Equity Among Inner Warriors

1 Samuel 30:21-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Samuel 30 in context

Scripture Focus

21And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
22Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
23Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
24For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
25And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
1 Samuel 30:21-25

Biblical Context

David divides the spoil equally for all who joined the effort, establishing a lasting rule of shared bounty for those who fought and those who stayed behind.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the scene as a drama of your own consciousness. The two hundred fainting men and those who pressed on are not separate beings; they are inner states within the one I AM. The wicked men of Belial represent a split identity that would keep victory to the few, but David, speaking from the LORD within, declares that what is given belongs to all. The line 'the LORD hath given us' is your awareness acknowledging that the prize you see is already yours in consciousness, delivered into your hand by your own unity. The law 'as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff; they shall part alike' becomes an inner covenant: every facet of you—effort and rest, courage and doubt—receives an equal share of the result. When you hold this, the pursuit and the prize become one movement of consciousness, and abundance flows to every part of you, not just the part that acts openly. The first victory is your inner agreement; the outer form follows as a natural expression of that settled unity.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and, in imagination, distribute the fruits of your goal to every part of you, feeling the I AM praising the equal share; repeat until the feeling is real.
