 令人痛心的事大衛所行的這事，耶和華甚不喜悅。-撒母耳記下11章27節
一件令人痛心的犯罪事件終於曝光了。有好些女性被有權勢的男人性侵，報紙一再刊登這則新聞。連我向來所景仰的兩位男士也證實涉及性侵醜聞，這令我萬分沮喪，不禁感嘆連教會也無法避免。 大衛王的罪行最後也曝光了。撒母耳記下11章記載，日近黃昏，大衛「看見一個婦人沐浴」（2節），就想擁有她。即使拔示巴是大衛的臣僕烏利亞的妻子，大衛仍與她同房。拔示巴有了身孕，大衛就以卑鄙的手段，命約押把烏利亞調到戰事最猛烈的前線，讓烏利亞戰死沙場。 撒母耳詳實記載大衛對拔示巴和烏利亞的濫權，好讓我們清楚知道所有的罪行都無法隱藏，都要面對審判。 這些令人痛心的事件都一再提醒我們，現今世代也有許多濫權的事。大衛雖是「合[上帝]心意的人」（使徒行傳13章22節），但仍必須為自己的行為負責。願我們也能為掌權者祈求，讓他們也能為行使權力或濫權負責。 上帝的憐憫，使人得到救贖。接下來，我們在撒母耳記下看到大衛的憂傷和悔改（12章13節）。感謝上帝，即使我們犯罪跌倒，只要願意悔改，仍能靠上帝的恩典脫離死亡，得享美好的生命。 親愛的上帝，世上有許多令人痛心的事，
我自己也有許多軟弱，求祢親自光照並醫治我們！ 為掌權者禱告，為何極其重要？耶穌如何成為行使權柄的典範？
靈糧透視拔示巴的丈夫烏利亞被列入大衛的勇士名單，且明確指出他是赫人（撒母耳記下11章3節，23章39節）。赫人是迦南的一個部族，聖經一直把這個部族與以色列進入應許之地時要征服的各民族列在一起（出埃及記3章8節）。舊約中還提到幾位重要的赫人，例如大衛的士兵亞希米勒（撒母耳記上26章6節），還有以弗崙，亞伯拉罕從他那裡購買了一塊地，在其中的洞穴埋葬妻子撒拉（創世記23章2-20節）。 A Sad StoryThe thing David had done displeased the Lord. 2 Samuel 11:27 Painfully, the evil that has long been swept under the rug—sexual abuse of many women by men who had power over them—has come to light. Enduring headline after headline, my heart sank when I heard proof of abuse by two men I admired. The church has not been immune to these issues. King David faced his own reckoning. Samuel tells us that one afternoon, David “saw a woman bathing” (2 Samuel 11:2). And David wanted her. Though Bathsheba was the wife of one his loyal soldiers (Uriah), David took her anyway. When Bathsheba told David she was pregnant, he panicked. And in a despicable act of treachery, David arranged for Joab to have Uriah die on the battlefield. There is no hiding David’s abuse of power against Bathsheba and Uriah. Here it is in full color, Samuel ensuring we see it. We must deal with our evil. Also, we must hear these stories because they caution us against the abuse of power in our times. This was David, “a man after [God’s] own heart” (Acts 13:22), but also a man who needed to be held accountable for his actions. May we also prayerfully hold leaders accountable for how they use or abuse power. By God’s grace, redemption is possible. If we read further, we encounter David’s profound repentance (2 Samuel 12:13). Thankfully, hard hearts can still turn from death to life. |
