經文: 撒母耳記上 19:24 他就脫了衣服，在撒母耳面前受感說話，一晝一夜露體躺臥。因此有句俗語說：「掃羅也列在先知中嗎？」
默想: 這段短短的故事讓我們看到聖靈很奇妙的工作。神的靈已經離開掃羅了，並且有惡靈從耶和華那裡來，附身在掃羅身上，讓掃羅身心不得安寧，大衛被邀請前來用音樂替掃羅作驅魔趕鬼的侍奉，讓掃羅得以享安寧。但是，掃羅想要謀殺大衛的心意已定。當場就掄槍要把大衛釘在牆上殺死大衛。大衛逃回家裡，掃羅派人包圍他的房子，打算隔天一早就將大衛殺死，想不到掃羅的二女兒米甲，卻連夜將大衛從窗戶縋下去逃命。大衛逃到撒母耳那裡，掃羅連續派了三隊人馬前往撒母耳那裡要捉拿大衛。想不到三隊人馬竟然在撒母耳那裡都受聖靈感動而說話。掃羅乾脆自己親身出馬，去到撒母耳那裡要捉拿大衛，那裡知道，掃羅自己也被聖靈感動，不只說話，還脫光衣服。在這裡我們看到了聖靈一個很特別的工作，就是感動要殺害別人的人，充滿他們，讓他們被聖靈充滿而說話，因而殺人的念頭就停止了。感謝主，聖靈這種奇妙的作為。
題目: 雖然掃羅定意要殺大衛，但卻無法破壞上主計畫。上主安排拯救大衛的人選，竟然是掃羅的兒子約拿單及女兒米甲。試問，在人之常情的心理因素下，你會相信這位想要殺你的仇敵的兒女，竟是上主所選拯救你的器皿嗎？
19:1 掃羅對他兒子約拿單和眾臣僕說，要殺大衛；掃羅的兒子約拿單卻甚喜愛大衛。
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.
19:2 約拿單告訴大衛說：「我父掃羅想要殺你，所以明日早晨你要小心，到一個僻靜地方藏身。
And Jonathan told David, "Saul my father seeks to kill you; therefore take heed to yourself in the morning, stay in a secret place and hide yourself;
19:3 我就出到你所藏的田裡，站在我父親旁邊與他談論。我看他情形怎樣，我必告訴你。」
and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak to my father about you; and if I learn anything I will tell you."
19:4 約拿單向他父親掃羅替大衛說好話，說：「王不可得罪王的僕人大衛；因為他未曾得罪你，他所行的都與你大有益處。
And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Let not the king sin against his servant David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have been of good service to you;
19:5 他拚命殺那非利士人，耶和華為以色列眾人大行拯救；那時你看見，甚是歡喜，現在為何無故要殺大衛，流無辜人的血，自己取罪呢？」
for he took his life in his hand and he slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced; why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?"
19:6 掃羅聽了約拿單的話，就指著永生的耶和華起誓說：「我必不殺他。」
And Saul hearkened to the voice of Jonathan; Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, he shall not be put to death."
19:7 約拿單叫大衛來，把這一切事告訴他，帶他去見掃羅。他就仍然侍立在掃羅面前。
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as before.
19:8 此後又有爭戰的事。大衛出去與非利士人打仗，大大殺敗他們，他們就在他面前逃跑。
And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and made a great slaughter among them, so that they fled before him.
19:9 從耶和華那裡來的惡魔又降在掃羅身上（掃羅手裡拿槍坐在屋裡），大衛就用手彈琴。
Then an evil spirit from the LORD came upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing the lyre.
19:10 掃羅用槍想要刺透大衛，釘在牆上；他卻躲開，掃羅的槍刺入牆內。當夜大衛逃走，躲避了。
And Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear; but he eluded Saul, so that he struck the spear into the wall. And David fled, and escaped.
19:11 掃羅打發人到大衛的房屋那裡窺探他，要等到天亮殺他。大衛的妻米甲對他說：「你今夜若不逃命，明日你要被殺。」
That night Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, that he might kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
19:12 於是米甲將大衛從窗戶裡縋下去；大衛就逃走，躲避了。
So Michal let David down through the window; and he fled away and escaped.
19:13 米甲把家中的神像放在床上，頭枕在山羊毛裝的枕頭上，用被遮蓋。
Michal took an image and laid it on the bed and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
19:14 掃羅打發人去捉拿大衛，米甲說：「他病了。」
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, "He is sick."
19:15 掃羅又打發人去看大衛，說：「當連床將他抬來，我好殺他。」
Then Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."
