2 Samuel 13:1-22
Amnon became so obsessed(痴迷) with his sister Tamar that he made himself ill.
Amnon raped her sister Tamar in a dirty way.
Amnon pretended ill and asked his father David let Tamar prepare food for him.
Faced with the appalling rape of his daughter Tarmar by her half-brother Amnon. David, though angry, does nothing at all.
Why?
David married too many wives and has too many sons and daughters, so he does not have the chance to give them a good education. Even he didn't know how is his son behavior.
David makes this mistake for he listened to his son's request without confirm how about the real situation.
–----------------
從此恨進入大衛的家。
你可以求王，…
大衛可以向神求，但是他有權柄，所以不倚靠神。
同樣暗嫩可求王，但是因他有資源，有能力，就照自己方式做。因為這是自己的私慾，即使用犯罪的方法。我想要怎樣就怎樣！
我們常常沒辦法時才求神。
用犯罪方法得到後，卻不喜悅，不滿足。反而是更多的恨。只有從神而來的才有喜樂滿足。因此以後來的是咒詛！神給我們恩典，權柄等是要我們去造就別人。
暗嫩只是要眼前的慾望所蒙蔽。耶穌說荊棘夾住，就是人的慾望。種子在好土，神的道在我們心中的好土，得成長。以掃是如此看重紅豆湯，兩個半支派喜歡約旦河東之地。
只有從神而來的才是祝福與喜樂，憑私慾做的沒有喜樂，只有苦楚，甚至殺身之禍。
How?
Obsess anyone would make him ill, instead we should focus on the Lord always.

Real regret and confess our sins
2 Samuel 12:15-31
“While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept. I thought, ‘Who knows? The Lord may be gracious to me and let the child live.’ But now that he is dead, why should I go on fasting? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and made love to her. She gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. The Lord loved him; and because the Lord loved him, he sent word through Nathan the prophet to name him Jedidiah.
Meanwhile, Joab fought against Rabbah of the Ammonites and captured the royal citadel. Now muster the rest of the troops and besiege the city and capture it. Otherwise, I will take the city, and it will be named after me.” So David mustered the entire army and went to Rabbah, and attacked and captured it.
God forgives him, but he is punished and despite David's anguished prayer the child dies. Nor is there yet any resurrection hopes to comfort him in his loss.
But this is not the end of the relationship with Bathsheba, nor is she rejected: for out of the grief and the comforting comes to another life, and 'the Lord loved the boy Solomon.
All this time David's army has been campaigning against the Ammonites. Joab has set things up for David to come in at the head of his troops and capture Rabbah/Amman.
Why?
David really knows what he can do and what he can't do, so he got up to eat when his child is dead. This is the rule that life belongs to the Lord, we pray for others, and my life long is under the hand of the Lord.
God loves David and forgave his sin, so the new life Solomon through Bathsheba means the salvation if completed.
Joab is smart and he knew give honor to the king.
------------------------------------------------
大衛順服神的審判，帶走他的孩子。去讚美敬拜神表示真正的順服。
我們禱告，有時候神沒有垂聽，我們是否像大衛一樣，真正的敬拜神，是願意承擔神的審判、安排，這才是真正的悔改。
所羅門含意是平安的意思。
約押攻打亞門人 事大約中斷兩年，戰爭中，先處理罪的問題，如果罪的問題不處理，不能在世界的事情上得勝。
我們每次領聖餐，都是要求先認罪悔改。
認罪後，勝利的成果就來了，得到亞們人王的王冠戴在大衛頭上。真正的接受，是我們真正的悔改，神的管教，令人不舒服，但是我們願意接受。
Really confession is accepted the result of God gives us, accept the punishment and results. God may do not listen to our prayer, but we accepted it and continue to praise the Lord. This is real regret and confession.

