Jud 3:1-4.
简体中文
英文原文
Jud 3:1-4.
NATIONS LEFT TO PROVE ISRAEL.
1. these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel--This was the special design of these nations being left, and it evinces the direct influence of the theocracy under which the Israelites were placed. These nations were left for a double purpose: in the first instance, to be instrumental, by their inroads, in promoting the moral and spiritual discipline of the Israelites; and also to subserve the design of making them acquainted with war, in order that the young, more especially, who were total strangers to it, might learn the use of weapons and the art of wielding them.

简体中文
Jud 3:5-7.
因与这些人相通，以色列人犯下拜偶像之罪。
5-7. 以色列人住在迦南人中间——两族人逐渐有了交往。彼此结亲，直到以色列人渐渐松懈了原则的严谨，对拜偶像邻舍的习俗与敬拜越发随从附和。
英文原文
Jud 3:5-7.
BY COMMUNION WITH THESE THE ISRAELITES COMMIT IDOLATRY.
5-7. the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites--The two peoples by degrees came to be on habits of intercourse. Reciprocal alliances were formed by marriage till the Israelites, relaxing the austerity of their principles, showed a growing conformity to the manners and worship of their idolatrous neighbors.

简体中文
Jud 3:8-11.
俄陀聂拯救以色列。
8-11. 把他们卖了——即「把他们交在」
古珊利萨田的手里——或作古珊，「那恶者」。这名大概因他残暴不敬虔的性情而得。
服事古珊利萨田八年——每年缴纳议定的贡物，其征敛必带来极大的劳苦与困乏。
英文原文
Jud 3:8-11.
OTHNIEL DELIVERS ISRAEL.
8-11. sold them--that is, "delivered them"
into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim--or, Chushan, "the wicked." This name had been probably given him from his cruel and impious character.
served Chushan-rishathaim eight years--by the payment of a stipulated tribute yearly, the raising of which must have caused a great amount of labor and privation.

9. 以色列人呼求耶和华的时候——他们在急难中恳切祷告，并谦卑痛悔地认罪。
俄陀聂——（参见
书15:16；
士1:13的注释）。
他的军事经验使他堪当此任，而他素来英勇的声名，使他深得同胞对其领袖才能的充分信任。
英文原文

Jud 1:13).
His military experience qualified him for the work, while the gallant exploits he was known to have performed, gained him the full confidence of his countrymen in his ability as a leader.

10. 耶和华的灵降在他身上，他就作了以色列的士师，出去打仗——他在超然的感动之下，于这国难当头之时肩负起艰难的治国之任：着手推行普遍的民俗改革，废除偶像，复兴纯正的宗教。这些初步措施之后，他召集了一批精兵，要将外族压迫者驱逐出去。
耶和华将美索不达米亚王古珊利萨田交在他手中；他的手就胜了古珊利萨田——这场战事没有记载细节；考虑到这样一位强大君主的资源，这必定是一场硬仗。但以色列的兵锋因神的赐福而得胜，迦南重获自由与独立。
英文原文
10. The Spirit of the Lord came upon him and he judged Israel, and went out to war--Impelled by a supernatural influence, he undertook the difficult task of government at this national crisis--addressing himself to promote a general reformation of manners, the abolition of idolatry, and the revival of pure religion. After these preliminary measures, he collected a body of choice warriors to expel the foreign oppressors.
the Lord delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim--No details are given of this war, which, considering the resources of so potent a monarch, must have been a determined struggle. But the Israelitish arms were crowned through the blessing of God with victory, and Canaan regained its freedom and independence.

简体中文
Jud 3:12-30.
以笏杀伊矶伦。
12-14. 以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事——以色列人失去了俄陀聂在道德与政治上的影响，不久便顺从拜偶像的本性。
耶和华就使摩押王伊矶伦强盛——在位之君的野心，是要收复被以色列人所占的那一大片故土。他与邻邦亚扪人、亚玛力人——以色列的宿敌——联手，先征服了河东诸支派；然后渡过约旦河，突袭河西迦南，凭借所胜之地，在耶利哥附近的边境筑了防御工事〔约瑟夫〕，以巩固边疆，并驻跸于此。神在祂的护理中，允许这压迫者得胜十八年。
英文原文
Jud 3:12-30.
EHUD SLAYS EGLON.
12-14. the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord--The Israelites, deprived of the moral and political influences of Othniel, were not long in following their native bias to idolatry.
the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab--The reigning monarch's ambition was to recover that extensive portion of his ancient territory possessed by the Israelites. In conjunction with his neighbors, the Ammonites and the Amalekites, sworn enemies of Israel, he first subjected the eastern tribes; then crossing the Jordan, he made a sudden incursion on western Canaan, and in virtue of his conquests, erected fortifications in the territory adjoining Jericho [JOSEPHUS], to secure the frontier, and fixed his residence there. This oppressor was permitted, in the providence of God, to triumph for eighteen years.

But the original word is rendered in some versions "both-handed," a view countenanced by

by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab--the yearly tribute, which, according to Eastern fashion, would be borne with ostentatious ceremony and offered
(Jud 3:18)

statues of Moabite idols, the sight of which kindled the patriotic zeal of Ehud to avenge this public insult to Israel on its author.
I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence--"Privacy"--a signal for all to withdraw.

31. 以笏之后，有珊迦——关于这位士师的支派或家族并无记载；从激起他出来服役的敌人是非利士人来看，这苦难似乎是地方性的——只限于某些西部支派。
用赶牛的棍子打死……六百人——这器具长八英尺，圆周约六英寸。一端装有尖锐的刺，用来赶牛；另一端装有小小的铁铲，用来清除犁上所沾的泥土。这样的器具由强壮的手臂挥舞，杀伤力不小。然而，因这记载十分简略，我们可以推测珊迦只是一队农夫的首领，他们凭着当时手边能抓到的农具，成就了所记的英勇壮举。
英文原文
31. after him was Shamgar--No notice is given of the tribe or family of this judge; and from the Philistines being the enemy that roused him into public service, the suffering seems to have been local--confined to some of the western tribes.
slew . . . six hundred men with an oxgoad--This instrument is eight feet long and about six inches in circumference. It is armed at the lesser end with a sharp prong for driving the cattle, and on the other with a small iron paddle for removing the clay which encumbers the plough in working. Such an instrument, wielded by a strong arm, would do no mean execution. We may suppose, however, for the notice is very fragmentary, that Shamgar was only the leader of a band of peasants, who by means of such implements of labor as they could lay hold of at the moment, achieved the heroic exploit recorded.
Jud 3:1-4.
留下来的列国为要试验以色列。
1. 耶和华留下这几族，为要试验以色列人——留下这些民族的特殊目的正在于此，这清楚显明以色列人所处之神权治理的直接影响。留下这些民族有双重目的：首先，借其入侵作工具，促成以色列人在道德与属灵上的操练；其次，为要使以色列人熟悉战争，好叫那些——尤其是年轻人——对战争完全陌生的，可以学习兵器的使用以及挥舞兵器的方法。
