“即使交在我手一千“协刻耳”银子，我也不愿伸手加害君王的儿子，因为我们亲听见君王吩咐你、阿彼瑟和依泰说：你们应为了我，保全少年阿贝沙隆。

†[当代]他却回答说：“就是你赏我一千块银子，我也不敢加害皇上的儿子呀！我们都听见皇上吩咐你们说‘为了我的缘故，别伤害那年轻的押沙龙啊’这句话。

†[新译]那人回答约押：“就是量十一公斤银子放在我手中，我也不敢伸手伤害王的儿子，因为我们亲耳听见王吩咐你、亚比筛和以太说：‘你们要为我的缘故，照顾那年轻人押沙龙。’

†[Wlb]曰、虽获千金、我不伸手击王之子、我侪闻王嘱尔、与亚比筛以太曰、慎勿加害少者押沙龙、

†[Xdv]但是那人回答：“你就是给我一千块银子，我也不敢动一根指头伤害王的儿子啊！我们都听见王命令你、亚比筛，和以太的话，说：‘为我的缘故，不要伤害那年轻人押沙龙。’

†[Kjv]And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.

†[Nkjv]But the man said to Joab, "Though I were to receive a thousand shekels of silver in my hand, I would not raise my hand against the king's son. For in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, "Beware lest anyone touch the young man Absalom!'

†[BBE]And the man said to Joab, Even if you gave me a thousand bits of silver, I would not put out my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king gave orders to you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care that the young man Absalom is not touched.

†[GNT] But the man answered, "Even if you gave me a thousand pieces of silver, I wouldn't lift a finger against the king's son. We all heard the king command you and Abishai and Ittai, "For my sake don't harm the young man Absalom.'

†[NIV]But the man replied, "Even if a thousand shekels were weighed out into my hands, I would not lift my hand against the king's son. In our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, 'Protect the young man Absalom for my sake. '

本会注释　　王嘱咐你。这个士兵是一个有原则的人，并且愿意顺从王的命令，无论它可能看似多么不合理。他提醒约押曾给予他和全军的命令，并且认为那些命令应该遵从。

撒下18:13 我若妄为害了他的性命，就是你自己也必与我为敌（原来，无论何事都瞒不过王。）”

†[吕]我若诈伪妄为、害了他的性命（或译：自己冒命），你自己也会站在一边、跟我作对呀；因为无论何事、都瞒不过王。”

†[思]并且，若我冒性命的危险，做错了事，也决不能瞒过君王，那时你也许不会保护我”。

†[当代]“假使我违抗王命，杀死押沙龙，皇上迟早查出真相，到时你就撒手不理了。”

†[新译]我若是胆大妄为伤害了他的性命，那时你也不会维护我。”

†[Wlb]如我妄害其命、无事隐于王、而尔亦必敌我、

†[Xdv]如果我违背王的命令，杀了押沙龙，王一定知道，什么事都瞒不过他！那时候，你不会保护我吧。”

†[Kjv]Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.

†[Nkjv]Otherwise I would have dealt falsely against my own life. For there is nothing hidden from the king, and you yourself would have set yourself against me."

†[BBE]And if I had falsely put him to death (and nothing may be kept secret from the king), you would have had nothing to do with me.

†[GNT] But if I had disobeyed the king and killed Absalom, the king would have heard about it - he hears about everything - and you would not have defended me."

†[NIV]And if I had put my life in jeopardy -and nothing is hidden from the king-you would have kept your distance from me."

本会注释　　害了他的性命。钦定本，希伯来圣经的旁注和许多希伯来手稿为“害了我自己的性命”。这个士兵如果杀害了押沙龙，就是犯罪；当发现是谁违背了王命时，违命者就会被杀。约押本人可能也会采取反对他的立场，并且签发死刑令。约押是一个英勇的元帅，但他也是一个任性而肆无忌惮的人。他虽然可能对押沙龙的死感到高兴，但他也许会假装对如此严重地违背了王命的人表示极大的义怒，并且吩咐将违命者处死。

撒下18:14 约押说：“我不能与你留连。”约押手拿三杆短枪，趁押沙龙在橡树上还活着，就刺透他的心。

†[吕]约押说：“我不能这样跟你迟延观望的。”约押手里拿着三根箭（传统：棍子），趁着押沙龙在笃耨香树中心还活着，便戳透押沙龙的心。

†[思]约阿布说：“不愿在你面前这样耽搁时间！”他就手拿了叁根短箭，射在阿贝沙隆心中，那时，他在橡树上还着。

†[当代]约押说：“我才不浪费时间听你的废话。”他拿起三根矛枪，趁著押沙龙还吊在橡树上，就活生生地剌透了他的心房。

†[新译]约押说：“我不能与你这样耽误时间。”于是约押手里拿起三根短矛，趁押沙龙还悬挂在橡树上的时候，就刺透了他的心。

†[Wlb]约押曰、我不可与尔迟延、遂执三戈而往、时、押沙龙悬于橡树、气犹未绝、则刺其胸、

†[Xdv]约押说：“我没时间跟你噜苏！”他连忙带着三支矛去，趁押沙龙还活着挂在那棵橡树上，把三支矛都刺进押沙龙的胸膛。

†[Kjv]Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.

