2 Chronicles 历代志下  （回目录）
1:1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly. 1:2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, the chief of the fathers. 1:3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the tabernacle of the congregation of God, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

1:4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem. 1:5 Moreover the brasen altar, that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, he put before the tabernacle of the LORD: and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it. 1:6 And Solomon went up thither to the brasen altar before the LORD, which was at the tabernacle of the congregation, and offered a thousand burnt offerings upon it. 1:7 In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee. 1:8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead. 1:9 Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude. 1:10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great? 1:11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king: 1:12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like. 1:13 Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel. 1:14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 1:15 And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance. 1:16 And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price. 1:17 And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.

1:1 大卫的儿子所罗门国位坚固。耶和华他的神与他同在，使他甚为尊大。 1:2 所罗门吩咐以色列众人，就是千夫长，百夫长，审判官，首领与族长都来。 1:3 所罗门和会众都往基遍的邱坛去，因那里有神的会幕，就是耶和华仆人摩西在旷野所制造的。 1:4 只是神的约柜，大卫已经从基列耶琳搬到他所预备的地方，因他曾在耶路撒冷为约柜支搭了帐幕， 1:5 并且户珥的孙子，乌利的儿子比撒列所造的铜坛也在基遍耶和华的会幕前。所罗门和会众都就近坛前。 1:6 所罗门上到耶和华面前会幕的铜坛那里，献一千牺牲为燔祭。 1:7 当夜，神向所罗门显现，对他说，你愿我赐你什么，你可以求。 1:8 所罗门对神说，你曾向我父大卫大施慈爱，使我接续他作王。 1:9 耶和华神阿，现在求你成就向我父大卫所应许的话。因你立我作这民的王，他们如同地上尘沙那样多。 1:10 求你赐我智慧聪明，我好在这民前出入。不然，谁能判断这众多的民呢。 1:11 神对所罗门说，我已立你作我民的王。你既有这心意，并不求资财，丰富，尊荣，也不求灭绝那恨你之人的性命，又不求大寿数，只求智慧聪明好判断我的民。 1:12 我必赐你智慧聪明，也必赐你资财，丰富，尊荣。在你以前的列王都没有这样，在你以后也必没有这样的。 1:13 于是，所罗门从基遍邱坛会幕前回到耶路撒冷，治理以色列人。 1:14 所罗门聚集战车马兵，有战车一千四百辆，马兵一万二千名，安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那里。 1:15 王在耶路撒冷使金银多如石头，香柏木多如高原的桑树。 1:16 所罗门的马是从埃及带来的，是王的商人一群一群按着定价买来的。 1:17 他们从埃及买来的车，每辆价银七百舍客勒，马每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人诸王和亚兰诸王所买的车马，也是按这价值经他们手买来的。

2:1 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom. 2:2 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them. 2:3 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me. 2:4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel. 2:5 And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods. 2:6 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him? 2:7 Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide. 2:8 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants, 2:9 Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great. 2:10 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil. 2:11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the LORD hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them. 2:12 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the LORD, and an house for his kingdom. 2:13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's, 2:14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father. 2:15 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants: 2:16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem. 2:17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred. 2:18 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.

2:1 所罗门定意要为耶和华的名建造殿宇，又为自己的国建造宫室。 2:2 所罗门就挑选七万扛抬的，八万在山上凿石头的，三千六百督工的。 2:3 所罗门差人去见推罗王希兰，说，你曾运香柏木与我父大卫建宫居住，求你也这样待我。 2:4 我要为耶和华我神的名建造殿宇，分别为圣献给他，在他面前焚烧美香，常摆陈设饼，每早晚，安息日，月朔，并耶和华我们神所定的节期献燔祭。这是以色列人永远的定例。 2:5 我所要建造的殿宇甚大。因为我们的神至大，超乎诸神。 2:6 天和天上的天，尚且不足他居住的，谁能为他建造殿宇呢。我是谁。能为他建造殿宇麽。不过在他面前烧香而已。 2:7 现在求你差一个巧匠来，就是善用金，银，铜，铁，和紫色，朱红色，蓝色线，并精于雕刻之工的巧匠，与我父大卫在犹大和耶路撒冷所预备的巧匠一同作工。 2:8 又求你从利巴嫩运些香柏木，松木，檀香木到我这里来，因我知道你的仆人善于砍伐利巴嫩的树木。我的仆人也必与你的仆人同工。 2:9 这样，可以给我预备许多的木料，因我要建造的殿宇高大出奇。 2:10 你的仆人砍伐树木，我必给他们打好了的小麦二万歌珥，大麦二万歌珥，酒二万吧特，油二万吧特。 2:11 推罗王希兰写信回答所罗门说，耶和华因为爱他的子民，所以立你作他们的王。 2:12 又说，创造天地的耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的。他赐给大卫王一个有智慧的儿子，使他有谋略聪明，可以为耶和华建造殿宇，又为自己的国建造宫室。 2:13 现在我打发一个精巧有聪明的人去，他是我父亲希兰所用的， 2:14 是但支派一个妇人的儿子。他父亲是推罗人，他善用金，银，铜，铁，石，木，和紫色，蓝色，朱红色线与细麻制造各物，并精于雕刻，又能想出各样的巧工。请你派定这人，与你的巧匠和你父，我主大卫的巧匠一同做工。 2:15 我主所说的小麦，大麦，酒，油，愿我主运来给众仆人。 2:16 我们必照你所需用的，从利巴嫩砍伐树木，扎成筏子，浮海运到约帕。你可以从那里运到耶路撒冷。 2:17 所罗门仿照他父大卫数点住在以色列地所有寄居的外邦人，共有十五万三千六百名。 2:18 使七万人扛抬材料，八万人在山上凿石头，三千六百人督理工作。

3:1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. 3:2 And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign. 3:3 Now these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the first measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 3:4 And the porch that was in the front of the house, the length of it was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred and twenty: and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 3:5 And the greater house he cieled with fir tree, which he overlaid with fine gold, and set thereon palm trees and chains. 3:6 And he garnished the house with precious stones for beauty: and the gold was gold of Parvaim. 3:7 He overlaid also the house, the beams, the posts, and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold; and graved cherubims on the walls. 3:8 And he made the most holy house, the length whereof was according to the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits: and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents. 3:9 And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold. 3:10 And in the most holy house he made two cherubims of image work, and overlaid them with gold. 3:11 And the wings of the cherubims were twenty cubits long: one wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub. 3:12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house: and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub. 3:13 The wings of these cherubims spread themselves forth twenty cubits: and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward. 3:14 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon. 3:15 Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 3:16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made an hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 3:17 And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

