(续上)「犹大人向我所行的」是犹大的过失:大卫没有杀该死的示每,后来从他生出末底改,哈曼因嫉恨末底改而降旨害全体以色列民;「便雅悯人报答我的」是扫罗没有立刻杀亚玛力王亚甲,后来从他生出哈曼,使以色列民受苦。

……犹大支派的过失,因为大卫没有杀示每,虽然他该当死罪。
the responsibility of Judah, as David did not kill Shimei, although he was liable to the death penalty.
-
这一过失的严重后果之一,就是从示每生出了末底改,哈曼嫉恨的正是他,以致哈曼降旨要害全体以色列民。
The grave consequences of this failure included that Mordecai was born from him, and it was he against whom Haman was jealous, leading Haman to issue a decree against all of the Jewish people.
-
「便雅悯人又怎样报答了我」,指的是属便雅悯支派的扫罗没有立刻杀亚玛力王亚甲,后来从亚甲生出了哈曼,他使以色列民受了苦难。
And how a Benjamite has repaid me is referring to the fact that Saul, who was from the tribe of Benjamin, did not kill the Amalekite king Agag immediately, from whom Haman was later born, and he caused suffering to the Jewish people.
