撒母耳记下第20章

《圣经》撒母耳记下-第20章

撒下20:1 在那里恰巧有一个匪徒，名叫示巴，是便雅悯人比基利的儿子。他吹角，说：“我们与大卫无分，与耶西的儿子无涉。以色列人哪，你们各回各家去吧！” (串)申13:13士19:22;20:13王上21:10,13|王上12:16代下10:16|撒上4:10撒下18:17本章22

†[吕]在那里碰巧有一个无赖子、名叫示巴，是便雅悯人比基利的儿子；他吹号角说：“我们在大卫上没有分儿；我们在耶西的儿子上并没有业份呀。以色列人哪，各回各家（原文：帐棚）去吧！”

†[思]当时，在那有个败类，始叫舍尸巴，是本雅明人彼革黎的儿子。吹着号，喊说：“我们和达味没有关系，对叶瑟儿子的产业没有分子。以色列人！各自回本家吧！

†[当代]当时，有一个无赖，名叫示巴，他是便雅悯人比基利的儿子，他乘机吹响号角，大声喊著说：“我们与大卫毫无关系，大卫家的一切也没有我们的份儿。以色列的兄弟们，来啊，让我们一起走吧，大卫根本就不是我们的君王！”

†[新译]在那里恰巧有一个流氓名叫示巴，是便雅悯人比基利的儿子。他吹号角，说：“我们在大卫的身上无分，在耶西的儿子身上无干，以色列人哪！各回自己的帐棚去吧！”

†[Wlb]在彼适有匪徒、便雅悯人比基利子示巴、吹角、曰、我与大卫无与、于耶西子无业、以色列族、各归故幕可也、

†[Xdv]在吉甲有一个败类叫示巴，是便雅悯支族人比基利的儿子。他吹号喊着说：“大卫跟我们没有关系！耶西的儿子对我们毫无益处！以色列人哪，回老家去吧！”

†[Kjv]And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.

†[Nkjv]And there happened to be there a rebel, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. And he blew a trumpet, and said: "We have no share in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"

†[BBE]Now by chance there was present a good-for-nothing person named Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he, sounding the horn, said, We have no part in David, or any interest in the son of Jesse: let every man go to his tent, O Israel.

†[GNT] There happened to be in Gilgal a worthless character named Sheba son of Bikri, of the tribe of Benjamin. He blew the trumpet and called out, "Down with David! We won't follow him! Men of Israel, let's go home!"

†[NIV]Now a troublemaker named Sheba son of Bicri, a Benjamite, happened to be there. He sounded the trumpet and shouted, "We have no share in David, no part in Jesse's son! Every man to his tent, O Israel!"

本会注释　　示巴。一个仍对大卫怀有敌意的便雅悯人。他利用以色列人和犹大人之间的争吵（撒下19:41-43）号召人反叛国王。
　　各回各家。关于这个短语的使用，见王上12:16；代下10:16。

撒下20:2 于是以色列人都离开大卫，跟随比基利的儿子示巴。但犹大人从约但河直到耶路撒冷，都紧紧跟随他们的王。

†[吕]于是以色列人都上去、不跟从大卫，反而跟从比基利的儿子示巴；但是犹大人从约但河直到耶路撒冷、都紧跟着他们的王。

†[思]因此，众以色列人离开达味，跟随了彼革黎的儿子舍巴；但犹大人仍然紧随他们的君王，由约旦河直到了耶路撒冷。

†[当代]于是以色列人就离开了大卫，跟著示巴走了，只剩下犹大人紧紧跟随大卫，从约旦河一直来到耶路撒冷。

†[新译]于是以色列众人都上山去，不跟随大卫，却跟随了比基利的儿子示巴；犹大人却紧紧跟随他们的王，从约旦河直到耶路撒冷。

†[Wlb]于是以色列人不从大卫、而从比基利子示巴、惟犹大人自约但至耶路撒冷、附于其王、

†[Xdv]于是以色列人都离开大卫，跟随了示巴。但是犹大人仍然忠心耿耿，跟随大卫从约旦河到耶路撒冷。

†[Kjv]So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.

†[Nkjv]So every man of Israel deserted David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem, remained loyal to their king.

†[BBE]So all the men of Israel, turning away from David, went after Sheba, the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah were true to their king, going with him from Jordan as far as Jerusalem.

†[GNT] So the Israelites deserted David and went with Sheba, but the men of Judah remained loyal and followed David from the Jordan to Jerusalem.

†[NIV]So all the men of Israel deserted David to follow Sheba son of Bicri. But the men of Judah stayed by their king all the way from the Jordan to Jerusalem.

本会注释　　离开大卫。不久之前以色列人还在大声抗议，主张他们比犹大人对大卫拥有更大的权利（撒下19:43）。人性确实是变幻无常的。尽管有这一切高调的欢迎词，大卫的宝座还远非安全。
　　犹大人……都紧紧跟随。押沙龙的谋反是在犹大发起的，犹大人在请大卫回来作王的事上拖拖拉拉（撒下19:11），但是现在犹大人却紧紧跟随他。大卫争取犹大而不是疏远与犹大的感情是对的，因为他现在正是作这些拖拖拉拉欢迎他回来之人的王。

撒下20:3 大卫王来到耶路撒冷，进了宫殿，就把从前留下看守宫殿的十个妃嫔禁闭在冷宫，养活她们，不与她们亲近。她们如同寡妇被禁，直到死的日子。 (串)撒下15:16;16:21,22

†[吕]大卫王来到耶路撒冷自己家里，就把那十个女人、就是从前他留下来看家的妃嫔、放在看守所里；供养她们，却不进去找她们。她们就这样被监禁去守活寡、直到死的日子。

†[思]达味王进了耶路撒冷的宫殿，就将他留下看守宫殿的十个个嫔妃，留在禁官，养活她们，却不再亲近她们。她们被禁在冷官内，一直到死，终身守寡。

†[当代]大卫回到宫里，就把从前留下来看守宫院的十个妃嫔打入冷宫，供养她们，但却没有和她们同寝。于是，她们就像寡妇一样，度过余年。

†[新译]大卫王回到耶路撒冷自己的宫里，就把以前留下来看守王宫的那十个妃嫔捉起来，关在禁宫里。王供养她们，却不再亲近她们。她们被禁闭，过着寡妇一般的生活，直到死的日子。

†[Wlb]大卫王至耶路撒冷、入宫、将前所留守宫之妃十人、幽于别室、供其所需、不复进御、使如嫠妇、至于死日、

†[Xdv]大卫回到耶路撒冷王宫，把他以前留下来看守王宫的十个妃子禁闭起来，供给她们所需用的一切，但不跟她们同房。她们终生住冷宫，像寡妇一样。

†[Kjv]And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.

