Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 2:32 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

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 2:32

Biblical Context

Asahel is laid to rest in his father’s sepulchre in Bethlehem; Joab’s company travels through the night and arrives in Hebron by dawn.

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Asahel’s burial not as a tomb but as the release of a worn-out attitude that no longer serves your present I AM. Bethlehem is the heart’s manger of nourishment and stillness where you lay down an old impulse; Hebron is the inner kingdom you rise into when the mind’s night work is complete. Joab’s night march is your disciplined attention moving through fear, memory, and habit, until dawn reveals a state that already exists within you. The suffering and trials are not punishment but the exact weather in your inner weather system that drives you to revise images and feel them real. As you affirm 'I am' as the source of all that occurs, the scene becomes a metaphor for your own inner death and re-birth, a transition from limited self to spacious awareness—the Kingdom of God within.

Practice This Now

Assume you have laid to rest the old impulse (Asahel) in Bethlehem. Then feel and declare, right now, that you awaken into Hebron—the steady sense of I AM—by breathing into the state as if it already is.