3:1 所罗门就在耶路撒冷，耶和华向他父大卫显现的摩利亚山上，就是耶布斯人阿珥楠的禾场上，大卫所指定的地方预备好了，开工建造耶和华的殿。 3:2 所罗门作王第四年二月初二日开工建造。 3:3 所罗门建筑神殿的根基，乃是这样，长六十肘，宽二十肘，都按着古时的尺寸。 3:4 殿前的廊子长二十肘，与殿的宽窄一样，高一百二十肘。里面贴上精金。 3:5 大殿的墙都用松木板遮蔽，又贴了精金，上面雕刻棕树和链子。 3:6 又用宝石装饰殿墙，使殿华美。所用的金子都是巴瓦音的金子。 3:7 又用金子贴殿和殿的楝梁，门槛，墙壁，门扇。墙上雕刻基路伯。 3:8 又建造至圣所，长二十肘，与殿的宽窄一样，宽也是二十肘。贴上精金，共用金子六百他连得。 3:9 金钉重五十舍客勒。楼房都贴上金子。 3:10 在至圣所按造像的法子造两个基路伯，用金子包裹。 3:11 两个基路伯的翅膀共长二十肘。这基路伯的一个翅膀长五肘，挨着殿这边的墙。那一个翅膀也长五肘，与那基路伯翅膀相接。 3:12 那基路伯的一个翅膀长五肘，挨着殿那边的墙。那一个翅膀也长五肘，与这基路伯的翅膀相接。 3:13 两个基路伯张开翅膀，共长二十肘，面向外殿而立。 3:14 又用蓝色，紫色，朱红色线和细麻织幔子，在其上绣出基路伯来。 3:15 在殿前造了两根柱子，高三十五肘。每柱顶高五肘。 3:16 又照圣所内链子的样式作链子，安在柱顶上。又作一百石榴，安在链子上。 3:17 将两根柱子立在殿前，一根在右边，一根在左边。右边的起名叫雅斤，左边的起名叫波阿斯。

4:1 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof. 4:2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 4:3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast. 4:4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 4:5 And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths. 4:6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. 4:7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 4:8 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold. 4:9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass. 4:10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south. 4:11 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God; 4:12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars; 4:13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars. 4:14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases; 4:15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 4:16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass. 4:17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah. 4:18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out. 4:19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set; 4:20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold; 4:21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold; 4:22 And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.

4:1 他又制造一座铜坛，长二十肘，宽二十肘，高十肘。 4:2 又铸一个铜海，样式是圆的，高五肘，径十肘，围三十肘。 4:3 海周围有野瓜（野瓜原文作牛）的样式，每肘十瓜，共有两行，是铸海的时候铸上的。 4:4 有十二只铜牛驮海，三只向北，三只向西，三只向南，三只向东。海在牛上，牛尾向内。 4:5 海厚一掌，边如杯边，又如百合花，可容三千吧特。 4:6 又制造十个盆，五个放在右边，五个放在左边，献燔祭所用之物都洗在其内。但海是为祭司沭浴的。 4:7 他又照所定的样式造十个金灯台放在殿里，五个在右边，五个在左边。 4:8 又造十张桌子放在殿里，五张在右边，五张在左边。又造一百个金碗。 4:9 又建立祭司院和大院，并院门，用铜包裹门扇。 4:10 将海安在殿门的右边，就是南边。 4:11 户兰又造了盆，铲，碗。这样，他为所罗门王作完了神殿的工。 4:12 所造的就是两根柱子和柱上两个如球的顶，并两个盖柱顶的网子， 4:13 和四百石榴，安在两个网子上，每网两行盖着两个柱上如球的顶。 4:14 盆座和其上的盆， 4:15 海和海下的十二只牛， 4:16 盆，铲子，肉锸子，与耶和华殿里的一切器皿，都是巧匠户兰用光亮的铜为所罗门王造成的， 4:17 是在约旦平原疏割和撒利但中间藉胶泥铸成的。 4:18 所罗门制造的这一切甚多，铜的轻重无法可查。 4:19 所罗门又造神殿里的金坛和陈设饼的桌子， 4:20 并精金的灯台和灯盏，可以照例点在内殿前。 4:21 灯台上的花和灯盏，并腊剪都是金的，且是纯金的。 4:22 又用精金制造镊子，盘子，调羹，火鼎。至于殿门和至圣所的门扇，并殿的门扇，都是金子妆饰的。

5:1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God. 5:2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion. 5:3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month. 5:4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark. 5:5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up. 5:6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude. 5:7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims: 5:8 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above. 5:9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day. 5:10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 5:11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course: 5:12 Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:) 5:13 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD; 5:14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

5:1 所罗门作完了耶和华殿的一切工，就把他父大卫分别为圣的金银和器皿都带来，放在神殿的府库里。 5:2 那时，所罗门将以色列的长老，各支派的首领，并以色列的族长招聚到耶路撒冷，要把耶和华的约柜从大卫城就是锡安运上来。 5:3 于是以色列众人在七月节前都聚集到王那里。 5:4 以色列众长老来到，利未人便抬起约柜。 5:5 祭司利未人将约柜运上来，又将会幕和会幕的一切圣器具都带上来。 5:6 所罗门王和聚集到他那里的以色列全会众都在约柜前献牛羊为祭，多得不可胜数。 5:7 祭司将耶和华的约柜抬进内殿，就是至圣所，放在两个基路伯的翅膀底下。 5:8 基路伯张着翅膀在约柜之上，遮掩约柜和抬柜的杠。 5:9 这杠甚长，杠头在内殿前可以看见，在殿外却不能看见，直到如今还在那里。 5:10 约柜里惟有两块石版，就是以色列人出埃及后，耶和华与他们立约的时候，摩西在何烈山所放的。除此以外，并无别物。 5:11 当时，在那里所有的祭司都已自洁，并不分班供职。 5:12 他们出圣所的时候，歌唱的利未人亚萨，希幔，耶杜顿，和他们的众子众弟兄都穿细麻布衣服，站在坛的东边，敲钹，鼓瑟，弹琴，同着他们有一百二十个祭司吹号。 5:13 吹号的，歌唱的都一齐发声，声合为一，赞美感谢耶和华。吹号，敲钹，用各种乐器，扬声赞美耶和华说，耶和华本为善，他的慈爱永远长存。那时，耶和华的殿有云充满， 5:14 甚至祭司不能站立供职，因为耶和华的荣光充满了神的殿。

6:1 Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. 6:2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever. 6:3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood. 6:4 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying, 6:5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel: 6:6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. 6:7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 6:8 But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart: 6:9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name. 6:10 The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel. 6:11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel. 6:12 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands: 6:13 For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven, 6:14 And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts: 6:15 Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day. 6:16 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me. 6:17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David. 6:18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built! 6:19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee: 6:20 That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place. 6:21 Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive. 6:22 If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house; 6:23 Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness. 6:24 And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house; 6:25 Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers. 6:26 When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them; 6:27 Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance. 6:28 If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be: 6:29 Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house: 6:30 Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:) 6:31 That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. 6:32 Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house; 6:33 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name. 6:34 If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name; 6:35 Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. 6:36 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near; 6:37 Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly; 6:38 If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name: 6:39 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee. 6:40 Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 6:41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness. 6:42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.