†[Nkjv]Now David came to his house at Jerusalem. And the king took the ten women, his concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in seclusion and supported them, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.

†[BBE]And David came to his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women to whom he had given the care of the house, and had them shut up, and gave them the necessaries of life, but did not go near them. So they were shut up till the day of their death, living as widows.

†[GNT] When David arrived at his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines he had left to take care of the palace, and put them under guard. He provided for their needs, but did not have intercourse with them. They were kept confined for the rest of their

†[NIV]When David returned to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines he had left to take care of the palace and put them in a house under guard. He provided for them, but did not lie with them. They were kept in confinement till the day of their dea

本会注释　　如同寡妇。大卫这十个妃嫔的悲惨命运显然是押沙龙实行亚希多弗所建议之可耻行为的结果（撒下16:21）。她们活着就有吃有住，但是实际上对她们来说丈夫是死的。

撒下20:4 王对亚玛撒说：“你要在三日之内将犹大人招聚了来，你也回到这里来。” (串)撒下17:25

†[吕]王对亚玛撒说：“你要在三天之内将犹大人给我招聚了来；你也要在这里站班。”

†[思]王对阿玛撒说：“叁天之内，你应给我召集犹大人，你也亲自也该来到这”。

†[当代]大卫命令亚玛撒要在三天内召集犹大官兵，向他报到。

†[新译]王对亚玛撒说：“你要在三天之内把犹大人召集到我这里来。你自己也要在这里。”

†[Wlb]王谓亚玛撒曰、限以三日、为我集犹大人、与尔偕至、

†[Xdv]王对亚玛撒说：“去召集犹大人，后天跟他们回到这里来。”

†[Kjv]Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.

†[Nkjv]And the king said to Amasa, "Assemble the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself."

†[BBE]Then the king said to Amasa, Get all the men of Judah together, and in three days be here yourself.

†[GNT] The king said to Amasa, "Call the men of Judah together and be back here with them by the day after tomorrow."

†[NIV]Then the king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and be here yourself."

本会注释　　对亚玛撒。大卫曾应许亚玛撒作他的元帅（撒下19:13）；他遵守了诺言。一场严重的危机已经兴起。亚玛撒受命在三日内将军队准备就绪，好粉碎叛乱。在这分裂与混乱的时期，对于一个新人来说，这并不是一件容易的任务。

撒下20:5 亚玛撒就去招聚犹大人，却耽延过了王所限的日期。

†[吕]亚玛撒就去招聚犹大人，却迟过了王所限定的日期。

†[思]阿彼撒去召集犹大人，但他迟延耽搁，过了君王他所定的期限。

†[当代]亚玛撒就去通知军队集合，但他却过了大卫所定的期限。

†[新译]亚玛撒就去召集犹大人。他却耽延，超过了王限定的日期。

†[Wlb]亚玛撒往集犹大人、稽延逾限、

†[Xdv]亚玛撒就去了，但是他没有在王规定的时间内回来。

†[Kjv]So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.

†[Nkjv]So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah. But he delayed longer than the set time which David had appointed him.

†[BBE]So Amasa went to get all the men of Judah together, but he took longer than the time David had given him.

†[GNT] Amasa went to call them, but he did not get back by the time the king had told him to.

†[NIV]But when Amasa went to summon Judah, he took longer than the time the king had set for him.

本会注释　　耽延过了。没有说明亚玛撒召集军队耽延的原因。老谋深算的约押仍旧对百姓有极大的控制力，并且几乎不能指望他会去做许多促进将在他的竞争者和接任者指挥之下组织作战部队的事。亚玛撒可能尽力而为了，但是可能每一步都受阻于仍旧忠于约押的官员和部下，也受阻于那时普遍流行的动荡与分裂中的内在困难。

撒下20:6 大卫对亚比筛说：“现在恐怕比基利的儿子示巴加害于我们比押沙龙更甚。你要带领你主的仆人追赶他，免得他得了坚固城，躲避我们。” (串)撒下11:11王上1:33

†[吕]大卫对亚比筛说：“现在比基利的儿子示巴必加害于我们、比押沙龙更厉害：你要带领你主上的仆人去追赶他，免得他得了堡垒城，就夺了我们的视线。”

†[思]达味就对阿彼撒说：“现今彼革黎的儿子舍巴危害我们，恐怕甚于阿贝沙隆。你快去领你主人的军队去追赶他，免得他占了设防的城，由我们眼前逃脱”。

†[当代]大卫对亚比筛说：“那示巴对我们所造成的祸害恐怕比押沙龙还要厉害。你现在马上带领我的守卫去捉拿他，要是给他取得了坚固的城堡，要对付他就更不容易了。”

†[新译]大卫对亚比筛说：“现在比基利的儿子示巴要加害我们，比押沙龙更甚。你要带着你主人的仆人去追赶他，免得他找到了设防的城镇，就避过我们的眼目，从我们的手中逃脱了。”

†[Wlb]大卫谓亚比筛曰、今比基利子示巴、必将贻害、更甚于押沙龙、当率尔主之仆、追袭其后、免其入于坚城、得以避我、

†[Xdv]于是王对亚比筛说：“恐怕示巴给我们的麻烦比押沙龙更大。你带我的部队去追他吧！不然他会占据设防的城镇，逃脱了我们。”

†[Kjv]And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.

