Who is he?

- He is Samuel the prophet.
- That old man in those clothes is Samuel?

He is the only man of
whom Saul is afraid.

Your Majesty. The prophet Samuel
is coming into the court.

Samuel.

You've always been a
stranger to our court.

We bid thee welcome

Who is that man?

- He is Captain of Hosts. His name is Abner
- Saul will have him as councilor of court

And these, are they the
sons of Saul then?

Jonathan, Jishvi, ish-besob.

His sons.

His sons.

When I grew old, I
made my sons judges..

..for I had judged Israel
all the days of my life.

But my sons would not walk in God's
but to bribe prejudice judgement.

And the elders of Israel came to
me, and he did say unto me...

...give us a King to judge us..

Like all the nations. A king....

...and I prayed to the Lord...

and He said....

The people of Israel have not
rejected thee, but rejected me...

The Lord God...they have forsaken
me and served other Gods.

So they do also unto thee, Samuel. Now therefore
they must have a king to reign over them.

So spoke the Lord to me in
the darkness of my heart.

and I told his words, to all
of thee, who asked for a King.

..and I said, this King
will take your sons.

..and he will set them to reap his
harvests, to make his instruments of war

but he will take your fields and your
vineyards and give them to his servants.

And ye shall all cry out on
that day, because of your King.

But ye would not hear me.

But we will have a King,
like all the nations.

A king to judge us and
to fight our battles.

The Lord told me in my ear.

I will send thee a man
of the land of Benjamin.

And thou shall anoint him King
over the people of Israel

and he shall save them out of
the hands of the Philistines.

Saul...

When I saw thee, the
Lord said unto me.

behold of a man, who shall
reign over my people.

Samuel...

Of all in His will, thou
art beloved of the Lord.

We honor Samuel, of course.

But the last of the great judges have not
called up the whole court of the kingdom...

only to tell us the old story,
that all of us know so well.

Saul. I will tell thee
what thou does not know.

I will tell thee what the
Lord said to me last night.

Leave us.

Speak

The glory of Israel is departed
from the ark of God is taken.

In all of my Kingdom Samuel, everyone is aware that the
Ark of the Convenent is in the hands of the enemy.

This was a needful sacrifice not to be avoided
with making our peace with the Philistines.

Saul, when the Ark was taken from thee, the Lord has
raked the Kingdom of Israel from thee on that day.

Pay no heed to him Sire.

Samuel is old beyond
the years of wit.

Old indeed....

and near to death Saul

Yet last night, the word of
the Lord came to me again.

Leave us.

Samuel...

What said the Lord unto thee?

The Lord said..

It repentive Me
that Saul is King..

for he have turned back from following
me and broken my commandments..

Thus speak the Lord and it grieved me
and I cried to the Lord all night...

and when he answered
me he said....

How long would thou mourn the fall, seeing how
I have rejected him from reigning over Israel.

Am I not King?

Look with thine eyes Samuel.

Do I not sit before thee...

on the throne of Israel.

The Lord said..

I have provided me a King.

Another?

Thou art a goodly
young man Saul.

There was not among all the children
in Israel a goodlier person than thou.

When thou were little in thy own eyes, did I not make thee head of
the tribes of Israel. And did not the Lord anoint thee to be King?

I have obeyed the laws.

I have followed the ritual.

Thou art a rebel in
thine heart Saul.

The law has made an
insurrection against God.

Because thou has rejected the Lord, he
has also rejected thee from being King.

Samuel...

If I have sinned...

If I have transgressed the
commandment of the Lord..

and thy words

it is because I
feared the people.

And obeyed their voice.

Samuel...

Who is he?

Who is that man, who shall
be King of Israel after me?

The Lord said to me....

Look not upon his height.

..for the Lord seeth
not how men seeth.

One pure in heart.

Who is he?

Before I die, it has been given to me to anoint
one King who shall be chosen from Bethlehem.

And the spirit of the Lord shall
be on him from that day forward.

Who is that man?

I have not come to thee with
prophecies but to bid thee farewell.

The Lord hath
departed from thee.

And evil spirit hath
made its home in thee.

I shall come no
more to this hall.

Nevertheless, I mourn for thee.

David.

- Wonderful David.
- Hekla.

