Read 1 Samuel 19 in context

Scripture Focus

2But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:

3And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.

1 Samuel 19:2-3

Biblical Context

Jonathan warns David about Saul and advises him to hide in a secret place until morning, while Jonathan plans to speak to Saul and report back.

Neville's Inner Vision

Jonathan’s warning to David is a parable of the inner state. Saul, the hunting fear, pursues the beloved idea of David—the true self—within your mind. Jonathan, Saul’s son, is the loyal ally of your higher awareness, the I AM that loves and defends your worth. The counsel to abide in a secret place and hide yourself is the invitation to turn away from the outer drama and rest in the sanctuary of inner perception. In that quiet place you are safe, not because the world is safe, but because your attention is anchored in an unshakable awareness that cannot be moved by appearances. Jonathan’s pledge to stand beside his father and report what he sees represents your disciplined faculty of insight, reporting to you the truth your state of consciousness has discerned. What you see, what the inner vision reveals, becomes the signal you revise in imagination. Thus, you do not deny the danger; you transmute it by remaining in the shelter of awareness and letting the morning inevitable revelation align you with a higher self that is always alive to your value. The secret place unlocks the felt sense of protection here and now.
