Read 1 Chronicles 27 in context

Scripture Focus

25And over the king's treasures was Azmaveth the son of Adiel: and over the storehouses in the fields, in the cities, and in the villages, and in the castles, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah:

26And over them that did the work of the field for tillage of the ground was Ezri the son of Chelub:

27And over the vineyards was Shimei the Ramathite: over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars was Zabdi the Shiphmite:

28And over the olive trees and the sycomore trees that were in the low plains was Baalhanan the Gederite: and over the cellars of oil was Joash:

29And over the herds that fed in Sharon was Shitrai the Sharonite: and over the herds that were in the valleys was Shaphat the son of Adlai:

30Over the camels also was Obil the Ishmaelite: and over the asses was Jehdeiah the Meronothite:

31And over the flocks was Jaziz the Hagerite. All these were the rulers of the substance which was king David's.

1 Chronicles 27:25-31

Biblical Context

The passage names the officers who oversee the king's substance—treasures, fields, vineyards, trees, animals, and more—demonstrating a structured governance of wealth.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the quiet of your own consciousness, the word 'substance' becomes the living energy you call I AM. The list of stewards is a map of your inner faculties, each entrusted to conserve, cultivate, and distribute the richness of your awareness. Azmaveth, Jehonathan, Ezri, Shimei, Zabdi, Baalhanan, Joash, Shitrai, Shaphat, Obil, Jehdeiah, and Jaziz are not external officers but aspects of mind—memory, planning, growth, harvest, cultivation, nourishment, vitality, desire, action, mobility, and unity. When you acknowledge these rulers as parts of your own consciousness under the king, the substance of your life becomes orderly, alive, and purposeful. Scarcity loosens its grip as you recognize your inner kingdom already governs wealth with wisdom. The kingdom of God here is a felt state of abundance governed by your I AM, not a distant decree but an inner government aligned with imagination and faith.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and envision yourself as the king, appointing each inner faculty to oversee a portion of your wealth; affirm, I am the ruler of abundance now, and feel your inner storehouses respond with order and generosity.
