列王纪下第18章

《圣经》列王纪下-第18章

王下18:1 以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚第三年，犹大王亚哈斯的儿子希西家登基。 (串)王下15:30;17:1|代下28:27太1:9|代下29:1赛1:1何1:1弥1:1

†[吕]以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚三年、犹大王亚哈斯的儿子希西家登极作王。

†[思]以色列王厄拉的儿子曷舍亚叁年，阿哈次的儿子希则克雅登基为犹大王。

†[当代]以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚王三年，犹大王亚哈斯的儿子希西家登基。

†[新译]以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚在位第三年，犹大王亚哈斯的儿子希西家登基作王。

†[Wlb]以色列王以拉子何细亚三年、犹大王亚哈斯子希西家即位、

†[Xdv]以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚在位的第三年，亚哈斯的儿子希西家作犹大王。

†[Kjv]Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

†[Nkjv]Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign.

†[BBE]Now in the third year of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz, became king of Judah.

†[NIV]In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

本会注释　　从现在开始所记录的都是犹大王了。希西家登上王位的时候──可能有一段时期他是与他父亲亚哈斯共同执政的（见本卷注释第86,150页）──以色列几乎已处在它悲惨历史的尾端了。而犹大国又延续了将近一百五十多年。百姓由于随从周围列国的道路，沦为那些国家的掠物。希西家的父亲──上一任犹大王亚哈斯──偏离正路甚远，几乎将他的国家带到了和以色列命运相同的深渊。他鼓励崇拜外邦的神明，将耶和华的殿用于敬拜偶像，还将国家和圣殿的财富当作贡物献给亚述。希西家对他父亲的宗教和政治策略做出迅速彻底的改变。他洁净圣殿，根除假神的崇拜，过了一段时间之后不再屈服于亚述的统治，领自己的国家进一步亲近正义和上帝。

王下18:2 他登基的时候年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王二十九年。他母亲名叫亚比，是撒迦利雅的女儿。 (串)代下26:5;29:1

†[吕]他登极的时候二十五岁；他在耶路撒冷作王二十九年。他母亲名叫亚比，是撒迦利雅的女儿。

†[思]他登极时年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王凡二十九年；他的母亲名阿彼雅，是则加黎雅的女儿。

†[当代]那时他二十五岁。他在耶路撒冷执政二十九年，母亲亚比是撒迦利雅的女儿。

†[新译]他登基的时候是二十五岁；他在耶路撒冷作王二十九年，他母亲名叫亚比，是撒迦利雅的女儿。

†[Wlb]时、年二十有五、在耶路撒冷为王、历二十九年、其母名亚比、撒迦利雅女也、

†[Xdv]当时他二十五岁；他在耶路撒冷统治了二十九年。他的母亲叫亚比雅，是撒迦利雅的女儿。

†[Kjv]Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.

†[Nkjv]He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twentynine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.

†[BBE]He was twenty-five years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.

†[GNT] at the age of twenty-five, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

†[NIV]He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Abijah daughter of Zechariah.

王下18:3 希西家行耶和华眼中看为正的事，效法他祖大卫一切所行的。 (串)代下31:20

†[吕]希西家行永恒主所看为对的事，都照他的祖大卫一切所行的。

†[思]希则克雅行了上主视为正义的事，完全像他祖先达味所行的一样；

†[当代]希西家品行端正，完全依照他先祖大卫的榜样去行。

†[新译]他行耶和华看为正的事，效法他的祖宗大卫一切所行的。

†[Wlb]希西家行耶和华所悦、悉效其祖大卫所为、

†[Xdv]希西家效法他先祖大卫王的榜样，做了上主喜悦的事。

†[Kjv]And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.

†[Nkjv]And he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father David had done.

†[BBE]He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord as David his father had done.

†[GNT] Following the example of his ancestor King David, he did what was pleasing to the Lord.

†[NIV]He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord , just as his father David had done.

本会注释　　《列王纪下》接下去的三章记载希西家的统治。希西家行上帝眼中看为正的事，尽管这样做需要很大的勇气。他所做的与当时整个时代的趋势截然相反。他要面临国内外的反对。但他在先知以赛亚的鼓励之下毫无畏惧地坚持原则，义无反顾地投入到宗教改革的工作中去，使犹大的百姓归回他们先祖的上帝，并使他们在列国中获得安稳和力量。

王下18:4 他废去邱坛，毁坏柱像，砍下木偶，打碎摩西所造的铜蛇，因为到那时以色列人仍向铜蛇烧香。希西家叫铜蛇为铜块（或作：人称铜蛇为铜像）。 (串)本章22代下31:1|出23:24王下17:10|申16:21|民21:8,9

†[吕]他把邱坛废去，把崇拜柱子打碎，将亚舍拉神木砍下来，又将摩西所造的铜蛇砸碎，因为到那时以色列人还向铜蛇熏祭；那铜蛇叫做尼忽士但（即：铜的东西）。

†[思]他废除了高丘，毁坏了石柱，砍倒了木偶，打碎了梅瑟所制造的铜蛇，因为直到那时，以色列子民仍向铜蛇焚香，称为乃胡市堂。

†[当代]他拆掉高地的神庙，捣毁柱像，砍掉亚舍拉女神的神像，打碎摩西所造的铜蛇，因为当时以色列人仍向铜蛇烧香。希西家只叫铜蛇为铜块。

†[新译]他废去邱坛，打碎神柱，砍掉亚舍拉；他又打碎摩西所做的铜蛇，因为直到那些日子，以色列人仍然向它焚香，称它作尼忽士但。

†[Wlb]废崇邱、毁其柱、斫木偶、昔摩西所作之铜蛇、至今以色列人对之焚香、希西家碎之、称曰铜块、

†[Xdv]他除掉山丘上的神庙，拆毁了石柱，砍倒了亚舍拉女神的木柱，又打碎了摩西所造的铜蛇──尼忽士但，因为以色列人民直到那时候还在向它烧香。

†[Kjv]He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

†[Nkjv]He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, cut down the wooden image and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan.

†[BBE]He had the high places taken away, and the stone pillars broken to bits, and the Asherah cut down; and the brass snake which Moses had made was crushed to powder at his order, because in those days the children of Israel had offerings burned before it, an

†[GNT] He destroyed the pagan places of worship, broke the stone pillars, and cut down the images of the goddess Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze snake that Moses had made, which was called Nehushtan. Up to that time the people of Israel had burned i

†[NIV]He removed the high places, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan. )

本会注释　　废去邱坛。自从犹大作为一个国家存在直到现在，邱坛都还没有完全被废去。希西家看到了悖逆给以色列带来的结果，他决意不使他的国家遭受同样的厄运。他热爱上帝，决心尽自己最大的努力除去国中所有形式的偶像。邱坛，尽管为律法所禁止，但还是被很多百姓当作他们最中意的敬拜中心（王上3:2；14:23；22:43；王下12:3；14:4；15:4,35）。希西家以前的犹大王一直容许邱坛存在，那么当下它们无疑被接受作为国家宗教的固有部分了。
　　毁坏柱像。这些行动发生在洁净圣殿和希西家登基第一年的逾越节之后（代下29:3,17；30:1,15；31:1）。
　　铜蛇。见民21:6-9。这是在摩西时代之后第一次提到那条铜蛇。有些人认为会幕仍在使用的时候它一直保存在其中，后来在所罗门的时代又被移放到圣殿里，但这样的说法没有什么证据。然而到了现在，它却被当作圣物，人们认为铜蛇本身拥有什么效能。百姓竟在铜蛇面前烧香，将只能归给上帝的崇拜归给它。
　　希西家叫。七十士译本的一个版本，亚兰文译本和《塔古姆》都作“他们叫”。
　　铜块。Nehushtan，与希伯来词nechosheth（“铜”）的词根相同。有人认为该词源于nachas（“蛇”）。

