Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 1:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 1 in context

Scripture Focus

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 1:13-14

Biblical Context

Bathsheba asks David to honor the oath that Solomon would reign, challenging Adonijah's claim. The verses highlight how a covenant memory can establish rightful authority within the mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

1 Kings 1:13–14 is not a history lesson but a study in consciousness. The king is your inner state of authority, the throne your awareness that says I AM governs this life. Bathsheba's petition mirrors your own memory of a vowed ruling—the promise that Solomon, wisdom, would reign after the old order. Adonijah represents the restless thought that would deny the promised ruler. When you hold to the vow, you place your attention on the throne of wisdom and you invite the I AM to confirm it by present experience. The lines say, in effect, 'I will come in after you and confirm your words'—a reminder that the imagination is the instrument by which reality is revised. Thus, the future you seek is already present as an assumption, waiting to be felt as real. By recasting the scene as a present event—the inner king reigning—you align daily life with the truth that your covenanted intention is supreme.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and repeat, 'The inner king reigns now,' then imagine Solomon seated on a sunlit throne within your mind, feeling certainty steady your breath.
