Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 2:13 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

13And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.

2 Samuel 2:13

Biblical Context

Joab and David's servants meet by the pool of Gibeon, each on opposite sides. This portrays two camps within leadership standing in proximity, signaling a moment of opportunity for unity.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the pool as a boundary within your own consciousness, a still place where two tendencies observe each other. Joab’s side and the king’s servants’ side are not enemies but distinct energies; they sit on opposite banks of the same water. When you feel them as separate, you feel a split in your inner kingdom; when you acknowledge the I AM as sole ruler, you realize both energies answer to one life. The pool is the quiet space of awareness where you observe without condemnation. The message is that the Kingdom of God is not an external empire but the harmony of your inner authority. By assuming the feeling of unity now—seeing that the two sides already belong to one king—you invite them to sit together, eye to eye, sharing one breath. Your imagination, rightly directed, becomes the bridge over the pool, turning division into cooperative order within the court of your life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and silently affirm: I am the I AM that unites these camps. See them come together by the pool, and feel the inner harmony as though it is real now.
