David's Inner Reign of Justice
2 Samuel 8:13-15 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 8 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David defeats the Syrians in the valley of salt and sets Edom with garrisons, then reigns over all Israel, executing judgment and justice.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within this passage, the battlefield is your inner arena. The Syrians symbolize restless thoughts and fears; their defeat marks your decision to stand as the I AM rather than be moved by outer conditions. 'Gat him a name' becomes you naming yourself as a fixed, sovereign state of consciousness. The garrisons in Edom are inner boundaries you establish around stubborn habits and subconscious opinions, turning raw energy into disciplined order. 'The LORD preserved David whithersoever he went' speaks of the I AM sustaining you as you move through any mental terrain; your awareness protects you as you assume authority. When David 'reigned over all Israel,' your whole being is under one ruling intelligence—awareness that governs every thought, feeling, and act. And to 'execute judgment and justice unto all his people' is to apply inner truth to every impulse, aligning the entire life with that sovereign, just state.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM is the ruler of your inner land. Visualize returning from a symbolic victory, placing strong inner garrisons, and feeling a calm, protective Presence guiding every move.
