Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 1:50 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 1 in context

Scripture Focus

50And when Baalhanan was dead, Hadad reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pai; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

1 Chronicles 1:50

Biblical Context

The verse records a change in rulership: Baalhanan dies and Hadad rises in Pai, and it notes Hadad's wife, Mehetabel, tracing her lineage.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outer pageantry is a symbol for inner states. Baalhanan’s death is not a historical ending but the surrender of a worn pattern of reaction that no longer serves your awakening. Hadad’s reign signals the establishment of a fresh state of consciousness, a new ruler who governs from the center of your being. Pai, the city named for this reign, stands for the inner dwelling place where imagination rules and attention remains fixed on the I AM. Mehetabel, the wife, embodies the receptive feminine principle that aligns memory and intention, the lineage (Matred, Mezahab) representing inherited habits of thought that support your present choice. The verse invites you to see who sits on the throne of your inner life and which alliances you authorize through belief. When you imagine an inner marriage between awareness (I AM) and desire (a future fulfilled), you enact the Kingdom of God within. Death of the old king makes room for the new ruler to be felt as real.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, declare, 'I am the ruler of inner Pai now; the old king Baalhanan is dead.' Then revise the story by feeling the new reign as real, inviting Mehetabel (inner wisdom) to guide your alignment with divine truth.
