撒母耳记上第28章

《圣经》撒母耳记上-第28章

撒上28:1 那时，非利士人聚集军旅，要与以色列人打仗。亚吉对大卫说：“你当知道，你和跟随你的人都要随我出战。” (串)撒上29:1

†[吕]当那些日子、非利士人集合军兵要打仗，要跟以色列人交战。亚吉对大卫说：“你要清清楚楚地知道你和跟随你的人都要在营旅中随我出战。”

†[思]那时培肋舍特人调集军队要进攻以色列人，阿基士对达味说：“你该知道你和你的人应协助我作战”。

†[当代]有一次，非利士人又组成大军与以色列人再度交战。“你和手下一起来助我作战好吗？”亚吉王问大卫说。

†[新译]那时，非利士人聚集他们的军队，要与以色列人争战。亚吉对大卫说：“你要清楚知道，你和跟随你的人都要在军队中与我一同出征。”

†[Wlb]维时、非利士人集其军旅、欲与以色列战、亚吉谓大卫曰、尔知尔与从者、必在军中、偕我而出、

†[Xdv]不多久，非利士人召集军队攻打以色列人。亚吉王对大卫说：“你应该明白，你和你的部下要跟我并肩作战。”

†[Kjv]And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.

†[Nkjv]Now it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, "You assuredly know that you will go out with me to battle, you and your men."

†[BBE]Now in those days the Philistines got their forces together to make war on Israel. And Achish said to David, Certainly you and your men are to go out with me to the fight.

†[GNT] Some time later the Philistines gathered their troops to fight Israel, and Achish said to David, "Of course you understand that you and your men are to fight on my side."

†[NIV]In those days the Philistines gathered their forces to fight against Israel. Achish said to David, "You must understand that you and your men will accompany me in the army."

本会注释　　你当出战。这不是邀请，而是命令。大卫作为亚吉的附庸，必须接受这位外邦君王的命令。这位非利士的统治者在过去几个月中审查了大卫的活动。他非常满意地听说大卫已经与非利士人亲密结合。对于不久之后要北上的远征军来说，这些以色列人的部队是有价值的补充。

撒上28:2 大卫对亚吉说：“仆人所能做的事，王必知道。”亚吉对大卫说：“这样，我立你永远作我的护卫长。”

†[吕]大卫对亚吉说：“好阿，仆人所能作的事、王总会知道的。”亚吉对大卫说：“好，我就立你永远做我的侍卫长。”

†[思]达味回答阿基士说：“好！你就要知道你的仆人要作什么”。阿基士对达味说：“那么，我就立你常作我的护卫”。

†[当代]大卫回答说：“好的，你很快就可以看见我们的本领了。”亚吉王说：“好啊！那你就终生作我的随身护卫吧。”

†[新译]大卫回答亚吉说：“仆人所能作的事你都知道。”于是亚吉对大卫说：“好吧，我要立你永远作我的护卫长。”

†[Wlb]大卫曰、仆之所为、尔必知之、亚吉曰、如是、我立尔为侍卫、恒保我首、

†[Xdv]大卫说：“那当然，我是你的仆人。你自己会看出我能做什么。”亚吉王说：“好啊，我要你长久作我的侍卫。”

†[Kjv]And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.

†[Nkjv]So David said to Achish, "Surely you know what your servant can do." And Achish said to David, "Therefore I will make you one of my chief guardians forever."

†[BBE]And David said to Achish, You will see now what your servant will do. And Achish said to David, Then I will make you keeper of my head for ever.

†[GNT] "Of course," David answered. "I am your servant, and you will see for yourself what I can do." Achish said, "Good! I will make you my permanent bodyguard."

†[NIV]David said, "Then you will see for yourself what your servant can do." Achish replied, "Very well, I will make you my bodyguard for life."

本会注释　　王必知道。大卫不知道自己在到了战场之后如何避免作战。他一点儿也不想举刀攻击自己的国家。然而因为与亚吉的交情，他觉得无法拒绝陪伴他出征。他再次被迫采用两面派的手段。他模棱两可的回答很象外邦的神谕。不管事情的结果如何，神谕都是正确的。但他的回答却被亚吉理解为援助的保证，并且作为回报，他向大卫许诺了丰厚诱人的奖赏（见《先祖与先知》674页）。

撒上28:3 那时撒母耳已经死了，以色列众人为他哀哭，葬他在拉玛，就是在他本城里。扫罗曾在国内不容有交鬼的和行巫术的人。 (串)撒上25:1|撒上1:19|利19:31;20:27申18:11本章7,8王下21:6

†[吕]那时撒母耳已经死了；以色列众人为他举哀，将他埋葬在拉玛、他本城里。先是扫罗曾将交鬼的和行巫术的人驱出国土。

†[思]那时撒慕已死，全以色列人举丧哀悼他．把他葬在他的故乡辣玛。撒乌耳也早已将招魂的和行巫术的人驱逐出境。

†[当代]那时撒母耳已经死了，举国都为他哀悼，后来就把他葬在他自己的家乡拉玛。当时，扫罗把所有灵媒和行巫术的都逐出以色列。

†[新译]那时，撒母耳死了，以色列众人都为他哀哭，把他埋葬在拉玛他自己的城里。扫罗曾经把交鬼的和行巫术的，都从国中除去了。

†[Wlb]撒母耳既没、以色列众为之哀悼、葬于故邑拉玛、扫罗曾于国中、逐凭鬼者及巫觋、

†[Xdv]塞缪尔已经死了；以色列人为他举哀，把他葬在他的故乡拉玛。扫罗强迫所有占卜的和巫师都离开以色列。

†[Kjv]Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.

†[Nkjv]Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.

†[BBE]Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel, after weeping for him, had put his body in its last resting-place in Ramah, his town. And Saul had put away from the land all those who had control of spirits and who made use of secret arts.

