1
00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:09,608
This is David...
2
00:00:09,776 --> 00:00:11,676
...immortalized by Michelangelo...
3
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:15,577
...in one ofthe world's
most famous statues.
4
00:00:15,782 --> 00:00:18,877
And this is David come to life.
5
00:00:19,185 --> 00:00:22,450
Surely
6
00:00:22,622 --> 00:00:28,618
Goodness and mercy will walk with me
7
00:00:28,795 --> 00:00:33,289
All my days on earth
8
00:00:35,835 --> 00:00:38,065
The Story of David.
9
00:00:38,238 --> 00:00:41,003
Filmed in Israel,
where 3000 years ago...
10
00:00:41,174 --> 00:00:43,666
...Saul was the first king...
11
00:00:43,843 --> 00:00:47,245
...and David was a shepherd.
12
00:03:46,926 --> 00:03:48,951
Samuel.
13
00:03:50,296 --> 00:03:51,957
Samuel.
14
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:58,163
Prophet.
15
00:04:19,125 --> 00:04:20,854
Samuel.
16
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:35,901
Samuel.
17
00:04:38,411 --> 00:04:40,140
Seer.
18
00:04:41,914 --> 00:04:44,508
Prophet in Israel.
19
00:04:46,486 --> 00:04:49,285
I am Saul the King.
20
00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:51,953
Here I am.
21
00:05:48,915 --> 00:05:51,043
Whose son are you?
22
00:05:51,651 --> 00:05:53,551
Who are you?
23
00:05:54,987 --> 00:05:57,786
You know me, prophet.
24
00:05:58,057 --> 00:06:00,924
You chose me out of Benjamin.
25
00:06:01,094 --> 00:06:05,895
I was not a poor man. I inherited
my father's fields and farmed them.
26
00:06:06,065 --> 00:06:09,262
I served my time
in the militia of my tribe.
27
00:06:09,435 --> 00:06:12,302
I could have Iived and died
Iike my father...
28
00:06:12,472 --> 00:06:13,997
...in peace.
29
00:06:14,173 --> 00:06:16,073
But you chose me.
30
00:06:16,242 --> 00:06:17,903
Yahweh chose you.
31
00:06:18,077 --> 00:06:20,444
With your mouth.
32
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:23,012
Well...
33
00:06:23,816 --> 00:06:28,754
...you told me
to fight the enemies of Israel.
34
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:33,322
And for 20 years, I've fought them.
35
00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:34,892
Now...
36
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:37,587
...Iet's talk of things as they are.
37
00:06:38,498 --> 00:06:40,296
I've done as you told me.
38
00:06:40,767 --> 00:06:43,168
Why do you now speak against me?
39
00:06:43,336 --> 00:06:47,705
Why do you turn away from me
before my own men?
40
00:06:50,176 --> 00:06:52,907
Come. Between us now.
41
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,547
No one hears our words.
42
00:06:54,714 --> 00:06:57,547
-The Lord hears.
-AII right, then.
43
00:06:57,717 --> 00:07:01,585
Between Samuel the prophet,
Saul the King and the Lord.
44
00:07:01,754 --> 00:07:03,916
What is the truth?
45
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:09,551
We have pushed the sea people
back to the coast. Right.
46
00:07:10,963 --> 00:07:13,933
But the Philistines have rich cities.
47
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:15,727
They trade with Egypt.
48
00:07:15,902 --> 00:07:20,339
And they hold the secret
of working iron.
49
00:07:20,506 --> 00:07:23,407
Iron swords, iron spears, iron axes.
50
00:07:23,576 --> 00:07:24,600
Prophet...
51
00:07:24,777 --> 00:07:27,405
...I've sent men running
down the rocks...
52
00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:29,412
...shouting for Yahweh...
53
00:07:29,582 --> 00:07:33,416
...carrying swords made of
copper and tin against iron.
54
00:07:33,586 --> 00:07:36,817
Yahweh has brought victories.
55
00:07:37,890 --> 00:07:40,188
It was the Lord our God
who was king then.
56
00:07:40,359 --> 00:07:42,589
But the people rejected him crying
57
00:07:42,762 --> 00:07:44,856
"Give us a king."
58
00:07:45,031 --> 00:07:48,160
I know you did not want a king,
Samuel.
59
00:07:49,402 --> 00:07:53,236
Before you poured your oil on
my head, you were judge over Israel.
60
00:07:53,406 --> 00:07:55,135
You were the only voice in Israel.
61
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:59,870
-It was the voice of the Lord.
-Through the mouth of Samuel.
62
00:08:05,785 --> 00:08:09,779
Prophet, have I done anything
to make you Iess?
63
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:14,023
You broke Yahweh's Iaw when you
made the sacrifice at Gilgal...
64
00:08:14,193 --> 00:08:16,855
...but I am the Lord's prophet.
65
00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:20,897
I waited seven days for you.
66
00:08:21,067 --> 00:08:24,401
My army was melting away
Iike fat on the fire.
67
00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:26,368
The enemy was moving
into position.
68
00:08:26,539 --> 00:08:30,032
I had to fight
while I had the advantage.
69
00:08:30,443 --> 00:08:32,104
They were 10 to one against us.
70
00:08:32,278 --> 00:08:35,009
You have not kept
the commandment of the Lord.
71
00:08:35,181 --> 00:08:38,207
-Your kingdom shall not continue.
-Oh, Samuel.
72
00:08:40,019 --> 00:08:42,249
The dazzling in my eyes is coming.
73
00:08:42,421 --> 00:08:45,550
It's followed by the blood
coming to my head, splitting it.
74
00:08:45,725 --> 00:08:48,092
Let me speak to you
before I am sick.
75
00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:50,128
Our enemies are strong.
76
00:08:50,663 --> 00:08:55,157
Let there be peace between us
or Israel will be destroyed.
77
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:08,674
Yahweh has torn...
78
00:09:08,848 --> 00:09:12,580
...the kingdom of Israel from you
this day.
79
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:17,756
It is given to another.
80
00:09:19,125 --> 00:09:21,355
Yahweh has repented...
81
00:09:21,527 --> 00:09:26,829
...that he made you king over Israel.
82
00:09:33,539 --> 00:09:37,203
Prophet, I have fought for Yahweh.
83
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:40,443
He knows me.
84
00:09:40,613 --> 00:09:44,982
I am still Saul. Saul the King.
85
00:10:12,345 --> 00:10:14,541
Is that all you brought, David?
86
00:10:15,481 --> 00:10:16,744
Ten roasts?
87
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:20,352
What does our father think
we can Iive on? Stones?
88
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,786
What's in that sack?
89
00:10:22,955 --> 00:10:24,389
Oh, that, that's cheeses.
90
00:10:24,757 --> 00:10:25,849
Cheeses?
91
00:10:26,025 --> 00:10:29,962
-For the captain of your thousand.
-Let his family bring him cheeses.
92
00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:33,724
When you get back, tell the old one
to send meat.
93
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,065
I came by the valley trail, saw
the Philistine camp across on the hill.
94
00:10:38,237 --> 00:10:40,365
Good thing they didn't see you,
Iittle brother.
95
00:10:40,539 --> 00:10:43,941
Well, if I were a fighting man,
I wouldn't hide in the rocks.
96
00:10:44,543 --> 00:10:46,739
I'd go down on the plain
and fight them.
97
00:10:46,912 --> 00:10:48,346
-Shammah.
-Yeah?
98
00:10:48,514 --> 00:10:50,915
Send for the war chief.
99
00:10:51,083 --> 00:10:53,745
The king of Iittle goats
has a new battle plan.
100
00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:04,457
What's the use of gathering all
the fighting men of all the tribes...
101
00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:06,962
...just to hide them in the hills?
102
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:11,400
-Why not fight?
-Down there on the plain?
103
00:11:11,570 --> 00:11:15,006
Have you ever seen
a charge of Philistine chariots?
104
00:11:15,174 --> 00:11:19,077
Great knives in the wheels cutting
you down Iike a wheat field.
105
00:11:19,512 --> 00:11:23,779
Iron swords, sharp.
And archers with horned bows.
106
00:11:23,949 --> 00:11:28,318
Copper, all it's good for
is cutting a cheese.
107
00:11:28,487 --> 00:11:30,387
Maybe that's all Saul is good for.
108
00:11:30,656 --> 00:11:33,489
-Abinadab.
-He's Iost his edge for fighting.
109
00:11:33,859 --> 00:11:36,658
Keep your tongue off Saul, brother,
or you'II choke on it.
110
00:11:36,829 --> 00:11:39,821
Oh, our oldest brother is Iike Saul.
111
00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:43,799
Whenever he sees a Philistine sword,
he waters his Ioincloth.
112
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:47,064
Hey, stop it, stop it.
113
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,304
Stop it.
114
00:11:51,577 --> 00:11:52,738
David, come here.
115
00:11:52,912 --> 00:11:55,347
Hey, David.
David, come back and help me.
116
00:11:55,514 --> 00:11:57,983
The lions ofJudah
117
00:11:58,150 --> 00:12:02,109
Are my brothers
118
00:12:03,089 --> 00:12:09,893
Oh, hear them roar
On the mountains
119
00:12:10,062 --> 00:12:15,501
Tremble, oh, Israel
120
00:12:15,668 --> 00:12:21,664
When my brothers roar
121
00:12:22,908 --> 00:12:25,809
Why do they roar?
122
00:12:25,978 --> 00:12:30,677
Oh, men ofJudah
123
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:32,611
Why?
124
00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:37,717
Because you have eaten
cooked beans...
125
00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:40,188
...and your bellies are full of wind.
126
00:12:46,298 --> 00:12:47,857
Where is your father?
127
00:12:48,033 --> 00:12:49,728
In his chamber, commander.
128
00:12:49,902 --> 00:12:51,461
Where are you going?
129
00:12:51,637 --> 00:12:53,162
Hunting.
130
00:12:53,706 --> 00:12:55,071
Take six men, Jonathan.
131
00:12:57,409 --> 00:12:58,808
To hunt a partridge?
132
00:12:58,978 --> 00:13:01,242
There is a raiding party
to the south.
133
00:13:01,413 --> 00:13:05,372
They burned two villages Iast week.
I haven't the men to send after you.
134
00:13:15,728 --> 00:13:17,355
Saul?
135
00:13:25,604 --> 00:13:27,129
Saul.
136
00:13:50,596 --> 00:13:52,257
Saul.
137
00:13:53,232 --> 00:13:54,700
Do you know me, Saul?
138
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,228
I know you.
139
00:13:57,403 --> 00:13:59,303
Abner...
140
00:13:59,471 --> 00:14:02,463
...son of Ner, my father's brother.
141
00:14:03,008 --> 00:14:04,635
Saul...
142
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:06,703
...what is it?
143
00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:08,745
Has the blood come to your head?
144
00:14:10,516 --> 00:14:12,416
I heard them...
145
00:14:12,751 --> 00:14:14,515
...in the night.
146
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:18,518
And the spirit of Yahweh
is gone from Saul.
147
00:14:19,024 --> 00:14:21,254
The old man took it away from me.
148
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,460
Samuel?
149
00:14:25,197 --> 00:14:29,134
Listen, cousin, he never forgets
the people came and said to him
150
00:14:29,301 --> 00:14:31,929
"Give us a king
who knows how to fight."
151
00:14:32,104 --> 00:14:33,765
In all the years Samuel was judge...
152
00:14:33,939 --> 00:14:36,909
...did he ever win
against the Philistines?
153
00:14:37,076 --> 00:14:39,044
Quiet.
154
00:14:40,946 --> 00:14:43,677
He will hear you.
He is Yahweh's prophet.
155
00:14:43,983 --> 00:14:46,077
Let him hear me.
156
00:14:46,252 --> 00:14:48,516
What does he do?
157
00:14:48,687 --> 00:14:50,712
He cuts the throats of Iittle Iambs...
158
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:54,121
...and paints their blood
on the altar horns.
159
00:14:54,293 --> 00:14:58,696
You and I have butchered
Philistines, Ammonites.
160
00:14:58,864 --> 00:15:02,459
And spilled their blood
into Yahweh's Iand.
161
00:15:02,635 --> 00:15:04,603
Yahweh is a God of battle, Saul.
162
00:15:04,770 --> 00:15:06,329
You and I serve him.
163
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:09,432
I feel...
164
00:15:09,608 --> 00:15:12,475
...the evil spirit from him.
165
00:15:12,945 --> 00:15:16,245
It creeps into my heart in the night.
166
00:15:16,782 --> 00:15:18,876
I sweat.
167
00:15:19,151 --> 00:15:20,312
I dream.
168
00:15:20,486 --> 00:15:23,183
Then I wake
and cannot sleep again.
169
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:24,720
And--
170
00:15:25,457 --> 00:15:27,425
I don't know why I--
171
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:29,493
I'm afraid...
172
00:15:29,662 --> 00:15:31,596
...of nothing.
173
00:15:32,131 --> 00:15:34,065
But the fear...
174
00:15:35,134 --> 00:15:38,934
...sits on my chest Iike a stone.
175
00:15:39,104 --> 00:15:43,007
Wine, a whole jug, without water.
176
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:45,103
We'II get drunk, cousin.
177
00:15:45,277 --> 00:15:47,109
And then...
178
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:48,880
...you will sleep.
179
00:15:49,348 --> 00:15:51,146
Abner...
180
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:53,616
...I am in a pit...
181
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:55,914
...in a deep well.
182
00:15:56,088 --> 00:15:59,285
And when I try to climb out...
183
00:15:59,458 --> 00:16:02,894
...the stones roll under my feet...
184
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:05,360
...and I fall back.
185
00:16:05,531 --> 00:16:07,226
Abner.
186
00:16:07,733 --> 00:16:09,223
Abner!
187
00:16:10,703 --> 00:16:12,671
Help me.
188
00:16:39,231 --> 00:16:40,699
Come.
189
00:16:47,139 --> 00:16:48,538
My Iord?
190
00:16:49,475 --> 00:16:51,807
-What?
-A goat and a jug of wine.
191
00:16:51,977 --> 00:16:54,036
My father sent them with me
as an offering.
192
00:16:54,213 --> 00:16:57,706
Saul has a goat and a jug of wine.
Come.
193
00:17:00,085 --> 00:17:01,416
To do what?
194
00:17:01,987 --> 00:17:03,216
What am I to do?
195
00:17:03,389 --> 00:17:04,982
-No one told you?
-I was to play...
196
00:17:05,157 --> 00:17:08,058
-...at the House of Saul.
-Then you know.
197
00:17:15,234 --> 00:17:16,668
-How is he?
-Well.
198
00:17:16,835 --> 00:17:19,031
Is this the player?
199
00:17:19,204 --> 00:17:20,535
What's your name?
200
00:17:20,706 --> 00:17:22,401
David, son of Jesse.
201
00:17:24,843 --> 00:17:26,937
PIay well for my father.
202
00:18:25,304 --> 00:18:30,674
He that dwells
203
00:18:30,843 --> 00:18:37,249
In the secretplace
204
00:18:37,416 --> 00:18:41,478
Ofthe most high
205
00:18:41,653 --> 00:18:44,679
Shall abide
206
00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:48,987
Under the shadow
207
00:18:49,161 --> 00:18:56,158
Ofthe Almighty
208
00:18:57,269 --> 00:19:03,766
I will say ofthe Lord
209
00:19:03,942 --> 00:19:07,708
He is my refuge
210
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,976
He is my fortress
211
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:15,917
My God
212
00:19:16,088 --> 00:19:20,821
In him
213
00:19:20,993 --> 00:19:25,692
Will I trust
214
00:19:26,064 --> 00:19:29,329
You will not fear
215
00:19:29,501 --> 00:19:32,630
The terrorby night
216
00:19:32,804 --> 00:19:36,468
Nor the arrows that fly by day
217
00:19:36,642 --> 00:19:40,135
Nor the plague ofdarkness
218
00:19:41,246 --> 00:19:45,581
A thousand shall fall atyourside
219
00:19:45,751 --> 00:19:52,350
And ten thousand atyourright hand
220
00:19:52,524 --> 00:19:59,521
But the fearshall not
221
00:19:59,898 --> 00:20:06,895
Come nearyou
222
00:20:13,478 --> 00:20:20,316
There shall no evil befallyou
223
00:20:20,485 --> 00:20:26,254
No evil befallyou
224
00:20:26,592 --> 00:20:32,998
No evil befallyou
225
00:20:34,466 --> 00:20:41,463
Oryourdwelling
226
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:02,125
Whose son are you?
227
00:21:09,735 --> 00:21:11,999
Whose son are you?
228
00:21:12,571 --> 00:21:14,665
David, I'm a shepherd.
229
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,366
I'm the son of Jesse of Judah, Iord.
230
00:21:17,876 --> 00:21:19,173
PIay.
231
00:21:37,062 --> 00:21:39,394
Is that a song of Judah?
232
00:21:40,065 --> 00:21:43,763
Oh, I don't know. I just play it.
It's not a song at all.
233
00:21:45,237 --> 00:21:47,467
I'm a child of Benjamin.
234
00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:51,200
Do you know the harvest song
of the Benjaminites?
235
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:13,723
The girls sing that when they toss
the grain up in the air in their baskets.
236
00:22:20,405 --> 00:22:23,568
I was a farmer before I was king...
237
00:22:24,409 --> 00:22:28,107
...before he came and poured oil
on my head.
238
00:22:29,614 --> 00:22:31,048
What's your name, boy?
239
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:33,677
I'm David, Iord.
240
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:35,547
David.
241
00:22:37,689 --> 00:22:40,158
Never Iet an old man pour oil
on your head.
242
00:22:43,995 --> 00:22:46,657
Oh, I'm telling you, it's bad Iuck...
243
00:22:46,965 --> 00:22:49,627
...for farmers and shepherds.
244
00:23:01,146 --> 00:23:04,741
How are the crops this year
in Bethlehem, David?
245
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,551
There was rain after sowing time,
that's good.
246
00:23:11,723 --> 00:23:14,351
The sprouts will be strong.
247
00:23:14,693 --> 00:23:17,663
And they can take a dry time Iater.
248
00:24:23,695 --> 00:24:24,856
Brother.
249
00:24:25,030 --> 00:24:28,762
I didn't believe it when they said you
were made armor bearer to the king.
250
00:24:28,934 --> 00:24:33,735
Oh, Iook at the embroidery
Iike a temple whore in Gaza.
251
00:24:34,806 --> 00:24:36,570
What do you do
in the House of Saul?
252
00:24:36,741 --> 00:24:39,506
Well, I count the weapons
in Saul's storehouse.
253
00:24:39,678 --> 00:24:43,808
And I tie the straps
on his breastplate...
254
00:24:43,982 --> 00:24:45,973
...sharpen his spear points
with a stone.
255
00:24:46,151 --> 00:24:47,619
What else?
256
00:24:50,589 --> 00:24:52,079
Well...
257
00:24:52,924 --> 00:24:57,589
...when the evil spirit comes on him,
he sits alone in the dark and sweats.
258
00:24:58,330 --> 00:25:01,857
And his breath grows short.
259
00:25:02,033 --> 00:25:04,263
His head splits.
260
00:25:05,370 --> 00:25:06,895
And then...
261
00:25:07,405 --> 00:25:09,066
...they call for me.
262
00:25:09,875 --> 00:25:11,104
What can you do?
263
00:25:11,276 --> 00:25:12,835
I play.
264
00:25:13,311 --> 00:25:16,246
You just play?
265
00:25:17,249 --> 00:25:19,775
And then the evil spirit goes away.
266
00:25:19,951 --> 00:25:21,214
Here he comes!
267
00:25:30,762 --> 00:25:32,196
What is it?
268
00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:34,128
Philistines?
269
00:25:36,101 --> 00:25:38,069
I see no army,
where are the Philistines?
270
00:25:38,236 --> 00:25:40,933
Across the valley over the ridge.
271
00:25:51,416 --> 00:25:52,941
What is it?
272
00:26:03,194 --> 00:26:04,252
Who is that?
273
00:26:04,796 --> 00:26:07,026
Goliath of Gath.
274
00:26:08,166 --> 00:26:10,692
He shouts his name every day.
275
00:26:16,308 --> 00:26:18,709
I can't understand.
What does he say?
276
00:26:18,877 --> 00:26:20,538
Zachariah.
277
00:26:22,881 --> 00:26:25,942
It's the dialect of the sea people.
278
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:38,557
Dogs that follow Saul,
eating his Ieavings...
279
00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:42,159
...send me one man to fight.
280
00:26:43,268 --> 00:26:46,898
If he kills me,
then we will be your slaves.
281
00:26:47,472 --> 00:26:52,638
But if I kill him,
then you will be our slaves.
282
00:26:59,451 --> 00:27:01,385
Where are you dogs of Israel?
283
00:27:09,394 --> 00:27:12,386
Hiding under the rocks
Iike dung beetles.
284
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:48,823
No.
285
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,729
-King--
-No.
286
00:27:50,902 --> 00:27:53,269
-At Ieast give me your body armor.
-No.
287
00:27:53,438 --> 00:27:55,532
Let me go out against the man.
288
00:27:56,408 --> 00:28:00,106
Does the hero of Gibeah
now want added glory?
289
00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:06,744
How many days can an army
Iisten to him bellow?
290
00:28:07,318 --> 00:28:10,515
Father, he taunts the men of Israel
and says
291
00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:14,148
"Who is this Saul that calls himself
king that no man will defend?
292
00:28:14,459 --> 00:28:17,656
He is no king.
He is the eater of the dung of swine."
293
00:28:20,198 --> 00:28:22,223
Those are the words
of Goliath of Gath.
294
00:28:23,168 --> 00:28:25,500
Can I Iet him call my father that?
295
00:28:25,670 --> 00:28:27,502
Lord.
296
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:29,871
Saul.
297
00:28:30,408 --> 00:28:32,001
Cousin.
298
00:28:41,853 --> 00:28:46,620
This man stands a sword's Iength
taller than you.
299
00:28:47,492 --> 00:28:52,157
He can throw that iron spear 30 paces
further than you can cast yours.
300
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:57,161
He carries armor heavier
than you can Iift.
301
00:28:57,335 --> 00:29:00,032
He will kill you, my son.
