1Ch 29:1-9.
DAVID CAUSES THE PRINCES AND PEOPLE TO OFFER FOR THE HOUSE OF GOD.
1, 2. Solomon . . . is yet young and tender--Though Solomon was very young when he was raised to the sovereign power, his kingdom escaped the woe pronounced
(Ec 10:16).
Mere childhood in a prince is not always a misfortune to a nation, as there are instances of the government being wisely administered during a minority. Solomon himself is a most illustrious proof that a young prince may prove a great blessing; for when he was but a mere child, with respect to his age, no nation was happier. His father, however, made this address before Solomon was endowed with the divine gift of wisdom, and David's reference to his son's extreme youth, in connection with the great national undertaking he had been divinely appointed to execute, was to apologize to this assembly of the estates--or, rather, to assign the reason of his elaborate preparations for the work.

3, 4. 此外……我有我自己的財物等——大衛除了先前已為聖殿各樣用途所奉獻的大量金銀財寶之外,如今又再獻上一筆捐輸,指定作一特殊用途——即用以包裹聖殿的牆壁。這自願的禮物出自這位王家捐獻者的私財,並且是經過極其慎重揀選的。那些金乃是「俄斐的金」,在當時被視為世上最純最精的金
(Job 22:24; 28:16; Isa 13:12)。
其數量為金三千他連得,精煉的銀子七千他連得。
英文原文
3, 4. Moreover . . . I have of mine own proper good, &c.--In addition to the immense amount of gold and silver treasure which David had already bequeathed for various uses in the service of the temple, he now made an additional contribution destined to a specific purpose--that of overlaying the walls of the house. This voluntary gift was from the private fortune of the royal donor, and had been selected with the greatest care. The gold was "the gold of Ophir," then esteemed the purest and finest in the world
(Job 22:24; 28:16; Isa 13:12).
The amount was three thousand talents of gold and seven thousand talents of refined silver.

5. 誰甘心樂意將自己獻上——希伯來文作「充滿他的手」;意即獻上祭物
(Ex 32:29; Le 8:33; 1Ki 13:33)。
意思是說,凡自願捐輸、像他那樣行的,便是向耶和華獻上甘心祭。這是人人都能獻上的祭物,獻祭者本人即是祭司。大衛為聖殿徵求甘心祭,乃是效法摩西當初為會幕所行的
(Ex 25:1-8)。
英文原文
5. who then is willing to consecrate his service--Hebrew, "fill his hand"; that is, make an offering
(Ex 32:29; Le 8:33; 1Ki 13:33).
The meaning is, that whoever would contribute voluntarily, as he had done, would be offering a freewill offering to the Lord. It was a sacrifice which every one of them could make, and in presenting which the offerer himself would be the priest. David, in asking freewill offerings for the temple, imitated the conduct of Moses in reference to the tabernacle
(Ex 25:1-8).

6-8. 於是眾首領——即父家的首領
(1Ch 24:31; 27:1)。
以色列各支派的首領——
(1Ch 27:16-22)。
千夫長百夫長——即掌管王的家業和其他財產的人
(1Ch 27:25-31)。
誠心獻上——受了王勸勉的言辭與榜樣所感動,他們各按自己的力量而行,他們合共的捐獻達到下列總數——金五千他連得、一萬達利克;銀一萬他連得,此外還有銅和鐵。
英文原文
6-8. Then the chief of the fathers--or heads of the fathers
(1Ch 24:31; 27:1).
princes of the tribes--
(1Ch 27:16-22).
rulers of the king's work--those who had charge of the royal demesnes and other possessions
(1Ch 27:25-31).
offered willingly--Influenced by the persuasive address and example of the king, they acted according to their several abilities, and their united contributions amounted to the gross sum--of gold 5,000 talents and 10,000 drams; and of silver, 10,000 talents, besides brass and iron.

7. 達利克——更當作 darics,波斯錢幣,猶太人自被擄時期起便已熟悉,後來在西亞各國廣泛流通。其價值估計相等於英國貨幣二十五先令。
銅一萬八千他連得,鐵十萬他連得——在聖經中,鐵總是被提到作為價值較低的物品,比銅更多更賤〔NAPIER〕。
英文原文
7. drams--rather, darics, a Persian coin, with which the Jews from the time of the captivity became familiar, and which was afterwards extensively circulated in the countries of Western Asia. It is estimated as equal in value to 25s. of British currency.
of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron--In Scripture, iron is always referred to as an article of comparatively low value, and of greater abundance and cheaper than bronze [NAPIER].

8. 凡有寶石的——更當譯作「凡與之同時被發現的寶石,他們都獻上了」〔BERTHEAU〕。這些禮物交在耶歇的手中,他的家族受託管理耶和華殿的府庫
(1Ch 26:21)。
英文原文
8. and they with whom precious stones were found--rather, "whatever was found along with it of precious stones they gave" [BERTHEAU]. These gifts were deposited in the hands of Jehiel, whose family was charged with the treasures of the house of the Lord
(1Ch 26:21).

