1Ch 17:1-10.
英文原文
1Ch 17:1-10.
DAVID FORBIDDEN TO BUILD GOD A HOUSE.
1. as David sat in his house--The details of this chapter were given in nearly similar terms
(2Sa 7:1-29).
The date was towards the latter end of David's reign, for it is expressly said in the former book to have been at the cessation of all his wars. But as to narrate the preparations for the removal of the ark and the erection of the temple was the principal object of the historian, the exact chronology is not followed.

5. 我……從這帳幕往那帳幕，從這居所往那居所——直譯作：「我曾在帳棚和居所中行走。」其明顯的用意（正如我們從
1Ch 17:6
所見的），乃是要強調神是一位 Mithhatlek（行走移動的神），帶着他的帳棚和他整個的居所（居所不僅包括帳棚，還包括外院和燔祭壇等）從一處搬到另一處〔BERTHEAU〕。
英文原文
5. I . . . have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another--The literal rendering is, "I was walking in a tent and in a dwelling." The evident intention (as we may see from
1Ch 17:6)
was to lay stress upon the fact that God was a Mithhatlek (a travelling God) and went from one place to another with His tent and His entire dwelling (the dwelling included not merely the tent, but the fore-courts with the altar of burnt offerings, &c.) [BERTHEAU].

6. 我對任何一個士師……豈說過一句話——在
2Sa 7:7
作「以色列的任何一個支派」。兩者都包括在內。但「受命牧養百姓」的士師，與大衛構成更恰當的對比。
你們為何不給我建造香柏木的殿宇呢？——即堅固宏偉的聖殿。
英文原文
6. spake I a word to any of the judges--In
2Sa 7:7
it is "any of the tribes" of Israel. Both are included. But the judges "who were commanded to feed the people," form the more suitable antithesis to David.
Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?--that is, a solid and magnificent temple.

7. 萬軍之耶和華如此說：我從羊圈中將你選召出來——羊圈乃是一座粗陋的圓塔，牆高而頂部敞開，夜間常把羊群關在裏面，以保護牠們免受野獸侵襲。意思是說：我將你從卑微的境況中提拔到寶座上，完全是出於屬天恩典的作為，並非因你本身有任何先存的功勞
（參
1Sa 16:11），
並且我使你獲得的聲望，與任何其他君王相等或更勝一籌。你的統治將永遠被視為以色列歷史中最美好、最輝煌的時代，因為它將為國家確保一個穩定繁榮與和平的產業，毫無早期那些折磨他們的壓迫或混亂。
英文原文
7. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote--a round tower of rude construction, high walled, but open at the top, in which sheep are often enclosed at night to protect them from wild beasts. The meaning is, I elevated you to the throne from a humble condition solely by an act of divine grace, and not from any antecedent merits of your own (see on
1Sa 16:11),
and I enabled you to acquire renown, equal or superior to any other monarch. Your reign will ever be afterwards regarded as the best and brightest era in the history of Israel, for it will secure to the nation a settled inheritance of prosperity and peace, without any of the oppressions or disorders that afflicted them in early times.

9, 10. 起初，自從我命士師——即從約書亞到掃羅的整個時期。
我告訴你，耶和華必為你建立家室——這是拿單自己的話，他特別受命要向大衛保證，不僅他個人要蒙福、亨通，並且要有綿延不斷的王室後裔。
英文原文
9, 10. at the beginning, and since the time that I commanded judges--that is, including the whole period from Joshua to Saul.
I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house--This was the language of Nathan himself, who was specially directed to assure David, not only of personal blessing and prosperity, but of a continuous line of royal descendants.

13. 我必不將我的慈愛全然奪去，像從前離棄在你面前的人一樣——我對待他的方法，將與我對待掃羅的有所不同。即使他的過失需要個人的懲戒，我也必存留他的家。若我認為有必要暫時收回我的恩惠與幫助，那只不過是糾正性的管教，為要使他歸正恢復，而不是要毀滅他。（有人根據本段經文，主張所羅門曾悔改歸向神）。
英文原文
13. I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee--My procedure in dealing with him will be different from My disposal of Saul. Should his misconduct call for personal chastisement, I shall spare his family. If I see it necessary to withdraw My favor and help for a time, it will be a corrective discipline only to reform and restore, not to destroy. (On this passage some have founded an argument for Solomon's repentance and return to God).

14. 我要將他永遠堅立在我家裏——治理我的百姓以色列。
在我的國裏直到永遠——神在此聲明他在以色列擁有至高主權的權利。大衛和所羅門及其繼承者，不過是他所設立、或在他的護理中所容許的代理人。
他的國位也必堅定，直到永遠——大衛的後裔在長久的世系中繼承了寶座——但並非總是如此。在這樣的上下文中，「直到永遠」這話是在有限的意義上使用的（參
La 3:31）。
我們自然期望先知在論到所羅門聖殿的建造
(1Ch 17:12)
之後，於結束之前回到大衛身上。他的家要蒙福的應許，是要作為他建造聖殿的心願落空的補償；因此這保證在先知講話的結尾重複，乃是恰當的〔BERTHEAU〕。
英文原文
14. I will settle him in my house--over My people Israel.
and in my kingdom for ever--God here asserts His right of supreme sovereignty in Israel. David and Solomon, with their successors, were only the vicegerents whom He nominated, or, in His providence, permitted.
his throne shall be established for evermore--The posterity of David inherited the throne in a long succession--but not always. In such a connection as this, the phrase "for evermore" is employed in a restricted sense (see on
La 3:31).
We naturally expect the prophet to revert to David before concluding, after having spoken
(1Ch 17:12)
of the building of Solomon's temple. The promise that his house should be blessed was intended as a compensation for the disappointment of his wish to build the temple, and hence this assurance is appropriately repeated at the conclusion of the prophet's address [BERTHEAU].

15. 照這一切……這異象——神旨意的啟示，是在夢中向先知顯示的。

15. According to all . . . this vision--The revelation of the divine will was made to the prophet in a dream.

16. 大衛王……坐在耶和華面前，說——（參

英文原文
16. David the king . . . sat before the Lord, and said--(See on
2Sa 7:18).
1Ch 17:1-10.
大衛被禁止為神建造殿宇
1. 大衛坐在自己宮中——本章的細節,與前書所述幾乎相同
(2Sa 7:1-29)。
其年代當在大衛王朝後期,因為前書明言此事發生在其一切戰事止息之時。但歷史學家的主要目的,是要敘述搬運約櫃的預備工作及聖殿的建造,因此並未嚴格遵循年代次序。
