Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 10:6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 10 in context

Scripture Focus

6And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.

2 Samuel 10:6

Biblical Context

The verse shows Ammon forming alliances to oppose King David, illustrating how external force arises from inner discord. It signals that when you feel separated from your inner king, you seek outward supports.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider David as the king within your consciousness—the I AM—that rules your inner realm. When the Ammonites form alliances with Syrians, you hear the clamor of fear in your mind, a suggestion that your sovereignty is under siege. But the enemy is not outside; it is a hurtful belief that you are at the mercy of circumstances. These allied thoughts—doubt, worry, the urge to seek safety in numbers—are merely reflections of a prior choice to be separate from the king. The moment you recognize that all of this is happening within you, you reclaim the throne by refusing to feed the drama. Return to the assumption that you are the I AM, the one who commands the stage, and that these external 'forces' can be dissolved by the vivid act of imagining the inner army standing firm around the king. When you shift the state, the appearance of foreign armies collapses into stillness, and your world aligns with the kingdom of God within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the state of the I AM as sovereign king within you; revise the belief that threats control you by affirming, I AM the I AM, sovereign over all thoughts. Feel it real by breathing the sense of unwavering authority and watch inner alliances dissolve into harmony.
