David's Inner Victory

1 Chronicles 18:7-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 18 in context

Scripture Focus

7And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
9Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
1 Chronicles 18:7-9

Biblical Context

David acquires gold shields and brass from Hadarezer’s domains, using them as outer signs of conquered resources; Hamath’s king learns of David’s triumph, signaling the spread of his renown.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the outward trophies are but symbols of an inward state achieved by governing consciousness. David did not merely collect metal; he secured the outer signs that once reflected a mind aligned with Providence. The shields of gold, the brass of cities—these are the instruments of provision that come when you stand in the I AM, when your imagination rules as the creative center. The report of his victory to Hamath is the outer world confirming the inner decree. In Neville’s terms, the event shows that when you dwell in the conviction that you are supplied, your wealth and resources flow to you as a natural consequence. No fact of lack, only the new alignment of awareness that commands form to follow suggestion. Therefore, identify what you want as already yours, assume the feeling of it, and permit the world to bring the signs you require.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare you already possess the wealth and protection you seek; dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and move through your day with that assured sense of provision.