†[Nkjv]Then Joab said, "I cannot linger with you." And he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through Absalom's heart, while he was still alive in the midst of the terebinth tree.

†[BBE]Then Joab said, I would have made it safe for you. And he took three spears in his hand, and put them through Absalom's heart, while he was still living, in the branches of the tree.

†[GNT] "I'm not going to waste any more time with you," Joab said. He took three spears and plunged them into Absalom's chest while he was still alive, hanging in the oak tree.

†[NIV]Joab said, "I'm not going to wait like this for you." So he took three javelins in his hand and plunged them into Absalom's heart while Absalom was still alive in the oak tree.

本会注释　　我不能与你留连。《塔古姆》和七十士译本的一份手稿为“为此我要在你眼前刺穿（他）”。约押感觉到了这个人话中的辞锋。但他决心杀死押沙龙。

撒下18:15 给约押拿兵器的十个少年人围绕押沙龙，将他杀死。

†[吕]给约押拿军器的十个青年护兵便围着押沙龙，击打他，将他杀死。

†[思]约阿布的十个少年围上前来，将阿贝沙隆击毙。

†[当代]十个替约押拿兵器的少年兵士，也上前击杀押沙龙，把他杀死。

†[新译]给约押拿武器的十个年轻人围着押沙龙，攻击他，把他杀死。

†[Wlb]为约押执兵之少者十人、环攻押沙龙而毙之、

†[Xdv]有十个约押的侍从跑过去把押沙龙杀了。

†[Kjv]And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.

†[Nkjv]And ten young men who bore Joab's armor surrounded Absalom, and struck and killed him.

†[BBE]And ten young men, servants of Joab, came round Absalom and put an end to him.

†[GNT] Then ten of Joab's soldiers closed in on Absalom and finished killing him.

†[NIV]And ten of Joab's armor-bearers surrounded Absalom, struck him and killed him.

本会注释　　十个少年人。这是约押的卫队。

撒下18:16 约押吹角，拦阻众人，他们就回来，不再追赶以色列人。

†[吕]约押吹号角，兵众就回来、不追赶以色列人；因为约押拦阻众人。

†[思]约阿布遂次起号角，军人便回来，不再追赶以色列人，因为约阿布愿顾惜人民。

†[当代]随后，约押就吹起号角，把手下都召回来，不让他们再去追赶以色列人，任他们逃回去。大卫的手下把押沙龙的尸体丢在林中的一个坑里，在上面堆了一大堆石头。

†[新译]约押吹响号角，众人就回来，不再追赶以色列人；因为约押拦阻众人继续追赶。

†[Wlb]约押吹角止众、民乃旋返、不追以色列族、

†[Xdv]约押叫人吹号停止攻击；他的军队都回来，不再追赶以色列人。

†[Kjv]And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.

†[Nkjv]So Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel. For Joab held back the people.

†[BBE]And Joab had the horn sounded, and the people came back from going after Israel, for Joab kept them back.

†[GNT] Joab had the trumpet blown to stop the fighting, and his troops came back from pursuing the Israelites.

†[NIV]Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and the troops stopped pursuing Israel, for Joab halted them.

本会注释　　约押吹角。角声吹出了战争结束的信号（见撒下2:28；20:22）。押沙龙之死结束了这场战斗。反叛的首领既然除掉了，就没有必要进一步流血了；所以约押立即停战。

撒下18:17 他们将押沙龙丢在林中一个大坑里，上头堆起一大堆石头。以色列众人都逃跑，各回各家去了。 (串)书7:26;8:29|撒上4:10撒下19:8;20:1,22王下8:21;14:12代下25:22

†[吕]他们将押沙龙丢在森林中一个大坑里，又在上头立起一堆极大堆的石头来；以色列众人都逃跑，各回各家（原文：帐棚）去了。

†[思]人们取下阿贝沙隆，将他块在树林中的一个大坑内，在他上面堆了一大堆石头。众以色列人各自回本家去了。

†[当代]－

†[新译]他们把押沙龙的尸体抬起来，丢在树林中的一个大坑里，又在上面堆起一大堆石头。以色列众人都逃跑，各回自己的家去了。

†[Wlb]掷押沙龙尸于林中巨阱、垒石其上、成为大阜、以色列众遁归己幕、

†[Xdv]他们把押沙龙的尸体丢在树林里的一个大坑里，在上面堆了一大堆石头。所有的以色列人都往自己的家乡逃了。

†[Kjv]And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.

†[Nkjv]And they took Absalom and cast him into a large pit in the woods, and laid a very large heap of stones over him. Then all Israel fled, everyone to his tent.

†[BBE]And they took Absalom's body and put it into a great hole in the wood, and put a great mass of stones over it: and every man of Israel went in flight to his tent.

†[GNT] They took Absalom's body, threw it into a deep pit in the forest, and covered it with a huge pile of stones. All the Israelites fled to their own hometowns.

†[NIV]They took Absalom, threw him into a big pit in the forest and piled up a large heap of rocks over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled to their homes.