†[Nkjv]And David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord's servants and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities, and escape us."

†[BBE]And David said to Abishai, Sheba, the son of Bichri, will do us more damage than Absalom did; so take some of your lord's servants and go after him, before he makes himself safe in the walled towns, and gets away before our eyes.

†[GNT] So the king said to Abishai, "Sheba will give us more trouble than Absalom. Take my men and go after him, or else he may occupy some fortified towns and escape from us."

†[NIV]David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba son of Bicri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your master's men and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and escape from us."

本会注释　　亚比筛。约押的兄弟（撒下2:18）。大卫最近曾表现出对他的不耐烦（撒下19:22），但是现在却求助于他而不是约押。他显然定意要越过约押，而不顾这场危机的严重性。但是约押并不容易被除掉，正如下面的事所显明的。
　　加害我们更甚。国家仍处于不满与不安的状态。大卫还没有重新获得对国务的坚定把握。在这种普遍的分裂状态中，几乎任何事都能发生，大卫敏锐到足以感到这种情形的极端危险性。此外，这次临到的分裂是犹大与以色列之间旧有的分裂。
　　坚固城。如果给示巴机会得到几座坚固城并获得其中一座城的城墙保护，扑灭他叛乱的任务就会变得极其困难了。在示巴巩固他的军队并建立坚固的防御阵地之前，大卫最大的希望就是速度。
　　躲避我们。直译是是“取走我们的眼睛。”有几种译法。七十士译本为“在我们的眼睛上投下阴影”。然而《塔古姆》是“使我们受害”，修订标准本为“使我们麻烦”。

撒下20:7 约押的人和基利提人、比利提人，并所有的勇士，都跟着亚比筛，从耶路撒冷出去追赶比基利的儿子示巴。 (串)撒下8:18;15:18本章23

†[吕]约押和做卫兵的基利提人比利提人并所有的勇士都跟着亚比筛（传统：人），从耶路撒冷出去，追赶比基利的儿子示巴。

†[思]约阿布的部下，革肋提人和培肋提人，以及所有的勇士，都跟阿彼撒去了。他们由耶路撒冷出发，赶走彼革黎的儿子舍巴。

†[当代]于是，约押和亚比筛就带同约押手下的精锐部队和大卫的卫兵，出发去追赶示巴。

†[新译]于是约押的人，基利提人、比利提人和所有的勇士，都跟随亚比筛出去。他们从耶路撒冷出去，追赶比基利的儿子示巴。

†[Wlb]约押之卒、与基利提人、比利提人、及众勇士从之、咸出耶路撒冷、追袭比基利子示巴、

†[Xdv]于是约押的部队，宫廷侍卫队，和所有的勇士都跟亚比筛一起离开耶路撒冷去追赶示巴。

†[Kjv]And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

†[Nkjv]So Joab's men, with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, went out after him. And they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

†[BBE]So there went after Abishai, Joab and the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the fighting-men; they went out of Jerusalem to overtake Sheba, the son of Bichri.

†[GNT] So Joab's men, the royal bodyguards, and all the other soldiers left Jerusalem with Abishai to go after Sheba.

†[NIV]So Joab's men and the Kerethites and Pelethites and all the mighty warriors went out under the command of Abishai. They marched out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bicri.

本会注释　　约押的人。大卫决心要解除约押的兵权，但是军队大都仍属于约押的，承认效忠他。
　　基利提人、比利提人。他们是大卫的特别卫队（见@撒下15:18@注释），由一小群受过良好训练、绝对忠诚可靠的人组成。把他们都派到战场说明形势的极端严重性，因为这样会使大卫在很大程度上在耶路撒冷处于无保护的状态。
　　所有的勇士。这是一个特别的勇士团队，在大卫早期流亡和后来作王时特别著名（见撒下23:8-39）。

撒下20:8 他们到了基遍的大磐石那里，亚玛撒来迎接他们。那时约押穿着战衣，腰束佩刀的带子，刀在鞘内；约押前行，刀从鞘内掉出来。

†[吕]他们到了基遍境内的大石头附近，亚玛撒向着他们迎面而来。那时约押穿着战衣，腰束佩刀带，刀在鞘里；他走出行伍的时候，这刀掉了下来。

†[思]当他们来到基贝红的大石旁，阿玛撒也迎面而来。约阿布身穿战袍，束着腰带，腰间挂着一把带鞘的刀。约阿布的刀出鞘落地。

†[当代]他们来到基遍的大石旁，就看见亚玛撒迎面而来。约押当时身穿战袍，腰间束有一把佩刀，他假意上前去要和亚玛撒拥抱，左手却偷偷把刀子从鞘中抽出来，他一面用右手抓住了亚玛撒的子，假装要和他亲嘴，口里还说：“兄弟，在这儿碰到你，真是好极了！”一面就乘著亚玛撒没有防备，把刀直刺入亚玛撒的肚腹；亚玛撒肠流遍地，也不用约押再刺第二刀就死去了。约押和亚比筛丢下亚玛撒的尸体，便继续去追赶示巴。

†[新译]他们到了基遍的大磐石那里，亚玛撒来与他们会合。那时约押穿着战衣，腰间束着佩刀的带子，刀在鞘里。他往前走的时候，刀掉了下来。

†[Wlb]至基遍之大磐、亚玛撒来迓、约押身衣戎衣、腰束以带、中挟刃、藏于鞘、行时刃坠、

†[Xdv]他们追到基遍的大岩石那里时，亚玛撒来迎接他们。那时约押穿着战衣，腰间佩剑，剑在鞘内。约押向前，他的剑从鞘内掉出来。

†[Kjv]When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.

