Vanquishing the Inner Egyptian

2 Samuel 23:21 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 23 in context

Scripture Focus

21And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
2 Samuel 23:21

Biblical Context

The verse describes a warrior disarming and defeating an Egyptian by taking the spear and using it against him, a decisive act of courage and deliverance.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this light, the Egyptian is not a man in history but a state of consciousness—fear masquerading as danger. The spear is a belief that threatens your peace; the staff you carry is your imagination, the means by which you re-aim your life. Benaiah’s act is the I AM within you meeting a belief with inner conviction, not through force but through revision. When he steps down and plucks the spear from the Egyptian’s hand, you are taught to do the same with your thoughts: confront the fear, tighten the inner grip, and turn the weapon against fear itself by asserting a new state. The kill is not violence but the cessation of the old story—your assumption becoming fact. This is deliverance through the power of your consciousness, justice realized as you claim your inherent safety, and mercy extended to the impulse of threat by freeing it from governing your heart. Rest in the radiance that you are already free, and allow the outer scene to follow the inner decree.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Close your eyes and embody the I AM as Benaiah. Confront a seeming threat in imagination, calmly take the spear from the Egyptian’s hand, and feel inner liberation seize your mind.
