Solomon's Inner Crown
2 Samuel 12:24-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 12 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David comforts Bathsheba and their son Solomon is born. The LORD loves him and names him Jedidiah.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the scene, David represents your waking mind embracing the inner climate of Bathsheba—the emotional world you move through. Solomon's birth signals the emergence of your true ruler, the king within who can reign over desire and fear alike because the LORD, the I AM, approves. Jedidiah, the Beloved of the LORD, points to a state of consciousness that already stands loved, not earned. Nathan's presence marks inner discernment—prophetic insight that calls forth what is already true in consciousness. When you interpret this story as your own, you accept the inner covenant: you are loved, you are chosen, and you have authority to govern your thoughts and feelings with mercy and justice. The outward scene becomes a mirror of your internal kingdom. To practice, dwell in the feeling that you are the LORD's beloved and that your birthright is peaceful power, guided by grace rather than guilt. In this way, your life begins to reflect the kingship and compassion implied by Solomon's name and by the promise that your inner covenant is sealed.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare: I am Jedidiah—the beloved of the LORD. Then imagine Solomon, your inner king, stepping forward to govern your thoughts with mercy and calm; feel the I AM blessing you now.