†[Nkjv]When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. Now Joab was dressed in battle armor; on it was a belt with a sword fastened in its sheath at his hips; and as he was going forward, it fell out.

†[BBE]When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came face to face with them. Now Joab had on his war-dress, and round him a band from which his sword was hanging in its cover; and while he was walking, it came out, falling to the earth.

†[GNT] When they reached the large rock at Gibeon, Amasa met them. Joab was dressed for battle, with a sword in its sheath fastened to his belt. As he came forward, the sword fell out.

†[NIV]While they were at the great rock in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was wearing his military tunic, and strapped over it at his waist was a belt with a dagger in its sheath. As he stepped forward, it dropped out of its sheath.

本会注释　　基遍。耶路撒冷西北约9.6公里的一个城镇，现在是ej-Jîb。
　　来迎接他们。亚玛撒似乎集合了他的军队并跟随亚比筛北上。
　　刀从鞘内掉出来。这细节并不是完全清楚。约押穿着一件战衣，腰间束着一条佩刀的带子。当他走路时，刀掉了出来。有人认为当亚玛撒出现时，约押弯腰用左手把刀捡了起来。有人认为他可能另有武器隐藏着，掉刀只是让人看来他没有武装。

撒下20:9 约押左手拾起刀来，对亚玛撒说：“我兄弟，你好啊！”就用右手抓住亚玛撒的胡子，要与他亲嘴。 (串)太26:49可14:45路22:47

†[吕]约押对亚玛撒说：“我兄弟，你好阿（即：你平安么）！”就用右手抓住亚玛撒的胡子、要和他亲咀。

†[思]约阿布对阿玛撒说：“吾兄，你好？”约阿布遂用石手抓住阿玛撒的胡须，与他亲吻。

†[当代]－

†[新译]约押对亚玛撒说：“我的兄弟，你好吗？”约押用右手握住亚玛撒的胡子，要与他亲嘴。

†[Wlb]约押谓亚玛撒曰、吾兄安乎、乃以右手握其须、欲与接吻、

†[Xdv]约押对亚玛撒说：“朋友，你好吗？”就用右手握住他的胡子，要跟他亲嘴。

†[Kjv]And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.

†[Nkjv]Then Joab said to Amasa, "Are you in health, my brother?" And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

†[BBE]And Joab said to Amasa, Is it well, my brother? And with his right hand he took him by the hair of his chin to give him a kiss.

†[GNT] Joab said to Amasa, "How are you, my friend?" and took hold of his beard with his right hand in order to kiss him.

†[NIV]Joab said to Amasa, "How are you, my brother?" Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

本会注释　　用右手。约押用右手抓住他堂兄弟的胡须与他亲嘴的动作显然是亲戚之间一种常见的问候形式。

撒下20:10 亚玛撒没有防备约押手里所拿的刀；约押用刀刺入他的肚腹，他的肠子流在地上，没有再刺他，就死了。约押和他兄弟亚比筛往前追赶比基利的儿子示巴。 (串)王上2:5|士3:21撒下3:27撒下2:23

†[吕]亚玛撒没有提防约押手里的刀，约押用刀刺入他的五脏，他的肠子流在地上，没有再刺他，他就死了。约押和他的兄弟亚比筛往前追赶比基利的儿子示巴。

†[思]阿玛撒没有提防约阿布手中的刀；约阿布就用刀刺穿了他的肚腹，五脏倾流在地上，没有再刺第二下，他就死了。约阿布与自己的兄弟阿彼瑟，便往前追赶彼革黎的儿子舍巴。

†[当代]－

†[新译]亚玛撒没有防备约押手中的刀，约押用这刀刺进他的肚子，他的内脏就流在地上。不用再刺第二刀，亚玛撒就死了。约押和他的兄弟亚比筛继续追赶比基利的儿子示巴。

†[Wlb]亚玛撒不防约押手中之刃、约押刺其腹、肠流于地、不再击而即毙、约押与弟亚比筛、追袭比基利子示巴、

†[Xdv]亚玛撒没有防备约押另一只手握着的剑；约押用剑刺进他的肚子，内脏流在地上。约押用不着再刺第二下，亚玛撒就死了。约押和他弟弟亚比筛继续去追赶示巴。

†[Kjv]But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.

†[Nkjv]But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he struck him with it in the stomach, and his entrails poured out on the ground; and he did not strike him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

†[BBE]But Amasa did not see danger from the sword which was now in Joab's left hand, and Joab put it through his stomach so that his inside came out on to the earth, and he did not give him another blow. So Joab and his brother Abishai went on after Sheba, the son of Bichri.

†[GNT] Amasa was not on guard against the sword that Joab was holding in his other hand, and Joab stabbed him in the belly, and his insides spilled out on the ground. He died immediately, and Joab did not have to strike again. Then Joab and his brother Abishai

†[NIV]Amasa was not on his guard against the dagger in Joab's hand, and Joab plunged it into his belly, and his intestines spilled out on the ground. Without being stabbed again, Amasa died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bicri.

本会注释　　没有防备。事情发生得突然。约押的行为似乎很直接。亚玛撒丝毫没有怀疑会有背信弃义的事。
　　肚腹。他刺入了他的肚腹并使他的肠子流了出来（见撒下2:23）。
　　约押和亚比筛。亚玛撒死了。不管王命如何，谁是大卫军队的元帅已不存在疑问了。亚玛撒曾被赐与这个职位（4节），然后亚比筛奉命带领可以征集的军队出来（6节）。但是现在约押只是重掌旧职，什么也没问就继续追赶示巴。

撒下20:11 有约押的一个少年人站在亚玛撒尸身旁边，对众人说：“谁喜悦约押，谁归顺大卫，就当跟随约押去。”

†[吕]约押的僮仆中有一个人站在亚玛撒的尸身旁边，对众人说：“谁喜欢约押，谁归顺大卫，就跟着约押去吧。”

†[思]看守阿玛撒首的约阿布的一个兵士喊说：“谁喜爱约阿布，谁属达味，就跟约阿布去！”

†[当代]约押的一个年轻部下，站在亚玛撒的尸体旁边对亚玛撒的军队说：“如果你们是顺服大卫的，就跟随约押吧！”

†[新译]约押的仆从之中，有一个人站在亚玛撒的尸体旁边，说：“谁喜欢约押，谁归顺大卫，就当跟随约押去！”

†[Wlb]约押军中、有少者一人立于尸旁曰、凡悦约押、为大卫者、其从约押、

†[Xdv]有一个约押的随从站在亚玛撒尸体旁边喊说：“拥护约押和大卫的人都该跟着约押去！”

†[Kjv]And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.

