Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 4:11 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 4 in context

Scripture Focus

11How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?

2 Samuel 4:11

Biblical Context

The verse condemns murder and asserts that the wicked will face judgment; the righteous will be called to account. It presents divine judgment and the accountability that follows, grounded in righteousness and covenant loyalty.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner life, the slain righteous one is not a past deed but a state of consciousness you allow to die. In the inner house, the choice of separation manifests as a scene you replay until you wake to unity with the I AM. The verse asks, what price will be exacted by your own law, and the answer comes as a reminder that the outer world merely mirrors your inner indictment or release. When you remember that God is the I AM—the living awareness within you—what you judge as 'another' is only a projection of your own belief. The true culprit is the belief that you are apart from the one life and thus subject to punishment; when you revise that belief, the sense of guilt dissolves and the sense of justice is restored to your inner court. Hold that you are the witness and the judge who communes with mercy; by restoring wholeness in your mind, the outward scene aligns with that truth.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and assume the state of I AM ruling the inner house; revise the scene to show the righteous within you alive and whole, and feel that realization now. Let the imagined scene replace old guilt and judgment, and observe your outer life realign.
