Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 20:4-6 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 20 in context

Scripture Focus

4Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.

5So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.

6And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.

2 Samuel 20:4-6

Biblical Context

David commands Amasa to muster Judah within three days; Amasa delays; David notes Sheba’s threat and orders pursuit.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the King speaks: this is the I AM, shaping your inner state. When David asks Amasa to assemble the Judah of your mind in three days, he asks you to marshal your faculties—faith, clarity, courage—into decisive action. Amasa’s delay reveals the ego’s procrastination, the mind clinging to hesitation rather than the certainty of realized being. Observe how delay allows the stray impulse, Sheba, to threaten your purpose; if left unbound, it may cause more harm than any past misstep. The remedy is simple: summon Abishai—your loyal, disciplined thoughts—and pursue the impulse to its source, bringing it under the kingship of your I AM. The Kingdom of God within is not a distant event but a present alignment; every outward movement proclaims the inward state you inhabit. So you align, you act, and you acknowledge that the inner king has already won and is now expressing through your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly and declare, I now assemble the Judah of my mind; in three breaths I am present, and the inner army stands ready. Visualize the stray impulse being pursued by your disciplined thoughts until it yields to sovereign rule.
