Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 13:7-10 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 13 in context

Scripture Focus

7Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.

8So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.

9And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.

10And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.

2 Samuel 13:7-10

Biblical Context

David sends Tamar to Amnon's house to prepare meat, and Tamar goes into a private chamber with the meal. Amnon then isolates the moment, illustrating a troubling dynamic of manipulation and boundary violation.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner economy of the mind, Tamar stands for a nourishing, trusting state seeking expression; Amnon embodies a consuming impulse that would seize what is offered. The chamber is the private arena of belief where boundaries are tested. When I identify with a state of separation or fear, I invite scenes of coercion into my life, as if the outer events were merely illustrations of inner conviction. Neville teaches that I am the I AM, the sole reality behind every scene; therefore, any sense of vulnerability or powerlessness can be revised by altering the inner state. By recognizing that the story reflects inner consent or resistance to nourishment, I can affirm a sovereign, protective awareness that honors boundaries and the free will of all beings within my consciousness. The healing comes as I revise the thought that harms are real and irreversible, replacing it with the conviction that I govern every chamber of my mind and invite only what is freely given and truly nourishing.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise the scene to a safe, respectful nourishment; feel the I AM sovereign of the chamber, and let the image dissolve into healing.
