奋斗与勇敢-第169章
在书念的平原和基利波山的斜坡上,以色列的军队和非利士的大军作了一次殊死的决斗。隐多珥山洞中的景象虽然消灭了扫罗王心中一切的希望,但他还是以决死之勇为自己的王位和国家作战。然而这已是徒劳无益了。“以色列人在非利士人面前逃跑,在基利波有被杀仆倒的。”王的三个勇敢的儿子都在他身边阵亡了。敌人的弓箭手紧追着扫罗。他眼看到军兵仆倒在他周围,他的王子被刀所杀。他自己也受了伤,既无法再战,又不能逃跑。他不可能躲避了,他决意不让自己被非利士人活活擒去,就吩咐拿兵器的人说:“你拔出刀来,将我刺死。”但当那人不肯伸手杀害耶和华的受膏者时,扫罗就自己伏在刀上死了。以色列的第一个王就带着自杀的罪死了。(PP681,682){CC 174.2}[2]

扫罗随从撒但的指导,迅速走向他想凭自己不圣洁的力量所竭力避免的败亡。{CC 174.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第169章
On the plain of Shunem and the slopes of Mount Gilboa the armies of Israel and the hosts of the Philistines closed in mortal combat. Though the fearful scene in the cave of Endor had driven all hope from his heart, Saul fought with desperate valor for his throne and his kingdom. But it was in vain. “The men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in Mount Gilboa.” Three brave sons of the king died at his side. The archers pressed upon Saul. He had seen his soldiers falling around him and his princely sons cut down by the sword. Himself wounded, he could neither fight nor fly. Escape was impossible, and determined not to be taken alive by the Philistines, he bade his armor-bearer, “Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith.” When the man refused to lift his hand against the Lord’s anointed, Saul took his own life by falling upon his sword. Thus the first king of Israel perished, with the guilt of self-murder upon his soul.29 {CC 174.2}[3]

悖逆的国王一再蔑视上帝的忠告。于是上帝就任凭他随从自己智慧的愚妄。上帝之灵的感化力本来是可以抑制他脱离他所选择,导致他毁灭的恶行的。上帝憎恨一切的罪。当人坚持拒绝上天的一切劝告时,上帝就任凭他受仇敌的欺骗,和自己情欲的引诱。(2BC.1019){CC 174.4}[4]

By following the dictates of Satan, Saul was himself hastening the very result which, with unsanctified ability, he was endeavoring to avert. {CC 174.3}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第169章
以色列第一位国王失败了,因为他把自己的意思放在上帝的旨意之上,上帝藉着先知撒母耳教导扫罗,作为以色列的国王,他的行为必须保持最严格的正直。这样,上帝就会使他的政府兴旺,可是扫罗却不肯首先考虑顺从上帝,以天国的原则指导他的政府。他最后死于耻辱和绝望之中。(2BC.1017){CC 174.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第169章
The counsel of the Lord had been disregarded again and again by the rebellious king, and the Lord had given him up to the folly of his own wisdom. The influences of the Spirit of God would have restrained him from the course of evil which he had chosen, that eventually worked out his ruin. God hates all sin, and when man persistently refuses all the counsel of heaven, he is left to the deceptions of the enemy, to be drawn away of his own lusts, and enticed.30 {CC 174.4}[5]
