列王纪上第12章

《圣经》列王纪上-第12章

王上12:1 罗波安往示剑去；因为以色列人都到了示剑要立他作王。 (串)书24:1本章25代下10:1|士9:6

†[吕]罗波安往示剑去；因为以色列众人都到了示剑、要立他作王。

†[思]勒哈贝罕去了舍根，因为全以色列集合在舍根，要立他为王。

†[当代]以色列人准备在示剑为罗波安举行加冕大典，于是，他就到示剑去了。

†[新译]罗波安往示剑去，因为以色列众人都到了示剑，要立他作王。

†[Wlb]罗波安往示剑、因以色列众至彼、欲立之为王、

†[Xdv]罗波安到示剑去；以色列人都聚集在那里，拥立他作王。

†[Kjv]And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

†[Nkjv]And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king.

†[BBE]And Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had come together to make him king,

†[GNT] Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all the people of northern Israel had gathered to make him king.

†[NIV]Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all the Israelites had gone there to make him king.

本会注释　　罗波安。第12,13,14章延续了对所罗门统治比较详细叙述的风格。《历代志》的记录略去了所罗门拜偶像和他敌人的整个叙情况之后，叙述了罗波安早期的历史，与《列王纪》几乎完全一样（代下10:1-19；11:1-4；参见王上12:1-24）。
　　示剑。选择示剑作为加冕地点可能是为了确保以法莲和其他北方支派的效忠。示剑位于全国的中心，基利心山和以巴路山之间。约书亚曾在这里召集全民大会（书8:30-35）。约瑟的骸骨埋在离示剑不远的地方（书24:32）。雅各的井也在示剑附近（创33:19；创37:12；约4:5,6；参书24:32）。

王上12:2 尼八的儿子耶罗波安先前躲避所罗门王，逃往埃及，住在那里（他听见这事。） (串)王上11:26|王上11:40

†[吕]尼八的儿子耶罗波安──那时还在埃及，他逃避所罗门王的地方，他听见了这事，还一直住在埃及；

†[思]乃巴特的儿子雅洛贝罕，为躲避撒罗满王，曾逃往埃及，现在听说撒罗满已死，便从挨家埃及回来了。

†[当代]那时，为了躲避所罗门王而避居埃及的耶罗波安也听到了加冕的消息。

†[新译]尼八的儿子耶罗波安那时因逃避所罗门的面，仍然住在埃及，他听见了这事。

†[Wlb]昔尼八子耶罗波安、避所罗门王、遁于埃及居焉、今闻此事、

†[Xdv]尼八的儿子耶罗波安因逃避所罗门王到埃及去；他一听到罗波安作王的消息就从埃及赶回来（希伯来文是：就留在埃及）。

†[Kjv]And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)

†[Nkjv]So it happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was still in Egypt, for he had fled from the presence of King Solomon and had been dwelling in Egypt),

†[BBE]And, hearing of it, Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who was still in Egypt, where he had gone in flight from Solomon, and was living there, came back to his town Zeredah, in the hill-country of Ephraim;

†[GNT] When Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had gone to Egypt to escape from King Solomon, heard this news, he returned from Egypt.

†[NIV]When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard this (he was still in Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon), he returned from Egypt.

王上12:3 以色列人打发人去请他来，他就和以色列会众都来见罗波安，对他说：

†[吕]这时以色列人就丁发人去请他来──以色列全体大众（传统：耶罗波安和以色列全体大众）都来，对罗波安说：

†[思]有人派人请了他回来，他便和以色列全会众前来，对勒哈贝罕说：“

†[当代]后来，以色列人请他到示剑相会，他就跟以色列民众一起来见罗波安，说：

†[新译]以色列人就派遣人去请他来，于是耶罗波安和以色列全体会众都来见罗波安，告诉他说：

†[Wlb]民众遣人招之、遂与以色列会众、来见罗波安曰、

†[Xdv]北部支族的人民派人去请他来，然后跟他一起去见罗波安，对他说：

†[Kjv]That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,

†[Nkjv]that they sent and called him. Then Jeroboam and the whole assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

†[BBE]And all the men of Israel came to Rehoboam and said,

†[GNT] The people of the northern tribes sent for him, and then they all went together to Rehoboam and said to him,

†[NIV]So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and the whole assembly of Israel went to Rehoboam and said to him:

本会注释　　请他。代下10:2,3的记录似乎暗示人们不是从埃及，而是从以法莲请回耶罗波安的。无疑耶罗波安此前已从埃及返回了。耶罗波安是一个公认的领袖。人民有对王权不满的正当理由，在这个场合自然会提出来，并让耶罗波安参与这一行动。

王上12:4 “你父亲使我们负重轭，做苦工，现在求你使我们做的苦工、负的重轭轻松些，我们就事奉你。” (串)撒上8:11-18

†[吕]“你父亲使我们的轭很难负；你呢，现在你使你父亲那令人很难作的工、和他所加在我们身上的重轭、轻松些吧，我们就服事你。”

†[思]你的父亲使我们的负担繁重，现在，你得减轻你父亲加给我们的苦役和重轭，我们肯服事你。”

†[当代]“先王要我们负重轭、做苦工；求你减轻人民的负担吧，我们一定会忠心服事陛下的。”

†[新译]“你父亲加给我们的重担，现在求你减轻你父亲使我们作的苦工和加在我们背上的重担，我们就服事你。”

†[Wlb]尔父使我侪负轭艰苦、尔其轻尔父之重轭、与艰苦之役事、我则服事尔、

†[Xdv]“你父亲所罗门使我们背负重担。如果你减轻我们的担子，使我们的生活过得去，我们就归顺你。”

†[Kjv]Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.

†[Nkjv]"Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he put on us, and we will serve you."

†[BBE]Your father put a hard yoke on us: if you will make the conditions under which your father kept us down less cruel, and the weight of the yoke he put on us less hard, then we will be your servants.

†[GNT] "Your father Solomon treated us harshly and placed heavy burdens on us. If you make these burdens lighter and make life easier for us, we will be your loyal subjects."

†[NIV]Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but now lighten the harsh labor and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you."