6:1 那时，所罗门说，耶和华曾说他必住在幽暗之处。 6:2 但我已经建造殿宇作你的居所，为你永远的住处。 6:3 王转脸为以色列会众祝福，以色列会众就都站立。 6:4 所罗门说，耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的。因他亲口向我父大卫所应许的，也亲手成就了。 6:5 他说，自从我领我民出埃及地以来，我未曾在以色列众支派中选择一城建造殿宇为我名的居所，也未曾拣选一人作我民以色列的君。 6:6 但选择耶路撒冷为我名的居所，又拣选大卫治理我民以色列。 6:7 所罗门说，我父大卫曾立意要为耶和华以色列神的名建殿， 6:8 耶和华却对我父大卫说，你立意要为我的名建殿，这意思甚好。 6:9 只是你不可建殿，惟你所生的儿子必为我名建殿。 6:10 现在耶和华成就了他所应许的话，使我接续我父大卫坐以色列的国位，是照耶和华所说的，又为耶和华以色列神的名建造了殿。 6:11 我将约柜安置在其中，柜内有耶和华的约，就是他与以色列人所立的约。 6:12 所罗门当着以色列会众，站在耶和华的坛前，举起手来， 6:13 所罗门曾造一个铜台，长五肘，宽五肘，高三肘，放在院中。就站在台上，当着以色列的会众跪下，向天举手， 6:14 说，耶和华以色列的神阿，天上地下没有神可比你的。你向那尽心行在你面前的仆人守约施慈爱。 6:15 向你仆人我父大卫所应许的话现在应验了。你亲口应许，亲手成就，正如今日一样。 6:16 耶和华以色列的神阿，你所应许你仆人我父大卫的话说，你的子孙若谨慎自己的行为，遵守我的律法，像你在我面前所行的一样，就不断人坐以色列的国位。现在求你应验这话。 6:17 耶和华以色列的神阿，求你成就向你仆人大卫所应许的话。 6:18 神果真与世人同住在地上麽。看哪，天和天上的天尚且不足你居住的，何况我所建的这殿呢。 6:19 惟求耶和华我的神垂顾仆人的祷告祈求，俯听仆人在你面前的祈祷呼吁。 6:20 愿你昼夜看顾这殿，就是你应许立为你名的居所。求你垂听仆人向此处祷告的话。 6:21 你仆人和你民以色列向此处祈祷的时候，求你从天上你的居所垂听，垂听而赦免。 6:22 人若得罪邻舍，有人叫他起誓，他来到这殿，在你的坛前起誓， 6:23 求你从天上垂听，判断你的仆人，定恶人有罪，照他所行的报应在他头上。定义人有理，照他的义赏赐他。 6:24 你的民以色列若得罪你，败在仇敌面前，又回心转意承认你的名，在这殿里向你祈求祷告， 6:25 求你从天上垂听，赦免你民以色列的罪，使他们归回你赐给他们和他们列祖之地。 6:26 你的民因得罪你，你惩罚他们，使天闭塞不下雨，他们若向此处祷告，承认你的名，离开他们的罪， 6:27 求你在天上垂听，赦免你仆人和你民以色列的罪，将当行的善道指教他们，且降雨在你的地，就是你赐给你民为业之地。 6:28 国中若有饥荒，瘟疫，旱风，霉烂，蝗虫，蚂蚱，或有仇敌犯境，围困城邑，无论遭遇什么灾祸疾病， 6:29 你的民以色列，或是众人，或是一人，自觉灾祸甚苦，向这殿举手，无论祈求什么，祷告什么， 6:30 求你从天上你的居所垂听赦免。你是知道人心的，要照各人所行的待他们（惟有你知道世人的心）， 6:31 使他们在你赐给我们列祖之地上一生一世敬畏你，遵行你的道。 6:32 论到不属你民以色列的外邦人，为你的大名和大能的手，并伸出来的膀臂，从远方而来，向这殿祷告， 6:33 求你从天上你的居所垂听，照着外邦人所祈求的而行，使天下万民都认识你的名，敬畏你，像你的民以色列一样，又使他们知道我建造的这殿是称为你名下的。 6:34 你的民若奉你的差遣，无论往何处去与仇敌争战，向你所选择的城与我为你名所建造的殿祷告， 6:35 求你从天上垂听他们的祷告祈求，使他们得胜。 6:36 你的民若得罪你（世上没有不犯罪的人），你向他们发怒，将他们交给仇敌掳到或远或近之地。 6:37 他们若在掳到之地想起罪来，回心转意，恳求你说，我们有罪了，我们悖逆了，我们作恶了。 6:38 他们若在掳到之地尽心尽性归服你，又向自己的地，就是你赐给他们列祖之地和你所选择的城，并我为你名所建造的殿祷告， 6:39 求你从天上你的居所垂听你民的祷告祈求，为他们伸冤，赦免他们的过犯。 6:40 我的神阿，现在求你睁眼看，侧耳听在此处所献的祷告。 6:41 耶和华神阿，求你起来，和你有能力的约柜同入安息之所。耶和华神阿，愿你的祭司披上救恩。愿你的圣民蒙福欢乐。 6:42 耶和华神阿，求你不要厌弃你的受膏者，要记念向你仆人大卫所施的慈爱。

7:1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. 7:2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house. 7:3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 7:4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD. 7:5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 7:6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. 7:7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat. 7:8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt. 7:9 And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days. 7:10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people. 7:11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected. 7:12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 7:13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 7:15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 7:16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 7:17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; 7:18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel. 7:19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; 7:20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. 7:21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house? 7:22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

