Neville Goddard on 2 Samuel 9:6-9 - Mystical Bible 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!

7And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.

8And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?

9Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.

2 Samuel 9:6-9

Biblical Context

David invites Mephibosheth to return, promising kindness for Jonathan's sake and restoring Saul's land. Mephibosheth humbly bows, recognizing his place at the king's table.

Neville's Inner Vision

David represents the I AM, the conscious life that does not condemn but extends grace for the sake of a prior covenant—the inner memory of loyalty and kinship in your being. The king's words, Fear not, for I will surely show thee kindness, reveal that your most stubborn belief can be revisited and revised by appreciating your rightful identity. The restoration of Saul's land is not a geographical transaction but a relocation of your inner possessions—the beliefs about lack and separation re-entitled to abundance. To eat at the king's table continually signals a continuous awareness of inclusion in divine abundance; it is the inner sense that you are fed by the limitless life of your own awareness rather than by external conditions. The service of Ziba marks the appearance of duties and claims, but the decisive act is David's declaration: you belong here because of the memory of loyalty that runs in you, too.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit in stillness and imagine the king's table within your own mind. Revise the scene by affirming, 'I am loved, worthy, and fed by life itself,' and see yourself eating there, with the sense of being fully included.
