Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 21:20-21 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 21 in context

Scripture Focus

20And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.

21And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him.

2 Samuel 21:20-21

Biblical Context

In Gath, a giant with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot fights Israel; Jonathan the son of Shimeah defeats him after he defies Israel.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Gath of your mind, the giant with extra fingers and toes stands for a multiplied fear—countless doubts, claims of limitation that crowd your consciousness. The giant is not an outside enemy but a belief born to the giant that you are defined by lack. Jonathan, the son of Shimeah, represents the steadfast ally within you—the loyalty to the Davidic King, your true self, the I AM. When Jonathan defies the giant, he demonstrates how a single, unwavering act of inner allegiance can disarm even the most imposing image. The moment you refuse to serve the old defiance of Israel, you re-enter covenant with your higher self. Faith and trust do not come from wishing away trouble but from the decision to stand in the truth of your inner state. Wake to the fact that the battle is won in consciousness; the giant falls as you accept your rightful dominion here and now.

Practice This Now

Assume the inner Jonathan now—your steadfast ally to the I AM. Revise the scene and feel it real: the giant falls, the mind rests in its rightful dominion.
