historia
Izizwe eziyi-12 zakwa-Israyeli:
Ukuze siyiqonde kahle indaba kaDavide, kumelwe sihlole iBhayibheli, umbhalo wethu ongcwele, isihlahla somndeni wale nkosi enkulu. Ake siqale ngokufunda ngesizwe sakwaJuda; okwakungesinye sezizwe ezingu-12 ezanikezwa amadodana kaJakobe, owaziwa nangokuthi amadodana ka-Israyeli angu-12.

Futhi kulapho, esizweni sakwaJuda, lapho sizogcizelela khona, ngoba kwavela abaholi abakhulu, amakhosi, ababusi, abadume ngazo zonke izenzo zabo kuze kube namuhla.
Esizweni sakwaJuda kukhona uhlu lozalo lukaDavide iqhawe elikhulu; unesibindi, unekhono, ulungile, unamandla, uhlakaniphe kakhulu futhi uhlakaniphe. Besingaqhubeka siyichaza kodwa umlando mawusikhombise amaqiniso awo.
Impilo kaDavide
Umndeni wakhe:
Ukuphila kukaDavide kwaqala emkhayeni omkhulu kakhulu. Igama likayise kwakunguJese, waziwa nangokuthi uJese (lokhu kuye kwahlukahluka kakhulu ngenxa yezinguqulo eziye zenziwa iBhayibheli), kanti unina kwakunguNitzevet.
Wayenabafowabo abambalwa: (u-Eliyabe, u-Abinadaba, uSamma, uNathanayeli, uRadayi, u-Osem, u-Elihu, uSeruya no-Abigayili). UDavide wayengomncane kunabo bonke. Masikhumbule ukuthi ngaleso sikhathi indodana yokugcina yomkhaya kwadingeka izinikele ekwaluseni izimvu.
Umsebenzi wakhe:
Nsuku zonke wayenesibopho sokunikeza zonke izimvu amanzi nokudla. Ngesikhathi sakhe sokuphumula wayethanda ukudlala ejikijela amatshe emfuleni, ngezinye izikhathi wayecula futhi wafunda ukudlala ihabhu (insimbi yomculo efana nehabhu).
Yayinjalo impilo kaDavida, lapho esesidlweni sakusihlwa somndeni, izikhathi eziningi abafowabo bamcela ukuba adlale ihabhu ukuze aphumule emsebenzini onzima okwakumelwe bawenze nsuku zonke.
Ukugcotshwa Njengenkosi:
Ngesinye isikhathi ephumule esihlahleni elusa izimvu, wabizwa nguyise ukuba aphuthume ekhaya ngoba kwakufanele ahlangane nothile.
UDavide wamangala ngoba lokhu cishe akuzange kwenzeke, kodwa wazihola izimvu wabuyela endlini yakhe. Wonke umuntu wayemlindele ngokukhathazeka, kwaze kwaba yilapho uyise esondela kuye futhi wamethula kuSamuweli: (umprofethi owathi, ngaphansi kokuyala kukaNkulunkulu, wagcoba uDavide njengenkosi yesikhathi esizayo yakwaIsrayeli). Kulapho ukuphila kukaDavide kwakuyoshintsha khona.
UNkulunkulu wakhuluma noSamuweli wamtshela ukuthi angabheki ukubonakala, ngoba izinhliziyo zabalungileyo ziyakhanya ngokwazo. Ngale ndlela, uBaba wethu omkhulu wabona kuDavide inhliziyo egcwele ubulungisa.
Inqaba kaDavide:
Ebhayibhelini kuke kwashiwo ukuthi uDavida wayezingela ibhubesi, enyonyoba ngemva kwezihlahla ezithile wakwazi ukulithumba ngamandla amakhulu walibulala ngezakhe izandla, konke lokhu ngenxa yolaka ayenalo ngebhubesi ngokuntshontsha. enye yezimvu zakhe.
