Inner Lineage of the King Within
1 Chronicles 2:13-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 2 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jesse's sons and Zeruiah's sons appear as an inner lineage of states and energies, a mental family that culminates in David—the king within.
Neville's Inner Vision
Jesse represents the house of awareness; his sons are the array of thoughts, habits, and impulses that arise in consciousness. The seventh son, David, is not a person here but the manifested king, the unified order of all energies. Zeruiah and Abigail, the sisters, symbolize the nurturing and directing aspects of mind that shape power. Abishai, Joab, and Asahel—the sons of Zeruiah—stand for courage, strategy, and zeal moving within the inner community. The succession is not a historical record but an inner map: when you attend to these states with quiet attention, you discover the I AM you are is the same I AM reading. The presence of God in this reading is the harmony of these energies under a sovereign sense of unity. By assuming the feeling of governance—the king seated upon your heart’s throne—you revise inner discord into unity, and life follows that royal order with ease and clarity.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and view the names as a map of your inner life; then aloud or in feeling declare, 'David is king now.' Feel the entire inner family aligning under one sovereign sense, and let that unity radiate as your immediate experience.
