1:2 所羅門吩咐以色列眾人,就是千夫長、百夫長、審判官、首領與族長都來。 Then Solomon spoke to all Israel--to the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, to the judges and to all the leaders in Israel, the heads of families--
1:3 所羅門和會眾都往基遍的邱壇去,因那裏有 神的會幕,就是耶和華僕人摩西在曠野所製造的。 and Solomon and the whole assembly went to the high place at Gibeon, for God's Tent of Meeting was there, which Moses the LORD's servant had made in the desert. 1:4 只是 神的約櫃,大衛已經從基列‧耶琳搬到他所預備的地方,因他曾在耶路撒冷為約櫃支搭了帳幕, Now David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim to the place he had prepared for it, because he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem. 1:5 並且戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列所造的銅壇也在基遍耶和華的會幕前。所羅門和會眾都就近壇前。 But the bronze altar that Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made was in Gibeon in front of the tabernacle of the LORD; so Solomon and the assembly inquired of him there. 1:6 所羅門上到耶和華面前會幕的銅壇那裏,獻一千犧牲為燔祭。 Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it. 1:7 當夜, 神向所羅門顯現,對他說:「你願我賜你甚麼,你可以求。」 That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, <<Ask for whatever you want me to give you.>> 1:8 所羅門對 神說:「你曾向我父大衛大施慈愛,使我接續他作王。 Solomon answered God, <<You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. 1:9 耶和華 神啊,現在求你成就向我父大衛所應許的話;因你立我作這民的王,他們如同地上塵沙那樣多。 Now, LORD God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth. 1:10 求你賜我智慧聰明,我好在這民前出入;不然,誰能判斷這眾多的民呢?」 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?>> 1:11 神對所羅門說:「我已立你作我民的王。你既有這心意,並不求資財、豐富、尊榮,也不求滅絕那恨你之人的性命,又不求大壽數,只求智慧聰明好判斷我的民; God said to Solomon, <<Since this is your heart's desire and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, 1:12 我必賜你智慧聰明,也必賜你資財、豐富、尊榮。在你以前的列王都沒有這樣,在你以後也必沒有這樣的。」 therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, riches and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.>> 1:13 於是,所羅門從基遍邱壇會幕前回到耶路撒冷,治理以色列人。 Then Solomon went to Jerusalem from the high place at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting. And he reigned over Israel. 1:14 所羅門聚集戰車馬兵,有戰車一千四百輛,馬兵一萬二千名,安置在屯車的城邑和耶路撒冷,就是王那裏。 Solomon accumulated chariots and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses, 1:14 Or ((charioteers)) which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem. 1:15 王在耶路撒冷使金銀多如石頭,香柏木多如高原的桑樹。 The king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar as plentiful as sycamore-fig trees in the foothills. 1:16 所羅門的馬是從埃及帶來的,是王的商人一群一群按著定價買來的。 Solomon's horses were imported from Egypt 1:16 Or possibly ((Muzur,)) a region in Cilicia; also in verse 17 and from Kue-- 1:16 Probably Cilicia the royal merchants purchased them from Kue. 1:17 他們從埃及買來的車,每輛價銀七百舍客勒,馬每匹一百五十舍客勒。赫人諸王和亞蘭諸王所買的車馬,也是按這價值經他們手買來的。 They imported a chariot from Egypt for six hundred shekels 1:17 That is, about 15 pounds (about 7 kilograms) of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. 1:17 That is, about 3 3/4 pounds (about 1.7 kilograms) They also exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and of the Arameans.

三月廿一日 「照著你們的信給你們成全了罷。」馬太福音九章29節 「禱告透切」的意思就是禱告到完全的信心裏去;禱告到還在禱告的時候就已經有了一種把握:覺得我們的禱告已蒙垂聽,已蒙悅納了;禱告到事情還沒有實現之先,已經得著了所求的。 讓我們記得世上任何環境都不能攔阻神的話應驗,所以讓我們堅信祂的話沒有改變的可能,雖然世界一直在改變。神要我們單信衪的話,不用別的證實或憑據,然後祂要照著我們信給我們成全。 事情終會實現, 祂有過應許在先; 祂說, 「不撇下你」(來十三5) 神永遠信守諾言。(林後一20) 古代信徒的禱告,像放在銀行櫃檯上的支票一樣,立刻可以兌取現金。 ─安德生 「神說……事就這樣成了。」(創一9)

March 21 "According to your faith be it unto you."(Matt. 9:29.) PRAYING through" might be defined as praying one's way into full faith, emerging while yet praying into the assurance that one has been accepted and heard, so that one becomes actually aware of receiving, by firmest anticipation and in advance of the event, the thing for which he asks. Let us remember that no earthly circumstances can hinder the fulfillment of His Word if we look steadfastly at the immutability of that Word and not at the uncertainty of this ever-changing world. God would have us believe His Word without other confirmation, and then he is ready to give us "according to our faith." "When once his Word is past, When He hath said, `I will,' (Heb. 13:5) The thing shall come at last; God keeps His promise still." (2 Cor. 1:20) The prayer of the Pentecostal age was like a cheque to be paid in coin over the counter. ─Sir R. Anderson. "And God said....and it was so." (Gen. 1:9.)

