Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 2:30-31 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

2 Samuel 2:30-31

Biblical Context

Joab returns with the army and the tally of losses. Nineteen of David's servants, including Asahel, are missing, while David's men have slain many on the other side.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the theater of your mind, Joab’s return marks the moment your attention settles after a chase and rests in the truth of your I AM. Abner’s pursuit is your restless mind chasing power outside itself; Asahel and the nineteen missing are the lively energies you once counted as essential but now release as your inner authority expands. The three hundred and sixty slain on the other side symbolize beliefs, fears, and judgments that are dissolved by one decisive act: the assumption that you are the king in your own kingdom. This inner war is not about domination over others but about aligning every part of you with a single, righteous center. When you insist, by imagination, that you are the I AM king, you alter the inner climate; the external losses fade and your life takes on unity, justice, and calm. You do not fight for power; you awaken to power’s presence within you, and former conflicts dissolve into harmony.

Practice This Now

Assume the feeling, I am the King now, and dwell there for a moment; in your quiet, observe the sense of authority expanding through every chamber of your mind. Let the imagined numbers of loss melt into light as you continue to feel the reality of your kingdom.