†[Nkjv]Meanwhile one of Joab's men stood near Amasa, and said, "Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David--follow Joab!"

†[BBE]And one of Joab's young men, taking his place at Amasa's side, said, Whoever is for Joab and for David, let him go after Joab!

†[GNT] One of Joab's men stood by Amasa's body and called out, "Everyone who is for Joab and David follow Joab!"

†[NIV]One of Joab's men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever favors Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab!"

本会注释　　约押的一个少年人。此刻的要务是速速追赶示巴、镇压叛乱。约押感到一旦达到这个目的他就有机会与大卫言归于好。然而，同时还有亚玛撒的问题，他躺在地上滚在自己的血里（12节）。约押安排他的一个亲信在场负责，扬声呼喊，似乎亚玛撒被杀是因为他背叛了大卫的事业，而且现在是约押在带人追赶叛乱者，好使大卫可以最终稳坐宝座。冲突现场的人都知道约押对大卫的忠诚。他们也记得亚玛撒是押沙龙军队的元帅，是他们最近出兵进攻的人。这些人对亚玛撒没有什么信心，或许对除掉他还感到高兴呢。当然，约押杀死亚玛撒是因为他不能容忍这个竞争者。他决心要继续做元帅。

撒下20:12 亚玛撒在道路上滚在自己的血里。那人见众民经过都站住，就把亚玛撒的尸身从路上挪到田间，用衣服遮盖。

†[吕]亚玛撒在大路上辊在自己的血里。各人一看见，到他尸旁，就站着。那人看见众民经过，都站着，就把亚玛撒从大路上挪到田间，丢件衣服盖着。

†[思]阿玛撒此时卧在路中血泊中，那人见众人停留不前，就将阿玛撒的首，由路上搬到田，上面蓄上一件衣服，因为他见军人到了那，就停在首前。

†[当代]但这时亚玛撒满身鲜血的尸体伏在大路中间，吸引了一群人围观，约押的年轻部下便把亚玛撒的尸体拖进田里，用一件衣服盖著。

†[新译]亚玛撒在大道当中，辊在自己的血里。那人看见经过的众人都站住，就把亚玛撒的尸体从大道上拖到田里，又扔一件衣服把他盖住，因为他看见众人来到亚玛撒的尸体旁边都站住。

†[Wlb]时、亚玛撒仆于途间、卧于血中、少者见民至此而立、即移其尸、自大道至田间、掩之以衣、

†[Xdv]亚玛撒的尸体染满了血，躺在路当中。约押的随从看见经过那里的人都站住，就把尸体拖到田里，扔件衣服把它盖住。

†[Kjv]And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.

†[Nkjv]But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who came upon him halted.

†[BBE]And Amasa was stretched out in a pool of blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people were stopping, he took Amasa out of the highway and put him in a field, with a cloth over him, when he saw that everyone who went by came to a stop.

†[GNT] Amasa's body, covered with blood, was lying in the middle of the road. Joab's man saw that everybody was stopping, so he dragged the body from the road out into the field and threw a blanket over it.

†[NIV]Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the road, and the man saw that all the troops came to a halt there. When he realized that everyone who came up to Amasa stopped, he dragged him from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.

本会注释　　那人见。追赶示巴的军兵看到亚玛撒死了时，自然会停下询问。这就妨碍了追击。于是就把亚玛撒的尸体从路上挪开。抵达这里的人便可继续前进，只须跟着他们前面的人。

撒下20:13 尸身从路上挪移之后，众民就都跟随约押去追赶比基利的儿子示巴。

†[吕]尸身从大路上挪移之后，众民就都过去跟约押、去追赶比基利的儿子示巴。

†[思]首由路上搬走后，军人就都过去，跟随约阿布追赶彼革黎的儿子舍巴。

†[当代]尸体搬走了以后，大家就都跟随约押去追示巴了。

†[新译]尸体从大道上挪去以后，众人就都过去，跟随约押去追赶比基利的儿子示巴。

†[Wlb]既自大道移尸、民众遂从约押、追袭比基利子示巴、

†[Xdv]尸体从路上挪开以后，大家就跟着约押去追赶示巴。

†[Kjv]When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.

†[Nkjv]When he was removed from the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

†[BBE]When he had been taken off the road, all the people went on after Joab in search of Sheba, the son of Bichri.

†[GNT] After the body had been removed from the road, everyone followed Joab in pursuit of Sheba.

†[NIV]After Amasa had been removed from the road, all the men went on with Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bicri.

撒下20:14 他走遍以色列各支派，直到伯玛迦的亚比拉，并比利人的全地；那些地方的人也都聚集跟随他。 (串)王上15:20王下15:29

†[吕]示巴走遍以色列各族派、直到亚比拉伯玛迦，所有的比基利人却也聚集去跟从他。

†[思]舍巴走遍了以色列各支派，人都不理他。随后到了贝特玛阿加的阿贝耳，众彼革黎人却聚集起来，跟随了他。

†[当代]这时候，示巴已走遍以色列各族，并在伯玛迦的亚比拉城和比利人的全境，在那里招集了一批人来支持他。

†[新译]示巴走遍以色列各支派，直到伯玛迦的亚比拉和比利人的全境，他们聚集起来跟随他。

†[Wlb]约押遍行以色列诸支派、至伯玛迦之亚比拉、及比利人所、其人咸集相从、

†[Xdv]示巴走遍以色列各支族的地区，来到亚伯伯玛迦；所有比基利（希伯来文是：比利）宗族的人都集合起来，跟随他进城。

†[Kjv]And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.

