西底家行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，是照約雅敬一切所行的。 因此耶和華的怒氣在耶路撒冷和猶大發作，以致將人民從自己面前趕出。 列王紀下 24:19-20 The Lord saw that Zedekiah did bad things, as Jehoiakim had done. All this happened to Jerusalem and to Judah because the Lord was so angry with them. In the end, the Lord sent them away from where he was. Then Zedekiah began to fight against the king of Babylon. 2 […]
王站在柱旁，在耶和華面前立約，要盡心盡性地順從耶和華，遵守他的誡命、法度、律例，成就這書上所記的約言。眾民都服從這約。 …….在約西亞以前沒有王像他盡心、盡性、盡力地歸向耶和華，遵行摩西的一切律法；在他以後也沒有興起一個王像他。 列王紀下 23:3, 25 The king stood in his place in the house of the Lord. He promised, in front of the Lord, that he would obey the covenant. He promised these things: He would serve the Lord and he would obey him. He would try as much as he could to obey the […]
約西亞行耶和華眼中看為正的事，行他祖大衛一切所行的，不偏左右。 ……然而，差遣你們來求問耶和華的猶大王，你們要這樣回覆他說：『耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：至於你所聽見的話， 就是聽見我指着這地和其上的居民所說、要使這地變為荒場、民受咒詛的話，你便心裏敬服，在我面前自卑，撕裂衣服，向我哭泣，因此我應允了你。這是我－耶和華說的。 我必使你平平安安地歸到墳墓到你列祖那裏；我要降與這地的一切災禍，你也不致親眼看見。』」他們就回覆王去了。 列王紀下 22:2, 18-20 The Lord saw that Josiah did what was right. He lived like his ancestor David did. He did not fail to obey the Lord in any way. ……The king of Judah sent you to ask for an answer from the Lord. Give this answer to the king. “The […]
瑪拿西行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法耶和華在以色列人面前趕出的外邦人所行可憎的事。 ……耶和華藉他僕人眾先知說： ……我必棄掉所餘剩的子民，把他們交在仇敵手中，使他們成為一切仇敵擄掠之物； 是因他們自從列祖出埃及直到如今，常行我眼中看為惡的事，惹動我的怒氣。」 列王紀下 21:2, 10, 14-15 The Lord saw that Manasseh did very bad things. He did all the bad things that the people before him in Canaan had done. The Lord had sent those people away before Israel’s people had come into the country. ……So the Lord said by his servants who […]
那時，希西家病得要死。亞摩斯的兒子先知以賽亞去見他，對他說：「耶和華如此說：『你當留遺命與你的家，因為你必死，不能活了。』」 希西家就轉臉朝牆，禱告耶和華說： 「耶和華啊，求你記念我在你面前怎樣存完全的心，按誠實行事，又做你眼中所看為善的。」希西家就痛哭了。 以賽亞出來，還沒有到中院，耶和華的話就臨到他，說： 「你回去告訴我民的君希西家說：耶和華－你祖大衛的上帝如此說：『我聽見了你的禱告，看見了你的眼淚，我必醫治你；到第三日，你必上到耶和華的殿。 我必加增你十五年的壽數，並且我要救你和這城脫離亞述王的手。我為自己和我僕人大衛的緣故，必保護這城。』」 列王紀下 20:1-6 At that time, Hezekiah was very ill. He nearly died. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to Hezekiah. And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord says. “Make everything ready for your son, because you will die. You will not get well again.” […]
我必驚動他的心，他要聽見風聲就歸回本地。我必使他在那裏倒在刀下。』」 ……「所以，耶和華論亞述王如此說：『他必不得來到這城，也不在這裏射箭，不得拿盾牌到城前，也不築壘攻城。 他從哪條路來，必從那條路回去，必不得來到這城。這是耶和華說的。 ……當夜，耶和華的使者出去，在亞述營中殺了十八萬五千人。清早有人起來，一看，都是死屍了。 亞述王西拿基立就拔營回去，住在尼尼微。 一日在他的神尼斯洛廟裏叩拜，他兒子亞得米勒和沙利色用刀殺了他，就逃到亞拉臘地。他兒子以撒哈頓接續他作王。 列王紀下 19:7, 32-33, 35-37 Listen to me! I will put a spirit into the king of Assyria. Then, he will hear a certain report. When he hears it, he will return to his own country. And there, I will cause someone to kill him with a sword.” ’ ……This […]
希西家倚靠耶和華－以色列的上帝，在他前後的猶大列王中沒有一個及他的。 因為他專靠耶和華，總不離開，謹守耶和華所吩咐摩西的誡命。 耶和華與他同在，他無論往何處去盡都亨通。他背叛、不肯事奉亞述王。 列王紀下 18:5-7 Hezekiah believed in the Lord, the God of Israel. None of the other kings of Judah was like him, either before him or after him. He really loved the Lord and he always obeyed him. He obeyed the laws that the Lord had given to Moses. And the Lord helped […]
我－耶和華與你們所立的約你們不可忘記，也不可敬畏別神。 但要敬畏耶和華－你們的上帝，他必救你們脫離一切仇敵的手。」 列王紀下 17:38-39 Do not forget the covenant that I made with you. Do not worship other gods. Always worship the Lord your God. It is he who will save you from the power of all your enemies.’ 2 Kings 17:38-39
何細亞第九年亞述王攻取了撒馬利亞，將以色列人擄到亞述，把他們安置在哈臘與歌散的哈博河邊，並米底亞人的城邑。 這是因以色列人得罪那領他們出埃及地、脫離埃及王法老手的耶和華－他們的上帝，去敬畏別神，列王紀下 17:6-7 When Hoshea had been king of Israel for nearly 9 years, the king of Assyria beat the people in Samaria. He sent many of the people from Israel to Assyria. He caused them to live in Halah, Gozan by the River Habor and in towns in Media. All this happened because the […]
祭司烏利亞照着亞哈斯王從大馬士革送來的圖樣，在亞哈斯王沒有從大馬士革回來之先，建築一座壇。 ……又將耶和華面前的銅壇從耶和華殿和新壇的中間搬到新壇的北邊。 ……亞哈斯王打掉盆座四面鑲着的心子，把盆從座上挪下來，又將銅海從馱海的銅牛上搬下來，放在鋪石地； 又因亞述王的緣故，將耶和華殿為安息日所蓋的廊子和王從外入殿的廊子挪移，圍繞耶和華的殿。 列王紀下 16:11, 14, 17-18 So Uriah the priest built an altar. It was the same as the one in the plans that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. Uriah finished it before King Ahaz returned. ……A bronze altar stood in front of the Lord in his house. It was between the […]