本会注释　　将他丢在一个大坑里。为了不让他得到葬在祖坟的荣誉。他的尸体就象死畜一样扔在他被杀之树林的一个坑里。那就是这个骄傲英俊的王子的结局。他把自己的利益放在他的百姓、父亲和上帝之上。
　　一堆大石头。耻辱责备的永久纪念。
　　以色列众人。指跟从押沙龙的人（见16节）。
　　各家。或各自的帐棚（见申16:7；书22:4-8；撒上13:2；撒下19:8）。

撒下18:18 押沙龙活着的时候，在王谷立了一根石柱，因他说：“我没有儿子为我留名。”他就以自己的名称那石柱叫押沙龙柱，直到今日。 (串)创14:17|创28:18

†[吕]押沙龙活着的时候、将在王谷的一根石柱立了起来；因为他说：“我没有儿子来为我的名留个纪念”；他就将自己的名、称那石柱；因此那柱子到今天还叫做押沙龙纪念碑。

†[思]阿贝沙隆活着时，在君王山谷就为自己建立一石柱说：“我没有儿子，来怀念我的名字；”所他给那石柱起了自己的名字。直至今日，人还称那石柱为阿贝沙隆记念碑。

†[当代]押沙龙在生的时候，因为没有儿子为他留名后世，曾在王谷以自己的名字立了一根石柱，称为‘押沙龙柱’，这名称一直留存到现在。

†[新译]押沙龙生前曾在王谷为自己立了一根石柱，因为他想：“我没有儿子记念我的名字。”他就以自己的名字称那石柱。因此人称那石柱为押沙龙柱，直到今日。

†[Wlb]押沙龙存时、尝曰、我无遗子、以传我名、故在王谷建柱、称以己名、至于今日、称为押沙龙碑、

†[Xdv]押沙龙生前曾在王谷为自己立了一个碑；因为他没有儿子可以继承他的名，所以为自己给那碑命名为押沙龙。直到今天，它还叫押沙龙纪念碑。

†[Kjv]Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.

†[Nkjv]Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up a pillar for himself, which is in the King's Valley. For he said, "I have no son to keep my name in remembrance." He called the pillar after his own name. And to this day it is called Absalom's Monument.

†[BBE]Now Absalom, before his death, had put up for himself a pillar in the king's valley, naming it after himself; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in memory: and to this day it is named Absalom's pillar.

†[GNT] During his lifetime Absalom had built a monument for himself in King's Valley, because he had no son to keep his name alive. So he named it after himself, and to this day it is known as Absalom's Monument.

†[NIV]During his lifetime Absalom had taken a pillar and erected it in the King's Valley as a monument to himself, for he thought, "I have no son to carry on the memory of my name." He named the pillar after himself, and it is called Absalom's Monument to this

本会注释　　一根石柱。押沙龙曾为自己立过一个漂亮昂贵的纪念碑。但是他的身体没有被埋葬在王陵里，反而被扔在树林的一个坑里。押沙龙之柱的地点尚未确定。有人认为在耶路撒冷，有人认为在希伯仑。
　　在上汲沦谷的所谓的“押沙龙墓”，是一个精心建造的四方形建筑物，带有岩石浮雕的柱子，实际上是希腊时期的作品，除了名字以外，与押沙龙无关。
　　“柱”直译是“手”，可能雕在石碑上。在莱基出土的文物中，有一个带一只右手的祭坛，手掌向外，手指伸开，在坛的一个侧面用深浮雕表现出来。在迦太基的石柱上也雕刻着手。押沙龙所立的石柱上可能也雕刻着一只手。
　　没有儿子。他的三个儿子（撒下14:27）大概在幼年就死了。

撒下18:19 撒督的儿子亚希玛斯说：“容我跑去，将耶和华向仇敌给王报仇的信息报与王知。” (串)撒下15:36

†[吕]撒督的儿子亚希玛斯说：“容我跑去，报消息给王知道永恒主已经维护了正义、而救主脱离仇敌的手。”

†[思]匝多克的儿子阿希玛兹对约阿布说：“让我跑去，将上主对王的仇敌替王伸冤的喜信，禀报给君王”。

†[当代]撒督的儿子亚希玛斯对约押说：“请让我跑回去禀告皇上，说主已把他从仇敌押沙龙的手里拯救出来了。”

†[新译]撒督的儿子亚希玛斯说：“让我跑去，把这好消息向王报告，就是耶和华已经把他从仇敌的手中拯救出来了。”

†[Wlb]撒督子亚希玛斯曰、请容我趋、以耶和华伸冤之音信报王、

†[Xdv]撒督的儿子亚希玛斯对约押说：“让我跑去把这好消息向王报告吧！上主已经救王脱离了他的仇敌。”

†[Kjv]Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.

†[Nkjv]Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Let me run now and take the news to the king, how the LORD has avenged him of his enemies."

†[BBE]Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, Let me go and give the king news of how the Lord has done right in his cause against those who took up arms against him.

†[GNT] Then Ahimaaz son of Zadok said to Joab, "Let me run to the king with the good news that the Lord has saved him from his enemies."

†[NIV]Now Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, "Let me run and take the news to the king that the Lord has delivered him from the hand of his enemies."