本会注释　　抱怨是有充分原因的。人民不满沉重的赋税和所罗门为他庞大的建设工程而征召的徭役。作为整个以法莲家徭役和总管，耶罗波安无疑听到了很多的抱怨，对于人民广泛的不满情绪也能比王的其他顾问了解得更多。减轻负担是合理的要求，对于王来说，倾听人民的呼声是一件既公正又明智的事情。

王上12:5 罗波安对他们说：“你们暂且去，第三日再来见我。”民就去了。

†[吕]罗波安对他们说：“你们暂且去，第三天再来见我。”众民就去。

†[思]他回答他们说：“你们暂时回去，叁天以后再来见我。”人民就都走了。

†[当代]罗波安对他们说：“你们暂且回去，让我考虑一下，你们三天之后再来见我吧。”

†[新译]罗波安回答他们：“你们暂时回去，三天以后再来见我。”众民就离开了。

†[Wlb]王曰、姑退、越三日、复来见我、民乃去、

†[Xdv]罗波安说：“三天后再来，我会答复你们。”于是他们走了。

†[Kjv]And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.

†[Nkjv]So he said to them, "Depart for three days, then come back to me." And the people departed.

†[BBE]And he said to them, Go away for three days and then come back to me again. So the people went away.

†[GNT] "Come back in three days and I will give you my answer," he replied. So they left.

†[NIV]Rehoboam answered, "Go away for three days and then come back to me." So the people went away.

本会注释　　第三日。就是后天（第12节）。

王上12:6 罗波安之父所罗门在世的日子，有侍立在他面前的老年人，罗波安王和他们商议，说：“你们给我出个什么主意，我好回复这民。”

†[吕]罗波安的父亲所罗门活着的时候有些侍立在他面前的老年人：罗波安王和这些老年人商议说：“你们给我出个什么主意，我好有话去回答这众民呢？”

†[思]勒哈贝罕便同那些在他父亲撒罗满生时，作臣仆的老年人商议说：“依你们的意见，我该怎样答覆这些民众？”

†[当代]于是，罗波安就去征询以前在朝中服事所罗门的老臣子的意见。

†[新译]罗波安王请教他父亲所罗门在世的时候，侍立在他面前的长老说：“你们给我出个主意，我应该怎样回答这民呢？”

†[Wlb]其父所罗门存日、有侍其前之耆老、罗波安王与之议曰、汝有何谋、以答斯民、

†[Xdv]罗波安王征询几个元老的意见；他们曾经作过他父亲所罗门王的顾问。他问他们：“你们认为我该怎样回答这些人呢？”

†[Kjv]And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?

†[Nkjv]Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, "How do you advise me to answer these people?"

†[BBE]Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?

†[GNT] King Rehoboam consulted the older men who had served as his father Solomon's advisers. "What answer do you advise me to give these people?" he asked.

†[NIV]Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. "How would you advise me to answer these people?" he asked.

本会注释　　老年人。所罗门的顾问应该了解人民的怨气，并想针对接下来可能发生的事给王提出好的建议。这些人不一定年纪大，而是指他们经验丰富。

王上12:7 老年人对他说：“现在王若服事这民如仆人，用好话回答他们，他们就永远作王的仆人。”

†[吕]老年人对他说：“今天王若肯做这人民的公仆而服事他们，回答他们时对他们说好话，他们就必日日不断地做王的仆人。”

†[思]他们回答说：“如果你今天愿意作这民众的仆人，服事他们，答应他们，对他们说好话，他们必会常常服事你。”

†[当代]他们建议说：“倘若陛下愿意服事人民、作人民的公仆，批准他们的请求，好言相待他们，他们就会永远效忠陛下了。

†[新译]长老对他说：“今天如果王作这民的仆人，服事他们，用好话回答他们，他们就常作王的仆人。”

†[Wlb]佥曰、今日尔若愿为斯民之仆、而服事之、答以善言、彼必永为尔仆、

†[Xdv]他们说：“如果你想好好地为人民服务，那么，答复他们时说些好话，他们就会永远对你效忠。”

†[Kjv]And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.

†[Nkjv]And they spoke to him, saying, "If you will be a servant to these people today, and serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be your servants forever."

†[BBE]And they said to him, If you will be a servant to this people today, caring for them and giving them a gentle answer, then they will be your servants for ever.

†[GNT] They replied, "If you want to serve this people well, give a favorable answer to their request, and they will always serve you loyally."

†[NIV]They replied, "If today you will be a servant to these people and serve them and give them a favorable answer, they will always be your servants."

本会注释　　仆人。王对人民的第一职责是服务，而不是统治。如果人民知道王将他们的利益放在首要的位置，他们的心就会和他联结在一起，他们就自愿做王的仆人。正如基督来到世界“不是要受人的服事，乃是要服事人，并且要舍命，作多人的赎价”（太20:28）。

王上12:8 王却不用老年人给他出的主意，就和那些与他一同长大、在他面前侍立的少年人商议，

†[吕]王却弃绝了老年人给他出的主意，反而和那些跟他一齐长大、侍立在他面前的少年人商议，

†[思]但是，君王竟拒绝了老年人给他出的主意，反去同那些与他一起长大，侍立在他面前的少年商议，

†[当代]可是，罗波安却没有接纳他们的意见；他再去谘询那些和他一起长大的青年。

†[新译]可是王拒绝了老年人给他出的主意，反去请教那些与他一起长大，侍立在他面前的年轻人，

†[Wlb]惟王违弃耆老之谋、与侍其前、偕己同长之少者谋、

†[Xdv]可是，罗波安不理会这些元老的话，却去找一些年轻人；他们是跟他一起长大的，现在作他的顾问。

†[Kjv]But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:

†[Nkjv]But he rejected the advice which the elders had given him, and consulted the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

†[BBE]But he gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, and went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him:

†[GNT] But he ignored the advice of the older men and went instead to the young men who had grown up with him and who were now his advisers.

†[NIV]But Rehoboam rejected the advice the elders gave him and consulted the young men who had grown up with him and were serving him.

