1Ki 3:1.
SOLOMON MARRIES PHARAOH'S DAUGHTER.
1. Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh--This was a royal title, equivalent to "sultan," and the personal name of this monarch is said to have been Vaphres. The formation, on equal terms, of this matrimonial alliance with the royal family of Egypt, shows the high consideration to which the Hebrew kingdom had now arisen. Rosellini has given, from the Egyptian monuments, what is supposed to be a portrait of this princess. She was received in the land of her adoption with great eclat; for the Song of Solomon and the forty-fifth Psalm are supposed to have been composed in honor of this occasion, although they may both have a higher typical reference to the introduction of the Gentiles into the church.
and brought her into the city of David--that is, Jerusalem. She was not admissible into the stronghold of Zion, the building where the ark was
(De 23:7, 8).
She seems to have been lodged at first in his mother's apartments
(So 3:4; 8:2),
as a suitable residence was not yet provided for her in the new palace
(1Ki 7:8; 9:24; 2Ch 8:11).
building . . . the wall of Jerusalem round about--Although David had begun
(Ps 51:18),
it was, according to JOSEPHUS, reserved for Solomon to extend and complete the fortifications of the city. It has been questioned whether this marriage was in conformity with the law (see
Ex 34:16; De 7:3; Ezr 10:1-10; Ne 13:26).
But it is nowhere censured in Scripture, as are the connections Solomon formed with other foreigners
(1Ki 11:1-3);
whence it may be inferred that he had stipulated for her abandonment of idolatry, and conforming to the Jewish religion
(Ps 45:10, 11).

3. 所罗门爱耶和华——这句话由下文加以说明,无疑是这位年轻君王敬虔的确据;而句首的「只是」一词,也不当理解为引入某种程度的责备。圣史的本意,是要描述圣殿建成之前普遍流行的敬拜方式。
邱坛是建立在天然或人工高地上的祭坛,大概出于认为人能借此更接近神明之意。先祖曾使用过,后来在异教中又变得极为普遍,几乎与拜偶像混为一谈。律法中禁止使用
(Le 17:3, 4; De 12:13, 14; Jer 7:31; Eze 6:3, 4; Ho 10:8)。
但只要会幕仍在迁徙,全国性的敬拜设施仍是临时性的,这些邱坛上的敬拜便被容忍。因此,为解释邱坛之所以存续,经上明说
(1Ki 3:2)
神尚未选定一个固定而专一的敬拜之所。

3. And Solomon loved the Lord--This declaration, illustrated by what follows, affords undoubted evidence of the young king's piety; nor is the word "only," which prefaces the statement, to be understood as introducing a qualifying circumstance that reflected any degree of censure upon him. The intention of the sacred historian is to describe the generally prevailing mode of worship before the temple was built. The
high places were altars erected on natural or artificial eminences, probably from the idea that men were brought nearer to the Deity. They had been used by the patriarchs, and had become so universal among the heathen that they were almost identified with idolatry. They were prohibited in the law
(Le 17:3, 4; De 12:13, 14; Jer 7:31; Eze 6:3, 4; Ho 10:8).
But, so long as the tabernacle was migratory and the means for the national worship were merely provisional, the worship on those high places was tolerated. Hence, as accounting for their continuance, it is expressly stated
(1Ki 3:2)
that God had not yet chosen a permanent and exclusive place for his worship.

4. 王上基遍去献祭——旧的会幕和摩西在旷野所造的铜坛都在那里
(1Ch 16:39; 21:29; 2Ch 1:3-6)。
这次王的巡行有公众性的意义。那是一个全国性的灵修时节。王由主要的贵胄陪同前往
(2Ch 1:2);
而这次场合极可能是一年一度的大节期之一,历时七日,因此献祭者的身分和每日接连的献祭,在某种程度上也有助于解释这些祭物之数目何以如此巨大。

4. the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there--The old tabernacle and the brazen altar which Moses had made in the wilderness were there
(1Ch 16:39; 21:29; 2Ch 1:3-6).
The royal progress was of public importance. It was a season of national devotion. The king was accompanied by his principal nobility
(2Ch 1:2);
and, as the occasion was most probably one of the great annual festivals which lasted seven days, the rank of the offerer and the succession of daily oblations may help in part to account for the immense magnitude of the sacrifices.