†[GNT] Now Samuel had died, and all the Israelites had mourned for him and had buried him in his hometown of Ramah. Saul had forced all the fortunetellers and mediums to leave Israel.

†[NIV]Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in his own town of Ramah. Saul had expelled the mediums and spiritists from the land.

本会注释　　撒母耳。撒母耳显然已经死了一段时间了（撒上25:1）。这节经文似乎是附加说明，为的是引入本章的主题：扫罗求问隐多珥的女巫。
　　不容有。这里并没有说明扫罗在国内废除巫术是在他统治的什么时期。有人认为可能是在早期。但有人认为是在扫罗发现自己被邪灵附身之后；他希望因而除掉造成他所有烦恼的根由。招魂术周围列国常见的作法，但是禁止以色列参与（申18:9-14）。见《先祖与先知》676页。

撒上28:4 非利士人聚集，来到书念安营；扫罗聚集以色列众人在基利波安营。 (串)书19:18王下4:8|撒上31:1

†[吕]非利士人集合以来，在书念扎营；扫罗集合以色列众人，在基利波扎营。

†[思]培肋舍特人调齐以后，来到叔能扎营。

†[当代]非利士人在书念扎营，扫罗就率领以色列军队在基利波跟他们对垒。

†[新译]非利士人聚集起来，来到书念安营；扫罗也聚集以色列众人，在基利波安营。

†[Wlb]非利士人咸集、往书念建营、扫罗集以色列众、建营于基利波、

†[Xdv]非利士人的军队聚集在书念城附近扎营；扫罗召集以色列人在基利波山扎营。

†[Kjv]And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.

†[Nkjv]Then the Philistines gathered together, and came and encamped at Shunem. So Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped at Gilboa.

†[BBE]And the Philistines came together and put their forces in position in Shunem; and Saul got all Israel together and they took up their positions in Gilboa.

†[GNT] The Philistine troops assembled and camped near the town of Shunem; Saul gathered the Israelites and camped at Mount Gilboa.

†[NIV]The Philistines assembled and came and set up camp at Shunem, while Saul gathered all the Israelites and set up camp at Gilboa.

本会注释　　书念。现在是Sôlem，在耶斯列东北约5公里处，位于摩利亚山南部山脚，在基利波山山谷的对面。这一山谷，叫作耶斯列或Esdraelon，是一片水源充足的肥沃平原，通过米吉多的关口从滨海平原很容易进入。这一山谷向东南延伸，切断了中央山脉，向东下降到伯珊的约旦河流域。摩利亚山和基利波山矗立在耶斯列宽广平原的正东端，形成了巴勒斯坦那部个地区的分水岭。分水岭东面的水流入约旦河；西面的水流入基顺河，再流入地中海。位于这两座山之间并且形成了Esdraelon较低范围的这个大山谷就是耶斯列平原，由雅鲁河将水排出。这条河在流向约旦时经过伯珊。
　　虽然没有明确说到那个意思，但是非利士人能穿过这个平原到书念，表明扫罗一直抱定决心要寻索大卫，却在国防上极其怠慢，玩忽职守。非利士人已经利用了这一疏忽。扫罗要在地上除掉大卫的疯狂热情，已经不知不觉地向非利士人的入侵敞开了全部国土。入侵者可能已经蹂躏了属于以萨迦、西布伦、和亚设支派的大片领土。从基利波山顶，扫罗可以对耶斯列平原和安营在摩利亚山脚下约6或8公里的敌军一览无遗。可能以色列的侦察兵报告扫罗说大卫在非利士军队一边。这消息使扫罗更加绝望，十分害怕，惟恐大卫现在要报复（见《先祖与先知》675页）。

撒上28:5 扫罗看见非利士的军旅就惧怕，心中发颤。

†[吕]扫罗看见非利士人的军兵，就惧怕，心中颤抖得很。

†[思]撒乌耳看见培肋舍特人的军营就害怕起来，心中非常恐慌，

†[当代]扫罗看见非利士的军队声势浩大，便很是震惊，于是就立刻求问主他应该怎么办；但主却没有藉著梦境、乌陵或先知来回答他。

†[新译]扫罗看见了非利士人的军队，就惧怕，他的心大大发抖。

†[Wlb]扫罗见非利士之军旅、则惧、中心战栗、

†[Xdv]扫罗看见非利士人的军队，很是惧怕，

†[Kjv]And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.

†[Nkjv]When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.

†[BBE]And when Saul saw the Philistine army he was troubled, and his heart was moved with fear.

†[GNT] When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was terrified,

†[NIV]When Saul saw the Philistine army, he was afraid; terror filled his heart.

撒上28:6 扫罗求问耶和华，耶和华却不藉梦，或乌陵，或先知回答他。 (串)民12:6|出28:30民27:21申33:8|撒上14:37本章15

†[吕]扫罗求问永恒主，永恒主却没有藉着梦，没有藉着乌陵，也没有藉着神言人而回答他。

†[思]遂去求问上主，但上主没有藉梦境，也没有藉“乌陵”，也没有藉先知答覆他。

†[当代]－

†[新译]扫罗求问耶和华，耶和华却没有借着梦，或乌陵，或先知回答他。

†[Wlb]询于耶和华、耶和华不以梦与乌陵先知答之、

†[Xdv]就求问上主该怎么办。但上主既不藉着梦，又不藉着乌陵，也不藉着先知回答他。

†[Kjv]And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

†[Nkjv]And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets.

†[BBE]And when Saul went for directions to the Lord, the Lord gave him no answer, by a dream or by the Urim or by the prophets.

†[GNT] and so he asked the Lord what to do. But the Lord did not answer him at all, either by dreams or by the use of Urim and Thummim or by prophets.

†[NIV]He inquired of the Lord , but the Lord did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.