本会注释　　撒督的儿子亚希玛斯。亚希玛斯曾和约拿单一起把户筛的情报带给大卫（撒下17:17-21；参撒下15:27）。他似乎被公认擅长于奔跑（撒下18:27）。在这场战争中，他充当信使，因而号角一响，战斗一结束，他就准备把消息带给大卫。

撒下18:20 约押对他说：“你今日不可去报信，改日可以报信；因为今日王的儿子死了，所以你不可去报信。”

†[吕]约押对他说：“你今天不可去报消息，改日去报好啦。今天不可报，因为王的儿子死了。”

†[思]约阿布却对他说：“今日你不是报喜的人，改天再去报吧！因为君王的儿子死了，今日你不可去报信”。

†[当代]但约押对他说：“皇上心爱的儿子死了，对皇上来说，这不会是个好消息。你还是迟些才去报信吧。”

†[新译]约押对他说：“你今天不可去报消息，改天才可以去报。你今天不可去报消息，因为王的儿子死了。”

†[Wlb]约押曰、今日勿报音信、他日可也、王子既死、今日不可报音信也、

†[Xdv]约押说：“不，今天不要去报告什么好消息，改天再去吧！不是今天，因为今天王的儿子死了。”

†[Kjv]And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.

†[Nkjv]And Joab said to him, "You shall not take the news this day, for you shall take the news another day. But today you shall take no news, because the king's son is dead."

†[BBE]And Joab said, You will take no news today; another day you may give him the news, but you will take no news today, because the king's son is dead.

†[GNT] "No," Joab said, "today you will not take any good news. Some other day you may do so, but not today, for the king's son is dead."

†[NIV]You are not the one to take the news today," Joab told him. "You may take the news another time, but you must not do so today, because the king's son is dead."

本会注释　　王的儿子死了。约押看出将要带给大卫的消息不会被他当作是好消息。他只会关心一件事——押沙龙的命运。在这种情况下，只要押沙龙活着，别的事情都不是问题，不管是失败还是成功。

撒下18:21 约押对古示人说：“你去将你所看见的告诉王。”古示人在约押面前下拜，就跑去了。

†[吕]约押对古实人说：“你去将你所看见的告诉王。”古实人向约押拜一拜，就跑去了。

†[思]约阿布遂对一个雇士人说：“你去将所见的事报告君王”。雇士人就拜别约阿布跑去信。

†[当代]约押又吩咐一个古示人说：“你去把战情禀报皇上。”那人就拜别了约押，马上跑回去报信。

†[新译]于是约押对一个古实人说：“你去把你所看见的告诉王吧！”那古实人叩拜了约押，就跑去了。

†[Wlb]约押谓古示人曰、尔往、以所见者告王、古示人跪拜约押而趋、

†[Xdv]于是约押对他的苏但奴隶说：“你去，把所看到的事向王报告。”那奴隶屈身下拜，然后跑去。

†[Kjv]Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.

†[Nkjv]Then Joab said to the Cushite, "Go, tell the king what you have seen." So the Cushite bowed himself to Joab and ran.

†[BBE]Then Joab said to the Cushite, Go and give the king word of what you have seen. And the Cushite, making a sign of respect to Joab, went off running.

†[GNT] Then he said to his Ethiopian slave, "Go and tell the king what you have seen." The slave bowed and ran off.

†[NIV]Then Joab said to a Cushite, "Go, tell the king what you have seen." The Cushite bowed down before Joab and ran off.

撒下18:22 撒督的儿子亚希玛斯又对约押说：“无论怎样，求你容我随着古示人跑去。”约押说：“我儿，你报这信息，既不得赏赐，何必要跑去呢？”

†[吕]撒督的儿子亚希玛斯又再对约押说：“无论怎样，请容我也随着古实人跑去。”约押说：“我儿，你既没有赏赐可得，究竟为了什么要跑去呢？”

†[思]匝多克的儿子阿希玛兹又对约阿布说：“无论如何，我得跟着雇士人去！”约阿布答说：“为什么你要去？我儿，为这喜讯你得到什么报酬！”

†[当代]但亚希玛斯却再次恳求约押说：“求你让我与古示人一同去吧！”约押说：“我的孩子，你何必要去呢？你是不会得到赏赐的。”

†[新译]撒督的儿子亚希玛斯又对约押说：“不管怎样，请让我也跟着那古实人跑去。”约押说：“你为什么要跑去呢？我儿，你是不会得到报消息的赏赐的。”

†[Wlb]撒督子亚希玛斯复请曰、无论如何、容我随古示人后、约押曰、我子欤、尔报音信、必不获赏、疾趋何为、

†[Xdv]亚希玛斯坚持要去，又说：“不管怎么样，请让我也带这消息去。”约押说：“我儿，你为什么一定要去呢？你是得不到奖赏的。”

†[Kjv]Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?

†[Nkjv]And Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, "But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite." So Joab said, "Why will you run, my son, since you have no news ready?"

†[BBE]Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab again, Whatever may come of it, let me go after the Cushite. And Joab said, Why have you a desire to go, my son, seeing that you will get no reward for your news?

†[GNT] Ahimaaz insisted, "I don't care what happens; please let me take the news also." "Why do you want to do it, my son?" Joab asked. "You will get no reward for it."

†[NIV]Ahimaaz son of Zadok again said to Joab, "Come what may, please let me run behind the Cushite." But Joab replied, "My son, why do you want to go? You don't have any news that will bring you a reward."