7:1 所罗门祈祷已毕，就有火从天上降下来，烧尽燔祭和别的祭。耶和华的荣光充满了殿。 7:2 因耶和华的荣光充满了耶和华殿，所以祭司不能进殿。 7:3 那火降下，耶和华的荣光在殿上的时候，以色列众人看见，就在铺石地俯伏叩拜，称谢耶和华说，耶和华本为善，他的慈爱永远长存。 7:4 王和众民在耶和华面前献祭。 7:5 所罗门王用牛二万二千，羊十二万献祭。这样，王和众民为神的殿行奉献之礼。 7:6 祭司侍立，各供其职。利未人也拿着耶和华的乐器，就是大卫王造出来，藉利未人颂赞耶和华的。（他的慈爱永远长存。）祭司在众人面前吹号，以色列人都站立。 7:7 所罗门因他所造的铜坛容不下燔祭，素祭，和脂油，便将耶和华殿前院子当中分别为圣，在那里献燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油。 7:8 那时所罗门和以色列众人，就是从哈马口直到埃及小河，所有的以色列人都聚集成为大会，守节七日。 7:9 第八日设立严肃会，行奉献坛的礼七日，守节七日。 7:10 七月二十三日，王遣散众民。他们因见耶和华向大卫和所罗门与他民以色列所施的恩惠，就都心中喜乐，各归各家去了。 7:11 所罗门造成了耶和华殿和王宫。在耶和华殿和王宫凡他心中所要作的，都顺顺利利地作成了。 7:12 夜间耶和华向所罗门显现，对他说，我已听了你的祷告，也选择这地方作为祭祀我的殿宇。 7:13 我若使天闭塞不下雨，或使蝗虫吃这地的出产，或使瘟疫流行在我民中， 7:14 这称为我名下的子民，若是自卑，祷告，寻求我的面，转离他们的恶行，我必从天上垂听，赦免他们的罪，医治他们的地。 7:15 我必睁眼看，侧耳听在此处所献的祷告。 7:16 现在我已选择这殿，分别为圣，使我的名永在其中，我的眼，我的心也必常在那里。 7:17 你若在我面前效法你父大卫所行的，遵行我一切所吩咐你的，谨守我的律例典章， 7:18 我就必坚固你的国位，正如我与你父大卫所立的约，说，你的子孙必不断人作以色列的王。 7:19 倘若你们转去丢弃我指示你们的律例诫命，去事奉敬拜别神， 7:20 我就必将以色列人从我赐给他们的地上拔出根来，并且我为己名所分别为圣的殿也必舍弃不顾，使他在万民中作笑谈，被讥诮。 7:21 这殿虽然甚高，将来经过的人必惊讶说，耶和华为何向这地和这殿如此行呢。 7:22 人必回答说，是因此地的人离弃耶和华他们列祖的神，就是领他们出埃及地的神，去亲近别神，敬拜事奉他，所以耶和华使这一切灾祸临到他们。

8:1 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house, 8:2 That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there. 8:3 And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it. 8:4 And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath. 8:5 Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars; 8:6 And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion. 8:7 As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, 8:8 But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day. 8:9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen. 8:10 And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people. 8:11 And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come. 8:12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch, 8:13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. 8:14 And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded. 8:15 And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures. 8:16 Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected. 8:17 Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom. 8:18 And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.

8:1 所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫，二十年才完毕了。 8:2 以后所罗门重新修筑希兰送给他的那些城邑，使以色列人住在那里。 8:3 所罗门往哈马琐巴去，攻取了那地方。 8:4 所罗门建造旷野里的达莫，又建造哈马所有的积货城， 8:5 又建造上伯和仑，下伯和仑作为保障，都有墙，有门，有闩。 8:6 又建造巴拉和所有的积货城，并屯车辆马兵的城，与耶路撒冷，利巴嫩，以及自己治理的全国中所愿意建造的。 8:7 至于国中所剩下不属以色列人的赫人，亚摩利人，比利洗人，希未人，耶布斯人， 8:8 就是以色列人未曾灭绝的，所罗门挑取他们的后裔作服苦的奴仆，直到今日。 8:9 惟有以色列人，所罗门不使他们当奴仆作工，乃是作他的战士，军长的统领，车兵长，马兵长。 8:10 所罗门王有二百五十督工的，监管工人。 8:11 所罗门将法老的女儿带出大卫城，上到为她建造的宫里。因所罗门说，耶和华约柜所到之处都为圣地，所以我的妻不可住在以色列王大卫的宫里。 8:12 所罗门在耶和华的坛上，就是在廊子前他所筑的坛上，与耶和华献燔祭。 8:13 又遵着摩西的吩咐在安息日，月朔，并一年三节，就是除酵节，七七节，住棚节，献每日所当献的祭。 8:14 所罗门照着他父大卫所定的例，派定祭司的班次，使他们各供己事，又使利未人各尽其职，赞美耶和华，在祭司面前作每日所当作的。又派守门的按着班次看守各门，因为神人大卫是这样吩咐的。 8:15 王所吩咐众祭司和利未人的，无论是管府库或办别的事，他们都不违背。 8:16 所罗门建造耶和华的殿，从立根基直到成功的日子，工料俱备。这样，耶和华的殿全然完毕。 8:17 那时，所罗门往以东地靠海的以旬迦别和以禄去。 8:18 希兰差遣他的臣仆，将船只和熟悉泛海的仆人送到所罗门那里。他们同着所罗门的仆人到了俄斐，得了四百五十他连得金子，运到所罗门王那里。

9:1 And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. 9:2 And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not. 9:3 And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built, 9:4 And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her. 9:5 And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom: 9:6 Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard. 9:7 Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom. 9:8 Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice. 9:9 And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon. 9:10 And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones. 9:11 And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah. 9:12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants. 9:13 Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold; 9:14 Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon. 9:15 And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target. 9:16 And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 9:17 Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 9:18 And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays: 9:19 And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom. 9:20 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon. 9:21 For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 9:22 And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 9:23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart. 9:24 And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year. 9:25 And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem. 9:26 And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt. 9:27 And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the low plains in abundance. 9:28 And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands. 9:29 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat? 9:30 And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 9:31 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

9:1 示巴女王听见所罗门的名声，就来到耶路撒冷，要用难解的话试问所罗门。跟随她的人甚多，又有骆驼驮着香料，宝石，和许多金子。她来见了所罗门，就把心里所有的对所罗门都说出来。 9:2 所罗门将她所问的都答上了，没有一句不明白，不能答的。 9:3 示巴女王见所罗门的智慧和他所建造的宫室， 9:4 席上的珍馐美味，群臣分列而坐，仆人两旁侍立，以及他们的衣服装饰，酒政，和酒政的衣服装饰，又见他上耶和华殿的台阶，就诧异得神不守舍， 9:5 对王说，我在本国里所听见论到你的事和你的智慧实在是真的。 9:6 我先不信那些话，及至我来亲眼见了，才知道你的大智慧。人所告诉我的，还不到一半。你的实迹越过我所听见的名声。 9:7 你的群臣，你的仆人常侍立在你面前听你智慧的话是有福的。 9:8 耶和华你的神是应当称颂的。他喜悦你，使你坐他的国位，为耶和华你的神作王。因为你的神爱以色列人，要永远坚立他们，所以立你作他们的王，使你秉公行义。 9:9 于是示巴女王将一百二十他连得金子和宝石，与极多的香料送给所罗门王。她送给王的香料，以后再没有这样的。 9:10 希兰的仆人和所罗门的仆人从俄斐运了金子来，也运了檀香木（或作乌木。下同）和宝石来。 9:11 王用檀香木为耶和华殿和王宫作台，又为歌唱的人作琴瑟。犹大地从来没有见过这样的。 9:12 所罗门王按示巴女王所带来的，还她礼物，另外照她一切所要所求的，都送给她。于是女王和她臣仆转回本国去了。 9:13 所罗门每年所得的金子共有六百六十六他连得， 9:14 另外还有商人所进的金子，并且阿拉伯诸王与属国的省长都带金银给所罗门。 9:15 所罗门王用锤出来的金子打成挡牌二百面，每面用金子六百舍客勒。 9:16 又用锤出来的金子打成盾牌三百面，每面用金子三百舍客勒，都放在利巴嫩林宫里。 9:17 王用象牙制造一个大宝座，用精金包裹。 9:18 宝座有六层台阶，又有金脚凳，与宝座相连。宝座两旁有扶手，靠近扶手有两个狮子站立。 9:19 六层台阶上有十二个狮子站立，每层有两个，左边一个，右边一个。在列国中没有这样作的。 9:20 所罗门王一切的饮器都是金的，利巴嫩林宫里的一切器皿都是精金的。所罗门年间，银子算不了什么。 9:21 因为王的船只与希兰的仆人一同往他施去。他施船只三年一次装载金，银，象牙，猿猴，孔雀回来。 9:22 所罗门王的财宝与智慧胜过天下的列王。 9:23 普天下的王都求见所罗门，要听神赐给他智慧的话。 9:24 他们各带贡物，就是金器，银器，衣服，军械，香料，骡马，每年有一定之例。 9:25 所罗门有套车的马四千棚，有马兵一万二千，安置在屯车的城邑和耶路撒冷，就是王那里。 9:26 所罗门统管诸王，从大河到非利士地，直到埃及的边界。 9:27 王在耶路撒冷使银子多如石头，香柏木多如高原的桑树。 9:28 有人从埃及和各国为所罗门赶马群来。 9:29 所罗门其馀的事，自始至终，不都写在先知拿单的书上和示罗人亚希雅的预言书上，并先见易多论尼八儿子耶罗波安的默示书上麽。 9:30 所罗门在耶路撒冷作以色列众人的王共四十年。 9:31 所罗门与他列祖同睡，葬在他父大卫城里。他儿子罗波安接续他作王。

