Inner Kingdom at Mahanaim

2 Samuel 17:24-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 17 in context

Scripture Focus

24Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
25And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.
26So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
2 Samuel 17:24-26

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.