三月廿一日 代禱的恩典 「你們要恆切禱告,在此儆醒感恩;也要為我們禱告。」歌羅西書四章2—3節 沒有其他的服事比代禱工作使我們與神更近,更能進入祂的愛;也沒有甚麼比我們能在神胸前為周圍的人傾心吐意更使我們像神;也沒有甚麼比一生為著別人禱告,使他們得救,更能使我們與偉大的代禱者耶穌基督連結更深、更經歷祂的大能與內住的聖靈。我們從基督在客西馬尼「阿爸父」的呼聲中,得知聖靈的大能如何將這豐滿意義呼入我們心內。當我們為著教會或在黑暗中的外邦人代禱時,這最能幫助我們證實神在祂的話中顯為何等有能——信實。當我們在代禱中把自己當作活祭獻上,並單一地懇求神來答應我們的禱告,將天上的窗戶打開,傾下祂豐富的祝福,那麼人就得到榮耀神,也將達到神最高的定命,而神的國度也將來臨。 沒有甚麼比天天繼續與神的兒女在禱告中的交通中,更能使我們明白,並經歷基督身體那個活的連合,以及連合所產生之不可抗拒的能力。這個禱告就是要神興起憐憫錫安,使她成為坐在黑暗中百姓的火光和生命。哦,弟兄們,我們何其不明白,因著我們不熱心代禱,我們所喪失的是何其多!我們讓神的靈,就是恩典和代求的靈來管理我們的全人時,有甚麼是我們不能為自己,為世界得到的呢! 基督在天上活著是禱告,祂與父之間的談話完全是禱告,為祂的百姓懇求並接受豐滿的聖靈。沒有甚麼比禱告更能使神喜悅了。我們豈不該學習相信,當我們禱告加多時,天上至高的福氣要向我們開啟嗎? 禱告: 可稱頌的父啊!求您傾倒懇求和代禱的靈在您的百姓身上——奉主耶穌的名。阿們。

三月廿一日 是對祂感覺興趣呢?或是與祂聯合呢? 「我已經與基督同釘十字架。」加拉太書二章20節 簽定罪的死刑,是靈性不能避免的需要。將一切情感的印象和智力的信仰,變成一種道德的判決,以裁製罪性,那便是宣佈我的權利的死刑。保羅說:「我已經與基督同釘十字架」並不是說:「我已決意仿傚耶穌基督,」或說:「我要盡力隨從祂,」卻是說:「我已經在祂的死裡與祂同歸於一。」當我決斷這種道德的決定,也實行這種決斷時,那麼基督在十字架上為我作成的一切,就會成就在我的裡面。自由的將自己委託於神,就是給聖靈的機會將耶穌基督的聖潔,灌輸到我的裡面。 「然而我活著……」個性雖然存在,可是支配性格的幹流,是極度的改變了。同樣人體雖是存在,可是自私的權利,是毀棄了。「並且我如今肉體活著……。」──不是我想活著,也不是我求活著,但我現在活著的生命,是在必死的身體裡,是人能見著的生命──「我因神的兒子的信心活著。」這種信仰不是保羅信耶穌基督的信仰,卻是神的兒子灌輸給他的信仰──「神兒子的信仰。」再不是因信仰而信仰,卻是跳出了一切人意之外的信仰,就是與神的兒子所聯合的信仰。

三月廿一日 「你們要將一切的憂慮卸給神……」彼得前書五章7節 有一些事是神無法忍耐的事,所以我們必須遠離那些事。先知尼希米不與參巴拉談他所處理的事和他的懼怕,他單單拒絕和參巴拉接觸,卻以聖殿為避難所專心地禱告。 生命中也有很多我們不該理的事,如果我們放手不做那些不必要的事,從早到晚專心做那些需要我們注意的事,我們會發現,生命就像一條簡單的線。但我們通常把這條線串上成千、想像的珠子,讓憂慮和恐慌變成我們的重擔。其實此時我們只管更依靠神,就不會被這些事弄得心神不定。 有一個可愛的老姊妹在回憶她的一生時曾說:「在我的生命中,我經歷過如山似海的麻煩,其中很多是那些從未曾發生過的憂慮。」她所說的真是有智慧。 像一隻小鳥在巢中, 我們該在神的翼下躲著, 全心地依靠、住在祂裡面。 讓我們把自己的翅膀收起來, 單單地依靠、住在祂裡面, 因為神會成就最好的一切。