10:1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king. 10:2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt. 10:3 And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying, 10:4 Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee. 10:5 And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed. 10:6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people? 10:7 And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever. 10:8 But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him. 10:9 And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us? 10:10 And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins. 10:11 For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 10:12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day. 10:13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men, 10:14 And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. 10:15 So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 10:16 And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents. 10:17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 10:18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem. 10:19 And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

10:1 罗波安往示剑去，因为以色列人都到了示剑，要立他作王。 10:2 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，就从埃及回来。 10:3 以色列人打发人去请他，他就和以色列众人来见罗波安，对他说， 10:4 你父亲使我们负重轭作苦工，现在求你使我们作的苦工负的重轭轻松些，我们就事奉你。 10:5 罗波安对他们说，第三日再来见我吧。民就去了。 10:6 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，我好回覆这民。 10:7 老年人对他说，王若恩待这民，使他们喜悦，用好话回覆他们，他们就永远作王的仆人。 10:8 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， 10:9 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，我好回覆他们。 10:10 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，我的小拇指比我父亲的腰还粗。 10:11 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。 10:12 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。 10:13 罗波安王用严厉的话回覆他们，不用老年人所出的主意， 10:14 照着少年人所出的主意对他们说，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。 10:15 王不肯依从百姓。这事乃出于神，为要应验耶和华藉示罗人亚希雅对尼八儿子耶罗波安所说的话。 10:16 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。大卫家阿，自己顾自己吧。于是，以色列众人都回自己家里去了。 10:17 惟独住在犹大城邑的以色列人，罗波安仍作他们的王。 10:18 罗波安王差遣掌管服苦之人的哈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。 10:19 这样，以色列人背叛大卫家，直到今日。

11:1 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam. 11:2 But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 11:3 Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 11:4 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam. 11:5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah. 11:6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, 11:7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam, 11:8 And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, 11:9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, 11:10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities. 11:11 And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine. 11:12 And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side. 11:13 And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts. 11:14 For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD: 11:15 And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made. 11:16 And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers. 11:17 So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon. 11:18 And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse; 11:19 Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham. 11:20 And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith. 11:21 And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.) 11:22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king. 11:23 And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.

11:1 罗波安来到耶路撒冷，招聚犹大家和便雅悯家，共十八万人，都是挑选的战士，要与以色列人争战，好将国夺回再归自己。 11:2 但耶和华的话临到神人示玛雅说， 11:3 你去告诉所罗门的儿子犹大王罗波安和住犹大，便雅悯的以色列众人说， 11:4 耶和华如此说，你们不可上去与你们的弟兄争战，各归各家去吧。因为这事出于我。众人就听从耶和华的话归回，不去与耶罗波安争战。 11:5 罗波安住在耶路撒冷，在犹大地修筑城邑， 11:6 为保障修筑伯利恒，以坦，提哥亚， 11:7 伯夙，梭哥，亚杜兰， 11:8 迦特，玛利沙，西弗， 11:9 亚多莱音，拉吉，亚西加， 11:10 琐拉，亚雅仑，希伯仑。这都是犹大和便雅悯的坚固城。 11:11 罗波安又坚固各处的保障，在其中安置军长，又预备下粮食，油，酒。 11:12 他在各城里预备盾牌和枪，且使城极其坚固。犹大和便雅悯都归了他。 11:13 以色列全地的祭司和利未人都从四方来归罗波安。 11:14 利未人撇下他们的郊野和产业，来到犹大与耶路撒冷，是因耶罗波安和他的儿子拒绝他们，不许他们供祭司职分事奉耶和华。 11:15 耶罗波安为邱坛，为鬼魔（原文作公山羊），为自己所铸造的牛犊设立祭司。 11:16 以色列各支派中，凡立定心意寻求耶和华以色列神的，都随从利未人，来到耶路撒冷祭祀耶和华他们列祖的神。 11:17 这样，就坚固犹大国，使所罗门的儿子罗波安强盛三年，因为他们三年遵行大卫和所罗门的道。 11:18 罗波安娶大卫儿子耶利摩的女儿玛哈拉为妻，又娶耶西儿子以利押的女儿亚比孩为妻。 11:19 从她生了几个儿子，就是耶乌施，示玛利雅，撒罕。 11:20 后来又娶押沙龙的女儿玛迦（十三章二节作乌列的女儿米该雅），从她生了亚比雅，亚太，细撒，示罗密。 11:21 罗波安娶十八个妻，立六十个妾，生二十八个儿子，六十个女儿。他却爱押沙龙的女儿玛迦，比爱别的妻妾更甚。 11:22 罗波安立玛迦的儿子亚比雅作太子，在他弟兄中为首，因为想要立他接续作王。 11:23 罗波安办事精明，使他众子分散在犹大和便雅悯全地各坚固城里，又赐他们许多粮食，为他们多寻妻子。

12:1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him. 12:2 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD, 12:3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. 12:4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem. 12:5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak. 12:6 Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous. 12:7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak. 12:8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries. 12:9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made. 12:10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house. 12:11 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber. 12:12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well. 12:13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. 12:14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD. 12:15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 12:16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