本会注释　　不用老年人给他出的主意。岁月带来经验，智慧随年龄增长。初出茅庐的少年人何时抛弃了老年人的劝勉，何时愚昧就要显露。
　　少年人。多方征询意见这本是好的，但应该记得，青年人通常看不到有经验和智慧的老年人所能看到的东西。

王上12:9 说：“这民对我说：‘你父亲使我们负重轭，求你使我们轻松些。’你们给我出个什么主意，我好回复他们。”

†[吕]问他们说：“这众民对我说：‘你使你父亲所加在我们身上的轭轻松些吧’；你们给我出个什么主意，我好有话回答他们呢？”

†[思]问他们说：“这些人民对我说：请你将你父亲加于我们的重轭减轻些。依你们的意见我该怎样答覆他们？”

†[当代]－

†[新译]问他们：“你们的主意怎样，我应该怎样回复这民？他们对我说：‘请你减轻你父亲加在我们身上的重担。’”

†[Wlb]曰、斯民谓我云、尔父加我之轭、求尔轻之、汝有何谋、以答斯民、

†[Xdv]罗波安问他们：“你们有什么建议？那些人要求我减轻他们的担子，我该怎样回答他们呢？”

†[Kjv]And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?

†[Nkjv]And he said to them, "What advice do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, "Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?"

†[BBE]And said to them, What is your opinion? What answer are we to give to this people who have said to me, Make less the weight of the yoke which your father put on us?

†[GNT] "What do you advise me to do?" he asked. "What shall I say to the people who are asking me to make their burdens lighter?"

†[NIV]He asked them, "What is your advice? How should we answer these people who say to me, 'Lighten the yoke your father put on us'?"

王上12:10 那同他长大的少年人说：“这民对王说：‘你父亲使我们负重轭，求你使我们轻松些。’王要对他们如此说：‘我的小拇指头比我父亲的腰还粗。

†[吕]那些跟他一齐长大的少年人对他说：“这人民对王说：‘你父亲使我们负的轭很重，你呢，你使我们轻松些吧’：王要对他们这么说：‘我的小拇指比我父亲的腰还粗呢。

†[思]这些与他一起长大的少年人答说：“这些人民对你说：你父亲使我们负担繁重，请你给我们减轻些！你要回答他们，对他们这样说：我的小指比我父亲的腰还粗！

†[当代]他们就唆使罗波安说：“这些人说先王要他们负重轭、做苦工，请求陛下减轻他们的负担。陛下可以这样回覆他们：‘我小拇指比先王的腰还要粗！

†[新译]那些与他一同长大的年轻人回答他：“这民对王说：‘你父亲加重我们的重担，现在求你减轻我们的重担。’你要这样回答他们：‘我的小指头比我父亲的腰还粗！

†[Wlb]偕彼同长之少者曰、斯民谓尔云、尔父使我负重轭、求为我轻之、可答之曰、我之小指、巨于我父之腰、

†[Xdv]他们说：“你可以这样告诉他们：‘我的小手指比我父亲的腰还粗！

†[Kjv]And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger sh

†[Nkjv]Then the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you should speak to this people who have spoken to you, saying, "Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter on us'--thus you shall say to them: "My little finger shall

†[BBE]And the young men of his generation said to him, This is the answer to give to the people who came to you saying, Your father put a hard yoke on us; will you make it less? say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's body;

†[GNT] They replied, "This is what you should tell them: "My little finger is thicker than my father's waist!'

†[NIV]The young men who had grown up with him replied, "Tell these people who have said to you, 'Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter'-tell them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.

本会注释　　罗波安的青年同伴给他的建议没有一点智慧，只有轻率和傲慢，对于国王奉命服务之人民的福利，没有显出一点温柔的牵挂，不顾人民表达出来的意愿，执意强化统治。这些建议用没有必要的冒犯性的语言说了出来，非但没有缓和事态，反倒令其加剧了。这些年轻人以倔强当勇敢，把自负和骄傲当成智慧。他们没有看出当时的兆头，他们的建议使反叛不可避免地发生了。

王上12:11 我父亲使你们负重轭，我必使你们负更重的轭！我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我要用蝎子鞭责打你们！’”

†[吕]我父亲将负的轭给你们驮上，现在呢、我要加重你们的轭呢；我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我却要用蝎子鞭责打你们呢。’”

†[思]我父亲曾加重了你们的重担，我更要加重你们的重担；我父亲用皮鞭责打你们，我却要用铁刺鞭责打你们！”

†[当代]先王要你们负重轭，我要你们负更重的轭！他用鞭子打你们，我却要用蝎子鞭抽打你们！’”

†[新译]我父亲把一个重担加在你们身上，我要使你们负更重的重担；我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我要用蝎子鞭责打你们。’”

†[Wlb]我父使尔负重轭、我必益之、我父责尔以鞭、我则责尔以蝎、

†[Xdv]我父亲给你们重担，我要给你们更重的担。他用鞭子打你们，我要用刺棒击打你们！’”

†[Kjv]And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

†[Nkjv]And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!"'

†[BBE]If my father put a hard yoke on you, I will make it harder: my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give you blows with snakes.

†[GNT] Tell them, "My father placed heavy burdens on you; I will make them even heavier. He beat you with whips; I'll flog you with bullwhips!' "

†[NIV]My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.' "

本会注释　　蝎子。这个比喻表示鞭子上带有钩或刺，给人带来异常剧烈的刺痛。

王上12:12 耶罗波安和众百姓遵着罗波安王所说“你们第三日再来见我”的那话，第三日他们果然来了。

†[吕]众民（传统：耶罗波安和众民）照罗波安王所说“你们第三天再来见我”的那话、第三天果然来见罗波安了。

†[思]雅洛贝罕和全体人民照君王所说：“你们第叁天再来见我”的话，第叁天就来见勒哈贝罕。

†[当代]过了三天，耶罗波安和人民依约再来。王采纳了那些青年的意见，严词厉色地对他们说：

†[新译]耶罗波安和众民，照王所说“三天以后再来见我”的那话，第三天来见罗波安。

†[Wlb]越三日、耶罗波安与民众、咸诣罗波安、循王所命、越三日复来见我之言、

†[Xdv]三天以后，耶罗波安和所有人民照罗波安王的指示再到他面前。

†[Kjv]So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.

