David and the Inner Judgment
2 Samuel 11:27 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
After mourning passes, David takes Bathsheba as his wife and has a son, yet the verse notes the act displeased the LORD.
Neville's Inner Vision
In this brief line, the kingdom of David stands as a symbol of your own mind. Mourning represents an old state of lack or hesitation; to ‘fetch’ Bathsheba into the house is the mind seizing a desire and forming it in the world of appearances by personal will. The statement that the act displeased the LORD points to an inner law—your I AM—that does not sanction acts born of fear, pride, or self-will. The birth of a son reflects the visible fruit of an inner movement. To restore harmony, revise the scene by identifying with the sovereign I AM—the inner king who governs by divine order—and affirm that you are already acting in alignment with that law. When you assume you are one with this divine order, the inner restlessness dissolves and the outward event unfolds from that renewed state, not from personal striving.
Practice This Now
Assume you are the I AM, the inner king; revise the scene in imagination and feel-it-real that you already act in harmony with divine law.