王下18:5 希西家倚靠耶和华以色列的上帝，在他前后的犹大列王中没有一个及他的。 (串)王下19:10|王下23:25

†[吕]希西家所倚靠的是永恒主以色列的上帝；在他以后犹大列王中没有一个能比得上他的；他以前也没有。

†[思]他信赖上主以色列的天主；在他前后的犹大列王中，没有一个可与他相比的。

†[当代]希西家坚信主以色列的上帝，在他前后的犹大列王中没有一个可与他相比。

†[新译]他倚靠耶和华以色列的　神，在他以前或以后的犹大列王中，没有像他的。

†[Wlb]惟倚恃以色列之上帝耶和华、其前后犹大列王中、无如之者、

†[Xdv]希西家信靠上主──以色列的上帝；犹大国，在他以前或以后，没有一个王像他一样。

†[Kjv]He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.

†[Nkjv]He trusted in the LORD God of Israel, so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor who were before him.

†[BBE]He had faith in the Lord, the God of Israel; so that there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah who were before him.

†[GNT] Hezekiah trusted in the Lord, the God of Israel; Judah never had another king like him, either before or after his time.

†[NIV]Hezekiah trusted in the Lord , the God of Israel. There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before him or after him.

本会注释　　倚靠耶和华。他不像周围的国家是倚靠军事力量。
　　没有一个及他。这句话可能是在犹大国的历史完结之后说的。它与王下23:25对约西亚忠于摩西律法所作的高度评价并不矛盾。希西家品格的杰出之处在于他对上帝的信赖。

王下18:6 因为他专靠耶和华，总不离开，谨守耶和华所吩咐摩西的诫命。 (串)申10:20书23:8

†[吕]他紧依附着永恒主，总不离开、而不跟从他；他乃是谨守永恒主所吩咐摩西的诫命。

†[思]他依靠上主，紧随不离，谨守上主颁给梅瑟的诫命。

†[当代]他倚靠主，紧随不离，谨守主颁给摩西的诫命，

†[新译]他忠于耶和华，没有转离不跟从他，谨守他的吩咐，就是他曾吩咐摩西的。

†[Wlb]以其依附耶和华、从之弗离、遵守其所谕摩西之诫命、

†[Xdv]他忠于上主，从来没有违背上主；他小心谨慎地遵守上主给摩西所有的诫命。

†[Kjv]For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.

†[Nkjv]For he held fast to the LORD; he did not depart from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the LORD had commanded Moses.

†[BBE]For his heart was fixed on the Lord, not turning from his ways, and he did his orders which the Lord gave to Moses.

†[GNT] He was faithful to the Lord and never disobeyed him, but carefully kept all the commands that the Lord had given Moses.

†[NIV]He held fast to the Lord and did not cease to follow him; he kept the commands the Lord had given Moses.

本会注释　　希西家以前的许多王有良好的开端，但在统治过程中背离了上帝；比如所罗门（王上11:1-11），约阿施（代下24:17-25）和亚玛谢（代下25:14-16）。希西家虽然也犯过错误（王下20:12-19），但他从不离弃耶和华，并努力改正错误。

王下18:7 耶和华与他同在，他无论往何处去尽都亨通。他背叛、不肯事奉亚述王。 (串)代下15:2;20:17|王下16:7

†[吕]永恒主和他同在；无论他出战到哪里去，尽都亨通；他背叛了亚述王，不肯臣服于他。

†[思]因此，上主与他同在，他无论作什么，必都顺利，且摆脱了亚述王的羁绊，不再作他的藩属；

†[当代]因此主与他同在，他无论做什么，尽都顺利。他既脱离了亚述王的牵制，不再向他称臣，

†[新译]耶和华和他同在，他所有的征战都得到成功。他背叛亚述王，不再臣服他。

†[Wlb]耶和华与之偕、凡其所往、无不亨通、背亚述王、不臣服之、

†[Xdv]因此上主跟他同在；他所做的一切事都很顺利。他反抗亚述皇帝，不肯屈服他。

†[Kjv]And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

†[Nkjv]The LORD was with him; he prospered wherever he went. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.

†[BBE]And the Lord was with him; he did well in all his undertakings: and he took up arms against the king of Assyria and was his servant no longer.

†[GNT] So the Lord was with him, and he was successful in everything he did. He rebelled against the emperor of Assyria and refused to submit to him.

†[NIV]And the Lord was with him; he was successful in whatever he undertook. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.

本会注释　　亨通。代下32:23,27-30列举了这种物质上的繁荣昌盛。
　　背叛。亚哈斯曾承认亚述的宗主权并向其进贡，但现在希西家拒绝再向亚述王纳贡。

王下18:8 希西家攻击非利士人，直到迦萨，并迦萨的四境，从了望楼到坚固城。 (串)赛14:29|王下17:9

†[吕]希西家攻击非利士人、直到迦萨、和迦萨四境，从了望人的谯楼到有堡垒的城。

†[思]又击败了培肋舍特人，直追到迦萨，占领了他们的土地，攻取了守望台和坚城。

†[当代]又击败了非利士人，直攻打到迦萨，占领了他们的土地，从了望台至坚固城全部拆毁。

†[新译]他攻击非利士人，直到迦萨和它的四境，从哨站以至设防城。

†[Wlb]击非利士人、至于迦萨、与其四境、自戍楼以及坚城、

†[Xdv]他打败非利士人，把他们的土地，从小村到大城，包括迦萨和周围地区，都占领了。

†[Kjv]He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

†[Nkjv]He subdued the Philistines, as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city.

†[BBE]He overcame the Philistines as far as Gaza and its limits, from the tower of the watchman to the walled town.

†[GNT] He defeated the Philistines and raided their settlements, from the smallest village to the largest city, including Gaza and its surrounding territory.

†[NIV]From watchtower to fortified city, he defeated the Philistines, as far as Gaza and its territory.

本会注释　　希西家的反叛行动也包括进攻非利地，因为亚述王撒珥根曾攻击非利士直到埃及的边界并俘虏了迦萨的王哈努努。因此，非利士现在是处于亚述的管辖之下。撒珥根宣称他在自己统治的第十一年废掉了亚实突的王亚祖鲁，并且还提到他从非利士，犹大，以东，摩押的手中接受贡物。

王下18:9 希西家王第四年，就是以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚第七年，亚述王撒缦以色上来围困撒玛利亚； (串)本章9-12王下17:3-7

†[吕]希西家王四年、就是以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚七年、亚述王撒缦以色上来攻击撒玛利亚，围困它。

†[思]希则克雅王四年，即以色列王厄拉的儿子曷舍亚七年，亚述王沙耳玛乃色来进攻撒玛黎雅，围困了这城；

†[当代]希西家王四年，即以色列王何细亚七年，亚述王撒缦以色兴兵攻打撒马利亚，把城团团围困。

†[新译]希西家王在位第四年，就是以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚在位第七年，亚述王撒缦以色上来攻击撒玛利亚，把城围困；

†[Wlb]希西家王四年、即以色列王以拉子何细亚七年、亚述王撒缦以色、上攻撒玛利亚围之、

†[Xdv]希西家在位的第四年，也就是何细亚王统治以色列的第七年，亚述皇帝撒缦以色侵略以色列，围攻撒马利亚。

†[Kjv]And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

†[Nkjv]Now it came to pass in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.

