Inner Valley of Salt Victory
1 Chronicles 18:12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 18 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records Abishai the son of Zeruiah slaying eighteen thousand Edomites in the valley of salt. In Neville's sense, this points to an inner victory available to every believer.
Neville's Inner Vision
From the Neville lens, the text speaks not of a battlefield outside you but of the swift, decisive act of your inner I AM conquering hostile states within. The Edomites symbolize the stubborn judgments and fears lodged in your consciousness, the old identifications that say this is the way it must be. The valley of salt represents a purified, clear field where those accumulations are exposed and dissolved by attention and intention. When Abishai defeats eighteen thousand, it signifies a total and unconditional movement of consciousness, the I AM issuing a ruling that old conditions must pass away. Providence and guidance appear as the inner order that makes such a victory possible: your awareness refuses compromise with limitation and commands the mind to reorganize around truth. The moment you acknowledge that you are the I AM, you permit the inner army to act, not by force but by established will. The result is not a change of place but a change of state: a mind cleansed and aligned with its own fiery justice.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume the role of the I AM, declaring, I AM conquering my inner Edomites in the valley of salt. Feel the purification as doubts dissolve and the mind becomes clear and decisive.
