The Inner King Responds

2 Samuel 9:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Samuel 9 in context

Scripture Focus

6Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
2 Samuel 9:6

Biblical Context

Mephibosheth enters before David, falls in reverence, and the king responds by acknowledging him and inviting him into intimate fellowship.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the names are states of consciousness. Mephibosheth, the wounded memory of a past king, enters the room of your inner David and falls on his face. The act is not about external honor but the mind’s surrender to the I AM, the awareness that can act as king for your life. David, the manifested king within you, calls by name—the moment your awareness acknowledges a 'state' that deserves mercy rather than judgment. When Mephibosheth answers, 'Behold thy servant!' the ego yields to service—service to the divine plan of abundance and belonging. The table David offers represents the nourishment of imagination: you are not banished but invited to eat at the royal table of your own realization, to know you belong to the presence of God. This scene teaches that reverence and humility are not weakness but the doorway through which God’s bounty flows. When you assume this posture in your mind, you align your consciousness with the king’s intention, and the mercy you seek becomes your present experience, here and now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine Mephibosheth before the inner King. Repeat 'Behold thy servant' and feel the king's mercy flooding your sense as real in this moment.
