Inner Covenant and Crown Within

1 Kings 2:43-45 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 2 in context

Scripture Focus

43Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
44The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;
45And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
1 Kings 2:43-45

Biblical Context

Shimei is confronted for not keeping the LORD's oath; the king declares that divine judgment will return his wickedness to Shimei, while Solomon's reign will be blessed and David's throne established forever.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the oath of the LORD is the sacred vow you make to live in harmony with your I AM now. Shimei represents the old doubts that lurk in the back of your mind, the confession you 'know' you harbor about past wrongs to your father-David—the image of your nobler self. When you remain faithful to the inner commandment, the natural law swells and returns any hidden wickedness to its own head, not as condemnation from outside, but as the inevitable return of your unspent energy. The blessing of Solomon and the establishment of David's throne are your inner crown: a steady, wise authority ruling in alignment with divine order. You are called to see that sovereignty as already present within, awaiting your conscious recognition. As you choose to keep the inner oath, your inner kingdom is established before the LORD forever; obstacles become stepping-stones, and you walk in a constancy of power that endures.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place your hand on your chest, and affirm, 'I keep the LORD's oath now in my heart.' Then imagine the throne of David rising within you as a calm, wise ruler, and dwell in that feeling-it-real state for a few breaths.