本会注释　　随着古示人跑去。打败押沙龙军队的消息是最重要的消息。亚希玛斯强烈希望把这消息带给大卫。
　　报这信息既不得赏赐。“信息”的原文也可译为“好消息的赏赐”（撒下4:10）。七十士译本将这句话译为“你没有得益处的信息。”亚希玛斯被认为是报好消息的人（27节），但是约押很清楚大卫会把接到押沙龙已死的信息当作最心碎悲惨的报告。亚希玛斯去传送这样的噩耗得不到王的感激。

撒下18:23 他又说：“无论怎样，我要跑去。”约押说：“你跑去吧！”亚希玛斯就从平原往前跑，跑过古示人去了。 (串)创13:10,12申34:3

†[吕]亚希玛斯又说：“无论怎样、我要跑去。”约押对他说：“你跑去吧。”亚希玛斯就沿着约但河一片平原的路上跑，跑过了古实人。

†[思]他说：“我无论如何要去！”他答说：“去吧！”阿希玛兹就沿着约旦平原的大路跑去，跑过了雇士人。

†[当代]“无论怎样，我都希望去一趟。”约押见他再三恳求，终于答应让他去了。亚希玛斯走平原的捷径，抢在古示人的前面。

†[新译]“不管怎样，请让我跑去！”于是约押对他说：“你跑去吧！”亚希玛斯就沿着约旦河大道跑去，赶过了那古实人。

†[Wlb]曰、无论如何、我必趋之、曰、趋哉、亚希玛斯乃趋、道经平原、越古示人、

†[Xdv]亚希玛斯说：“不管怎么样，我就是要去！”约押说：“那么，去吧！”于是亚希玛斯沿着约旦谷的路跑下去，不久就赶过了那苏但人。

†[Kjv]But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.

†[Nkjv]"But whatever happens," he said, "let me run." So he said to him, "Run." Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain, and outran the Cushite.

†[BBE]Whatever may come of it, he said, I will go. Then he said to him, Go. So Ahimaaz went running by the lowland road and overtook the Cushite.

†[GNT] "Whatever happens," Ahimaaz said again, "I want to go." "Then go," Joab said. So Ahimaaz ran off down the road through the Jordan Valley, and soon he passed the slave.

†[NIV]He said, "Come what may, I want to run." So Joab said, "Run!" Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and outran the Cushite.

本会注释　　从平原往前跑。大概是取道约旦河流域，而没有选择比较近却难走的山路。这两条路可能在距玛哈念有一段距离的地方相会。亚希玛斯虽然跑的晚，但他是一个飞毛腿，又选择了好走的路，所以跑过了古示人。

撒下18:24 大卫正坐在城瓮里。守望的人上城门楼的顶上，举目观看，见有一个人独自跑来。 (串)撒下19:8|撒下13:34王下9:17

†[吕]大卫正坐在内外两城门之间；守望的人上城墙上城门楼的房顶上，举目观看，忽见有一个人独自跑来。

†[思]那时达味正坐在两门中间，守卫士兵上了门楼顶。守卫兵举目一望，见一人独自跑来，

†[当代]那时，大卫坐在城门中间焦急地等待；有一个守卫爬上城门楼顶观望，就看见一个人独自跑来。

†[新译]那时，大卫正坐在内外城门中间的地方。守望的人上到城楼的平顶上，举目观看，见有一个人独自跑来。

†[Wlb]大卫坐城两门之间、守望者登楼巅、举目望见一人独趋、

†[Xdv]当时，大卫坐在内外城门中间的地方。守望的人到城墙上去，站在门楼顶上观望。他看到一个人跑来，

†[Kjv]And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.

†[Nkjv]Now David was sitting between the two gates. And the watchman went up to the roof over the gate, to the wall, lifted his eyes and looked, and there was a man, running alone.

†[BBE]Now David was seated between the two town doors; and the watchman went up to the roof of the doorways, on the wall, and, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running by himself.

†[GNT] David was sitting in the space between the inner and outer gates of the city. The lookout went up to the top of the wall and stood on the roof of the gateway; he looked out and saw a man running alone.

†[NIV]While David was sitting between the inner and outer gates, the watchman went up to the roof of the gateway by the wall. As he looked out, he saw a man running alone.

本会注释　　城门楼的顶上。东方城市的城门通常有一个门楼，门楼的顶上有人站岗守望，急切等待带来战争消息的信使们来到。

撒下18:25 守望的人就大声告诉王。王说：“他若独自来，必是报口信的。”那人跑得渐渐近了。

†[吕]守望的人就喊叫着告诉王。王说：“他若独自一人，必是要亲口报消息的。”那人越来越近了。

†[思]就大声喊叫．君王君王。王说：“若是一人，必有喜讯传报”。他越来越近了。

†[当代]守卫就大声向大卫报告。大卫说：“如果他是单独一个人，他报的就一定是好消息。”

†[新译]守望的人就喊叫，把这事告诉王；王说：“他若是单独一人，必是来报好消息的。”那人越走越近了。

†[Wlb]呼而告王、王曰、若惟一人来、必报音信、其人趋而渐近、

†[Xdv]就向下喊，报告王。王说：“如果是单独一个人，就是报好消息的。”那个人越跑越近了。

†[Kjv]And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near.

†[Nkjv]Then the watchman cried out and told the king. And the king said, "If he is alone, there is news in his mouth." And he came rapidly and drew near.

