撒母耳記上第十三課：第二十六章
撒母耳記上26章：大衛第二次不害掃羅
一。誰告訴掃羅王大衛藏起來在曠野前的哈基拉山？
二。西弗的曠野位置在希伯侖的東南，離希伯侖大約十公里的距離。請查《聖經》地圖，尋找希伯侖。
三。掃羅王帶着幾位軍人去尋找大衛？
四。大衛找到掃羅王時，掃羅在做什麼？誰跟着大衛？
五。8-11節：“亞比篩對大衛說：‘現在，神將你的___ ___交在你手裡，求你容我拿___將他刺透在地，一刺就___，不用再___’。大衛對亞比篩說：‘不可___ ___他。有誰伸手害耶和華的受___者而無___呢？’大衛又說：‘我指着永生的耶和華起誓，他或被耶和華擊打，或是死期到了，或是出戰陣亡；我在耶和華面前萬不敢伸手___耶和華的受膏者。現在你可以將他頭旁的___和___ ___拿來，我們就走’”。
六。大衛為什麼把掃羅王的矛（槍）和水袋（水瓶）拿走？
七。12節：掃羅王的衛兵和保鏢怎麼不會禁止大衛把矛和水瓶拿走？
八。然後，大衛做了什麼？
九。押尼珥是誰？（請記住此人的名字。）
十。大衛向押尼珥說什麼諷刺的話？
十一。大衛用什麼態度向掃羅王說理、自白？
十二。大衛向掃羅說了些什麼？
十三。掃羅王反應如何？掃羅答應大衛何事？
十 四。24-25節：大衛又對王說：“我今日重___你的性命，願耶和華也___看我的性命，並且拯救我脫離一切患難”。掃羅向大衛說：“我兒大衛，願你得___！你必做大事，也必得___”。
十五。請把撒母耳記上26章，大衛第二次不害掃羅王此事，應用在自己的生命里。（參閱馬太福音18章。）
十六。請思考以下的問題：掃羅和大衛，誰“強”，誰“弱”？害掃羅或不害掃羅，哪樣難？我的意思是，從道德觀點來說，哪樣難？害掃羅，大衛既有能力又有機會。“報仇”容易；“克制”難。在《聖經》里，雖然不能說沒有報仇這回事，事實上，特別在新約里，報仇不是一件美德，也不是一件神看為善之事。神說“伸冤報應在我”——申命記32:35；參看羅馬書12:17-21。
十七。請問：今天的您/我比較象誰？比較象掃羅呢？比較象大衛？在我們心裡深處，我們要下手傷害我們的敵人呢？還是把事情交託給神，慢慢地等待他的時間？

Bible Study Questions
1 Samuel Lesson Thirteen: David Spares Saul’s Life for the Second Time
I Samuel Chapter Twenty-six
1. Who told King Saul that David was hiding on the hill of Hachilah?
2. The Wilderness of Ziph is located about ten kilometers southeast of Hebron. Find Hebron on a Bible map.
3. How many soldiers did King Saul take with him to search for David?
4. What was Saul doing when David found him? Who was with David?
5. Vs. 8-11: “Abishai said to David, ‘God has given your e___ into your hand today; now therefore let me pin him to the ground with one s___ of the s___; I will not s___ him twice.’ But David said to Abishai, ‘Do not d___ him; for who can raise his hand against the LORD’s av, and be g___?’ David said, ‘As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike him down; or his day will come to die; or he will go down into battle and perish. The LORD forbid that I should r___ my hand against the LORD’s anointed; but now take the s___ that is at his head, and the water j___, and let us go’” (NRSV).
6. Why did David take King Saul’s spear and water jar?
7. Vs. 12: Why did King Saul’s bodyguard not prohibit David from taking the spear and water jar?
8. What did David do after this?
9. Who was Abner? (Remember this man’s name.)
10. What sarcastic remark did David make to Abner?
11. In what attitude did David reason with King Saul and vindicate himself?
12. What did David say to Saul?
13. How did King Saul respond? What did Saul promise David?
14. Vs. 24-25: David spoke to the King: “’As your life was p___ today in my sight, so may my life be p___ in the sight of the LORD, and may he rescue me from all tribulation.’ Then Saul said to David, ‘B___ be you, my son David! You will do many things and will s___ in them.’ So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place” (NRSV).
15. Apply this chapter, the record of how David spared Saul’s life a second time, to your own life. (See also Matthew chapter 18.)
16. Consider this question: Of Saul and David, who was “strong,” and who was “weak”? Which was more difficult, to harm Saul or not to harm him? My meaning is, from the viewpoint of morality, which was more difficult? David had both opportunity and ability to harm Saul. “Vengeance” comes easy; “self-control” is difficult. While it cannot be said that vengeance is unheard of in the Bible, the fact is that, especially in the New Testament, vengeance is not seen as a virtue, nor is it something that God smiles upon. “Vengeance is mine,” says God in Deuteronomy 32:35; see also Romans 12:17-21.
17. Whom do you and I today seem more like? Saul or David? In the depths of our hearts, do we wish to harm our enemies? Or, do we turn the problem over to God and await his time?
