2 Samuel 14:8-11 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 14 in context

Scripture Focus

8And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
9And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
10And the king said, Whosoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
11Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
2 Samuel 14:8-11

Biblical Context

David’s exchange shows the king’s protective authority, resolving a deadly conflict by mercy. The woman confesses, and the king promises that no harm will come to her son, invoking the Lord.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this scene, the king stands as the conscious I AM, the authoritative state that can intercede for life rather than permit the old pattern of blood feud to run its course. The woman is the confession of the lower sense, admitting guilt and inviting the inner authority to examine the circumstance without earning further blame. The king’s response—bring him to me, and he shall touch thee no more—reveals that the inner I AM can override necessity by declaring a new order. When she asks the LORD thy God to remember and to prevent destruction, she is calling the inner law to remember your divine nature, not as punishment but as protection. The last vow, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall, is the assurance that the law of life cannot be reversed within your consciousness when you stand in the truth. This is the principle: through deliberate intercession, you revoke the old pattern and set a new state of affairs where life, mercy, and justice converge under the sole authority of the I AM within.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, assume the inner king—the I AM—and declare not a hair of my life shall fall. Feel protection radiating outward and revise fear into trust that the inner law preserves all outcomes.