†[BBE]And the watchman gave news of it to the king. And the king said, If he is coming by himself, then he has news. And the man was travelling quickly, and came near.

†[GNT] He called down and told the king, and the king said, "If he is alone, he is bringing good news." The runner kept coming closer.

†[NIV]The watchman called out to the king and reported it. The king said, "If he is alone, he must have good news." And the man came closer and closer.

本会注释　　他若独自来。大卫立即领会了一个人独自跑来的意义。他必是带来战争消息的信使。如果他是战场的逃兵，很可能就不会是一个人。别人会与他一起跑。

撒下18:26 守望的人又见一人跑来，就对守城门的人说：“又有一人独自跑来。”王说：“这也必是报信的。”

†[吕]守望的人又见一人跑来，就喊叫着对守城门的人说：“看哪，有一个人独自跑来呢。”王说：“这也必是报消息的。”

†[思]守卫又看见一个人跑来，守卫兵立刻对看门的大声喊说：“看，又有一人独自跑来”。王说：“这也是来报喜信的”。

†[当代]这时候，守卫又看见另一个人跑来，他就大声说：“又有一个人独自跑来了！”大卫说：“这人也是传好消息的。”

†[新译]后来，守望的人又看见另一个人跑来，就对守城门的人喊叫，说：“看哪！又有一个人独自跑来！”王说：“这也必是来报好消息的。”

†[Wlb]守望者又见一人趋、告阍者曰、又有一人独趋、王曰、彼亦报音信者也、

†[Xdv]后来，守望的人又看到另一个人跑来，就对守城门的人喊说：“看！又有一个人跑来了！”王说：“这个人也是来报好消息的。”

†[Kjv]And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.

†[Nkjv]Then the watchman saw another man running, and the watchman called to the gatekeeper and said, "There is another man, running alone!" And the king said, "He also brings news."

†[BBE]Then the watchman saw another man running: and crying out in the direction of the door he said, Here is another man running by himself. And the king said, He, like the other, comes with news.

†[GNT] Then the lookout saw another man running alone, and he called down to the gatekeeper, "Look! There's another man running!" The king answered, "This one also is bringing good news."

†[NIV]Then the watchman saw another man running, and he called down to the gatekeeper, "Look, another man running alone!" The king said, "He must be bringing good news, too."

撒下18:27 守望的人说：“我看前头人的跑法，好象撒督的儿子亚希玛斯的跑法一样。”王说：“他是个好人，必是报好信息。” (串)王下9:20|王上1:42

†[吕]守望的人说：“我看前头那人的跑法好像撒督的儿子亚希玛斯的跑法一样。”王说：“他是个好人，必是来报好消息的。”

†[思]守卫兵说：“我看见前一个人的跑法，像匝多克的儿子阿希玛兹的跑法”。王说：“他是个好人，必是来报喜信的”。

†[当代]守卫又说：“那个跑在前面的人，从他跑的姿式看来，好像撒督的儿子亚希玛斯。”大卫说：“他是个好人，他必定带来了好消息。”

†[新译]守望的人说：“我看前头那人的跑法好像撒督的儿子亚希玛斯的跑法一样。”王说：“他是个好人，必是带好消息来的。”

†[Wlb]守望者曰、我视在前者、其趋之势、如撒督子亚希玛斯然、王曰、彼善人也、必报嘉音、

†[Xdv]守望的人说：“我看前头那一个人跑的样子好像是亚希玛斯。”王说：“他是个好人；他一定是带来好消息。”

†[Kjv]And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.

†[Nkjv]So the watchman said, "I think the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok." And the king said, "He is a good man, and comes with good news."

†[BBE]And the watchman said, It seems to me that the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and his news will be good.

†[NIV]The watchman said, "It seems to me that the first one runs like Ahimaaz son of Zadok." "He's a good man," the king said. "He comes with good news."

本会注释　　他是个好人。大卫从送信人的性质判断消息的性质。象亚希玛斯这种人会带来受欢迎的消息。

撒下18:28 亚希玛斯向王呼叫说：“平安了！”就在王面前脸伏于地叩拜，说：“耶和华你的上帝是应当称颂的，因他已将那举手攻击我主我王的人交给王了。” (串)创14:20

†[吕]亚希玛斯喊叫着对王说：“平安！”就面伏于地，向王下拜、说：“永恒主你的上帝是当受祝颂的，因为他已将举手攻击我主我王的人送交给王了。”

†[思]阿希玛兹上前对君王说：“安好！”就俯首至地，叩拜君王，接着说：“上主，你的天主是可赞美的，因为消灭了反抗我主大王的人”。

†[当代]亚希玛斯跑近向大卫王报告说：“一切都顺利！”他在王面前俯伏叩拜说：“主你的上帝是应当称颂的，祂已经为陛下消灭了那些攻击陛下的敌人了！”

†[Xdv]亚希玛斯喊着：“吾王万岁！”在王面前俯伏地上，说：“赞美上主──你的上帝，他使陛下胜过了背叛的人！”

†[Kjv]And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.

†[Nkjv]So Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, "All is well!" Then he bowed down with his face to the earth before the king, and said, "Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king!"

†[BBE]And Ahimaaz, crying out to the king, said, It is well. And falling down before the king, with his face to the earth, he said, May the Lord your God be praised, who has given up the men who took up arms against my lord the king!