I have been awaiting thee Hekla.

The last born, does
he please thee.

Ey! He is beautiful.
Make him walk.

No he's too little.

- Oh come now, let's put him down.
- No David, I don't think he's grown enough for that.

- See how he walks?
- Look, he goes to his mother.

He's very funny.

Look at him.

- Come Hekla
- Close thine eyes.

- Why?
- Now David, no questions.

Open them.

Tis beautiful Hekla,
I'm in need of it.

I thank thee. I must
try it right away.

Stay here and watch.

Why art thou sad now?

I had a very bad dream.

Thou should not think of it.

Don't laugh David. I dreamed that l had
been taken far from thee, very far

No one could ever
separate us, beloved.

- Oh would what thou sayeth were true.
- Thou should trust me.

The same way I trust my sling.
Watch this.

If I do not slice that tree,
thou dream will come true.

No wait.

David, I'm so afraid.

Why art thou afraid,
I am here with thee.

Thine eyes frighten me
sometimes, my love.

But were thee otherwise, perhaps
I would not love thee as I do.

- Does thou love me truly.
- Why does thou ask?

Please forgive me Abner.

Often times, I think that the advantages of courting a King's
daughter, might well be the only source of thy feelings.

It will not be easy to carry out
our plans, if you have such doubts

I love thee Abner, I shall help
thee realize thine ambitions.

Our ambitions.

Nevertheless, it will be
an arduous undertaking.

Not for the Captain of the Host of
Israel or the daughter of Saul.

There will be many hinderances.

- They will not be difficult.
- I am certain Abner.

My father, be not
fearful of him.

A quick victory of the Philistines
was indeed a terrible blow to him.

I with my great Host, will
pass over the land of Saul.

The land of Saul.

Our last victory over Israel was not complete,
because I did not slaughter that old imbecile.

But out new invasion will be the end of Saul,
and thou shall be the new King of Israel.

Remember when old Saul was my captive? It
was thee who asked me to spare his life.

What did we keep as our spoils?

The Sacred Ark.

But now, I want much
more than that.

Now I will have
Old Saul's blood.

Each one of ye shall rule over
the land ye have conquered.

Aye, as Kings.

As monarchs governing by
our laws and rituals.

....ye shall command absolute obedience.
Receive tribute and pass judgement.

Yet none of thee shall ever forget,
that I shall remain your King.

The King of Kings!

These few days have
passed so swiftly, David.

My turn to plow will
pass swiftly too.

- And thou will think of thy glad?
- Thou art asked me that?

I shall be without
thee for so long.

- Art thou afraid?
- No David, with thee, not!

And in a storm, if I
were not with thee?

- Then I should be afraid.
- But I should run to thee, wherever thy were.

- Truly?
- Yes truly.

-And if it were raining very hard?
- Of course, even if there was to be another flood.

Thou art so kind to me David.

- But David, I must go now.
- Please Hekla, don't go now , it rains still

- I must not darry, it's late.
- Don't go.

Why Lord? Why my Lord?

Thy hope is a vain one Father.

I know better what I do, than
one who attacks innocents.

David. The Lord alone knows the
scope of His own deeds on earth.

And there remains not else for us
to do, save to yeild to his will.

But the death of my Hekla. This
has destroyed my life, father.

God, by this deed, has only
destroyed your mortal love, David.

But also rendered thy love more beautiful,
for he makes of it a spiritual thing.

Thou shall love another time, thou shall see and then this will
indeed comfort thee. It will comfort thee to think of Hekla.

Pardon me, father.

It is of the Lord, thou
shall ask pardon, not me.

And I pray to the Lord, that
He will give thee pardon.

King, the agility and power of the Persian
chariots have inspired this model.

The chariot is drawn by four horses and is
entirely armoured with leather and bronz.

Here and here. These lances
will revolve like so many sides

-And wreak havoc.
- Then thou thinketh we are invincible?

Oh, no question my Lord.

But the most powerful weapon
that I know, is an enormous man.

But the most powerful weapon
that I know, is an enormous man.

He dwelleth in the caves, beyond the town of
Gath, refusing all commerce with the world.

A human weapon that would so fierce
set panic in the enemy ranks.

When he is unleashed,
he cannot be stopped.