†[BBE]Now in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, came up against Samaria, shutting it in with his armies.

†[GNT] In the fourth year of Hezekiah's reign - which was the seventh year of King Hoshea's reign over Israel - Emperor Shalmaneser of Assyria invaded Israel and besieged Samaria.

†[NIV]In King Hezekiah's fourth year, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria marched against Samaria and laid siege to it.

本会注释　　撒缦以色。这是指亚述王撒缦以色五世，他的统治是从公元前727年到公元前722年。
　　围困撒玛利亚。本章第9至12节重复了王下17:5-23叙述过的撒玛利亚陷落的情形。这里用希西家和何细亚两个王的纪年来标定撒玛利亚陷落的时间，重复的讲述将这件事和希西家联系了起来。

王下18:10 过了三年就攻取了城。希西家第六年，以色列王何细亚第九年，撒玛利亚被攻取了。

†[吕]过了三年、就攻取了（原文：他们就攻取）它。希西家六年、以色列王何细亚九年、撒玛利亚被攻取了。

†[思]叁年年底攻下，即希则克雅王六年，以色列王曷舍亚九年，撒玛黎雅失陷。

†[当代]三年之后，就是希西家王六年，以色列何细亚王九年，撒马利亚终于失陷。

†[新译]过了三年，他们就攻取了撒玛利亚。希西家在位第六年，就是以色列王何细亚在位第九年，撒玛利亚被攻取了。

†[Wlb]越至三年取之、即希西家六年、以色列王何细亚九年、撒玛利亚陷、

†[Xdv]撒马利亚在被围困的三年后陷落了；这是希西家在位的第六年，何细亚在位的第九年发生的。

†[Kjv]And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

†[Nkjv]And at the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

†[BBE]And at the end of three years they took it; in the sixth year of Hezekiah's rule, which was the ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

†[GNT] In the third year of the siege Samaria fell; this was the sixth year of Hezekiah's reign and the ninth year of Hoshea's reign.

†[NIV]At the end of three years the Assyrians took it. So Samaria was captured in Hezekiah's sixth year, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel.

本会注释　　三年。这里很好地说明了古代计算时间年限的习惯，他们将事件开始的那一年包括在内。例如，从希西家作王的第四年到第六年，今天我们认为中间的间隔是两年，但古代是这样计算的：他们将第四年，第五年，第六年，总共算作三年（见本卷注释第136页）。
　　攻取了。有文本前面有“他们”，其复数形式很值得关注。它也许是泛指亚述人，但这不大可能，因为先前的章节提到撒缦以色上到撒玛利亚，将城围困。有人认为这里的“他们”是指撒缦以色以及协助他作战的人。这个人可能就是撒缦以色的将军并后来接续他作亚述王的撒珥根（见@王下17:6@注释）。

王下18:11 亚述王将以色列人掳到亚述，把他们安置在哈腊与歌散的哈博河边，并玛代人的城邑； (串)王下17:6代上5:26

†[吕]亚述王使以色列人流亡到亚述，把他们安置在哈腊和歌散的哈博河边、跟玛代人的城市；

†[思]亚述王遂将以色列人掳往亚述，徙置在哈拉黑和靠近哥仓河的哈波尔，以及玛待各城内。

†[当代]亚述王把以色列人掳到亚述，安置在哈腊与歌散的哈博河一带和玛代人的城邑里。

†[新译]亚述王把以色列人掳到亚述去，把他们徙置在哈腊、哈博河和歌散河，以及玛代人的城里；

†[Wlb]亚述王虏以色列人至亚述、置于哈腊与歌散之哈博河滨、及玛代诸邑、

†[Xdv]亚述皇帝把以色列人掳到亚述，使他们散居在哈腊城、歌散区的哈博河附近，和米底亚人的城市。

†[Kjv]And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:

†[Nkjv]Then the king of Assyria carried Israel away captive to Assyria, and put them in Halah and by the Habor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,

†[BBE]And the king of Assyria took Israel away as prisoners into Assyria, placing them in Halah and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the towns of the Medes;

†[GNT] The Assyrian emperor took the Israelites to Assyria as prisoners and settled some of them in the city of Halah, some near the Habor River in the district of Gozan, and some in the cities of Media.

†[NIV]The king of Assyria deported Israel to Assyria and settled them in Halah, in Gozan on the Habor River and in towns of the Medes.

本会注释　　这句话重复了王下17:6所记载撒玛利亚的陷落。

王下18:12 都因他们不听从耶和华他们上帝的话，违背他的约，就是耶和华仆人摩西吩咐他们所当守的。

†[吕]因为他们不听永恒主他们的上帝的声音，反而越犯了他的约；凡永恒主的仆人摩西所吩咐的、他们都不听、不遵行。

†[思]这是因为他们没有听从上主，他们天主的声音，违反了他的盟约：凡上主的仆人梅瑟所吩咐的，他们一概没有听从，也没有遵行。

†[当代]以色列人这样的下场，是因为他们不服从主上帝，违背了祂仆人摩西所颁布的盟约和律例。

†[新译]这是因为他们不听从耶和华他们　神的话，违背他的约；耶和华的仆人摩西吩咐的一切，他们都不听从，不遵行。

†[Wlb]因彼不从其上帝耶和华之言、违背其约、凡耶和华仆摩西所命者、不听不守之、

†[Xdv]撒马利亚陷落是因为以色列人没有听从上主──他们的上帝，违背了上主跟他们所立的约，不遵守上主的仆人摩西所颁布的一切法律。他们不听从，也不遵守。

†[Kjv]Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.

†[Nkjv]because they did not obey the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed His covenant and all that Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded; and they would neither hear nor do them.

†[BBE]Because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord their God, but went against his agreement, even against everything ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and they did not give ear to it or do it.

†[GNT] Samaria fell because the Israelites did not obey the Lord their God, but broke the covenant he had made with them and disobeyed all the laws given by Moses, the servant of the Lord. They would not listen and they would not obey.

†[NIV]This happened because they had not obeyed the Lord their God, but had violated his covenant-all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded. They neither listened to the commands nor carried them out.

