Inner Kingship of David
1 Chronicles 12:31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
A named segment of Manasseh came forward to crown David as king, symbolizing inner endorsement of rightful authority.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this verse, the half-tribe of Manasseh, named and numbered, steps forth to crown David. Spiritually, the line of Manasseh represents a division of your inner faculties—tribal energies divided by memory, history, and habit—yet they are called by name to legitimate a ruler within. When you hear 'to come and make David king,' hear it as the inward invitation of consciousness to declare a new sovereignty: the I AM, the undivided awareness that you are the king of your own kingdom. The act of being 'expressed by name' is not external validation but an inner naming of qualities—courage, wisdom, mercy, steadiness—each named, each acknowledged, so they may consolidate into a single, royal state. The number (eighteen thousand) signifies the magnitude of this inner alignment: a vast, organized power moving to crown the true ruler, not by force but by the acceptance of your inner unity. Thus the Kingdom of God is awakened within, when your inner voices bow to the I AM and allow David to reign.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the state 'I AM king now.' Picture aspects of yourself—named and gathered—rising to crown David on a throne within your mind, and feel the inner tribe’s allegiance aligning with your sovereignty.
