Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 1:11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 1 in context

Scripture Focus

11And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

2 Chronicles 1:11

Biblical Context

God notes Solomon's heart desired wisdom to govern His people, not riches, wealth, or long life. True authority follows from this inner priority rather than external gain.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon’s petition reveals a state of consciousness, not a political biography. In thy heart signals an inner assumption—your imagination and the I AM—the source of all authority. Because Solomon wants wisdom to judge the people rather than to hoard riches, his kingship is granted as a conscious alignment with divine purpose. When the mind chooses discernment over appetite, God’s gift of ruling power is given as an outer reflection of the inner king. Wealth, honours, or a long life are not the aim; they are the byproducts of the right inner posture. The verse invites you to claim your inner kingship by nurturing the faculty of wisdom, by using imagination to discern truth, and by serving your life with justice. The I AM within you is the true king; your world follows your inner decree. So, stand in that consciousness now, and let the outer be the fruit of the inner union.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the inner state of Solomon, wisdom ruling your decisions; revise any attachment to wealth, and feel the I AM directing your life as king. Stay with that felt reality for a few breaths, allowing outer events to mirror the inner decree.
