2Ch 12:1-12.

レハブアムが 神を見捨て、 シシャクによって 罰せられる

1. レハブアムが王国を確立し、自分を強めた時——(参照

2Ch 11:17

の注解)。

彼の治世の最初の三年間、彼の王としての影響力は真の宗教の奨励に向けられた。安定と安逸は宗教的な衰退をもたらし、第四年にそれは公然たる背教に行き着いた。宮廷の模範はただちに彼の臣民に倣われた。「全イスラエルが彼と共にあった」、すなわち彼自身の王国の民がそうであったからである。その翌年、彼の治世の第五年に、シシャクの侵入という形で罰が下された。

Original em inglês

2Ch 12:1-12.

REHOBOAM, FORSAKING GOD, IS PUNISHED BY SHISHAK.

1. when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself--(See on

2Ch 11:17).

During the first three years of his reign his royal influence was exerted in the encouragement of the true religion. Security and ease led to religious decline, which, in the fourth year, ended in open apostasy. The example of the court was speedily followed by his subjects, for "all Israel was with him," that is, the people in his own kingdom. The very next year, the fifth of his reign, punishment was inflicted by the invasion of Shishak.

2. エジプトの王シシャクがエルサレムに攻め上った——彼は第二十二すなわちブバスティス王朝の初代の王であった。この侵入の直接的な原因は何であったか。ユダの王からの何らかの挑発に対する報復であったのか、それとも征服への野心的な見地によるものかは述べられていない。しかし侵入軍は広大な群衆であった。シシャクは自国のエジプト人と共に膨大な数の外国人援軍を引き連れていたからである。

Original em inglês

2. Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem--He was the first king of the twenty-second or Bubastic Dynasty. What was the immediate cause of this invasion? Whether it was in resentment for some provocation from the king of Judah, or in pursuance of ambitious views of conquest, is not said. But the invading army was a vast horde, for Shishak brought along with his native Egyptians an immense number of foreign auxiliaries.

3-5. ルビム人——北東アフリカのリビア人。

スッキム人——これらをテントに住むケニ人アラブ人と考える者もいるが、他の者たちはより正当に、これらは紅海の西沿岸の山脈の洞窟に住むアラブの洞窟住人であったと主張する。

エチオピア人——エジプトの南の地域からの。圧倒的な数の力によって、彼らは最近防備の状態に置かれたユダの要塞を取り、首都を包囲するために進軍した。シシャクとその軍勢がエルサレムの前にいる間、預言者シェマヤはレハブアムと君主たちに語りかけ、この災いを国民的背教に帰し、神を見捨てた結果として彼らを完全な滅びで脅かした

(2Ch 12:6)。

3-5. the Lubims--the Libyans of northeastern Africa.

the Sukkiims--Some think these were the Kenite Arabs, dwellers in tents, but others maintain more justly that these were Arab troglodytes, who inhabited the caverns of a mountain range on the western coast of the Red Sea.

and the Ethiopians--from the regions south of Egypt. By the overwhelming force of numbers, they took the fortresses of Judah which had been recently put in a state of defense, and marched to lay siege to the capital. While Shishak and his army was before Jerusalem, the prophet Shemaiah addressed Rehoboam and the princes, tracing this calamity to the national apostasy and threatening them with utter destruction in consequence of having forsaken God

(2Ch 12:6).

7, 8. 主は彼らがへりくだったのを見られた時——彼らの悔い改めと悔悟は最善の結果をもたらした。シェマヤが、神の裁きの瓶が彼らの上に完全に注がれることはない——ユダ王国の完全な転覆はその時には、またシシャクの手を通しては起こらないであろうと告げるよう命じられたからである。しかしいまだ、完全な覆滅からの一時的な猶予を享受するとしても、[ユダ]はエジプトの貢ぎを納める州となるであろう。それは民が、偶像礼拝的な外国の専制君主の奉仕よりも、神の奉仕がどれほど軽く、また良いかを学ぶためであった。

Original em inglês

7, 8. when the Lord saw that they humbled themselves--Their repentance and contrition was followed by the best effects; for Shemaiah was commissioned to announce that the phial of divine judgment would not be fully poured out on them--that the entire overthrow of the kingdom of Judah would not take place at that time, nor through the agency of Shishak; and yet, although it should enjoy a respite from total subversion, [Judah] should become a tributary province of Egypt in order that the people might learn how much lighter and better is the service of God than that of idolatrous foreign despots.