本会注释　　求问耶和华。这句话与代上10:14说扫罗没有求问耶和华的话并不矛盾。希伯来词语的含义一般都比较丰富。在代上10:14中，“求问”包括（1）求问信息，（2）接受答复，（3）顺利地执行答复的整个过程。在本节经文中，扫罗没有进行这种求问。这里的“求问”只表示比较狭窄的意思。扫罗确实询问过上帝，但耶和华没有答复他。
　　不……回答他。耶和华决不会转脸不顾任何谦卑诚实地来到祂面前的人。回答可能不会以所期待的方式或时间来到，但是上帝却注意这请求并根据环境采取最好的行动。扫罗的疯狂请求达到了上帝的耳中，但是鉴于当时的局面，上帝选择不给予这位王所寻求的信息。扫罗在吉甲曾故意拒绝等候耶和华的指导（撒上13:8-14），也不接受任何与他这位君王的想法相反的信息。他本可以前往挪伯的帐幕，但他已杀害了祭司们。扫罗自愿选择随从他自己的意见，所以上帝就允许他自食其果。要是他悔改并顺从的话，上帝就会把他的错误变为成功的踏脚石。扫罗的经验证明了以下的真理：“人种的是什么，收的也是什么”（加6:7；参《教会证言》卷五第119页）。
　　经文似乎表明扫罗在绝望中慌忙要通过梦、乌陵和先知求问，但这三者都没有回答。由于亚比亚他已经带走了以弗得，有人认为扫罗下令另做了一个。

撒上28:7 扫罗吩咐臣仆说：“当为我找一个交鬼的妇人，我好去问她。”臣仆说：“在隐多珥有一个交鬼的妇人。” (串)本章3,8代上10:13|书17:11诗83:10

†[吕]扫罗就对臣仆说：“要为我寻找一个有特质能交鬼的女人，我好去见她，去寻问她。”臣仆说：“看哪，在隐多珥有一个有特质能交鬼的女人呢。”

†[思]撒乌耳便对臣仆说：“你们给我找个召魂的女巫，我顼到她那去求问”。他的臣仆回答他说：“现今在恩多尔有个招魂的女巫”。

†[当代]最后，扫罗只好命令他的臣仆找一个灵媒来，问问她该怎么做。结果，他们在隐多珥找到一个交鬼的妇人。

†[新译]于是扫罗对他的臣仆说：“你们要为我寻找一个能交鬼的女人，我好去求问她。”他的臣仆回答他说：“在隐多珥有一个能交鬼的女人。”

†[Wlb]扫罗谓其仆曰、为我寻一女巫、我将就而问焉、仆曰、在隐多珥有女巫、

†[Xdv]于是扫罗命令他的臣仆说：“替我找一个巫婆，我要去问她。”他们回答：“在隐多珥有一个。”

†[Kjv]Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.

†[Nkjv]Then Saul said to his servants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor."

†[BBE]Then Saul said to his servants, Get me a woman who has control of a spirit so that I may go to her and get directions. And his servants said to him, There is such a woman at En-dor.

†[GNT] Then Saul ordered his officials, "Find me a woman who is a medium, and I will go and consult her." "There is one in Endor," they answered.

†[NIV]Saul then said to his attendants, "Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her." "There is one in Endor," they said.

本会注释　　为我找一个交鬼的妇人。扫罗在疯狂的匆忙中，转向了他自己曾宣告有罪的信息之源（3节）。这个一度充满属灵热忱的人现在竟屈从于异教迷信，召请所谓死人的灵来提供帮助。
　　交鬼的妇人。ba`alath-'ob。Ba`alath意思是“主妇”。'Ob应译为“巫师”或现代语中的“灵媒”（见@利19:31@注释）。该词还指通灵术，如扫罗在第8节中说：“求你用交鬼的法术”。英文语的通灵术（necromancy）来自两个希腊词nekros（死），和manteia（占卜），指通过与所谓死人的灵交流来探知未来的法术。
　　隐多珥。摩利亚山后面的一座城镇，在非利士营的对面，距扫罗和他的部队所在的基利波山约11.2公里，现在还叫隐多珥（Endôr）。

撒上28:8 于是扫罗改了装，穿上别的衣服，带着两个人，夜里去见那妇人。扫罗说：“求你用交鬼的法术，将我所告诉你的死人，为我招上来。” (串)王上20:38;22:30代下18:29;35:22|申18:11利19:31;20:27本章3,7|利19:26申18:10

†[吕]于是扫罗化了装，穿上别的衣服就走，有两个人跟随他，夜里去见那女人，说：“请为我用交鬼法术、将我所向我告诉你的死者、给我招上来。”

†[思]撒乌耳就改装易服，带了两个人作伴，夜间来见那女人，对她说：“求用招魂的法术给我占卜，将向指出的人给我招上来”。

†[当代]扫罗换上平民的装束，由两个人陪同，乘夜赶到那妇人家里。他说：“我要找一个死人问一点东西，请你用法术把他请来吧。”

†[新译]于是扫罗改装易服，带着两个人与他一同去了。他们夜里到了那女人那里。扫罗说：“请你用交鬼的法术，把我所告诉你的那人为我招上来。”

†[Wlb]扫罗改装易服而往、二人偕之、夜至妇所、曰、请尔凭神、为我卜筮、我所称其名者、可招之上、

†[Xdv]于是扫罗改装异服，在天黑后跟两个随从去见那女人。扫罗对她说：“请为我求问亡魂，告诉我将要发生的事。我给你一个人名，你招他的魂来。”

†[Kjv]And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.

†[Nkjv]So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, "Please conduct a s^eaance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you."

†[BBE]So Saul, putting on other clothing, so that he might not be seen to be the king, took two men with him and went to the woman by night; and he said, Now, with the help of the spirit which you have, make the person whose name I will give you come up.

†[GNT] So Saul disguised himself; he put on different clothes, and after dark he went with two of his men to see the woman. "Consult the spirits for me and tell me what is going to happen," he said to her. "Call up the spirit of the man I name."

