Read 2 Samuel 2 in context

Scripture Focus

4And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
5And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
6And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
2 Samuel 2:4-6

Biblical Context

The men of Judah anoint David as king over the house of Judah, and they report that Jabeshgilead buried Saul. David blesses them for their kindness and promises the LORD’s kindness and truth in return.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville’s framework, Saul stands for the old ruling idea in your mind—the sense that you are separate from the good you seek. Jabeshgilead burying Saul is the inner act of mercy that lets that old king rest, a quiet decision to release the past pattern without bitterness. David’s anointing as king over the house of Judah is the inner declaration that a new state of awareness has authority: the I AM, the conscious center, now rules with a steady, compassionate hand. The house of Judah represents the heart’s governance—the courage to lead with truth, mercy, and fidelity to the good you intend. When David blesses the Jabeshgilead people, you hear the inner voice acknowledging and rewarding the kindness you once offered to the old self; the LORD’s kindness and truth are the law of your life in operation, returning to you as you honor the transition. The promise to repay that kindness is the assurance that kindness and truth multiply when you persist in ruling from the present state of awareness. Thus the Kingdom of God within arises, not by force, but by the willing alignment of your inner states.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner state: I am the king over my inner Judah. Bless the old self that buried Saul, and feel the calm authority of mercy and truth filling my consciousness.
