(代下12:)
“罗波安的国坚立,他强盛的时候就离弃耶和华的律法,以色列人也都随从他”(代下12:1)。{CC 201.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第196章
2 Chronicles 12[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第196章
所罗门背道期间的奢侈浪费,使他不得不加重百姓捐税的负担,并叫他们为他服劳役。……如果罗波安和他那些缺少经验的顾问能明白上帝对于以色列所有的旨意,他们就一定会听从百姓改革施政方针的要求。但他们在示剑的会场所得到的好机会中,未能看出问题的因果关系。……{CC 201.2}[2]

It came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him. 2 Chronicles 12:1. {CC 201.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第196章
圣经的记载说明,这一个继承所罗门的君王未能在效忠耶和华的事上发挥有力的影响。他虽然本性顽固倔强、自以为是、并倾向拜偶像,但如果他能全心信靠上帝,他就必能培养坚强的品格、稳固的信心、并能顺从上帝的诫命。但随着年月的消逝,王就渐渐依赖自己的势力和他所建筑的堡垒。他逐渐依从了他本性的弱点,直至完全为拜偶像的事张目了。{CC 201.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第196章
The extravagance of Solomon’s reign during his apostasy had led him to tax the people heavily and to require of them much menial service.... Had Rehoboam and his inexperienced counselors understood the divine will concerning Israel, they would have listened to the request of the people for decided reforms in the administration of the government. But in the hour of opportunity that came to them during the meeting in Shechem, they failed to reason from cause to effect.... {CC 201.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第196章
“以色列人也都随从他。”这一句话是多么悲惨,可又是多么饶有意义啊!上帝所拣选作为列国之光的子民,这时竟转离了他们力量的来源,而追求与他们周围的列国相同了。所罗门如何,罗波安也如何,──错误的榜样使许多人步入歧途。今日每一个任性行恶的人,也必或多或少地发挥象所罗门和罗波安所发挥的影响,──行恶的影响决不限于行恶者本人。没有一个人是为自己而活的。也没有一个人是单独在罪孽中灭亡的。一个人的生活若不是一盏照耀别人的道路、并使别人快乐的明灯,就是一个使人趋于绝望和败亡的黑暗而毒害的影响。我们若不领人向上,到幸福和永生的福地,就必领人向下,到忧伤和永死的苦境。而且如果我们的行为足以加强或发动别人犯罪作恶的能力,我们就与他们的罪恶有分了。(PK88-94){CC 201.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第196章
The pen of inspiration has traced the sad record of Solomon’s successor as one who failed to exert a strong influence for loyalty to Jehovah. Naturally headstrong, confident, self-willed, and inclined to idolatry, nevertheless, had he placed his trust wholly in God, he would have developed strength of character, steadfast faith, and submission to the divine requirements. But as time passed, the king put his trust in the power of position and in the strongholds he had fortified. Little by little he gave way to inherited weakness, until he threw his influence wholly on the side of idolatry.... {CC 201.3}[4]
