如何理解“扫罗王覆灭”——对《撒母耳记上》15:1-9的一种分析

Understanding the Downfall of King Saul:Through an Analysis of 1 Sam 15:1-9

扫罗王被废黜显得有些不公平。在灭绝亚玛力之敌并俘获其王亚甲之后,扫罗被废黜了以色列的王位。在《撒母耳记上》15:1-9的文本单元中研究那场战斗的背景、战斗本身及其后果,尤其是参考对《撒母耳记上》15:8-9的文学批评,能找到理解扫罗王何以被废黜的钥匙。本文特别关注对《撒母耳记上》15:1-9语境中之第8-9节的文学批评,对该问题的考察对于理解扫罗王覆灭的原因至关重要。

The rejection of King Saul seems somewhat unjust.After exterminating the Amalekite enemies and capturing their King,Agag,Saul is demoted from being King of Israel.A study of the background to the battle,the battle itself,and the aftermath of it,in the textual unit 1 Sam 15:1- 9,with particular reference to the literary-critical problem in 1 Sam 15:8-9,can provide the key to understanding why Saul was rejected.This paper looks specifically at one literary-critical problem i.e.vv.8-9 in the context of 1 Sam 15:1-9. The examination of this can provide a crucial insight as to the downfall of King Saul.