†[GNT] Ahimaaz called out a greeting to the king, threw himself down to the ground before him, and said, "Praise the Lord your God, who has given you victory over the men who rebelled against Your Majesty!"

†[NIV]Then Ahimaaz called out to the king, "All is well!" He bowed down before the king with his face to the ground and said, "Praise be to the Lord your God! He has delivered up the men who lifted their hands against my lord the king."

本会注释　　平安了。亚希玛斯急切匆忙地告诉王一切都好——战斗结束了。耶和华已经拯救大卫脱离了他仇敌的手。这种消息确实是好的，但并不是王最有兴趣想听到的那种消息。

撒下18:29 王问说：“少年人押沙龙平安不平安？”亚希玛斯回答说：“约押打发王的仆人，那时仆人听见众民大声喧哗，却不知道是什么事。”

†[吕]王问说：“孩子押沙龙平安不平安？”亚希玛斯说：“当约押打发王的仆人、就是你的仆人的时候，我见有大喧嚷，却不知道是什么事。”

†[思]王问说：“少年阿贝沙隆是否无恙？”阿希玛兹答说：“当大王的臣仆约阿布打发你的仆人时，我见有大骚动，但不是什么事？”

†[当代]大卫问他说：“年轻的押沙龙怎样？他没有事吧？”亚希玛斯回答说：“约押将军派仆人来的时候，仆人听见一阵大骚动，但仆人却不知道是什么事。”

†[新译]王问：“那年轻人押沙龙平安不平安？”亚希玛斯回答：“约押差派王的仆人，就是你的仆人我来的时候，我看见有大动乱，却不知道是什么事。”

†[Wlb]王曰、少者押沙龙安否、亚希玛斯曰、约押遣王之仆时、我见众大喧哗、不知何故、

†[Xdv]王问：“那年轻人押沙龙好吗？”亚希玛斯回答：“陛下啊，你的将军约押派我出去，我看到群众大骚动，但不知道发生了什么事。”

†[Kjv]And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.

†[Nkjv]The king said, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab sent the king's servant and me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was about."

†[BBE]And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz said in answer, When Joab sent me, your servant, I saw a great outcry going on, but I had no knowledge of what it was.

†[GNT] "Is the young man Absalom all right?" the king asked. Ahimaaz answered, "Sir, when your officer Joab sent me, I saw a great commotion, but I couldn't tell what it was."

†[NIV]The king asked, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" Ahimaaz answered, "I saw great confusion just as Joab was about to send the king's servant and me, your servant, but I don't know what it was."

本会注释　　蜂蜜奶油。基列因其牛群牲畜闻名（民32:1；代上5:9）。
　　奶饼。shephoth baqar。Baqar意思是牛，但shephoth只在这里出现，意思不确定，被认为指的某种牛产品，例如乳酪、干酪或牛肉。

本会注释　　我听见众民大声喧哗。亚希玛斯巧妙地回避了大卫的问题。他很清楚押沙龙死了，因为正是他的死才使战争结束了。但是关于发生了什么事的确切消息，他留给古示人去传达。

撒下18:30 王说：“你退去，站在旁边。”他就退去，站在旁边。

†[吕]王说：“你转身，站立在那里。”他就转身去站着。

†[思]王说：“你退在一边，站在那”。他便退在一边，站在那。

†[当代]大卫说：“你先退下去。”于是，亚希玛斯就站在一边。

†[新译]王说：“你退到一旁，站在那里！”他就退到一旁，站在那里。

†[Wlb]王曰、且退、侍于侧、乃退而立、

†[Xdv]王说：“站开，到旁边去吧！”亚希玛斯就退到一边站着。

†[Kjv]And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.

†[Nkjv]And the king said, "Turn aside and stand here." So he turned aside and stood still.

†[BBE]And the king said, Get back and take your place here. So turning to one side, he took his place there.

†[GNT] "Stand over there," the king told him; and he went over and stood there.

†[NIV]The king said, "Stand aside and wait here." So he stepped aside and stood there.

撒下18:31 古示人也来到，说：“有信息报给我主我王！耶和华今日向一切兴起攻击你的人给你报仇了。”

†[吕]古实人也来到了，他说：“有消息报给我主我王知道：永恒主今天已经维护了正义、而救你脱离一切起来攻击你的人的手了。”

†[思]雇士人也来到了，雇士人说：“有喜信报告给我主大王！上主今日对一切起来反抗你的的人为你伸了冤”。

†[当代]这时，古示人也到了，他对大卫说：“我有好消息向陛下报告，今日主已经救我王脱离仇敌的魔掌了。”

†[新译]那古实人也到了。他说：“有好消息报给我主我王；今天耶和华已经救你脱离那些起来攻击你的人的手了！”

†[Wlb]古示人至、曰、有音信报于我主我王、今日耶和华已伸尔冤于凡攻尔者、

†[Xdv]那时，那苏但人到了，向王说：“我有好消息报告陛下！今天上主使你胜过了一切背叛你的人！”

†[Kjv]And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.

†[Nkjv]Just then the Cushite came, and the Cushite said, "There is good news, my lord the king! For the LORD has avenged you this day of all those who rose against you."

