Abstract

In conversation with tragic readings of Saul’s career, the present article attempts to outline a parallel between the presentation and role of the spirit of YHWH and the evil spirit which afflicts Saul in 1 Samuel. By highlighting the parallel between the two spirits, the following argument suggests that they fulfil similar roles in confirming election and rejection respectively and either empowering or debilitating their recipients. The suggestion is that this analogy offers an appropriate way to understand the wider presentation of the evil spirit which afflicts Saul and has important implications for how we think about Saul’s rejection and his presentation more broadly.

拒绝实现:扫罗，邪灵和失去王权

通过对扫罗职业生涯的悲剧性解读，本文试图勾勒出耶和华之灵的表现和作用与撒母耳记上折磨扫罗的邪灵之间的相似之处。通过强调这两种精神之间的相似之处，下面的论点表明，它们分别在确认选举和拒绝以及增强或削弱其接受者方面发挥着类似的作用。这个比喻提供了一个合适的方式，来理解更广泛的，折磨扫罗的邪灵的表现，对我们如何看待扫罗的拒绝，以及更广泛的，他的表现，有重要的启示。
