Read 1 Kings 9 in context

Scripture Focus

10And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,

11(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.

13And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.

14And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

1 Kings 9:10-14

Biblical Context

After twenty years Solomon completes the two houses, Hiram furnishes materials, and Solomon gives Hiram twenty cities in Galilee. Hiram visits, finds the cities displeasing, calls the land Cabul, and sends sixty? or one hundred twenty talents of gold. (Text: 9:10–14)

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's lens, the two houses symbolize the inner temple where God-consciousness dwells and the outward governorship of thought. The arrangement with Tyre and the gift of cities are symbolic of energy and value moving through consciousness as outward forms. Hiram’s displeasure exposes a misalignment between form and state—the mind’s judgment that what is given in the outer world lacks resonance with the inner I AM. The land Cabul marks a moment of inner doubt, a sense that the result is not aligning with the true self. The 120 talents of gold signify the perpetual cadence of supply when the inner state is rightly aligned with divine presence. The narrative invites you to realize that true wealth is not the mere appearance of cities or gold, but the harmony of your inner I AM with all you choose to express. When you revise your state to acknowledge yourself as the source of wealth, outer gifts appear as accurate reflections of that inner covenant.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and revise the scene by affirming: 'I am the source of all wealth; I give to myself only what serves my higher self.' Then feel the reality of abundance circulating through your inner temple.
