旧约 - 历代记上（1 Chronicles）第26章

The divisions of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.

Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth and Eliehoenai the seventh.

Obed-Edom also had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sacar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,

Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh and Peullethai the eighth. (For God had blessed Obed-Edom.)

His son Shemaiah also had sons, who were leaders in their father's family because they were very capable men.

The sons of Shemaiah: Othni, Rephael, Obed and Elzabad; his relatives Elihu and Semakiah were also able men.

All these were descendants of Obed-Edom; they and their sons and their relatives were capable men with the strength to do the work--descendants of Obed-Edom, 62 in all.

Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, who were able men--18 in all.

Hosah the Merarite had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him the first),

Hilkiah the second, Tabaliah the third and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and relatives of Hosah were 13 in all.

These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their chief men, had duties for ministering in the temple of the LORD, just as their relatives had.

Lots were cast for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.

The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him.

The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-Edom, and the lot for the storehouse fell to his sons.

The lots for the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the upper road fell to Shuppim and Hosah. Guard was alongside of guard:

There were six Levites a day on the east, four a day on the north, four a day on the south and two at a time at the storehouse.

As for the court to the west, there were four at the road and two at the court itself.

These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.

Their fellow Levites were in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries for the dedicated things.

The descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and who were heads of families belonging to Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli,

the sons of Jehieli, Zetham and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries of the temple of the LORD.

From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites and the Uzzielites:

Shubael, a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the officer in charge of the treasuries.

His relatives through Eliezer: Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zicri his son and Shelomith his son.

Shelomith and his relatives were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, and by the other army commanders.

Some of the plunder taken in battle they dedicated for the repair of the temple of the LORD.

And everything dedicated by Samuel the seer and by Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner and Joab son of Zeruiah, and all the other dedicated things were in the care of Shelomith and his relatives.

From the Izharites: Kenaniah and his sons were assigned duties away from the temple, as officials and judges over Israel.

From the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his relatives--seventeen hundred able men--were responsible in Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the LORD and for the king's service.

As for the Hebronites, Jeriah was their chief according to the genealogical records of their families. In the fortieth year of David's reign a search was made in the records, and capable men among the Hebronites were found at Jazer in Gilead.

Jeriah had twenty-seven hundred relatives, who were able men and heads of families, and King David put them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and for the affairs of the king.

历代志上第廿六章　　第 26 章　

　　代上 26:1> 在教会中经常要做些毫不起眼的事情，我觉得……　

　　26:1　圣殿守门的利未人共有四千名（ 23:4-5 ），他们也做其他工作。他们的任务包括：（ 1 ）查看每天使用的器物，确保还原。（ 2 ）储存、供应、安排给祭司与献祭者的食物。（ 3 ）看管器物。（ 4 ）调和每天所烧之香。（ 5 ）数算人民所献上的礼物。（关于圣殿守门的详情，参 9:17-18 的注释）　

　　代上 26:5> 在经济有困难的家庭，如何看出儿女是神赐的福？　

　　26:5　神赐福给俄别以东。从人类的整个历史中可以看到，子女的地位常有不同，他们有的被人极其看重，有的却被虐待与欺骗。但是圣经的看法是一贯不变的──儿女是神所赐的福分，是耶和华所赐的产业。神从来没有说儿女是父母的重担（参诗 127:3-5 ；可 10:13-15 ）。　

　　代上 26:27> 你对神的奉献是出于乐意，还是不得已的呢？　

　　26:27　战利品属于得胜的军队自是理所当然的，但是有些军人将战时所夺的财物其中一部分分别为圣、送入圣殿，以表示他们对神全心全意的奉献。我们应当效法这班战士，诚心献上自己所能献的，而不是出于规定才献上。你要对神作喜乐和爱的回应。──《灵修版圣经注释》　

历代志上　　注释　　　　　　

　　二十六 1-19 守门的人　

　　这一组名单基本上是 1 至 3 节、 9 至 11 节和 19 节组成。利未的三大家族中（六 1 ），此处只出现了哥辖的子孙（ 1 节，根据六 22 ，可拉是哥辖的子孙）和米拉利的子孙（ 10 节）；第 1 节的亚萨并非二十五章 1 节那着名的亚萨，因后者是革顺的子孙（六 39-43 ）；他是九章 19 节的以比雅撒。可能有一个革顺族守门者的名单，但却找到俄别以东的家族（ 4-8 节）。作者没有为这个突出的人物提供一个利未家谱，但若每一次提到俄别以东，所指的都是同一人的话，在十五章 18 节可见他是个利未人，他有资格列入这名单内，并领受第 5 节和十三章 14 节那特别的祝福（并参看十五 17-25 之注释）。　

