Solomon's Inner Wisdom Practice

2 Chronicles 1:8-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 1 in context

Scripture Focus

8And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9Now, O LORD God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
2 Chronicles 1:8-10

Biblical Context

Solomon acknowledges God's mercy to David, asks that the promise be established, and requests wisdom to govern the people.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, this scene unfolds not as a historical event but as a demonstration of your inner state. The mercy shown to David signifies the compassionate memory of your higher self toward your former self, awakening you to reign in your present consciousness. The phrase, 'Thou hast made me king over a people,' becomes the inner recognition that you now rule the field of your thoughts. 'Wisdom and knowledge' are the discernment and calm governing force you summon to navigate the currents of mind, impulses, and beliefs. The 'multitude' of people represents the vast procession of thoughts—fears, desires, habits—that crowd the inner arena. To 'establish the promise' is to align with the inner covenant already intact in principle, then to live from that truth. The act you are invited to perform is to assume the role of a wise ruler within your own life, to revise limitations with faith, and to feel the reality of orderly, enlightened administration taking place through you. This is the true kingdom Jesus spoke of—not a distant land, but your own awakened awareness ruling wisely from within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the state of wise king over your inner life. Silently declare, 'I am wise; I govern this people with discernment,' and dwell in the feeling of orderly thoughts obeying your will.
