Inner Kingly Assurance
2 Samuel 13:32-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 13 in context
Scripture Focus
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.
