GOD'S COVENANT IN A SECOND VISION WITH SOLOMON.
1. And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house--This first verse is connected with
1Ki 9:11,
all that is contained between
1Ki 9:2-10
being parenthetical.

2. 那——更应作「因为」。
耶和华显现——这次显现,与先前在基遍的那次一样,极可能是在超然的异象中,在圣殿奉献之后的当夜
(2Ch 7:12)。
其内容也与这一看法相符,因为它是对他那庄严的献殿祷告的直接回应
(1Ki 9:3
是回应 1Ki 8:29;
1Ki 9:4, 5
是回应 1Ki 8:25, 26;
1Ki 9:6-9
是回应 1Ki 8:33-46;
另见
De 29:22-24)。
英文原文
2. That--rather, "For."
the Lord appeared--This appearance was, like the former one at Gibeon, most probably made in a supernatural vision, and on the night immediately following the dedication of the temple
(2Ch 7:12).
The strain of it corresponds to this view, for it consists of direct answers to his solemn inaugural prayer
(1Ki 9:3 is in answer to 1Ki 8:29;
1Ki 9:4, 5 is in answer to 1Ki 8:25, 26;
1Ki 9:6-9 to 1Ki 8:33-46;
see also
De 29:22-24).

8. 这殿虽然甚高——「甚高」或指地势,因为殿建在山上,所以每个观看的人都看得见;或指特权、尊荣和名声而言;或作「这至高者的殿」,尽管它华美宏伟,却必被毁坏,沦于荒凉屈辱的境地,成为神公义审判的显著纪念。这第二次异象的记载——其中复述了神与所罗门立约的条件以及违背这些条件的后果——此处插入十分恰当,可作为下文将要叙述的这位君王商业经营和追求世上荣耀之野心的引言;因为这位君王鼓励外族人涌入、纵容对外国奢侈品的喜好,迅速地腐蚀了自己和臣民的心,以致他们和他们的儿女都偏离了神,不再跟从祂
(1Ki 9:6)。
英文原文
8. this house, which is high--"high," either in point of situation, for it was built on a hill, and therefore conspicuous to every beholder; or "high" in respect to privilege, honor, and renown; or this "house of the Most High," notwithstanding all its beauty and magnificence, shall be destroyed, and remain in such a state of ruin and degradation as to be a striking monument of the just judgment of God. The record of this second vision, in which were rehearsed the conditions of God's covenant with Solomon and the consequences of breaking them, is inserted here as a proper introduction to the narrative about to be given of this king's commercial enterprises and ambitious desire for worldly glory; for this king, by encouraging an influx of foreign people and a taste for foreign luxuries, rapidly corrupted his own mind and that of this subjects, so that they turned from following God, they and their children
(1Ki 9:6).

所罗门与希兰互赠礼物
10. 所罗门建造耶和华殿和王宫,这二十年才完毕——建殿用了七年半,建王宫用了十二年半或十三年
(1Ki 7:1; 2Ch 8:1)。
本节只是
1Ki 9:1
的重述,为使叙事的脉络得以衔接而作。
英文原文
1Ki 9:10-23.
THE MUTUAL PRESENTS OF SOLOMON AND HIRAM.
10. at the end of twenty years--Seven and a half years were spent in building the temple, and twelve and a half or thirteen in the erection of his palace
(1Ki 7:1; 2Ch 8:1).
This verse is only a recapitulation of
1Ki 9:1,
necessary to recover the thread of connection in the narrative.

11. 所罗门将加利利地的二十座城给了希兰——据约瑟夫(JOSEPHUS)所言,这些城位于加利利西北,邻近推罗。它们虽在应许之地的边界之内
(Ge 15:18; Jos 1:4),
但此前从未被征服,居民是迦南异族人
(Jud 4:2-13; 2Ki 15:29)。
这些城大概给了希兰(他的领土不大),作为他为圣殿和其他建筑提供工匠、材料和大量精金
(1Ki 9:14)
之重要服务的报酬[MICHAELIS]。但也有人认为,这些金子可能是希兰因无法解答那些谜语和箴言而付给所兰的罚金;据约瑟夫所言,这两位君王在私人通信中以这些谜语箴言自娱。希兰大概因为这些城地处内陆,不适合他那航海经商的民族,而加以拒绝;所罗门便以其他方式满足了他的盟友;他亲手接管这些城,先修好破损的城墙,再迁入希伯来人作为殖民
(2Ch 8:2)。
英文原文
11. Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee--According to JOSEPHUS, they were situated on the northwest of it, adjacent to Tyre. Though lying within the boundaries of the promised land
(Ge 15:18; Jos 1:4),
they had never been conquered till then, and were inhabited by Canaanite heathens
(Jud 4:2-13; 2Ki 15:29).
They were probably given to Hiram, whose dominions were small, as a remuneration for his important services in furnishing workmen, materials, and an immense quantity of wrought gold
(1Ki 9:14)
for the temple and other buildings [MICHAELIS]. The gold, however, as others think, may have been the amount of forfeits paid to Solomon by Hiram for not being able to answer the riddles and apothegms, with which, according to JOSEPHUS, in their private correspondence, the two sovereigns amused themselves. Hiram having refused these cities, probably on account of their inland situation making them unsuitable to his maritime and commercial people, Solomon satisfied his ally in some other way; and, taking these cities into his own hands, he first repaired their shattered walls, then filled them with a colony of Hebrews
(2Ch 8:2).

