Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 16:7-8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 16 in context

Scripture Focus

7And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:

8The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.

2 Samuel 16:7-8

Biblical Context

Shimei curses David, calling him a bloody man and saying divine punishment has fallen on him; the text presents a shifting inner authority as the kingdom appears to move to Absalom.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s light, Shimei’s words are not about David’s flesh but about a state of consciousness you once entertained—guilt, accusation, and the old kingly habit of blame. The phrase that the LORD has returned the blood of Saul on David points to inner cause and effect: dwelling in separation produces a sense of consequence. The crown moving to Absalom signals a shift in inner allegiance, a change in the mental atmosphere where power is perceived. Yet you are not bound to this drama; you are the I AM, the awareness behind every scene. Reinterpret the episode as a correction in your own mind: kingship and justice are not exteriors but states of consciousness you awaken to. The blood and mischief are mental forms to be revised, not eternal facts. By holding to the truth of your inner sovereignty, you reclaim the throne from fear and place it firmly on the eternal I AM. In this inward sovereignty, the noise of accusation dissolves and a single, righteous king reforms the inner order.

Practice This Now

Practice: In a quiet moment, imagine the curse as inner chatter. Then revise by speaking, and feel it real: I am the I AM, I reign in righteousness, and the old curse is dissolved in my inner light.
