Inner Repentance, Saul's Return

1 Samuel 26:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 26 in context

Scripture Focus

21Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
1 Samuel 26:21

Biblical Context

Saul confesses his sin and asks David to return, saying he will harm him no more because David's soul was precious to him that day. He acknowledges he has acted foolishly.

Neville's Inner Vision

Saul's confession on the page is not a distant history but a living bookmark of a state of consciousness. The man who would destroy David is the ego clinging to fear, pride, and a fading sense of separation. When he says I have sinned and bids David farewell with a blessing, he is naming the inner movement by which the I AM inside awakens to its own misalignment. The phrase 'my soul was precious in thine eyes' becomes a symbol for the moment your awareness sees the other as reflections of your own value. The act of saying I will no more do thee harm signals a revision of sensation: you do not allow the former picture of self to govern you any longer. In Neville's terms, God is not a distant judge but the I AM that recognizes itself in every passage of your inner narrative. Hatred, fear, and mistake dissolve as you affirm that the kingdom of peace is already within, and that all outward events echo the inward alignment.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of Saul's repentance as your own; say, 'I am the I AM forgiving myself' and 'I am returned to the true David within me'.
