The Inner Overseer Of Work

1 Kings 5:16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Kings 5 in context

Scripture Focus

16Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
1 Kings 5:16

Biblical Context

The verse shows an inner chief over the work with many overseers; Neville’s reading sees this as the inner governors organizing thoughts and labor in the mind.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Solomon’s plan, I say: your mind is a workshop, and the ruler is the I AM that never falters. Beside the chief officer who governs the work, there are countless servants—thoughts, feelings, habits—arrayed under the direction of consciousness. The number 3,300 is not merely a census; it is the sense of disciplined forces moving in harmony, each one obedient to the claim of your imagined state. When you fix your attention on a desired outcome, you are appointing that chief over the work and calling the other workers to align. The kingdom of God is not distant but seated within a well-ordered workshop, where kingship and authority are the inner recognition that you are the one who imagines. If fear arises, revise the image: the I AM rules, and fear becomes a subordinate now redirected into constructive effort. In practice, you can let the inner governor organize a project, inviting the many mental workers to serve the one purpose.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, take a breath, and imagine the inner chief standing over a busy workshop. See the 3,300 overseers aligning to manifest a single goal, and feel it as already real.