　　俄别以东的子孙可能在戴维时代（即建殿之前多年）已是作守门的（十五 17-18 ），但在建殿后，即最少是所罗门时代，他的名字也在这里出现（ 15 节）；九章 17 至 32 节（给我们详述了守门者实际的职务），更在 4 个世纪后圣殿重建时，列出相同的名字。这都是由于作者把各时代的数据重迭起来，为神子民的生活和敬拜构造一幅有深度的图画。其中一个守门者有精明之谋士的美誉（ 14 节），作者又提及王宫及其它守门者在值班（ 18 节「游廊」的意义不得而知），暗示了无论作者如何把各部分巧妙地拼合在一起，不同部分仍是真实和准确的。　

　　二十六 20 至二十七 34 各部之长官　

　　二十三章 4 至 5 节中 4 个利未人之部分，是按着人数来列出的。详细名单的次序却有所不同，名单是从中央往外逐步列出，即圣所中的人员，然后是乐师、守门的人，现在最后列出文武百官，有些负责圣殿外的事务（二十六 29 ）；他们包括全以色列的官吏，有负责俗务的，也有负责宗教事宜的（二十六 30 、 32 ）。第二十七章的名单更是在利未支派以外。　

　　二十六章 20 至 32 节谈及掌管「府库」，或贮物室的官员（ 20 节；跟二十七 25 的用字相同）。有些似乎是圣所用品的管理者（二十六 21-22 ），像在九章 28 至 32 节所记；有些则负责管理其它财物，如战时的掠物（二十六 24-28 ）。其余的人的职责是司法（二十六 29 ）或财政（若二十六 30 、 32 暗示有宗教和世俗的税项）。这图画也是从不同时代剪裁而成的：二十六章 30 至 32 节描述的辽阔土地，是属于早期的疆界；利未人参与行政则是后期的事（代下十九 8-11 ）。当以色列历史被看为一个整体，我们才能掌握个中精髓，所以只有把所有重要人物（甚至是扫罗，二十六 28 ）聚合起来，我们才能掌握不同的人物和角色。　

　　二十六章 29 至 32 节离开了宗教进入世俗的范畴，也论及不属利未的事情──一个军队的名单（二十七 1-15 ）。这也是最完整时的以色列。众军长是历史中最出色的领袖楷模，他们就是十一章 10 至 31 节戴维的 12 位勇士，而其中的数字可能是理想中的军力── 12 班，各有 24 「千人」，叫人想起 24 班祭司，特别是 24 班各有 12 人的乐师（二十四 7-18 ，二十五 6-31 ）。因此，虽然亚撒黑在戴维成为全以色列的王以前已逝世，但名字也在一班之首（二十七 7 ；撒下二 18-23 ），而这军队的组织是较似所罗门时代的风格。　

　　二十七章 16 至 24 节列出之官长，可能负责二十七章 23 至 24 节的人口普查。此处提到 12 个「支派」（若玛拿西算是一个支派），虽然这是十分奇怪的名单；只能猜测为何迦得和亚设被删去，而亚伦则被加上。这次数点民数，可能就是二十一章 1 至 8 节所记述那一次；那里的记载，不一定如一些人的看法，是跟这记载互相冲突的。　

　　二十七章 25 至 31 节是另一组 12 人的名单，这次所记的，是朝中的大臣──文官的首领。历代志作者又再乐于记下参与事奉以色列之神的非以色列人（阿比勒和雅悉，二十七 30-31 ）。　

　　最后是戴维的内阁（二十七 32-34 ），包括一些身分难辨的人，好像他的「叔叔」乔纳单，和其它在别处已熟悉的人（十八 14-17 ；撒下十五至十七章）。这些名单中着名的人物和巧妙的整理，再次告诉我们，作者的用意是展示一幅神子民的理想图画。尤其是第二十三至二十七章，所显出的是「戴维」典型的耶路撒冷圣殿和以色列王国的组织，这正是神所拣选的王理应达至的光景，也是日后传给其后各代的组织架构。