302
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:04,505
And drag your corpse behind his
chariot in front of the whole army.
303
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:07,944
Jonathan.
304
00:29:10,315 --> 00:29:13,250
There are two things
that take the fight out of a man...
305
00:29:13,418 --> 00:29:16,854
...fear in the belly
and a sickness in the bowel.
306
00:29:17,288 --> 00:29:19,484
And our men do fear Goliath.
307
00:29:19,657 --> 00:29:24,458
If I send any man out against him, you,
myself, Jonathan, and he's killed...
308
00:29:24,629 --> 00:29:27,530
...then everyone says
the mightiest of Israel is slain.
309
00:29:27,832 --> 00:29:29,459
Lord?
310
00:29:30,401 --> 00:29:32,335
Lord, Iet me fight the Philistine.
311
00:29:32,837 --> 00:29:34,498
You?
312
00:29:37,142 --> 00:29:39,304
You fight the--?
313
00:29:42,180 --> 00:29:46,378
Haven't you heard? He's a giant.
He's a warrior.
314
00:29:46,651 --> 00:29:50,610
You and your beard's still a shadow.
315
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:52,154
What would you do, David?
316
00:29:52,323 --> 00:29:54,485
Wrap your Iyre strings about him?
317
00:29:54,659 --> 00:29:58,892
I killed a Iion and a bear when they
came after my father's sheep.
318
00:29:59,063 --> 00:30:02,226
Well, a bear does not wear
an iron sword.
319
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,997
Abner, behold the champion
of Israel.
320
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:09,038
How did you slay the Iion?
321
00:30:09,507 --> 00:30:11,373
With a sling.
322
00:30:12,243 --> 00:30:13,574
Yeah.
323
00:30:13,745 --> 00:30:18,273
-In the manner of Judah.
-He could sing him to death, huh?
324
00:30:18,516 --> 00:30:19,881
King.
325
00:30:20,051 --> 00:30:21,519
Cousin.
326
00:30:21,753 --> 00:30:23,517
Let the boy go out.
327
00:30:24,656 --> 00:30:25,987
You're drunk.
328
00:30:26,157 --> 00:30:27,852
Who knows what can happen
in a fight?
329
00:30:28,593 --> 00:30:30,493
A Iucky stroke...
330
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:32,130
...a sling can kill.
331
00:30:32,297 --> 00:30:34,061
It is in Yahweh's hands.
332
00:30:34,232 --> 00:30:36,030
He's only a boy. He'II be killed.
333
00:30:36,201 --> 00:30:37,293
So?
334
00:30:37,468 --> 00:30:39,368
Then only a boy is killed.
335
00:30:39,537 --> 00:30:42,563
What glory is there in that
for the Philistines?
336
00:30:42,740 --> 00:30:44,037
What do we risk?
337
00:30:44,742 --> 00:30:46,335
Lord...
338
00:30:47,879 --> 00:30:50,280
...if I can kill Goliath...
339
00:30:51,115 --> 00:30:53,948
...then your army will believe
that Yahweh is strong.
340
00:30:54,219 --> 00:30:56,916
And that their god has Iost power.
341
00:30:57,088 --> 00:30:59,113
And if he kills me--
342
00:30:59,891 --> 00:31:03,486
Well, I'm only a shepherd,
so it will be a small thing.
343
00:31:08,766 --> 00:31:10,666
Now, who will...
344
00:31:11,202 --> 00:31:12,567
...play for me then?
345
00:31:12,737 --> 00:31:15,798
Any fighting man has the right
to take up the challenge, Saul.
346
00:31:15,974 --> 00:31:17,908
He is not a fighting man.
347
00:31:18,076 --> 00:31:20,909
There are other players of the Iyre,
cousin.
348
00:31:26,050 --> 00:31:27,677
Lord...
349
00:31:29,754 --> 00:31:32,086
...Iet me go out...
350
00:31:33,758 --> 00:31:35,817
...for Yahweh...
351
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:38,491
...for Saul.
352
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:34,775
How close must you be to kill?
353
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:39,288
Oh, 30 paces, Iess if I can.
354
00:32:40,258 --> 00:32:42,317
He can cast his spear at 40.
355
00:32:42,927 --> 00:32:45,021
If he closes to sword Iength...
356
00:32:45,363 --> 00:32:46,990
...he'II kill you.
357
00:33:17,061 --> 00:33:20,053
You come with a spear, Philistine.
358
00:33:20,465 --> 00:33:23,901
But I come with the name
of the Lord of Hosts...
359
00:33:24,402 --> 00:33:26,063
...Yahweh.
360
00:33:48,359 --> 00:33:49,383
Not too close.
361
00:34:24,462 --> 00:34:26,362
Yahweh!
362
00:34:30,401 --> 00:34:32,665
Now we'II attack.
363
00:34:37,175 --> 00:34:40,543
Here is the head of your enemy...
364
00:34:40,711 --> 00:34:44,341
...Goliath of Gath!
365
00:34:44,515 --> 00:34:48,179
I have killed him for you, Saul!
366
00:34:48,352 --> 00:34:51,219
And for Yahweh!
367
00:35:09,941 --> 00:35:11,932
I was in that town three years ago.
368
00:35:12,110 --> 00:35:15,910
The walls are doubled
and guarded by many soldiers.
369
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,208
Did you break in then?
370
00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:21,885
I broke out. We were inside.
The Philistines surrounded us.
371
00:35:24,188 --> 00:35:25,849
Well, Iord...
372
00:35:26,324 --> 00:35:29,419
...you are the son of the king.
What do we do?
373
00:35:29,594 --> 00:35:32,928
I'II hold a counsel of war
with my captain of a thousand.
374
00:35:33,097 --> 00:35:34,929
What do we do?
375
00:35:36,334 --> 00:35:37,699
How many in the garrison?
376
00:35:39,036 --> 00:35:42,734
Four hundred from Gath and Ashkelon
and another hundred mercenaries.
377
00:35:42,907 --> 00:35:45,740
If you were to take
the main company...
378
00:35:46,077 --> 00:35:48,444
...go along the road,
attacking the front gate.
379
00:35:48,613 --> 00:35:51,583
Why not just Iine them up
and cut their throats?
380
00:35:51,749 --> 00:35:56,687
I could take 200 men around the ridge
to the high place.
381
00:35:56,854 --> 00:36:01,189
We could come down
where the wall runs into the cliff.
382
00:36:01,359 --> 00:36:02,918
We'd be inside.
383
00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:04,619
It's straight up that way.
384
00:36:04,929 --> 00:36:07,330
I saw a goat halfway up.
385
00:36:07,498 --> 00:36:11,093
And where a goat can climb,
so can men of Judah.
386
00:36:11,602 --> 00:36:13,400
We'II have to wait till dark.
387
00:36:15,673 --> 00:36:19,337
When it's moon dark, we will attack.
388
00:37:10,361 --> 00:37:12,329
Saul, Saul
389
00:37:12,496 --> 00:37:14,328
Saul has slain his thousands
390
00:37:14,498 --> 00:37:18,401
But David, David
His tens ofthousands
391
00:37:18,569 --> 00:37:20,401
Saul, Saul
392
00:37:20,571 --> 00:37:22,198
Saul has slain his thousands
393
00:37:22,373 --> 00:37:25,673
But David, David
His tens ofthousands
394
00:37:25,843 --> 00:37:27,504
Saul, Saul
395
00:37:27,678 --> 00:37:29,305
Saul has slain his thousands
396
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,939
But David, David
His tens ofthousands
397
00:37:33,117 --> 00:37:34,516
Saul, Saul
398
00:37:35,186 --> 00:37:37,883
AII he Iacks now is the kingdom.
399
00:37:38,055 --> 00:37:39,989
But David, David
His tens ofthousands
400
00:37:40,157 --> 00:37:45,220
David. David. David.
401
00:39:31,969 --> 00:39:33,698
PIay me...
402
00:39:33,871 --> 00:39:35,999
...another song.
403
00:39:36,307 --> 00:39:40,301
A song the women of Israel sing...
404
00:39:41,579 --> 00:39:45,209
...with the cymbals and the drum.
405
00:39:46,016 --> 00:39:47,814
Saul
406
00:39:47,985 --> 00:39:50,886
Saul
407
00:39:51,122 --> 00:39:55,855
Saul has slain his thousands
408
00:39:56,127 --> 00:40:01,759
And David, David
His tens ofthousands
409
00:40:06,070 --> 00:40:08,539
PIay me that song, shepherd.
410
00:40:10,074 --> 00:40:12,600
PIay it for me.
411
00:40:12,777 --> 00:40:14,802
Captain of a thousand.
412
00:40:16,947 --> 00:40:18,938
Saul
413
00:40:19,116 --> 00:40:22,279
Saul
414
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,354
Saul has slain his thousands
415
00:40:26,524 --> 00:40:28,492
And David
416
00:40:29,393 --> 00:40:34,297
David, his tens ofthousands
417
00:40:36,167 --> 00:40:38,568
They all sing it.
418
00:40:47,578 --> 00:40:49,171
David.
419
00:40:51,215 --> 00:40:54,845
You are to Iead your thousand
against the Philistines in the west.
420
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:58,616
-How do you know?
-I Iistened.
421
00:40:58,856 --> 00:41:01,018
There's a meeting
in the war chief's room.
422
00:41:01,192 --> 00:41:03,718
Your brother, Jonathan,
would be very angry.
423
00:41:04,895 --> 00:41:06,522
David?
424
00:41:08,065 --> 00:41:11,501
Do you remember
when you first saw me?
425
00:41:13,137 --> 00:41:15,333
I remember when I saw you.
426
00:41:15,506 --> 00:41:17,497
-I remember.
-No, you don't.
427
00:41:18,375 --> 00:41:20,207
I was a Iittle girl.
428
00:41:20,377 --> 00:41:21,674
I'm a woman now.
429
00:41:21,846 --> 00:41:23,541
Fourteen.
430
00:41:26,250 --> 00:41:29,015
A beautiful woman, Michal...
431
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,215
...daughter of my Lord.
432
00:41:31,622 --> 00:41:33,317
David...
433
00:41:33,924 --> 00:41:35,892
...when you come back...
434
00:41:36,060 --> 00:41:38,995
...you will play the Iyre for me.
435
00:41:39,964 --> 00:41:42,194
I will sing you a song...
436
00:41:43,667 --> 00:41:45,658
...about a kitten.
437
00:41:46,637 --> 00:41:47,866
No.
438
00:41:48,038 --> 00:41:50,336
When you play the Iyre for me...
439
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:52,840
...I will sing for you.
440
00:41:53,577 --> 00:41:59,243
Saul, Saul, Saul has sl--
441
00:41:59,416 --> 00:42:01,441
Your brother waits for me
down at my Iodge.
442
00:42:01,619 --> 00:42:03,747
You may go, David.
443
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,436
She threw a fig at me
and said it was unfair...
444
00:42:19,603 --> 00:42:23,904
...that men can go through the women
of the household Iike a goat in spring.
445
00:42:24,441 --> 00:42:28,469
While a sister must wither and dry up
as a virgin.
446
00:42:28,646 --> 00:42:31,843
Wither and dry up, oh.
447
00:42:32,016 --> 00:42:34,075
Fourteen, she said.
448
00:42:34,585 --> 00:42:38,715
-Followed by 15--
-Then 16, huh?
449
00:42:38,889 --> 00:42:40,357
David.
450
00:42:41,759 --> 00:42:46,287
David, a girl who is 14 and throws figs
at her brother is ready for a husband.
451
00:42:46,463 --> 00:42:50,832
And a man who squirts wine
in his eye is more than ready...
452
00:42:51,001 --> 00:42:53,527
...for a wife.
453
00:42:54,605 --> 00:42:56,664
The daughter of a king?
454
00:42:57,007 --> 00:42:58,031
Oh, no.
455
00:42:58,442 --> 00:43:00,809
I'm the son of a king.
456
00:43:00,978 --> 00:43:04,175
And I still only wear one shoe
on each foot.
457
00:43:04,682 --> 00:43:06,912
Well, who am I?
458
00:43:07,952 --> 00:43:12,287
What is my father's family in Israel
that I should be son-in-Iaw to a king?
459
00:43:12,456 --> 00:43:14,288
Give him my sister, Father.
460
00:43:15,059 --> 00:43:17,551
The people Iove David.
461
00:43:19,830 --> 00:43:21,764
Michal?
462
00:43:22,499 --> 00:43:23,864
Do you Iove him?
463
00:43:24,401 --> 00:43:27,371
If my father ordered me
to David's bed...
464
00:43:27,538 --> 00:43:29,302
...I would obey.
465
00:43:31,342 --> 00:43:34,676
When the night sweat
comes on me...
466
00:43:35,879 --> 00:43:38,348
...I'm afraid.
467
00:43:40,050 --> 00:43:42,075
Afraid of David.
468
00:43:42,486 --> 00:43:46,480
Married to Michal, he would be tied
to the House of Saul.
469
00:44:02,306 --> 00:44:04,866
You tell him...
470
00:44:05,309 --> 00:44:08,210
...Saul the King...
471
00:44:08,712 --> 00:44:12,307
...asks for no bride price...
472
00:44:13,784 --> 00:44:16,310
...but for a dowry.
473
00:44:17,788 --> 00:44:20,917
Let him bring me proof...
474
00:44:21,091 --> 00:44:24,755
...of the killing of a hundred
of my enemies.
475
00:44:25,095 --> 00:44:28,622
A hundred foreskins
of the Philistines...
476
00:44:30,167 --> 00:44:32,363
...for vengeance.
477
00:44:37,474 --> 00:44:40,444
Are you afraid for him, my son?
478
00:44:46,784 --> 00:44:48,411
David.
479
00:44:49,119 --> 00:44:50,678
-David.
-Wait, whoa.
480
00:44:50,854 --> 00:44:54,757
David, take care and stay away from
the garrisons and the walled towns.
481
00:44:55,626 --> 00:45:00,621
I've seen a man without a foreskin
but never a foreskin without a man.
482
00:45:01,165 --> 00:45:03,065
I must go
where there are Philistines.
483
00:45:03,233 --> 00:45:06,897
David, he said he was afraid of you
when the spirit is on him.
484
00:45:07,071 --> 00:45:08,505
He's giving me his daughter.
485
00:45:08,672 --> 00:45:13,508
Yes, but if you are killed collecting
the bride price...
486
00:45:13,977 --> 00:45:16,844
...I think he would only weep
with one eye.
487
00:45:18,315 --> 00:45:20,977
Well, I have no intention of dying.
488
00:47:04,788 --> 00:47:06,517
David...
489
00:47:08,692 --> 00:47:10,558
...will you play the Iyre for me?
490
00:47:11,061 --> 00:47:13,393
I have forgotten how.
491
00:48:14,324 --> 00:48:15,883
Die.
492
00:48:31,074 --> 00:48:34,704
Michal, daughter of Saul.
493
00:48:34,878 --> 00:48:38,712
We are ordered to bring David
to the house of the king.
494
00:48:38,882 --> 00:48:41,817
If you don't go now, he will kill you.
495
00:48:48,191 --> 00:48:49,886
What is it? We are sleeping.
496
00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:53,086
We must take David
to the king now.
497
00:48:58,936 --> 00:49:02,395
Go away.
Tell my father David is sick.
498
00:50:35,899 --> 00:50:37,628
David.
499
00:51:00,857 --> 00:51:04,316
David, son of Jesse.
500
00:51:15,739 --> 00:51:19,175
Prophet, I claim sanctuary.
501
00:51:19,342 --> 00:51:20,832
I know.
502
00:51:21,011 --> 00:51:24,777
There are men of the prophet
in every place in Israel.
503
00:51:24,948 --> 00:51:28,282
Even in the house of Saul at Gibeah.
504
00:51:28,985 --> 00:51:32,387
I have waited for you, David,
son of Jesse.
505
00:51:34,024 --> 00:51:35,617
Waited.
506
00:51:38,261 --> 00:51:40,127
But how did you know that I--?
507
00:51:40,297 --> 00:51:42,857
My hand has been on you,
my prophets have watched you...
508
00:51:43,033 --> 00:51:45,559
...and whispered your name
throughout Israel.
509
00:51:45,735 --> 00:51:47,430
If you are in danger...
510
00:51:47,604 --> 00:51:49,971
...seek sanctuary
with the high priests at Nob.
511
00:51:53,076 --> 00:51:55,841
And Yahweh said to me
512
00:51:56,012 --> 00:51:58,606
"Fill your horn with oil...
513
00:51:58,949 --> 00:52:01,714
...and I will send you to Jesse.
514
00:52:01,918 --> 00:52:06,412
For I have provided me
a king among his sons."
515
00:52:06,590 --> 00:52:08,718
Yahweh says it.
516
00:52:09,292 --> 00:52:11,852
And I have anointed him with oil...
517
00:52:12,028 --> 00:52:15,054
...and the spirit of Yahweh
is on him.
518
00:52:15,465 --> 00:52:19,402
And he will cause the house of Saul
to crumble into dust...
519
00:52:19,569 --> 00:52:22,061
...and blow away with the wind.
520
00:52:23,406 --> 00:52:25,135
No.
521
00:52:25,308 --> 00:52:27,276
No.
522
00:52:28,078 --> 00:52:29,603
No.
523
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:32,008
You are the anointed one.
524
00:52:32,182 --> 00:52:34,048
No.
525
00:52:35,819 --> 00:52:38,584
I am Saul's man.
526
00:52:39,122 --> 00:52:41,716
He made me captain of a thousand.
527
00:52:41,892 --> 00:52:45,851
Though he is ill and tried to kill me,
he is the anointed one.
528
00:52:46,763 --> 00:52:51,701
His son is my brother
and his daughter is my wife.
529
00:52:52,502 --> 00:52:54,630
Saul is the king.
530
00:52:54,804 --> 00:52:56,272
Saul.
531
00:52:56,439 --> 00:52:58,373
Saul.
532
00:53:00,210 --> 00:53:02,508
Saul is king.
533
00:53:02,879 --> 00:53:04,870
Saul.
534
00:53:40,317 --> 00:53:42,308
What have I done?
535
00:53:42,485 --> 00:53:44,852
What is my crime against Saul?
536
00:53:45,021 --> 00:53:47,922
None. Come back with me, David.
We'II go to Saul.
537
00:53:48,091 --> 00:53:50,423
We'II swear your Ioyalty to him.
538
00:53:50,827 --> 00:53:53,660
I need your strength and Iove
more than ever now.
539
00:53:53,997 --> 00:53:56,022
I was one step away from death.
540
00:53:56,199 --> 00:53:58,634
His spear put a cold wind in my gut.
541
00:53:58,802 --> 00:54:03,262
No, I must know
before I can go back to Saul.
542
00:54:04,007 --> 00:54:05,031
Can you go to him?
543
00:54:05,208 --> 00:54:08,178
Find out if he's forgotten
or if he still wants my blood.
544
00:54:08,511 --> 00:54:09,979
And then come back and tell me.
545
00:54:10,380 --> 00:54:11,745
Where? Here?
546
00:54:11,915 --> 00:54:14,577
No. No, he may have someone
follow you.
547
00:54:16,219 --> 00:54:18,916
A field to the south across the wadi.
548
00:54:19,089 --> 00:54:21,820
Where the Iittle stone house
stands from the old days.
549
00:54:21,992 --> 00:54:23,460
Hide there.
550
00:54:23,627 --> 00:54:26,528
I'II come out with my bow
to practice.
551
00:54:26,696 --> 00:54:28,357
If I tell the boy...
552
00:54:28,531 --> 00:54:31,228
...pick up the arrows
and come back...
553
00:54:31,401 --> 00:54:34,166
...then my father
is at peace with you.
554
00:54:34,337 --> 00:54:36,169
But if I tell him
555
00:54:36,373 --> 00:54:39,172
"No, the arrows are beyond you"...
556
00:54:40,110 --> 00:54:43,239
...then you will know that Saul
is still your enemy and you must go.
557
00:54:43,513 --> 00:54:45,345
Jonathan...
558
00:54:45,615 --> 00:54:48,744
...you are the first after Saul
in his house.
559
00:54:48,918 --> 00:54:51,444
You will be king after him.
560
00:54:52,689 --> 00:54:56,819
If you honestly believe that I am
an enemy to the House of Saul...
561
00:54:56,993 --> 00:54:58,825
...kill me now yourself.
562
00:54:58,995 --> 00:55:01,896
Don't take me in a trap
and bring me alive before Saul.
563
00:55:03,233 --> 00:55:04,325
Brother.
564
00:55:06,569 --> 00:55:08,230
If my father...
565
00:55:08,405 --> 00:55:10,669
...wants your Iife...
566
00:55:11,941 --> 00:55:13,568
...I will tell you...
567
00:55:13,743 --> 00:55:15,507
...and you will Iive.
568
00:55:26,756 --> 00:55:28,918
You've seen David?
569
00:55:29,759 --> 00:55:31,454
He is...
570
00:55:32,095 --> 00:55:34,291
...at Bethlehem with his father.
571
00:55:34,898 --> 00:55:37,060
For the yearly sacrifice.
572
00:55:37,434 --> 00:55:39,300
You Iie.
573
00:55:39,602 --> 00:55:41,536
Oh, I know, I know.
574
00:55:41,705 --> 00:55:44,197
You're all with him. You!
575
00:55:44,374 --> 00:55:47,935
Connived to Iet him, my enemy,
escape. And you.
576
00:55:48,111 --> 00:55:50,603
You chose Jesse's son against me.
577
00:55:50,780 --> 00:55:52,441
Against your father.
578
00:55:52,615 --> 00:55:54,481
I am unashamed.
579
00:55:54,651 --> 00:55:56,517
People will think you're not my son.
580
00:55:56,686 --> 00:56:03,058
That she whored with some stranger
and he begot an ungrateful bastard.
581
00:56:03,226 --> 00:56:05,285
Listen to me!
582
00:56:05,462 --> 00:56:07,931
As Iong as Da--
583
00:56:08,098 --> 00:56:11,363
As Iong as the son of Jesse Iives...
584
00:56:11,534 --> 00:56:14,026
...you are in danger.
585
00:56:14,204 --> 00:56:20,143
You will not be king of Israel
after me while he Iives.
586
00:56:20,343 --> 00:56:23,745
Now, you've seen him.
