Inner Solomon Anointing

1 Kings 1:31-34 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 1 in context

Scripture Focus

31Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
32And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
33The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
34And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.
1 Kings 1:31-34

Biblical Context

Bathsheba reveres the king and prompts Solomon's installation; David gathers Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah to anoint Solomon at Gihon, signaling Solomon's kingship over Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon's ascent is a conversion of self-concept, not a mere political event. Bathsheba's reverence and David's summons reveal that the power sought in the world begins as a decree within the I AM. The attendants—Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah—symbolize your disciplined faculties moving under a single governing idea. Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet personify inner law and wisdom that consecrate a new state; their anointing at Gihon, the living water of consciousness, signifies the pouring in of a new idea into your being. The mule on which Solomon rides represents your willingness to align with the higher state and carry it into action. The trumpet blast and the shout, 'God save king Solomon,' are outer confirmations that the inner decree is now your reality. The old king yields not by force but by a settled inner conviction. When you embrace Solomon as your present ruler, you awaken a steady stream of creative outcomes and a loyalty to the covenant of your fulfilled self. The inner kingdom declares itself through quiet certainty, not noise.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, breathe, and assume the present-tense state: 'I am Solomon, king of my inner Israel.' See the anointing flowing into you and hear the trumpet of realization; repeat daily.
