Inner News of the Priests Slain

Neville's Inner Vision

Abiathar’s escape and his report that Saul has slain the LORD's priests is not a mere chronicle of external event; it is a signal flare within the psyche. In Neville's tongue, David represents the I AM within you—your continuous awareness—while Saul embodies the habitual thoughts that would destroy your sacred agreement with God. The slaughter of the LORD's priests is the collapse of old identities seized by fear and doubt; yet Abiathar's flight is the emergence of a new fidelity, a decision to stand with the higher law within. The verse invites you to observe how a single inner revelation reshapes action: what you thought you knew is challenged, and yet your center remains untouched, the 'LORD's priests' preserved in your inner sanctuary. Do not look for resolution in the world first; turn inward and let the feeling of the wish fulfilled—the safety, the holiness, the covenant loyalty you affirm in silence—wash over you. When you revise the story from fear to faith, you align with the divine order that Saul cannot touch.
