Inner Valour in Obededom's House

1 Chronicles 26:6-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Chronicles 26 in context

Scripture Focus

6Also unto Shemaiah his son were sons born, that ruled throughout the house of their father: for they were mighty men of valour.
7The sons of Shemaiah; Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men, Elihu, and Semachiah.
8All these of the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and their brethren, able men for strength for the service, were threescore and two of Obededom.
1 Chronicles 26:6-8

Biblical Context

The passage lists Obed-edom's sons and their strong, capable service in their father's house, describing them as mighty men of valour.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this passage, the house of Obededom becomes your inner sanctuary, and the mighty men are the disciplined states of consciousness you marshal in service. The sons of Shemaiah—Othni, Rephael, Obed, Elzabad—symbolize faculties of mind that stand guard, not against armies, but against drift and doubt by their strength. When you acknowledge that the inner guards are at work, they govern the flow of energy in your day, turning intention into action and attention into worship. The tally—sixty-two, the many brethren—suggests the totality of your I AM presence arrayed in service, each part contributing to a single harmonious act. Reality is not out there but pressed inward, and the valour described is the vitality of consciousness when it serves from within. So the key is to see these strong men as present now, to feel their strength and to invite them to do the work in you.

Practice This Now

Close the eyes and declare, 'I am the ruler of my inner house; these mighty men stand watch over my day.' Then feel the strength of that state as if it already exists, and revise a current challenge by rehearsing the scene of your inner guards resolving it.
