Inner Reconciliation with the King
2 Samuel 14:28-33 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem without seeing the king. He incites Joab to burn his field to force a meeting, Joab comes, and the king finally kisses Absalom, signaling reconciliation.
Neville's Inner Vision
Absalom's two years of silence represents a long inner awaiting, a part of you unseen by the king within. The field burning is imagination in action, a deliberate flare that forces acknowledgment from a stubborn judgment—the belief that you must suffer separation to be whole. When Joab refuses the call, you are invited to notice the habit of rejections in your own mind; yet Absalom's act of setting the barley field on fire is not destruction, but the vitality of a revised signal to the I AM: I am here, I am seen. Then Joab comes and hears the demand: let me see the king's face. The king kissing Absalom is the instant of inner alignment—the moment your I AM welcomes every fragment back into unity. In this scene, the external reunion mirrors an inner conviction: reconciliation is an act of consciousness already accomplished when you awaken to the feeling that the king’s face is yours to behold.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Before sleep, imagine Absalom approaching the king and the king greeting him with a warm kiss. Feel the I AM within you embracing all parts and declare, 'Reconciled, I AM.'