†[NIV]So Saul disguised himself, putting on other clothes, and at night he and two men went to the woman. "Consult a spirit for me," he said, "and bring up for me the one I name."

撒上28:9 妇人对他说：“你知道扫罗从国中剪除交鬼的和行巫术的。你为何陷害我的性命，使我死呢？”

†[吕]那女人对他说：“哎，你自己也知道扫罗所作的：他怎样从国中剪灭了交鬼的和行巫术的；你为什么设了陷阱要害我的性命于死地呢？”

†[思]那女人回答说：“啊！你知道撒慕尔作了什么，他已经将国内招魂和行巫术的人铲除，为什么你来陷陷阱害我的性命，叫我死呢？。

†[当代]妇人就对他说：“你想害死我吗？你不知道扫罗已经把所有交鬼的和行巫术的都杀了吗？你是要来陷害我，把我置诸死地吗？”

†[新译]那女人回答他：“你是知道扫罗所作的，他已经把交鬼的和行巫术的，都从国中剪除了，你为什么要陷害我的命，使我死呢？”

†[Wlb]妇曰、扫罗绝凭鬼者及巫觋于国中、彼之所为、尔所知也、何设机槛、以害我命、致我于死乎、

†[Xdv]那女人说：“你应该知道扫罗王的规定，他强迫占卜的和巫师都离开以色列（或译：他把以色列中的占卜的和巫师都处死了）。你为什么想陷害我，使我丧命呢？”

†[Kjv]And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?

†[Nkjv]Then the woman said to him, "Look, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. Why then do you lay a snare for my life, to cause me to die?"

†[BBE]And the woman said to him, But you have knowledge of what Saul has done, how he has put away out of the land those who have control of spirits and the users of secret arts: why would you, by a trick, put me in danger of death?

†[GNT] The woman answered, "Surely you know what King Saul has done, how he forced the fortunetellers and mediums to leave Israel. Why, then, are you trying to trap me and get me killed?"

†[NIV]But the woman said to him, "Surely you know what Saul has done. He has cut off the mediums and spiritists from the land. Why have you set a trap for my life to bring about my death?"

本会注释　　行巫术的。直译是“知道的人”。行巫术的人被认为是拥有看不见之世界的专门知识。他们被归入巫师一类，同样被上帝视为可憎的（见利19:31；20:6,27；申18:11；王下21:6；23:24；代下33:6；赛8:19；19:3）。
　　使我死。扫罗的全国性法令并没有得到全体国民的充分配合。国家的法令往往未能得到普遍的执行。罗马对基督徒的迫害不但不能阻止基督教的生存，反而使之在许多情况下兴旺起来。
　　这个交鬼的妇人显然从扫罗的仪态上认出了他（见12节注释），现在为她自己的性命担忧了（见25节注释）。她完全知道她的巫术是王家禁止的，但她还在私下从事这种活动。她并不知道扫罗本人已被邪灵搅扰很久了（撒上16:14-16），现在已完全处于它们的支配之下。

撒上28:10 扫罗向妇人指着耶和华起誓说：“我指着永生的耶和华起誓，你必不因这事受刑。” (串)得3:13

†[吕]扫罗指着永恒主向那女人起誓说：“我指着永活的永恒主来起誓，你一定不会因这事而受罪罚的。”

†[思]撒乌耳就指着上主对她发誓说：“上主永在！为这事决不会受害”。

†[当代]但扫罗却郑重起誓不会出卖她，

†[新译]扫罗指着耶和华起誓说：“我指着永活的耶和华起誓，你必不因这事受惩罚。”

†[Wlb]扫罗指耶和华而誓曰、我指维生之耶和华而誓、尔不因此受刑、

†[Xdv]扫罗对她发誓说：“我指着永生上主答应你：你做这事，一定不会受惩罚。”

†[Kjv]And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.

†[Nkjv]And Saul swore to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

†[BBE]And Saul made an oath to her by the Lord, saying, By the living Lord, no punishment will come to you for this.

†[GNT] Then Saul made a sacred vow. "By the living Lord I promise that you will not be punished for doing this," he told her.

†[NIV]Saul swore to her by the Lord , "As surely as the Lord lives, you will not be punished for this."

本会注释　　必不受刑。扫罗觉得自己作为国王，有权免受任何律法的约束，还能应许豁免任何帮助他摆脱困境的人。

撒上28:11 妇人说：“我为你招谁上来呢？”回答说：“为我招撒母耳上来。”

†[吕]那女人说：“我须为你招上谁来呢？”扫罗说：“你为我招上撒母耳来。”

†[思]那女人问说：“要我给你招谁上来？”他答说：“给我招撒乌耳上来”。

†[当代]那妇人看见他的诚意，最后就问他说：“那么你想找哪一个上来呢？”扫罗回答说：“我找的是撒母耳！”

†[新译]那女人问：“我要为你招谁上来呢？”扫罗回答：“为我招撒母耳上来。”

†[Wlb]妇曰、为尔招谁上乎、曰、招撒母耳、

†[Xdv]那女人问：“你要我招谁来呢？”扫罗说：“塞缪尔。”

†[Kjv]Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.

†[Nkjv]Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" And he said, "Bring up Samuel for me."

†[BBE]Then the woman said, Who am I to let you see? And he said, Make Samuel come up for me.

†[GNT] "Whom shall I call up for you?" the woman asked. "Samuel," he answered.

†[NIV]Then the woman asked, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" "Bring up Samuel," he said.

