Inner Provisions for the Hungry

2 Samuel 17:27-29 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 17 in context

Scripture Focus

27And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
28Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse,
29And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
2 Samuel 17:27-29

Biblical Context

David arrives at Mahanaim with his weary band; Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai deliver beds, vessels, and food so the people are nourished in the wilderness.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of David as your awareness, wandering a mental wilderness of lack. When you come to Mahanaim— a sacred meeting place within—the figures who bring beds, vessels, wheat, honey and cheese become living symbols of the faculties that attend your consciousness and furnish its house. Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai are not distant men but currents of your I AM: mercy, provisioning, and neighbor-love delivering what you deem necessary. The hungry, weary, thirsty multitude represents your unmet desires seeking nourishment; their condition proclaims a shift in your inner weather, not a deficit in the world. As you acknowledge that you are the source of all things, abundance pours from your inner pantry into your outer life, and the wilderness becomes a banquet. The act of these gifts moving toward David mirrors your willingness to circulate nourishment within your own mind—your thoughts, feelings, and needs are fed when you accept yourself as the source. When you claim I AM as supply, you unleash a continuous flow that sustains all parts of you, harmonizing your inner states with their outer expressions.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, place a hand on your chest, and softly declare, I AM the supply now; feel abundance flowing through you and envision sharing it with every hunger in your inner wilderness.
