Saul's Death, Inner Reign

1 Chronicles 1:49 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 1 in context

Scripture Focus

49And when Shaul was dead, Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.
1 Chronicles 1:49

Biblical Context

The verse depicts the old ruler dying and a new inner governor taking the throne; it is the inner relocation of authority within mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Acts of the Chronicle, the outer event mirrors an inner conversion. When Saul dies in consciousness, the throne becomes vacant, and Baalhanan son of Achbor steps in as the ruling idea. This Baalhanan is not a person but a symbol of a new capacity—kingly wisdom, providence, plain guidance—entering the mind. In Neville's terms, places are dispositions and events are movements of thought. The dying of Saul frees space for a higher self to declare its sovereignty. The inner man who will govern is not a struggle but a shift of awareness: the I AM, steady and bright, acknowledging a fresh reign. The law of assumption says: assume the throne has already shifted; feel the authority of Baalhanan as present, now, in charge. Align your breathing, your posture, your attention with a mind that acts from the conclusion that you are ruled by a benevolent ruler rather than by fear. Providence moves through you when you allow this new king to govern the scenes of your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe, and declare, 'I reign within; the old self is dead, a new king rules my inner kingdom.' Then persist in the feeling of that reign for a few moments.
