Inner Feast, Kingly Grace

2 Samuel 13:23-25 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 13 in context

Scripture Focus

23And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
24And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
25And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
2 Samuel 13:23-25

Biblical Context

After two full years, Absalom hosts sheep-shearers and invites the king’s sons. The king declines to go; Absalom presses, but the king blesses him and does not accompany him.

Neville's Inner Vision

Absalom in your mind is the bold impulse to gather all your outward faculties for a grand show. The sheep-shearers symbolize your daily duties dressed as a feast, a setup to lure the I AM into a scene of performance. When he invites the king’s sons, you are confronting the moment when many selves press to stand before the throne of awareness. The king’s reply—no, we need not all go lest we become a burden—sets a boundary: the I AM does not need the approval of every outward part to be complete. Absalom presses, yet the king blesses him, showing that grace remains with or without the outward demonstration. The inward lesson is that true power is not the spectacle of association but the steadfast, untroubled kingship of the I AM. When you stop chasing external manifestations and align with the inner king, the scene in your life resolves into blessing, harmony, and a sense that you have already wealth, favor, and belonging within your own consciousness.

Practice This Now

Practice: Close your eyes and assume the I AM as king now. Visualize Absalom inviting all your impulses to a grand feast, then softly revise by blessing your whole self and affirming, 'I am complete in the I AM.'
