Nob, Doeg, and the I AM
1 Samuel 22:9-12 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 22 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
