Neville Goddard on 1 Chronicles 18:11-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 18 in context

Scripture Focus

11Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

12Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.

13And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.

14So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.

1 Chronicles 18:11-14

Biblical Context

David gathered silver and gold from many nations to honor the LORD, then extended his rule and secured Edom under his service. In this passage, the LORD preserves him as he reigns with judgment and justice over all Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

David is the state of consciousness you call the I AM, the inner king who rules your life. The silver and gold are your thoughts and energies dedicated to the LORD within, and the victories over nations signify the power of imagination when aligned with divine law. The battle in the valley of salt represents facing and dissolving stubborn habits in the arid places of mind. Setting garrisons in Edom marks the establishment of inner dominions, while the Edomites becoming servants shows lower mind elements bowing to your higher purpose. The line that the LORD preserved David wherever he went is the truth that alignment with the I AM safeguards your path in every circumstance. Finally, David reigning over all Israel and executing judgment and justice reflects inner sovereignty: a life governed by truth, integrity, and righteous order, radiating outward as life itself.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the inner king state now. Visualize dedicating the wealth of your thoughts to the LORD and feel providence guiding every choice, so you reign with justice in every act.
