圣经问答：撒母耳记下（十）
撒母耳记下第12章：先知拿单指责大卫王
1. 请列下“先知”一词的两个主要的意思。1）___出神的话； 2）说预___。注意：圣经里“先知”一词有两个意思：1）先知是一位“预先知道”的人：事情未曾发生之前，他已经知道，所以他说出预言；2）先知是一位“传话者”：他代表神说话，而且他说的是神的话。我们在本章都看得出“先知”的两个用法。拿单代表神向大卫说话，把神的信息告诉大卫，说大卫已犯了罪。不但如此，拿单也说出未来之事，告诉大卫说，“刀剑必永不离开你的家”，及大卫的亲人要在日光之下与他的妃嫔同寝。这两个预言在撒母耳记下的下几章都应验了。
我们在旧约的其他书卷，如以赛亚书、耶利米书以及小先知书，都能够看到“先知”一词的两个意思。阅读这些书时，就看得出先知们是神的使者，神的代表者（他们代表神说话），同时他们时常说出预言来，把一些未来的事情告诉人们。
2. 请述说拿单告诉大卫的比喻（故事）。
3. 请说明此比喻的意思。
4. 大卫王是否马上就听懂及领会拿单的话？
5. 请抄写及背诵拿单说的一句话：“你就是那人”。
6. 我们为什么要背诵此句话？
7. 本来大卫王及拔示巴两个人应该接受什么刑罚？（参看利未记20:10。）
8. 拿单提醒大卫何事？耶和华向大卫实行的爱和保护应该使得大卫对神怎么样？
9. 虽然大卫没有受到摩西律法的制载，但是他并没有脱罪。先知拿单告诉大卫他犯罪的后果是什么？（请参阅10节、11节以及14节来回答此问题。）请阅读撒母耳记下而找出拿单先知的话怎么样得了应验。
10. 大卫王后悔了没有？大卫悔改了没有？13节：请抄写大卫悔改认罪之记。
11. 当孩子生病时，大卫反应如何？
12. 20节：当孩子逝世时，大卫反应如何？他做了哪七样事情？大卫为什么去敬拜神？你认为他向神说了些什么？
13. 臣仆不明白大卫做的事，以为奇怪，就问王什么问题？大卫回答说：“孩子还活著，我禁食哭泣；因为我想，或者耶和华___恤我，使孩子___死也未可知。孩子死了，我何必___食，我岂能使他返回呢？我必___他那里去，他却不能___我这里来”。（最后一句表示大卫之信仰。请背诵：“我必往他那里去，他却不能回我这里来”。）
14. 之后，大卫和拔示巴又生了孩子，是谁？
15. 约押征服了哪座城？王冠有何特征？
16. 请阅读诗篇51篇及32篇，从中得知大卫认罪悔改前后情况如何。
17. 在诗篇51篇，您最喜欢哪一节？为什么？
18. 在诗篇51篇，您最喜欢哪一节？为什么？
19. 就拔示巴事件而言，大卫得罪了谁？至少我能够指出六人或人群；请您也指出那么多。但是，在诗篇51篇4节，大卫为什么向神说：“我得罪了您，唯独得罪了你”？当我们犯罪时，我们得罪谁？

2 Samuel 12: The Prophet Nathan Reprimands King David
1. What are the two meanings of the word “prophet?” 1) Fortht___; 2) Foret___. Note: “Prophet” has two meanings in Scripture, foreteller and forthteller, and both meanings are evident in this chapter. Nathan speaks to King David on God’s behalf, and gives David the special message from God, the fact that David had sinned; thus Nathan is a “forthteller.” Nathan also looks into the future and foretells the fact that the sword shall not depart from David’s house, and that someone very close to him will lie with his wives in broad daylight. Both of these prophecies are fulfilled in the next several chapters of 2 Samuel.
Both meanings of “prophet” are also evident in other Old Testament books, such as Isaiah, Jeremiah and the Minor Prophets. As you read these books, you will see that the prophets were God’s messengers or spokesmen (were “forthtellers”), and that they predicted the future (were “foretellers”).
2. Reiterate the parable (story) that Nathan told David.
3. Explain the meaning of the parable.
4. Did David immediately grasp the meaning of what Nathan said?
5. Please copy and then memorize Nathan’s statement: “You are the man.”
6. Why should we memorize this sentence?
7. What punishment should both David and Bathsheba receive? (See Leviticus 20:10.)
8. Of what did Nathan remind David? In what way should the love and protection given David by the Lord have prompted David to react to the Lord?
9. Even though David did not receive the punishment stipulated by the Law of Moses, nonetheless David did not escape punishment. What did the prophet Nathan tell David the result of his sin would be? See verse 10, verse 11 (two things), and verse 15. Read 2 Samuel and find out how the prediction by the prophet Nathan came true.
10. Did King David regret his actions? Did David repent? Verse 13: Copy David’s statement of repentance and confession
11. What was David’s response while the child was sick?
12. Vs. 20: What was David’s response after the child died? (List seven things he did.) Why did David go worship God? What do you think David said to God?
13. David’s servants thought David’s actions were strange, and they did not understand what David did. What did they ask David? David replied, “While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows? The LORD may be g_________ to me, and the child may l_____.’ But now he is dead; why should I f_____? Can I bring him back again? I shall g___ to him, but he will not r_______ to me’” (NRSV). (The last sentence reveals David’s faith. Please memorize the statement: “I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.”)
14. Later, David and Bathsheba had another child; who was he?
15. What city did Joab conquer? What was special about the king’s crown?
16. Read Psalms 51 and Psalms 32. In these Psalms we see David’s situation before and after he confessed his sin repented.
17. What is your favorite verse in Psalms 51? Why?
18. What is your favorite verse in Psalms 32? Why?
19. List the people against whom David sinned in the incident with Bathsheba. However, why did David say in Psalm 51:4, “Against you, you alone, have I sinned”? Whenever we sin, whom do we sin against?