本会注释　　为我招撒母耳上来。为什么扫罗会首先要求召撒母耳呢？这位先知曾是国王的导师和顾问，并曾在扫罗受膏时预言了几件事，它们的应验给扫罗带来了喜乐和平安。但是他暴虐的性情开始暴露得有多么快，他对上帝忠告的尊敬减少得就有多快。这种态度反过来发展成了一种漠不关心甚至仇恨，直到这位国王在要根绝他的对手的努力中忽视了行政管理的每一责任。大卫在两次不同的场合中以仁慈待他，这种记忆在他病态的心灵中仍是激起怨恨的。扫罗开始认识到他在许多国民的眼中已经失败了，他看他们在离弃他逃向大卫。他因上天的沉默而极其恼怒，就寻求某种强迫的方式要得到回答。

撒上28:12 妇人看见撒母耳，就大声呼叫，对扫罗说：“你是扫罗，为什么欺哄我呢？”

†[吕]那女人看着扫罗（传统：撒母耳），就大声喊叫，对扫罗说：“你为什么哄骗我？你就是扫罗呀！”

†[思]那女人一看见撒慕尔就大喊一声，对撒乌耳说：“你为什么哄骗我？你就是撒乌耳！”

†[当代]那妇人看见了撒母耳，就惊叫道：“原来你就是扫罗，你为什么骗我呢？”

†[新译]那女人看见了撒母耳，就大声呼叫。那女人对扫罗说：“你为什么欺骗我？你就是扫罗！”

†[Wlb]妇见撒母耳、则大声而呼、谓扫罗曰、何欺我耶、尔乃扫罗、

†[Xdv]当女人看到塞缪尔的时候，她惊叫起来，对扫罗说：“你为什么戏弄我？你就是扫罗王啊！”

†[Kjv]And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.

†[Nkjv]When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice. And the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul!"

†[BBE]And the woman saw that it was Saul, and she gave a loud cry, and said to Saul, Why have you made use of deceit? for you are Saul.

†[GNT] When the woman saw Samuel, she screamed and said to Saul, "Why have you tricked me? You are King Saul!"

†[NIV]When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!"

本会注释　　亚吉信了大卫。大卫的欺骗是又一个严重的错误，对于一个拥有如此高属灵特权的人来说是不足取的。在与罪恶的斗争中，胜利的代价是不断警醒和持续顺从上帝的旨意。但是上帝的仁慈并没有在大卫灰心丧气的时候丢弃他。大卫拥有不变的宗旨和真诚的愿望要完全与上帝的计划合作。这种态度使他在罪恶被揭露时承认自己的罪恶并立即开始纠正他的错误。
　　大卫离开犹大是犯了第一个错误。在未经上帝许可就离开同胞的罪上，他又加上欺骗的第二个罪。如果大卫留在犹大，上帝就会象祂从前那样搭救他。当以色列去基利波抵挡非利士人的进攻时（撒上28:4），大卫原可以被耶和华使用去赢得这样的胜利，同时获得全国的普遍赞扬。在扫罗犯了严重的错误寻索大卫的性命时，大卫却犯了一个几乎更致命的大错：没有来自上帝的明确意见就离开祖国。

本会注释　　你是扫罗。这个信息是超自然的，但不是来自上帝。上帝曾下令处死一切行巫术的人，表明祂对通灵术的憎恶（利20:27）。就连那些请教灵媒的人也要被剪除（利20:6）。因此这种信息必是来自其他的源头。有人主张死人的灵回来与活人交通。他们认为是撒母耳的灵回应了灵媒的召唤。但是撒母耳作为先知说话，他的信息间接来自上帝，而经上明说耶和华已拒绝与扫罗交通（撒上28:6）。扫罗被杀，是“因为他求问交鬼的妇人；没有求问耶和华”（代上10:13,14）。
　　死人的灵回来与活人交通的道理，来自人死后灵魂仍有知觉的信念，以及这种灵就是真人的信念。圣经确实教导说，人死后灵归于赐灵的上帝（传12:7），但《旧约》断然否认这种灵是有知觉的实体（伯14:21；诗146:4；传9:5,6）。《新约》教导了同样的道理。耶稣指出，信徒的团聚是在祂复临之时，而不是在人死亡的时候（约14:1-3）。否则耶稣就可以安慰祂忧伤的门徒们说，死亡不久就临到他们，但他们会因此立即到天国与祂同在了。保罗在安慰那些失去亲人的人之时，意味深长地宣布活着的人断不能在死了的人以先，而是所有人都会在同一时刻与他们的主团聚（帖前4:16,17）。
　　所以撒母耳的灵显然并没有在这里与扫罗交流。信息另有一个来源。圣经显明撒但和他的使者有传达信息和改变自己的形状的能力（见太4:1-11；林后11:13,14）。向隐多珥的妇人显现的幽灵是恶魔扮演的撒母耳。所给的信息来自黑暗之君。
　　虽然招魂术集会的许多现象都涉及欺骗和魔术，但不是所有的现象都可以这样解释的。许多研究过招魂术集会的人都承认有一种能力存在，是无法用骗术或已知的科学定律来解释的。
　　圣经预言了在末时超自然的现象会增多（太7:22,23；帖后2:9；启13:13,14；16:14）。反对这些骗局的唯一保障就是用圣经的真理武装心灵，以致能认出那试探者的伪装。坚信死人没有知觉的真理，会使仇敌通过招魂术的灵媒和假想来自死者的信息进行宣传渗透的任何努力都没有效力（见《善恶之争》第34章）。
　　与妇人说话的这个灵似乎喜欢透露揭开扫罗伪装的信息，嘲弄这位国王终于来求助于他先前曾想要止息之能力的奇怪行径。在魔鬼的超自然的能力之前，这位国王的虚张声势、自我辩白和形形色色的托辞都象风前的糠秕一样被吹散了。

撒上28:13 王对妇人说：“不要惧怕，你看见了什么呢？”妇人对扫罗说：“我看见有神从地里上来。”

†[吕]王对那女人说：“不要惧怕；你看见了什么？”那女人对扫罗说：“我看见有神魂从地里上来。”

†[思]王对她说：“不要怕！究竟看见了什么？”那女人回答撒乌耳说：“我看见神由地中上来”。

†[当代]扫罗安抚她说：“不用害怕，告诉我，你看见什么呢？”“我看见一个幽灵从地里上来。”

†[新译]王对她说：“不要惧怕。你看见了什么？”那女人回答扫罗：“我看见有神灵从地里上来。”

†[Wlb]王曰、勿畏、尔所见者何、妇曰、我见有神由地而出、

†[Xdv]扫罗王对她说：“不要怕！你看到了什么？”女人回答：“我看见一个像神明的人从地里上来。”

†[Kjv]And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.

