The Bow of the Inner King
2 Samuel 24:20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 24 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Araunah sees the king coming, goes out, and bows on the ground. The verse presents an outward act of reverence that points to an inner acknowledgment of rightful authority within.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the theatre of your consciousness, the outer bow of Araunah is the appearance of humility within you, bowing before the king—your higher self, the I AM. The king and his servants are the disciplined thoughts and faculties that approach with order, and Araunah’s response is your willingness to yield to that inner government. This is true worship: not ritual objects but the inner sequence of acknowledging authority, aligning feeling and belief with the reality you intend. When you accept the inner king’s approach, you stop clinging to the old self-concepts and invite the Presence of God to sit on the throne of your life. The constraint of ego melts as you bow in mental surrender, letting the I AM orchestrate life through faithful perception. Your daily posture becomes a revision: the ego acknowledges the divine ruler within, and the world rearranges itself to reflect that sovereignty.
Practice This Now
In stillness, imagine Araunah stepping out and bowing to the king within you. Revise your sense of self to 'I am the inner king, and I bow to my higher self.'