You know where he is. Take him.
587
00:56:23,913 --> 00:56:25,074
Bring him here.
588
00:56:25,248 --> 00:56:27,580
He shall die. He deserves to die.
589
00:56:27,751 --> 00:56:30,311
What has he done?
Why, why should he be put to death?
590
00:56:30,487 --> 00:56:33,684
Fool! Choose him against me.
591
00:56:33,857 --> 00:56:36,053
You take his path against me?
592
00:56:36,226 --> 00:56:39,628
AII of you. AII.
You all take a plot against me.
593
00:56:39,796 --> 00:56:42,322
Well, I swore. I swore an oath.
594
00:56:42,499 --> 00:56:45,298
That whosoever shall sin against me--
Out of my way, Abner.
595
00:56:45,468 --> 00:56:46,629
--Shall die. I swore it.
596
00:56:46,803 --> 00:56:48,669
Be it my own son, he shall die.
597
00:56:48,838 --> 00:56:50,897
I tell you, I am--
598
00:56:55,979 --> 00:56:57,743
Oh, God.
599
00:57:25,542 --> 00:57:27,374
No.
600
00:57:27,911 --> 00:57:30,608
The arrows are beyond you.
601
00:57:31,981 --> 00:57:34,916
I'II shoot no more today.
602
00:57:54,571 --> 00:57:55,834
David.
603
00:58:20,129 --> 00:58:21,654
David...
604
00:58:23,399 --> 00:58:25,333
...give me your hand.
605
00:58:29,239 --> 00:58:31,333
Give me your hand.
606
00:58:50,693 --> 00:58:53,390
We are of one blood, David.
607
00:58:54,330 --> 00:58:55,729
Brothers.
608
00:58:56,132 --> 00:58:57,566
Brother...
609
00:58:58,034 --> 00:59:00,594
...if you should take
my father's place...
610
00:59:00,770 --> 00:59:04,172
-No.
-If you are king.
611
00:59:05,375 --> 00:59:07,503
No. He is the anointed.
612
00:59:07,677 --> 00:59:10,840
And your wise men say,
"Kill all the remnant of Saul...
613
00:59:11,014 --> 00:59:13,506
...so none can rise in rebellion."
614
00:59:14,217 --> 00:59:15,707
Even then...
615
00:59:17,253 --> 00:59:19,085
...be my brother.
616
00:59:19,889 --> 00:59:22,119
And if I do not Iive...
617
00:59:23,860 --> 00:59:25,988
...you will not cut off my house.
618
00:59:27,230 --> 00:59:28,629
No.
619
00:59:28,865 --> 00:59:31,527
You come after Saul in Israel.
620
00:59:35,271 --> 00:59:37,467
I have seen a king.
621
00:59:38,575 --> 00:59:41,203
I would rather be David's brother.
622
00:59:41,377 --> 00:59:42,538
Go.
623
00:59:42,712 --> 00:59:43,838
Go quickly.
624
00:59:44,547 --> 00:59:45,844
Go in peace.
625
00:59:59,062 --> 01:00:00,427
Ahimelech.
626
01:00:00,597 --> 01:00:02,292
Wait.
627
01:00:02,465 --> 01:00:04,797
Wait, I'm coming.
628
01:00:13,042 --> 01:00:15,477
Captain of a thousand.
629
01:00:21,918 --> 01:00:24,182
Where are your men, captain?
630
01:00:24,354 --> 01:00:26,584
Why are you alone?
631
01:00:27,724 --> 01:00:30,091
The king has sent me
on his business...
632
01:00:30,259 --> 01:00:33,354
...and has ordered me
that no man know of it.
633
01:00:37,500 --> 01:00:41,232
I have sent my soldiers
on ahead to meet me.
634
01:00:41,871 --> 01:00:44,431
Listen, Ahimelech,
you are to help me.
635
01:00:44,607 --> 01:00:48,202
I need supplies. You have food?
636
01:00:49,545 --> 01:00:52,446
There is no common bread, captain.
637
01:00:52,615 --> 01:00:54,709
That's the holy bread.
638
01:00:54,884 --> 01:00:57,376
For the Lord's altar.
639
01:00:58,154 --> 01:00:59,747
I've just come from Gibeah.
640
01:01:00,256 --> 01:01:01,314
From Saul?
641
01:01:01,491 --> 01:01:05,086
Yes, from Saul and I'm hungry.
642
01:01:05,261 --> 01:01:06,922
Well...
643
01:01:07,263 --> 01:01:10,858
...the fresh bread goes on the altar
in the morning.
644
01:01:11,034 --> 01:01:13,799
If you are on the business
of the king.
645
01:01:21,110 --> 01:01:23,636
I had to Ieave the king quickly.
646
01:01:23,813 --> 01:01:26,748
I didn't have a chance
to get my own weapons.
647
01:01:26,916 --> 01:01:27,940
Do you have any?
648
01:01:28,651 --> 01:01:30,517
There is no spear.
649
01:01:30,687 --> 01:01:33,657
This is a house of the Lord, but--
650
01:01:44,167 --> 01:01:46,261
The sword of Goliath.
651
01:01:46,436 --> 01:01:48,666
The Philistine you killed.
652
01:02:36,652 --> 01:02:38,484
Every day we grow stronger
and stronger.
653
01:02:38,654 --> 01:02:40,816
Yes. Soon we'II be 100 men.
654
01:02:40,990 --> 01:02:44,221
There are men coming to you
from all parts of Judah, David.
655
01:02:44,393 --> 01:02:48,728
Everyone in debt or in distress
Iooks to you as their captain.
656
01:02:48,898 --> 01:02:50,127
But how shall we Iive?
657
01:02:50,399 --> 01:02:52,026
There is a spring nearby.
658
01:02:52,201 --> 01:02:54,033
And in this cave
we are not only safe...
659
01:02:54,203 --> 01:02:56,433
...but the farmers around us
will now be safe.
660
01:02:56,606 --> 01:03:00,634
Because they are wealthy, they need
protection from the Philistines...
661
01:03:00,810 --> 01:03:04,678
...so they will support us.
And we will defend them.
662
01:03:04,847 --> 01:03:07,976
And the Lord will save us
from the wrath of Saul.
663
01:03:08,151 --> 01:03:10,017
We will need his help.
664
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:15,890
Especially now when the news
of the massacre at Nob is known.
665
01:03:16,058 --> 01:03:17,685
What happened at Nob?
666
01:03:22,565 --> 01:03:24,363
Who are you?
667
01:03:24,667 --> 01:03:26,635
Abiathar.
668
01:03:26,803 --> 01:03:29,170
Son of Ahimelech.
669
01:03:29,338 --> 01:03:32,069
High priest at Nob.
670
01:03:32,508 --> 01:03:33,737
Why are you in mourning?
671
01:03:36,779 --> 01:03:38,508
He is dead.
672
01:03:41,184 --> 01:03:43,846
My father is dead.
673
01:03:45,955 --> 01:03:48,754
When it was told to Saul
that you came...
674
01:03:48,925 --> 01:03:51,360
...that my father gave you bread...
675
01:03:51,527 --> 01:03:56,226
...Saul sent his soldiers
and took all the priests.
676
01:03:56,966 --> 01:03:58,866
They are dead.
677
01:03:59,168 --> 01:04:01,660
And the town was sacked.
678
01:04:02,004 --> 01:04:03,494
AII dead.
679
01:04:03,673 --> 01:04:04,902
Except for me.
680
01:04:05,474 --> 01:04:07,101
I knew.
681
01:04:08,444 --> 01:04:13,575
I knew that Doeg, that Edomite,
would surely tell Saul...
682
01:04:17,019 --> 01:04:20,387
...but I was afraid for my own Iife.
683
01:04:23,826 --> 01:04:27,126
I caused the death of your father.
684
01:04:27,964 --> 01:04:30,433
And of all the priests.
685
01:04:53,556 --> 01:04:57,959
Stay with me, Abiathar,
son of Ahimelech.
686
01:04:58,361 --> 01:05:00,955
For my enemy is yours...
687
01:05:01,130 --> 01:05:03,622
...and I will hold you safe.
688
01:05:36,933 --> 01:05:38,492
Joab.
689
01:05:39,302 --> 01:05:41,794
I repeated your words
to Nabal, David.
690
01:05:41,971 --> 01:05:43,700
"We come in peace," I said.
691
01:05:43,873 --> 01:05:46,399
"We protected your sheep
on the mountains," I said.
692
01:05:46,575 --> 01:05:49,840
Surely, you've got something for us,
for David and his 600 men.
693
01:05:50,780 --> 01:05:52,771
"Who is this David?" he says.
694
01:05:52,949 --> 01:05:55,145
"And why should I feed 600 men?
695
01:05:55,618 --> 01:05:57,211
I've got my own house to feed."
696
01:06:11,033 --> 01:06:12,728
What is his name?
697
01:06:12,902 --> 01:06:14,597
Nabal.
698
01:06:16,272 --> 01:06:19,037
How many months
have we been in this place?
699
01:06:19,208 --> 01:06:21,438
Have we ever stolen a sheep?
700
01:06:21,610 --> 01:06:23,510
Have we ever burned villages?
701
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,580
Have we ever trampled grain fields?
No.
702
01:06:26,749 --> 01:06:29,775
We drove the Philistine raiders out.
703
01:06:30,386 --> 01:06:32,787
Nabal.
704
01:06:35,958 --> 01:06:37,619
Yahweh...
705
01:06:37,793 --> 01:06:42,060
...curse me if I Ieave any man alive
in his house by morning.
706
01:06:42,231 --> 01:06:45,565
Man, child, ram or goat.
707
01:07:18,434 --> 01:07:22,598
Lord, I am Abigail, wife of Nabal.
708
01:07:23,572 --> 01:07:25,700
Lord, my husband is a fool.
709
01:07:25,875 --> 01:07:29,505
I was away when your men came
or I would've welcomed them.
710
01:07:29,678 --> 01:07:34,514
I have 200 Ioaves of bread
and two skins of wine.
711
01:07:34,683 --> 01:07:36,208
And sheep.
712
01:07:36,385 --> 01:07:39,082
And raisins and figs.
713
01:07:39,255 --> 01:07:41,451
They are yours, Iord.
714
01:07:41,957 --> 01:07:43,356
And when it comes to pass...
715
01:07:43,526 --> 01:07:46,894
...that Yahweh makes you prince
over Israel...
716
01:07:47,063 --> 01:07:52,763
...then there will be no blood guilt
on you over poor, foolish Nabal.
717
01:07:54,170 --> 01:07:57,663
And when Yahweh heaps blessings
on you, Iord...
718
01:08:00,609 --> 01:08:04,273
...then you'II remember Abigail,
your handmaiden.
719
01:08:04,647 --> 01:08:08,379
Nabal is a fortunate man
to have such a wise wife.
720
01:08:32,108 --> 01:08:34,736
Lord, Iive forever.
721
01:08:37,413 --> 01:08:40,974
I am David, son of Jesse,
not Iord. Drink.
722
01:08:45,321 --> 01:08:47,153
Samuel is dead.
723
01:08:47,323 --> 01:08:48,688
The prophet is dead.
724
01:09:01,437 --> 01:09:02,563
Saul of Ramah?
725
01:09:02,738 --> 01:09:05,935
He was there for the burial
and the sacrifice.
726
01:09:06,108 --> 01:09:09,373
-Did Saul mourn for Samuel?
-He was seized.
727
01:09:09,545 --> 01:09:11,274
Fell and bit the grass.
728
01:09:18,287 --> 01:09:20,346
Once he said
729
01:09:20,856 --> 01:09:23,621
"Never Iet an old man
pour oil on your head.
730
01:09:23,792 --> 01:09:26,989
It's bad Iuck for farmers...
731
01:09:27,530 --> 01:09:29,589
...and for shepherds."
732
01:09:30,199 --> 01:09:31,394
Where is Saul now?
733
01:09:31,700 --> 01:09:34,965
He pursued a raiding party
of Philistines to Meyon.
734
01:09:35,137 --> 01:09:38,402
But there the people
told him where David was.
735
01:09:38,574 --> 01:09:39,973
How many men?
736
01:09:40,142 --> 01:09:41,871
Three thousand.
737
01:09:42,511 --> 01:09:45,811
He could chase the Philistines back
to the sea but he comes after you.
738
01:09:46,215 --> 01:09:47,979
He's come after us before.
739
01:09:48,317 --> 01:09:50,718
How Iong are you going to Iet
an old man hunt you...
740
01:09:50,886 --> 01:09:53,514
...Iike a partridge in the mountains?
741
01:09:53,689 --> 01:09:55,179
Tell him, brother.
742
01:09:55,357 --> 01:09:57,416
We went to the village of Abib.
743
01:09:57,593 --> 01:09:59,584
You saved them
from the Philistines.
744
01:09:59,762 --> 01:10:01,594
They were our friends.
745
01:10:01,764 --> 01:10:03,630
This time, they hid from us.
746
01:10:04,133 --> 01:10:07,228
Drove away the flocks.
Took away the grain.
747
01:10:07,403 --> 01:10:12,068
No one was there but an old man
sweating with fear.
748
01:10:12,241 --> 01:10:14,335
Not of us, but Saul.
749
01:10:14,510 --> 01:10:16,308
He has made a Iaw.
750
01:10:16,478 --> 01:10:18,310
Anyone who gives food
or shelters us...
751
01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:20,881
...or refuses to tell where we hide
is to be killed.
752
01:10:21,050 --> 01:10:24,748
The men will be hungry in five days
and starving in 20.
753
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,754
Saul fished for us
Iike a man with a spear...
754
01:10:28,924 --> 01:10:32,690
...throwing it in the muddy water.
Now, he's drying up the pond.
755
01:10:32,861 --> 01:10:35,489
You must move now.
756
01:10:35,664 --> 01:10:38,031
The old prophet was for you.
757
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:41,534
Judah would rise.
Part of Ephraim, half of Manasseh.
758
01:10:41,704 --> 01:10:44,503
Only Benjamin would stay
with that old madman.
759
01:10:44,673 --> 01:10:46,402
Joab.
760
01:10:46,575 --> 01:10:48,737
Should I start a war
among the tribes?
761
01:10:48,911 --> 01:10:52,711
Should I have the blood of Israel
on my head?
762
01:10:53,449 --> 01:10:55,577
Saul was as my father.
763
01:10:55,751 --> 01:10:59,517
Your father is hunting you
with 3000 men.
764
01:10:59,688 --> 01:11:01,281
Move against him in the night.
765
01:11:01,457 --> 01:11:03,824
How many of those 3000
will fight against David?
766
01:11:04,193 --> 01:11:06,992
I am not a rebel against Saul.
767
01:11:07,162 --> 01:11:08,652
Tell that to Saul.
768
01:11:09,131 --> 01:11:10,360
You have no choice.
769
01:11:10,532 --> 01:11:12,728
I am not a rebel against Saul.
770
01:11:13,002 --> 01:11:15,471
If his men find you,
your head will be on a spear...
771
01:11:15,638 --> 01:11:18,300
...and your body nailed
to the wall of Saul's house...
772
01:11:18,474 --> 01:11:21,739
...the Iittle children will point
at it and say, "See? That was David.
773
01:11:21,910 --> 01:11:23,639
He was not a rebel against Saul."
774
01:11:24,813 --> 01:11:27,839
Saul has an evil spirit,
sent from Yahweh to torment him.
775
01:11:28,017 --> 01:11:30,543
But I have Joab, son of my sister.
776
01:11:33,322 --> 01:11:36,292
Well, uncle...
777
01:11:36,458 --> 01:11:41,794
...at Ieast send spies to number
Saul's camp and discover his plans.
778
01:11:42,164 --> 01:11:47,603
Some sneaky, slippery fellow
could wriggle on his belly Iike a snake.
779
01:14:19,121 --> 01:14:20,816
He's your enemy.
780
01:14:20,989 --> 01:14:24,050
Yahweh gave him into your hand.
781
01:14:24,226 --> 01:14:25,716
No.
782
01:14:27,029 --> 01:14:28,929
Someday.
783
01:14:29,698 --> 01:14:32,292
Someday, Yahweh will strike him.
784
01:14:32,568 --> 01:14:36,004
Or he'II go into battle
and be swept away.
785
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,372
But not by my hand.
786
01:14:40,709 --> 01:14:42,040
No.
787
01:15:01,563 --> 01:15:04,089
Abner!
788
01:15:06,735 --> 01:15:09,466
Abner!
789
01:15:11,773 --> 01:15:15,732
Abner, where are you, war chief?
790
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:22,945
You have not kept guard
over the anointed one.
791
01:15:25,521 --> 01:15:27,819
Abner.
792
01:15:28,056 --> 01:15:31,253
You deserve to die.
793
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:36,027
Where is Saul's spear
that was at his head?
794
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:40,796
Abner.
795
01:15:43,372 --> 01:15:47,934
Here is the water jug
that was at his hand.
796
01:15:48,343 --> 01:15:50,402
-Seize him!
-No!
797
01:15:54,783 --> 01:15:56,717
David.
798
01:15:57,286 --> 01:15:59,311
David.
799
01:16:00,656 --> 01:16:02,351
David.
800
01:16:03,358 --> 01:16:04,917
Lord.
801
01:16:05,527 --> 01:16:07,154
Lord.
802
01:16:07,396 --> 01:16:10,263
Why do you hunt me, Iord?
803
01:16:12,134 --> 01:16:14,933
What have I done to you?
804
01:16:16,004 --> 01:16:20,339
If any man has made you to be angry
at me, Iet him be cursed!
805
01:16:20,909 --> 01:16:23,207
For I am driven out...
806
01:16:23,378 --> 01:16:26,006
...and away from the inheritance
the Lord gave Abraham...
807
01:16:26,181 --> 01:16:29,151
...the Iand that is Israel.
808
01:16:30,319 --> 01:16:34,984
I am forced to go
and serve other gods.
809
01:16:37,492 --> 01:16:39,221
Lord...
810
01:16:40,362 --> 01:16:44,959
...do not Iet me die a stranger
somewhere.
811
01:16:45,300 --> 01:16:50,067
My blood to run into the earth
away from the presence of Yahweh.
812
01:16:51,707 --> 01:16:53,732
David.
813
01:16:54,476 --> 01:16:57,173
David, my son.
814
01:17:02,618 --> 01:17:04,712
Saul!
815
01:17:05,687 --> 01:17:07,655
King of Israel.
816
01:17:09,024 --> 01:17:12,892
Why do you hunt me
Iike a partridge in the mountains?
817
01:17:16,064 --> 01:17:18,158
Here.
818
01:17:18,333 --> 01:17:22,634
Here is the king's spear.
819
01:17:23,905 --> 01:17:27,842
Yahweh gave you into my hands,
Saul.
820
01:17:28,010 --> 01:17:31,036
But I would not raise it against you.
821
01:17:31,313 --> 01:17:33,213
Saul.
822
01:17:33,882 --> 01:17:36,442
Here is your spear.
823
01:17:56,271 --> 01:17:58,433
David.
824
01:17:58,607 --> 01:18:00,268
My son.
825
01:18:00,442 --> 01:18:02,376
My son.
826
01:18:02,878 --> 01:18:04,676
David.
827
01:18:26,168 --> 01:18:27,829
Yahweh...
828
01:18:28,336 --> 01:18:31,237
...what is there Ieft for me to do?
829
01:18:33,742 --> 01:18:37,508
I must escape into the Iand
of the Philistines...
830
01:18:38,180 --> 01:18:41,810
...or I shall be swept away
by the hand of Saul.
831
01:19:14,182 --> 01:19:17,550
Go on. Go on, David.
Where did you raid next?
832
01:19:17,719 --> 01:19:21,383
Then, into the southern Iands
of Judah, Iord.
833
01:19:21,556 --> 01:19:22,990
The wilderness of the Negev.
834
01:19:23,291 --> 01:19:26,454
Judah? Your own tribe, eh?
835
01:19:26,862 --> 01:19:28,990
What a delightful irony.
836
01:19:29,164 --> 01:19:31,258
The sword of Achish,
the Philistine...
837
01:19:31,433 --> 01:19:34,835
...carried into the Iand of Saul
by David of Judah.
838
01:19:35,537 --> 01:19:38,996
Well, well.
I am a good judge of mercenaries, eh?
839
01:19:39,274 --> 01:19:43,211
For three years, the city of Gath
has had full measure for your pay.
840
01:19:43,378 --> 01:19:47,645
And now Ioyal service
should have a reward.
841
01:19:47,816 --> 01:19:50,683
And I have one for you, David.
842
01:19:51,653 --> 01:19:53,644
Revenge.
843
01:19:53,822 --> 01:19:55,950
On your enemy.
844
01:19:56,124 --> 01:19:57,558
What enemy, Iord?
845
01:19:58,026 --> 01:19:59,516
Saul.
846
01:19:59,694 --> 01:20:01,753
King of Israel.
847
01:20:09,471 --> 01:20:12,964
We're joining forces
with all five cities of Philistia.
848
01:20:13,141 --> 01:20:16,167
And this time,
not a small raid but a war.
849
01:20:16,344 --> 01:20:19,712
A hundred chariots from Gath,
4000 spearmen...
850
01:20:19,881 --> 01:20:23,840
...the same from Gaza and Ashkelon,
Ekron and Ashdod...
851
01:20:24,186 --> 01:20:29,556
...and you and your men.
You will be our personal bodyguard.
852
01:20:30,091 --> 01:20:32,492
This is your chance, David.
853
01:20:32,661 --> 01:20:35,130
The destruction of Saul.
854
01:20:35,897 --> 01:20:38,195
This is what
you've been waiting for.
855
01:20:38,867 --> 01:20:40,733
I know you, David.
856
01:20:40,902 --> 01:20:44,964
If you know me, Iord,
you know what I will do.
857
01:20:47,642 --> 01:20:50,509
So we raided the southern parts
of Judah.
858
01:20:50,679 --> 01:20:53,171
You know we never set foot
in Saul's Iand.
859
01:20:53,348 --> 01:20:56,113
Suppose he finds out
we raided his own allies in the Sinai
860
01:20:56,284 --> 01:20:58,343
No, he won't.
We Ieft no witnesses, remember?
