Inner Pursuit of the I AM

2 Samuel 17:1 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 17 in context

Scripture Focus

1Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
2 Samuel 17:1

Biblical Context

Ahithophel counsels Absalom to muster twelve thousand men and pursue David that night.

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the inner drama behind the verse: Ahithophel represents a thought urging external conquest, while David is the hidden king within you, the I AM. The plan to pursue this night is a states of consciousness demanding immediate force rather than inner alignment. When you identify with this impulse, you feed a sense of separation and power that must be exercised in the outer world. Neville teaches that reality is born from your inner state; therefore, the urge to chase should be revised into the recognition that you are already the ruler. Align with the I AM and allow wisdom, not force, to govern. The twelve thousand can symbolize the twelve faculties of consciousness that you now bring into harmony under the single kingly authority of awareness. By choosing to govern from the inner sovereignty, the outer scene will reflect a reordering that is gentle yet decisive, born from the certainty that the kingdom resides within and is established by your assumed consciousness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: sit still and affirm I am the I AM, reigning now until that regal sense fills you; revise the impulse to chase David into inner alignment where the kingdom is already established.