Kwesinye isigameko kuthiwa wabulala ibhere, kodwa kulokhu wagibela esihlahleni walinda umzuzu oqondile ukuba awe phezu kwaso alibulale. Isizathu sasifana nesehlakalweni sebhubesi, ngoba ibhere lantshontsha imvu ngobudedengu balo.
Hlangana nenkosi uSawule:
EBhayibhelini kukhulunywa ngokuthi uSawule wayeyinkosi yokuqala yakwa-Israyeli, engowesizwe sakwaBenjamini. Wayeyiqhawe elikhulu, enesibindi, enamaqhinga amahle okulwa futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu, isikhathi esiningi wayenqoba ezimpini ezilwa namaFilisti, ayeyizitha zakhe ezinkulu ngaleso sikhathi.
Wayenabantwana abangu-8 nomkakhe u-Ahinohama, kodwa abantwana okukhulunywa ngabo kakhulu eBhayibhelini yilaba: uJonathani (iqhawe elikhulu elinjengoyise) noMerabi (kamuva owaba ingoduso kaDavide).
UDavide ngokumelene noGoliyathi:
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi neminyaka, uSawule waqala ukukhathala nobuhlungu lapho eya empini, yingakho wayefuna amaqhawe anamandla njalo ukuze ayokulwa namaFilisti. Wahlela isu futhi amasosha akhe kwadingeka enze ngokuvumelana nalo.
Kodwa kwenzeka ukuthi, kwafika amanye amaqhawe akhe nomyalezo wokuthi kudingeka anikele ngomuntu ongalwa nendoda ende futhi enamandla kakhulu eyayisenkundleni yempi.
Njengoba uSawule ayefuna ukunqoba impi, ngalolo suku wathumela ukuba kulandwe othile owayefuna ukunqoba leso sitha esingumdondoshiya. Lapho lokhu kuzwakala ezindlebeni zikaDavid, wakhuluma nomndeni wakhe wathi ufuna ukukwenza. Uyise wayengafuni kodwa wamnika isibusiso ngoba indodana yakhe yayizimisele kakhulu esinqumweni sakhe.
Kulapho-ke lapho uDavida eya eNkosini uSawuli wayitshela ukuthi ingamnqoba ngesikhali sayo. Lapho uSawule embona, uyamlahla ngokushesha futhi umtshela ukuthi usemncane kakhulu futhi akanamandla ngokwanele ukuba angaya empini.
Kodwa uDavide uyasondela ngokucasuka futhi wamtshela ngokuqinile ukuthi wakwazi ukubulala ingonyama nebhere ngezandla zakhe, nokuthi akukho okwakuzomvimbela ukuba anqobe lowomdondoshiya.
Kwahamba amahora uSawuli engatholanga muntu owayefuna ukubhekana noGoliyathi (lelo kwakuyigama laleso siqhwaga seqhawe), wathatha isinqumo sokuthuma uDavide, nakuba wayengahleki ngoba wayecabanga ukuthi bazombulala kalula.
Lapho uDavid efika enkundleni yempi, akekho owayefuna ukunyakaza, wonke umuntu wayembuka ngokungabaza nokwesaba ngoba wayemncane futhi engenazo izimo zomzimba zokulwa noGoliyathi.
Kodwa uDavida, ezimisele, wakhupha indwayimana ekhukhwini lakhe, wafaka ilitshe esitsheni esiliphetheyo, welulela ngangokunokwenzeka, waliqondisa kancane ebunzini lomFilisti, walijikijela lapho, langena kwelinye lamehlo akhe, wabangela ukuthi. ukuba afe, ukufa masinyane.
Kwaqale kwathula kwathi cwaka, kodwa ngemva kwalokho amabutho kaSawuli amemeza njengokungathi abuyisela amandla esimo futhi akwazi ukunqoba amaFilisti ayelapho.
Lokhu kwabangela isiyaluyalu kuso sonke isifunda, akekho owayeka ukukhuluma ngoDavide nangokunqoba kwakhe. Wonke umuntu wayenenguqulo ehlukile kodwa isikhathi ngasinye esingcono kunomunye, okwenza uDavide iqhawe.
