Neville Goddard on 1 Kings 5:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 1 Kings 5 in context

Scripture Focus

7And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.

8And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.

1 Kings 5:7-8

Biblical Context

Hiram rejoices at Solomon's wise rule, blesses the LORD, and pledges support. He commits to supplying cedar and fir for the king's great work.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon's words to Hiram awaken a state of recognition in the other man: the royal plan already exists in consciousness. Hiram's joy is not merely gratitude for timber; it is a sign that the inner alignment of wisdom has taken root. When he blesses the LORD and calls David's son wise, he names the I AM at work as the source of decision and craft. The timber he offers becomes symbolic of mental faculties - cedar for nobility, fir for endurance - flowing from a single, well-ordered state of mind. The pledge to fulfill all that is asked reveals that outer support follows inner assent; the outer kingdom mirrors the inner kingdom. In Neville's terms, the events are movements of consciousness, not separate acts: a shift to a state in which the 'king over this great people' exists within you, and the world around you assumes its form accordingly. Practice this: choose to identify with the wise ruler within, and watch how gratitude and clear intention attract the resources your life requires, turning your inner covenant into tangible provision.

Practice This Now

Assume you are the wise ruler over your inner life and feel gratitude for the wisdom already yours. Imagine the resources arriving - timber for your project - supporting your life as a sign that the inner covenant is fulfilled.
