Inner Field of Conflict

2 Samuel 2:14-16 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

14And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
2 Samuel 2:14-16

Biblical Context

Abner proposes a contest between twelve Benjamin men and twelve of David's men. They fight, each grabbing the other's head and thrusting, and they both fall; the place is named Helkathhazzurim.

Neville's Inner Vision

The scene is a map of the mind, not a historical duel. The two squads are states of consciousness vying for dominance in your awareness. The word play signals energy in motion, and the clash illustrates how thoughts bind themselves to outcomes when you identify with one side. Helkathhazzurim, the field of the swords, becomes the arena of attention where such inner conflicts are felt most acutely. The shift is not external control but inner recognition: you, as I AM, reign over both sides. When you assume the kingly presence within—seeing these energies as movements of awareness rather than enemies—the two camps begin to disengage. Imagination creates the change; pretend you are the sovereign of this mental field, and let the energies settle into a single, unified motion. Persist in the feeling that you are the ruler, and the imagined battle resolves into a renewed order within your consciousness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling of kingship in your mind. Say, I AM the ruler here; allow the two 'sides' to settle and feel the conflict dissolve into quiet, realigned energy.
