Inner Return of the Banished

2 Samuel 14:13-14 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 14 in context

Scripture Focus

13And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.
14For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
2 Samuel 14:13-14

Biblical Context

The verses frame exile and mortality, yet insist on a divine means to bring the banished back. It points to a hidden inner return available to us now.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a mirror of your inner state. The woman's question and the king’s seeming fault reveal a simple truth: the banished in you is not lost to the reality of your life, but placed under a divine strategy of return. When you think, 'we must die,' you touch the form of limitation your attention has mistaken for truth. In the I AM—the awareness you are—there are no permanent expulsions; there are only movements of consciousness. The 'means' God devises are inner shifts of intention, a revision of what you call fate. You can imagine the banished becoming present again by stating, 'In this now, all that was outwardly banished is gathered into my awareness.' This is reintegration: a creative act of where you dwell in your mind. The king’s action becomes your own decision to fetch back every neglected part of yourself, knowing that no person lies outside the circle of your awareness and that Providence guides the return. So you practice, not begging for mercy but assuming you already stand in the fullness of your rightful state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and assume, 'The banished are not expelled from me; they return now.' Picture a scene where the banished steps into your present awareness and feel the welcome of home.