†[Nkjv]So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had directed, saying, "Come back to me the third day."

†[BBE]So all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had given orders, saying, Come back to me the third day.

†[GNT] Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to King Rehoboam, as he had instructed them.

†[NIV]Three days later Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, as the king had said, "Come back to me in three days."

王上12:13 王用严厉的话回答百姓，不用老年人给他所出的主意，

†[吕]罗波安王很严厉地回答众民：他弃绝了老年人给他出的主意，

†[思]君王严厉答覆了人民，抛弃了老年人给他出的主意，

†[当代]－

†[新译]王严厉地回答众人。他拒绝了老年人给他所出的主意，

†[Wlb]王以厉词答之、违弃耆老之谋、

†[Xdv]王不听元老的建议，照着年轻人所建议的对人民说凶狠的话。他说：“我父亲给你们重担，我要给你们更重的担；他用鞭子打你们，我要用刺棒击打你们！”

†[Kjv]And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;

†[Nkjv]Then the king answered the people roughly, and rejected the advice which the elders had given him;

†[BBE]And the king gave them a rough answer, giving no attention to the suggestion of the old men;

†[GNT] The king ignored the advice of the older men and spoke harshly to the people,

†[NIV]The king answered the people harshly. Rejecting the advice given him by the elders,

本会注释　　严厉。目的是要显示力量，实际上却暴露出软弱和愚昧。和善的话语来自温柔和宽广的人，其结果就是顺从，幸福与和平。粗暴的言辞出自小人，只能激起苦毒和仇恨，结果就是骚乱和反叛。

王上12:14 照着少年人所出的主意对民说：“我父亲使你们负重轭，我必使你们负更重的轭！我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我要用蝎子鞭责打你们！”

†[吕]反而照少年人出的主意对众民说：“我父亲使你们负的轭很重，我却要加重你们的轭呢；我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我却要用蝎子鞭责打你们呢。”

†[思]却依照少年人的主张，对民众说：“我的父亲加重了你们的重担，我更要加重，我父亲用皮鞭责打你们，我反要用铁刺鞭责打你们。”

†[当代]“先王要你们负重轭，我要你们负更重的轭！他用鞭子打你们，我却要用蝎子鞭抽打你们！”

†[新译]却照着年轻人给他所出的主意，对他们说：“我父亲加重你们所负的重担，我要使你们负更重的重担；我父亲用鞭子责打你们，我要用蝎子鞭责打你们。”

†[Wlb]依少者之谋、告之曰、我父使尔负重轭、我必益之、我父贵尔以鞭、我则责尔以蝎、

†[Xdv]－

†[Kjv]And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.

†[Nkjv]and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scourges!"

†[BBE]But giving them the answer put forward by the young men, saying, My father made your yoke hard, but I will make it harder; my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give it with snakes.

†[GNT] as the younger men had advised. He said, "My father placed heavy burdens on you; I will make them even heavier. He beat you with whips; I'll flog you with bullwhips!"

†[NIV]he followed the advice of the young men and said, "My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions."

王上12:15 王不肯依从百姓，这事乃出于耶和华，为要应验他藉示罗人亚希雅对尼八的儿子耶罗波安所说的话。

†[吕]王不听众民的要求，这一个事态是出于永恒主，为要实行他的话、就是由示罗人亚希雅经手论到（传统：对）尼八儿子耶罗波安所说过的。

†[思]君王始终不肯听从民众。这一转变原是出于上主，为实现他自己的话，就是上主藉史罗人阿希雅对乃巴特的儿子雅洛贝罕所说的话。

†[当代]王就这样拒绝了人民的请求。这事实在是上帝所安排的，因为祂要实现祂藉著示罗人亚希雅先知对耶罗波安所说的预言。

†[新译]王不肯听从民众的请求，因为这个转变是出于耶和华，为要应验他借示罗人亚希雅对尼八的儿子耶罗波安所说的话。

†[Wlb]王不听民所求、是事由于耶和华、以应耶和华藉示罗人亚希雅、告尼八子耶罗波安之言、

†[Xdv]王不理会人民的要求；他不知道这是上主的旨意，为要实现他藉示罗人亚希雅先知对尼八的儿子耶罗波安所说的话。

†[Kjv]Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

†[Nkjv]So the king did not listen to the people; for the turn of events was from the LORD, that He might fulfill His word, which the LORD had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

†[BBE]So the king did not give ear to the people; and this came about by the purpose of the Lord, so that what he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, son of Nebat, might be effected.

†[GNT] It was the will of the Lord to bring about what he had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh. This is why the king did not pay any attention to the people.

†[NIV]So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from the Lord , to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah the Shilonite.

本会注释　　不要以为这些年轻人的建议是上帝的建议，或者王的回答是耶和华命定的。上帝是有怜悯有智慧的上帝，但王的言辞却是冷酷而愚蠢。上帝使人同情与宽厚，而不是苦毒和怨恨。但上帝必通过让人收获自己任性的恶果而惩罚他。所罗门的罪以及罗波安的粗暴和不智都不是出自耶和华。两个人都错了，可是错误的根源与上帝完全无关。但耶和华凭着祂的智慧使得罪人的罪和愚蠢都落到自己头上。上帝一般不会施行神迹取消人的偏激、愤怒、骄傲、邪恶和自负所带来的结果。就个人的得救而论，上帝不干涉人的自由意志，也不改变恶行给不洁之人带来的后果，而是智慧地引领世人和邦国的道路来实现祂的旨意。祂就这样使人的愤怒变成对祂的赞美。

王上12:16 以色列众民见王不依从他们，就对王说：我们与大卫有什么分儿呢？与耶西的儿子并没有关涉。以色列人哪，各回各家去吧！大卫家啊，自己顾自己吧！于是，以色列人都回自己家里去了， (串)撒下20:1

†[吕]以色列众民见王不听他们的要求，就回答王说：“我们在大卫上有什么分儿呢？我们在耶西的儿子上并没有业份呀。以色列人哪，回家（原文：帷棚）去吧！大卫阿，现在只顾自己的家吧。”于是以色列人都回家（原文：帷棚）去。

