Kindness at the Inner Table
2 Samuel 9:7-8 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Samuel 9 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
David promises kindness for Jonathan's sake, restores Saul's land, and invites him to eat at the king's table. The man humbly asks why such favor should be shown to one he calls a dead dog.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the Neville lens, the king represents the I AM within you—the awareness that can rewrite any page of lack. The passage presents your inner self telling fear to fear not, and offering kindness for the sake of a higher bond (Jonathan) while restoring your inner possessions (the land of Saul). The invitation to dine at the table is a symbol of identity alignment: you belong in the royal circle of your own consciousness. The plea What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am? embodies the old self-image of separation and unworthiness. David's response—fear not, I will surely show thee kindness—teaches that your state of consciousness can be revised in the moment of clear assumption. If you dwell in the memory of being beloved and restored, fear dissolves, nourishment is claimed, and you move from estrangement to unity. Your inner land is restored as you walk in the certainty of your true I AM-being.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Sit in stillness, declare, I am the beloved one restored; I sit at the inner king's table, and I claim nourishment now. Visualize the king offering bread and you receiving it, feeling belonging and certainty flooding your being.
