Inner Armor, Loyal Servants
2 Samuel 23:37 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse names Zelek the Ammonite and Nahari the Beerothite as armourbearers to Joab, signaling loyal attendants surrounding leadership.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your scripture speaks not of ancient men alone, but of states of consciousness. Zelek and Nahari are not merely individuals; they are two aspects of your being pledged as armourbearers to the I AM that sits on your inner throne. Joab represents the executive mind in action; the armourbearers symbolize steady loyalty, ready to stand close when fear presses in and the world calls for retreat. In Neville's terms, these awakened attendants arise when you cease identifying with lack and align with the inner king—your true self. The Ammonite and the Beerothite symbolize foreign impressions attempting to disrupt your center, yet through imagination you transmute them into protective force. The inner army is formed by your persistent state of consciousness, by the decision that the kingdom of God is within and now. When you assume the posture of one who commands, you feel their service as a tangible presence, guarding your vision and supporting your ascent into your royal inner land.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and declare that you, the I AM, sit sovereign over an inner landscape. Picture two loyal armourbearers—Zelek and Nahari—standing beside you, ready to defend your king within. Feel their steadiness as you move through a current task, and reaffirm, 'The kingdom is within me; I am supported and unwavering.'
