Inner Rock of Adullam

1 Chronicles 11:15-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 11 in context

Scripture Focus

15Now three of the thirty captains went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
16And David was then in the hold, and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.
1 Chronicles 11:15-16

Biblical Context

Three captains descend to David at the rock, entering the cave of Adullam as the Philistine host encamps nearby; David is in the hold, with the garrison at Bethlehem.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this chronicle, you are offered a map of consciousness. The rock and cave of Adullam are your sanctuary where awareness rests; the three captains signify disciplined faculties drawn to assist your rising awareness. The host of the Philistines encamped in the valley of Rephaim is not a person but a movement of thought—doubt, fear, and the sense that danger lurks in the world. Bethlehem's garrison marks the stubborn claim that security lives in outer conditions. David, perched in the hold, is the I AM within you—the unshaken observer who sees through appearances. Your task is to withdraw allegiance from the phantoms of the world and enthrone the inner king. The outer scene shifts as your consciousness expands; the enemy loses its claim when you declare, I AM, and that you dwell within. This is the kingdom you seek—not elsewhere but in the quiet cave of awareness where all movement arises from you and returns to you.

Practice This Now

Sit in quiet, close your eyes, and imagine yourself as David in Adullam. Feel the cave as your awareness and declare I AM the author of all appearances, watching the outer scene soften.
