Neville Goddard on 2 Chronicles 11:18-23 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Chronicles 11 in context

Scripture Focus

18And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;

19Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.

20And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

21And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)

22And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.

23And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.

2 Chronicles 11:18-23

Biblical Context

Rehoboam takes Mahalath and Abihail as wives, fathers many children, and then disperses them across Judah and Benjamin; he elevates Abijah as ruler, governs wisely, provides abundantly, and desires many wives.

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, hear this not as history but as a map of your inner world. Rehoboam’s many wives and numerous offspring symbolize the multitude of desires and states within consciousness. His act of dispersing his children across cities reflects the inner discipline of placing every facet of your mind under a single, governing presence. Elevating Abijah as chief mirrors choosing a leading principle—a central I AM that orders all experiences. The abundance of victuals shows that when your inner government is clear, resources flow to every part of life. The verse invites you to examine how your attention can be spread or consolidated; you are reminded that true kingship is an inner alignment, not external conquest. By assuming the one ruler within, you shape how the outer world follows your inner order. You are the king of your inner kingdom, and reality will follow the clarity you establish now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the role of the inner king. Declare I AM as ruler, envision Abijah as your main conscious center, and imagine distributing your inner states across the 'cities' of your life while feeling abundant provision already present.