本会注释　　王下17:7-23更为详细地记述了以色列的悖逆，这里只是简短的归纳。

王下18:13 希西家王十四年，亚述王西拿基立上来攻击犹大的一切坚固城，将城攻取。 (串)本章13-37赛36:1-22|代下32:1,9

†[吕]希西家王十四年、亚述王西拿基立上来攻击犹大的一切堡垒城，将城夺取。

†[思]希则克雅王十四年，亚述王散乃黑黎布前来进攻犹大的一切坚城，都占领了。

†[当代]希西家王十四年，亚述王西拿基立起兵攻取了犹大所有设防的城邑，

†[新译]希西家王在位第十四年，亚述王西拿基立上来攻击犹大所有的设防城，占据了它们。

†[Wlb]希西家王十四年、亚述王西拿基立、上攻犹大诸坚城取之、

†[Xdv]希西家王在位的第十四年，亚述皇帝西拿基立攻打犹大的设防城镇，加以占领。

†[Kjv]Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.

†[Nkjv]And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.

†[BBE]Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the walled towns of Judah and took them.

†[GNT] In the fourteenth year of the reign of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib, the emperor of Assyria, attacked the fortified cities of Judah and conquered them.

†[NIV]In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah's reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.

本会注释　　十四年。这是亚述王西拿基立第一次对希西家的著名征战。叙述是从王下18:13至19:37。《以赛亚书》第36和37章中对此有相同的记述，甚至连所用的语言都是一样的。这表明以赛亚可能是《列王纪下》这部分内容的作者。代下32:1-22对此的记载比较简练，却提供了希西家整军备战的细节。
　　学者们对于这里的叙述到底是描写了一次战役还是两次存在争议。大部分现代评论家都认为这里只描述了一次战役，并且所有的事件都是在希西家第14年──即公元前701年──发生的。另一些人认为，这里记载了亚述对犹大的两次战役：第一次发生在希西家14年，攻取了犹大的一切坚固城；第二次发生在希西家作王的晚期，在这次战役中亚述全军大部被毁灭（王下19:35）。赞同前一种观点的人是基于以下原因，圣经的叙述中似乎没有自然的断裂。另外，亚述的文献资料记载了西拿基立大致开始于公元前701年的一场战役，但没有明确提到后来针对犹大的战役，尽管记录并不完整，或是西拿基立故意抹去了他失败的记录。至于公元前701年的那场战役，西拿基立宣称他围困“希西家像瓮中之鳖，”同样符合攻破犹大的坚固城并切实威胁到耶路撒冷安全的战役。
　　希西家广泛的国防准备（见代下32:2-6）说明前后两次战役之间隔的时间相当长；还说明圣经的叙述似乎指出西拿基立的死发生在他围困耶路撒冷无功而返之后不久。如果只有公元前701年一场战役，那西拿基立被人刺杀要等到他返回亚述之后二十多年才发生。另外我们从一些记载中知道，特哈加（王下19:9）于公元前690年开始和他的弟兄联合执政时才二十岁，即，他是在主前709年出生的。如果圣经中所描述的与他有关的事件果真发生在公元前701年，那他是不可能参加的。原先还有些人认为，尽管特哈加直到公元前690年才成为埃及王，但之前他有可能是埃及军队的一名将军。如果关于特哈加年龄的记载是正确的，那么只有一个办法可以理顺王下19:9与它上下文之间的关系，即假设在希西家统治临近结束的时候还有一场战役（见《先知与君王》339页）。显然犹大的坚固城被攻取以及希西家向亚述王进贡发生在第一次战役的时候，而耶路撒冷由于上帝的干预得蒙拯救发生在第二次战役的时候。
　　关于叙述划分的不同意见是微不足道的，因为圣经的记录是为了彰显上帝对寻求祂之人的无比关怀，而不是为了提供一个编年史的大纲。
　　坚固城。西拿基立宣称他攻占了犹大四十六座设防的坚固城池。

王下18:14 犹大王希西家差人往拉吉去见亚述王，说：“我有罪了，求你离开我；凡你罚我的，我必承当。”于是亚述王罚犹大王希西家银子三百他连得，金子三十他连得。 (串)王下23:33

†[吕]犹大王希西家差遣人到拉吉去见亚述王说：“我有罪了；求你离开我而回去；凡你所加于我的处罚、我都要承当。”于是亚述王勒令犹大王希西家要纳银子三百担，金子三十担。

†[思]犹大王希则克雅于是派遣使者，到拉基士去见亚述王说：“我错了，请你退兵；凡你向我提出的条件，我都接受。”于是亚述王限令犹大王希则克雅缴纳叁百“塔冷通”银子，叁十“塔冷通”金子。

†[当代]希西家王就遣使往拉吉见亚述王说：“叛臣知罪了，求你退兵吧！什么条件我都愿意接受。”于是亚述王要求赔偿十公吨银子，一公吨金子，

本会注释　　拉吉。西拿基立在关于他第三次“进攻赫人之地”战役的记录中，提到他首先进攻以东，而后攻击非利士的城邑。之后他转向内陆的拉吉。拉吉在亚实基伦东南（按圣经地图看应为东南偏东）30.8公里，东北距耶路撒冷43.2公里。一件亚述的浮雕刻画了对拉吉的围困（见本卷注释64页图片）
　　我有罪了。这个阶段希西家被恐惧所震慑停止了抵抗，但他没有交出耶路撒冷。他试图用交纳极重的赎金来买得西拿基立的退兵。
　　三百他连得。西拿基立声称他所收到的有，“三十他连得金子和三百他连得银子，”以及大量的宝石，象牙座椅，贵重的木材，以及“一切有价值的宝物。”

王下18:15 希西家就把耶和华殿里和王宫府库里所有的银子都给了他。 (串)王下12:18;16:8

本会注释　　由于希西家屈服于西拿基立，圣殿也惨遭洗劫。

王下18:16 那时，犹大王希西家将耶和华殿门上的金子和他自己包在柱上的金子都刮下来，给了亚述王。

†[NIV]At this time Hezekiah king of Judah stripped off the gold with which he had covered the doors and doorposts of the temple of the Lord , and gave it to the king of Assyria.

本会注释　　不久之前，亚哈斯就曾搜刮圣殿中的财宝用以买得提革拉-毗列色的保护（王下16:8）。现在希西家迫于形势又诉诸极端的方式来凑足西拿基立所要求的钱款数额。

王下18:17 亚述王从拉吉差遣他珥探、拉伯撒利，和拉伯沙基率领大军往耶路撒冷，到希西家王那里去。他们上到耶路撒冷，就站在上池的水沟旁，在漂布地的大路上。 (串)赛20:1|赛7:3王下20:20

本会注释　　他珥探。这是亚述军队主帅的称号。撒珥根派遣他的他珥探和亚述军队前去攻打亚实突（见赛20:1）。这里的“他珥探（Tartan）”在亚述语中是turtanu或tartanu。
　　拉伯撒利。这是亚述宫廷一位高级官员的称号，可能是“主管太监。”当耶路撒冷被巴比伦人攻破之日，尼布甲尼撒的拉撒力（rabsaris）也在城中（耶39:3,13）。这个称号是在一个古老的亚兰语碑刻上发现的。
　　拉伯沙基。拉伯沙基是亚述另一种重要的官员，酒政。在这里他是作为亚述全军的发言人（见第19,26-28节）。只有他被提及回到西拿基立那里（王下19:8）。在亚述的文献中这个官职头衔以rab-shâqû的形式出现。
　　上池。这个池子的地点不易确定。有人认为它在耶路撒冷城南，靠近汲沦谷；也有人则认为它在城北。数年之前，以赛亚和他的儿子施亚雅述在这里与亚哈斯相见（赛7:3）。显然这个上池在希西家和他建造水渠之前就已经存在了。

王下18:18 他们呼叫王的时候，就有希勒家的儿子家宰以利亚敬，并书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚，出来见他们。 (串)本章37赛22:20|赛22:15

†[Kjv]And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

†[Nkjv]And when they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to them.

