Inner Siege, Inner Wealth

1 Kings 20:1-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 20 in context

Scripture Focus

1And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
2And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,
3Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
1 Kings 20:1-3

Biblical Context

Benhadad, king of Syria, besieges Samaria and sends messengers declaring that silver, gold, wives, and children are his. The scene depicts external oppression attempting to seize what the inner state calls its own.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene, the siege and the demand are symbolic of a mind under the impression of lack. Benhadad represents the voice that claims outside forces own your wealth and what you cherish. The thirty-two kings are the many fears that crowd the mind, insisting that provision and safety come only through external power. Samaria, the city, stands for your inner awareness, presently besieged by the belief that life can be emptied by an external decree. Neville-style this is an invitation to awaken: you are the I AM, the single source of all reality. When you acknowledge that all riches, protection, and relationship inwardly belong to you by presence, you revise the scene. Speak from the I AM: ‘My wealth and even my loved ones are mine by divine right of consciousness; no external army can claim them.’ Hold that truth with feeling until it expands into a felt sense of abundant life from within, dissolving the siege.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, declare, 'I am the Source of all wealth and protection; external claims dissolve in the light of my awareness,' and feel the abundance flowing from within.