12:1 罗波安的国坚立，他强盛的时候就离弃耶和华的律法，以色列人也都随从他。 12:2 罗波安王第五年，埃及王示撒上来攻打耶路撒冷，因为王和民得罪了耶和华。 12:3 示撒带战车一千二百辆，马兵六万，并且跟从他出埃及的路比人，苏基人，和古实人，多得不可胜数。 12:4 他攻取了犹大的坚固城，就来到耶路撒冷。 12:5 那时，犹大的首领因为示撒就聚集在耶路撒冷。有先知示玛雅去见罗波安和众首领，对他们说，耶和华如此说，你们离弃了我，所以我使你们落在示撒手里。 12:6 于是王和以色列的众首领都自卑说，耶和华是公义的。 12:7 耶和华见他们自卑，耶和华的话就临到示玛雅说，他们既自卑，我必不灭绝他们。必使他们略得拯救，我不藉着示撒的手将我的怒气倒在耶路撒冷。 12:8 然而他们必作示撒的仆人，好叫他们知道，服事我与服事外邦人有何分别。 12:9 于是，埃及王示撒上来攻取耶路撒冷，夺了耶和华殿和王宫里的宝物，尽都带走，又夺去所罗门制造的金盾牌。 12:10 罗波安王制造铜盾牌代替那金盾牌，交给守王宫门的护卫长看守。 12:11 王每逢进耶和华的殿，护卫兵就拿这盾牌，随后仍将盾牌送回，放在护卫房。 12:12 王自卑的时候，耶和华的怒气就转消了，不将他灭尽，并且在犹大中间也有善益的事。 12:13 罗波安王自强，在耶路撒冷作王。他登基的时候年四十一岁，在耶路撒冷，就是耶和华从以色列众支派中所选择立他名的城，作王十七年。罗波安的母亲名叫拿玛，是亚扪人。 12:14 罗波安行恶，因他不立定心意寻求耶和华。 12:15 罗波安所行的事，自始至终不都写在先知示玛雅和先见易多的史记上麽。罗波安与耶罗波安时常争战。 12:16 罗波安与他列祖同睡，葬在大卫城里。他儿子亚比雅接续他作王。

13:1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah. 13:2 He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam. 13:3 And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour. 13:4 And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; 13:5 Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? 13:6 Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord. 13:7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them. 13:8 And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods. 13:9 Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods. 13:10 But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business: 13:11 And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him. 13:12 And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper. 13:13 But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them. 13:14 And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets. 13:15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 13:16 And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand. 13:17 And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men. 13:18 Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers. 13:19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof. 13:20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died. 13:21 But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters. 13:22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

13:1 耶罗波安王十八年，亚比雅登基作犹大王， 13:2 在耶路撒冷作王三年。他母亲名叫米该亚（又作玛迦），是基比亚人乌列的女儿。亚比雅常与耶罗波安争战。 13:3 有一次亚比雅率领挑选的兵四十万摆阵，都是勇敢的战士。耶罗波安也挑选大能的勇士八十万，对亚比雅摆阵。 13:4 亚比雅站在以法莲山地中的洗玛脸山上，说，耶罗波安和以色列众人哪，要听我说。 13:5 耶和华以色列的神曾立盐约（盐即不废坏的意思），将以色列国永远赐给大卫和他的子孙，你们不知道麽。 13:6 无奈大卫儿子所罗门的臣仆，尼八儿子耶罗波安起来背叛他的主人。 13:7 有些无赖的匪徒聚集跟从他，逞强攻击所罗门的儿子罗波安。那时罗波安还幼弱，不能抵挡他们。 13:8 现在你们有意抗拒大卫子孙手下所治耶和华的国，你们的人也甚多，你们那里又有耶罗波安为你们所造当作神的金牛犊。 13:9 你们不是驱逐耶和华的祭司亚伦的后裔和利未人麽。不是照着外邦人的恶俗为自己立祭司麽。无论何人牵一只公牛犊，七只公绵羊将自己分别出来，就可作虚无之神的祭司。 13:10 至于我们，耶和华是我们的神，我们并没有离弃他。我们有事奉耶和华的祭司，都是亚伦的后裔，并有利未人各尽其职， 13:11 每日早晚向耶和华献燔祭，烧美香，又在精金的桌子上摆陈设饼。又有金灯台和灯盏，每晚点起，因为我们遵守耶和华我们神的命。惟有你们离弃了他。 13:12 率领我们的是神，我们这里也有神的祭司拿号向你们吹出大声。以色列人哪，不要与耶和华你们列祖的神争战，因你们必不能亨通。 13:13 耶罗波安却在犹大人的后头设伏兵。这样，以色列人在犹大人的前头，伏兵在犹大人的后头。 13:14 犹大人回头观看，见前后都有敌兵，就呼求耶和华，祭司也吹号。 13:15 于是犹大人呐喊。犹大人呐喊的时候，神就使耶罗波安和以色列众人败在亚比雅与犹大人面前。 13:16 以色列人在犹大人面前逃跑，神将他们交在犹大人手里。 13:17 亚比雅和他的军兵大大杀戮以色列人，以色列人仆倒死亡的精兵有五十万。 13:18 那时，以色列人被制伏了，犹大人得胜，是因倚靠耶和华他们列祖的神。 13:19 亚比雅追赶耶罗波安，攻取了他的几座城，就是伯特利和属伯特利的镇市，耶沙拿和属耶沙拿的镇市，以法拉音（或作以弗伦）和属以法拉音的镇市。 13:20 亚比雅在世的时候，耶罗波安不能再强盛。耶和华攻击他，他就死了。 13:21 亚比雅却渐渐强盛，娶妻妾十四个，生了二十二个儿子，十六个女儿。 13:22 亚比雅其馀的事和他的言行都写在先知易多的传上。

14:1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years. 14:2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God: 14:3 For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves: 14:4 And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. 14:5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him. 14:6 And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest. 14:7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered. 14:8 And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour. 14:9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah. 14:10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 14:11 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. 14:12 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. 14:13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil. 14:14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them. 14:15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.

