旧约 - 士师记（Judges）第16章

Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.

And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.

And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.

And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.

And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.

And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.

Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.

Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.

And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.

And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.

Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.

And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.

And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.

And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.

And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;

That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.

And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.

And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.

And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.

But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.

Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.

Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.

And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.

And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.

And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.

Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.

And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.

And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.

Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.

士师记第十六章　　第 16 章　

　　大利拉　

　　士 16:5> 非利士人的首领是些什么人？　

　　16:5　非利士人有五个首领，而不是由一个人统治。每个首领统治一个城市──亚实突、亚实基伦、以革伦、迦特及迦萨。每个城市皆是商业贸易的重要中心。以大利拉的品格来说，既然这些城市有钱有势的首领亲自去见她，她诱哄参孙也就毫不出奇了。　

　　士 16:15> 从参孙身上，可以总结出哪些择偶的原则？　

　　16:15　参孙因为相信大利拉的谎言受了欺骗。他虽然能杀死狮子，却不能遏止自己的情欲和识破大利拉究竟是何许人也。你怎能使自己不受爱欲与性的逸乐所欺骗呢？（ 1 ）在你被情焰控制以前，先决定爱怎样的人。对方的性格以及对神的信仰，是否与外貌一样的合你心意。（ 2 ）你与配偶在一起的大多数时间，并非只在享鱼水之乐；你终生伴侣的人格、性情及灵命等各方面，都应在仔细考虑之列。（ 3 ）必须忍耐。仔细地观察，常常会发现你在表面上看不出来的真相，甜美的容貌与深深的爱意常常会掩盖人的本性。　

　　士 16:16-17> 我的心很软，最怕别人死缠滥打，遇到这种事该怎么处理？　

　　16:16-17　大利拉不住地问参孙大力的秘密。三番五次地死缠不休，令他不胜其烦而吐露秘密。这是他让自己在疲劳轰炸求问之下，第二次忍受不住而回答（ 14:17 ）。但这怎能成为不顺服神的藉口？不管人怎样有魅力，或是善于说服，不要让任何人劝服你做错事。　

　　士 16:19> 英雄难过美人关，人如何能胜过情欲的诱惑？　

　　16:19　大利拉是个口蜜腹剑的女人，她冷静狡狯，戏弄参孙于掌股之间，假意说爱他，实际上图谋本身的利益。参孙怎么能笨到这样的地步？大利拉有四次取了他的巧，占他的便宜。即使他不明白第一、第二次所经历的事之后果，总应当明白第四次的处境。我们认为参孙愚昧，但我们本身岂不也是常受动听的话欺骗，屈从于错误信仰的试探吗？你应当求神帮助，使你能分辨真假，而不至于受人欺骗。　

　　士 16:21> 一失足成千古恨──参孙的一生就是最好的借镜，我今日的抉择应建基于什么之上？　

　　16:21　参孙本来是大能的勇士，如今变成奴隶。非利士人与其杀他，不如剜了他的眼睛，叫他在狱中推磨、羞辱他。他现在有充分的时间来回想，大利拉的美色是否值得令他余生受尽羞辱。　

　　神虽然没有完全放弃参孙（ 16:28-30 ），但并没有改变他的抉择以及严重的后果。我们可以选择与神亲近，或是偏行己路，但随着抉择必有其后果。参孙并不想被捉拿，但他选择大利拉作配偶，他就不能逃脱自己抉择的后果。　

　　士 16:21> 参孙已和过去不可同日而语，我的人生道路也是在走下坡路吗？　

　　16:21　参孙被剜去双目、毫无力气，被非利士人带到迦萨，度其苦短的余生。迦萨是非利士人五个主要城邑之一，以多井而闻名。它也是南由埃及，北往叙利亚的交通要道。非利士人可能让许多过往的路人参观他们捉获的劲敌参孙。　