Uma ufuna ukwazi umlando ngokuningiliziwe, sikumema ukuthi ufunde isihloko sethu UDavida loGoliyathi, lapho uzojabulela khona indaba ejabulisayo.
ulaka lukaSawule
USawule wajabula kakhulu ngalolo suku, ngokuba bawahlula amaFilisti, wamema uDavide esigodlweni ukuba bonke badle, bajabule. UDavide wathatha ihabhu lakhe.
Lapho uSawule embheka, akakwazanga ukumelana nokumcela ukuba amthinte phambi kwabo bonke. Lapho uDavide ekwenza, lokhu kwamthinta kakhulu uSawule, owazizwa enokuthula kwangaphakathi lapho emuzwa edlala.
Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, wacela uDavide ukuba amvakashele njalo ukuze amdlalele insimbi yomculo. UDavide wavuma futhi ngalokho, wahlangana nendodana kaSawule, uJonathani. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, baba abangane abakhulu.
UJonathani wayeyiqhawe elihle futhi uDavide, ngemva kokunqoba kwakhe uGoliyati, waqhubeka eya enkundleni yempi futhi ngokunqoba ngakunye okwakutholakala, ukutuseka nokuhlonishwa kwabantu kwanda usuku nosuku, futhi lokhu kancane kancane kwakwandisa umona othile. INkosi uSawule, ngezinye izikhathi eyayibonakala njengengcweti yamasu elula eyathuma uDavide namanye amaqhawe ukuba ayokulwa.
Umona nentukuthelo yakhe yakhula njalo lapho ezwa iziqhathaniso ezenziwa ngabanye abantu phakathi kwakhe noDavide, kangangokuthi ngolunye usuku wababona bedansa bememeza bethi: “USawule unqobe izinkulungwane kodwa uDavide unqobe izinkulungwane eziyishumi” .
UDavid nothando
Ngaleso sikhathi, uDavide wachitha isikhathi esiningi esigodlweni, edlalela iNkosi uSawule insimbi yomculo, ekhuluma noJonathani, umngane wakhe omkhulu, noma eqomisa indodakazi kaSawule endala, uMerabi.
Kwakukhona i-chemistry enhle phakathi kwalaba ababili futhi bachitha amahora bekhuluma ngezihloko eziningi. UMerabi wayethanda ukulalela insimbi yomculo kaDavide, futhi wayehlale eyidlala ngokujabula, ukuze abe nesikhathi esengeziwe ndawonye.
Escape
Ngokufutheka uSawule aba nakho kuDavide, izikhathi eziningi wamthumela empini cishe namaqhawe ambalwa ukuze athathe ukuphila kukaDavide, waqhubeka ngaphansi kwesibusiso sikaNkulunkulu futhi waqhubeka efika ngokunqoba.
USawule wanikela ngendodakazi yakhe endala kaningi kulowo owayekwazi ukumbulala uDavide, kodwa uDavide wayeseyazi kakade ngamasu enkosi, ngenxa yendodana yakhe uJonathani, owaqaphela okwenzekileyo futhi wacela uDavide ukuba aphume esigodlweni nasesifundeni. uyise wayelahlekelwe ingqondo futhi wayehlose ukumbulala nganoma iyiphi indlela.
Ngalendlela, uDavide ubaleka ngokuzumayo, okwamphoqa ukuba adlule eNobi (idolobha eligcwele abapristi), lapho ehlangana khona nompristi uAhimeleki, omnika inkemba kaGoliyati ayeyisonge ngengubo, futhi wamnika. izinkwa ezahlukene.
Ngakho uDavide waqhubeka ephunyuka, kuphela emhumeni emaphethelweni omuzi. Lapho abafowabo bezwa lokho okwenzekile, bazilungiselela futhi bahamba nabantu ababebuthene phakathi kwabantu, bahlangana noDavide bakha amadoda angamakhulu amane.