14:1 亚比雅与他列祖同睡，葬在大卫城里。他儿子亚撒接续他作王。亚撒年间，国中太平十年。 14:2 亚撒行耶和华他神眼中看为善为正的事， 14:3 除掉外邦神的坛和邱坛，打碎柱像，砍下木偶， 14:4 吩咐犹大人寻求耶和华他们列祖的神，遵行他的律法，诫命。 14:5 又在犹大各城邑除掉邱坛和日像，那时国享太平。 14:6 又在犹大建造了几座坚固城。国中太平数年，没有战争，因为耶和华赐他平安。 14:7 他对犹大人说，我们要建造这些城邑，四围筑墙，盖楼，安门，作闩。地还属我们，是因寻求耶和华我们的神。我们既寻求他，他就赐我们四境平安。于是建造城邑，诸事亨通。 14:8 亚撒的军兵，出自犹大拿盾牌拿枪的三十万人。出自便雅悯拿盾牌拉弓的二十八万人。这都是大能的勇士。 14:9 有古实王谢拉率领军兵一百万，战车三百辆，出来攻击犹大人，到了玛利沙。 14:10 于是亚撒出去与他迎敌，就在玛利沙的洗法谷彼此摆阵。 14:11 亚撒呼求耶和华他的神说，耶和华阿，惟有你能帮助软弱的，胜过强盛的。耶和华我们的神阿，求你帮助我们。因为我们仰赖你，奉你的名来攻击这大军。耶和华阿，你是我们的神，不要容人胜过你。 14:12 于是耶和华使古实人败在亚撒和犹大人面前，古实人就逃跑了。 14:13 亚撒和跟随他的军兵追赶他们，直到基拉耳。古实人被杀的甚多，不能再强盛，因为败在耶和华与他军兵面前。犹大人就夺了许多财物， 14:14 又打破基拉耳四围的城邑。耶和华使其中的人都甚恐惧。犹大人又将所有的城掳掠一空，因其中的财物甚多， 14:15 又毁坏了群畜的圈，夺取许多的羊和骆驼，就回耶路撒冷去了。

15:1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: 15:2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. 15:3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. 15:4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. 15:5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. 15:6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity. 15:7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded. 15:8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD. 15:9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him. 15:10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. 15:11 And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 15:12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; 15:13 That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. 15:14 And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. 15:15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about. 15:16 And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. 15:17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. 15:18 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels. 15:19 And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.

15:1 神的灵感动俄德的儿子亚撒利雅。 15:2 他出来迎接亚撒，对他说，亚撒和犹大，便雅悯众人哪，要听我说，你们若顺从耶和华，耶和华必与你们同在。你们若寻求他，就必寻见。你们若离弃他，他必离弃你们。 15:3 以色列人不信真神，没有训诲的祭司，也没有律法，已经好久了。 15:4 但他们在急难的时候归向耶和华以色列的神，寻求他，他就被他们寻见。 15:5 那时，出入的人不得平安，列国的居民都遭大乱。 15:6 这国攻击那国，这城攻击那城，互相破坏，因为神用各样灾难扰乱他们。 15:7 现在你们要刚强，不要手软，因你们所行的必得赏赐。 15:8 亚撒听见这话和俄德儿子先知亚撒利雅的预言，就壮起胆来，在犹大，便雅悯全地，并以法莲山地所夺的各城，将可憎之物尽都除掉，又在耶和华殿的廊前重新修筑耶和华的坛。 15:9 又招聚犹大，便雅悯的众人，并他们中间寄居的以法莲人，玛拿西人，西缅人。有许多以色列人归降亚撒，因见耶和华他的神与他同在。 15:10 亚撒十五年三月，他们都聚集在耶路撒冷。 15:11 当日他们从所取的掳物中，将牛七百只，羊七千只献给耶和华。 15:12 他们就立约，要尽心尽性地寻求耶和华他们列祖的神。 15:13 凡不寻求耶和华以色列神的，无论大小，男女，必被治死。 15:14 他们就大声欢呼，吹号吹角，向耶和华起誓。 15:15 犹大众人为所起的誓欢喜。因他们是尽心起誓，尽意寻求耶和华，耶和华就被他们寻见，且赐他们四境平安。 15:16 亚撒王贬了他祖母玛迦太后的位，因她造了可憎的偶像亚舍拉。亚撒砍下她的偶像，捣得粉碎，烧在汲沦溪边。 15:17 只是邱坛还没有从以色列中废去，然而亚撒的心一生诚实。 15:18 亚撒将他父所分别为圣，与自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿都奉到神的殿里。 15:19 从这时直到亚撒三十五年，都没有争战的事。

16:1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. 16:2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying, 16:3 There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me. 16:4 And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali. 16:5 And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease. 16:6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah. 16:7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. 16:8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand. 16:9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. 16:10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time. 16:11 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 16:12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians. 16:13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign. 16:14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.

16:1 亚撒三十六年，以色列王巴沙上来攻击犹大，修筑拉玛，不许人从犹大王亚撒那里出入。 16:2 于是亚撒从耶和华殿和王宫的府库里拿出金银来，送与住大马色的亚兰王便哈达，说， 16:3 你父曾与我父立约，我与你也要立约。现在我将金银送给你，求你废掉你与以色列王巴沙所立的约，使他离开我。 16:4 便哈达听从亚撒王的话，派军长去攻击以色列的城邑。他们就攻破以云，但，亚伯玛音，和拿弗他利一切的积货城。 16:5 巴沙听见就停工，不修筑拉玛了。 16:6 于是亚撒王率领犹大众人，将巴沙修筑拉玛所用的石头，木头都运去，用以修筑迦巴和米斯巴。 16:7 那时，先见哈拿尼来见犹大王亚撒，对他说，因你仰赖亚兰王，没有仰赖耶和华你的神，所以亚兰王的军兵脱离了你的手。 16:8 古实人，路比人的军队不是甚大麽。战车马兵不是极多麽。只因你仰赖耶和华，他便将他们交在你手里。 16:9 耶和华的眼目遍察全地，要显大能帮助向他心存诚实的人。你这事行得愚昧。此后，你必有争战的事。 16:10 亚撒因此恼恨先见，将他囚在监里。那时亚撒也虐待一些人民。 16:11 亚撒所行的事，自思至终都写在犹大和以色列诸王记上。 16:12 亚撒作王三十九年，他脚上有病，而且甚重。病的时候没有求耶和华，只求医生。 16:13 他作王四十一年而死，与他列祖同睡， 16:14 葬在大卫城自己所凿的坟墓里，放在床上，其床堆满各样馨香的香料，就是按作香的作法调和的香料，又为他烧了许多的物件。

17:1 And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead, and strengthened himself against Israel. 17:2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken. 17:3 And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim; 17:4 But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel. 17:5 Therefore the LORD stablished the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance. 17:6 And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD: moreover he took away the high places and groves out of Judah. 17:7 Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Benhail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah. 17:8 And with them he sent Levites, even Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tobadonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, priests. 17:9 And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people. 17:10 And the fear of the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat. 17:11 Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and tribute silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats. 17:12 And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles, and cities of store. 17:13 And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, were in Jerusalem. 17:14 And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand. 17:15 And next to him was Jehohanan the captain, and with him two hundred and fourscore thousand. 17:16 And next him was Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD; and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour. 17:17 And of Benjamin; Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him armed men with bow and shield two hundred thousand. 17:18 And next him was Jehozabad, and with him an hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for the war. 17:19 These waited on the king, beside those whom the king put in the fenced cities throughout all Judah.