9. こうしてシシャクは……エルサレムに攻め上った——包囲された宮廷の感情と状態を描写する挿入的な節

(2Ch 12:5-8)

の後、史家はエルサレムへの攻撃と、それに伴う神殿と宮殿の略奪についての物語を再開する。

彼はすべてを取った——すなわち、価値あるものすべてを見つけた。的と盾の費用は約二十三万九千ポンドと見積もられている [ネピア(NAPIER)、《金属の古代の職人》(Ancient Workers in Metal)]。

金の盾——ソロモンが作ったもので、レバノンの森の宮に保管されていた

(2Ch 9:16)。

それらは宮殿の護衛が、王を神殿に、あるいは他の公の行列に伴う時、メイスのように担がれたようであった。それらの壮麗な標章がエジプトの征服者に略奪された後、下級の金属で他のものが作られ、宮殿の衛兵室に保管されて、使用に備えた。宮廷の色あせた栄光にもかかわらず、公かつ荘厳な機会には古い宫廷の礼儀が保たれていたからである。ユダのこの征服についての記述は、解釈者たちによれば、主要な捕虜のカルトゥーシュの中に「ユダの王」の名を伴い、ヒエログリフでカルナックの大宮殿の壁に彫られ、書かれており、今日見ることができる。この彫刻は約二千七百年前のものあり、聖書歴史の真実に対するエジプトからの印象的なあかしとして、特別な関心を引く。

9. So Shishak . . . came up against Jerusalem--After the parenthetical clause

(2Ch 12:5-8)

describing the feelings and state of the beleaguered court, the historian resumes his narrative of the attack upon Jerusalem, and the consequent pillage both of the temple and the palace.

he took all--that is, everything valuable he found. The cost of the targets and shields has been estimated at about £239,000 [NAPIER, Ancient Workers in Metal].

the shields of gold--made by Solomon, were kept in the house of the forest of Lebanon

(2Ch 9:16).

They seem to have been borne, like maces, by the guards of the palace, when they attended the king to the temple or on other public processions. Those splendid insignia having been plundered by the Egyptian conqueror, others were made of inferior metal and kept in the guard room of the palace, to be ready for use; as, notwithstanding the tarnished glory of the court, the old state etiquette was kept up on public and solemn occasions. An account of this conquest of Judah, with the name of "king of Judah" in the cartouche of the principal captive, according to the interpreters, is carved and written in hieroglyphics on the walls of the great palace of Karnak, where it may be seen at the present day. This sculpture is about twenty-seven hundred years old, and is of peculiar interest as a striking testimony from Egypt to the truth of Scripture history.

彼の治世と死

13, 14. レハブアムは……強め、治めた——エジプトの侵入は単なる略奪遠征であり、ユダの境界を越えることはなく、おそらく間もなく侵略された者によって撃退された。レハブアムの政府は真の宗教の一般的な復興によって新たな生命と活力を獲得し、彼の治世はシシャクの離脱後も長年続いた。しかし

彼は主を求めるために心を整えなかった——すなわち、彼は始めた改革の良い道に堅く従わなかった。「そして彼は悪を行った」。異邦人の外国人である母の不幸な影響を通じて、彼は若い頃に偶像礼拝への強い傾きを受けていたに違いないからである

1Ki 14:21

の注解)。

2Ch 12:13-16.

HIS REIGN AND DEATH.

13, 14. Rehoboam strengthened . . . and reigned--The Egyptian invasion had been a mere predatory expedition, not extending beyond the limits of Judah, and probably, ere long, repelled by the invaded. Rehoboam's government acquired new life and vigor by the general revival of true religion, and his reign continued many years after the departure of Shishak. But

he prepared not his heart to seek the Lord--that is, he did not adhere firmly to the good course of reformation he had begun, "and he did evil," for through the unhappy influence of his mother, a heathen foreigner, he had no doubt received in his youth a strong bias towards idolatry (see on

1Ki 14:21).
