David's Hidden Hill Reflection
1 Samuel 26:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Samuel 26 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The Ziphites inform Saul that David hides on the hill of Hachilah, before Jeshimon. Saul rises with three thousand chosen men of Israel and searches for David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Neville's Inner Vision
All that you read here is a drama of your consciousness. The Ziphites are thoughts that run to the ego and announce 'Danger is near.' Saul is the outward ruler of fear, mobilizing a mighty army to hunt David in the wilderness. David, your authentic self, hides on the hill of Hachilah—a silent inner fortress where awareness abides just before the Jeshimon of lack and doubt. When you identify with Saul, you empower the chase; when you recognize that David is safe within you, the outer pursuit loses its grip. The wilderness of Ziph represents the restless surface of mind; the hill represents the vantage point of your I AM where you observe without being swept away. The point is a state of consciousness, not a historical fact: you can choose to inhabit the David-state—calm, kingly, awake—so that the outer world cannot overturn your inner sovereignty. Revise the scene by declaring, 'I am the I AM, the sovereign awareness that governs my every thought.' By feeling it real, you align with the higher order that already rules.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, assume the David-state now; feel the I AM surrounding you with calm. Declare, 'I am safe; the inner king governs my world' and breathe it in.
