Scripture Focus

1Now these were the sons of David, which were born unto him in Hebron; the firstborn Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess; the second Daniel, of Abigail the Carmelitess:
2The third, Absalom the son of Maachah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur: the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith:
3The fifth, Shephatiah of Abital: the sixth, Ithream by Eglah his wife.
4These six were born unto him in Hebron; and there he reigned seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years.
5And these were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shimea, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, four, of Bathshua the daughter of Ammiel:
6Ibhar also, and Elishama, and Eliphelet,
7And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
8And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet, nine.
1 Chronicles 3:1-8

Biblical Context

David's sons are named and traced by where they were born—Hebron first, then Jerusalem—showing a lineage tied to two inner states of kingship.

Neville's Inner Vision

David represents the I AM, the central awareness that births every scene of life. The names and births are not mere history but the emergence of inner states of mind. Hebron signifies an earlier, stable throne—the where and when of your first conscious reign—while Jerusalem marks a fuller, peacable dominion, the established king within. The six born in Hebron and the nine born in Jerusalem symbolize multiple facets of your consciousness arising and maturing under the one divine rule. Amnon, Absalom, Solomon, and the rest are energies and attitudes, not separate people to judge, but aspects you witness and affirm. The measured years—seven years and six months, then thirty-three years—point to the duration and depth of inner assurance, from awakening to settled sovereignty. When you align with David’s line—the I AM reigning over all these facets—the outer history of life yields to your inner reality. You carry the kingdom wherever you are, by remaining faithful to the imaginative act that makes this kingly life real.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and name each inner son as an aspect of your consciousness; then place a hand on your chest and affirm, "I am the king within; I reign over all my states."