19:16 使者進去，看見床上有神像，頭枕在山羊毛裝的枕頭上。
And when the messengers came in, behold, the image was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
19:17 掃羅對米甲說：「你為甚麼這樣欺哄我，放我仇敵逃走呢？」米甲回答說：「他對我說：『你放我走，不然我要殺你。』」
Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal answered Saul, "He said to me, `Let me go; why should I kill you?'"
19:18 大衛逃避，來到拉瑪見撒母耳，將掃羅向他所行的事述說了一遍。他和撒母耳就往拿約去居住。
Now David fled and escaped, and he came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt at Nai'oth.
19:19 有人告訴掃羅，說大衛在拉瑪的拿約。
And it was told Saul, "Behold, David is at Nai'oth in Ramah."
19:20 掃羅打發人去捉拿大衛。去的人見有一班先知都受感說話，撒母耳站在其中監管他們；打發去的人也受 神的靈感動說話。
Then Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
19:21 有人將這事告訴掃羅，他又打發人去，他們也受感說話。掃羅第三次打發人去，他們也受感說話。
When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
19:22 然後掃羅自己往拉瑪去，到了西沽的大井，問人說：「撒母耳和大衛在哪裡呢？」有人說：「在拉瑪的拿約。」
Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is in Secu; and he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Behold, they are at Nai'oth in Ramah."
19:23 他就往拉瑪的拿約去。 神的靈也感動他，一面走一面說話，直到拉瑪的拿約。
And he went from there to Nai'oth in Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied, until he came to Nai'oth in Ramah.
19:24 他就脫了衣服，在撒母耳面前受感說話，一晝一夜露體躺臥。因此有句俗語說：「掃羅也列在先知中嗎？」
And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel, and lay naked all that day and all that night. Hence it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Jonathan, Saul's son, delighted much in David.
19:2 約拿單告訴大衛說：「我父掃羅想要殺你，所以明日早晨你要小心，到一個僻靜地方藏身。

and I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will speak to my father about you; and if I learn anything I will tell you."
19:4 約拿單向他父親掃羅替大衛說好話，說：「王不可得罪王的僕人大衛；因為他未曾得罪你，他所行的都與你大有益處。

1) 「約拿單愛大衛，如同愛自己的性命，就與他結盟」。(撒上 18:3)
回覆刪除2) 「掃羅見耶和華與大衛同在，又知道女兒米甲愛大衛」，(撒上 18:28)
3) 「掃羅對他兒子約拿單和眾臣僕說，要殺大衛；掃羅的兒子約拿單卻甚喜愛大衛」。(撒上 19:1)
4) 「掃羅打發人到大衛的房屋那裡窺探他，要等到天亮殺他。大衛的妻米甲對他說：「你今夜若不逃命，明日你要被殺」。(撒上 19:11)
從撒上18-20章，經文告訴我們：雖然掃羅定意要殺大衛，但卻一直無法得逞。掃羅的兒子約拿單及女兒米甲，居然都是上帝派來，前後數次拯救大衛的人。我們看到約拿單愛大衛，如同愛自己的性命，就與他結盟」「掃羅見耶和華與大衛同在，又知道女兒米甲愛大衛」。約拿單和米甲都愛大衛。 這個「愛」字( אַהֲבָה (ʾahăbâ). Love.)，原文是指神的愛（God’s love），或我們愛神（love God）。同樣的字，它也用在（米甲都愛大衛），是指夫妻之間的愛（v28），同樣這個字( אַהֲבָה (ʾahăbâ). Love.)，也用在（約拿單愛大衛）， 是指朋友之間的Affection （友情）的愛（v3）。可見他們兄妹（約拿單和米甲）都深愛著大衛，這個愛就像神的愛意樣，能遮蓋一切都罪。 -- Alden, R. (1999). 29 אָהֵב. In R. L. Harris, G. L. Archer, Jr. & B. K. Waltke (Eds.), Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament。
因為「愛」的緣故，他們兄妹願意違抗父王掃羅，不顧一切拯救大衛脫離掃羅的魔掌。在撒上20章，我們看到大衛心裡擔心，懷疑約拿單可能最後會把大衛交給掃羅。因此大衛再度提起他與約拿單曾結盟乙事。。。。
求主幫助我們，我們都很軟弱，常常用人的心思來度量他人。在困難的環境中，要持續的仰望神，相信祂必照祂的旨意來幫助我們。上帝的恩典夠我們用的。祂可能用不同的器皿，不同的人或物，在不同的時間，為了我們的益處和我們的需要， 按著祂自己的計劃，時間來成就的。