†[Nkjv]And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel and Beth Maachah and all the Berites. So they were gathered together and also went after Sheba.

†[BBE]And Sheba went through all the tribes of Israel, to Abel of Beth-maacah; and all the Bichrites came together and went in after him.

†[GNT] Sheba passed through the territory of all the tribes of Israel and came to the city of Abel Beth Maacah, and all the members of the clan of Bikri assembled and followed him into the city.

†[NIV]Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel Beth Maacah and through the entire region of the Berites, who gathered together and followed him.

本会注释　　他。指示巴。
　　直到伯玛迦的亚比拉。可能是以色列尽北处的亚伯伯玛迦，属拿弗他利支派的一座坚固城（王上15:20；王下15:29），被认为是现代的Tell Abil，位于约旦河上游西部的一座小山，胡勒湖以北19公里处，靠近但。
　　比利人的全地。可能是住在亚伯伯玛迦附近的家庭或宗族。此外对他们一无所知。有人认为这里指的是示巴宗族的比基利人。示巴是比基利的儿子（1节）。
　　跟随他。他们跟随示巴。显然示巴把他的兵力集结在北方这片区域。如果不采取措施，不久他就对与大卫的军队进行残酷的战斗。

撒下20:15 约押和跟随的人到了伯玛迦的亚比拉，围困示巴，就对着城筑垒；跟随约押的众民用锤撞城，要使城塌陷。 (串)王下19:32传9:14赛37:33耶6:6结4:2;26:8

†[吕]约押和跟随的人来到，将示巴围困在亚比拉伯玛迦，对那城倒起土堆来；土堆跟外郭并立着；跟着约押的众民都用锤撞击（或译：都设计）、要使内城墙倒塌下来。

†[思]约阿布大军前来，把他包围在贝特玛阿加的阿贝内，兴攻城的壁垒。跟随约阿布的大军遂下手挖城墙，使墙倒塌。

†[当代]约押的大军杀到，就把亚比拉城包围起来，他们在城墙外筑了一个土堆，约押的军士就攀在上面，用力捣毁城墙。

†[新译]所有跟随约押的人都来了，把示巴围困在伯玛迦的亚比拉。他们对着城筑起攻城的土垒，高度与城的外墙一样。他们撞击城墙，要把城墙撞倒。

†[Wlb]遂至、围示巴于伯玛迦之亚比拉、附城筑垒、陷其墙垣、欲倾圮之、

†[Xdv]约押的部队听说示巴在那里就去围攻那城。他们对着城的外墙筑起攻城的土垒，并且从墙底下挖洞，要使墙倒塌。

†[Kjv]And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.

†[Nkjv]Then they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maachah; and they cast up a siege mound against the city, and it stood by the rampart. And all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.

†[BBE]And Joab and his men got him shut up in Abel of Beth-maacah, and put up an earthwork against the town: and all Joab's men did their best to get the wall broken down.

†[GNT] Joab's men heard that Sheba was there, and so they went and besieged the city. They built ramps of earth against the outer wall and also began to dig under the wall to make it fall down.

†[NIV]All the troops with Joab came and besieged Sheba in Abel Beth Maacah. They built a siege ramp up to the city, and it stood against the outer fortifications. While they were battering the wall to bring it down,

本会注释　　围困。示巴有足够的时间退到一座坚固城里，所以只能将城围困起来。
　　筑垒。见王下19:32；赛37:33。这是古代东方围城的一种常见方法。城墙的最薄弱部分靠近顶端，可能只是用泥砖建成的，而底部却是用石头建成的。对着城墙筑造土垒，如果使用围城器械的话，就会安置在它上面。这样就可以将城墙撞出一个洞，从而进城。垒筑在壕沟（chel）里。有人认为chel是指外城墙的较低部分和主墙体之间的加强部位，或是外城墙本身，或是缓冲地带，有人认为这是比喻护城河或壕沟。对着主城墙筑垒，围攻者就能发起最后的进攻。
　　使城塌陷。不知道大卫的军队有没有象攻城槌那样的围城器械。在后来的年月中，亚述和巴比伦军队经常使用它，给他们带来了极大的成功。

撒下20:16 有一个聪明妇人从城上呼叫说：“听啊，听啊，请约押近前来，我好与他说话。”

†[吕]有一个聪明的妇人从城上呼叫说：“听阿，听阿！请告诉约押说：‘请走近前来，我好和你说话。’”

†[思]当时城中有个聪明的妇人，站在城墙上喊说：“请听！请听！你们对约阿布说：来这，我有话对你说”。

†[当代]城中有一个聪明的妇人，她从城上喊著说：“约押啊，请你走近这边来，我有话要对你说。”

†[新译]有一个聪明的妇人在城墙上呼叫：“请听！请听！请你们对约押说：‘请你走近这里，我有话对你说。’”

†[Wlb]有一哲妇自邑呼曰、听之听之、请约押来前、吾欲与言、

†[Xdv]城里一个聪明的女人从城墙上喊着说：“听啊，听啊！去请约押到这里来；我要跟他说话。”

†[Kjv]Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.

†[Nkjv]Then a wise woman cried out from the city, "Hear, hear! Please say to Joab, "Come nearby, that I may speak with you."'

†[BBE]Then a wise woman got up on the wall, and crying out from the town, said, Give ear, give ear; say now to Joab, Come near, so that I may have talk with you.

†[GNT] There was a wise woman in the city who shouted from the wall, "Listen! Listen! Tell Joab to come here; I want to speak with him."

†[NIV]a wise woman called from the city, "Listen! Listen! Tell Joab to come here so I can speak to him."