And who is this man?

His name is Goliath.

Who is able to enroll such
a monster in my ranks?

A petty cut-throat. A rascal named Kreb.
He is waiting without, my Lord.

Show him in.

Glory to be, oh King
of the Philistines.

Art thou Kreb? Yes, oh flaming, torch of my
life, flaming paragon of all our virtues.

Thou art the most powerful, the
most generous and the most....

Enough!

-Enough! -He is my friend, he
does all that I bid him too.

I want thee to bring him here.

Bring him to the feast
of the God Dagon.

If he is, as my Captain says, I shall
give thee they weight in gold.

Oh, but I'm very heavy.
As heavy as a camel.

Out with him.

Goliath.

Goliath. Where art thou?

Goliath, it's Kreb,
thy friend, Kreb.

it's Kreb, thy friend, Kreb.

My brother and friend,
friend and brother.

At last I see thee again,
after all these months.

Greetings to thee Goliath,
from thy humble servant.

How many times I have thought of thee. I have jealously
cherished in my soul, the recollection of thy affection for me.

And now, at long last, I stand before thee, and now
I can greet thee as a flaming paragon of my life.

You are the only comfort
of my tormented existence.

How can I thank thee Goliath?

But first of all, lit me pay tribute to
thee with a tiny word of modest praise.

hou art invincible Goliath, everyone knows
thou art the strongest man in the world.

No, no don't kill me.

Don't snuff out the wretched
existence of thy only friend.

Have I not always brought thee gold? And wait
til thou sees the gold I shall get this time.

There's enough to fill thy cave.

Thou will always be my
best friend Goliath.

I had better tell thee the reason
why I came here to see thee.

The King has sent me to see thee. He
is mustering men for a great war.

If thou agrees to fi ght for him, he
will give thee all the gold of his iris.

And that's not all, there's more. There will
also be the King's personal presence to you.

The most beautiful girls in the court.Say
it with thou will Goliath, thou must!

The most beautiful girls.

Oh Mighty King!

I have brought thee Goliath.

Bring the rock of Samson.

This stone has never been lifted aloft by one man,
since the distance days when Samson himself lifted it.

This will be the true
test of thy strength.

And the Lord said onto Samuel,
fill thy horn with oil and gold.

I will send thee to
Jesse, the Bethlhemite.

For I have provide Me a
King, among his sons.

To save Israel out of the
hands of the Philistines.

Samuel.

I greet thee wife of Jessie.

The Lord has chosen one,
from amongst thy sons.

And I am come to fi nd him
and the Lord shall name him.

This is Eliab, our
first born son.

The Lord said: Look not upon his height, nor his
contenance, for the Lord sees, not as man sees.

If the foreordained of the Lord is
here, it could only be this one.

Neither is he the one
the Lord has chosen.

Neither is he the one
the Lord has chosen.

Thou art certain, that thou has
shown all the children of Jessie?

- Blessed be thou, Samuel.
- Jessie.

- Thou has here all thy children?
- David.

All accept my youngest son.
Here he is. David.

This is he.

David, son of Jessie.

The Lord has appointed thee to
be Prince over his inhabitants.

Thou art troubled
in thy heart David?

It is true. I am troubled.

It is written: Who knows what is good for a man
in his life, in all the days of his earthly....

..... life which he
spent as a shadow?

For who can tell a man, what shall
be art to him under the sun.

We know that thou art
a Prophet Samuel.

That which ye have been already, and
everything to be, hath already been.

And God seeks again, that
which has been passed away.

It is also written, far better
the poor but wise youth

than an old and foolish king.

If thou thus speaks about me Samuel,
it is true, I am indeed poor.

- But wise.
- I shall come to thee again...

...for the Lord has told me..

....that I am to
annoint me King.

Did you say "King" Samuel?'

Yes Jessie. It is not the son
of Saul, but you Son David...

....who shall be called by God
to reign as King in Israel.

But of the great events that await thee in the
future David thou must not ever speak to any man.

These things must all be kept secret.
Forget it not!

Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, for
God has already accepted thy works.

The Spirit of the Lord shall be
upon thee from this day forward.

David.

Sarah, what art thou doing here?
Thou should sleep now.

I could not.

- Art thou leaving?
- I am going now.

