Solomon's Covenant and Remnant
1 Kings 11:11-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
God declares that Solomon's breach will lead to the kingdom being torn away. However, for David's sake, not all is lost; one tribe will remain for his son.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here, the outer narrative becomes your inner weather. The 'kingdom' is your state of awareness—the alignment you keep with the commandments of your own I AM. Solomon's act of turning away from the covenant is the moment you assume an imagined possession that does not belong to your true self. The commandment not kept becomes a rule you have displaced from your inner law, and the consequence is a tearing of the kingdom—your wholeness split into fragments of fear, desire, and doubt. Yet the text promises mercy: in your days, not entirely will you lose; a remnant remains for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen. In Neville's method, this means you can revise the feeling about your life: you can withdraw the allegiance from the fallible picture and affirm your one true king, the I AM, within. The 'servant' and the 'tribe' symbolize focused aspects of your consciousness that you select and cherish; you do not abandon all, but preserve a central city, your Jerusalem, as the seat of hopeful, chosen awareness.
Practice This Now
Impose a deliberate revision in your imagination: declare that your entire being remains loyal to the covenant within, and mentally preserve a single tribe of consciousness—your Jerusalem—as the ruling city of awareness.
