Inner Records of the King
1 Kings 4:2-3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 4 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The passage names the king's officers: priests, scribes, and a recorder. It signals an inner order where wisdom, memory, and justice sustain the people.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville’s idiom, these names are not separate men but states of consciousness within the king’s mind. Azariah, the priest, embodies discernment and sacred authority—the waking call of truth in your awareness. Elihoreph and Ahiah, the scribes, represent the habitual thoughts and beliefs you copy and keep, the mental records that color your decisions. Jehoshaphat, the recorder, stands for your memory—the way you narrate your life back to yourself and to God. The king’s officers are your inner governance, and their harmony reflects the Kingdom of God within. When these faculties are aligned toward righteousness and unity, your outer world mirrors that order, and the community around you becomes a reflection of inner justice. You are invited to recognize that authority rests in your I AM, not in external titles. By acknowledging these inner offices and allowing each to serve compassion, discernment, and truthful memory, you co-create a life governed by divine order rather than mere circumstance. Practice: assume that your inner council governs your thoughts, align each role with love, and let their reports nourish confidence, peace, and unity within you.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and appoint an inner priest (discernment), inner scribes (your beliefs), and an inner recorder (your memory) as your counsel. Declare softly, 'I reign in the Kingdom of God within me,' and feel the authority of this inner governance establishing harmony in your thoughts and life.
