Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 11:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 11 in context

Scripture Focus

1Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

2And moreover in time past, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD thy God said unto thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over my people Israel.

3Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

1 Chronicles 11:1-3

Biblical Context

All Israel gathered to David at Hebron, acknowledged him as their ruler, and he made a covenant with them before the LORD, being anointed king over Israel as the LORD commanded.

Neville's Inner Vision

Let us consider that the gathering to David mirrors your own inner alignment of consciousness. ‘Bone and flesh’ signals the intimate unity of your faculties with the I AM, the inner king. When you answer the inner call, you hear the LORD declare that you shall feed your life and rule it. The elders coming to Hebron are your higher traits stepping forward to stand with the ruler you affirm as king, and the covenant you make is your decision to accept this reality now. The anointing is the felt assurance that this rule exists today; Samuel’s word is the divine memory that you are already king by the law of consciousness. In this light, the kingdom of God is not a distant place but a state of awareness already established within you.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In quiet, assume you are already king; feel the governing presence within and seal it with the I AM statement, 'I am the ruler of my life now.'
