Inner Kingly Assurance

2 Samuel 13:32-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 13 in context

Scripture Focus

32And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
33Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
2 Samuel 13:32-33

Biblical Context

Jonadab tells David that Amnon is dead and reassures him not to fear that all the king's sons are dead; the passage centers on a singular event rather than a total collapse of the kingdom.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's way of reading Scripture, the king represents the I AM within every consciousness, and the 'sons' are inner states and impulses. Jonadab’s line acts as a mental diagnostic: beware the habit of enlarging a single outer event into the entire reality. The claim that 'Amnon only is dead' is not a historical fact to fear but a movement within awareness that has passed. The inner king is urged not to take the heartache to heart, which is a directive to revise fear by abiding in the unchanging fact of consciousness. When you perceive through this lens, you understand that events are not the totality of your being; they are appearances within your awareness, which remains intact and sovereign. The true kingdom is the awareness that perceives, knows, and loves; judgment and justice arise as you rest in that immutable self-knowledge. The fear of loss dissolves as you realize the I AM cannot be annihilated by any outward circumstance.

Practice This Now

Assume the I AM is unchanged and sovereign; silently declare, 'Only the moment of that impulse dies, not my entire consciousness,' and feel the steady stability of inner awareness returning.