861
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,285
Yes, but this time
there will be witnesses.
862
01:21:01,456 --> 01:21:03,823
You wouldn't Iet me kill Saul
with his spear...
863
01:21:03,992 --> 01:21:06,086
...but you promised to march
against him.
864
01:21:06,261 --> 01:21:08,195
I did not promise.
865
01:21:08,363 --> 01:21:09,489
But you just said--
866
01:21:09,664 --> 01:21:13,760
I said, "If you know me, Iord,
you know what I will do."
867
01:21:22,677 --> 01:21:23,906
Who knows you, David?
868
01:21:24,980 --> 01:21:27,312
Who knows what you'II do?
869
01:21:28,116 --> 01:21:29,914
Do you know?
870
01:21:30,352 --> 01:21:32,753
Do even you know what you'II do?
871
01:22:02,751 --> 01:22:04,116
I--
872
01:22:04,286 --> 01:22:08,655
I was not born to be a king.
I did the best I knew, you understand.
873
01:22:08,823 --> 01:22:10,757
I did the best I could.
874
01:22:10,926 --> 01:22:12,894
Samuel!
875
01:22:13,428 --> 01:22:16,557
Show me what to do.
876
01:22:22,137 --> 01:22:24,231
Yahweh...
877
01:22:24,406 --> 01:22:27,865
...is gone from you.
878
01:22:28,376 --> 01:22:35,112
He said that I heard the voice
of Samuel.
879
01:22:35,483 --> 01:22:41,445
Yahweh has torn
your kingdom from you.
880
01:22:41,623 --> 01:22:44,388
And I remember.
881
01:22:44,559 --> 01:22:48,359
Samuel's robe tore in my hand.
882
01:22:48,530 --> 01:22:53,161
No. No. No, that was--
That was Iong ago.
883
01:22:53,335 --> 01:22:56,361
And he, he said
884
01:22:56,771 --> 01:23:00,366
"Yahweh will give Israel...
885
01:23:00,542 --> 01:23:03,807
...into the hand of the Philistines.
886
01:23:03,979 --> 01:23:10,851
And tomorrow each of you
and your sons...
887
01:23:11,019 --> 01:23:14,387
...will be in death with me."
888
01:23:14,990 --> 01:23:16,754
No, you're unreasonable.
889
01:23:16,925 --> 01:23:18,393
David is my captain.
890
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:20,790
He's made his people abhor him.
891
01:23:20,962 --> 01:23:23,226
Therefore he shall be my servant
forever.
892
01:23:23,398 --> 01:23:25,025
He is a Hebrew.
893
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:26,361
I know.
894
01:23:26,534 --> 01:23:29,128
You remember what happened
at Michmash.
895
01:23:29,304 --> 01:23:31,238
The Hebrew mercenaries
deserted us.
896
01:23:31,406 --> 01:23:33,500
Joined the enemy.
My father died there...
897
01:23:33,675 --> 01:23:35,404
...because a Hebrew dog
betrayed him.
898
01:23:35,577 --> 01:23:38,478
Well, why would he desert?
Saul Iongs for his blood.
899
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:43,681
In this battle, I want all the
Hebrews in front of me.
900
01:23:43,852 --> 01:23:45,081
Facing my spear.
901
01:23:45,253 --> 01:23:48,382
I would put my Iife in David's hands.
902
01:23:48,556 --> 01:23:51,753
I have. He and his men
are my bodyguards.
903
01:23:52,027 --> 01:23:54,121
Have you forgotten the song?
904
01:23:54,295 --> 01:23:56,730
"Saul has slain his thousands.
905
01:23:56,898 --> 01:23:59,765
And David his tens of thousands."
906
01:23:59,934 --> 01:24:03,199
No. I have the right to choose
my own men.
907
01:24:03,371 --> 01:24:05,806
David marches with me
against Saul.
908
01:24:05,974 --> 01:24:09,569
There are five kings
of the Philistines.
909
01:24:09,744 --> 01:24:11,439
Four of us say...
910
01:24:11,613 --> 01:24:13,945
...send the Hebrew back.
911
01:24:47,082 --> 01:24:48,208
I am sorry, David.
912
01:24:48,383 --> 01:24:50,875
I cannot Iet you go into the battle
against Israel.
913
01:24:51,052 --> 01:24:53,248
But, Iord, what have I done?
914
01:24:53,421 --> 01:24:55,753
Am I not to be allowed to fight
against enemies...
915
01:24:55,924 --> 01:24:58,359
-...of my Iord, the king?
-There's nothing I can do.
916
01:24:58,526 --> 01:25:01,621
At first morning Iight,
Ieave with your men.
917
01:25:02,630 --> 01:25:05,292
Don't misunderstand me, David.
I do trust you.
918
01:25:05,567 --> 01:25:09,128
But I cannot keep you
in the battle against Saul.
919
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,669
"Lord, what have I done?"
920
01:25:15,043 --> 01:25:18,877
You Iie Iike an Egyptian
with a stone face.
921
01:25:19,347 --> 01:25:21,907
"Am I not to be allowed
to fight against the--"
922
01:25:28,523 --> 01:25:31,584
Have those donkeys
ready to move by first Iight.
923
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:35,255
-Joab, are your men ready?
-They will be.
924
01:25:35,430 --> 01:25:39,094
Get that tent down.
What are you waiting for?
925
01:26:00,955 --> 01:26:02,582
Brother.
926
01:26:12,500 --> 01:26:14,264
Jonathan.
927
01:26:17,572 --> 01:26:19,563
You're safe here. You're safe.
928
01:26:19,741 --> 01:26:21,732
Philistines have gone to the north.
929
01:26:21,910 --> 01:26:23,400
Jonathan, why have you come?
930
01:26:24,078 --> 01:26:26,172
To see my brother.
931
01:26:27,782 --> 01:26:29,648
Before we fought
against each other.
932
01:26:29,817 --> 01:26:32,309
We won't fight against each other,
brother.
933
01:26:32,487 --> 01:26:35,855
The Philistine princes
don't trust me in the battle.
934
01:26:36,024 --> 01:26:37,549
We're on our way to Ziklag.
935
01:26:38,059 --> 01:26:40,892
Were they right, brother?
936
01:26:41,462 --> 01:26:43,430
Would you have fought
against Israel?
937
01:26:46,834 --> 01:26:50,498
Well, Yahweh is with you.
938
01:26:52,974 --> 01:26:54,635
Will you fight tomorrow?
939
01:26:56,578 --> 01:26:58,842
There are too many of them.
940
01:26:59,013 --> 01:27:02,540
The Philistine cities
are sending their thousands.
941
01:27:02,717 --> 01:27:04,344
I know.
942
01:27:04,586 --> 01:27:08,181
When the spearmen
charge tomorrow...
943
01:27:08,356 --> 01:27:10,916
...they will turn and run
as if they're frightened.
944
01:27:11,092 --> 01:27:14,084
Don't follow too closely, Jonathan.
945
01:27:14,262 --> 01:27:17,027
The chariots will be there
waiting for you behind the ridge.
946
01:27:18,399 --> 01:27:20,561
How many men have you?
947
01:27:21,402 --> 01:27:25,600
Nine thousand.
About 2000 of them...
948
01:27:25,773 --> 01:27:27,707
...sick with the running flux.
949
01:27:27,976 --> 01:27:31,810
Put your slingers up front
and try to break the first charge.
950
01:27:32,113 --> 01:27:33,706
I will.
951
01:27:34,983 --> 01:27:36,644
David...
952
01:27:38,620 --> 01:27:40,281
...you will be king over Israel.
953
01:27:40,455 --> 01:27:41,923
No.
954
01:27:42,724 --> 01:27:45,056
-No.
-My father knows that.
955
01:27:45,226 --> 01:27:46,716
You will be king.
956
01:27:46,894 --> 01:27:49,056
-No.
-He sits in his tent...
957
01:27:49,230 --> 01:27:51,927
...and waits for death.
958
01:27:53,001 --> 01:27:54,560
David...
959
01:27:55,436 --> 01:27:57,336
...when you are king...
960
01:27:57,672 --> 01:27:59,766
...do not destroy my seed.
961
01:27:59,941 --> 01:28:01,909
We made a covenant
before Yahweh.
962
01:28:02,644 --> 01:28:05,079
Do not kill my children...
963
01:28:06,214 --> 01:28:08,080
...to protect your throne.
964
01:28:11,552 --> 01:28:14,647
Yahweh is between you and me...
965
01:28:15,123 --> 01:28:20,357
...and between your seed
and my seed forever.
966
01:28:27,168 --> 01:28:28,499
Jonathan.
967
01:28:28,670 --> 01:28:30,570
Jonathan.
968
01:28:34,942 --> 01:28:36,535
David?
969
01:28:40,882 --> 01:28:42,407
Lord?
970
01:28:43,951 --> 01:28:46,079
What is it?
971
01:28:46,254 --> 01:28:49,451
We are free of the battle
against our own people.
972
01:28:49,624 --> 01:28:52,719
The Philistines will smite
your enemy...
973
01:28:52,894 --> 01:28:56,262
...and you will have no blood guilt.
974
01:29:23,925 --> 01:29:25,689
Yahweh...
975
01:29:26,961 --> 01:29:30,124
...put your hand out over Jonathan.
976
01:29:31,499 --> 01:29:33,627
And Saul.
977
01:30:46,908 --> 01:30:49,036
Saul!
978
01:30:49,844 --> 01:30:52,905
Why?
979
01:30:56,417 --> 01:30:59,182
Why?
980
01:30:59,353 --> 01:31:02,482
Why?
981
01:31:26,581 --> 01:31:29,846
Thy beauty, oh, Israel.
982
01:31:30,017 --> 01:31:33,078
Upon thy high places is slain.
983
01:31:33,287 --> 01:31:36,052
How are the mighty fallen.
984
01:31:37,225 --> 01:31:39,216
Tell it not in Gath.
985
01:31:39,393 --> 01:31:41,418
Publish it not in the streets
ofAshkelon...
986
01:31:41,596 --> 01:31:44,896
...lest the daughters
ofthe Philistines rejoice.
987
01:31:45,066 --> 01:31:47,467
Ye mountain of Gilboa...
988
01:31:47,735 --> 01:31:50,796
...let there be no dew
orrain upon you.
989
01:31:50,972 --> 01:31:53,464
Neitherfields ofchoice fruits...
990
01:31:53,641 --> 01:31:57,407
...for there the shield
ofthe mighty was vilely cast away.
991
01:31:57,578 --> 01:32:01,515
The Shield ofSaul
not anointed with oil.
992
01:32:03,117 --> 01:32:05,313
Saul and Jonathan.
993
01:32:05,486 --> 01:32:07,955
The beloved andpleasant
in theirlives.
994
01:32:08,122 --> 01:32:11,183
Even in theirdeath
they were not divided.
995
01:32:11,859 --> 01:32:14,089
They were swifter than eagles.
996
01:32:14,262 --> 01:32:17,232
They were stronger than lions.
997
01:32:18,366 --> 01:32:22,064
Ye daughters oflsrael,
weep over Saul...
998
01:32:22,236 --> 01:32:25,638
...who clothedyou in scarlet
with otherdelights.
999
01:32:25,806 --> 01:32:29,208
Who put ornaments ofgold
upon yourapparel.
1000
01:32:29,377 --> 01:32:33,143
How are the mighty fallen
in the midst ofbattle?
1001
01:32:33,314 --> 01:32:37,615
Jonathan,
upon thy high places, is slain.
1002
01:32:38,185 --> 01:32:40,779
I mourn foryou,
my brotherJonathan.
1003
01:32:40,955 --> 01:32:43,515
Verypleasant
have you been to me.
1004
01:32:43,691 --> 01:32:47,787
Wonderful was yourlove forme,
passing the love ofwomen.
1005
01:32:49,330 --> 01:32:53,961
How are the mighty fallen
and the weapons ofwarperished?
1006
01:32:54,135 --> 01:32:55,796
David.
1007
01:32:56,270 --> 01:32:58,238
David.
1008
01:32:59,206 --> 01:33:00,970
David.
1009
01:33:01,142 --> 01:33:04,840
David the King!
1010
01:33:06,547 --> 01:33:09,539
King David.
1011
01:33:12,687 --> 01:33:14,519
King!
1012
01:33:15,156 --> 01:33:17,625
David!
1013
01:33:17,792 --> 01:33:21,160
King!
1014
01:34:45,648 --> 01:34:48,515
This is David,
the young shepherd boy...
1015
01:34:48,685 --> 01:34:51,746
...immortalized by Michelangelo.
1016
01:34:51,921 --> 01:34:55,289
And this is David, the king,
come to life.
1017
01:34:55,458 --> 01:34:58,655
That is within the power of the king.
1018
01:35:00,397 --> 01:35:02,695
The story ofDavid...
1019
01:35:02,866 --> 01:35:07,702
...the second king oflsrael,
less than 3000 years ago.
1020
01:35:09,706 --> 01:35:11,902
After Saul, the first king oflsrael...
1021
01:35:12,075 --> 01:35:15,272
...and his son Jonathan
were killed by the Philistines.
1022
01:35:15,445 --> 01:35:18,881
David is king ofhis own tribe
ofJudah...
1023
01:35:19,049 --> 01:35:23,213
...but the northern tribes
still follow Saul's son, Ishvi.
1024
01:35:25,188 --> 01:35:27,987
Fighting has gone on forsix years.
1025
01:35:30,393 --> 01:35:33,090
One day, Joab, David's warchief...
1026
01:35:33,263 --> 01:35:38,167
...receives a message from Abner,
warchiefofSaul's son.
1027
01:36:11,434 --> 01:36:16,338
Joab, peace in the name of Ishvi,
son of Saul...
1028
01:36:16,506 --> 01:36:18,031
...the one king of Israel.
1029
01:36:18,208 --> 01:36:20,973
Abner, there is no peace...
1030
01:36:21,144 --> 01:36:24,409
...in the name of David,
the anointed king.
1031
01:36:24,581 --> 01:36:28,142
The chosen ruler of Judah
and all the south.
1032
01:36:33,523 --> 01:36:35,321
Anointed?
1033
01:36:36,726 --> 01:36:38,751
Is that what you call
your pretender?
1034
01:36:38,928 --> 01:36:40,794
Your King David?
1035
01:36:40,964 --> 01:36:43,433
The oil was poured on his head
by Samuel...
1036
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:45,398
...the old prophet.
1037
01:36:46,970 --> 01:36:50,201
You pour oil on an onion
before you eat it...
1038
01:36:50,373 --> 01:36:52,341
...but that doesn't make you king.
1039
01:36:52,509 --> 01:36:54,603
It was your runner
called me here to Gideon.
1040
01:36:54,777 --> 01:36:56,711
There are only 10 armed men.
1041
01:36:58,781 --> 01:37:00,875
And how many in the wadi
beyond the village?
1042
01:37:01,050 --> 01:37:03,485
No more than you have
behind the rocks on that ridge.
1043
01:37:05,088 --> 01:37:07,113
Did you call me here to talk
or to fight?
1044
01:37:07,724 --> 01:37:10,785
Joab, you and I know it takes more
than a prophet's horn of oil...
1045
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:12,052
...to make a king.
1046
01:37:12,228 --> 01:37:16,790
Now, we know that
it takes spear points and politics...
1047
01:37:17,167 --> 01:37:19,067
...and Iies.
1048
01:37:19,636 --> 01:37:21,900
David and Ishvi...
1049
01:37:22,405 --> 01:37:25,170
...they've been fighting each other
since the old king died.
1050
01:37:25,341 --> 01:37:28,800
-Are you tired, old man?
-Yes.
1051
01:37:28,978 --> 01:37:30,878
When Saul was alive,
there was one king...
1052
01:37:31,047 --> 01:37:32,242
...over Judah and Israel.
1053
01:37:32,415 --> 01:37:33,814
And you were his war chief.
1054
01:37:33,983 --> 01:37:37,385
That why you hauled his gutless son
to Gideon, stuffed him with straw...
1055
01:37:37,554 --> 01:37:40,489
...and propped him up with your spear
to keep him from falling?
1056
01:37:40,657 --> 01:37:42,625
Ishvi is a son of Saul.
1057
01:37:42,792 --> 01:37:45,955
If you've something to say, say it.
They won't keep a truce for Iong.
1058
01:37:51,034 --> 01:37:53,833
We'II all be fighting before high sun.
1059
01:37:54,003 --> 01:37:56,335
They have been for six years.
1060
01:37:56,506 --> 01:37:59,669
Abner. In time, David will win...
1061
01:38:00,276 --> 01:38:03,974
...and he will hang Ishvi's body
on the wall at Hebron.
1062
01:38:04,147 --> 01:38:06,309
Maybe, in time.
1063
01:38:06,482 --> 01:38:09,315
But now it is we
who have the northern tribes.
1064
01:38:09,485 --> 01:38:11,351
Who knows who will hang...
1065
01:38:11,521 --> 01:38:12,818
...on whose wall.
1066
01:38:17,827 --> 01:38:19,795
Joab, brother.
1067
01:39:10,346 --> 01:39:11,711
Abner.
1068
01:39:18,721 --> 01:39:20,621
Now Iisten...
1069
01:39:20,790 --> 01:39:22,952
...Asahel...
1070
01:39:23,126 --> 01:39:24,594
...brother of Joab.
1071
01:39:31,334 --> 01:39:33,701
Fight someone else.
1072
01:39:36,773 --> 01:39:39,003
Take someone else's armor.
1073
01:39:43,746 --> 01:39:45,874
Now, turn away.
1074
01:39:46,049 --> 01:39:48,108
I want no blood feud with Joab.
1075
01:41:35,491 --> 01:41:36,549
My son.
1076
01:41:41,798 --> 01:41:43,323
My son.
1077
01:41:43,499 --> 01:41:45,331
Oh, whose child is this?
1078
01:41:45,501 --> 01:41:46,866
Mine, Iord.
1079
01:41:47,036 --> 01:41:48,526
Oh, yes, Adonijah.
1080
01:41:48,704 --> 01:41:52,641
-Ephraim, Iord.
-Adonijah is my son, Iord.
1081
01:41:52,809 --> 01:41:54,573
Oh, yes. Of course.
1082
01:42:04,587 --> 01:42:08,922
Lord, this is your first-born son,
Amnon, remember?
1083
01:42:14,163 --> 01:42:17,030
Get up, fool. It's the king.
1084
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:21,694
-Sit. How far did you run?
-The village of Karesh in Benjamin.
1085
01:42:21,871 --> 01:42:24,135
-Do you have a scroll?
-No, Iord. The war chief...
1086
01:42:24,307 --> 01:42:26,969
...told me the message and
made me say it three times.
1087
01:42:27,143 --> 01:42:30,704
From Abner, son of Ner,
to David, son of Jesse at Hebron...
1088
01:42:30,880 --> 01:42:32,678
...whose is the Iand.
1089
01:42:32,849 --> 01:42:34,317
Make your alliance with me.
1090
01:42:35,551 --> 01:42:38,782
I can bring all Israel
and the north with me.
1091
01:42:38,988 --> 01:42:41,480
-Is that all?
-Yes, Iord.
1092
01:42:41,657 --> 01:42:44,422
I can say it again word for word.
1093
01:42:44,594 --> 01:42:48,428
Why would he break
with Ishvi now?
1094
01:42:48,598 --> 01:42:51,090
You can't trust him.
1095
01:42:52,568 --> 01:42:54,058
Those are Abner's words.
1096
01:42:54,237 --> 01:42:56,638
But there's always a message
hidden under a message.
1097
01:42:56,806 --> 01:43:00,572
You remember a woman Saul had,
Rizpah, the concubine?
1098
01:43:00,743 --> 01:43:02,438
So did Abner, and he took her.
1099
01:43:02,612 --> 01:43:04,808
Lord, everyone knows
the women of a dead king...
1100
01:43:04,981 --> 01:43:06,642
...belong to his successor.
1101
01:43:06,816 --> 01:43:10,252
Ishvi scolded Abner
Iike a small boy for stealing a cheese.
1102
01:43:10,419 --> 01:43:11,887
Ishvi is a fool.
1103
01:43:12,054 --> 01:43:15,615
But now, Abner,
he's an empty wine skin.
1104
01:43:15,791 --> 01:43:17,486
I heard the war chief shout.
1105
01:43:17,660 --> 01:43:20,254
He swore to Yahweh
he would pull down the house of Saul.
1106
01:43:20,429 --> 01:43:23,956
And set up the throne of David
from Dan to Beersheba.
1107
01:43:24,133 --> 01:43:25,601
It's too simple.
1108
01:43:25,768 --> 01:43:27,202
What will he want from you?
1109
01:43:27,370 --> 01:43:31,204
The question is,
what do I demand of Abner?
1110
01:43:31,374 --> 01:43:35,333
If I offer him anything,
he'II think I need him.
1111
01:43:37,480 --> 01:43:39,278
Tell Abner I will meet him.
1112
01:43:39,448 --> 01:43:41,542
But before I see his face...
1113
01:43:41,717 --> 01:43:44,778
...he must bring me Michal,
daughter of Saul.
1114
01:43:44,954 --> 01:43:47,946
David, Saul gave her
to another man...
1115
01:43:48,124 --> 01:43:50,991
-...you can't--
-Do you understand?
1116
01:43:51,494 --> 01:43:54,156
Say it back to me three times.
1117
01:43:54,363 --> 01:43:59,096
I want Michal, daughter of Saul...
1118
01:43:59,435 --> 01:44:01,836
...who is my wife.
1119
01:44:02,004 --> 01:44:05,668
No, there is a mistake.
You do not understand.
1120
01:44:05,841 --> 01:44:07,605
Why do you bring soldiers
to my house?
1121
01:44:07,777 --> 01:44:10,712
-What have we got to do with soldiers?
-Are you ready, Michal...
1122
01:44:11,247 --> 01:44:14,581
...daughter of Saul,
wife of David of Judah?
1123
01:44:14,750 --> 01:44:16,775
No, that's not right...
1124
01:44:16,953 --> 01:44:18,045
...that was all changed.
1125
01:44:18,220 --> 01:44:20,917
She was given to me by Saul,
by the king.
1126
01:44:21,090 --> 01:44:22,854
Paltiel, please.
