Innocence Demonstrated Within

1 Samuel 24:11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 24 in context

Scripture Focus

11Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.
1 Samuel 24:11

Biblical Context

David shows Saul the hem of his robe to prove he harmed him not, declaring his innocence. He faces pursuit with restraint, asserting righteousness while fearing opposition.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the scene, the robe becomes a symbol of the inner decision that you have harmed no one. Saul’s chase is the voice of fear pressing your attention toward guilt. When David declares there is 'neither evil nor transgression in mine hand,' he is pointing you to the I AM—awareness that cannot commit harm and cannot be harmed by circumstance. The outer pursuit cannot touch the reality of your true self, which remains innocent and intact. The hem, visible in the quiet moment, is the proof you need that you have acted in alignment with life, not with aggression or blame. In Neville's terms, you revise the circumstance by assuming the state of innocence and feeling it as real. Your inner state becomes the source from which events flow; the world merely reflects the certainty you hold about who you are. To practice, adopt this inner demonstration: hold the robe in your mind, affirm, I am innocent; I have sinned against no one; there is no evil in my hands, and feel that conviction until it lights your day.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Hold the robe in your mind and revise by declaring, 'There is no evil in my hands'—feel it real until the world reflects your inner innocence.