Basuka lapho baya kwaMowabi, bashiya oyise phezu kwenkosi yakwaMowabi, baqhubekela ezweni lakwaJuda, njengokusho komprofethi uGadi (owaba segcekeni labaprofethi phakathi nokubusa kukaJuda) . UDavida).
Ukufa kuka-Ahimeleki
Lapho uSawule ezwa ukuthi uDavide wadabula eNobi futhi wakhuluma no-Ahimeleki, wayala ukuba kubulawe bonke ababekwazi lokho, ngoba wayekubheka njengozungu kuye.
U-Ahimeleki indodana ka-Ahimeleki wabaleka ngaphambi kokuba abantu bakaSawule bafike emzini, wahlangana noDavide ukuze amtshele okwakwenzekile kuyise.
Esezwa lokho, uDavida wamtshela ukuthi ahlale laye, ngoba wayezasinda, ngoba wayelomlandu kuye lakuyise ngokufaka impilo yakhe engozini ngokuzama ukumsiza. Siqala kanje isigaba esisha ekuphileni kukaDavide, ukulwa noSawule namadoda akhe.
izikhathi zokuphunyuka
UDavide namadoda ayekanye naye baphephela ehlane, kodwa babengaqinisekanga, nsuku zonke kwadingeka bathole umphako ukuze bahlale lapho, uSawule engazi.
Ngaleso sikhathi, amaFilisti aqala ukulwa neKeyila (idolobha lasesifundeni sakwaJuda). Lapho uDavide ezwa ngalokhu, wafuna ukulwa futhi awuvikele umuzi, kodwa amadoda akhe esaba. Yikho uDavida eqalisa ukuthandaza njalo akhulume loNkulunkulu, owamtshela ukuthi aye empini ngoba uzamenza anqobe.
UDavide uwakholisa kanje amadoda akhe, anqoba eKeyila futhi athole izinkomo nokudla. Kodwa lokhu akuzange kubonakale phambi kukaSawule, oqala ukuhlela ukuhlasela kuDavide kuleyo ndawo, wacabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungakuye, ngokushiya uDavide endaweni lapho kwakuyoba nzima ngaye ukunqoba ezivalekile.
USawule wayeka lapho ezwa ukuthi uDavide ubalekile eKeyila, kodwa waqhubeka nokufuna kwakhe kodwa akazange aphumelele. UDavide washintsha, kwaze kwathi ngolunye usuku uSawule wamphusha ehlane laseMawoni, waceba ukumbulala ngalolo suku.
Kodwa isithunywa satshela uSawule ukuthi amaFilisti, esezwile ukuthi ukude nendlu yenkosi, angena emzini, ngakho uSawule kwadingeka amise ukuhlangana noDavide, abuyele ukulwa namaFilisti.
UDavide usindisa ukuphila kukaSawule
Lapho uSawule ekhipha umyalo endaweni yakhe, watshelwa ukuthi uDavide usehlane lase-Eni-Gedi, futhi wahamba namadoda ayizinkulungwane ezintathu ukulwa naye.
UDavide wayecashe emhumeni namadoda akhe, kwathi uSawule efika khona, wangena kulowomhume ukuba aphumule, wahlangana noDavide; yena wasika isiqeshana sengubo yakhe, wambonisa sona, wathi: angiyikulimaza inkosi yami, uNkulunkulu angisize ngenze into enjalo.”
USaúl uyakhala futhi acele intethelelo, etshela uDavide ukuthi ngemva kokwenza ububi obungaka, uzombuyisela ngokusindisa ukuphila kwakhe. Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, uSawule uvumela uDavide ukuba ahambe, owadingiselwa endaweni yamaFilisti isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka futhi uSawule ubuyela esigodlweni.
Ukufa kukaSawule
Izimpi ezilwa namaFilisti zashuba kwaze kwaba seqophelweni lokuba aphelelwe amaqhinga amahle okuwanqoba. Kungakho uSawule enquma ukuvakashela isangoma ukuze abonane nayo ngomphumela wempi esondelayo.