1127
01:44:23,025 --> 01:44:25,926
No. No, Iet me explain.
1128
01:44:26,095 --> 01:44:28,359
It's a simple mistake.
1129
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:35,528
She was the wife of David,
but we are married now for years.
1130
01:44:35,705 --> 01:44:38,572
Michal, the wife of Paltiel.
1131
01:44:38,741 --> 01:44:42,371
If there's anything you want to take,
I have pack donkeys.
1132
01:44:44,580 --> 01:44:46,139
Abner...
1133
01:44:46,315 --> 01:44:49,717
...my father's war chief,
he wants me?
1134
01:44:54,724 --> 01:44:57,694
He was a beautiful man,
his hair was red.
1135
01:44:57,860 --> 01:44:58,952
Is it still red?
1136
01:44:59,528 --> 01:45:01,622
They say so. I haven't seen him.
1137
01:45:01,797 --> 01:45:03,891
I was 14.
1138
01:45:04,266 --> 01:45:06,030
I Ioved him.
1139
01:45:07,236 --> 01:45:11,434
And I Ioved my father
and my brother Jonathan...
1140
01:45:12,241 --> 01:45:14,209
...and they are dead.
1141
01:45:15,611 --> 01:45:17,136
War chief...
1142
01:45:17,313 --> 01:45:20,908
...it's very hard to remember
how a girl Ioves when she is 14...
1143
01:45:21,083 --> 01:45:24,986
...when she's Iived
as another man's wife all these years.
1144
01:45:25,655 --> 01:45:27,180
Abner...
1145
01:45:27,356 --> 01:45:29,882
...why does he want Michal?
1146
01:45:30,059 --> 01:45:31,959
The wife of Paltiel?
1147
01:45:32,128 --> 01:45:34,654
No, he wants the daughter of Saul.
1148
01:45:36,465 --> 01:45:39,594
When we were married, I wondered,
"Why does he Iove me?"
1149
01:45:40,336 --> 01:45:42,236
I thought it was for my eyes.
1150
01:45:43,172 --> 01:45:46,267
-Which were bright, weren't they?
-Yes.
1151
01:45:46,942 --> 01:45:49,377
Now my eyes are not so bright.
1152
01:45:49,545 --> 01:45:53,641
They've seen 5000 days
and nights in my husband's house.
1153
01:45:56,752 --> 01:45:59,585
There is still one thing Ieft
David can Iove.
1154
01:45:59,755 --> 01:46:02,122
I am still the daughter of Saul...
1155
01:46:02,291 --> 01:46:04,419
...who was king of all the tribes
of Israel.
1156
01:46:04,994 --> 01:46:06,621
Abner...
1157
01:46:10,466 --> 01:46:12,662
...you cannot send her to him.
1158
01:46:13,836 --> 01:46:15,600
Michal...
1159
01:46:15,771 --> 01:46:18,331
...David is king in Hebron...
1160
01:46:18,507 --> 01:46:24,640
...and if he and I come to a bargain,
he'II be king of all Israel...
1161
01:46:24,814 --> 01:46:29,047
...and you will be the first wife
of a king.
1162
01:46:29,218 --> 01:46:31,710
I am already the daughter
of a king...
1163
01:46:31,887 --> 01:46:34,379
...and it's not done much for me.
1164
01:46:37,727 --> 01:46:39,718
Michal!
1165
01:47:09,191 --> 01:47:10,818
Stay!
1166
01:47:24,373 --> 01:47:28,332
You remember, David, the first time
that I took you to Saul's room?
1167
01:47:28,878 --> 01:47:30,744
Do you remember what you said?
1168
01:47:30,913 --> 01:47:36,283
You said, "Lord, there is a goat
that my father sent as an offering."
1169
01:47:36,452 --> 01:47:38,284
And you said, "Saul has a goat."
1170
01:47:40,556 --> 01:47:42,251
Were you afraid of Saul, David?
1171
01:47:42,424 --> 01:47:46,054
I was a shepherd, he was a king.
1172
01:47:47,963 --> 01:47:51,365
And Yahweh's sickness was upon
him when his eyes burned.
1173
01:47:52,968 --> 01:47:54,367
Yes.
1174
01:47:55,371 --> 01:47:56,896
And when you played for him...
1175
01:47:57,072 --> 01:48:01,236
...Iike a man falling asleep
in the arms of an Egyptian whore.
1176
01:48:02,111 --> 01:48:06,014
You will not fear
1177
01:48:06,182 --> 01:48:10,585
The terrors ofnight
1178
01:48:10,986 --> 01:48:16,425
Nor the arrows that fly by day
1179
01:48:16,592 --> 01:48:21,621
Nor the plague ofdarkness
1180
01:48:22,965 --> 01:48:26,833
Nor the blight
1181
01:48:27,002 --> 01:48:33,738
That waits at noonday
1182
01:48:34,777 --> 01:48:36,745
Yes.
1183
01:48:37,980 --> 01:48:41,939
It was high sun when the Philistines
found Saul...
1184
01:48:42,117 --> 01:48:44,882
...with his own sword in his belly...
1185
01:48:45,187 --> 01:48:47,451
...and cut off his head.
1186
01:48:48,257 --> 01:48:50,589
You're a friend, Akish.
1187
01:48:52,828 --> 01:48:56,128
My hand was never raised
against Saul.
1188
01:48:58,000 --> 01:48:59,024
I Ioved him.
1189
01:48:59,201 --> 01:49:00,930
And I was his war chief...
1190
01:49:01,103 --> 01:49:03,071
...and here we are alive.
1191
01:49:03,239 --> 01:49:05,071
You planning to take Saul's throne...
1192
01:49:05,241 --> 01:49:08,302
...me to help you
by betraying his Iast son.
1193
01:49:11,780 --> 01:49:14,681
Saul, Iaugh with us.
1194
01:49:17,519 --> 01:49:19,988
King, Iive forever.
1195
01:49:20,756 --> 01:49:22,656
Have you spoken to the elders
of Benjamin?
1196
01:49:28,097 --> 01:49:29,997
Will they recognize me as king?
1197
01:49:30,833 --> 01:49:32,733
David.
1198
01:49:34,303 --> 01:49:35,998
King.
1199
01:49:36,171 --> 01:49:39,072
I brought you Michal,
the daughter of Saul...
1200
01:49:39,241 --> 01:49:42,541
...now you want me to bring you
the elders of Benjamin?
1201
01:49:42,711 --> 01:49:46,147
The powers of Ephraim
and all of Israel in the north?
1202
01:49:46,315 --> 01:49:47,805
And what am I receiving?
1203
01:49:47,983 --> 01:49:50,418
Just a piece of old roast goat.
1204
01:49:50,586 --> 01:49:52,850
What do you want to go
with your meat, Abner?
1205
01:49:54,456 --> 01:49:58,620
There be one king
and one power and an army...
1206
01:49:59,528 --> 01:50:00,552
...and a war chief.
1207
01:50:01,630 --> 01:50:03,894
I have Joab, son of my sister.
1208
01:50:04,066 --> 01:50:06,262
He's a good man
for fighting in the mountains...
1209
01:50:06,435 --> 01:50:09,029
...stealing geese from farms.
1210
01:50:10,005 --> 01:50:12,770
What can he say to the elders
of Asher and Benjamin...
1211
01:50:12,942 --> 01:50:16,742
...about Ieaving the House of Saul
for a David?
1212
01:50:16,912 --> 01:50:20,576
You need me, David, son of Jesse...
1213
01:50:20,749 --> 01:50:23,241
...king in Judah only.
1214
01:50:28,290 --> 01:50:30,452
Take a meat, Abner...
1215
01:50:31,193 --> 01:50:34,424
...we'II find some spice to go with it.
1216
01:50:52,348 --> 01:50:54,476
Abner is here.
1217
01:50:54,650 --> 01:50:58,518
Abner. With my brother's blood
on his head...
1218
01:50:58,687 --> 01:51:01,884
...and you Iet him go in peace?
1219
01:51:02,057 --> 01:51:03,616
You fed him...
1220
01:51:03,792 --> 01:51:06,090
...with roast meat and oil and honey...
1221
01:51:06,261 --> 01:51:09,060
-...and you Iet him go in peace.
-Joab.
1222
01:51:09,231 --> 01:51:12,098
You Iet Abner come into your house
and count your men...
1223
01:51:12,267 --> 01:51:15,134
...see how the gates are built
and where the walls are weak...
1224
01:51:15,304 --> 01:51:18,501
...and you Iet him go in peace.
1225
01:51:18,674 --> 01:51:22,338
Uncle, you are a fool.
1226
01:51:27,449 --> 01:51:29,747
Abner was Saul's war chief...
1227
01:51:29,918 --> 01:51:32,751
...without him, Ishvi is no king.
1228
01:51:32,921 --> 01:51:34,582
He's a gelded sheep.
1229
01:51:34,757 --> 01:51:38,990
I need Abner. The tribes of Benjamin
and Ephraim follow him.
1230
01:51:39,161 --> 01:51:42,222
He can bring me
the whole of the north.
1231
01:51:44,066 --> 01:51:47,092
And he is to go in peace.
1232
01:51:58,313 --> 01:52:01,442
Well, what did he say, brother?
1233
01:52:06,822 --> 01:52:09,154
Send a runner north to the well
at Borsora...
1234
01:52:09,324 --> 01:52:11,725
...where Abner will camp
for the night.
1235
01:52:12,594 --> 01:52:15,188
The king wants him to return here.
1236
01:52:46,895 --> 01:52:49,023
Wait. My men are outside.
1237
01:53:18,427 --> 01:53:23,991
I had them.
After six years, I had them all.
1238
01:53:24,166 --> 01:53:30,196
The elders of Benjamin, Ephraim,
Asher, Jesuit, Judah. I had them all.
1239
01:53:30,639 --> 01:53:36,942
And you. You stupid bloody fool.
You murdered him.
1240
01:53:37,112 --> 01:53:41,709
You sent for him in my name
and you murdered him.
1241
01:53:41,884 --> 01:53:43,750
And who will believe
it was not my order?
1242
01:53:43,919 --> 01:53:45,819
AII the tribes in the north will say...
1243
01:53:45,988 --> 01:53:49,618
...that David brought Abner
to his house...
1244
01:53:49,791 --> 01:53:54,228
...gave him bread and salt
and butchered him Iike an ox.
1245
01:53:54,930 --> 01:54:00,699
And they will go to Ishvi again
and they will call him king.
1246
01:54:00,869 --> 01:54:02,928
My enemies I can fight...
1247
01:54:03,105 --> 01:54:08,407
...but when my servants
are bloody stupid fools...
1248
01:54:08,644 --> 01:54:11,545
My brother, Asahel's blood
cried out against Abner.
1249
01:54:11,713 --> 01:54:15,206
-I had the blood right--
-You?
1250
01:54:15,684 --> 01:54:18,813
Abner's blood will drown me.
1251
01:54:18,987 --> 01:54:21,388
David's name will stink
in the nose of Israel...
1252
01:54:21,557 --> 01:54:24,959
...Iike a dog dead in the sun
for three days.
1253
01:54:25,260 --> 01:54:29,060
There would've been one king
over all Yahweh's people...
1254
01:54:29,231 --> 01:54:31,359
...from Dan to Beersheba...
1255
01:54:31,533 --> 01:54:34,298
...without war, without fighting.
1256
01:54:35,904 --> 01:54:38,965
What blood will be spilled
on the ground now?
1257
01:54:44,713 --> 01:54:48,172
What bloodguilt
will you have, Joab?
1258
01:54:48,717 --> 01:54:52,779
Yahweh will call for a Iife
to pay for Abner's Iife.
1259
01:54:52,955 --> 01:54:55,822
A butcher must be butchered...
1260
01:54:55,991 --> 01:54:59,450
...and the people will know
that I had no part of this.
1261
01:55:05,534 --> 01:55:08,629
King, I am your servant.
1262
01:55:08,804 --> 01:55:10,738
Kill me.
1263
01:55:10,906 --> 01:55:12,203
I have killed for you.
1264
01:55:13,075 --> 01:55:14,406
When Saul hunted you...
1265
01:55:14,576 --> 01:55:17,238
...when you fought in the army
of Achish the Philistine...
1266
01:55:17,412 --> 01:55:19,710
...I killed for you.
1267
01:55:21,817 --> 01:55:25,776
For six years, I killed the men of Abner
sent after you...
1268
01:55:25,954 --> 01:55:28,355
...in the name of Ishvi.
1269
01:55:29,291 --> 01:55:32,317
I made you an army...
1270
01:55:32,494 --> 01:55:35,088
...that brought you from the wilderness
here to Hebron.
1271
01:55:35,264 --> 01:55:40,134
The tribe of Benjamin and Ephraim
and Asher followed Abner...
1272
01:55:40,669 --> 01:55:43,070
...but your army...
1273
01:55:43,238 --> 01:55:46,003
...follows Joab.
1274
01:55:46,541 --> 01:55:48,373
But...
1275
01:55:48,543 --> 01:55:52,275
...if Yahweh calls for my death...
1276
01:55:52,748 --> 01:55:53,772
...kill me.
1277
01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:00,615
Joab...
1278
01:56:01,356 --> 01:56:04,656
...when Abner's body is washed...
1279
01:56:04,826 --> 01:56:10,526
...when it is carried to the burial cave,
you and your people...
1280
01:56:10,699 --> 01:56:13,896
...will tear your clothes
and gash your face.
1281
01:56:14,069 --> 01:56:17,699
And you will follow his body...
1282
01:56:17,873 --> 01:56:21,707
...howling and wailing
Iike pregnant widows.
1283
01:56:21,877 --> 01:56:26,041
No! Wrong, David.
He was my blood enemy.
1284
01:56:26,214 --> 01:56:28,740
Listen to me, son of my sister!
1285
01:56:28,917 --> 01:56:32,046
I need you and your army.
1286
01:56:32,954 --> 01:56:34,786
Ishvi will fall.
1287
01:56:34,956 --> 01:56:39,154
I must take the walled cities
one by one.
1288
01:56:39,328 --> 01:56:42,389
I want the Jebusite town of
Jerusalem for my own city...
1289
01:56:42,564 --> 01:56:45,727
...because it stands on neutral ground
between north and south.
1290
01:56:45,901 --> 01:56:50,304
AII this I have planned
but you, you blundering stupid fool.
1291
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:53,467
Now...
1292
01:56:53,742 --> 01:56:55,437
...follow Abner's body...
1293
01:56:55,610 --> 01:56:58,136
...or follow Abner.
1294
01:57:24,439 --> 01:57:26,168
Listen to me...
1295
01:57:26,341 --> 01:57:29,470
...people of Israel and Judah.
1296
01:57:30,178 --> 01:57:32,044
I am David...
1297
01:57:32,347 --> 01:57:33,815
...king.
1298
01:57:34,916 --> 01:57:36,907
Before Yahweh...
1299
01:57:37,619 --> 01:57:39,519
...I swear...
1300
01:57:39,821 --> 01:57:45,021
...I had no part in the blood of Abner,
son of Ner.
1301
01:57:45,193 --> 01:57:47,662
Let the blood fall on Joab.
1302
01:57:49,231 --> 01:57:50,995
Yahweh's curse is on his house.
1303
01:57:51,166 --> 01:57:54,363
-Stone him.
-Stone him.
1304
01:57:54,536 --> 01:57:56,800
PIease, don't.
1305
01:57:56,972 --> 01:58:01,205
Let the Lord
punish the crime of Joab.
1306
01:58:03,678 --> 01:58:06,238
I turn my face from him.
1307
01:58:06,415 --> 01:58:08,474
He's war chief of my army no more.
1308
01:58:08,650 --> 01:58:10,550
So that the people may know...
1309
01:58:10,719 --> 01:58:12,619
...that David, king...
1310
01:58:12,788 --> 01:58:15,155
...had no part in the killing
of Abner...
1311
01:58:15,323 --> 01:58:17,121
...son of Ner.
1312
01:58:43,919 --> 01:58:45,478
There.
1313
01:58:45,954 --> 01:58:48,514
Behind the brush. Stay down.
1314
01:58:48,690 --> 01:58:51,421
They have sharp eyes
on the city wall.
1315
01:58:53,562 --> 01:58:55,690
Joab, why take the risk?
1316
01:58:55,864 --> 01:58:58,458
David made you eat dirt
before Abner's body.
1317
01:58:58,633 --> 01:59:00,499
But I'II spit it out.
1318
01:59:00,669 --> 01:59:02,159
I know David.
1319
01:59:02,337 --> 01:59:05,602
If I give him the city
of the Jebusites up there...
1320
01:59:05,774 --> 01:59:07,242
...I'II be his war chief again.
1321
01:59:07,409 --> 01:59:10,401
He swore he would never turn
his face to you.
1322
01:59:10,645 --> 01:59:13,239
He never will turn his face to me...
1323
01:59:13,415 --> 01:59:15,076
...until he needs me.
1324
01:59:15,250 --> 01:59:17,309
And then he will make a song
which says...
1325
01:59:17,486 --> 01:59:20,854
...he swore to make the man
who took this city his commander...
1326
01:59:21,022 --> 01:59:23,081
...then everybody will sing
and believe it...
1327
01:59:23,258 --> 01:59:25,659
...and David will believe
his own song.
1328
01:59:25,827 --> 01:59:30,060
Because the truth for a king
is what he needs.
1329
01:59:30,232 --> 01:59:32,894
And David needs Jerusalem.
1330
01:59:33,568 --> 01:59:35,866
Are you sure the tunnel
Ieads all the way?
1331
01:59:36,037 --> 01:59:37,698
Last night, I crawled up the shaft.
1332
01:59:37,873 --> 01:59:39,534
It goes through the mountain...
1333
01:59:39,708 --> 01:59:41,233
...rising about 400 cubits...
1334
01:59:41,409 --> 01:59:43,935
...to the water pool
then straight up the well shaft...
1335
01:59:45,080 --> 01:59:47,572
...to just inside the walls
of the city...
1336
01:59:47,749 --> 01:59:50,514
...no more than 20 cubits
from the caravan gate.
1337
01:59:50,685 --> 01:59:53,052
You make it sound easy, brother.
1338
01:59:53,221 --> 01:59:54,245
What about the men?
1339
01:59:54,422 --> 01:59:56,220
Take them
to below the caravan gate.
1340
01:59:56,391 --> 01:59:58,826
I'II open it from the inside.
1341
02:00:42,070 --> 02:00:44,437
David, king...
1342
02:00:44,606 --> 02:00:47,439
...the city is yours.
1343
02:00:47,609 --> 02:00:53,844
Jerusalem, the fortress.
David's city.
1344
02:01:15,604 --> 02:01:19,063
David, rejoice in the eyes
of Yahweh!
1345
02:01:20,008 --> 02:01:23,638
David the king,
in the eyes of Yahweh!
1346
02:01:23,812 --> 02:01:24,836
Rejoice.
1347
02:01:25,013 --> 02:01:28,881
David, king in the eyes of Yahweh
and Jerusalem.
1348
02:02:53,935 --> 02:02:55,164
CIap your hands...
1349
02:02:55,336 --> 02:02:56,895
...all you people.
1350
02:02:57,072 --> 02:03:01,839
Shout to on high,
in the voice of God.
1351
02:03:50,725 --> 02:03:54,491
This is the bread blessed
by Yahweh's priest of yam.
1352
02:03:54,662 --> 02:03:56,653
I brought it to you.
1353
02:03:56,831 --> 02:03:59,528
Give it to one of your own wives...
1354
02:03:59,701 --> 02:04:01,362
...great king.
1355
02:04:01,870 --> 02:04:04,066
Michal, I chose you...
1356
02:04:04,239 --> 02:04:06,367
...because this is a night of blessing.
1357
02:04:06,541 --> 02:04:09,636
Tonight, my enemies seem far away.
1358
02:04:10,979 --> 02:04:13,141
I wanted to remember...
1359
02:04:13,982 --> 02:04:16,952
...Saul, your father...
1360
02:04:17,452 --> 02:04:19,784
...and Jonathan, your brother.
1361
02:04:23,358 --> 02:04:26,794
Do you remember
how you and I and Jonathan...
1362
02:04:26,961 --> 02:04:30,522
...would sit in the cool of the dark
on the roof.
1363
02:04:30,698 --> 02:04:32,928
I would Iook at you
and we'd smile secretly...
1364
02:04:33,101 --> 02:04:35,866
...because we Ioved Jonathan...
1365
02:04:36,037 --> 02:04:39,007
...but if only he would grow tired
and go to bed...
1366
02:04:40,074 --> 02:04:42,304
...then we could go to bed.
1367
02:04:43,411 --> 02:04:45,675
My brother Jonathan is dead.
1368
02:04:46,347 --> 02:04:48,645
Saul is dead.
1369
02:04:49,050 --> 02:04:51,075
I still mourn for him.
1370
02:04:51,686 --> 02:04:53,415
And for Jonathan.
1371
02:04:53,988 --> 02:04:56,116
I tore my clothes.
1372
02:04:56,291 --> 02:04:58,316
I made a death song for them.
1373
02:04:58,493 --> 02:04:59,983
But you are alive...
1374
02:05:00,161 --> 02:05:02,596
...and you sit in my father's place.
1375
02:05:02,764 --> 02:05:06,200
And you took me from my husband
as a sign for Israel.
1376
02:05:06,367 --> 02:05:07,926
"See, David is Iegitimate.
1377
02:05:08,503 --> 02:05:10,665
He has the daughter of Saul."
1378
02:05:14,709 --> 02:05:16,507
Michal.
1379
02:05:19,981 --> 02:05:22,609
When we were young,
we Ioved one another.
1380
02:05:22,784 --> 02:05:24,479
Michal.
1381
02:05:25,753 --> 02:05:28,347
AII Israel is at peace.
1382
02:05:29,824 --> 02:05:31,553
Today, I--
1383
02:05:31,726 --> 02:05:35,060
I put the Ark of the Covenant
into my city...
1384
02:05:35,630 --> 02:05:37,621
...and Yahweh blessed me
with honor.
1385
02:05:37,799 --> 02:05:39,130
What honor?
1386
02:05:39,300 --> 02:05:42,429
I saw you today jumping
before the people Iike a slave girl.
1387
02:05:42,604 --> 02:05:43,969
Is that honor?
