Nob, Doeg, and the I AM

1 Samuel 22:9-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 22 in context

Scripture Focus

9Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
11Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
12And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
1 Samuel 22:9-12

Biblical Context

Doeg the Edomite reports David’s visit to Nob to Ahimelech the priest; Saul then summons all the priests, and Ahimelech replies that he is present, my lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

See this scene as a map inside your mind. Doeg’s report is a mental rumor, an edge of fear moving through your consciousness. Nob is the place where you consult inner counsel; Ahimelech the priest is your higher mind, ready to serve when you seek the Source. David stands for your true self seeking sustenance; the bread and Goliath’s sword reveal the means of inner nourishment and courage granted by the Presence. Saul represents the ego-king that judges and suppresses what it does not understand. Enquired of the LORD shows that interior communion with the I AM brings guidance, nourishment, and protection beyond outward appearances. The message is a call to revision: anchor your attention in the Presence, allow your inner priesthood to supply what you need, and act from discernment rather than fear. By choosing this alignment, you transform the scene from tragedy to a demonstration of inner sovereignty, where information and accusation become signals directing you back to the I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise the scene by affirming I am nourished and defended by the Presence. Imagine the inner priest within me offering bread and a sword of discernment.
