經文:列王紀上七章
鑰節:這樣,所羅門王作完了耶和華殿的一切工……。」(7:51)
提要

        所羅門王自己的宮殿與上帝的殿似乎是同時建造的,不過前者完工的時間是後者的一倍長。或許所羅門因著對上帝的熱心,急於要儘快完成上帝的殿,而使自己的王宮進度落後了。所羅門的王宮不像聖殿,並沒有事先規畫好的藍圖,也沒有很長的準備期或現成的材料。所羅門的王宮可能比聖殿更大,設計也更複雜。它可能不是一座單一的建築物,而是由好幾個有不同用途的建築合成的。

        所羅門也用工匠和腓尼基上好的材料為他的埃及妻子建一宮室,又建好幾棟官用建築,如黎巴嫩林宮。利巴嫩林宮這個獨特的名字是因它有四排香柏木作成的柱子。此宮非常巨大,可能作軍械庫之用(參10:17;賽22:8)。所羅門也建了一個審判廊(7:7),其中有優點美的寶座。在那裡他可以公開的聽訟、審判,展現上帝賜給他的非凡智慧。

        由於以色列人不是老練的工匠和建築師(如5:6b),所以所羅門便從推羅雇來專業的匠人作此重大鉅工,並指導以色列人建造聖殿。其中一位銅匠專家叫戶蘭,他的父家在推羅,但母親是以色列人。戶蘭在推羅學會了建造聖殿所需的一切技藝。上帝已經預備了這樣一個人,並賜給他這些恩賜來為祂的榮耀工作,正如祂在許多年以前賞賜比撒列才幹以建造會幕一樣。

        戶蘭為聖殿所製的美麗陳設都在第七章中列舉出來,其中最引人注目的是兩根高大(約十六公尺高)、華麗的銅柱。柱頂更超過兩公尺高。每一根柱子都刻有重要的銘文:「雅斤」的意思是:「祂必建立」,「波阿斯」的意思則是「力量在乎耶和華」。它們都是以色列上帝之權能和榮耀的見證。

        建殿所用的銅數量太多,幾乎無法秤重。戶蘭所負責的一定是一件鉅工,七章四十節告訴我們,他完成了所有所羅門王要他作的工作,真是極大的光榮!所羅門也功不可沒,他成功且勤勞的完成了他父親大衛所留給他的工作(7:51)。雖然建殿之工耗費數年,但所羅門堅持到底。在整個過程中,他一點也沒有喪膽、氣餒,因為他知道,不論花多少代價,能使上帝得榮耀,並看見百姓敬拜上帝,便是值得的。

禱告

        主啊,我們讚美您在我們生命中堅持不懈的工作。幫助我們在每天讀經、禱告等事上也不灰心、中斷,好讓作為您聖殿的我們能以被建造完全,使您得榮。奉主耶穌聖名,阿們!

Scriptures:Read 1 Kings 7
Key Verse:"Thus all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of the Lord was finished... ".(1 Kings 7:51)
Overview

        It appears that Solomon's own house and the house of the Lord were being built simultaneously; however, the completion of Solomon's palace took almost twice as long. Perhaps, in his enthusiasm and zeal for the Lord, Solomon may have pushed to get the Temple finished and let the work on his own house be delayed. Unlike the Temple, Solomon's house was not pre-planned and did not have the same extensive preparations nor readied materials. Solomon's palace may have been bigger and likely involved more sophisticated architecture. It was probably not just a single structure but rather made up of several separated buildings for various purposes other than his own private residence.

        Solomon also used the craftsmanship and finest materials of the Phoenicians to build a house for his Egyptian wife (7:8), as well as several government buildings such as the House of the Forest of Lebanon. This building received its unique name because of having four rows of cedar pillars. It was very large and probably served as the armoury (cf. 10:17; Isaiah 22:8). Solomon also constructed a beautiful throne room which was called the Hall of Judgment (7:7). From there he would publicly judge, demonstrating the great wisdom God had given him.

        Since the native Israelites were not skilled craftsmen and builders (e.g. 5:6b), Solomon hired professionals from Tyre to do the important work and to instruct them in the construction. One such expert in bronze work was named Hiram (not to be confused with king Hiram). He was half Israelite but had resided in Tyre, the land of his father. There he had learned the necessary skills to do the important work required on the Temple. God had prepared this man and gifted him with these talents in order to do this work for His glory, just as He had with Bezaleel in the construction of the Tabernacle many years earlier (Exodus 31:1-5).

        The beautiful furnishings of the Temple which Hiram made from bronze are all described and enumerated. Especially noteworthy are the two large and ornate pillars, each about 16 meters in height. The crown of each pillar was just over two meters high (7:15-16). Each pillar had significant inscriptions upon them: "Jachin", meaning "He shall establish" and "Boaz", meaning "in Him is strength". They were witnesses to the power and glory of the God of Israel.

        The weight of the bronze was too much to even attempt to calculate (7:47). Hiram was certainly commissioned with a huge job. Much to his credit, we read that he accomplished all the work that Solomon desired him to do (7:40). Also, to the credit of Solomon, we read that he too successfully and diligently completed the great task his father David had prepared for him (7:51). Although it took several years, Solomon persevered. He did not lose heart in building the Lord's house, for he knew that whatever it took, it was worth it to bring glory to the Lord and see the people worshipping Him.

Prayer

        Lord we praise You for persevering in Your work in our lives. Help us to not lose heart but persevere in such things as reading Your Word and praying every day so that we as Your temples will be completed to Your glory.