Why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes?
2 Samuel 12:1-14
The Lord sent Nathan to David.
Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more. Why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.
Nathan replied, “The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. But because by doing this you have shown utter contempt for[a]the Lord, the son born to you will die.”
Uriah is dead: the wedding over; the child born. It all seems to have blown over very nicely - until Nathan arrives. And then, by means of a simple little story with a sting in its tail, the whole sordid episode is exposed. The prophet's tale slips under David's guard, in the way of stories, and suddenly David sees himself as God sees him: a humbling experience for a king. God forgives him, but he is punished, and despite David's anguished ptayer the child dies.
Why?
God forgives David's sins, but he has to be punished for what he has done.
This matter happened a while after Uriah was killed.

富人有錢有羊，卻搶窮人家的羊。
代價： 1. 4 倍償還 2. 刀劍必永不離開你的家。3.強別人的妻，自己的妻妾會成為別人的， 妻妾公開與人同寢。
不知足，有權事勢為所欲為。
神說若你以為不足，我早就加倍賜給你。神給的最好，可以向神求。但是人卻是人自己的方法
勇者兩位：拿單，不怕殺身之禍，遵行神的心意 2.大衛：敢於認罪。
在主面前沒有人可以隱藏的，主知道我們所行的善與惡。大衛責備別人時，常常可以慷他人之慨。人說別人都很嚴厲。
我們行惡叫耶和華的仇敵大得褻瀆。我們行惡就是羞辱耶穌基督。

Adultery and murder - are the watershed in David's life
2 Samuel 11:14-27
In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. In it, he wrote, “Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die.”
So while Joab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were. When the men of the city came out and fought against Joab, some of the men in David’s army fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite died.
When Uriah’s wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the Lord.
His army is flighting the Ammonites. but this spring the king is not with them. He is taking an after-siesta stroll in the cool, on the palace root. And from his vantage point, he can see down into the open inner courtyard if a nearby house, where the lovely Bathsheba is going through the monthly purification ritual following menstruation. The events that follow - adultery and murder - are the watershed in David's life. From this point on he reaps the bitter harvest of his sin. Although all seemed to be going according to plan. The Lord was not pleased with what David had done.
Why?
Proud and lose regular behavior may leading spiritual fall and closer to the sin.
Even David tried to cover everything by his detail plan, but the Lord knows it, so God is not pleased with what David had done.
David has adultery and murder two sins. How a man following with the Lord but fell in this matter. We are easy to pass the challenge when we are poor and difficult, but it is difficult to pass when we are full of everything.
Joab did not care about his solider, just obey the command of the king. Joab killed others.
-------------------------------------------------------------
David spent a lot of effort to write this letter.
David killed Uriah and his companion.
當一個人離開神，只為殺一個人目的，不惜其他人陪葬。
神藉烏利亞，不讓大衛得逞，把烏利亞灌醉，其是想把神灌醉。這是神攔阻犯這惡，但是我們抗拒聖靈，
大衛的身旁的人阻止帶拔士巴進宮，約押為何當幫手。因為大衛是王，沒有人敢勸戒，可能犯死罪。如果一個人聽不進去，沒有人敢說，最後也只有落得聽不進勸諫的王的後果。我們都是容易被罪縛住的人。求神讓我們在錯誤中，聽見主的聲音。我們是何等須要被指正的人。