　　参孙以前在迦萨拆毁这城的城门，显示他的大力气（ 16:1-3 ），现在在这里成为软弱的标志，这是何等鲜明的对比。　

　　士 16:23-24> 非利士人拜的是什么偶像？　

　　16:23-24　大衮为非利士人主要的神，司五谷及收成。他们为它造了许多庙宇，在那里敬拜并且杀人献祭。这个庙也是当地的娱乐中心。现代人多去戏院，那时非利士人也常群集在本地庙宇之中。他们坐在庙宇的平台上，观看下面的院子。他们常常看到的，是对囚犯施苦刑与羞辱。　

　　由于非利士人制伏了以色列人，他们就以为自己的神大衮胜过以色列人的神耶和华。但是他们将神的约柜掳来，放在大衮庙里的时候，这偶像大衮便倒下跌断了头和两手（参撒上 5:1-7 ）。神的力量人无法衡量，也远胜于人的力量。　

　　士 16:28-30> 我已经很久没有听神的话了，我现在祷告，祂会听吗？　

　　16:28-30　参孙的过去虽乏善可陈，神仍垂听他的祷告，毁灭异教的庙宇和参拜偶像之人。祂仍然爱他，喜欢垂听他悔改认罪的祷告，最后一次使用他。犯罪对生活的影响之一，是使我们因觉得有罪而不想祷告。完美高尚的行为，并不是祷告的条件。不要让罪疚感使你停止与神和好。不管你偏离神多久，祂总喜欢立刻垂听你的祷告，使你重新与祂恢复正常的关系。只要你肯回转归向祂，一切的情势皆可以挽救。既然神仍然能在参孙的处境之中动工，祂也一定会在你的处境之中做出值得称颂的事。　

　　参孙与大利拉──《灵修版圣经注释》　

士师记注释　　34．参孙被大利拉欺骗（一六）

　　一六1～3 他管治的末期，参孙不羁的欲望驱使他进到一个妓女的家。那是在非利士人的城迦萨里面。那城的人即使最后能欺哄他们的敌人，不过参孙仍能在半夜起来，拆毁城门的门扇、门框和门闩，扛到希伯伦前的山顶上，约有四十英里的距离。

　　一六4～10 之后，参孙与一个名叫大利拉的非利士妇人相爱。这事公开后，非利士人的首领给她大笔的奖赏，只要她欺哄参孙透露他拥有这么大的力气的秘密。

　　她第一次尝试时，参孙告诉她，若他被七条未干的青绳子捆绑着，就软弱无力。于是她用七条未干的青绳子捆绑他。并建议非利士人这时前来伏击他。不过参孙弄破那些绳，犹如一串麻线。

　　一六11～12 第二次时，大利拉依照参孙的指示，用新绳捆绑他，并警告他非利士人前来杀他的时候快到。可是参孙再次摔断他的捆绑，就如一条线一样。

　　一六13～14 参孙继续玩火，告诉大利拉只要她把头上七条发绺与纬线同织，他便会变得无助。当她唤醒他说非利士人快来捉他时，他将机上的橛子和纬线一齐都拔出来了。

　　一六15～20 大利拉不住地问参孙大力的秘密。三番五次地死缠不休，令他不胜其烦。最后参孙抵受不住了，向大利拉透露他拥有力气的秘密。他的长发不是他力量的源头，却是他作拿细耳人的外在表记——离俗归神。因为他与神的个人关联，令他变得强壮，而并非他的头发。不过如果他的头发被剪除，他便会失去力量。大利拉这时知道，她已得到他的秘密。当他枕着她的膝睡着了，她便叫非利士人进来。其中一人剃去他的头发，他的力量便离开他。

　　麦敬道观察到：“大利拉的大腿比参孙的心还强；一千非利士人做不到的事，却由一个妇人的诱惑作成了。”