†[Nkjv]And the king said to her, "Do not be afraid. What did you see?" And the woman said to Saul, "I saw a spirit ascending out of the earth."

†[BBE]And the king said to her, Have no fear: what do you see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth.

†[GNT] "Don't be afraid!" the king said to her. "What do you see?" "I see a spirit coming up from the earth," she answered.

†[NIV]The king said to her, "Don't be afraid. What do you see?" The woman said, "I see a spirit coming up out of the ground."

本会注释　　神。'elohim，有2,500多次指真神（见《SDA圣经注释》卷一第170,171页），也常用来指假神（创35:2；出12:12；20:3等）。还有三次译为“审判官（士师）”（出21:6；22:8,9）。该词在这里可能也应这么译，那就成了妇人说：“我看见有士师从地里上来。”这就与撒母耳的士师的身份相一致了。虽然这个妇人用的是复数形式，但是扫罗似乎理解的是单数，因为他问道：“他是怎样的形状？”在另一方面，她也可能是在'elohim更常见的意义——“神”——上使用该词的。

撒上28:14 扫罗说：“他是怎样的形状？”妇人说：“有一个老人上来，身穿长衣。”扫罗知道是撒母耳，就屈身，脸伏于地下拜。

†[吕]扫罗问那女人说：“他的形状怎样？”那女人说：“有一个老人上来，身披长袍。”扫罗知道是撒母耳，就俯身，面伏于地而下拜。

†[思]撒乌耳问说：“什么形状？”她答说：“上来了一位老人，身披外氅”。撒乌耳便知道这是撒慕尔，遂俯首至地下拜。

†[当代]“他是什么模样的呢？”“他是个身披长袍的老人。”扫罗知道妇人所说的是撒母耳，便在他面前屈身下拜。

†[新译]扫罗问她：“他的容貌怎样？”她回答：“上来的是一个身披外袍的老人。”扫罗知道那人是撒母耳，就脸伏于地向他叩拜。

†[Wlb]曰、其状若何、曰、有一老者、身衣礼服、扫罗知为撒母耳、则伏地而拜、

†[Xdv]扫罗问：“他像什么？”女人答：“是一个老人上来；他穿着长袍。”扫罗知道那是塞缪尔，就恭敬地伏在地上。

†[Kjv]And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.

†[Nkjv]So he said to her, "What is his form?" And she said, "An old man is coming up, and he is covered with a mantle." And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground and bowed down.

†[BBE]And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, It is an old man coming up covered with a robe. And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and with his face bent down to the earth he gave him honour.

†[GNT] "What does it look like?" he asked. "It's an old man coming up," she answered. "He is wearing a cloak." Then Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he bowed to the ground in respect.

†[NIV]What does he look like?" he asked. "An old man wearing a robe is coming up," she said. Then Saul knew it was Samuel, and he bowed down and prostrated himself with his face to the ground.

本会注释　　怎样的形状？扫罗的提问和妇人的回答证明他自己并没有看到那个幽灵。也许有一个帘幕把他与灵媒隔开了，也许他在洞穴午夜的黑暗中直接站在她面前。当她形容那幽灵时，扫罗“知道是撒母耳。”
　　假如认为上帝的能力会赐给一个把撒母耳从他安息之所召上来的巫师，那就与一切正义的原则背道而驰的。不可能想象禁止任何巫术的上帝（申18:10-12）会答应一个灵媒的请求，搅扰祂已睡的圣徒撒母耳。但由于撒但有能力在旷野以一位光明天使的形象出现在耶稣面前，所以他或他的代理如蒙允许也能在形象和声音上扮演撒母耳。魔鬼抓住了这个机会用命运的讽刺来嘲弄扫罗。那个一度曾镇压这种巫术倡导者的人，现在竟在那种能力前屈膝求助了。

撒上28:15 撒母耳对扫罗说：“你为什么搅扰我，招我上来呢？”扫罗回答说：“我甚窘急；因为非利士人攻击我，上帝也离开我，不再藉先知或梦回答我。因此请你上来，好指示我应当怎样行。” (串)士16:20撒上16:14;18:12

†[吕]撒母耳对扫罗说：“你为什么搅扰我，把我招上来？”扫罗说：“我非常困难；非利士人对我作战，上帝又离开我，不再由神言人经手、也不再藉着梦来回答我；因此我请你来指示我该怎样行。”

†[思]撒慕尔对撒乌耳说：“为什么你扰乱我，叫我上来？”撒乌耳答说：“我很是苦痛。培肋舍特人攻击我，上主已远离我，又不藉先知，也不藉梦境答覆我，所以我招你上来，指教我该作什么”。

†[当代]撒母耳说：“你为什么骚扰我，把我招来呢？”他回答道：“因为我非常烦恼啊！”非利士人与我们交战，上帝却撇弃了我，没有藉著先知或梦境来回答我。因此，我只好招你上来告诉我应该怎么办。”

†[新译]撒母耳对扫罗说：“你为什么搅扰我，把我招上来呢？”扫罗说：“我非常苦恼，非利士人正在攻打我，　神又离开了我，不再借着先知或异梦回答我。所以我请你上来，指示我应该怎样行。”

