David's Plot Reimagined

2 Samuel 11:14-17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 11 in context

Scripture Focus

14And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
15And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
16And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.
17And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
2 Samuel 11:14-17

Biblical Context

The passage depicts a king’s calculated murder plot: David drafts a letter to Joab ordering Uriah into the fiercest battle, leading to Uriah’s death and others’ casualties, exposing the king’s fall from righteousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this as a mirror for your inner state. David’s act is a belief that one can force outcomes by force of will. Yet the I AM, the true king in you, knows that all action is an inner movement of consciousness. Uriah’s loyalty represents a nobler impulse—faithfulness—now coerced into a 'death' by a belief that life can be bent by letters and fronts of battle. Joab’s plan mirrors the mind’s habit of projecting conflict into the outer world, while the actual scene is a movement of attention: what you fix your gaze upon grows, what you let go dissolves. The tragedy exposes a state where power over others replaces harmony with righteousness. The remedy is not more force but a new assumption: I am the one who writes my life; I revise every prior script, not by denying reality, but by aligning it with love and integrity. When you inhabit the I AM, you cannot script harm; you rewrite from the throne of inner justice, turning the scene toward mercy, protection, and the true government of peace.

Practice This Now

Practice: sit quietly, assume the I AM as writer of your life, and revise the scene to protect and honor loyalty; feel the shift as mercy replaces manipulation.