15-24. 所罗门王挑取服苦的人,这是缘由——征役既指人也指钱;所罗门之所以要征役,是因为他所着手兴建的许多巨大工程。
米罗——是锡安山上耶路撒冷堡垒的一部分
(2Sa 5:9; 1Ch 11:8),
或指环绕锡安山的一排石砌堡垒,米罗即那道城墙的大角楼
(1Ki 11:27; 2Ch 32:5)。
耶路撒冷的城墙——或指修补其中的破损

或指将它扩展,使锡安山也围在其中。
夏琐——因它是该国北部边界上的重要城邑而设防。
米吉多——(今莱琼 Leijun)——位于埃及与大马士革之间的大商队道上,是西部低地通往巴勒斯坦北部的锁钥,故设防。
基色——在以法莲西陲,虽为利未城,却为迦南人所据。它因某种缘故遭到埃及王攻击,按征伐的权利归他所有,他便将其作为女儿的嫁妆,由所罗门设防。
英文原文
15-24. this is the reason of the levy--A levy refers both to men and money, and the necessity for Solomon making it arose from the many gigantic works he undertook to erect.
Millo--part of the fort of Jerusalem on Mount Zion
(2Sa 5:9; 1Ch 11:8),
or a row of stone bastions around Mount Zion, Millo being the great corner tower of that fortified wall
(1Ki 11:27; 2Ch 32:5).
the wall of Jerusalem--either repairing some breaches in it
(1Ki 11:27),
or extending it so as to enclose Mount Zion.
Hazor--fortified on account of its importance as a town in the northern boundary of the country.
Megiddo--(now Leijun)--Lying in the great caravan road between Egypt and Damascus, it was the key to the north of Palestine by the western lowlands, and therefore fortified.
Gezer--on the western confines of Ephraim, and, though a Levitical city, occupied by the Canaanites. Having fallen by right of conquest to the king of Egypt, who for some cause attacked it, it was given by him as a dowry to his daughter, and fortified by Solomon.

18. 巴拉——即巴力贝克(Baal-bek)。
他得默——即巴尔米拉(Palmyra),在大马士革与幼发拉底河之间,他将其重建并设防,以防御来自北亚的入侵。他在完成这些以及遍及全国(尤其是北方,因那里的敌人大马士革的利逊可能成为祸患)的各项工程时,征用了大批迦南人作划船的苦役奴隶
(2Ch 2:18),
视他们为战俘,被迫从事粗重苦工,而以色列人只从事体面的工作。
英文原文
18. Baalath--Baal-bek.
Tadmor--Palmyra, between Damascus and the Euphrates, was rebuilt and fortified as a security against invasion from northern Asia. In accomplishing these and various other works which were carried on throughout the kingdom, especially in the north, where Rezon of Damascus, his enemy, might prove dangerous, he employed vast numbers of the Canaanites as galley slaves
(2Ch 2:18),
treating them as prisoners of war, who were compelled to do the drudgery and hard labor, while the Israelites were only engaged in honorable employment.

24、25. 每年三次——即逾越节、五旬节和住棚节
(2Ch 8:13; 31:3)。
这两节所述的情形,恰当地总结了他各项建筑的记载,并表明他在耶路撒冷兴建那些建筑的目的,是要弥补他登基时存在的缺陷(参见

SOLOMON'S YEARLY SACRIFICES.
24, 25. three times in a year--namely, at the passover, pentecost, and feast of tabernacles
(2Ch 8:13; 31:3).
The circumstances mentioned in these two verses form a proper conclusion to the record of his buildings and show that his design in erecting those at Jerusalem was to remedy defects existing at the commencement of his reign (see
1Ki 3:1-4).