本会注释　　一个聪明的妇人。这个妇人请求与约押协商。她的城市即将因一个反叛大卫的人而血流成河。这在她看来是不合理的。

撒下20:17 约押就近前来，妇人问他说：“你是约押不是？”他说：“我是。”妇人说：“求你听婢女的话。”约押说：“我听。”

†[吕]约押走近前去；妇人问他说：“你是约押不是？”他说：“是的。”妇人对他说：“请听使女的话。”约押说：“我正在听呢。”

†[思]约阿布来到她那，妇人便问说：“你是约阿布吗？”他答说：“我是”。她便对他说：“请你听你婢女一言！”他答说：“我听”。

†[当代]约押就走上前去，那妇人问道：“你就是约押吗？”约押回答说：“不错，我就是。”“你听我说几句话好吗？”“你说吧！”

†[新译]约押走近妇人那里，妇人问：“你是约押吗？”他回答：“我是。”妇人对他说：“请听婢女的话！”他说：“我正在听！”

†[Wlb]既近、妇曰、尔约押乎、曰、是也、妇曰、请听婢言、曰、吾听之、

†[Xdv]约押来了；那女人问：“你是约押吗？”“是的！”约押回答。那女人说：“请听婢女的话。”约押说：“我在听。”

†[Kjv]And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.

†[Nkjv]When he had come near to her, the woman said, "Are you Joab?" He answered, "I am." Then she said to him, "Hear the words of your maidservant." And he answered, "I am listening."

†[BBE]And he came near, and the woman said, Are you Joab? And he said in answer, I am. Then she said, Give ear to your servant's words. And he said, I am giving ear.

†[GNT] Joab went, and she asked, "Are you Joab?" "Yes, I am," he answered. "Listen to me, sir," she said. "I'm listening," he answered.

†[NIV]He went toward her, and she asked, "Are you Joab?" "I am," he answered. She said, "Listen to what your servant has to say." "I'm listening," he said.

撒下20:18 妇人说：“古时有话说，当先在亚比拉求问，然后事就定妥。

†[吕]妇人说道：“古时常有话说：“只要在亚比拉求问，事就解决。

†[思]她说：“从前有句话说：你去问问阿贝耳，事便可解决。

†[当代]那妇人对他说：“我们这里有一句话是这样的：‘如果有争辩，到亚比拉去求问一下，事情就会迎刃而解。’这城的人常常会提供好意见，

†[新译]妇人说：“古时人常说：‘只要在亚比拉求问，事就必成全。’

†[Wlb]妇曰、昔人有言、必问于亚比拉、乃毕其事、

†[Xdv]那女人说：“古时候人常说：‘到埃布尔去请教吧！’他们真的这样做。

†[Kjv]Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.

†[Nkjv]So she spoke, saying, "They used to talk in former times, saying, "They shall surely seek guidance at Abel,' and so they would end disputes.

†[BBE]Then she said, In the old days, there was a saying, Let them put the question in Abel and in Dan, saying, Has what was ordered by men of good faith in Israel ever come to an end?

†[GNT] She said, "Long ago they used to say, "Go and get your answer in the city of Abel' - and that's just what they did.

†[NIV]She continued, "Long ago they used to say, 'Get your answer at Abel,' and that settled it.

撒下20:19 我们这城的人在以色列人中是和平、忠厚的。你为何要毁坏以色列中的大城，吞灭耶和华的产业呢？” (串)撒下17:16|撒上26:19

†[吕]我们是以色列中和平忠厚的人；你竟想法子要毁坏（传统：杀害）一座城、又是以色列中的一座府城（传统：母城）！你为什么要吞没永恒主的产业（即：子民）呢？”

†[思]我在以色列算是一座和平忠厚的城，你却图谋消灭一座以色列的母城。为什么你要吞灭上主的产业？”

†[当代]我们热爱和平，又忠心于以色列，但是现在你们却要毁灭这座城，你们可以这样对待主的产业吗？”

†[新译]我在以色列中是和平信实的人，你却设法毁灭这座以色列的母城。你为什么要吞灭耶和华的产业呢？”

†[Wlb]我邑在以色列中、和平忠信、今尔欲灭以色列之母邑、何为并吞耶和华之业乎、

†[Xdv]我们的城是一座伟大的城，在以色列中是最和平，最忠诚的城。你为什么想毁灭它呢？你要消灭上主的产业吗？”

†[Kjv]I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?

†[Nkjv]I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?"

†[BBE]Your purpose is the destruction of a mother-town in Israel: why would you put an end to the heritage of the Lord?

†[GNT] Ours is a great city, one of the most peaceful and loyal in Israel. Why are you trying to destroy it? Do you want to ruin what belongs to the Lord?"

†[NIV]We are the peaceful and faithful in Israel. You are trying to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the Lord 's inheritance?"

本会注释　　毁坏……大城。约押与示巴的战争已经变成了与亚比拉城的战争。这座古城连同它和平的居民现在都处于毁灭的危险中。

撒下20:20 约押回答说：“我决不吞灭毁坏，

†[吕]约押回答说：“我绝对不吞没不毁坏。

†[思]约阿布答说：“决无此事，我决无意消灭或破坏。

†[当代]约押回答说：“我们根本没有打算要损坏这城，

†[新译]约押回答：“绝对不会！我绝对不会吞灭，也不会毁坏。

†[Wlb]约押曰、我决不并吞毁灭之、

†[Xdv]约押说：“不，我绝对不毁灭你们的城！

†[Kjv]And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

†[Nkjv]And Joab answered and said, "Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy!

†[BBE]And Joab, answering her, said, Far, far be it from me to be a cause of death or destruction;

†[GNT] "Never!" Joab answered. "I will never ruin or destroy your city!

†[NIV]Far be it from me!" Joab replied, "Far be it from me to swallow up or destroy!