　　当参孙……醒来，他尝试使出他的力量，却不知道耶和华已经离开他了。

　　一六21～22 非利士人剜了参孙的眼睛，把他囚在迦萨，强迫他推磨。有人形容这三重堕落为“罪辖制下的捆绑、弄瞎、缠磨”。但是他的头发……慢慢地长起来了。

　　一六23～31 当非利士人的首领为他们的神大衮献大祭时，他们把参孙带出来，以展示他们的神为他们所作的事情。还有，他们强迫他献技来娱乐他们。在宴乐间，参孙抱住托房的那两根柱子，求告耶和华给他力量，然后尽力推倒柱子，使房子倒塌。众人都被杀了。在这惨烈的记载中，参孙死时所杀的人比活着所杀的还多。

　　他一生中时常与非利士人结交，并且抵受不住女色。参孙也与非利士人死在一处，他的尸首与其它尸首混在一起，埋在大衮殿瓦砾下。离俗可让他赢得光荣的死亡。这事教我们严肃的一课，我们不能掉以轻心。失去离俗（成圣）使人失去力量，最终是败坏。让我们的肢体服从罪，是迈向自取灭亡。参孙的躯体由他亲戚搬回但的境内，并葬在那里。

士师记

士师记第十六章

16：1　迦萨为非利士人五个重要城邑之一，靠地中海岸，接近埃及地。参孙为何去迦萨未有说明。迦萨距他的家乡琐拉约60公里。非利士人希望等参孙精疲力竭，昏昏熟睡时下手。故说“等到天亮”（2节）。

16：3　希伯仑位于巴勒斯坦南部高地，距迦萨约60公里，二者间大半为山路。古时城门为木制，木上包铁，以防敌人火攻。把城门扛到犹大的主城希伯仑，或为给曾捆绑他以取悦非利士的犹大族人一个警告。

16：４　大利拉有“奉献”之意，所住的梭烈谷就在参孙家乡附近，这妇人可能是庙妓，奉献给了赐子女之神的迦南女子，非利士人须用银两来诱她。

16：5　“一千一百舍客勒银子”约为13公斤，可说是重赏。非利士首领指五城的王（参3：3注），每人都答允给这妇人一笔大钱，希望取得参孙力量的秘密，好捉住折磨他至死。这笔钱为米迦给利未人年金的110倍，毋怪对大利拉有如彼吸引力（参17：10）。　

16：17-21　参孙力量的源头不是头发。头发只是一个象征，他与神的内在关系才是力量的所在。参孙违反已起的誓，让一个女人把象征他自母腹就已献给神的头发剃掉，神离开了他，力气也离开了他。

迦萨是参孙曾大显威风的非利士人的大城（1-3节）。推磨是女奴的工作（参9：53；出11：5）。令参孙推磨，当为极大的羞辱。

16：23　大衮是农神。非利士人除了拜迦南人的神巴力等等外，还有自己的神大衮。

16：25-26　由一个童子牵着当年大勇士出来表演，这种“戏耍”极尽侮辱之能事。

16：27　非利士人的这所房子是座神庙，庙内中央有个表演场，四周环以看台，看台上有平顶盖，下面坐着权贵政要，平顶上也可站人。这种平台屋顶用巨大木柱上架横梁建成。木柱安置在石基上。参孙所站的“两柱之间”，或为建筑主柱。他站在那里，大家可以见到。

16：28　这是参孙一生发自内心深处、痛悔前非的祈祷。他一口气用了三个名字呼求神：“主”、“耶和华”、“神”。他已觉悟到力量的来源是神自己。他的祷告得到垂听，重获力量，能把木柱从石墩上推开，庙顶失去支持，倒塌下来。考古学家在此城发现的古庙遗址中，有一对相距极近的柱墩。

16：30　从14：19；15：8，15等节来看，参孙在此之前杀死非利士人逾千，故庙中死的起码有一千人。

16：31　参孙一生极富戏剧性。他的性格异乎常人，天使宣告他的出生（13：2-21），终生为拿细耳人（参民6章；士13：5），但因肉体的情欲玷污了拿细耳人分别为圣的身份。神召他为以色列人的士师，充满神力，但他不守本分，最后变成阶下囚。他最可贵的地方是对神的信心（来11：32）。最后痛悟前非，宁捐弃生命，也不叫神的名受到羞辱。
