Read 2 Samuel 8 in context

Scripture Focus

16And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
17And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
18And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
2 Samuel 8:16-18

Biblical Context

The passage inventories David's officials: Joab commands the army, Jehoshaphat records, Zadok and Ahimelech serve as priests, Seraiah the scribe, Benaiah over the Cherethites and Pelethites, and David's sons as chief rulers.

Neville's Inner Vision

In this lineup you are watching the inner government of your consciousness. Joab at the head of the host is the decisive energy you bring into life’s battles; Jehoshaphat the recorder is your memory and what you choose to remember about yourself; Zadok and Ahimelech the priests represent your inner loyalties, the sacred counsel that consecrates every action; Seraiah the scribe writes the script you rehearse in imagination; Benaiah over the Cherethites and Pelethites are the guards of your thoughts and habits that keep your vision intact; and David's sons as chief rulers are the many facets of your I AM-awareness that govern daily life. The Kingdom of God is not a distant realm but a present state you invoke by appropriation of sovereignty. When you assume the feeling of rulership, you align your inner cabinet with your goal, and the outer world mirrors that inner government. Practice the imagination of ruling from the I AM, and let your inner officers affirm your royal posture.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In a quiet moment, declare, I am the sovereign of this inner realm. Visualize appointing your cabinet—action, memory, counsel, writing, and guards—and feel the unwavering authority of the I AM directing them.