†[思]全以色列人见君王不肯依他们，便回覆君王说：“我们与达味有什么分子？我们与叶瑟的儿子毫无关系！以色列！回到你的帐幕去啊！达味啊！现在你只顾你的本家罢！”以色列人于是都回了自己的帐幕，

†[当代]以色列人知道自己的请求不被接纳，就在王面前嚷著说：“我们与大卫和耶西家族的关系就此了断。以色列人啊，走吧！让大卫家作他自己家族的王吧！”说完了，他们便各自散去了，

†[新译]以色列众人见王不肯听从他们的请求，就回答王说：“我们在大卫里面有什么分呢？我们在耶西的儿子里面也没有产业；以色列人哪，回你们自己的家去吧！大卫啊，照顾你自己的家吧！”于是以色列人都回自己的家去了。

†[Wlb]以色列众见王不听、则谓王曰、我与大卫何与、我于耶西子无业、以色列人欤、尔其归幕、大卫家欤、尔其自顾、以色列人遂归其幕、

†[Xdv]以色列人民见王不接纳他们的要求就喊着说：“大卫跟我们有什么关系？耶西的儿子对我们毫无益处！以色列人哪，我们回老家吧！让大卫家看顾自己吧！”于是，以色列人民反叛了；

†[BBE]And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? to your tents, O Israel; now see to your people, David. So Israel went away

†[GNT] When the people saw that the king would not listen to them, they shouted, "Down with David and his family! What have they ever done for us? People of Israel, let's go home! Let Rehoboam look out for himself!" So the people of Israel rebelled,

†[NIV]When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king: "What share do we have in David, what part in Jesse's son? To your tents, O Israel! Look after your own house, O David!" So the Israelites went home.

本会注释　　与大卫。这句话含有支派间嫉妒和仇恨的精神。以法莲和犹大针锋相对；北方的人决定要走一条独立于南方的道路。示巴在反叛大卫时也说过类似的话（撒下20:1）。
　　各回各家去吧。这不一定是个战争动员，而只是呼吁人们各回各的支派，不要承认罗波安的王权。
　　自己顾自己吧。表达了对大卫王室根深蒂固的不满：让大卫的家解决自己和他们支派的事务吧。让以色列其余的支派自由行动吧。他们可以不用犹大而照顾自己，从今以后不再有人干涉了。

王上12:17 惟独住犹大城邑的以色列人，罗波安仍作他们的王。

†[当代]留下的就只有住在属犹大城邑的以色列人，仍然受罗波安统治。

†[新译]不过住在犹大各城的以色列人，罗波安仍然作他们的王。

†[Wlb]惟居犹大诸邑之以色列人、罗波安为其王、

†[Xdv]罗波安只作犹大地区人民的王。

†[Kjv]But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

†[Nkjv]But Rehoboam reigned over the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah.

†[BBE](But Rehoboam was still king over those of the children of Israel who were living in the towns of Judah.)

†[GNT] leaving Rehoboam as king only of the people who lived in the territory of Judah.

†[NIV]But as for the Israelites who were living in the towns of Judah, Rehoboam still ruled over them.

本会注释　　以色列人。包含两层意思。第一，犹大境内不全是犹大支派的成员。除了与犹大联合的便雅悯人，还有很多祭司、利未人和“以色列各支派中”后来离开北方来到犹大和耶路撒冷的人（代下11:12-17）。第二，虽然以色列今后主要是指北方的王国，而不是犹大，但“以色列人”可能想提醒读者，以色列的真儿女在犹大也有；这一光荣的称号不是北方王国所独有的。

王上12:18 罗波安王差遣掌管服苦之人的亚多兰往以色列人那里去，以色列人就用石头打死他。罗波安王急忙上车，逃回耶路撒冷去了。 (串)撒下20:24王上4:6;5:14代下10:18

†[吕]罗波安王差遣掌管作苦工的人亚多兰往以色列人那里去；以色列众人扔石头砍他，砍到他死去。罗波安王猛速地上车，逃回耶路撒冷。

†[Wlb]罗波安王遣司力役之亚多兰至以色列人、以色列人以石击毙之、罗波安王亟登车、遁于耶路撒冷、

†[Xdv]罗波安王派劳工总管亚多兰到以色列人那里去，以色列人用石头把他打死。这时，罗波安慌忙地坐上马车，逃回耶路撒冷。

†[Kjv]Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

†[Nkjv]Then King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was in charge of the revenue; but all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.

†[BBE]Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram, the overseer of the forced work; and he was stoned to death by all Israel. And King Rehoboam went quickly and got into his carriage to go in flight to Jerusalem.

†[GNT] Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram, who was in charge of the forced labor, to go to the Israelites, but they stoned him to death. At this, Rehoboam hurriedly got in his chariot and escaped to Jerusalem.

†[NIV]King Rehoboam sent out Adoniram, who was in charge of forced labor, but all Israel stoned him to death. King Rehoboam, however, managed to get into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem.

本会注释　　亚多兰。根据王上4:6；5:14，亚多兰是掌管苦力的人。既然亚多兰熟悉这些服苦之人的情况，罗波安认为在这件事中他是去和对方进行谈判的合适人选。作为受压迫之人的督工，他一出现就激起人们新的仇恨，结果导致了他的死亡。
　　用石头打死。古代民众集体复仇时，常要这种方式杀人。摩西也曾担心埃及人在怒火中用石头打以色列人（出8:26）。后来以色列人几乎要拿石头打摩西（出17:4）。大卫也差点被他愤怒的部下用石头打死（撒上30:6）。
　　上车。战车是那时最快的交通工具。修缮了的道路使巴勒斯坦许多地方都能通行战车。

王上12:19 这样，以色列人背叛大卫家，直到今日。

†[吕]这样，以色列人就背叛了大卫家、直到今日。

†[NIV]When all the Israelites heard that Jeroboam had returned, they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. Only the tribe of Judah remained loyal to the house of David.

