Inner Governance of Dor
1 Kings 4:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse records a marriage: Abinadab's son in Dor weds Taphath, Solomon's daughter.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your inner Dor is a field you govern with intention. The son of Abinadab, scattered across this region, represents a part of your consciousness engaged in practical life. Taphath, daughter of Solomon, embodies royal wisdom and loyal affection. Their marriage is thus not a geographic event but the union of action with discernment within the self. When you imagine this inner arrangement, you rehearse covenant loyalty and community harmony. The region of Dor becomes an inner territory you claim, not a distant land you visit; by aligning these two states, you invite order, cooperation, and love of neighbor into your life. Neville teaches that outer circumstance mirrors inner assumption, so this image is a catalyst for a more united, peaceful world—governed from the I AM as you hold the belief that these two inner streams are now one.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes. Assume the end: Dor is governed by a single ruler—the I AM within you. Picture Abinadab’s son (your practical mind) taking Taphath (wisdom's daughter) as wife; feel their union as inner harmony and ready your outer world for harmonious alliances.