†[BBE]And they sent for the king, and Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to them.

†[GNT] Then they sent for King Hezekiah, and three of his officials went out to meet them: Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was in charge of the palace; Shebna, the court secretary; and Joah son of Asaph, who was in charge of the records.

†[NIV]They called for the king; and Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder went out to them.

本会注释　　以利亚敬。以利亚敬是在舍伯那降职后才升到这个重要地位的，这就应验了以赛亚的预言（赛22:20-24）。然而，有些人认为赛第22章中的舍伯那和这里提到的舍伯那不是一个人。
　　舍伯那。见赛22:15-19。
　　约亚。关于这个人没有其它记载。他可能是国内的书记或“史官，”属于高级官吏，发布王的诏书，管理王的信件，可能还负责王家的银库（见王下12:10）。

王下18:19 拉伯沙基说：“你们去告诉希西家说，亚述大王如此说：‘你所倚靠的有什么可仗赖的呢？

†[Nkjv]Then the Rabshakeh said to them, "Say now to Hezekiah, "Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: "What confidence is this in which you trust?

†[BBE]And the Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, These are the words of the great king, the king of Assyria: In what are you placing your hope?

†[GNT] One of the Assyrian officials told them that the emperor wanted to know what made King Hezekiah so confident.

†[NIV]The field commander said to them, "Tell Hezekiah: " 'This is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: On what are you basing this confidence of yours?

本会注释　　拉伯沙基说。没有解释为什么由拉伯沙基说这番话。可能他是王的私人代表。作为王的酒政，亚述宫廷的许多仪式和宴会都是由他来主持的，因此他能流利地说亚述以外的语言。
　　大王。这是亚述诸王最喜欢的一种头衔。西拿基立称呼自己为：“西拿基立，伟大的王，有能力的王，宇宙之王，亚述的王。”
　　有什么可仗赖的呢？希西家全然信赖倚靠上帝（代下32:7,8），亚述使者在这里提到的就是希西家这种对耶和华的信靠（代下32:10,11）。

王下18:20 你说有打仗的计谋和能力，我看不过是虚话。你到底倚靠谁才背叛我呢？

†[新译]你说有作战的智谋和能力，只是嘴上空言，现在你倚赖谁才背叛我呢？

†[Wlb]尔言有谋有勇、足以为战、此皆虚语、尔今恃谁而叛我、

†[Xdv]你以为空口说白话就能替代军备和实力吗？你靠谁的力量想反叛我？

†[Kjv]Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

†[Nkjv]You speak of having plans and power for war; but they are mere words. And in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?

†[BBE]You say you have a design, and strength for war, but these are only words. Now to whom are you looking for support, that you have gone against my authority?

†[GNT] He demanded, "Do you think that words can take the place of military skill and might? Who do you think will help you rebel against Assyria?

†[NIV]You say you have strategy and military strength-but you speak only empty words. On whom are you depending, that you rebel against me?

本会注释　　希西家为抵抗亚述的进攻全面地整军备战，他加固耶路撒冷的城墙，预备各种进攻、防守的武器，凡自己力量所及能够抵抗亚述侵略的事都做了（代下32:2-6）。

王下18:21 看哪，你所倚靠的埃及是那压伤的苇杖；人若靠这杖，就必刺透他的手。埃及王法老向一切倚靠他的人也是这样。 (串)赛30:2,3结29:6,7

†[吕]现在你看，你倚靠这压伤的芦苇扶杖、埃及；人若靠它，这东西就刺进他的手，把它刺透。埃及王法老对一切倚靠他的人就是这样。

†[思]我现在你看，你依靠的埃及是一根破裂的芦杖；谁依靠这杖，它就刺伤谁的手，且把手刺透；埃及王法郎对所有依靠他的人，就是这样。

†[当代]看，你所倚靠的埃及只不过是一根压坏了的芦苇，谁倚仗它，谁的手就会被刺伤。埃及的法老是绝对靠不住的！

†[新译]你看，你倚赖埃及这压伤的芦苇做的手杖，人若是倚靠它，它必刺入他的手，把手刺伤，埃及王法老对所有倚赖他的人正是这样。

†[Wlb]尔恃埃及、彼乃折苇之杖、人若赖之、必刺其手、凡恃埃及王法老者若是、

†[Xdv]你妄想埃及来援助你，那无异用一根破裂的芦苇当杖走路；它会刺伤你的手。埃及王对付那些投靠他的人正是这样。”

†[Kjv]Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.

†[Nkjv]Now look! You are trusting in the staff of this broken reed, Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.

†[BBE]See, now, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go through a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.

†[GNT] You are expecting Egypt to help you, but that would be like using a reed as a walking stick - it would break and jab your hand. That is what the king of Egypt is like when anyone relies on him."

†[NIV]Look now, you are depending on Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff, which pierces a man's hand and wounds him if he leans on it! Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who depend on him.

本会注释　　压伤的苇杖。这是对埃及的贴切形容。用生长在尼罗河岸边的芦苇来象征埃及非常恰当。芦苇的外表看似强壮可靠，但实际上却不值得信任。如果一个人想要拿它当作手杖倚靠，它就立即折断，使那握持之人的手受伤。何细亚转向埃及寻求帮助，结果丧失了他的王国（王下17:4-6）。犹大经历这次危机时埃及正值第二十五王朝，这时的埃及四分五裂，内部争斗不断，注定要沦为亚述的掠物。然而，在一系列埃塞俄比亚王的统治之下，埃及此时仍旧敢于对抗亚述的权势。

王下18:22 你们若对我说：我们倚靠耶和华我们的上帝，希西家岂不是将上帝的邱坛和祭坛废去，且对犹大和耶路撒冷的人说：你们当在耶路撒冷这坛前敬拜吗？ (串)本章4代下31:1

†[吕]你们若对我说：“我们是倚靠耶和华我们的上帝的”，那么这耶和华岂不是那一位、希西家曾将他的的邱坛和祭坛废去，并且对犹大和耶路撒冷的人说：‘你们要在耶路撒冷这祭坛前敬拜’的么？

†[思]假使你们对我说：我们依靠雅威我们的天主，希则克雅岂不是曾推翻他的高丘和祭坛，且对犹大和耶路撒冷说：你们只应在耶路撒冷的这祭坛前朝拜？

†[当代]假使你们说：‘我们倚靠主我们的上帝。’你希西家不是曾把祂在高地的庙和祭坛废除，吩咐犹大和耶路撒冷的人当在耶路撒冷的坛前敬拜的吗？

†[Kjv]But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

†[Nkjv]But if you say to me, "We trust in the LORD our God,' is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and said to Judah and Jerusalem, "You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem'?"'

†[GNT] The Assyrian official went on, "Or will you tell me that you are relying on the Lord your God? It was the Lord's shrines and altars that Hezekiah destroyed, when he told the people of Judah and Jerusalem to worship only at the altar in Jerusalem.