†[Wlb]撒母耳谓扫罗曰、尔何扰我、使我上耶、扫罗曰、我甚窘急、非利士人将与我战、上帝离我、不以先知与梦答我、故招尔至、示我以所当行、

†[Xdv]塞缪尔问扫罗：“你为什么烦扰我？为什么招我来？”扫罗说：“我有大灾祸了！非利士人要跟我打仗，而上帝已经离弃了我。他不再藉着先知，也不藉着梦回答我。所以我才招你上来；求你告诉我该怎么做。”

†[Kjv]And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I

†[GNT] Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me? Why did you make me come back?" Saul answered, "I am in great trouble! The Philistines are at war with me, and God has abandoned me. He doesn't answer me any more, either by prophets or by dreams. And so I

†[NIV]Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" "I am in great distress," Saul said. "The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has turned away from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called

本会注释　　撒母耳……说。这句话不可解释为真的是撒母耳在说话。作者只是照事件出现的样子予以描述。这也是叙述的正常方式。圣经还说日升日落呢，我们也这样说。然而却没有人会因为我们事实上只说到现象而被欺骗或感到困惑。实际上，日头并没有升起也没有落下，而是地球在旋转。在本节经文中，根据上下文和与其它经文的比较，表明是一个伪撒母耳在冒充已故的先知说这句话（见12节注释）。
　　招我上来。见11节中，“上来”出现了两次。显然古人通常视地下为死人的住所。如果那时的人也象大多数基督徒那样，相信义人死时就升天了，那么就应该是召撒母耳下来，而撒母耳灵魂的扮演者就应该说：“你为什么招我下来呢？”有人说，本节是死了的义人有知觉的道理的证据。但单凭圣经记录的上面这一点，本身就足以排除了这种观点。

撒上28:16 撒母耳说：“耶和华已经离开你，且与你为敌，你何必问我呢？

†[吕]撒母耳说：“永恒主既已离开了你，跟你为敌，为什么还问我呢？

†[思]撒慕尔说：“上主既已离开了你，你为什么还来问我？

†[当代]撒母耳却回答他说：“如果主已经离弃了你，与你为敌，你来问我又有什么用呢？

†[新译]撒母耳说：“耶和华既然离开了你，又成了你的敌人，你为什么还问我呢？

†[Wlb]撒母耳曰、耶和华既已离尔、为尔之敌、曷问我哉、

†[Xdv]塞缪尔说：“既然上主离弃了你，成了你的敌人，你为什么还要招我呢？

†[Kjv]Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?

†[Nkjv]Then Samuel said: "So why do you ask me, seeing the LORD has departed from you and has become your enemy?

†[BBE]And Samuel said, Why do you put your questions to me, seeing that God has gone away from you and is on the side of him who is against you?

†[GNT] Samuel said, "Why do you call me when the Lord has abandoned you and become your enemy?

†[NIV]Samuel said, "Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has turned away from you and become your enemy?

本会注释　　与你为敌。这句话暴露出是谁说的。本节和下面一节表达了魔鬼的典型策略。撒但堕落以后，就竭力用虚假的颜料描绘上帝的品格。他把上帝描绘成一位好报复的暴君，把所有不敬畏祂的人都投入地狱（见《善恶之争》534页）。他引诱人犯罪，然后又指出他们的情形是全然无望的。他把上帝描述为只要有不接受罪人的最小藉口，祂就不愿意饶恕罪人。他就这样把上帝描绘为人类的仇敌。这种观念是异教信仰的基础。这种宗教教导说，必须通过献祭来安抚发怒的上帝。这种教训与圣经的道理是完全相反的。圣经说，上帝爱所有人的，乐意为拯救罪人作出最大的牺牲（约3:16；彼后3:9）。

撒上28:17 耶和华照他藉我说的话，已经从你手里夺去国权，赐与别人，就是大卫。 (串)撒上15:28

†[吕]永恒主已照由我经手所说的话来办你（传统：他）；永恒主已从你手中撕去了国权，给你邻近的人大卫。

†[思]上主对你实践了藉我所说的话：上主已由你手中夺去王权，赐给了你的近人达味；

†[当代]祂现在所做的只是应验著我向你说的话，把你的国权夺过来，交给你的对头人大卫罢了。

†[新译]耶和华已经照着他借我所说的话行了，他把王国从你手中夺去，赐给别人，就是大卫。

†[Wlb]昔耶和华藉我所言、今行于尔、夺国于尔手、以畀尔邻大卫、

†[Xdv]上主向你所做的，已经藉我的口告诉过你了；他已经夺去了你的王国，把它赐给大卫；

†[Kjv]And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:

†[Nkjv]And the LORD has done for Himself as He spoke by me. For the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.

†[BBE]And the Lord himself has done what I said: the Lord has taken the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour David;

†[GNT] The Lord has done to you what he told you through me: he has taken the kingdom away from you and given it to David instead.

†[NIV]The Lord has done what he predicted through me. The Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors-to David.

本会注释　　夺去国权。这个灵佯装来自天上的声音，通过告诉扫罗说他的国权会交给他的对手来嘲弄他。撒但授意扫罗所结交的人，激起这位王对大卫的仇恨，然后宣布扫罗多年努力阻止的事发生了，从而把他的积怨变为痛苦。他听说大卫与非利士人在一起（《先祖与先知》675页），现在可能想象耶和华的仇敌们是来征服他并把国权给大卫的。

撒上28:18 因你没有听从耶和华的命令；他恼怒亚玛力人，你没有灭绝他们，所以今日耶和华向你这样行， (串)撒上15:11

†[吕]因为你没有听永恒主的声音，没有向亚玛力人执行永恒主的烈怒，永恒主今天才向你行这样的事。

†[思]因为你没有听从上主的话，没有执行对阿玛肋克所怀的盛怒，为此，上主今天这样对待了你。

†[当代]这些不幸的事降临到你身上，是因为你没有听从祂的吩咐，没有把祂所恨恶的亚玛力人灭绝；

†[新译]因为你没有听从耶和华的话，没有执行他对亚玛力人所怀的烈怒，所以今天耶和华向你行了这样的事，

†[Wlb]尔不听耶和华命、成其烈怒于亚玛力、故今日耶和华以此加诸尔、

†[Xdv]因为你违背上主的命令，没有把亚玛力人和他们所有的一切全部消灭。所以，上主这样对待你；

†[Kjv]Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.