- Then I will wake father and mother.
- No, no Sarah, don't!

- No, please say farewell to them for me.
- But may I not come with thee?

No, not now Sarah. But I
shall return.....soon.

I shall wait.

Thy will be done oh Lord.

Thy servant has left his loved ones, so that he may
devote his life to serving his people of Israel.

May thy servant prove
worthy of this mission.

With thy help.

Many trials await thee David, but
with thy faith, thou shall be strong.

Thy departure in days to come, will
bring great joy to your loved ones.

In three days and nights, thou
shall have reached Jerusalem.

Help a poor blind man. Help me!

Have pity on me.

The finest snakes in Israel

The most beautiful snakes in Israel.
Two shakkels.

I have slaves for sale.

Slaves from Moab.
Cheap at 30 shakkels.

In the fields, they can pull plows better than
oxen, and you can feed them for much less.

They're cheap at 30 shakkels.

It's like giving them away.
What say thou?

Fine. Unyoke them quick
and give them to him.

Go you are free!

Thou buy slaves,
to set them free?

And none of thee
touch them either.

- Thank you kind Lord.
- Thank you.

Help!

Oh, help me!

Why are these men
being punished?

Because they had rebelled
against Saul's Captain

.... and they are condenmed to die in
this place of thirst. They are my sons.

In three days, they'd not
had a drop of water.

Why should they let them die like this?
How can the Lord permit this?

Look at that.

Water......give me water...

They will kill you.
You must go, please.

Drink. Do not be afraid.

Jerusalemites! Why are you the
curse of your own people.

You are prey to godliness,
wickedness and cowardness.

Ye have trampled our
laws under foot...

Ye have trampled our
laws under foot...

Why?

The Spirit of Evil is in thee.

Yet the Spirit of Evil is stronger
than those who govern thee.

Saul!

Thou art to blame for it.

Thy corruption and perverted ways of
living have made thee an evil man.

It has destroyed the
good life in us.

Rise against the false liberties, which
the tyrannts of Israel have given you.

I say you will remain prisoners of your evil
spirits, if you do not find in your hearts.....

.....the strenght to rebel
and redeem yourselves.

Damn shall ye be that still remain
in the bottomless chasm of sin.

I come to arrest this man.

This man is under our protection.
Come shepard, into the house of God.

Miserable shepard.

Telling the people to
rise against their King.

Father, thou should not fret too much over all
this, nor exaggerate all the importance of it.

- Exaggerate thou say?
- Yes.

A shepard dares to accuse
a King of Israel.....

and moreover receive the protection of our own High Priests.
Are we to attach no importance to this?

Have you all forgot?

Have you all, so soon, forgot?

The last prophecy of Samuel.

For he did not speak of ye, my sons.........
He did not say one of them....

Not.......not once Jonathan.

When I die he said.

When I die, it will be
given to me to.....

.....annoint one King.

Your Majesty....

Your Majesty....

..first to reign in Israel, he chose a warrior.
This David is a mere boy.

-I want him brought to me.
- But this is impossible father.

- He's in the priest's care.
- Yes, the High Priests protect him.

Protect him from what?

- I want this David brought to me.
- How shall we do it father?

- By force?
- I have commanded you to do it.

Sire, leave this matter to me.

No, if I leave it to thee Abner,
I will not leave him alone....

.....to all the others, thieves,
criminals, to feed the vultures..

and the royal orchards.

No, first I will
see him alive.....

...I would talk
with this shepard.

Bring him to me.

Father may well be right. This young
shepard may have things to tell us.

What does thou think Abner?

What I may think,
is not thy concern.

I apologize for having put a
question to the Captain of our Host.

There is far too much stirring
among the people now.

I would not have this David sow more
trouble in the soul of my father.

Already vexed by the
prophecy of Samuel.

So thou too, fear this David?

I fear no man.

But I am tired of the evil
spirit of these false prophets.

- Were I only King of Israel.
- And thou shall be.

Thou shall sit on
this throne one day.

I tell thee, it is no desire of mine to
advocate rebellion against Royal Authoritie

I am not at odds with the laws of
Israel, nor the rule of my King.

Does thou mean that it is no longer
permissible to speak ones own mind?

By stirring up the people, thou has gone
against the supreme authority of Israel.

