Moab Measured For Death Or Life

經文: 撒母耳記下 8:11-14 大衛王將這些器皿和他治服各國所得來的金銀都分別為聖，獻給耶和華，就是從亞蘭、摩押、亞捫、非利士、亞瑪力人所得來的，以及從瑣巴王利合的兒子哈大底謝所掠之物。大衛在鹽谷擊殺了亞蘭（或作：以東，見詩篇六十篇詩題）一萬八千人回來，就得了大名；又在以東全地設立防營，以東人就都歸服大衛。大衛無論往那裡去，耶和華都使他得勝。
默想: 在大衛王的時代，國與國之間，是無情的戰爭與殺戮來決定兩國之勝與敗。耶和華祝福大衛王，也是按照當代文化的勝敗模式來進行。一直到主耶穌的時代，主耶穌才提出一個與當代完全不一樣的人際關係倫理，主耶穌教導他的門徒，要愛你們的仇敵，為那逼迫你們的禱告。大衛王把他戰勝敵國所掠奪的金銀，都拿來分別為聖，獻給耶和華，耶和華也接受大衛王這種的奉獻。由此可見，上帝對於人間倫理的啟示，似乎是採取漸進的模式。當我們在討論有關基督教倫理的議題時，是否也要考慮當代倫理的情況，來尋求上帝的帶領？
題目: 信實的耶和華守承諾，保守大衛堅立以色列王國。試想，你也曾體驗這位信實的上主嗎？
8:1 此後，大衛攻打非利士人，把他們治服，從他們手下奪取了京城的權柄（原文是母城的嚼環）；

8:2 又攻打摩押人，使他們躺臥在地上，用繩量一量：量二繩的殺了，量一繩的存留。摩押人就歸服大衛，給他進貢。
