Scripture Focus

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

1 Chronicles 5:6-8

Biblical Context

Beerah, prince of the Reubenites, was carried away captive by Tilgath-pilneser; his brothers—chiefs Jeiel and Zechariah—are named, and Bela the son of Azaz, with his line, dwelt from Aroer to Nebo and Baalmeon.

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses reveal the inner geography of your mind. Beerah stands as the prince within you, the leadership that holds a portion of consciousness; when Tilgath-pilneser comes, external pressures carry the prince away into a captive state. But the genealogical line—Jeiel, Zechariah, Bela, Azaz—speaks of an enduring order inside, a continuity of faculties and loyalties that refuse to die. The places named—Aroer, Nebo, Baalmeon—are inner stations: Aroer for practical grounding, Nebo for ascent and insight, Baalmeon for the dwelling of unity. Exile is not annihilation; it is a temporary misalignment that invites you to return to your own I AM. By recognizing that you are the I AM, the observer of all thoughts, you can revise this moment and reestablish the line of your inner kingdom. The inner city remains intact, and in your imagination you can walk its streets, call your faculties by name, and know that your leadership endures even when appearances suggest otherwise.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Beerah as your inner prince restored; revise the scene by affirming, I AM the ruler of my inner kingdom, and exile is only a doorway home. Then picture moving from Aroer to Nebo and Baalmeon to reoccupy every inner territory.
