Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 11:10-11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 11 in context

Scripture Focus

10And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?

11And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.

2 Samuel 11:10-11

Biblical Context

Uriah refuses to go home while the ark and Israel stay in tents, showing his loyalty and integrity; his stance contrasts with attempts to bend him to a personal plan.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the gospel story Uriah's essence is a state of consciousness that remains faithful to the Whole. The ark stands for the Presence of God within you, while Israel and Judah represent your complete awareness. The tents symbolize the open conditions of life that have not yet yielded to personal appetite. Uriah's stance refuses to yield to lesser impulses and holds to the divine order. David represents a dream of separation a thought that would divide outer appearance from inner purpose. But Uriah holds the line, living as if the divine law governs every action. This is not punishment but a reminder that integrity is a permanent state of being a spiritual law you follow regardless of circumstance. When you recognize Uriah within you awaken to the truth that fidelity is not a momentary virtue but the way you exist. Practice inhabiting this state and watch the outer scene reflect your inner loyalty to life and truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and assume the inner stance of Uriah the unwavering loyalist to truth; dwell in the Presence and declare I will not betray this order and feel it as your present reality.
