Inner Kingdom at Mahanaim
2 Samuel 17:24-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 17 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David arrives at Mahanaim; Absalom crosses the Jordan with Israel; Absalom appoints Amasa as commander in place of Joab; Israel and Absalom encamp in the land of Gilead.
Neville's Inner Vision
Place is an inner map. Mahanaim represents the double-minded space of your consciousness where old loyalties and new impulses meet. David embodies the I AM, the unwavering sense of identity that returns when you revise your story. Absalom’s crossing of the Jordan signifies a turning of energy within your psyche, a move toward a fresh authority. The elevation of Amasa over Joab is a symbol of awakening toward a new governing faculty, guided by inner wisdom rather than mere habit. Ithra and Abigail’s kinship remind us that every new decision bears the thread of memory, and skillful discernment is needed to steer the inner host. The land of Gilead stands as a renewed, fruitful vibration ready to be used for your purpose. The drama on the page is not apart from you; it is your inner world at work. When you recognize that the I AM is the true king, your outward circumstances align with that consciousness. Reconcile the old guard and the new impulse by resting in your assured authority within.
Practice This Now
Imaginative practice: Sit quietly, breathe, and revise: 'I am the I AM; my inner kingdom is secure and I appoint the captain of my life.' Feel this authority expanding in your chest for a minute.
