Inner Mighty States Of Self
2 Samuel 23:38-39 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 23 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The verse lists three named figures— Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, and Uriah the Hittite—as part of David's mighty men, totaling thirty-seven. It highlights diverse identities within the kingdom.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within Neville's lens, those three names are not mere history but inner faculties arrayed in your consciousness. Ira and Gareb, both Ithrites, stand for steady loyalty and practical endurance—forces that keep your inner household intact when the world presses. Uriah the Hittite, a man of bold courage under fire, represents fearless action arising from the I AM when faced with external threat. The phrase 'thirty and seven in all' points to the total unity of these faculties working in concert under the king—the I AM within you. The kingdom here is not a city but the personal realm where diverse drives are coordinated by awareness. When you attend to these parts under the one sovereign I AM, they cease to pull you in opposite directions and become a harmonious council. In this light, diversity is strength: many facets serving one purpose, one king, one consciousness. Your inner landscape then becomes a living, victorious kingdom, where every named part acknowledges the same lordship.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and imagine the Ithrites Ira and Gareb and the Hittite Uriah standing before the throne of I AM, then watch them bow to unity and merge into one sovereign will. Repeat silently: I am the king within me.