5. 在基遍,耶和华夜间于梦中向所罗门显现——这大概是在那段节期的尾声,他的心因漫长的礼仪而被提升到高度敬虔火热的状态。所罗门对智慧的恩赐有强烈的渴望,并已为此恳切祈求。在睡眠中,他的思想仍萦绕于祷告的内容,便梦见神向他显现,任凭他在世上万物中任选其一——他求智慧,神也应允了他的请求
(1Ki 3:9-12)。
他的梦不过是他先前愿望的想象性重现,但神的赐予却是真实的。

5. In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream--It was probably at the close of this season, when his mind had been elevated into a high state of religious fervor by the protracted services. Solomon felt an intense desire, and he had offered an earnest petition, for the gift of wisdom. In sleep his thoughts ran upon the subject of his prayer, and he dreamed that God appeared to him and gave him the option of every thing in the world--that he asked wisdom, and that God granted his request
(1Ki 3:9-12).
His dream was but an imaginary repetition of his former desire, but God's grant of it was real.

15. 原来是个梦——他对这梦的生动印象、不可磨灭的记忆,以及他心思所得着的新而增强的能力,加上汹涌而来的世俗荣华,都使他确信这梦是出于神的默示,源自神的恩典。然而他所求所蒙赐的智慧,与其说是心里的,不如说是头脑的——这智慧不是为他个人,而是为他的职任而赐的,为的是使他具备施行审判、治理国家、获取一般科学知识的能力。

15. behold, it was a dream--The vivid impression, the indelible recollection he had of this dream, together with the new and increased energy communicated to his mind, and the flow of worldly prosperity that rushed upon him, gave him assurance that it came by divine inspiration and originated in the grace of God. The wisdom, however, that was asked and obtained was not so much of the heart as of the head--it was wisdom not for himself personally, but for his office, such as would qualify him for the administration of justice, the government of a kingdom, and for the attainment of general scientific knowledge.

他判断两个妓女的案子
16. 有两个妓女来——东方君主通常亲自审案,至少在一切疑难案件中如此,当他们难以从纷乱的证词中找出真相、看清出路时,常诉诸人性的原则。近代东方的历史中,不乏司法案例的轶事,其判决正如所罗门这一判例一样,是对争讼双方天然情感所做实验的结果。

HIS JUDGMENT BETWEEN TWO HARLOTS.
16. Then came there two women--Eastern monarchs, who generally administer justice in person, at least in all cases of difficulty, often appeal to the principles of human nature when they are at a loss otherwise to find a clue to the truth or see clearly their way through a mass of conflicting testimony. The modern history of the East abounds with anecdotes of judicial cases, in which the decision given was the result of an experiment similar to this of Solomon upon the natural feelings of the contending parties.

所罗门娶法老的女儿
1. 所罗门与法老结亲——这是王室的尊号,相当于「苏丹」,据说这位君王的私名叫作瓦弗里斯(Vaphres)。与埃及王室在平等基础上缔结这门婚约,表明希伯来王国当时已享有极高的地位。Rosellini 曾从埃及古迹中给出据说是这位公主的画像。她在所入籍之地受到盛大的欢迎;因为《雅歌》和《诗篇》第四十五篇被认为是为纪念这一盛事而作,尽管两者可能都有更高层面的预表意义,指向外邦人被引入教会。
将她带进大卫城——即耶路撒冷。她不能进入锡安的堡垒,即安放约柜的那座建筑
(De 23:7, 8)。
她起初似乎被安置在他母亲的居所
(So 3:4; 8:2),
因为新宫殿中尚未为她预备合适的住所
(1Ki 7:8; 9:24; 2Ch 8:11)。
建造……耶路撒冷四围的城墙——虽然大卫已经开始修建
(Ps 51:18),
但据约瑟夫(JOSEPHUS)所言,扩展并完成该城的防御工事乃留待所罗门来成就。这桩婚姻是否符合律法,一直备受质疑(参
Ex 34:16; De 7:3; Ezr 10:1-10; Ne 13:26)。
但《圣经》从未加以谴责,不像所罗门与其他外邦人所缔结的关系那样
(1Ki 11:1-3);
由此可以推知,他已约定她放弃偶像崇拜,并归顺犹太宗教
(Ps 45:10, 11)。
