Naboth’s Inner Court

1 Kings 21:11-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 21 in context

Scripture Focus

11And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
1 Kings 21:11-14

Biblical Context

Naboth is publicly condemned by a corrupt city, symbolizing how collective fear and false scripts can murder inner truth. The passage shows how a popular verdict can override righteousness and enforce tyranny.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this text the vineyard stands for your inner estate, Naboth the unwavering principle you awaken in the heart of your being. Jezebel and the elders are not merely people; they are a state of consciousness that yields to fear, to the letter, to the crowd. The two Belial children are the split voices of false witness that arise when you doubt your own I AM and lend power to appearances. The fast proclaimed among the people is the ritual of collective belief that hides the truth in a ceremony of conformity. The stoning is the mental judgment that follows when you accept an external verdict as real. Yet the true king of your life is the I AM within, not the opinion of the many. So, realize that you can rewrite the scene from within. Assume that the law being executed is your true inner covenant; let Naboth live in your awareness by choosing to identify with the principle rather than the appearance. When you revise the script, the crowd's stones fall away, and justice flows from the inner rightness of God in you.

Practice This Now

Assume the role of the I AM and revise the scene: Naboth is alive and honored; the crowd’s verdict dissolves. Feel the certainty of inner justice and let it settle into your chest.
