Naboth's Inner Trial
1 Kings 21:12-13 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 21 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Publicly Naboth is set up and condemned by false witnesses, ending in his death by stoning in the sight of the people. The scene exposes how the mind can destroy truth through collective judgment.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within your inner city, Naboth corresponds to a cherished truth or conviction you hold as real. The king represents your I AM presence, the awakened awareness that rules your inner kingdom. The proclamation of a fast marks a decision to deny or starve the truth, while two Belial-born men are the voices of doubt and attack that stand before the mind's audience and accuse your inner state of blasphemy, projecting guilt onto God and the king. The stoning is not a literal death but the death of that belief under the weight of fear-activated thoughts. The people are the crowd of sensations, judgments, and habits that observe the drama, validating whichever story the mind tolerates. Neville-esque practice: recognize this as inner theater and refuse to consent to the doom. Return to I AM, revise the scene by affirming that you are the witness of all that arises, and that no accusation can alter your divine nature. When you feel the sting of judgment, realize the law of assumption: you can resurrect Naboth by imagining the truth of your divine being alive within you, unshaken by voices.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, observe the two accusers inside, and then revise the script by silently declaring, 'I AM the witness; I revoke the charge; Naboth lives in me as truth.' Feel the inner peace as the mind aligns with divine presence.
