Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 1:11-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 1 in context

Scripture Focus

11Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?

12Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

13Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?

14Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

1 Kings 1:11-14

Biblical Context

Nathan informs Bathsheba of Adonijah’s bid to reign and counsels her to approach King David to reaffirm the oath that Solomon shall reign; he will come in afterward to confirm her claim.

Neville's Inner Vision

Adonijah represents a counterfeit reign of the mind—a thought that claims the throne by fear or memory. David stands for the conscious life, the current awareness that seems to rule. Bathsheba and Nathan are the inner voices—imagination and prophetic insight—that plead for a higher order. Solomon embodies the true reign—the wisdom, peace, and arranged harmony of life when the covenant within is acknowledged. The oath that Solomon shall reign is the inner promise you accepted when you aligned with the reality that your life is governed by a divine ordinance. To secure the reign, you must address the throne from your present awareness and remind it of the covenant. Then the higher self, the I AM within, will come in after you and confirm the decree. When you refuse the counterfeit rule and dwell in the memory of the promise, the inner king takes the throne and the kingdom of God awakens within you.

Practice This Now

Assume the throne of Solomon in your mind now and affirm, 'Solomon rules in me right now.' Feel the authority as if it were already real, then invite your higher self to confirm this decree within your awareness.