Lokhu akuzange kubonakale kahle emehlweni kaNkulunkulu, okwathi ngomoya kaSamuweli amvumela ukuba abone okuzokwenzeka. (Qaphela: khumbula ukuthi umprofethi uSamuweli nguye owagcoba uDavide njengenkosi, kodwa uSamuweli wayesanda kushona.)
Umoya womprofethi uSamuweli umtshela ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyomjezisa ngokuvakashela umbhuli, nokuthi ukufa kwakuyofika kuye nawo wonke amadodana akhe phakathi nempi emelene namaFilisti, futhi ngalendlela isihlalo sobukhosi siyonikwa uDavide.
Futhi kwenzeka ngakusasa. Bambethela imicibisholo eminingi, kwathi esafa wacela elinye lamasosha akhe ukuba limbulale ukuze agweme ubuhlungu, kodwa wenqaba ngenxa yenhlonipho ayenayo ngaye, ngakho uSawule wathatha inkemba yakhe wazibulala.
Lapho uDavide ethola konke, wezwa impumuzo enkulu ngoba ushushiso lwaluzophela kodwa futhi wadabuka ngoba umngane wakhe uJonathani nesithandwa sakhe uMerabi base beshonile.
Inkosi uDavide
Thatha isihlalo sobukhosi
UDavide ubuyela eHebroni, futhi uthatha isikhundla njengenkosi, njengoba nje uNkulunkulu amazisa ngomprofethi uSamuweli, lapho emgcoba njengombusi wesikhathi esizayo wezwe lakwaJuda, wabusa lapho iminyaka engu-7 nezinyanga eziyisithupha.
Kodwa kwakukhona okwenzekayo, kwaba khona ukwenqatshwa okuthile kwamandla akhe enyakatho yakwa-Israel, yingakho ababephethe kuleyo ndawo bakhetha inzalo yenkosi engasekho uSawule, njengombusi wesikhashana, kwathiwa ngu-Isbosheti.
Kodwa ukuntengantenga kombuso kwaholela abaholi ababili besigodlo ukuba bambulale, base bezinikela kuDavide, owayala ukuba babulawe ngenxa yecala labo.
Enikezwa lokhu, uDavide unquma ukushintsha inhloko-dolobha futhi akhe indlu yobukhosi entsha endaweni yokuthula kwaIsrayeli, ebizwa ngokuthi iJebusi. Ukusuka lapho wathola amandla kuzo zonke izifunda nasemadolobheni lapho kwakukhona inkomba ethile yokwenqaba umbuso wakhe. UDavide wakwazi ukulawula zonke izinto futhi wahlanganisa izwe lakwaJuda.
Uhlelo lukahulumeni
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, iJebusi laqanjwa kabusha ngokuthi iJerusalema. Futhi kusukela lapho wabusa uDavide, owasungula owakhe umbuso, wamisa izikhulu ezihlukahlukene, abahluleli, negceke labaprofethi esifundeni sonke sakwaJuda.
Kulapho, lapho umprofethi uNathani, etshela khona uDavide ukuthi uNkulunkulu wacela ukwakhiwa ngokushesha kwethempeli futhi ngalendlela, wathembisa ukuyinakekela, ukwakha nokubusisa indlu yakhe nenzalo yakhe kuze kube phakade.
Ngalokhu, uDavida wenza uhlelo lombuso, lapho abapristi, abaprofethi kanye nezikhulu, ezisebenza njengamanxusa kaBaba Omkhulu waseZulwini, beyoba abaphethe izinqumo ezweni lonke.
Ngale ndlela, iminyaka yadlula ekubuseni kukaDavide, enqoba izitha zakhe ezimpini, eletha ubulungisa kubantu bakhe, umnotho wawuchuma futhi ukuhwebelana nezinye izizwe kwakubalulekile, kodwa kwasebenza kahle kakhulu. UDavide wabusa eJerusalema iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nantathu.