†[NIV]And if you say to me, "We are depending on the Lord our God"-isn't he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, "You must worship before this altar in Jerusalem"?

本会注释　　倚靠耶和华。见代下32:11。
　　废去。西拿基立无疑听说了希西家的改革，就是他如何废去邱坛，毁坏各种当地的偶像（王下18:4）。从前很多百姓都在那未经许可的崇拜地点向耶和华献祭，他们很可能对于希西家干涉他们的习惯而心怀怨恨。拉伯沙基现在引诱百姓反对他们的王，他的想法也许是，希西家致力毁坏那些当地流行的神坛是一种不尊重上帝的表现。

†[NIV]Come now, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses-if you can put riders on them!

本会注释　　二千匹马。亚述的使者嘲笑犹大军力的空虚。亚述人携大批骑兵而来，两千匹战马对于他们来说可能只是沧海一粟。拉伯沙基的意思是，我们给你们两千匹战马，看你们能不能找出同等数量的受过训练的骑马之人。

王下18:24 若不然，怎能打败我主臣仆中最小的军长呢？你竟倚靠埃及的战车马兵吗？

†[当代]你们就算仗著埃及战车马兵的援助，也是无济于事的，因为你们的军力微小，实在不足打败我们大王辖下最低级的军官啊！

†[新译]否则，你怎能使我主最小的一位臣仆转脸逃跑呢？你竟然倚赖埃及供应战车和战马吗？

†[Wlb]不然、曷能御我主之仆、军长至微之一、岂恃埃及、得其车骑耶、

†[Xdv]其实，你连亚述军队中最小的军官也比不上，你还妄想埃及送战车骑兵来援助你！

†[Kjv]How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

†[Nkjv]How then will you repel one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?

†[BBE]How then may you put to shame the least of my master's servants? and you have put your hope in Egypt for war-carriages and horsemen:

†[GNT] You are no match for even the lowest ranking Assyrian official, and yet you expect the Egyptians to send you chariots and cavalry!

†[NIV]How can you repulse one officer of the least of my master's officials, even though you are depending on Egypt for chariots and horsemen ?

本会注释　　军长。这里亚述人又一次藐视犹大军事力量的弱小。他嘲笑犹大人没有力量抵挡他们中间最小的一个军长，而亚述军队在战场上士又何止千万。
　　倚靠埃及。拉伯沙基不仅蔑视犹大的弱小，而且对他们将希望寄托在埃及这样衰微的国家身上嗤之以鼻。

王下18:25 现在我上来攻击毁灭这地，岂没有耶和华的意思吗？耶和华吩咐我说：你上去攻击毁灭这地吧！’”

†[吕]现在我上来攻打这地方要毁灭它，岂非有耶和华的意思么？耶和华曾对我说：“你上去攻打这地、而毁灭它。’”

†[思]现在，我上来攻打毁灭这地，难道不是雅威的意思吗？雅威曾对我说：你上去攻打这地，加以毁灭！”

†[当代]你以为我来攻打毁灭这地是没有主许可的吗？主曾对我说：‘上去攻打毁灭这地吧！’”

†[新译]现在，我上来攻击这地方，要毁灭它，不是有耶和华的意思吗？耶和华曾对我说：上去攻击那地，把它毁灭。’”

†[Wlb]今我上攻此地而灭之、岂无耶和华之旨乎、耶和华乃命我曰、上攻此地而灭之、

†[Xdv]你以为我没有上主的帮助就来攻打你，毁灭你的国家吗？上主亲自吩咐我来攻击你，并毁灭你这地方。”

†[Kjv]Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

†[Nkjv]Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, "Go up against this land, and destroy it."'

†[BBE]And have I now come up to send destruction on this place without the Lord's authority? It was the Lord himself who said to me, Go up against this land and make it waste.

†[GNT] Do you think I have attacked your country and destroyed it without the Lord's help? The Lord himself told me to attack it and destroy it."

†[NIV]Furthermore, have I come to attack and destroy this place without word from the Lord ? The Lord himself told me to march against this country and destroy it.' "

本会注释　　耶和华吩咐我说。这番话从一个亚述人的口中说出很值得注意。以赛亚曾预言说，耶和华要使用亚述惩罚以色列和犹大（见赛7:17-24；10:5-12），难道他们听到过先知的预言吗？不管怎样，他试图要给希西家造成一种压力：抵抗亚述是没用的，亚述王已获得了上天的授权要来毁灭犹大，南国的灭亡是不可避免的。

王下18:26 希勒家的儿子以利亚敬和舍伯那，并约亚，对拉伯沙基说：“求你用亚兰言语和仆人说话，因为我们懂得；不要用犹大言语和我们说话，达到城上百姓的耳中。” (串)拉4:7但2:4

†[吕]希勒家的儿子以利亚敬和舍伯那跟约亚对参谋长说：“请用亚兰语和仆人说话，因为我们听得来；不要用犹大语同我们说话，以致让城上的人民听得懂。”

†[思]希耳克雅的儿子厄里雅金、舍布纳和约阿黑对大将军说：“请你对你的仆人说阿剌美话，因为我们都懂；你不要对我们说犹太话，因为城墙上的百姓能听到。”

†[当代]以利亚敬、舍伯那、约亚三人对拉伯沙基说：“请你用亚兰话对臣等说话，我们都听得懂；不要用犹大话，因为在城墙上的民众都会听见。”

†[新译]希勒家的儿子以利亚敬、舍伯那和约亚对拉伯沙基说：“请用亚兰语和你的仆人们说话，因为我们听得懂；不要用犹大语和我们说话，免得传入在城墙上的人民的耳中。”

†[Wlb]希勒家子以利亚敬、与舍伯那、约亚、谓拉伯沙基曰、请以亚兰方言语尔仆、我侪识之、勿以犹大方言、使城上之民闻之、

†[Xdv]于是，以利亚敬、舍伯那，和约亚对那大将说：“先生，请用亚兰语跟我们说话；我们听得懂。请不要用希伯来语，因为城楼上的人民都在听。”

†[Kjv]Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

†[Nkjv]Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, "Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people who are on the wall."

†[BBE]Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah said to the Rab-shakeh, Will you kindly make use of the Aramaean language in talking to your servants, for we are used to it, and do not make use of the Jews' language in the hearing of the people on t

†[GNT] Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah told the official, "Speak Aramaic to us, sir. We understand it. Don't speak Hebrew; all the people on the wall are listening."

†[NIV]Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah said to the field commander, "Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Don't speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall."