One evening David got up from his bed
2 Samuel 11:1-13
One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.”
So David sent this word to Joab: “Send me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent him to David.
Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents,[a] and my commander Joab and my lord’s men are camped in the open country. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and make love to my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!”
Why?
When everything is settled down, David relaxes in physical and spiritual. So he got up late in the evening and saw a woman bathing. Then David had the sin of adultery with a woman who had a husband.
Uriah is a righteous man and is a good soldier, who won't take rest then his staff is fighting with the enemy in front. This made him be killed and reveal the sin of David.
Sin is always waiting beside our door, when we relax or less aware of our spiritual life, sins are easily start-up in our mind. When a man had a mistake, who will try to cover it by another evil deed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
生活作息也是重要的，無論是生理的需要，靈裏也是一樣要有正常的作息。生活作息混亂，漸漸與罪靠攏。不要落入試探，要逃離試探。不叫我們遇見試探，原文是否叫我們不落入試探，靠主的恩典救我們脫離試探。
貪心、征服者的快感，否則大衛可以找更美的女子、嬪妃、妻子。可是他卻想占有別人的妻子。看見又想仔細看容貌。大衛是一步步靠近罪，私慾既懷了胎就生出罪來。懷胎需要時間。
罪顯露出來是神的作為，神知道我們的惡，也記得我們的善事。最不能懷孕的時間，卻懷孕了。
問戰爭的事，卻要烏利亞回家，很奇怪的問答。為什麼沒能將烏利亞回家呢?因為忠於職守。神透過烏利亞的話在責備大衛。因為他的忠心，使大衛的計謀無法得逞。教會中許多弟兄姊妹，雖名不見經傳，卻是忠於神的弟兄姊妹，都是我們的傍樣。在豐富的時候，是我們最難通過的。不是苦難，而是豐富最難通過的考驗、試練。當我們豐富的時候，我們以為不需要神了。已經有許多妻子了，還是想要別人的妻子。

神的僕人
賽42：1-10
台南聖教會。 2019/9/1。高敏智牧師
思想：
神的僕人應該是怎樣的？
衛星與行星的關係，行在軌道中。如果不在這軌道…
看哪，我都僕人
1.我所扶持…從地極所領來的，所揀選…神的印記，心所喜悅的…蒙恩寵，有聰明！賽41,結9，箴言3
聖經的揀選與審判有關。有神的印記蒙赦免
喜悅的，親密的，把我的靈澆灌在他們身上！為神的公理，我們站在那裡，就是光。成為標準。
大綱：
1.他不喧嚷，他不揚聲
不宣揚自己的名。
無言無語，也無聲音可聽。秩序＋氣息。 運行＋跟隨
2. 他不折斷，他不吹滅。他憑真理將公理傳開
不折斷…折翼的人生，再一次看見救恩的喜悅
不吹滅…將盡的生命，在一次看見 醫治盼望
恢復(復興)的機能… 賽61：1
3. 他不灰心，也不喪膽
他不灰心…無可指望的時候 因信仍有指望…羅4：18
也不喪膽…誰能使我們與基督的愛隔絕呢？
挑戰：
十架上的愛
時代的僕人：
我耶和華憑公義召你，必攙扶你的手，保守你，使你作眾民的中保，作外邦人的光
航海的和海中所有的，海島和其上的居民，都當向耶和華唱新歌，從地極讚美他。
每天都有新事，是新造的人。在基督耶穌裡！

Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God
2 Samuel 10:1-19
David thought, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent a delegation to express his sympathy to Hanun concerning his father.
The Ammonite commanders said to Hanun their lord, “Do you think David is honoring your father by sending envoys to you to express sympathy? Hasn’t David sent them to you only to explore the city and spy it out and overthrow it?”
Joab said, "Be strong and let us fight bravely for our people and the cities of our God. The Lord will do what is good in his sight.”
When David was told of this, he gathered all Israel, crossed the Jordan and went to Helam. The Arameans formed their battle lines to meet David and fought against him. But they fled before Israel, and David killed seven hundred of their charioteers and forty thousand of their foot soldiers. He also struck down Shobak the commander of their army, and he died there. When all the kings who were vassals of Hadadezer saw that they had been routed by Israel, they made peace with the Israelites and became subject to them.
Why?
These wars are not attacked by Israel, but for Ammonite thought David's bad mind to reconnoiter them. Actually, David showed kindness to them.
Joab knew their fight was with the Lord, fight for the Lord.
David went out to fight with Arameans, David got victory once more, for the Lord is with him.
=================
亞門人不相信人，反而失去更多約押與亞比塞盡己力，其他交託給神！
世界的結盟是以自己的利益為目的，約押則以彼此幫助來結盟。我們在教會是以己的益處為出發點還是以神的益處為出發點？
