Inner Night Walk to Mahanaim

2 Samuel 2:29-32 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

29And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
30And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
32And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
2 Samuel 2:29-32

Biblical Context

Abner and his men go through the night toward Mahanaim; Joab gathers his people, and in the fighting many fall and Asahel is buried. Joab and his men then return to Hebron at break of day.

Neville's Inner Vision

To the seeker, this passage is not a map of ancient battles but a map of consciousness. Abner and his men walking through the night represent the mind's march through the plain of possibilities, crossing Jordan into Mahanaim—the territory of your settled awareness where two currents meet and is healed by awareness. The death toll among Benjamin and Abner's men is the price paid by old habits that must fall away when you anchor your I AM in the present moment. Asahel's burial signals the quieting of a restless impulse that would rush ahead without purpose. Joab's all-night return to Hebron at daybreak is your inner self emerging into a dawn state, carrying your finished work to the town of your true identity. What remains is the realization that the inner battle is not out there but within you, and when you acknowledge that your own perception closes the gap between conflict and harmony, you awaken to the kingdom in consciousness.

Practice This Now

Assume you are already in Mahanaim, the night yielding to dawn within your mind. Feel the I AM as peace, and let the two currents unite until inner conflict dissolves.