本会注释　　亚兰言语。这句话说明亚兰语当时已在使用，至少在亚述和希伯来人中的一定范围之内。同时代的一些资料显示，当时亚兰语已经开始作为外交和商业语言在整个西亚流行了。然而，在希伯来人中它还不是非常普及，因为平常的百姓听不懂这种语言。流亡巴比伦之后，亚兰语在犹太人中逐渐取代了希伯来话。
　　犹大言语。除了与本段相应的代下32章和赛36章之外，这个词组只出现在尼13:24中。“犹太”这个词第一次出现在王下16:6，但在后面的圣经书卷中就变得很普通了。根据同时代亚述人的说法，南方犹大王国的百姓已经被称作Yehudim，或犹太人，他们的语言被称作犹太语。
　　城上。城墙上的士兵和其他一些人可能已经听到了会谈的内容，因此亚述使者这些话也许会被传遍全城。

王下18:27 拉伯沙基说：“我主差遣我来，岂是单对你和你的主说这些话吗？不也是对这些坐在城上、要与你们一同吃自己粪、喝自己尿的人说吗？”

†[吕]参谋长对他们说：“我主上差遣我来说这些话，岂是单对你和你主上说的呢？不也是对这些坐在城上、要和你们一同吃自己粪喝自己尿的人说的么？”

†[思]大将军回答说：“难道我的主上打发我来，只对你的主上和你讲这些话，而不是对那些坐在城墙上，和你们一样该吃自己的粪，喝自己的尿的人，讲这些话吗？”

†[当代]但拉伯沙基说：“我这些话，不是单对你和你的君王说的。王派我来，其实是要我对那些坐在城墙上，与你们一样吃自己粪，喝自己尿的人讲的。”

†[新译]拉伯沙基对他们说：“我主派我来，只是对你的主和你说这些话吗？不也是对坐在城墙上，和你们在一起吃自己的粪、喝自己的尿的人民说的吗？”

†[Wlb]拉伯沙基曰、我主遣我、岂以此言仅告尔主及尔乎、非亦告坐于城上、将同尔食己矢、饮己溺之人乎、

†[Xdv]大将说：“你们以为皇帝只叫我对你们和王说这些话吗？错了，我也是对那些坐在城楼上的人民讲的；他们跟你们一样都要吃自己的粪，喝自己的尿。”

†[Kjv]But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

†[Nkjv]But the Rabshakeh said to them, "Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat and drink their own waste with you?"

†[BBE]But the Rab-shakeh said to them, Is it to your master or to you that my master has sent me to say these words? has he not sent me to the men seated on the wall? for they are the people who will be short of food with you when the town is shut in.

†[GNT] He replied, "Do you think you and the king are the only ones the emperor sent me to say all these things to? No, I am also talking to the people who are sitting on the wall, who will have to eat their excrement and drink their urine, just as you will."

†[NIV]But the commander replied, "Was it only to your master and you that my master sent me to say these things, and not to the men sitting on the wall-who, like you, will have to eat their own filth and drink their own urine?"

本会注释　　对这些坐在……的人。这些话不是单为犹大王说的，也是要给耶路撒冷的百姓听的。拉伯沙基试图要用恐惧慑服百姓的心灵，使他们给希西家带来舆论上的压力，好迫使他放弃抵抗的政策。
　　吃。拉伯沙基用这些话威胁百姓，指出抵抗所要带来的可怕后果。如果围困继续下去，他们迫于饥渴将要食用那些最不足取最不能为食物的东西（见王下6:26-29；参代下32:11）。

王下18:28 于是拉伯沙基站着，用犹大言语大声喊着说：“你们当听亚述大王的话！

†[吕]于是参谋长站着，用犹大语大声喊叫，演讲说：“你们要听大王亚述王的话。

†[思]大将军于是站起来，仍用犹太话大声喊说：“你们听大王亚述王的话罢！

†[当代]跟著，拉伯沙基站起来，用犹大话大声地喊著说：“众民啊！留心听亚述大王的谕旨，

†[新译]于是拉伯沙基站着，用犹大语大声喊着，说：“你们要听亚述大王的话。

†[Wlb]拉伯沙基遂立、以犹大方言、大声呼曰、尔曹宜听大王亚述王之言、

†[Xdv]于是，他站出来，用希伯来语大声喊叫：“你们要听亚述皇帝的谕旨。

†[Kjv]Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:

†[Nkjv]Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out with a loud voice in Hebrew, and spoke, saying, "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!

†[BBE]Then the Rab-shakeh got up and said with a loud voice in the Jews' language, Give ear to the words of the great king, the king of Assyria;

†[GNT] Then the official stood up and shouted in Hebrew, "Listen to what the emperor of Assyria is telling you!

†[NIV]Then the commander stood and called out in Hebrew: "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!

本会注释　　希伯来代表要求拉伯沙基不要用犹大人民可以听懂的语言说话，如此他们就暴露了自己的弱点。反倒使得亚述人变本加厉地利用他们的弱点。现在拉伯沙基的话不是说给王的，而是说给百姓听的。

王下18:29 王如此说：‘你们不要被希西家欺哄了；因他不能救你们脱离我的手。

†[吕]王这么说：‘你们不要给希西家欺哄了，因为他实在不能援救你们脱离我的手；

†[思]大王这样说：你们别上希则克雅的当，他决不能拯救你们脱离我的手；

†[当代]大王说：你们别上希西家的当，他根本不能救你们脱离我的手掌；

†[新译]王这样说：‘不要给希西家欺骗了你们，因为他不能从我的手中解救你们；

†[Wlb]王云、勿为希西家所欺、彼不能拯尔脱于我手、

†[Xdv]他警告你们：不可受希西家的欺骗；希西家不能救你们。

†[Kjv]Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

†[Nkjv]Thus says the king: "Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you from his hand;

†[BBE]This is what the king says: Do not be tricked by Hezekiah, for there is no salvation for you in him.

†[GNT] He warns you not to let Hezekiah deceive you. Hezekiah can't save you.

†[NIV]This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you. He cannot deliver you from my hand.

本会注释　　你们不要被希西家欺哄了。现在拉伯沙基将自己摆在了犹大人民朋友的立场上。他想让犹大的百姓感觉到希西家一心只顾自己而没有考虑人民的利益，并且他欺骗的政策会给他们带来可怕的厄运。
　　我的手。有文本为“他的手”。一些希伯来经卷文稿和许多版本都作“我的手。”相应的赛36:14省略了这个词。

王下18:30 也不要听希西家使你们倚靠耶和华，说耶和华必要拯救我们，这城必不交在亚述王的手中。’

†[吕]也不要让希西家使你们倚靠耶和华、说：‘耶和华一定会援救我们，而这城必不至于交在亚述王手里。’

†[思]也不要让希则克雅使你们依靠雅威说：雅威必会拯救我们，这城决不会落在亚述王手中。

†[当代]也不要听希西家的哄骗，依赖上帝。他会这样对你们说：‘上帝一定会解救我们的，这城断不会落在亚述王的手中。’

†[新译]也不要让希西家欺骗你们去信赖耶和华说：耶和华一定会解救我们，这城必不会交在亚述王的手中。

†[Wlb]勿听希西家使尔恃耶和华曰、耶和华必拯我、此城必不付于亚述王手、

†[Xdv]不要让他说服你们去倚靠上主。不要以为上主一定会拯救你们；不要以为亚述的军队不能攻破你们的城。

†[Kjv]Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

†[Nkjv]nor let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, "The LORD will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."'

†[BBE]And do not let Hezekiah make you put your faith in the Lord, saying, The Lord will certainly keep us safe, and this town will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.

†[GNT] And don't let him persuade you to rely on the Lord. Don't think that the Lord will save you and that he will stop our Assyrian army from capturing your city.

†[NIV]Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the Lord when he says, 'The Lord will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.'

