Eleazar's Inner Stand of Victory

2 Samuel 23:9-10 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 23 in context

Scripture Focus

9And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:
10He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
2 Samuel 23:9-10

Biblical Context

Eleazar, one of David's three mighty men, stands alone against the Philistines while the other soldiers retreat. He fights until his hand is weary and clings to the sword, and the LORD grants a great victory, with the people returning to spoil.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene Eleazar is not merely a warrior; he is the embodied stubbornness of a fixed idea in the I AM. The Philistines symbolize fear pressing in when attention wavers. When the other men draw back, Eleazar remains present to the inner presence; he rises and strikes, and the weariness of the hand becomes the sign of sustained focus. The sword his hand clave unto is the instrument of unwavering belief—the word of truth he refuses to let go. The LORD wrought a great victory that day; that is the inner decree of consciousness made manifest through him. As you identify with Eleazar, you learn that victory originates in the inner state, not in outward circumstance. The victory does not come by human effort alone but by the alignment of your consciousness with the I AM. The onlooking crowd that returns to spoil represents how the outer world mirrors the inner conviction once it holds. Your life’s battles are won first on the level of awareness; the external triumph follows as surely as dawn after night.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume Eleazar’s stance, gripping the sword of your fixed idea. Say, I am the I AM; victory is mine now, and the inner light will manifest through my actions.
