1 Chronicles 11:1-9
All Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “We are your own flesh and blood. In the past, even while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel on their military campaigns. And the Lord your God said to you, ‘You will shepherd my people Israel, and you will become their ruler.’
When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, he made a covenant with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel, as the Lord had promised through Samuel.
David then took up residence in the fortress, and so it was called the City of David. He built up the city around it, from the terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city. And David became more and more powerful because the Lord Almighty was with him.
The story of David's reign occupies the rest of the 1 Chronicle. It is a selective history compared with 2 Samuel, missing out David's adultery with Bathsheba, the rape of Tanar and the family dissension which culminated in Absalon's rebellion. But if the Chronicler omits, he also adds to what we know, particularly the detailed plans and preparations for building the Temple.
Why?
David became king and more powerful because the Lord Almighty was with him.
What we should do is going with the Lord, then everything will be wonderful.
政權轉移似乎很順利。歷代誌將其中的困難省略,希望歸回的猶太人不再分支派,同心協力建立神的國、神的殿。
大衛在耶和華面前與他們立約,表示君王對百姓有義務,好像現在總統就職宣誓,遵守法律...
此事對君王的觀念在聖經中看到,對神要交帳,對人要盡責任。
不在乎是否耶布斯人,在乎是否與神同在。歷代誌作者表達所有抵抗神的應許都是枉然!
How?
Follow the way of the Lord and submitted me to the Lord! Let the Lord be my king.
