Inner Lineage of David's Kingship
1 Chronicles 3:1-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 3 in context
Scripture Focus
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."