1388
02:05:44,138 --> 02:05:46,505
Uncovering yourself
before the women.
1389
02:05:46,674 --> 02:05:49,166
Robes flapping,
showing your root and your buttock...
1390
02:05:49,344 --> 02:05:51,210
...Iike a priest of Sodom.
1391
02:05:51,379 --> 02:05:53,973
My father was not a king Iike that.
1392
02:05:54,148 --> 02:05:56,515
Saul was a man.
1393
02:05:58,286 --> 02:06:02,484
If I uncovered myself,
it was before my God, Yahweh...
1394
02:06:02,690 --> 02:06:04,215
...who chose me...
1395
02:06:04,392 --> 02:06:08,954
...over your father
and all his house to rule Israel.
1396
02:06:09,230 --> 02:06:11,699
And if Yahweh calls me...
1397
02:06:12,100 --> 02:06:14,865
...I will be more vile than that
in your eyes.
1398
02:06:20,975 --> 02:06:22,773
Michal.
1399
02:06:25,046 --> 02:06:26,980
Your eyes are Iike Jonathan's.
1400
02:06:27,148 --> 02:06:28,809
Let me go.
1401
02:06:28,983 --> 02:06:31,645
There are too many years
between us.
1402
02:06:32,320 --> 02:06:35,051
David, Iet me go back
to my husband Paltiel.
1403
02:06:35,223 --> 02:06:36,657
He wept for me.
1404
02:06:36,824 --> 02:06:38,189
No.
1405
02:06:40,194 --> 02:06:42,595
A king cannot Iet anything go
that is his.
1406
02:06:44,265 --> 02:06:46,427
You have no heart.
1407
02:06:46,734 --> 02:06:48,702
When you were young,
you could Iove.
1408
02:06:48,870 --> 02:06:51,396
Can you Iove anyone now, David?
1409
02:06:51,572 --> 02:06:53,165
You can conquer.
1410
02:06:53,341 --> 02:06:56,003
You can rut among
the women Iike a randy goat.
1411
02:06:56,177 --> 02:06:58,771
But can you Iove?
1412
02:07:04,519 --> 02:07:08,183
Well. Here am I.
1413
02:07:09,457 --> 02:07:11,619
I am the king's.
1414
02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:14,455
But if we have a son...
1415
02:07:14,629 --> 02:07:16,859
...remember,
he will have the blood of Saul.
1416
02:07:17,031 --> 02:07:19,796
Will you not be afraid
he'II turn out to be another David...
1417
02:07:19,968 --> 02:07:21,993
...to your Saul?
1418
02:07:33,147 --> 02:07:34,740
Now...
1419
02:07:35,416 --> 02:07:37,646
...you are the wife of the king...
1420
02:07:40,655 --> 02:07:42,248
...but you will have no more sons.
1421
02:08:38,246 --> 02:08:40,180
Are you there?
1422
02:08:41,082 --> 02:08:43,210
With those stones...
1423
02:08:43,618 --> 02:08:45,985
...the Iaws you gave to Moses...
1424
02:08:46,154 --> 02:08:48,919
...that our people carried
into Canaan...
1425
02:08:49,090 --> 02:08:50,819
...to battle.
1426
02:08:51,492 --> 02:08:54,223
Hark, Yahweh.
1427
02:09:00,168 --> 02:09:01,795
Yahweh...
1428
02:09:03,004 --> 02:09:06,338
...you brought me
to this mountain top.
1429
02:09:06,707 --> 02:09:10,109
You took me from my father's.
1430
02:09:10,611 --> 02:09:15,242
To Saul, to Jonathan and to Michal.
1431
02:09:17,285 --> 02:09:19,515
It is now Iost to me.
1432
02:09:21,456 --> 02:09:23,823
So many are dead...
1433
02:09:24,459 --> 02:09:26,154
...and I Iive...
1434
02:09:26,761 --> 02:09:28,820
...and I am king.
1435
02:09:29,997 --> 02:09:31,761
Why?
1436
02:09:35,503 --> 02:09:37,096
Yahweh...
1437
02:09:38,406 --> 02:09:40,306
...they came to me...
1438
02:09:41,075 --> 02:09:44,909
...and they said you must not Ieave
one of the seed of Saul alive...
1439
02:09:45,079 --> 02:09:46,103
...as a danger to you.
1440
02:09:46,280 --> 02:09:48,271
Now, that is said,
any fool knows that.
1441
02:09:48,916 --> 02:09:53,547
They brought before me a boy,
Jonathan's son...
1442
02:09:53,721 --> 02:09:56,281
...who was crippled in both feet.
1443
02:09:57,024 --> 02:10:01,325
And he was sure he would die
after the custom of all nations.
1444
02:10:01,496 --> 02:10:03,521
But I Iooked at him...
1445
02:10:05,299 --> 02:10:08,234
...and I saw the face of Jonathan.
1446
02:10:10,204 --> 02:10:12,002
And I raised him up...
1447
02:10:12,173 --> 02:10:14,505
...and sat him beside me...
1448
02:10:14,675 --> 02:10:18,134
...and I restored the Iands of Saul
to him.
1449
02:10:19,447 --> 02:10:22,439
Now, why did I do that?
1450
02:10:24,185 --> 02:10:26,381
No king from Egypt
to the Iand of Hazor...
1451
02:10:26,554 --> 02:10:28,147
...would've done it.
1452
02:10:28,890 --> 02:10:30,984
Tell me, Yahweh...
1453
02:10:31,159 --> 02:10:32,786
...which is David?
1454
02:10:32,960 --> 02:10:36,658
The warrior who wades
in the blood of his enemy...
1455
02:10:36,831 --> 02:10:40,859
...or the fool who weeps
because he sees Jonathan's eyes...
1456
02:10:41,035 --> 02:10:43,265
...in a crippled boy?
1457
02:10:45,573 --> 02:10:47,871
Yahweh, to be king...
1458
02:10:48,042 --> 02:10:50,704
...to see the blood of your enemy...
1459
02:10:52,813 --> 02:10:54,474
...empty.
1460
02:10:57,451 --> 02:10:59,283
What is it that I search for?
1461
02:10:59,453 --> 02:11:02,320
And I play the same phrase
over and over...
1462
02:11:02,490 --> 02:11:07,792
...and I know that somewhere
there is music that is more beautiful.
1463
02:11:08,829 --> 02:11:11,890
Who am I, Lord...
1464
02:11:12,066 --> 02:11:15,798
...that you have brought me
thus far?
1465
02:11:16,270 --> 02:11:18,796
You know my soul, Lord.
1466
02:11:19,040 --> 02:11:21,475
Be a father to me.
1467
02:11:21,642 --> 02:11:22,871
If I'm weak...
1468
02:11:23,044 --> 02:11:24,637
...if I sin...
1469
02:11:24,812 --> 02:11:29,306
...Iet my enemies work your punishment
upon me in the ways of men.
1470
02:11:29,784 --> 02:11:31,115
Lord.
1471
02:11:31,285 --> 02:11:33,811
Yahweh. God.
1472
02:11:34,422 --> 02:11:37,119
Do not take your mercy
from me and my house...
1473
02:11:37,291 --> 02:11:40,056
...as you did from the house of Saul.
1474
02:11:41,062 --> 02:11:44,430
Let me not fear for my sons.
1475
02:11:45,433 --> 02:11:47,333
Yahweh...
1476
02:11:47,835 --> 02:11:51,066
...Iet the House of David...
1477
02:11:51,239 --> 02:11:53,037
...servant...
1478
02:11:53,975 --> 02:11:56,740
...be blest forever.
1479
02:12:04,151 --> 02:12:06,142
Now we are writing down
the holy words...
1480
02:12:06,821 --> 02:12:08,687
...in the way of the Phoenicians.
1481
02:12:09,790 --> 02:12:11,349
Here.
1482
02:12:13,261 --> 02:12:15,787
What have you written today,
Seriah?
1483
02:12:18,699 --> 02:12:22,067
When Kenan was 70 years old,
he begot Mahalalel.
1484
02:12:22,236 --> 02:12:23,897
After the birth of Mahalalel...
1485
02:12:24,071 --> 02:12:26,233
...Kenan Iived 840 years...
1486
02:12:26,407 --> 02:12:28,000
-...and begot--
-Scribe.
1487
02:12:28,175 --> 02:12:31,907
We will run out of sheep
for skins to write your begettings.
1488
02:12:32,079 --> 02:12:34,138
But, Lord,
we must show the people...
1489
02:12:34,315 --> 02:12:37,649
...that the House of David
is blessed through Yahweh...
1490
02:12:37,818 --> 02:12:42,779
...and in a Iegitimate Iine,
from Abraham, who begot Isaac...
1491
02:12:42,957 --> 02:12:45,085
...who begot Jacob, who beg--
1492
02:12:45,259 --> 02:12:47,091
Scribes.
1493
02:12:47,995 --> 02:12:50,794
When I was a boy
in my father's house...
1494
02:12:50,965 --> 02:12:54,924
...and the old men of the tribe
chanted the holy stories...
1495
02:12:55,102 --> 02:12:59,403
...and beat us with sticks
if we did not remember...
1496
02:12:59,573 --> 02:13:01,974
...my skin crawled with wonder.
1497
02:13:02,143 --> 02:13:05,636
I could see Abraham, our father...
1498
02:13:05,946 --> 02:13:10,110
...and the angel of death
killing the firstborn of Egypt.
1499
02:13:10,284 --> 02:13:12,013
And Joshua...
1500
02:13:12,186 --> 02:13:14,712
...taking the city of Jericho.
1501
02:13:17,625 --> 02:13:19,992
I warn you, scribes...
1502
02:13:20,161 --> 02:13:22,027
...Iet that wonder...
1503
02:13:22,196 --> 02:13:27,396
...come through your Phoenician
chicken tracks on sheep skin.
1504
02:13:27,568 --> 02:13:30,128
Do not Iet the singers
and the story tellers...
1505
02:13:30,304 --> 02:13:35,435
...and the dreamers be Iost in your
priestly begetting of the generations.
1506
02:13:35,609 --> 02:13:39,409
And do not bleach out the souls
of our fathers...
1507
02:13:39,580 --> 02:13:41,947
...to a fish, belly-white.
1508
02:13:42,116 --> 02:13:44,380
Write down their sin...
1509
02:13:44,552 --> 02:13:45,849
...their stubbornness...
1510
02:13:46,020 --> 02:13:49,285
...their weakness.
1511
02:13:50,758 --> 02:13:53,955
For that makes them men.
1512
02:13:55,196 --> 02:13:58,894
From taxes on caravans
on the way of the sea.
1513
02:13:59,066 --> 02:14:01,364
Silver, weighing four talents.
1514
02:14:01,535 --> 02:14:04,163
Grain, barley, 1000 measures.
1515
02:14:04,338 --> 02:14:06,602
Rye, 750 measures.
1516
02:14:06,774 --> 02:14:12,144
Egyptian Iinen of middle grade bolts,
to the value of 1 talent of silver.
1517
02:14:12,313 --> 02:14:15,010
How Iong has the hot wind
blown off the Sinai?
1518
02:14:15,182 --> 02:14:16,513
Seven days, Iord.
1519
02:14:16,684 --> 02:14:18,675
It began on the day
of the driving out...
1520
02:14:18,853 --> 02:14:21,515
...of the sin-goat into the wilderness.
1521
02:14:21,689 --> 02:14:26,320
Do you know the Iaw of the Amalekites
in the desert of the Negev?
1522
02:14:26,494 --> 02:14:29,361
After four days of the hot wind...
1523
02:14:29,530 --> 02:14:33,262
...there is no bloodguilt
if a man commits murder.
1524
02:14:35,736 --> 02:14:39,229
Where is the cool wind
from the north?
1525
02:14:39,407 --> 02:14:42,638
In the mouth of Yahweh, Iord.
1526
02:14:43,778 --> 02:14:46,338
Iron bars, weighing 50 talents.
1527
02:14:46,514 --> 02:14:49,245
Purple dye from Tyre, 50 measures.
1528
02:14:49,417 --> 02:14:51,715
Cinnabar, a hundred weight.
1529
02:14:51,886 --> 02:14:54,685
Tanned Ieather hides,
first grade, a hundred.
1530
02:14:54,855 --> 02:14:56,949
Middle grade, 150.
1531
02:14:57,124 --> 02:15:01,152
Copper from the western islands,
in bars, 100.
1532
02:15:01,328 --> 02:15:03,023
Smelted with tin, 50 bars.
1533
02:15:03,631 --> 02:15:05,998
Earrings to the weight
of five talents.
1534
02:15:32,893 --> 02:15:34,884
Log wood dyed, 50 measures.
1535
02:15:53,714 --> 02:15:58,743
Similar bonds,
treated within the harbor of Tyre, 500.
1536
02:16:04,892 --> 02:16:07,054
SIings,
taken from the city of Moab...
1537
02:16:28,115 --> 02:16:30,277
Siege of the city of Amman...
1538
02:16:53,874 --> 02:16:57,276
Lord, what will you do?
1539
02:17:01,916 --> 02:17:03,441
Lord?
1540
02:17:04,351 --> 02:17:05,910
Lord?
1541
02:17:06,120 --> 02:17:09,613
Joab asks for harems,
builders and stone...
1542
02:17:09,790 --> 02:17:13,693
...to make a ramp for him
to storm the wall of Rabbah.
1543
02:17:13,861 --> 02:17:15,260
Send them.
1544
02:17:15,429 --> 02:17:18,729
But, Iord, they're still working here
on your great house.
1545
02:17:18,899 --> 02:17:22,893
If Joab doesn't take Rabbah...
1546
02:17:23,070 --> 02:17:25,505
...we do not rule the way
of the eastern caravan...
1547
02:17:25,673 --> 02:17:28,404
...and I will not need
a great house in Jerusalem.
1548
02:17:28,576 --> 02:17:30,772
Send the builders.
1549
02:17:36,884 --> 02:17:38,511
Jehosephat.
1550
02:17:39,954 --> 02:17:41,422
Lord.
1551
02:17:42,456 --> 02:17:44,823
There was a woman on that roof.
1552
02:17:45,993 --> 02:17:47,586
Who is she?
1553
02:17:47,761 --> 02:17:49,388
That is the house of Uriah...
1554
02:17:49,563 --> 02:17:53,022
...the woman
would be his wife, Bathsheba.
1555
02:17:53,200 --> 02:17:54,326
Uriah.
1556
02:17:54,501 --> 02:17:58,404
A foreigner, Lord, a Hittite,
but he follows Yahweh now.
1557
02:17:58,572 --> 02:18:01,098
He is with the fighting men
at Rabbah.
1558
02:20:31,325 --> 02:20:32,884
Come into the Iight.
1559
02:20:43,337 --> 02:20:45,704
So, you are Bathsheba.
1560
02:20:49,243 --> 02:20:52,076
Did you wonder why I sent for you?
1561
02:20:56,116 --> 02:20:57,914
But you came.
1562
02:20:58,519 --> 02:21:01,045
I am your servant, Lord...
1563
02:21:01,221 --> 02:21:03,246
...your handmaiden.
1564
02:21:38,325 --> 02:21:40,225
I couldn't sleep.
1565
02:21:41,962 --> 02:21:43,589
The hot wind.
1566
02:21:44,097 --> 02:21:47,123
No one sleeps
when the hot wind comes, Iord.
1567
02:21:47,734 --> 02:21:50,431
A man's soul is parched.
1568
02:21:51,872 --> 02:21:54,398
The Iinen he wears is hot...
1569
02:21:54,575 --> 02:21:56,304
...and rough.
1570
02:21:56,476 --> 02:21:58,672
Like Canaan cloth.
1571
02:22:02,950 --> 02:22:05,783
I saw you on your rooftop...
1572
02:22:07,521 --> 02:22:09,546
...when you bathed.
1573
02:22:10,357 --> 02:22:13,190
I have seen you often, Lord.
1574
02:22:52,866 --> 02:22:54,630
David.
1575
02:22:55,869 --> 02:22:57,769
My heart's Iove?
1576
02:22:59,072 --> 02:23:01,700
When you took Michal to wife...
1577
02:23:02,142 --> 02:23:05,305
...did you choose her every night?
1578
02:23:07,648 --> 02:23:09,742
I was younger then.
1579
02:23:12,185 --> 02:23:16,088
When Ahinoam was young,
was she more beautiful than I?
1580
02:23:18,692 --> 02:23:20,660
Did Michal please her Iord
more than I?
1581
02:23:20,827 --> 02:23:22,226
Bathsheba, my heart...
1582
02:23:22,396 --> 02:23:26,162
...I'm trying to read the report of Joab
of the battle of Rabbah.
1583
02:23:26,333 --> 02:23:29,826
You have six wives, Iord,
and concubines.
1584
02:23:30,003 --> 02:23:33,633
When your eyes closed
and your face is buried in my hair...
1585
02:23:33,807 --> 02:23:36,071
...do you know which I am?
1586
02:23:36,810 --> 02:23:38,369
I know...
1587
02:23:38,545 --> 02:23:42,072
...that you are Bathsheba...
1588
02:23:42,249 --> 02:23:43,978
...my heart.
1589
02:23:45,786 --> 02:23:50,280
Even if my eyes were blind,
I would know you.
1590
02:23:51,291 --> 02:23:54,352
You are written on my heart.
1591
02:23:54,528 --> 02:23:58,158
The scroll which Iists the things
a king desires...
1592
02:23:58,332 --> 02:24:02,929
...gold, cities, slaves.
1593
02:24:04,671 --> 02:24:06,605
My heart.
1594
02:24:09,710 --> 02:24:11,508
I would Iove you...
1595
02:24:11,678 --> 02:24:15,876
...care for you and protect you,
even if I were a shepherd.
1596
02:24:20,554 --> 02:24:22,352
Lord...
1597
02:24:23,223 --> 02:24:25,555
...I am with child.
1598
02:24:28,962 --> 02:24:32,899
-Can you be sure?
-It is four weeks past my time.
1599
02:24:35,068 --> 02:24:37,002
There are reasons
for a woman to be Iate.
1600
02:24:37,170 --> 02:24:40,868
This is my 10th year.
I have been with the moon always.
1601
02:24:41,508 --> 02:24:44,443
Your seed is growing, Iord.
1602
02:24:47,614 --> 02:24:49,446
By...
1603
02:24:49,616 --> 02:24:52,085
...Yahweh.
1604
02:24:56,256 --> 02:24:58,987
I am a mighty ram.
1605
02:24:59,159 --> 02:25:01,526
A bull.
1606
02:25:07,768 --> 02:25:09,759
Rejoice.
1607
02:25:10,737 --> 02:25:12,501
You carry the seed of David.
1608
02:25:12,672 --> 02:25:15,869
Lord, my husband,
your captain, Uriah...
1609
02:25:16,043 --> 02:25:18,205
...has been at the war in Rabbah
four months.
1610
02:25:19,579 --> 02:25:20,774
Well?
1611
02:25:20,947 --> 02:25:23,314
When my belly grows
with the seed of David...
1612
02:25:23,483 --> 02:25:27,044
...will there be anyone foolish enough
not to count on their fingers?
1613
02:25:27,821 --> 02:25:30,882
-It will be nothing.
-It will be adultery, proven.
1614
02:25:31,058 --> 02:25:34,119
And the punishment for that
is the death of heavy stones.
1615
02:25:35,996 --> 02:25:37,930
I am the king.
1616
02:25:38,098 --> 02:25:40,066
Who will dare make such a charge?
1617
02:25:40,233 --> 02:25:42,395
No one, Iord.
1618
02:25:42,569 --> 02:25:45,197
No one will make a charge
against you...
1619
02:25:45,372 --> 02:25:48,740
...but a woman
with her belly carrying a bastard...
1620
02:25:48,909 --> 02:25:52,277
...the priests will drag her, me,
to trial.
1621
02:25:52,446 --> 02:25:56,383
Nathan, the prophet, would thunder
and threaten Yahweh's curse.
1622
02:25:56,550 --> 02:25:58,644
The Iaw is hard on women, Iord.
1623
02:25:59,219 --> 02:26:03,213
Even a king could not save a woman
who is proved adulterous.
1624
02:26:05,826 --> 02:26:08,022
I will not Iet them.
1625
02:26:11,665 --> 02:26:15,397
Can even you go against the priests
and Nathan, the prophet?
1626
02:26:19,206 --> 02:26:21,675
No, not now.
1627
02:26:21,842 --> 02:26:24,368
With the new taxes for the war
at Rabbah...
1628
02:26:24,544 --> 02:26:27,138
...and the numbering of the people
for the army.
1629
02:26:28,849 --> 02:26:33,218
If I go against the custom of Israel,
the priests will pull me down.
1630
02:26:35,122 --> 02:26:38,353
As Samuel turned against Saul.
1631
02:26:43,763 --> 02:26:46,425
But there are always other ways.
1632
02:26:47,467 --> 02:26:51,529
You are with child only two months.
1633
02:26:51,705 --> 02:26:53,605
Why should it
not be your husband's child?
1634
02:26:53,773 --> 02:26:58,870
Because Uriah, my husband,
has been at Rabbah four months.
1635
02:26:59,746 --> 02:27:01,976
That is within the power of the king.
1636
02:27:20,500 --> 02:27:23,561
Uriah, the Hittite,
captain of a hundred.
1637
02:27:24,704 --> 02:27:29,437
King, Iive forever
in Yahweh's blessing.
1638
02:27:40,954 --> 02:27:42,752
King, Ii--
1639
02:27:47,794 --> 02:27:49,387
Captain...
1640
02:27:50,864 --> 02:27:53,492
...I have called you from the fighting
to report to me.
1641
02:27:54,334 --> 02:27:55,859
Me, Iord?
1642
02:27:56,036 --> 02:27:58,027
How does the fighting
go against Rabbah?
1643
02:27:59,573 --> 02:28:00,597
I don't know, Iord.
1644
02:28:01,308 --> 02:28:02,901
Well, you've just come from there.
1645
02:28:03,076 --> 02:28:04,976
The dust of the road is on your feet.
1646
02:28:05,145 --> 02:28:10,049
Lord, I am not called to the tent
of the war chief or the council.