本会注释　　耶罗波安回来。这句话似乎暗示耶罗波安在十个支派发动叛乱后才到场。但根据第三节，耶罗波安早就已经代表人民与罗波安进行谈判了。有人依据七十士译本的一份手稿在第三节和第十二节中略去了耶罗波安的名字，认为他是到第二十节才第一次出现在人们的视线之中。但最好还是依据希伯来文圣经，将第一节中的“以色列人”理解为各支派的代表，将第二十节中的“以色列众人”理解为全体国民，他们在耶罗波安的面前，听从了自己支派代表的话，就各回各家了（第16节）。
　　叛乱的消息很快传遍全国。耶罗波安将叛乱的火焰点着之后，可能没有采取进一步的行动，而是狡猾地退居幕后，等待人民的召唤。以色列民召集了一次大会，立耶罗波安为王。
　　以色列众人的。似乎是说北方的十个支派宣称只有他们才能代表真正的以色列。

王上12:21 罗波安来到耶路撒冷，招聚犹大全家和便雅悯支派的人共十八万，都是挑选的战士，要与以色列家争战，好将国夺回，再归所罗门的儿子罗波安。 (串)本章21-24

†[GNT] When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he called together 180,000 of the best soldiers from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. He intended to go to war and restore his control over the northern tribes of Israel.

†[NIV]When Rehoboam arrived in Jerusalem, he mustered the whole house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin-a hundred and eighty thousand fighting men-to make war against the house of Israel and to regain the kingdom for Rehoboam son of Solomon.

本会注释　　便雅悯。便雅悯支派从前与以法莲的关系要比与犹大的关系紧密。大卫和便雅悯人（撒上9:1）扫罗之间长期的仇恨，约押和押尼珥之间的战争，大卫的仆人和那些便雅悯人之间的战争（撒下2:2,12-31；3:1-27），以及便雅悯人示巴（撒下20:1）鼓动人们反对大卫，这一切都说明便雅悯人和犹大人之间的敌对关系。耶路撒冷位于两个支派的交界处（书15:8；18:16），将首都定在这里给他们之间的关系带来了一些改变，此后，便雅悯人就开始与犹大支派站在一边了。
　　十八万。大卫的时代核点民数犹大支派是五十万人（撒下24:9）。后来犹大王亚比雅招集了一支四十万的军队（代下13:3）。

王上12:22 但上帝的话临到神人示玛雅，说： (串)代下12:5,7,15代下11:1-4

本会注释　　神人。该词曾用来指摩西（申33:1；书14:6），在圣经的初期或后期，包括《历代志》中很少使用，但《列王纪》的作者却很喜欢用该词。示玛雅是罗波安统治期间犹大主要的先知（代下12:5-8,15）。

†[NIV]This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your brothers, the Israelites. Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.' " So they obeyed the word of the Lord and went home again, as the Lord had ordered.

本会注释　　一般来说，内战是最具破坏性的战争，所带来的创伤很难痊愈。上帝带以色列人进迦南不，是让他们互相残杀的。他们分裂成两个敌对的国家也不是上帝命定的。耶和华不会祝福十个支派分裂，也不赞同罗波安宣布的苛政。失去十个支派是对罗波安的惩罚。因此耶和华不能祝福这场旨在使用武力将分离的支派重新收归罗波安权下的征伐。此外，上帝命定用时间的手将这两个王国的历史展开，使他对其中之一的责罚，对另一个的审判，都显为公正。热心的人往往急于解决一个双方都有错的难题。这样的人应该仔细思考本节的教训。

†[NIV]Then Jeroboam fortified Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there. From there he went out and built up Peniel.

本会注释　　示剑。这个城邑在先祖的历史中从亚伯拉罕第一次进入应许之地时就提到了（创12:6；33:18；35:4；37:12,13）。征服迦南时它被定为逃城（书20:7；21:21），约书亚在他临死前将以色列人聚集在这里重新立约（书24:1-25）。亚比米勒自立为以色列的王时也将首都定在示剑（士9:1-20）。当这座城反叛他时就被毁灭了，还“撒上了盐”（士9:22-45）。现在这座城重新建造，作为耶罗波安的首都。
　　毗努伊勒。约旦河东的一个地方，雅各在这里面对面见到上帝（创32:30,31）后为之命名。基甸在他的时代拆毁了毗努伊勒的一座楼（士8:8,9,17）。耶罗波安将这里重新建造作为前哨。它可能位于雅博河岸边的Tulul ed-dabab，在疏割以东6.5公里处。

王上12:26 耶罗波安心里说：“恐怕这国仍归大卫家；

†[吕]耶罗波安心里说：“现在恐怕这国仍回归大卫家。

†[思]雅洛贝罕心中思量：“这王国迟早要归于达味王室；

†[当代]他心想：“倘若我的人民要回到耶路撒冷圣殿去献祭，他们的心不是会渐渐去归服罗波安吗？那时候，他们可能会把我置诸死地，然后去投奔罗波安。我一定要小心处理这事。”

†[新译]耶罗波安心里说：“现在这国仍然要归回大卫家。

†[Wlb]意谓此国将归大卫家、

†[Xdv]他对自己说：“照目前的情形看，如果我的人民上耶路撒冷去，在那里的圣殿向上主献祭，他们会变心去效忠犹大王罗波安，并且会来杀我。”

†[GNT] He said to himself, "As things are now, if my people go to Jerusalem and offer sacrifices to the Lord in the Temple there, they will transfer their allegiance to King Rehoboam of Judah and will kill me."

†[NIV]Jeroboam thought to himself, "The kingdom will now likely revert to the house of David.

王上12:27 这民若上耶路撒冷去，在耶和华的殿里献祭，他们的心必归向他们的主犹大王罗波安，就把我杀了，仍归犹大王罗波安。”

†[吕]这人民若上耶路撒冷去，在永恒主殿里献祭，那么这人民的心、就会转去归向他们的主上犹大王罗波安，而把我杀死，去归向犹大王罗波安了。”

†[思]如果这人民上耶路撒冷，在上主殿内献祭，他们的心难免不归向他们的主上犹大勒哈贝罕，把我打死，再归属于犹大王勒哈贝罕。”

†[当代]－

†[新译]这民若是上去，在耶路撒冷耶和华的殿里献祭，这民的心就必归向他们的主犹大王罗波安，他们必把我杀了，然后回到犹大王罗波安那里去。”

†[Wlb]倘斯民往耶路撒冷、献祭于耶和华室、其心必归厥主犹大王罗波安、则杀我而归彼、

†[Kjv]If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.