UDavide nomka-Uriya
ukuphinga
Lapho uDavide esekhaya, wabona ethafeni lakhe owesifazane omuhle kakhulu egeza. Lokhu kwambangela isifiso esikhulu kanye nozungu, ngakho wanquma ukuthola ukuthi ungubani wabe esethumela ukuba abizwe. Wayesondelene naye nakuba ayeshade nesosha u-Uriya, futhi ekugcineni wakhulelwa.
Lapho uDavide ezwa ngokukhulelwa kwakhe, wakhathazeka kakhulu ngokuthi umyeni wakhe wayezokwazi, ngakho ukuze agweme lokhu, wamyala ukuba ame phambili enkundleni yempi ukuze afe.
Kwathi lokhu kwenzeka, uDavida wamngenisa uBathsheba endlini yakhe (leli igama lomka-Uriya), wamenza indlovukazi yakhe, esalinde isikhathi sokubeletha, umprofethi watshela uDavide ukuthi uNkulunkulu akakuthandi ukuphinga kwakhe nokuthi lokhu, uyise wayezofa futhi izenzo zakhe zazizoletha izikhathi ezinzima embusweni wakhe.
Kwasekusithi esezelwe umntwana, uDavida wazila ukudla ukuze uNkulunkulu amthethelele, kodwa njengokutsho komprofethi, umntwana osanda kuzalwa wafa ngemva kwensuku eziyisitshiyagalombili, uDavida wayeka ukuzila, wasemukela isinqumo sikaNkulunkulu.
amadodana kaDavide
UDavide wayenabantwana abayisithupha abazalelwa eHebroni kwabesifazane abahlukahlukene. Masikhumbule ukuthi ngalezo zikhathi kwakuvamile ukuba namakhosikazi amaningi. EJerusalema wazala abanye abantwana, abanye babo: (oSimah, noShobabi, noNathani noSolomoni).
Ukuphila kukaDavide kwakujabulisayo, wayenenzalo enkulu futhi ebathanda ngokujulile bonke. Kodwa iziprofetho ziyagcwaliseka, futhi esinye sezikhathi ezinzima kakhulu uDavida okwadingeka adlule kuzo kwakuyitulo elenziwa indodana yakhe siqu, eyayifuna ukuba yinkosi njengoyise, igama layo kwakungu-Absalomu.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, u-Absalomu wazuza izinhliziyo zabantu bakwa-Israyeli, wabenza bakholelwa ukuthi uDavide wayengeyena umbusi oqotho, ngenxa yalesi sizathu, wathenga izinqola zempi nabaqaphi abangaphezu kuka-50, kamuva okwamsebenzela ukuba akhe umbimbi.
Njengoba ukuphila kukaDavide kwakusengozini, kwadingeka abaleke ngokushesha esigodlweni futhi ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva, u-Absalomu wayesafuna uyise, kodwa wathola amasosha amabili ebutho likaDavide ambulala. Lapho uDavide ezwa lokho, wadabuka kodwa wakwazi ukubuyela eJerusalema.
USolomoni: inkosi yesikhathi esizayo
Njengoba isikhathi sihamba, abaprofethi bazisa uDavide ukuthi enye yamadodana akhe kufanele igcotshwe njengenkosi yesikhathi esizayo yakwa-Israyeli, ngoba uNkulunkulu wakumisa kanjalo. UDavide wafa emdala, ngolunye lwezinsuku zakhe zokulinda nokuthandaza kuJehova.
Kwaba njalo, indodana ekhethiweyo kwakunguSolomoni, futhi bobabili uDavide naye wakwazi ukugcina izwe elingcwele likaNkulunkulu ndawonye, baletha ukuchuma, ubulungisa kanye nenjabulo kubantu babo.
Singasho ukuthi njengesibusiso sikaJakobe kuJuda, inzalo yakhe ngempela yayiyogcwala amakhosi namadoda alungile akwazi ukuhlanganisa nokuletha isibusiso sikaNkulunkulu ku-Israyeli.
