Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 19:26-27 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 19 in context

Scripture Focus

26And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.

27And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.

2 Samuel 19:26-27

Biblical Context

One humbly claims he was deceived by his servant and laments his own limitation, asking the king to act according to what is rightly good. The king, seen as an angel of God in this moment, is urged to see beyond appearances and uphold truth and mercy.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the inner scene as your own mind's theater. The speaker and the servant are states of consciousness. The lameness symbolizes limitation, while deceit marks misperception born of fear. The king represents the I AM, your center of awareness, able to observe the scene from above. Describing the king as an angel of God signals your higher self blessing the choice to align with truth. The directive to do what is good in thine eyes becomes a call to revise the inner narrative so it matches the good you already are. In Neville's method, deception is not a battle to be fought but a cue to re-anchor reality in the truth you are the living consciousness commanding events. By choosing to see through the tale and to serve mercy, you reorder life from within, and outward events reflect that elevated state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Assume 'I am the King within' and revise every apparent deceit as a misperception of truth. Feel it real by acting from that inner royal mercy in your next choice.
