6Beerah his son, whom Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

1 Chronicles 5:5-6

Biblical Context

Beerah, a prince of the Reubenites, was carried away captive by Tilgath-pilneser, king of Assyria. The passage hints at an inner exile that can be read as a disruption within the self.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the names Micah, Reaia, Baal, Beerah are not genealogies but states of consciousness. The 'captivity' of Beerah by an Assyrian king is your mind allowing a harsher thought or fear to seize a part of your inner leadership—the prince of the Reubenites. In Neville's psychology, kingdoms rise and fall within the I AM; Tilgath-pilneser stands for an external pressure that makes you feel separated from your own sovereignty. Yet the truth of your being is not the captive but the watcher, the I AM, who dwells behind every scene. When you identify with the exiled prince, you experience limitation; when you align with the I AM, you reclaim the throne. The verse invites you to acknowledge that suffering or exile signals a moment to revise your inner posture rather than chase outward relief. By affirming the I AM as the unchanging ruler, you reverse the scene: the captive returns to power, and the inner prince resumes command over the land of your heart.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes; breathe deeply. Assume I AM is the ruler of your inner land and that the captive is only a thought; feel the prince returning to his throne.
