撒母耳記上 4:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 4:7

And the Philistines were afraid
When the spies returned, and reported to them the reason of the shouting:

for they said, God is come into the camp;
into the camp of Israel, because the ark represented him, and was the symbol of his presence; and these Heathens might take the ark itself for an idol of the Israelites; the Targum is,

``the ark of God is come''

and they said, woe unto us;
it is all over with us, destruction and ruin will be our case, victory will go on their side now their God is among them:

for there hath not been such a thing heretofore;
if by this they meant that the ark had never been in the camp of Israel before, they were mistaken; and it is no great wonder they should, being not so well acquainted with the affairs of Israel, and their customs; or rather, it was not so yesterday, or three days ago, when they were defeated; there was no shouting then: or the state of the war is altered; before we fought with the men of Israel, but now we must fight with the God of Israel also.

撒母耳記上 4:7 In-Context

5 耶 和 華 的 約 櫃 到 了 營 中 , 以 色 列 眾 人 就 大 聲 歡 呼 , 地 便 震 動 。
6 非 利 士 人 聽 見 歡 呼 的 聲 音 , 就 說 : 在 希 伯 來 人 營 裡 大 聲 歡 呼 , 是 甚 麼 緣 故 呢 ? 隨 後 就 知 道 耶 和 華 的 約 櫃 到 了 營 中 。
7 非 利 士 人 就 懼 怕 起 來 , 說 : 有   神 到 了 他 們 營 中 ; 又 說 : 我 們 有 禍 了 ! 向 來 不 曾 有 這 樣 的 事 。
8 我 們 有 禍 了 ! 誰 能 救 我 們 脫 離 這 些 大 能 之   神 的 手 呢 ? 從 前 在 曠 野 用 各 樣 災 殃 擊 打 埃 及 人 的 , 就 是 這 些   神 。
9 非 利 士 人 哪 , 你 們 要 剛 強 , 要 作 大 丈 夫 , 免 得 作 希 伯 來 人 的 奴 僕 , 如 同 他 們 作 你 們 的 奴 僕 一 樣 。 你 們 要 作 大 丈 夫 , 與 他 們 爭 戰 。
