Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 19:3-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 19 in context

Scripture Focus

3And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.

4But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

2 Samuel 19:3-4

Biblical Context

David's hosts enter the city in secrecy after a battle, and the king covers his face and laments for Absalom.

Neville's Inner Vision

View this passage as a blueprint for your inner life. The stealth of the people mirrors the mind’s quiet retreat when a battle within has not yet found harmony. The city’s reception of them reflects how the soul shrinks before surface appearances rather than embracing the truth of consciousness. The king, your I AM, hides his face—refusing to gaze at outward drama—and cries the name Absalom, the beloved inner growth you once hoped to preserve. Absalom stands for a gifted part of you, a resolution or quality that your heart desires. The scene signals not a death but a need to reidentify with the I AM and to revise the inner picture until wholeness is affirmed. When you cease to fear loss and recognize the inner son as alive and cherished, the public shame dissolves. Remember: imagination creates reality, and the latent unity of life lives now in your consciousness, awaiting your deliberate assumption with feeling.
