Two Wives of Tekoa
1 Chronicles 4:5-7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Chronicles 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ashur, Tekoa's father, had two wives and produced two sets of sons. The passage catalogs this family to show the diversity of lineage within a single life.
Neville's Inner Vision
Imagine this script as a mirror of your own consciousness. Ashur is the I AM, the living awareness that births a given life—Tekoa stands as your particular field of experience. The two wives, Helah and Naarah, symbolize two flows of energy within you: the steady, grounded current and the restless, impulsive surge. They are not enemies but partners under one roof. When you stop splitting yourself by arguing who is right, you permit the inner house to stand as a single sanctuary. The sons—Ahuzam, Hepher, Temeni, Haahashtari, Zereth, Jezoar, Ethnan—are the inner movements of mind and feeling that arise in response to the world. Each one is simply a version of your desire, fear, memory, or intention moving within the same field of awareness. The unity comes not by negating one branch but by acknowledging all as expressions of I AM itself—dignified, alive, and capable of harmony. In that light, community begins inside: your inner family mirrors the outer world, and the 'sons' prosper as you dwell in the certainty that you are complete now.
Practice This Now
Assume, right now, that you are the I AM, and revise any sense of separation by gently declaring 'I am whole.' Close your eyes and imagine the two wives seated as one, the sons playing in your inner hall, and let the feeling of unity rise until it feels real.
