Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 4:22-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 4 in context

Scripture Focus

22And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,

23Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.

1 Kings 4:22-23

Biblical Context

Solomon's daily provisions are richly described, signaling abundant provision for the king's household. The verse lists flour, meal, cattle, sheep, and game as signs of steady, generous supply.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner kingdom, the numbers become a map of the self's inner sustenance. The day is the present moment in which the I AM can furnish all needs from within. The thirty measures of flour and sixty measures of meal mark two streams of nourishment—belief and energy—available to a mind aligned with desire. The ten fat oxen and twenty from pastures, plus the hundred sheep, symbolize strong faculties: will, imagination, discernment, and productive power, brought into awareness. The deer and fatted fowl indicate swift thoughts and creative ideas that come when gratitude seasons consciousness. Solomon's table becomes the kingdom of God within, ruled by awareness rather than externals. When I inhabit that state, abundance is not an event but a steady condition; outer circumstances mirror the inner feast.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit comfortably, close your eyes, and imagine Solomon's table set before you. Accept the feeling of being abundantly provided, then declare, 'I AM abundantly provided now.' Let that sense settle, then move into your day from that state.
