Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 1:13-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 1 in context

Scripture Focus

13Then Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned over Israel.

14And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, which he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

15And the king made silver and gold at Jerusalem as plenteous as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the vale for abundance.

16And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.

17And they fetched up, and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so brought they out horses for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, by their means.

2 Chronicles 1:13-17

Biblical Context

Solomon travels from the high place at Gibeon to Jerusalem, gathering chariots, horses, and wealth with cedar trees in abundance. He then reigns over Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Solomon's ascent from the high place to the heart of Jerusalem is a symbolic movement of consciousness. The high place represents your wider awareness, the move to Jerusalem signals that awareness now governing the affairs of your life. The gathering of chariots, horses, silver, gold, and cedar is not mere history; it is the inner economy of your mind in action—the powers you wield and the form they take when you believe. These are the faculties you claim and the wealth you permit into your world when you live from the I AM present within. The prices paid for horses and chariots are the precise costs your mind assigns to power, while Egypt and the linen yarn show that supply can come from anywhere when your assumption aligns with the truth of your kingly state. When Solomon reigns over Israel, your inner kingdom asserts authority over subordinate patterns and appearances. Wealth and provision unfold not as external events, but as the natural expression of your realized state within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the role of Solomon, the I AM ruling over your inner land. Feel abundance as wealth, chariots, and rank already yours in Jerusalem; let the scenery and prices dissolve as you accept your state as already realized.
