Inner Officers Of Your I AM

2 Samuel 20:23-24 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 20 in context

Scripture Focus

23Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
24And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
2 Samuel 20:23-24

Biblical Context

The verse names four officers—Joab over the host, Benaiah over the Cherethites and Pelethites, Adoram over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat over the recorder—signaling orderly governance in Israel’s realm.

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre of your mind, the verse names not distant generals but states of consciousness taking order. Joab, over all the host, is the discipline that moves outward action with focus and courage. Benaiah, chief over the Cherethites and Pelethites, stands as the shield of your life—guarding your trusted intentions and ensuring the outer world reflects your inner resolve. Adoram, over the tribute, is the wise steward who receives and allocates your inner resources—the vitality, time, and attention you offer to life. Jehoshaphat, the recorder, keeps the memory of what you have chosen, quietly recording results so your inner court does not forget the decision of the I AM. When you perceive these officers as existing within you, you understand that leadership and order are not external to be sought but inward to be realized. The Kingdom of God, then, is the alignment of these faculties under the I AM—awareness that feels, imagines, and lives as if already true. Authority arises from the light of inner agreement, not from conflict or fear.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the role of the inner governor. Revise any scattered thought to this order— Joab over the host, Benaiah at guard, Adoram over resources, Jehoshaphat recording outcomes—feeling the now-authorized reality of their rule.