†[Nkjv]If these people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn back to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me and go back to Rehoboam king of Judah."

†[BBE]If the people go up to make offerings in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, their heart will be turned again to their lord, to Rehoboam, king of Judah; and they will put me to death and go back to Rehoboam, king of Judah.

†[GNT] －

†[NIV]If these people go up to offer sacrifices at the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem, they will again give their allegiance to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah. They will kill me and return to King Rehoboam."

本会注释　　归向。耶罗波安很清楚在耶路撒冷的圣殿敬拜上帝所具有的强大吸引力。如果以色列人继续效忠上帝，如果他们继续前往耶路撒冷去和他们犹大的弟兄一同侍奉上帝，那么人心会再度凝聚，王国又要归于一统了。这样的结果无疑符合大家共同的利益，但却不是耶罗波安最关喜欢的。

†[吕]耶罗波安王就打定了主意，造了两只金牛犊，对众民说：“以色列人哪，你们上耶路撒冷去已经彀了；看哪，这就是你们的神、那领你们从埃及地上来的。”

†[思]因此，雅洛贝罕王拿定了主意，制造了两只金牛犊，对人民说：，“你们不需要再上耶路撒冷去了；以色列！看，这就是领你们由埃及地上来的天主！”

†[当代]他与大臣商议之后，就铸造了两头金牛犊，向人民宣告说：“要长途跋涉地上耶路撒冷敬拜主实在是太麻烦了。这两头金牛犊就是领你们出埃及的神，从现在开始，你们可以在这里举行敬拜仪式了。”

†[新译]王打定了主意，就做了两个金牛犊，对众民说：“以色列人哪，你们上耶路撒冷去实在够了。看哪，这是你们的神，就是从埃及地领你们上来的那位。”

†[Wlb]王既筹思、乃作金犊二、告民曰、尔曹上耶路撒冷甚难、以色列人欤、导尔出埃及之神即此、

†[Xdv]他思前想后，就铸造了两头金牛，然后对人民说：“你们上耶路撒冷敬拜已经太久了。以色列人民哪，这就是领你们出埃及的神明！”

†[Kjv]Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

†[Nkjv]Therefore the king asked advice, made two calves of gold, and said to the people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt!"

†[BBE]So after taking thought the king made two oxen of gold; and he said to the people, You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; see! these are your gods, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

†[GNT] After thinking it over, he made two bull-calves of gold and said to his people, "You have been going long enough to Jerusalem to worship. People of Israel, here are your gods who brought you out of Egypt!"

†[NIV]After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves. He said to the people, "It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."

本会注释　　金牛犊。以色列人在旷野敬拜偶像，给自己带来了刑罚（出32:1-35），现在他们又重蹈覆辙了。以色列人拒绝了上帝，他们所选择的道路最终必是灭亡。当人弃绝了天地的创造主而转去敬拜金牛犊时，灾难就不可避免了。

王上12:29 他就把牛犊一只安在伯特利，一只安在但。

†[吕]他就把牛犊一只立在伯特利，一只安在但。

†[思]他将一只供在贝特耳，一只供在丹。

†[当代]他把一头金牛犊安置在伯特利，另一头放在但。

†[新译]他就把一个牛犊安放在伯特利，一个安放在但。

†[Wlb]遂置一犊于伯特利、一犊于但、

†[Xdv]耶罗波安把一头金牛放在伯特利，另一头放在但。

†[Kjv]And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.

†[Nkjv]And he set up one in Bethel, and the other he put in Dan.

†[BBE]And he put one in Beth-el and the other in Dan.

†[GNT] He placed one of the gold bull-calves in Bethel and the other in Dan.

†[NIV]One he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan.

本会注释　　伯特利。王国南部的一座边界城市。伯特利的名字是雅各取的，意思是“上帝的殿，”为了纪念他从前逃离以扫时在梦里（创28:11-22）以及他返回时（创35:8-15）上帝向他的显现。这里被认为是一个可以和耶路撒冷匹敌的天然敬拜场所。
　　但。一座北部边境城市，在士师秉政的大部分年代就是一个聚集敬拜的地点（士18:30,31）。

王上12:30 这事叫百姓陷在罪里，因为他们往但去拜那牛犊。 (串)王上13:34王下17:21

†[吕]这事就是犯罪，因为众民到伯特利一只牛犊面前去敬拜，也到远在但地的那一只面前去（传统：因为众民到远在但地的一只面前）。

†[思]这使以色列陷于罪恶，因为民众竟远至丹去敬拜另一只。

†[当代]以色列人开始到但去拜金牛犊，因此，他们就渐渐地掉进了罪恶的深渊里。

†[新译]这事成了以色列人的罪，因为众民都到但那个牛犊面前敬拜。

†[Wlb]此事陷人于罪、因民往但、崇拜其一、

†[Xdv]这就成为人民犯罪的起因，因为他们到伯特利和但（希伯来文是：到但）去敬拜。

†[Kjv]And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

†[Nkjv]Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

†[BBE]And this became a sin in Israel; for the people went to give worship to the one at Beth-el, and to the other at Dan.

†[GNT] And so the people sinned, going to worship in Bethel and in Dan.

†[NIV]And this thing became a sin; the people went even as far as Dan to worship the one there.