†[Nkjv]Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.

†[BBE]Because you did not do what the Lord said, and did not give effect to his burning wrath against Amalek. So the Lord has done this thing to you today.

†[GNT] You disobeyed the Lord's command and did not completely destroy the Amalekites and all they had. That is why the Lord is doing this to you now.

†[NIV]Because you did not obey the Lord or carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the Lord has done this to you today.

本会注释　　所以耶和华向你这样行。虽然撒但授意扫罗在处理亚玛力人的事上不顺从，现在他却以耶和华的名义谴责这位国王。上帝就这样被描述为与撒但使用同样的手段。上帝实际上并没有与扫罗为敌。祂只是让人种的是什么，收的也是什么。扫罗现在的状况是他自己选择的结果。上帝已再三发出警告与忠告尽力拯救他免于灾难，但是扫罗坚持用自己有限的判断反对上帝的指示。

撒上28:19 并且耶和华必将你和以色列人交在非利士人的手里。明日你和你众子必与我在一处了；耶和华必将以色列的军兵交在非利士人手里。” (串)撒上31:2

†[吕]并且呢、永恒主也必将以色列连你都交在非利士人手里；明天你和你儿子们就同我在一处了；永恒主必将以色列军兵交在非利士人手里。”

†[思]上主还要把以色列和你一起交在培肋舍特人手中；明日你和你的儿子要同我在一起；并且上主也要把以色列军队交在培肋舍特人手中”。

†[当代]还有，明天以色列全军将会被非利士人杀得溃败不堪，你和你的儿子都要来跟我在一起了。”

†[新译]并且耶和华必把以色列和你一起都交在非利士人手里；明天你和你的儿子们都要和我一起了。耶和华必把以色列的军队交在非利士人手里。”

†[Wlb]且将尔与以色列人、付于非利士人手、明日尔及尔子、必与我偕、以色列军旅、亦付于非利士人手、

†[Xdv]他要把你和以色列人交给非利士人。明天，你和你的儿子们会跟我在一起；上主会把以色列的军队交给非利士人。”

†[Kjv]Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

†[Nkjv]Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines."

†[BBE]And more than this, the Lord will give Israel up with you into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me: and the Lord will give up the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.

†[GNT] He will give you and Israel over to the Philistines. Tomorrow you and your sons will join me, and the Lord will also give the army of Israel over to the Philistines."

†[NIV]The Lord will hand over both Israel and you to the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The Lord will also hand over the army of Israel to the Philistines."

本会注释　　非利士人的手里。扫罗既自愿与仇敌纠缠来贬低自己，撒但就乘机嘲弄他并使他气馁。关于迫近的战争，撒但使扫罗感到他已经失败了。实际上耶和华现在可能象祂曾在米斯巴（撒上7:10）那样准备好拯救以色列。但是在那时以色列承认了自己的罪并且“呼求耶和华”。要是扫罗承认自己的罪，把全以色列人聚在一起，告诉他们他的软弱，并将军队重新奉献给耶和华，这场战争的结果可能就会大不相同了。撒但藉着告诉国王没有任何得到赦免的希望，以及他对上帝的严重背叛，成功地使扫罗彻底气馁，并把他引向毁灭。

撒上28:20 扫罗猛然仆倒，挺身在地，因撒母耳的话甚是惧怕；那一昼一夜没有吃什么，就毫无气力。

†[吕]于是扫罗猛然仆倒，全身僵直在地上。他因撒母耳的话、非常惧怕，一点力气也没有了；因为他一昼一夜都没有吃饭。

†[新译]扫罗立刻全身仆倒在地上，他因撒母耳的话，非常惧怕，又因为他已经一日一夜没有吃饭，所以一点气力也没有。

†[Kjv]Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

†[Nkjv]Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, and was dreadfully afraid because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day or all night.

†[BBE]Then Saul went down flat on the earth, and was full of fear because of Samuel's words: and there was no strength in him, for he had taken no food all that day or all that night.

†[GNT] At once Saul fell down and lay stretched out on the ground, terrified by what Samuel had said. He was weak, because he had not eaten anything all day and all night.

†[NIV]Immediately Saul fell full length on the ground, filled with fear because of Samuel's words. His strength was gone, for he had eaten nothing all that day and night.

本会注释　　猛然。直译是“加速”。这个行动是很自然的，意味着他在听到这个可怕的消息后很快就摊倒了。
　　挺身。直译是“他全部身躯”。身体的过度紧张和精神上的焦虑，最后再加上他迫近的失败与死亡的可怖消息，使他身心交瘁，身体支撑不住了。

撒上28:21 妇人到扫罗面前，见他极其惊恐，对他说：“婢女听从你的话，不顾惜自己的性命，遵从你所吩咐的。 (串)士12:3撒上19:5

†[Kjv]But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.

†[Nkjv]But he refused and said, "I will not eat." So his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he heeded their voice. Then he arose from the ground and sat on the bed.

本会注释　　他们起身走了。扫罗象犹大一样，走进黑夜中了。留下灵媒自己。她无疑也与王一样心烦意乱。扫罗在对待大卫的事上犯了两面三刀和背信弃义的罪。她怎么知道自己不会为那晚发生的事付出生命的代价呢？扫罗病的太厉害了，以致对她的服务都没有说任何感激的话。她并没有祈祷和信心的安慰。她是一种权势的奴隶，那种权势会随意嘲弄她象嘲弄那位国王一样。