他的感恩。
10-19. 大衛稱頌耶和華——這篇優美的感恩禱告,乃是因見到百姓如今對推進他一生所鍾愛的計劃,表現出如此熱切而廣泛的關心,而湧流出的滿懷感恩與喜樂之情。其敬虔表現在熱切的屬靈情感之中——將一切屬世的財富與偉大都歸給神為賞賜者,將百姓樂意捐輸的普遍情形歸因於神恩典的影響,並為這種喜樂的心意能在百姓中間持續而禱告,又莊嚴懇切地將這位年輕的王和他的國家交託給神的看顧與賜福。
英文原文
1Ch 29:10-25.
HIS THANKSGIVING.
10-19. Wherefore David blessed the Lord--This beautiful thanksgiving prayer was the effusion overflowing with gratitude and delight at seeing the warm and widespread interest that was now taken in forwarding the favorite project of his life. Its piety is displayed in the fervor of devotional feeling--in the ascription of all worldly wealth and greatness to God as the giver, in tracing the general readiness in contributing to the influence of His grace, in praying for the continuance of this happy disposition among the people, and in solemnly and earnestly commending the young king and his kingdom to the care and blessing of God.

16. 我們所預備的這許多財物——將史家所述為擬建之聖殿而積存並捐獻的財寶,以列表方式展示出來,或許有所助益。除了銅、鐵和寶石之外——這些雖然部分有指明
(1Ch 29:7),
但在別處則被形容為「無法可稱」
(1Ch 22:3, 14)——
我們在本表中只列金和銀的數量;若以一他連得金子價值五千四百七十五英鎊計(一他連得重一百二十五磅),則金的價值約為每盎司七十三先令。一他連得銀子定為三百四十二英鎊三先令九便士,即每盎司四先令四點五便士。捐獻的總額如下:
所積存、存於國庫的
(1Ch 22:14):
金 547,500,000英鎊 銀 342,187,500英鎊 大衛從私產中捐獻的
[1Ch 29:4]:
金 16,425,000英鎊 銀 2,395,312英鎊 與會的首領所捐獻的
[1Ch 29:7]:
金 28,000,000英鎊 銀 3,421,875英鎊 總計約 939,929,687英鎊
東方君王素來有為完成任何計劃中的工程而囤積巨款的習慣,但這個數目不但超過一切東方有記錄的收藏,甚至超出了可能性的範圍,以致人們普遍認為:要麼是
1Ch 22:14
的經文有誤,要麼是史家所用的計算是巴比倫他連得——僅為希伯來他連得的一半——或敘利亞他連得——僅為五分之一。這樣就能使聖經的記載更與約瑟夫的陳述相符,也更在可信的範圍之內。
英文原文
16. all this store that we have prepared--It may be useful to exhibit a tabular view of the treasure laid up and contributions stated by the historian as already made towards the erection of the proposed temple. Omitting the brass and iron, and precious stones, which, though specified partly
(1Ch 29:7),
are represented in other portions as "without weight"
(1Ch 22:3, 14),
we shall give in this table only the amount of gold and silver; and taking the talent of gold as worth £5475 (the talent being 125 pounds in weight), the value of the gold will be about 73s. per ounce. The talent of silver is given at £342 3s. 9d., or 4s. 4½d. per ounce. The total amount of the contributions will be:
Sum accumulated, and in public treasury
(1Ch 22:14):
Gold £547,500,000 Silver 342,187,500 Contributed by David from his private resources
[1Ch 29:4]:
Gold 16,425,000 Silver 2,395,312 Contributed by the assembled rulers
[1Ch 29:7]:
Gold 28,000,000 Silver 3,421,875 A grand total of approximately £939,929,687
Though it has been the common practice of Eastern monarchs to hoard vast sums for the accomplishment of any contemplated project, this amount so far exceeds not only every Oriental collection on record, but even the bounds of probability, that it is very generally allowed that either there is a corruption of the text in
1Ch 22:14,
or that the reckoning of the historian was by the Babylonian, which was only a half, or the Syrian, which was only a fifth part, of the Hebrew talent. This would bring the Scripture account more into accordance with the statements of JOSEPHUS, as well as within the range of credibility.

22. before the Lord--either in the immediate vicinity of the ark, or, perhaps, rather in a religious and devout spirit, as partaking of a sacrificial meal.
made Solomon . . . king the second time--in reference to the first time, which was done precipitately on Adonijah's conspiracy
(1Ki 1:35).
they . . . anointed . . . Zadok--The statement implies that his appointment met the popular approval. His elevation as sole high priest was on the disgrace of Abiathar, one of Adonijah's accomplices.

1Ch 29:1-9.
大衛促使眾首領與百姓為神的殿奉獻
1, 2. 所羅門……年紀尚幼嫩——所羅門登基時雖極年幼,他的國卻免了所宣告的禍患
(Ec 10:16)。
君王年幼對一國而言並非總是不幸,因有未成年期間政府得以明智治理的先例。所羅門本人便是最顯赫的明證,表明一位年輕的君王可能成為極大的祝福;因為當他按年齡尚不過是一個孩童之時,沒有一國比那國更幸福。然而他父親發表這番話時,所羅門尚未蒙賜智慧的神聖恩賜;大衛提及他兒子極其年幼,與他所受神任命要執行的國家大業相聯繫,是要向這次各等級的大會致歉——或者更確切地說,是要說明他為何為此工程如此周詳預備的原因。