撒下20:21 乃因以法莲山地的一个人比基利的儿子示巴举手攻击大卫王，你们若将他一人交出来，我便离城而去。”妇人对约押说：“那人的首级必从城墙上丢给你。” (串)书24:33

†[吕]事情决不至于如此；只因以法莲山地有一个人、比基利的儿子名叫示巴，他举手攻击大卫王；你们只要将他一人交出来，我便离城而去。”妇人对约押说：“看吧，那人的头，一定从城墙上丢给你。”

†[思]完全不是这么一回事；只因厄弗辣因山地的一人，即彼革黎的儿子名叫舍巴的，造反抗拒达味王；只要你们将他交来，我即撤离此城”。妇人对约阿布说：“请看，他的头由城上抛给你”。

†[当代]我们只是想要以法莲山地一个叫示巴的人。他背叛大卫王，图谋造反，你们只要把他交出来，我们便会撤退了。”“好吧！我们一定会把他的首级抛下来给你的。”那妇人说。

†[新译]事情不是这样的；只因以法莲山地有一个人名叫示巴，是比基利的儿子，他举手攻击大卫王。你们只要把他一人交出来，我就离开这城。”妇人对约押说：“看哪！那人的头必从这城墙上丢给你。”

†[Wlb]其事非若是也、惟以法莲山地之人、比基利子示巴、举手攻大卫王、今独以之付我、我即离邑而去、妇曰、必以其首掷于城外、

†[Xdv]那不是我们的计划。有一个人叫示巴，是比基利的儿子，从以法莲山区来。他煽动叛变，敌对大卫王。你们只要把这个人交出来，我就下令撤退。”那女人说：“我们会从墙上把他的头扔给你！”

†[Kjv]The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.

†[Nkjv]That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." So the woman said to Joab, "Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

†[BBE]Not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba, son of Bichri, by name, has taken up arms against the king, against David: give up this man only, and I will go away from the town. And the woman said to Joab, His head will be dropped over the wall to you.

†[GNT] That is not our plan. A man named Sheba son of Bikri, who is from the hill country of Ephraim, started a rebellion against King David. Hand over this one man, and I will withdraw from the city." "We will throw his head over the wall to you," she said.

†[NIV]That is not the case. A man named Sheba son of Bicri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Hand over this one man, and I'll withdraw from the city." The woman said to Joab, "His head will be thrown to y

撒下20:22 妇人就凭她的智慧去劝众人。他们便割下比基利的儿子示巴的首级，丢给约押。约押吹角，众人就离城而散，各归各家去了。约押回耶路撒冷，到王那里。 (串)传9:15|撒上4:10

†[吕]妇人就凭她的聪明去见众民。他们便割下比基利的儿子示巴的头，丢给约押，约押吹号角，众人就离城散开，各回各家（原文：帐棚）去了。约押也回耶路撒冷到王那里。

†[思]妇人就去凭自己的智慧劝说众百姓。他们便砍了彼革黎的儿子舍巴的头，抛给约阿布。约阿布遂吹起号角，撤兵离城，各自了本家。约阿布也回了耶路撒冷君王那。

†[当代]于是，那妇人便运用她的机智，把这件事提出来和城内的居民商量。他们便把示巴的头割下来，抛给约押。约押就吹响号角，下令军队停止攻城，班师回耶路撒冷。

†[新译]妇人就凭她的智慧去见众人，他们就把比基利的儿子示巴的头砍下来，丢给约押；约押吹号角，众人就离城散开，各回自己的家去了。约押也回耶路撒冷去见大卫王。

†[Wlb]妇以智慧劝众、遂斩比基利子示巴首、掷与约押、约押吹角、众乃离邑而散、各归其幕、约押返耶路撒冷觐王、

本会注释　　众人。这妇人证明自己确实是聪明的。她去找那些身家性命都处于危险中的人，并与他们商量这个问题。如果她去找示巴，无疑不会给这城的百姓带来什么，只会给她自己带来麻烦。如果什么都不做，亚比拉的居民就要为示巴的自私和野心付上代价。
　　吹角。敌对状态结束的信号（见撒下2:28；18:16）。

本会注释　　约押作全军的元帅。大卫官员的名单列在23-26节，这与早先列出的名单有些不同（撒下8:16-18）。约押镇压了示巴的叛乱后保留了他的元帅职位。

本会注释　　掌管服苦的人。见王上5:14。这一职务原先在撒下8:16-18或代上18:14-17的名单中没有提到，似乎只是在大卫作王的后期才有。在所罗门作王期间，这个职务由“亚比大的儿子亚多尼兰”担任（王上4:6），在罗波安作王初期由“亚多兰”担任（王上12:18）。可能这些不同的经文指的是同一个人。强迫服苦的制度在所罗门作王时期成了以色列人的肉中刺，以致在罗波安作王之初，北方众支派起来背叛的困难时辰，亚多兰被石头打死了（王上12:18）。
　　约沙法。曾在大卫早期官员的名单中提到。在所罗门作王的时候，他仍担任这一职位（王上4:3）。关于他的工作，见@撒下8:16@注释。

†[GNT] Sheva was the court secretary; Zadok and Abiathar were the priests,

†[NIV]Sheva was secretary; Zadok and Abiathar were priests;

本会注释　　撒督和亚比亚他。以前曾提到撒督和“亚比亚他的儿子亚希米勒”为祭司（撒下8:17）。但这份名单属于大卫作王的后期。所以看到儿子似乎在父亲之前作祭司，很令人惊讶。关于这些人，见@撒下8:17@注释。

撒下20:26 睚珥人以拉作大卫的宰相。 (串)撒下23:38

†[NIV]and Ira the Jairite was David's priest.

本会注释　　睚珥人的以拉。这位官员没有列在撒下8:16-18的名单中，也没有列在代上18:14-17的名单中。据推测他与撒下23:38大卫勇士中的“以帖人以拉”可能是同一个人，但关于这一点圣经没有说明。