本会注释　　陷在罪里。这件事成为人民犯罪的原因。鉴于罪恶的深远影响，耶罗波安要负可怕的责任。
　　往但去。七十士译本一些较晚的手稿在“但”后面加上了“另外一些人往伯特利去。”然而原来的文字可能好一些，暗示人们起初只是去但的圣所。

王上12:31 耶罗波安在邱坛那里建殿，将那不属利未人的凡民立为祭司。 (串)王上13:32|王上13:33王下17:32代下11:14,15;13:9

†[吕]耶罗波安造了邱坛上的殿，将不属利未子孙范围内的平常人立为祭司。

†[思]雅贝洛罕又在高丘建立了神殿，将不属于肋末子孙的平民立为司祭；

†[当代]耶罗波安又在高山上兴建神庙，当祭司的也竟然不是利未人，而是来自各地的平民。

†[新译]耶罗波安在邱坛那里建殿，把不是利未子孙的平民立为祭司。

†[Wlb]王于崇邱建庙、由众民中、不属利未族者、简立祭司、

†[Xdv]耶罗波安又在一些山头上建造敬拜的神殿，并从利未支族以外的家族选立祭司。

†[Kjv]And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

†[Nkjv]He made shrines on the high places, and made priests from every class of people, who were not of the sons of Levi.

†[BBE]And he made places for worship at the high places, and made priests, who were not Levites, from among all the people.

†[GNT] Jeroboam also built places of worship on hilltops, and he chose priests from families who were not of the tribe of Levi.

†[NIV]Jeroboam built shrines on high places and appointed priests from all sorts of people, even though they were not Levites.

本会注释　　凡民。利未人拒绝担任假神庙宇的祭司，因此被革除了圣职，来到了犹大的耶路撒冷（代下11:13-16；《先知与君往》101页）。只有道德水准最低下的人才会同意担任“为邱坛、为鬼魔、为自己所铸造的牛犊设立祭司”（代下11:15）。结果只会不断降低人民的道德水准。

王上12:32 耶罗波安定八月十五日为节期，象在犹大的节期一样，自己上坛献祭。他在伯特利也这样向他所铸的牛犊献祭，又将立为邱坛的祭司安置在伯特利。 (串)利23:34民29:12|王上13:2

†[吕]耶罗波安定了八月十五日为节期，像在犹大的节期一样；他自己上去、在祭坛旁献祭；在伯特利他也这样作，向他所造的牛犊献祭，又将他所立为邱坛的祭司安置在伯特利。

†[思]规定八月十五日举行庆节，像在犹大所举行的庆节一样，亲自上坛献祭。他也如此在贝特耳向他所制造的牛犊献了祭，并在贝特耳为他建造的高丘神坛，委派了司祭。

†[当代]耶罗波安又定下规条，要人民在每年八月十五日到伯特利守节期，好像犹大的节期一样。他自己还在伯特利的祭坛上向金牛犊献祭烧香，又派神庙的祭司在献祭中司职。

†[新译]耶罗波安又定了八月十五日为节期，像在犹大的节期一样，他自己在祭坛上献祭，他在伯特利也是这样向他所铸造的牛犊献祭；他又在伯特利为他所建造的邱坛设立祭司。

†[Wlb]又设节期于八月之望、若犹大之节期、而登其坛、在伯特利亦如是、献祭于所作之犊、以所立为邱坛之祭司、置于伯特利、

†[Xdv]耶罗波安又定八月十五日为宗教节期，像在犹大的节期一样。他在伯特利祭坛上向他所铸造的金牛献祭，并且在伯特利设立祭司，要他们在他所建造的神殿事奉。

†[Kjv]And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the pries

†[Nkjv]Jeroboam ordained a feast on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the feast that was in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. So he did at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made. And at Bethel he installed the priests of the high

†[BBE]And Jeroboam gave orders for a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast which is kept in Judah, and he went up to the altar. And in the same way, in Beth-el, he gave offerings to the oxen which he had made, placing in B

†[GNT] Jeroboam also instituted a religious festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival in Judah. On the altar in Bethel he offered sacrifices to the gold bull-calves he had made, and he placed there in Bethel the priests serving at the

†[NIV]He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves he had made. And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high plac

本会注释　　八月。这是为与七月间在耶路撒冷举行的住棚节竞争而设立的一个节期。虽然还保留许多古老的敬拜形式，但其本质已与对耶和华的崇拜截然相反了。这里有一个问题，为什么以色列的节期要比犹大晚一个月？南北分裂可能是发生在八月间。为人民设立这个大节期恰好给他们机会庆祝新政权的建立。

王上12:33 他在八月十五日，就是他私自所定的月日，为以色列人立作节期的日子，在伯特利上坛烧香。 (串)王上13:1摩7:10,13

†[吕]八月十五日、他心里自定的月日、他自己上去，在他所造于伯特利的祭坛旁献祭；他为以色列人定了节期，自己上去、在祭坛旁熏祭。

†[思]在他随意选定的八月十五日，他亲自上了他在贝特耳所的祭坛，为以色列子民举行庆节，上坛焚香献祭。

†[当代]－

†[新译]八月十五日，就是他心里私定作为以色列人节期的日子，他在伯特利在自己所建的祭坛上献祭烧香。

†[Wlb]八月之望、即以己意所定之期、诣伯特利所作之坛、为以色列族设筵、登坛焚香、

†[Xdv]耶罗波安在自己所定的八月十五日，就是他为以色列人民定的节期，往伯特利去，在祭坛上烧香。

†[Kjv]So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.

†[Nkjv]So he made offerings on the altar which he had made at Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had devised in his own heart. And he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and offered sacrifices on the altar and burned

†[BBE]He went up to the altar he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the month fixed by him at his pleasure; and he gave orders for a feast for the people of Israel, and went up to the altar, and there he made the smoke of his offering

†[GNT] And on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the day that he himself had set, he went to Bethel and offered a sacrifice on the altar in celebration of the festival he had instituted for the people of Israel.

†[NIV]On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing, he offered sacrifices on the altar he had built at Bethel. So he instituted the festival for the Israelites and went up to the altar to make offerings.

本会注释　　耶罗波安似乎在充当国王之外又充当起祭司。他取消利未人的祭司职位，重新选立新的祭司。他僭越的颠峰之举就是自立为他所设置未经授权的祭司阶层之首。伯特利有“王的圣所”和“王的宫殿”（摩7:10,13）。这表明伯特利的“圣所”可能是耶罗波安自己特别的庙宇。王在那里处理宗教事务。同样，他在“宫殿”里处理国家政务。示剑作为首都，是王平常处理国务的地点。但他在伯特利处理宗教事务时，一些国家事务可能就在他当地的宫殿里处理了。