†[BBE]And then the Cushite came and said, I have news for my lord the king: today the Lord has done right in your cause against all those who took up arms against you.

†[GNT] Then the Ethiopian slave arrived and said to the king, "I have good news for Your Majesty! Today the Lord has given you victory over all who rebelled against you!"

†[NIV]Then the Cushite arrived and said, "My lord the king, hear the good news! The Lord has delivered you today from all who rose up against you."

本会注释　　给你报仇了。古示人的消息与亚希玛斯的消息大体一样，但却清楚地含有押沙龙被杀的意思。然而出于对王的尊重，没有特别提到细节。

撒下18:32 王问古示人说：“少年人押沙龙平安不平安？”古示人回答说：“愿我主我王的仇敌，和一切兴起要杀害你的人，都与那少年人一样。” (串)撒上25:26

†[吕]王问古实人说：“孩子押沙龙平安不平安？古实人说：“愿我主我王的仇敌和一切起来攻击你残害你的人都像那青年人一样。”

†[思]王问雇士人说：“少年阿贝沙隆是否无恙？”雇士人答说：“愿我主大王的仇敌，以及凡心怀恶意起来反抗你的人，都相似这个少年人！”

†[当代]“年轻的押沙龙怎样？他平安吗？”古示人回答说：“愿我王的仇敌和一切起来要加害我王的人，都与那年轻人一样，不得善终。”

†[新译]王问古实人：“那年轻人押沙龙平安吗？”古实人回答：“愿我主我王的仇敌和一切来攻击你、伤害你的人，都像那年轻人一样。”

†[Wlb]王曰、少者押沙龙安否、古示人曰、愿我主我王之敌、及凡起而害尔者、咸如彼少者、

†[Xdv]王问：“那年轻人押沙龙好吗？”那苏但人说：“愿发生在他身上的事发生在陛下的仇敌和一切背叛你的人身上！”

†[Kjv]And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.

†[Nkjv]And the king said to the Cushite, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" So the Cushite answered, "May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise against you to do harm, be like that young man!"

†[BBE]And the king said to the Cushite, Is the young man Absalom safe? And the Cushite said in answer, May all the king's haters and those who do evil against the king, be as that young man is!

†[GNT] "Is the young man Absalom all right?" the king asked. The slave answered, "I wish that what has happened to him would happen to all your enemies, sir, and to all who rebel against you."

†[NIV]The king asked the Cushite, "Is the young man Absalom safe?" The Cushite replied, "May the enemies of my lord the king and all who rise up to harm you be like that young man."

撒下18:33 王就心里伤恸，上城门楼去哀哭，一面走一面说：“我儿押沙龙啊！我儿，我儿押沙龙啊！我恨不得替你死，押沙龙啊，我儿！我儿！” (串)撒下19:4

†[吕]王周身战抖，就上城门楼上去哭：一面哭（传统：走），一面这样说：“我儿押沙龙阿，我儿，我儿押沙龙阿，我恨不得替你死！押沙龙阿，我儿，我儿！”

†[思]君王一听这话，不胜悲伤，就上了门楼痛哭；他哭着说：我儿阿贝沙隆！我儿！我儿阿贝沙隆，巴不得我替你死了，我儿阿贝沙隆！我儿！”

†[当代]大卫听到这消息以后，心中很是难过，就走上城门楼去痛哭，一面走，一面哭著说：“我儿啊！我儿押沙龙啊，我恨不得可以替你死！押沙龙，我儿啊！我儿！”

†[新译]王悲恸得全身发抖，就上城楼去哀哭。他一面走一面这样说：“我儿押沙龙啊！我儿，我儿押沙龙啊！但愿我替你死。押沙龙啊！我儿，我儿啊！”（本节在《马索拉抄本》为19:1）

†[Wlb]王恸甚、登门楼而哭、且行且言曰、我子押沙龙、我子、我子押沙龙、我愿代尔死、押沙龙我子、我子、

†[Xdv]王一听，悲从中来，就上城楼的房间去哀哭。他一面走一面哭着说：“噢，我儿！我儿！押沙龙我儿！恨不得我替你死。我儿押沙龙啊，我儿！”

†[Kjv]And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!

†[Nkjv]Then the king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went, he said thus: "O my son Absalom--my son, my son Absalom--if only I had died in your place! O Absalom my son, my son!"

†[BBE]Then the king was much moved, and went up into the room over the door, weeping, and saying, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! if only my life might have been given for yours, O Absalom, my son, my son!

†[GNT] The king was overcome with grief. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept. As he went, he cried, "O my son! My son Absalom! Absalom, my son! If only I had died in your place, my son! Absalom, my son!"

†[NIV]The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept. As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom! If only I had died instead of you-O Absalom, my son, my son!"

本会注释　　押沙龙啊，我儿。圣经很少有地方描绘比这里更为痛切的悲伤。大卫的悲伤不仅是父亲对他死去儿子的悲伤。对于这位软心肠的王来说已经是够重的了。更令大卫难受的是他本人就是这一系列事件的始作俑者。这可怕的悲剧使这些事件达到了高潮。押沙龙在暗嫩强暴了他妹子他玛后杀了暗嫩。现在轮到他在反对亲生父亲的战争中被杀了。这一切接踵而至的事件自然是大卫所犯极恶之罪的后果。