1647
02:28:10,217 --> 02:28:13,949
I just command a hundred
in one corner of the wall...
1648
02:28:14,120 --> 02:28:16,179
...near the reed swamp.
1649
02:28:16,356 --> 02:28:19,485
Well, how does the fighting go
in your corner of the wall...
1650
02:28:19,659 --> 02:28:21,149
...near the reed swamp?
1651
02:28:22,295 --> 02:28:24,286
Very well.
1652
02:28:24,464 --> 02:28:26,398
Well, that is...
1653
02:28:26,566 --> 02:28:29,092
...they shoot down arrows...
1654
02:28:29,269 --> 02:28:30,464
...we wait.
1655
02:28:30,637 --> 02:28:33,072
Good. Very, very good.
1656
02:28:35,208 --> 02:28:38,906
How are your fighting men, captain?
1657
02:28:39,079 --> 02:28:41,241
Like all fighting men.
1658
02:28:41,581 --> 02:28:43,811
Some run away...
1659
02:28:43,984 --> 02:28:45,713
...steal what they can.
1660
02:28:45,885 --> 02:28:49,844
Some are brave. They all complain.
1661
02:28:52,959 --> 02:28:55,553
Captain, your report
is very important.
1662
02:28:56,329 --> 02:28:59,924
-It is?
-You have the favor of the king.
1663
02:29:00,100 --> 02:29:03,593
Now, go down to your own house
and wash the dust from your feet.
1664
02:29:03,770 --> 02:29:05,499
Rest.
1665
02:29:06,039 --> 02:29:07,871
Refresh yourself.
1666
02:29:08,041 --> 02:29:10,874
I will send food to you from my table.
1667
02:29:33,033 --> 02:29:34,057
Lord David.
1668
02:29:36,903 --> 02:29:37,995
What are you doing here?
1669
02:29:38,171 --> 02:29:40,230
You're supposed to be
with your husband.
1670
02:29:40,407 --> 02:29:42,535
That would be very difficult, Iord.
1671
02:29:42,709 --> 02:29:46,339
That fool is camping outside
in the courtyard with his troops.
1672
02:29:46,513 --> 02:29:48,572
I am Iying on my bed naked...
1673
02:29:48,748 --> 02:29:50,443
...anointed with oil of myrrh...
1674
02:29:50,617 --> 02:29:55,111
...and he is sleeping on the stones
with 50 soldiers with sweaty feet.
1675
02:30:14,808 --> 02:30:16,776
And they roll heavy stones
off the walls...
1676
02:30:16,943 --> 02:30:19,810
...which hit the base,
which slants up...
1677
02:30:19,979 --> 02:30:25,509
...so the stones bounce
and crush our men.
1678
02:30:26,319 --> 02:30:29,584
You're very clear. Most valuable.
1679
02:30:34,561 --> 02:30:36,359
Last night, they tell me...
1680
02:30:36,529 --> 02:30:40,022
...you slept on the stones
outside with your soldiers.
1681
02:30:40,200 --> 02:30:41,998
Yes, Iord.
1682
02:30:42,402 --> 02:30:45,428
Well, why didn't you go
into your house?
1683
02:30:45,605 --> 02:30:47,767
-The Iaw.
-The Iaw?
1684
02:30:47,941 --> 02:30:49,136
Yahweh's Iaw.
1685
02:30:49,309 --> 02:30:52,176
Joab of my Iord's army
is at war, Iiving in the field.
1686
02:30:52,345 --> 02:30:53,608
Shall I go into my house...
1687
02:30:53,780 --> 02:30:57,011
...and eat and drink
and Iie with my wife?
1688
02:30:57,183 --> 02:30:59,151
Most men would.
1689
02:30:59,319 --> 02:31:01,048
It is Yahweh's Iaw.
1690
02:31:01,921 --> 02:31:05,016
No soldier in battle
shall touch a woman...
1691
02:31:05,191 --> 02:31:08,286
...his wife or concubine
or follower of the camp.
1692
02:31:09,329 --> 02:31:12,663
Oh, that Iaw.
1693
02:31:14,868 --> 02:31:20,238
But, Uriah,
that is a Iaw of ancient days.
1694
02:31:20,440 --> 02:31:25,310
I mean, a Iittle refreshment
makes a man fight better.
1695
02:31:25,478 --> 02:31:28,072
Lord, I was born a Hittite.
1696
02:31:28,248 --> 02:31:33,209
I followed false gods till
I was brought to the way of Yahweh.
1697
02:31:33,586 --> 02:31:36,146
The ark of the Lord is at the battle.
1698
02:31:36,322 --> 02:31:39,155
Can I be impure
and sleep with my wife...
1699
02:31:39,325 --> 02:31:41,487
...when the Iaw of Yahweh is clear?
1700
02:31:41,661 --> 02:31:46,030
Surely the king would not tell anyone
to break holy Iaw.
1701
02:31:46,199 --> 02:31:49,726
No, no. Of course not.
1702
02:31:51,237 --> 02:31:53,865
Captain, you are more pious
and scrupulously righteous...
1703
02:31:54,040 --> 02:31:57,032
...than a man born to Yahweh's Iaw.
1704
02:31:58,144 --> 02:31:59,270
I commend you.
1705
02:32:09,322 --> 02:32:13,225
Tomorrow, I will Iet you return
to your fighting.
1706
02:32:13,393 --> 02:32:14,758
To victory.
1707
02:32:23,436 --> 02:32:29,466
Uriah, go down to your house.
You deserve comfort and joy.
1708
02:32:29,642 --> 02:32:32,441
Bathsheba?
1709
02:32:32,612 --> 02:32:35,172
Bathsheba?
1710
02:32:37,217 --> 02:32:39,447
Bathsheba?
1711
02:32:43,623 --> 02:32:45,682
Open.
1712
02:32:45,892 --> 02:32:48,122
Open to the master of the house.
1713
02:32:51,531 --> 02:32:53,966
Bathsheba, I'm here.
1714
02:32:54,133 --> 02:32:56,329
I'm here, Bathsheba.
1715
02:32:56,503 --> 02:32:59,529
The Iion of Catushar.
1716
02:32:59,706 --> 02:33:01,970
The stallion of the Hittites.
1717
02:33:03,743 --> 02:33:08,305
Let me in, or by Yahweh who Iives--
1718
02:33:09,249 --> 02:33:11,115
Who said Yahweh?
1719
02:33:11,384 --> 02:33:12,977
Yahweh.
1720
02:33:14,053 --> 02:33:15,919
What am I doing?
1721
02:33:16,723 --> 02:33:21,593
Oh, Yahweh, I swear I did not mean
to break your Iaw.
1722
02:33:22,795 --> 02:33:24,456
Yahweh...
1723
02:33:24,998 --> 02:33:28,229
...keep me from sin.
1724
02:33:33,540 --> 02:33:35,668
I call you to witness...
1725
02:33:37,343 --> 02:33:40,074
...I did not go in to my wife.
1726
02:33:40,246 --> 02:33:42,374
I did not go in.
1727
02:33:42,549 --> 02:33:44,779
I am pure, Yahweh.
1728
02:33:44,951 --> 02:33:48,581
I am pure in your sight.
1729
02:33:48,755 --> 02:33:53,921
I am pure in your sight, Yahweh.
1730
02:33:54,093 --> 02:33:56,027
Yahweh.
1731
02:34:55,421 --> 02:34:57,321
The king put this in your hand?
1732
02:34:57,490 --> 02:34:59,254
Yes, war chief.
1733
02:35:01,728 --> 02:35:03,196
Do you know what he writes here?
1734
02:35:04,497 --> 02:35:05,965
No, war chief.
1735
02:35:08,368 --> 02:35:10,166
Captain...
1736
02:35:11,738 --> 02:35:13,536
...Uriah.
1737
02:35:14,040 --> 02:35:16,304
You're a good fighting man.
1738
02:35:18,011 --> 02:35:20,378
You may go back to your hundred.
1739
02:35:36,496 --> 02:35:38,658
The west gate of the city...
1740
02:35:38,831 --> 02:35:41,095
...where they send out sallies...
1741
02:35:41,267 --> 02:35:44,032
...put Uriah the Hittite there.
1742
02:35:44,203 --> 02:35:46,729
Give him orders to follow any man
back to the gate.
1743
02:35:46,906 --> 02:35:50,342
-To the gate?
-Do not ask questions.
1744
02:35:50,510 --> 02:35:53,775
Never ask questions.
1745
02:35:55,715 --> 02:35:58,912
They sent spearmen out
from the west gate ofthe city...
1746
02:35:59,085 --> 02:36:02,817
...and ourhundreds drove them back
andpursued them to the gate...
1747
02:36:02,989 --> 02:36:05,856
...and they threw heavy rocks
from the wall and arrows.
1748
02:36:06,025 --> 02:36:09,290
And some ofyourfighting men
were killed.
1749
02:36:09,462 --> 02:36:12,397
Your captain, Uriah the Hittite...
1750
02:36:12,565 --> 02:36:13,930
...is dead also.
1751
02:37:22,902 --> 02:37:25,337
The baby is in breech.
1752
02:37:29,542 --> 02:37:32,034
Yurmate, Banco,
what are you Iistening for?
1753
02:37:32,211 --> 02:37:34,737
They will blow the ram's horn
from the woman's house...
1754
02:37:34,914 --> 02:37:36,541
...when the child is born, Iord.
1755
02:37:36,716 --> 02:37:40,152
When David's son is born, he'II raise
the ram's horn and blow it himself.
1756
02:37:40,319 --> 02:37:43,345
Nathan, prophet.
1757
02:37:43,523 --> 02:37:45,787
Welcome to the house of David.
1758
02:37:45,958 --> 02:37:47,926
Bring water to wash
the prophet's feet.
1759
02:37:48,094 --> 02:37:50,859
Come, sit at my right hand.
1760
02:37:52,865 --> 02:37:56,165
David, son of Jesse.
1761
02:37:56,402 --> 02:37:58,734
I come with a matter
for the king's justice.
1762
02:37:58,905 --> 02:38:01,966
Prophet, this is no time for ordinary
matters of Iaw and judgment.
1763
02:38:02,141 --> 02:38:04,906
We're waiting for the birth
of the son of David, the king.
1764
02:38:05,077 --> 02:38:08,138
The prophet speaks
in the name of Yahweh.
1765
02:38:14,787 --> 02:38:18,121
Here is the case
for the judgment of the king.
1766
02:38:23,996 --> 02:38:26,055
There were two men
1767
02:38:26,232 --> 02:38:28,200
One, rich.
1768
02:38:28,367 --> 02:38:31,064
Many sheep, donkeys and goats.
1769
02:38:32,038 --> 02:38:33,938
The other, poor.
1770
02:38:34,106 --> 02:38:36,768
He had nothing
but a Iittle ewe Iamb.
1771
02:38:37,643 --> 02:38:39,702
He raised that Iamb.
He fed it with his hand.
1772
02:38:39,879 --> 02:38:42,439
He Ioved it as his children.
1773
02:38:43,850 --> 02:38:46,785
There came a traveler
to visit the rich man.
1774
02:38:47,486 --> 02:38:50,114
The rich man did not take any animal
from his own herd...
1775
02:38:50,289 --> 02:38:51,586
...to feast the stranger.
1776
02:38:51,757 --> 02:38:54,249
But he took the poor man's Iamb...
1777
02:38:54,427 --> 02:38:58,694
...and killed it
and roasted it to serve the traveler.
1778
02:38:58,865 --> 02:39:00,959
This is the case.
1779
02:39:01,367 --> 02:39:04,029
Make a judgment, David. King.
1780
02:39:06,806 --> 02:39:09,537
This man deserves to die.
1781
02:39:10,676 --> 02:39:12,337
Judgment
1782
02:39:13,379 --> 02:39:18,510
The man shall be fined four times
the value of the Iamb.
1783
02:39:18,818 --> 02:39:20,718
Because he had no pity.
1784
02:39:21,954 --> 02:39:23,649
You are that man.
1785
02:39:31,397 --> 02:39:32,592
This says Yahweh
1786
02:39:32,765 --> 02:39:34,790
I anointed you king of Israel...
1787
02:39:34,967 --> 02:39:38,096
...and saved you
from the hand of Saul.
1788
02:39:38,304 --> 02:39:40,534
Why have you
despised the word of Yahweh...
1789
02:39:40,706 --> 02:39:42,367
...to do evil in my sight.
1790
02:39:42,541 --> 02:39:44,635
Prophet, you are before the king.
1791
02:39:44,810 --> 02:39:48,110
The king of Israel
is not Iike the kings of other Iands.
1792
02:39:48,281 --> 02:39:50,147
He is the servant of Yahweh.
1793
02:39:50,316 --> 02:39:54,048
Uriah the Hittite,
you have killed with a sword...
1794
02:39:54,220 --> 02:39:57,679
...and therefore the sword
shall never depart from your house.
1795
02:39:58,791 --> 02:40:03,160
For you have taken the wife of Uriah
to be your wife.
1796
02:40:03,329 --> 02:40:05,024
Behold.
1797
02:40:05,197 --> 02:40:09,031
I will raise up evil against you
out of your own house...
1798
02:40:09,201 --> 02:40:11,431
...for this you did secretly...
1799
02:40:11,604 --> 02:40:15,734
...but I will do this thing
before all Israel and before the sun.
1800
02:40:15,908 --> 02:40:18,002
Joab!
1801
02:40:29,455 --> 02:40:31,423
I have sinned...
1802
02:40:31,791 --> 02:40:33,225
...against Yahweh.
1803
02:40:44,804 --> 02:40:47,136
Yahweh hears you.
1804
02:40:48,674 --> 02:40:52,907
But by this thing,
you have blasphemed Yahweh.
1805
02:40:56,849 --> 02:40:59,079
You will not die.
1806
02:41:00,453 --> 02:41:04,890
But the child that is born to you
will surely die.
1807
02:41:37,490 --> 02:41:39,356
My Iove.
1808
02:41:43,195 --> 02:41:45,892
David, my own king.
1809
02:41:51,670 --> 02:41:54,298
Well, you can have another son.
1810
02:41:59,311 --> 02:42:01,405
Oh, my beloved.
1811
02:42:26,939 --> 02:42:30,170
Must all speak at once?
1812
02:42:34,547 --> 02:42:37,175
Your firstborn, Iord,
Amnon, my son...
1813
02:42:37,349 --> 02:42:39,977
...you promised him rule over
three villages in Benjamin.
1814
02:42:40,152 --> 02:42:41,176
Look at him, Iord.
1815
02:42:41,353 --> 02:42:46,587
Absalom, the people follow him and
say the Iion of Judah is born again.
1816
02:42:46,759 --> 02:42:48,386
He has your blood too, Iord...
1817
02:42:48,561 --> 02:42:49,960
...my son, Adonijah...
1818
02:42:50,129 --> 02:42:53,861
...should he be made small
for the sons of Ahinoam and Maacah.
1819
02:42:54,033 --> 02:42:56,593
Now, hear me.
1820
02:42:57,203 --> 02:43:00,503
AII the sons of my wives
are in my heart.
1821
02:43:00,673 --> 02:43:03,267
Amnon, Absalom, Adonijah...
1822
02:43:03,876 --> 02:43:06,777
...and all the others
ever as Yahweh Iives.
1823
02:43:06,946 --> 02:43:09,643
If I can rule all Israel
from Dan to Beersheba...
1824
02:43:09,815 --> 02:43:13,774
...I can rule the women of my house.
1825
02:43:15,421 --> 02:43:17,389
Amnon is my firstborn...
1826
02:43:17,556 --> 02:43:19,024
...he is my right hand.
1827
02:43:19,191 --> 02:43:21,216
He is first after me...
1828
02:43:21,393 --> 02:43:25,330
...and he will rule over
the three villages in Benjamin.
1829
02:43:25,498 --> 02:43:30,265
And all men will obey him
when he speaks in my name.
1830
02:43:39,078 --> 02:43:40,773
Abigail.
1831
02:43:40,946 --> 02:43:42,607
Lord?
1832
02:43:43,782 --> 02:43:45,409
Why have I not seen you
for so Iong?
1833
02:43:46,118 --> 02:43:48,177
I have been here, Iord.
1834
02:43:48,354 --> 02:43:52,257
But you have many wives,
and you must see to them.
1835
02:43:54,059 --> 02:43:55,652
Woman...
1836
02:43:57,196 --> 02:44:00,791
...you were wise
when you came to me from Nabal.
1837
02:44:00,966 --> 02:44:02,525
Tell me...
1838
02:44:02,701 --> 02:44:05,932
...why is there no peace
in my house?
1839
02:44:06,505 --> 02:44:08,872
Lord, when they were young...
1840
02:44:09,041 --> 02:44:11,942
...they had power over you
through their bodies...
1841
02:44:12,111 --> 02:44:16,173
...but there are always younger wives
brought into the house of a king.
1842
02:44:16,348 --> 02:44:19,909
So now, their whole world
is their sons.
1843
02:44:20,085 --> 02:44:22,452
And they plan
and they whisper in their ears...
1844
02:44:22,621 --> 02:44:26,751
...and they scratch and they claw
to gain power over all the others.
1845
02:44:26,926 --> 02:44:30,954
And they know,
Yahweh Iet it not happen...
1846
02:44:31,130 --> 02:44:34,998
...that when the king dies,
only one son will rule.
1847
02:44:36,035 --> 02:44:37,969
And it is the way of all kings...
1848
02:44:38,137 --> 02:44:39,468
...that he will feel safe...
1849
02:44:39,638 --> 02:44:43,438
...only when he sees the blood
of all his brothers.
1850
02:44:44,710 --> 02:44:47,475
So there can never be peace
in my house?
1851
02:44:47,646 --> 02:44:49,671
I am at peace, Iord.
1852
02:44:49,848 --> 02:44:52,613
I have no son
to send out into the race.
1853
02:44:53,852 --> 02:44:56,981
I am Iike you, Iord.
1854
02:44:57,590 --> 02:44:59,058
I am alone.
1855
02:45:28,654 --> 02:45:29,951
When I was a boy...
1856
02:45:30,122 --> 02:45:34,116
...Iying in the high grass
above Bethlehem...
1857
02:45:34,293 --> 02:45:36,660
...watching my father's sheep...
1858
02:45:38,197 --> 02:45:42,327
...a song came into my heart Iike water
bubbling up out of the earth.
1859
02:45:42,501 --> 02:45:46,028
There are many things that are not as
they were when we were young, uncle.
1860
02:45:46,238 --> 02:45:48,900
-Your son Amnon--
-I do not wish to hear.
1861
02:45:49,074 --> 02:45:51,042
He judges in your name
these three years...
1862
02:45:51,210 --> 02:45:53,508
-...but he sells your justice and takes--
-Joab.
1863
02:45:53,679 --> 02:45:55,943
--In your name, makes
the name of David a stench--
1864
02:45:56,115 --> 02:45:58,209
-He is my son.
-Uncle, Iisten to me.
1865
02:45:58,384 --> 02:45:59,783
No.
1866
02:46:00,819 --> 02:46:06,189
After all, am I without sin?
He's my son, he's my firstborn.
1867
02:46:09,728 --> 02:46:11,127
He has my blood.
1868
02:46:12,097 --> 02:46:14,691
He has your blood.
1869
02:46:22,708 --> 02:46:24,642
Tamar.
1870
02:46:24,810 --> 02:46:28,110
-You mean she's the one?
-Beautiful.
1871
02:46:28,280 --> 02:46:31,773
You can't.
She's your father's daughter...
1872
02:46:31,950 --> 02:46:33,782
...your brother Absalom's sister.
1873
02:46:33,952 --> 02:46:36,580
Your father,
do you know what he will do?
1874
02:46:36,755 --> 02:46:39,986
I am my father's firstborn.
1875
02:46:42,261 --> 02:46:44,730
He will deny me nothing.
1876
02:46:48,267 --> 02:46:49,792
Sister.
1877
02:46:49,968 --> 02:46:52,630
The king our father said
I was to bring you some cakes...
1878
02:46:52,805 --> 02:46:56,105
-...because you were ill, Amnon.
-Tamar, come in.
1879
02:46:59,144 --> 02:47:01,909
Jonadab, Iet you
and my men Ieave me.
1880
02:47:04,950 --> 02:47:06,281
Brother?
1881
02:47:06,452 --> 02:47:09,820
Come, sister, bring me the cakes.
1882
02:47:15,928 --> 02:47:18,090
-No.
-Tamar, it is for you that I am ill.
1883
02:47:18,263 --> 02:47:22,222
No. No, brother,
you must not do this evil.
1884
02:47:22,401 --> 02:47:24,460
No!
1885
02:47:24,636 --> 02:47:26,365
No!
1886
02:47:44,056 --> 02:47:45,820
Sister.
1887
02:47:46,959 --> 02:47:51,226
And after, he called his people
and he said
1888
02:47:51,397 --> 02:47:54,833
"Put this whore out of my house."
1889
02:47:56,969 --> 02:47:59,597
Where will I go?
1890
02:48:01,106 --> 02:48:05,407
What if my own brother's seed is--?
1891
02:48:09,381 --> 02:48:12,078
You will stay here with me, sister...
1892
02:48:12,251 --> 02:48:14,686
...and we will be silent.
1893
02:48:15,421 --> 02:48:18,447
He is his firstborn.
1894
02:48:21,994 --> 02:48:24,019
Wait, sister.
1895
02:48:24,196 --> 02:48:26,096
Wait.
1896
02:48:26,765 --> 02:48:28,597
Wait.
1897
02:49:18,884 --> 02:49:20,613
Absalom.
1898
02:49:22,721 --> 02:49:24,018
Brother.
1899
02:49:27,493 --> 02:49:29,552
My son.
1900
02:49:29,728 --> 02:49:31,753
Amnon, my son.
1901
02:49:32,364 --> 02:49:33,957
He's dead.
1902
02:49:36,568 --> 02:49:38,536
Your son...
1903
02:49:39,104 --> 02:49:40,594
...he killed him.
1904
02:49:40,772 --> 02:49:42,968
Absalom murdered him.
1905
02:49:43,609 --> 02:49:45,941
He killed my son.
1906
02:50:01,326 --> 02:50:04,159
Your son is dead and mine Iives.
1907
02:50:04,329 --> 02:50:07,162
Absalom Iives and he will be king.