17:1 亚撒的儿子约沙法接续他作王，奋勇自强，防备以色列人， 17:2 安置军兵在犹大一切坚固城里，又安置防兵在犹大地和他父亚撒所得以法莲的城邑中。 17:3 耶和华与约沙法同在。因为他行他祖大卫初行的道，不寻求巴力， 17:4 只寻求他父亲的神，遵行他的诫命，不效法以色列人的行为。 17:5 所以耶和华坚定他的国，犹大众人给他进贡。约沙法大有尊荣资财。 17:6 他高兴遵行耶和华的道，并且从犹大除掉一切邱坛和木偶。 17:7 他作王第三年，就差遣臣子便亥伊勒，俄巴底，撒迦利雅，拿坦业，米该亚往犹大各城去教训百姓。 17:8 同着他们有利未人示玛雅，尼探雅，西巴第雅，亚撒黑，示米拉末，约拿单，亚多尼雅，多比雅，驼巴多尼雅，又有祭司以利沙玛，约兰同着他们。 17:9 他们带着耶和华的律法书，走遍犹大各城教训百姓。 17:10 耶和华使犹大四围的列国都甚恐惧，不敢与约沙法争战。 17:11 有些非利士人与约沙法送礼物，纳贡银。阿拉伯人也送他公绵羊七千七百只，公山羊七千七百只。 17:12 约沙法日渐强大，在犹大建造营寨和积货城。 17:13 他在犹大城邑中有许多工程，又在耶路撒冷有战士，就是大能的勇士。 17:14 他们的数目，按着宗族，记在下面，犹大族的，千夫长押拿为首率领大能的勇士三十万。 17:15 其次是，千夫长约哈难率领大能的勇士二十八万。 17:16 其次是细基利的儿子亚玛斯雅，他为耶和华牺牲自己，率领大能的勇士二十万。 17:17 便雅悯族，是大能的勇士以利雅大率领，拿弓箭和盾牌的二十万。 17:18 其次是，约萨拔率领预备打仗的十八万。 17:19 这都是伺候王的，还有王在犹大全地坚固城所安置的不在其内。

18:1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab. 18:2 And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead. 18:3 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war. 18:4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. 18:5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand. 18:6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him? 18:7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. 18:8 And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla. 18:9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. 18:10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed. 18:11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king. 18:12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good. 18:13 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak. 18:14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand. 18:15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD? 18:16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace. 18:17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil? 18:18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. 18:19 And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner. 18:20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? 18:21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so. 18:22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee. 18:23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee? 18:24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. 18:25 Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son; 18:26 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace. 18:27 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people. 18:28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead. 18:29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle. 18:30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel. 18:31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him. 18:32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him. 18:33 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded. 18:34 And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.

18:1 约沙法大有尊荣资财，就与亚哈结亲。 18:2 过了几年，他下到撒马利亚去见亚哈。亚哈为他和跟从他的人宰了许多牛羊，劝他与自己同去攻取基列的拉末。 18:3 以色列王亚哈问犹大王约沙法说，你肯同我去攻取基列的拉末麽。他回答说，你我不分彼此，我的民与你的民一样，必与你同去争战。 18:4 约沙法对以色列王说，请你先求问耶和华。 18:5 于是以色列王招聚先知四百人，问他们说，我们上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以。他们说，可以上去，因为神必将那城交在王的手里。 18:6 约沙法说，这里不是还有耶和华的先知，我们可以求问他麽。 18:7 以色列王对约沙法说，还有一个人，是音拉的儿子米该雅。我们可以托他求问耶和华，只是我恨他。因为他指着我所说的预言，不说吉语，常说凶言。约沙法说，王不必这样说。 18:8 以色列王就召了一个太监来，说，你快去将音拉的儿子米该雅召来。 18:9 以色列王和犹大王约沙法在撒马利亚城门前的空场上，各穿朝服坐在位上，所有的先知都在他们面前说预言。 18:10 基拿拿的儿子西底家造了两个铁角，说，耶和华如此说，你要用这角抵触亚兰人，直到将他们灭尽。 18:11 所有的先知也都这样预言说，可以上基列的拉末去，必然得胜，因为耶和华必将那城交在王的手中。 18:12 那去召米该雅的使者对米该雅说，众先知一口同音地都向王说吉言，你不如与他们说一样的话，也说吉言。 18:13 米该雅说，我指着永生的耶和华起誓，我的神说什么，我就说什么。 18:14 米该雅到王面前，王问他说，米该雅阿，我们上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以。他说，可以上去，必然得胜，敌人必交在你们手里。 18:15 王对他说，我当嘱咐你几次，你才奉耶和华的名向我说实话呢。 18:16 米该雅说，我看见以色列众民散在山上，如同没有牧人的羊群一般。耶和华说，这民没有主人，他们可以平平安安地各归各家去。 18:17 以色列王对约沙法说，我岂没有告诉你，这人指着我所说的预言，不说吉语，单说凶言麽。 18:18 米该雅说，你们要听耶和华的话。我看见耶和华坐在宝座上，天上的万军侍立在他左右。 18:19 耶和华说，谁去引诱以色列王亚哈上基列的拉末去阵亡呢。这个就这样说，那个就那样说。 18:20 随后，有一个神灵出来，站在耶和华面前说，我去引诱他。耶和华问他说，你用何法呢。 18:21 他说，我去，要在他众先知口中作谎言的灵。耶和华说，这样，你必能引诱他，你去如此行吧。 18:22 现在耶和华使谎言的灵入了你这些先知的口，并且耶和华已经命定降祸与你。 18:23 基拿拿的儿子西底家前来打米该雅的脸，说，耶和华的灵从哪里离开我与你说话呢。 18:24 米该雅说，你进严密的屋子藏躲的那日，就必看见了。 18:25 以色列王说，将米该雅带回，交给邑宰亚们和王的儿子约阿施，说， 18:26 王如此说，把这个人下在监里，使他受苦，吃不饱喝不足，等候我平平安安地回来。 18:27 米该雅说，你若能平安回来，那就是耶和华没有藉我说这话了。又说，众民哪，你们都要听。 18:28 以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了。 18:29 以色列王对约沙法说，我要改装上阵，你可以仍穿王服。于是以色列王改装，他们就上阵去了。 18:30 先是亚兰王吩咐车兵长说，他们的兵将，无论大小，你们都不可与他们争战，只要与以色列王争战。 18:31 车兵长看见约沙法便说，这必是以色列王，就转过去与他争战。约沙法一呼喊，耶和华就帮助他，神又感动他们离开他。 18:32 车兵长见不是以色列王，就转去不追他了。 18:33 有一人随便开弓，恰巧射入以色列王的甲缝里。王对赶车的说，我受了重伤，你转过车来，拉我出阵吧。 18:34 那日阵势越战越猛，以色列王勉强站在车上抵挡亚兰人，直到晚上。约在日落的时候，王就死了。
