Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 15:32-37 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 15 in context

Scripture Focus

32And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:

33Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:

34But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.

35And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

36Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear.

37So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

2 Samuel 15:32-37

Biblical Context

David worships on the mount as Hushai arrives in disguise; David pivots to counter the external plot by returning as a servant to Absalom and directing news through Zadok and Abiathar.

Neville's Inner Vision

On the mount, I worship not as a retreat from life but as a turning of attention inside, where the I AM reveals itself as the sovereign author of action. Hushai arrives with a torn garment, a sign of outer disturbance, yet I greet him with a deliberate choice: a finer form of counsel will guide my steps. This is not politics; it is consciousness choosing a higher counsel. Ahithophel’s scheme stands for the belief that power comes from outward plots. By sending Hushai back to Absalom and directing intelligence through Zadok and Abiathar, I align with the stronger within—the inner ruler who uses appearance to test faith, not to govern outcomes. The two priests and their sons symbolize the inner faculties that carry truth to the heart. When you hear from the king’s house, you hear the conditions of your own heart; you discern not by fear but by faith that the I AM weaves wiser plans through you. The result is trust in a reality that can bend appearances through the certainty of inner knowing.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume you are on the mount of worship, hearing the I AM within. Then revise a current plan by declaring, I am the servant of the true king inside me, and feel that certainty as your new motive.
