得胜的基督-第139章
“(亚比该)对仆人说,‘你们前头走,我随着你们去。’这事她却没有告诉丈夫拿八”(撒上25:19)。{CTr 144.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第139章
And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.1 Samuel 25:19.{CTr 144.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第139章
主要求妻子尊重丈夫,但要常在主里才相宜。从拿八的妻子亚比该的品德上,我们看出了照基督命令行事的女性模范;而她的丈夫却显示出一个自愿受撒但控制的男人会成为怎样的人。大卫躲避扫罗的面,成了流亡者。他曾经在拿八的产业附近安营并保护了此人的羊群和牧人。大卫在有需要的时候,打发人带着礼貌的信息到拿八那里去,为他自己和跟随他的人要求食物。拿八的回答粗鲁无礼,以恶报善,拒绝将自己富余的食粮分给他的邻居。……{CTr 144.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第139章
The Lord would have the wife render respect unto her husband, but always as it is fit in the Lord. In the character of Abigail, the wife of Nabal, we have an illustration of womanhood after the order of Christ, while her husband illustrates what a man may become who yields himself to the control of Satan. When David was a fugitive from the face of Saul, he had camped near the possessions of Nabal and had protected the flocks and the shepherds of this man from all depredation while in Carmel. In a time of need David sent messengers to Nabal with a courteous message, asking for food for himself and his men, and Nabal answered with insolence, returning evil for good and refusing to share his abundance with his neighbors....{CTr 144.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第139章
八为了证明他的自私是正当的,便诬告大卫和跟从他的人,视他们为悖逆主人奔逃的仆人。……拿八的一个青年仆人惟恐拿八的粗野无礼会招惹恶果,就来将这事告诉拿八的妻子,因为他深知她的作风与她丈夫大不相同,是一个极有判断力的女子。他述说了拿八的本性,指出所面临的困境说:“所以你当筹划,看怎样行才好;不然,祸患定要临到我主人和他全家。他性情凶暴,无人敢与他说话。”{CTr 144.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第139章
Nabal accused David and his men falsely in order to justify himself in his selfishness, and represented David and his followers as runaway slaves.... One of the young men in the employ of Nabal, fearing that evil results would follow Nabal’s insolence, came and stated the case to Nabal’s wife, knowing that she had a different spirit from her husband and was a woman of great discretion. He set forth the true character of Nabal as he presented the difficulties to her, saying, “Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.”{CTr 144.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第139章
亚比该看出必须采取措施,以避免拿八过失的恶果。她不能与她的丈夫商量,而必须负起责任,立即行动。她知道跟他讲是没有用的,因为他只会以辱骂和蔑视来对待她的主张。他一定会提醒她:惟有他才是一家之主。她既是他的妻子,就当顺从他,必须按他的指示行事。……筹集了一大批她所认为最适于使大卫息怒的必需品,因为她知道大卫决心要为自己所遭受的侮辱报仇。……{CTr 144.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第139章
Abigail saw that something must be done to avert the result of Nabal’s fault, and that she must take the responsibility of acting immediately, without the counsel of her husband. She knew that it would be useless to speak to him, for he would receive her proposition only with abuse and contempt. He would remind her that he was the lord of his household, that she was his wife and therefore in subjection to him and must do as he should dictate.... She gathered together such stores as she thought best to conciliate the wrath of David, for she knew he was determined to avenge himself for the insult he had received....{CTr 144.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第139章
亚比该在这件事上的作法是上帝所赞许的。当时的情况也显明了她高尚的精神和品格。……亚比该恭敬地迎见大卫,表示尊重与服从,有说服力而又有效地申述自己的情况。她虽然没有为他丈夫的粗鲁无礼开脱,却仍为他请求饶命。她还显明自己不仅是一个贤惠的女子,也是一个敬虔的女子,认清上帝在大卫身上的作为和意向。(Manuscript 1891.17;21MR. 213, 214) {CTr 144.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第139章
Abigail’s course in this matter was one that God approved, and the circumstance revealed in her a noble spirit and character.... Abigail met David with respect, showing him honor and deference, and pleaded her cause eloquently and successfully. While not excusing her husband’s insolence, she still pleaded for his life. She also revealed the fact that she was not only a discreet woman, but a godly woman, acquainted with the works and ways of God in David.—Manuscript 17, 1891?(Manuscript Releases 21:213, 214).{CTr 144.5}[5]
