Inner Justice in 1 Samuel 25:20-22

1 Samuel 25:20-22 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 25 in context

Scripture Focus

20And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
21Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
22So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
1 Samuel 25:20-22

Biblical Context

David plans vengeance after feeling wronged, while Abigail interrupts, and the scene pivots toward mercy instead of wrath.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner drama here is not about men and hills, but about the state you inhabit in consciousness. David’s vow of vengeance is the moment you catch yourself saying, 'I have been wronged, so the world must repay me.' The energy of that vow travels outward as a looming fate—the sense that others’ deeds determine your safety. Abigail’s intervention represents the rising, quiet I AM within you that refuses to honor that old contract. The hill and the encounter are symbols: a covert place in awareness where you can turn away from the impulse to strike and instead invoke a higher order of justice—one that preserves life and redirects the energy back into your own creative power. When you imagine that divine defense is not external punishment but the steady correction of your own state, you do not punish the enemies of David; you redeem the attitude that calls forth punishment. The narrative invites you to revise the scene by claiming a merciful ruler within, a governor who judges rightly and compassionately. See the moment, then linger in the feeling of this revised state until the outer event aligns.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, revise the scene—declare, 'I am the I AM governing this moment with mercy.' Feel this truth until it radiates through your day.
