1 Chronicles 2:21-23

Biblical Context

Hezron marries the daughter of Machir, begets Segub; Segub fathered Jair, who held 23 cities in the land of Gilead, and Jair took more towns from them, all belonging to Machir's line.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your I AM is the awakened Hezron in this tale, turning toward a lineage of power within. The marriage to Machir's daughter invites a new active principle into consciousness. Segub's birth signals a fresh initiative; Jair, with twenty-three cities, reveals many nuanced states of awareness you now host. The towns of Gilead, Kenath, Geshur, and Aram are not lands but mental states—habits, beliefs, loves, fears. To own them is to claim responsibility for your inner empire, the sovereignty of your deeper self over every thought and feeling. All these belong to the sons of Machir implies that you govern these inner cities from the depths of your I AM. The practice is simple: acknowledge a single city today and claim it as yours, allowing its governance to reshape your outer world by alignment and intention. Your inner kingdom expands as you refuse fragmentation and choose coherence, unity, and voluntary discipline.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are the governor of your inner kingdom; feel Jair’s twenty-three cities under your care and declare I AM sovereign over this realm.
