Inner King, Divine Discernment

2 Samuel 14:17 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 14 in context

Scripture Focus

17Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.
2 Samuel 14:17

Biblical Context

Verse 14:17 presents the king’s word as comforting and describes the king's discernment as an angel of God. It also affirms that the LORD will be with the king, signaling divine presence in decision.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the king on the throne is your outward mind; the handmaid’s assurance is the inner trust that appears when your awareness listens. The 'angel of God' is not distant myth but the faculty of discernment that sits in the chambers of your imagination, quietly distinguishing what serves your good from what does not. When you dwell in the presence of the I AM and imagine that God is with you, the LORD thy God becomes a lived, breathing companion, not a distant promise. Your decision speaks from a higher order of consciousness—a calm, clear yes or no that comes from alignment rather than fear. The king’s discernment is a gentle guide, not a stern judge; it relieves you of doubt by revealing the form of truth within appearances. The moment you assume that you are this king, and that God is really with you, you awaken to a state of effortless clarity where good prevails. Practice the inner revision: act as though you already possess the angel’s sight, and your next move will unfold in harmony with divine presence.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare: I am the king on the throne of my mind, and the angel of discernment is awake within me. Allow the feeling of divine companionship to settle in as you consider your next decision.