1908
02:50:07,332 --> 02:50:09,767
He is safe in my father's city.
1909
02:50:09,935 --> 02:50:14,031
He Iives and he will be king.
1910
02:50:20,746 --> 02:50:22,236
Woman...
1911
02:50:22,414 --> 02:50:24,781
...I am king.
1912
02:50:26,351 --> 02:50:28,615
And after me...
1913
02:50:28,787 --> 02:50:30,812
...I will say who will be king.
1914
02:50:31,857 --> 02:50:34,554
Now, I am bereft of my firstborn...
1915
02:50:34,726 --> 02:50:36,455
...he has been struck down.
1916
02:50:37,663 --> 02:50:42,396
My son, my beautiful Amnon is dead
and Absalom...
1917
02:50:42,568 --> 02:50:44,798
...is fled into exile...
1918
02:50:44,970 --> 02:50:48,668
...and in exile he will stay.
1919
02:51:27,546 --> 02:51:30,174
Help. Grant me justice, oh, king.
1920
02:51:30,349 --> 02:51:32,215
Help me.
1921
02:51:33,885 --> 02:51:38,220
-What is your trouble, woman?
-My husband is Iong dead, Iord.
1922
02:51:38,390 --> 02:51:42,384
I had two sons and they fought
with each other in the fields...
1923
02:51:42,561 --> 02:51:44,051
...and none could part them.
1924
02:51:44,229 --> 02:51:46,288
One of them struck the other
and killed him.
1925
02:51:46,465 --> 02:51:49,958
And now the family has risen up
against me and said
1926
02:51:50,302 --> 02:51:51,633
"Give me your son...
1927
02:51:51,803 --> 02:51:55,068
...who has killed his brother
that we may kill him for his murder."
1928
02:51:55,240 --> 02:51:57,402
If my Iast son dies...
1929
02:51:57,576 --> 02:52:00,409
...my husband's name will be gone
from the face of the earth.
1930
02:52:01,513 --> 02:52:02,878
Lord...
1931
02:52:03,048 --> 02:52:04,607
...protect my son.
1932
02:52:07,886 --> 02:52:09,786
You are protected...
1933
02:52:10,355 --> 02:52:12,255
...the king's judgment.
1934
02:52:12,524 --> 02:52:13,889
Do you swear, Iord...
1935
02:52:14,059 --> 02:52:15,549
...by Yahweh...
1936
02:52:15,727 --> 02:52:17,752
...that my son
shall not be destroyed.
1937
02:52:17,929 --> 02:52:20,057
As Yahweh Iives.
1938
02:52:20,232 --> 02:52:22,826
Your son is safe.
I have given judgment.
1939
02:52:23,001 --> 02:52:26,232
Then you are in violation
of your own judgment, Iord.
1940
02:52:26,405 --> 02:52:31,138
If my son is forgiven
and called home...
1941
02:52:31,309 --> 02:52:36,804
...why does the king not call home
his own banished son, Absalom?
1942
02:52:36,982 --> 02:52:39,110
We all die, Iord.
1943
02:52:39,284 --> 02:52:43,482
We are as water spilled on the ground,
but cannot be gathered up again.
1944
02:52:45,023 --> 02:52:48,254
Yahweh himself finds the way
to forgive the outcast.
1945
02:52:48,427 --> 02:52:50,088
Silence, woman.
1946
02:52:50,262 --> 02:52:54,130
Who has paid you?
Who gave you those words to say?
1947
02:52:55,500 --> 02:52:56,729
Joab.
1948
02:52:58,103 --> 02:52:59,935
Was it my war chief, Joab?
1949
02:53:02,140 --> 02:53:03,164
Yes, sire.
1950
02:53:17,556 --> 02:53:20,548
You go too far, war chief.
1951
02:53:21,827 --> 02:53:26,958
-You always go too far.
-Uncle, your heart calls for your son.
1952
02:53:27,132 --> 02:53:28,725
For Absalom.
1953
02:53:28,900 --> 02:53:31,562
He's been in exile three years.
1954
02:53:31,737 --> 02:53:34,104
Call him home.
1955
02:53:37,275 --> 02:53:40,040
I will grant your request,
son of my sister.
1956
02:53:40,212 --> 02:53:42,704
Go. Bring my son Absalom back.
1957
02:53:42,881 --> 02:53:47,114
But Iet him stay in his own house...
1958
02:53:47,919 --> 02:53:50,081
...that he won't see my face.
1959
02:54:00,365 --> 02:54:02,356
Two years.
1960
02:54:02,534 --> 02:54:05,697
Two years since he called me back
to Jerusalem...
1961
02:54:06,404 --> 02:54:08,839
...and he has not Iooked upon me.
1962
02:54:09,374 --> 02:54:11,069
Why?
1963
02:54:11,443 --> 02:54:13,537
Why did he call me back?
1964
02:54:13,712 --> 02:54:15,476
Listen, Joab, go to him.
1965
02:54:15,647 --> 02:54:19,811
Tell him I cannot Iive this way.
If he finds guilt in me...
1966
02:54:19,985 --> 02:54:22,181
-...then Iet him kill me.
-Absalom--
1967
02:54:22,354 --> 02:54:25,324
I am his son, tell him.
1968
02:55:25,851 --> 02:55:27,819
I have come, Absalom,
as you requested.
1969
02:55:27,986 --> 02:55:31,012
You are counselor to the king,
Ahithophel.
1970
02:55:31,189 --> 02:55:34,250
You Iive at his court and you know
the evil the king, my father...
1971
02:55:34,426 --> 02:55:36,895
...has invited into his house.
1972
02:55:37,395 --> 02:55:39,227
Tell me, Ahithophel...
1973
02:55:39,397 --> 02:55:41,263
...Iet me hear your advice.
1974
02:55:41,433 --> 02:55:42,628
Are the people with me?
1975
02:55:42,801 --> 02:55:45,168
The people yearn for you...
1976
02:55:45,337 --> 02:55:46,896
...and will be with you...
1977
02:55:47,072 --> 02:55:49,302
...even as they were
with David the shepherd...
1978
02:55:49,474 --> 02:55:51,442
...when he fled
from the wrath of Saul.
1979
02:55:51,610 --> 02:55:54,045
I go now, with my father's permission,
to Hebron...
1980
02:55:54,212 --> 02:55:57,182
...where men of his own tribe of Judah
will support me.
1981
02:55:57,349 --> 02:56:00,011
When I send the word, be ready.
1982
02:56:00,185 --> 02:56:02,847
BIow the ram's horns
and Iight the signal fires...
1983
02:56:03,021 --> 02:56:05,888
...so that all will know,
from Dan to Beersheba.
1984
02:56:06,057 --> 02:56:07,525
Israel has a new king.
1985
02:56:22,274 --> 02:56:23,969
David.
1986
02:56:25,243 --> 02:56:29,476
-David, David awaken!
-I know, I know. Saul is the only--
1987
02:56:29,648 --> 02:56:32,140
Wake up, wake up.
1988
02:56:32,751 --> 02:56:33,775
-Joab.
-Listen to me.
1989
02:56:33,952 --> 02:56:35,681
-It's cold.
-Your son...
1990
02:56:35,854 --> 02:56:38,186
...Absalom has declared himself king
in Hebron.
1991
02:56:39,958 --> 02:56:41,016
Absalom? You Iie.
1992
02:56:41,192 --> 02:56:43,991
There are signal fires
in every high place in the north.
1993
02:56:44,162 --> 02:56:47,063
The tribal militia are coming to him
from Benjamin and Ephraim.
1994
02:56:47,232 --> 02:56:49,064
-Where is he now?
-At Hebron still.
1995
02:56:49,234 --> 02:56:51,396
But our army is across the Jordan
to the east.
1996
02:56:51,569 --> 02:56:54,163
He can reach the city here
before they can.
1997
02:56:54,339 --> 02:56:57,070
-You sent runners?
-Yes, Iord.
1998
02:56:57,242 --> 02:56:59,768
Bring me my armor, my sword.
1999
02:56:59,945 --> 02:57:01,845
Jehosephat.
2000
02:57:03,348 --> 02:57:06,079
I am ready to go with you, Iord,
into the wilderness.
2001
02:57:06,251 --> 02:57:08,083
No, no. You will stay here.
2002
02:57:08,253 --> 02:57:11,382
You will crawl to Absalom
when he enters the city.
2003
02:57:11,556 --> 02:57:12,717
-No.
-You will serve him.
2004
02:57:12,891 --> 02:57:16,486
You will be of his counsel
and you will tell him...
2005
02:57:16,661 --> 02:57:19,961
...what I will send you to tell him
by my priests.
2006
02:57:21,299 --> 02:57:24,325
King, Iive forever.
2007
02:57:24,502 --> 02:57:25,992
We have a thousand men.
2008
02:57:26,171 --> 02:57:28,196
We can hold the city
till the army reach us.
2009
02:57:28,373 --> 02:57:31,070
And be caught Iike a sheep
with his tail in the gate? No.
2010
02:57:31,242 --> 02:57:32,971
We'II Ieave Jerusalem to him.
2011
02:57:33,144 --> 02:57:35,044
Leave him Jerusalem?
2012
02:57:35,213 --> 02:57:38,979
If he can keep it, Iet him be king.
2013
02:57:40,018 --> 02:57:42,510
I was dreaming of Saul.
2014
02:57:43,355 --> 02:57:47,223
I Ioved Saul,
yet we were not of the same blood.
2015
02:57:48,460 --> 02:57:51,054
Why cannot my sons Iove me?
2016
02:57:51,229 --> 02:57:54,756
Saul drove you away to the mountains
and you became a rebel.
2017
02:57:54,933 --> 02:57:58,563
You drove Absalom away.
I tried to warn you.
2018
02:57:58,737 --> 02:58:00,205
If there was Iove...
2019
02:58:00,372 --> 02:58:05,139
...it soured in the years when you
would not Iet him see your face.
2020
02:58:10,315 --> 02:58:12,249
Back to the mountains...
2021
02:58:12,417 --> 02:58:14,681
...to be hunted Iike a partridge.
2022
02:58:44,582 --> 02:58:46,072
Uncle?
2023
02:58:47,519 --> 02:58:49,487
The runner has come
from Jerusalem...
2024
02:58:49,654 --> 02:58:51,247
-Listen.
-...from Zadok the priest.
2025
02:58:51,423 --> 02:58:54,484
Listen. It's a Nahorean moan.
2026
02:58:56,628 --> 02:58:58,960
It goes out the end of the phrase.
2027
02:58:59,130 --> 02:59:01,656
He called the elders in
and before them all...
2028
02:59:01,833 --> 02:59:03,858
...he took your concubines.
2029
02:59:04,035 --> 02:59:07,630
He is the most beautiful
of my sons.
2030
02:59:07,872 --> 02:59:10,864
When I was a young man,
women Ioved me as they do him.
2031
02:59:11,042 --> 02:59:13,602
But Iove has Iittle to do with it.
2032
02:59:13,778 --> 02:59:16,213
He did it to show that he was king
and you were dead.
2033
02:59:17,215 --> 02:59:20,446
So you would've been if he'd come
before we crossed the Jordan.
2034
02:59:20,618 --> 02:59:22,416
By Yahweh, it was close.
2035
02:59:22,587 --> 02:59:24,851
Some tried to convince him
to move quickly.
2036
02:59:25,023 --> 02:59:28,584
But another counseled,
"Wait. Wait...
2037
02:59:28,760 --> 02:59:30,421
...until you have your men gathered.
2038
02:59:30,595 --> 02:59:34,088
Your father is an old, wounded bear...
2039
02:59:34,265 --> 02:59:39,203
-...hiding in the brush. Surround him."
-How do you know that?
2040
02:59:39,370 --> 02:59:40,895
The runner just brought the word.
2041
02:59:41,072 --> 02:59:44,838
Because I Ieft good friends
behind me in Jerusalem...
2042
02:59:45,009 --> 02:59:47,410
...to counsel my son.
2043
02:59:47,579 --> 02:59:51,914
Oh, Iord, you are a fox.
2044
02:59:52,083 --> 02:59:54,745
A serpent.
2045
02:59:54,919 --> 02:59:57,479
Let your enemy be a fool.
2046
02:59:57,655 --> 03:00:00,784
We'II divide the force
into three parts.
2047
03:00:01,326 --> 03:00:03,454
You will command the Ieft...
2048
03:00:03,628 --> 03:00:07,656
...the mercenaries from the Negev,
and the Philistines on the right.
2049
03:00:08,566 --> 03:00:11,058
And I will Iead the center.
2050
03:00:12,937 --> 03:00:14,302
No, Iord, you will not.
2051
03:00:14,906 --> 03:00:19,605
You will not be at the battle.
Battles are in the hands of Yahweh.
2052
03:00:19,911 --> 03:00:21,970
If we run before Absalom's 12,000...
2053
03:00:22,147 --> 03:00:24,206
...then some will die
and the war will go on.
2054
03:00:24,382 --> 03:00:26,908
But if you are killed
in the first charge...
2055
03:00:27,085 --> 03:00:29,315
...stow the Iucky arrow...
2056
03:00:29,487 --> 03:00:31,819
...then the war is over...
2057
03:00:31,990 --> 03:00:34,755
...and your enemy is king.
2058
03:00:37,262 --> 03:00:39,230
Not my enemy.
2059
03:00:41,232 --> 03:00:43,530
He is my son.
2060
03:00:45,837 --> 03:00:49,000
Do you remember the prophet...
2061
03:00:50,041 --> 03:00:52,874
...when he spoke
in the voice of Yahweh?
2062
03:00:53,444 --> 03:00:57,574
I will raise up evil against you
out of your own house.
2063
03:00:57,749 --> 03:01:01,549
Lord, I have nothing to do with priests
and prophets.
2064
03:01:01,753 --> 03:01:05,280
But Absalom
will cross the Jordan tomorrow.
2065
03:01:09,394 --> 03:01:12,659
In the battle,
deal gently for my sake...
2066
03:01:12,830 --> 03:01:14,958
...with the young man.
2067
03:01:16,601 --> 03:01:17,625
With Absalom.
2068
03:02:44,889 --> 03:02:47,415
Lord, all is well.
2069
03:02:47,592 --> 03:02:51,187
BIessed by Yahweh, our God,
who struck down all those...
2070
03:02:51,362 --> 03:02:54,263
...who sought to raise their hand
against the king, our Iord.
2071
03:02:54,432 --> 03:02:56,161
Is it...
2072
03:02:57,669 --> 03:03:00,730
...well with the young man,
Absalom?
2073
03:03:04,275 --> 03:03:06,266
Is it well with the young man,
Absalom?
2074
03:03:09,881 --> 03:03:10,905
Absalom.
2075
03:03:13,084 --> 03:03:15,576
Lord,
Yahweh has avenged you today...
2076
03:03:15,753 --> 03:03:18,085
...against all those who rose up
against you.
2077
03:03:18,723 --> 03:03:20,555
Absalom.
2078
03:03:21,192 --> 03:03:23,957
At the enemies of my Iord,
the king...
2079
03:03:24,495 --> 03:03:27,328
...and all those who rise up
against you...
2080
03:03:29,167 --> 03:03:31,158
...be as that young man is.
2081
03:03:31,336 --> 03:03:34,636
Oh, Absalom!
2082
03:03:36,407 --> 03:03:38,375
Oh, my son.
2083
03:03:40,912 --> 03:03:43,006
Absalom.
2084
03:03:46,818 --> 03:03:48,718
My son.
2085
03:03:52,023 --> 03:03:54,720
My son, Absalom.
2086
03:04:02,867 --> 03:04:05,393
Would I have died for you?
2087
03:04:12,143 --> 03:04:13,872
My son.
2088
03:04:16,881 --> 03:04:18,906
My son.
2089
03:04:22,687 --> 03:04:24,587
My son.
2090
03:04:53,751 --> 03:04:55,276
Lord.
2091
03:04:57,688 --> 03:04:59,486
Who's there?
2092
03:05:00,658 --> 03:05:02,683
Bathsheba.
2093
03:05:08,466 --> 03:05:09,991
What do you want?
2094
03:05:10,168 --> 03:05:12,500
Lord, would you speak with me?
2095
03:05:12,670 --> 03:05:15,537
Go. Go.
2096
03:05:21,746 --> 03:05:23,339
Beautiful child.
2097
03:05:23,514 --> 03:05:25,744
What? Oh, yes.
2098
03:05:26,384 --> 03:05:29,945
Oh, I feel cold. I'm always cold.
2099
03:05:30,822 --> 03:05:33,883
They sent her to me for sure...
2100
03:05:34,058 --> 03:05:35,651
...and...
2101
03:05:35,827 --> 03:05:38,194
...yes, it is for sure.
2102
03:05:38,362 --> 03:05:40,330
Beautiful.
2103
03:05:41,232 --> 03:05:43,530
Do you remember, Iord?
2104
03:05:45,703 --> 03:05:47,797
When I was young...
2105
03:05:49,106 --> 03:05:51,871
...I was not as thin as this Yemenite.
2106
03:05:52,043 --> 03:05:54,068
Not as pale.
2107
03:05:54,579 --> 03:05:58,379
You were the color of the stones
of Jerusalem when the sun sets...
2108
03:05:58,549 --> 03:06:01,951
...across the valley of Kidron.
2109
03:06:02,887 --> 03:06:04,252
Golden.
2110
03:06:04,422 --> 03:06:07,483
Do you remember
what you said to me, Iord?
2111
03:06:09,460 --> 03:06:12,361
"Do you wonder why I sent for you?"
2112
03:06:13,931 --> 03:06:15,797
And I said
2113
03:06:16,801 --> 03:06:19,793
"I am your handmaiden, Iord."
2114
03:06:22,673 --> 03:06:24,368
Lord...
2115
03:06:24,542 --> 03:06:26,567
...I'm afraid for my child.
2116
03:06:26,744 --> 03:06:30,942
They cannot touch him.
I am the king.
2117
03:06:32,383 --> 03:06:34,977
I will bring your husband
from Rabbah.
2118
03:06:35,820 --> 03:06:37,845
No one will know.
2119
03:06:38,756 --> 03:06:42,989
Lord, Uriah the Hittite
has been dead 25 years.
2120
03:06:46,030 --> 03:06:47,828
I know.
2121
03:06:48,866 --> 03:06:50,391
Lord...
2122
03:06:50,568 --> 03:06:53,970
...do you remember when you wept
on my breast for our firstborn...
2123
03:06:54,138 --> 03:06:55,731
...and I said
2124
03:06:55,907 --> 03:06:58,205
"You will have another son."
2125
03:06:58,643 --> 03:07:00,441
He is Solomon...
2126
03:07:00,611 --> 03:07:02,670
...your son.
2127
03:07:02,847 --> 03:07:04,372
And I am afraid for him.
2128
03:07:06,984 --> 03:07:11,285
-Why?
-Oh, Iord, Iive forever, but you are old.
2129
03:07:11,455 --> 03:07:14,447
Your power slips
from the weak hand.
2130
03:07:14,759 --> 03:07:16,523
I am still the king.
2131
03:07:17,161 --> 03:07:20,187
Your war chief is in the house
of your son, Adonijah.
2132
03:07:20,698 --> 03:07:22,462
Joab.
2133
03:07:22,633 --> 03:07:24,897
He goes to power
Iike an ant to honey.
2134
03:07:25,570 --> 03:07:27,800
Adonijah calls himself king.
2135
03:07:29,574 --> 03:07:34,808
Adonijah calls himself king
while I am still alive?
2136
03:07:34,979 --> 03:07:36,777
Lord, did you not know?
2137
03:07:36,948 --> 03:07:41,044
Did you not say, "Adonijah will rule
after me and sit upon my chair?"
2138
03:07:41,218 --> 03:07:43,050
No, no.
2139
03:07:43,220 --> 03:07:48,659
I will say who will rule after me,
and who will sit on the chair of David.
2140
03:07:49,527 --> 03:07:51,052
Guard.
2141
03:07:51,829 --> 03:07:54,127
Bring me Nathan the prophet...
2142
03:07:54,298 --> 03:07:58,064
...and Zadok the priest and Benaiah,
the commander of the guard...
2143
03:07:58,235 --> 03:07:59,669
...and Solomon.
2144
03:07:59,837 --> 03:08:03,774
I want my son, Solomon.
2145
03:08:09,213 --> 03:08:12,012
And, Solomon, my son.
2146
03:08:12,683 --> 03:08:15,948
Ride upon my own horse
to Gideon...
2147
03:08:16,554 --> 03:08:19,148
...and Iet Nathan the prophet...
2148
03:08:19,323 --> 03:08:25,421
...and Zadok the priest
anoint him their king of Israel.
2149
03:08:26,964 --> 03:08:30,457
And sound the horn and say
2150
03:08:30,635 --> 03:08:33,070
"After David...
2151
03:08:34,438 --> 03:08:38,875
...Solomon shall be king."
2152
03:08:51,389 --> 03:08:53,289
Joab...
2153
03:08:53,457 --> 03:08:55,391
...you know what he did?
2154
03:08:55,559 --> 03:08:57,357
Abner...
2155
03:08:58,429 --> 03:09:01,592
...Absalom, your brother.
2156
03:09:04,068 --> 03:09:06,332
Kill Joab.
2157
03:09:06,504 --> 03:09:08,996
He is in the house of Adonijah...
2158
03:09:09,173 --> 03:09:10,902
...and you will not be safe.
2159
03:09:11,075 --> 03:09:14,045
He has taught me this.
2160
03:09:15,579 --> 03:09:18,412
If Joab was Solomon...
2161
03:09:18,582 --> 03:09:22,246
...he would kill Joab.
2162
03:09:31,562 --> 03:09:33,997
Solomon, my son.
2163
03:09:36,467 --> 03:09:39,926
I go the way of all earth.
2164
03:09:41,539 --> 03:09:45,840
Keep the Iaw of Yahweh
and his commandments...
2165
03:09:46,010 --> 03:09:49,571
...that are written
in the Iaw of Moses.
2166
03:09:52,249 --> 03:09:54,343
Be strong.
2167
03:09:56,387 --> 03:09:58,788
Show yourself...
2168
03:09:59,690 --> 03:10:01,590
...a man.
