Inner Lamb Restoration

2 Samuel 12:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 12 in context

Scripture Focus

5And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:
6And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
2 Samuel 12:5-6

Biblical Context

David condemns a man for taking a lamb and lacking pity, calling for death and a fourfold restoration.

Neville's Inner Vision

David's outward scene is a mirror for your inner state of judgment. The 'man' represents a stubborn habit of thought that robs life, while the 'lamb' is the innocence within you affected by such judgment. The decree of death is not a literal sentence, but the mind's impulse to erase error by force rather than to transform it. Behind this scene stands the I AM, the LORD within, not a judge but a radiant awareness that reveals truth. The 'fourfold restoration' signals inner balance returning to consciousness as you replace condemnation with compassion and understanding. To work this text Neville's way, reframe: I am the one who acted; I forgive that act and revise the scene so mercy—rather than punishment—restores the life of the lamb in my awareness. When you do, the sense of separation dissolves, and life is restored fourfold in your consciousness because you now behold everything with love and the awareness of your true I AM nature.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume: I am the I AM; I forgive the act within me and restore the lamb fourfold through compassion, justice, wisdom, and mercy. Hold that merciful awareness for a few minutes until it feels real.
