Inner Covenant, Outer Consequence
2 Samuel 11:4-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 11 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David sends for Bathsheba, has relations with her, and she becomes pregnant, signaling an outer consequence of inner action.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the Neville eye, 2 Samuel 11:4-5 is a parable of inner states wearing outer clothes. David is the outward activity of your mind when it forgets its true I AM and acts from impulse. Bathsheba represents a present, alluring idea or desire that has entered the field of attention. The line about her purification reads as a sign that your inner discipline has not yet totalized purity in this moment, allowing a belief to surface and bear its fruit. The conception is the fruit of an inner act, and the public child is the outer appearance of an assumed state. The story teaches accountability: an unguarded inner assumption eventually translates into a life event. The remedy is to awaken within: identify the exact state you are occupying and revise it to reflect your true covenant—loyalty to I AM, holiness, and separation from temptation. When you dwell in the feeling of the I AM as your only reality, the outer scene lines up with that inner truth, and the 'child' becomes the sure fruit of your perfected state.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and assume the feeling of unwavering integrity: I am the I AM, loyal to my inner covenant. Then revise any memory of compromise and imagine the outer scene reflecting that inner state.
