MEDITATION

Genesis 14:5-7

5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him came and attacked the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
6 and the Horites in their mountain of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is by the wilderness.
7 Then they turned back and came to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and attacked all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who dwelt in Hazezon Tamar.

MEANINGFUL APPLICATION TO LIFE

1. The reprisal led by Chedorlaomer

a. The uprising had to be put down forcibly.
b. Chedorlaomer led an army to war against the rebels.

2. A successful campaign

a. Chedorlaomer successfully defeated the rebels.
b. He conquered even more nations.
c. His kingdom had spread even farther.

d. In addition, other nations and tribes were also conquered:
i. The Rephaim
ii. The Zuzim
iii. The Emim
iv. The Horites
v. The Amalekites
vi. The Amorites
These groups were not mentioned earlier. Chedorlaomer now ruled a larger kingdom.

沉思

《创世记 14:5-7》
5十四年,基大老玛和同盟的王都来在亚特律加宁,杀败了利乏音人,在哈麦杀败了苏西人,在沙微基列亭杀败了以米人,
6在何利人的西珥山杀败了何利人,一直杀到靠近旷野的伊勒巴兰。

7他们回到安密巴,就是加低斯,杀败了亚玛力全地的人,以及住在哈洗逊他玛的亚摩利人。

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 基大老玛带领的报复

a. 这起义必须强行镇压
b. 基大老玛带领军马与叛军征战

2. 成功的战役

a. 基大老玛成功击败叛军
b. 他还征服了更多王国
c. 他的王国扩展
d. 之前提到反叛的王国都被击败《创世记 14:2》
e. 其他的王国与邦族也被征服了:
i. 利乏音
ii. 苏西
iii. 以米
iv. 何利
v. 亚玛力
vi. 亚摩利
这些族群之前没有被提到。基大老玛现在统治更广大的王国。