本会注释　　亚述人似乎很了解希西家对耶和华的坚定信靠以及他鼓励他的人民也信赖上帝。的确，从一开始希西家就鼓励他的百姓要刚强壮胆（见代下32:7,8）。

王下18:31 不要听希西家的话！因亚述王如此说：‘你们要与我和好，出来投降我，各人就可以吃自己葡萄树和无花果树的果子，喝自己井里的水。 (串)王上4:25

†[吕]你们不要听希西家的话；因为亚述王这么说：‘你们要向我祝福请安，出来投降我，各人就可以吃自己葡萄树、自己无花果树的果子，喝自己井里的水；

†[思]千万别听信希则克雅！原来亚述王曾这样说：你们要与我和好，出来归顺我，各人就可以吃自己的葡萄和无花果，各人也可以喝自己井里的水，

†[当代]不要听希西家的话。亚述王呼吁你们出来归顺他，他保证你们各人必得吃自己的葡萄和无花果，也必得喝自己井里的水，

†[新译]不要听从希西家，因为亚述王这样说：你们要与我和好，出来向我投降，各人就可以吃自己的葡萄树和无花果树的果子，喝自己水池里的水。

†[Wlb]勿听希西家、盖亚述王云、尔当与我修好、出而降我、则可各食己之葡萄、及无花果、各饮己井之水、

†[Xdv]不要听希西家的话！亚述皇帝命令你们出来投降。这样，你们照旧可以吃自己的葡萄、自己的无花果，喝自己井里的水。

†[Kjv]Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:

†[Nkjv]Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: "Make peace with me by a present and come out to me; and every one of you eat from his own vine and every one from his own fig tree, and every one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;

†[BBE]Do not give ear to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me; and everyone will be free to take the fruit of his vine and of his fig-tree, and the water of his spring;

†[GNT] Don't listen to Hezekiah. The emperor of Assyria commands you to come out of the city and surrender. You will all be allowed to eat grapes from your own vines and figs from your own trees, and to drink water from your own wells -

†[NIV]Do not listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and fig tree and drink water from his own cistern,

本会注释　　不要听。实际上是在煽动犹大的百姓弃绝他们的王并将命运掌握在自己的手中。
　　和好。他劝犹大百姓与西拿基立和好并接受他作他们的王和朋友。
　　自己葡萄树。这个词组表达了平安与兴盛，正如百姓先前在所罗门的时代享受的那样（王上4:24,25），现在他们可以再度拥有这样的幸福，只要他们接受亚述王和约的条件（见弥4:3,4；亚3:10）。

王下18:32 等我来领你们到一个地方与你们本地一样，就是有五谷和新酒之地，有粮食和葡萄园之地，有橄榄树和蜂蜜之地，好使你们存活，不至于死。希西家劝导你们，说耶和华必拯救我们；你们不要听他的话。 (串)出3:8申8:7,8

†[吕]等我来领你们到一个地方像你们本地一样：一个有五谷和新酒之地，一个有粮食和葡萄园之地，一个有橄榄树与蜜之地，好叫你们活着，不至于死。你们不要听希西家的话，因为他教唆你们说：“耶和华一定会援救我们”。

†[思]直到我来领你们到一个与你们本国一样的地方去，一个有五谷和新酒的地方，一个有食粮和葡萄树的地方，一个产橄榄油和蜂蜜的地方，叫你们生活下去，而不至于死亡。千万别听信希则克雅，因为他欺骗你们说：雅威必拯救我们。

†[当代]直等到他来领你们到一处与你们的本地一样，五谷丰登，新酒处处，粮食丰足，到处都有葡萄园，又有橄榄树和蜂蜜的地方，叫你们无忧无虑地在那里过活。不要理会希西家，他只会欺哄你们说：‘上帝会解救我们的。’

†[新译]直到我来带你们到一个像你们国家的地方，那地方有五谷新酒，粮食和葡萄园，橄榄树和蜂蜜，你们必可以活着，不会死亡。不要听从希西家，因为他误导你们说：耶和华必解救我们。

†[Wlb]迨我来迁尔至一地、如尔故土、有谷、有酒、有食品、及葡萄园、橄榄树、与蜜、使尔生存、不至死亡、希西家劝尔曰、耶和华必拯我侪、勿听其言、

†[Xdv]直到皇帝把你们迁到另一个地方，跟你们的本土约略相同，有五谷、葡萄，有饼、美酒。那是产橄榄、橄榄油，和蜂蜜的地方。你们遵照他的命令就得以存活，不至于死。不要被希西家欺骗，以为上主会来拯救你们。

本会注释　　这里把亚述残酷的流放迁徙政策摆在犹大百姓面前，并说成是像天堂一般。犹大的百姓将要被带走，但得到应许所去之地将会和他们的家乡一样幸福繁荣。从某种意义上说这话也是真实的，因为的确有很多流亡的人被带到异国他乡之后发现自己对新的环境很满意，当有机会出现可以返回故国时他们竟乐不思蜀了。

†[BBE]Has any one of the gods of the nations kept his land from falling into the hands of the king of Assyria?

†[GNT] Did the gods of any other nations save their countries from the emperor of Assyria?

†[NIV]Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?

本会注释　　亚述人有充分的理由这样夸口。他们走遍全地所向披靡，攻无不取，战无不胜。似乎没有什么神明可以救他的百姓脱离亚述人的权势。亚舒尔好像成了万神之神，甚至连希伯来人的上帝也不足与之匹敌，因为撒玛利亚已经沦陷，而犹大也多年伏在亚述的权下。但亚述人一点也不知道以色列的败亡正是因为悖逆耶和华，他们虽战胜犹大并向其夸口，然而，这胜利却也是那位上帝所允许的。

王下18:34 哈马、亚珥拔的神在哪里呢？西法瓦音、希拿、以瓦的神在哪里呢？他们曾救撒玛利亚脱离我的手吗？ (串)王上8:65王下17:24|王下17:24|王下19:13

†[NIV]Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivvah? Have they rescued Samaria from my hand?

本会注释　　哈马……的神。这里列举的城邑都是新近沦陷于亚述之手的。哈马位于奥伦提斯河岸边，向南距离大马士革189公里。撒珥根经常提起这座他征服的城邑以及他迁出其中的居民。哈马的移民被安置在撒玛利亚（王下17:24），而希伯来的移民好像是被安置在哈马（赛11:11）。
　　亚珥拔。亚兰北部的一座重要城邑，在阿勒坡的西北方向。亚述人在公元前754,742,741和740年向亚珥拔发动了年度攻势战役。在公元前743年亚珥拔好像就成了提革拉-毗列色的总部，因为在那一年，亚述的军队“在亚珥拔。”公元前720年撒珥根再次攻打亚珥拔。亚珥拔现名Tell Erfâd。
　　西法瓦音。西法瓦音是居民被撒珥根迁移到撒玛利亚的城邑之一（见@王下17:24@注释）。
　　希拿。这个城镇的位置不能完全确定。有人认为它就是幼发拉底河岸边的A÷nah，但也有人认为它和本节中所列举的其它城镇一样，在亚兰北部。
　　以瓦。可能就是亚瓦，这里的居民被带往撒玛利亚（见@王下17:24@注释）。
　　他们曾救撒玛利亚……吗？这似乎是最有力的理由了，因为撒玛利亚的居民也是希伯来人，在某种意义上，至少他们也宣称自己是敬拜上帝的。
