Dwelling With Achish: Inner Exile

1 Samuel 27:3 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 27 in context

Scripture Focus

3And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
1 Samuel 27:3

Biblical Context

David dwelt with Achish at Gath, with his men and households, including his two wives.

Neville's Inner Vision

Your present verse invites you to refuse the famine of want by entering the assumed state of abundance. David's dwelling with Achish is the inner act of saying, I am already at home in a world that men call foreign. The 'two wives' and the households symbolize faculties under harmonious rule—wisdom, courage, nurturance—now under your imagining. Exile becomes invitation: you are not escaping, you are rehearsing the sovereign consciousness that can dwell anywhere and make it home. The scene is not external; it is the feeling that your I AM presence commands the field. Thus the outer scene follows the inner attitude; when you assume the state, it reforms relationships, boundaries, and unity inside you. You are not in exile; you are temporarily choosing the outer scene to reflect the riches of your inner kingly order.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, picture yourself already dwelling in your inner home, and declare, I AM here now; feel your faculties—counsel, courage, and affection—united as one.
