金銀為洪爐所鍛鍊、人心為耶和華所鑒察。

押沙龍丰采甚都、自頂至踵、無少瑕疵、見譽於眾、遍以色列族無能比擬、

使爾信主、見試而彌堅、非若金、一經煆煉、漸即消磨者可比、待耶穌基督顯日、得頌美尊榮、

我將使三分之一、若投於烈焰之中、煉之若銀、試之若金、彼籲於上、而我垂聽、稱彼為我民、彼必曰、耶和華乃我上帝。

眾婦踴躍、唱予和汝、曰、掃羅殺人維千、大闢戮人盈萬。掃羅怒甚、不悅其言、曰、大闢得萬、我惟得千、尊之若此、將何所得、非國而何。

彼將坐而鍜銀、滌利未族之污、煉之若金銀、使無不義、然後獻禮於耶和華、

凡在以色列族中、欲詣王所以訟者、押沙龍待之若此、以是陰得人心。越四年、押沙龍請於王曰、昔我於耶和華前曾許其願、今欲往希伯崙以酬、王其許我。初爾臣僕、居亞蘭之其述、曾許願曰、如耶和華使我歸耶路撒冷、我必服事耶和華。王曰、可安然以去。乃往希伯崙。押沙龍預遣數人、以偵動靜、遍行以色列族諸支派、曰、爾聞角聲、則呼押沙龍在希伯崙為王。押沙龍自耶路撒冷招二百人偕行、此眾秉性質樸、不識其謀為不軌。亞希多弗、其祿人也、嘗為大闢議士、斯時獻祭於其祿、押沙龍召之與謀、於是叛黨日強、從者愈眾。

掃羅見其所行無不亨通、懼之益甚。大闢率民出入、以色列族猶大人、無不眷愛。

大闢與非利士人之伯戰、較掃羅臣僕、所行亨通、群尊其名焉。

凡我良朋、勿異爾所歷之煉試、以為非常、

耶和華兮、其道潔清、煆煉若金、爐火鎔之、七次而成、