I have seen fights and
corruption arise everywhere.

Wherefore I said,
which I have said.

The insolence of this shepard,
is an afront to the court.

Did David not make clear, the reason
why he behaved the way he did?

I believe that we should
hear David further.

Unless of course, it
does displease thee.

I will have an opinion on one
matter, from this wise shepard.

This is ridiculous.

To seek the council of a shepard, one might
as well seek the judgement of the people.

This wretched shepard is not here
to judge us, but to be judged.

As one of the respected coucillors of Israel,
Benjamin is fully entitled to speak here.

- So, if it please thee, thou shall put thy question to David.
- I thank thee Princess.

There is one clause in the peace, which
we made with the Philistines....

.......putting a limit on
the making of weapons.....

....and stating that only our officers
and palace guards may bear arms.

David, son of Jessie, what think
thou of these limitations.

My Prince. To my mind, there is
not one way to solve that....

Tis shameful to ask a shepard to solve
riddles, which concern only rulers.

We will hear this shepard.

Leave us.

Leave us, I say.

Does thou believe in omens?

There, above our head,
sits the bird of night.

There, above our head,
sits the bird of night.

David of Bethlehem.....

David of Bethlehem.

Thou has grieveously offended
me in public, I am aware of it.

I have a mighty heart...

Speak now about peace
with the Philistines.

Your Majesty......

The treaty limits the use of weapons to the offi
cers of our Host and guards of the Palace....

It is true, that it is only
my officers and guards.....

.....that bear weapons.

So then?

But the treaty has put no limit on the
number of officers and guards thou may have.

David, thou has sharp wits. I have
heard much of thine sharp wits.

Yet, I cannot hate thee.
Come. Come here.

Come nearer to me.

Come, David of Bethlehem.

- Drink.
- I am not thirsty, Your King.

Thou may choose either cup and
I will drink from the other.

No, I will drink from both.
They are not poisoned.

I have sent out my servants, to the
markets and to the countryside....

I've inquired about thee, David of Bethlehem.
I hear that....

thou art a wiley hunter and
cunning hands for music.

Will thou play for me David?

Will thou stay and
sing thine songs......

...to make my spirit
well again, David?

I shall obey thee Oh King.

Thou shall obey me...

Thou shall stay in my palace.

Thou shall remain with me.

David of Bethlehem.

The sway of David over thine
father waxes greater everyday.

We shall find a way to make
him powerless before long.

I hope so. But I am troubled most of
all, by the ways of thine sister.

- Think thou that she may cause vextation?
- If David were to fall in love with her, yes.

- Oh, I have a watchful eye, Abner.
-That cursed shepard.

And now the people
praise him to the skies.

If he remains at court, our
plans will surely be in danger.

- Somedays it's clear to me, what
David covets. -What is that?

The throne of Israel. Thou has
forgotten the prophet of Samuel?

His spell is already on my sister,
and on my brethern, not on me!

Calm thyself Abner.

For thine apprehensions
are excessive.

Bow Saul.

Bow to the victorious hero
of a hundred battles.

Thou has suffered
thine first defeat.

Why?

Because thou art no longer
the soul of yesteryear.

The Saul who was beloved of
all the people of Israel.

The Saul who was
feared by his enemies.

The Saul, of whom my father
Jessie, often spoke.

Oh Lord, help him.
Forsake him not.

And defer that day that he
will no longer be King.

Restore to him, his wisdom
and thine protection.

I beg of thee.

David.

What art thy doing, all alone
here, in the throne room?

Nothing, my Princess.

I was seeking thee David. My father awaited thee in his quarters.
He is weary and would hear thine songs again.

- I shall go forth, my Princess.
- My name is Michel.

I thank thee.....Michel.

I rejoice that thou has made
my father calmer in spirit.

Thy sweet presence and counciil
are a very great help to him.

Were it not that it made its way into the minds of the
wise, my council would be gone on the wings of the wind.

That is true. But thou
were able to do more......

.......thy has made thy
way, into our hearts.

When I said the wise, the one
I truly had in mind was thee.

Go David. My father awaits thee.

Well done Jonathan! Thine arm
is a strong and steady one.

- Like unto the arm of Saul.
- He was a great King in his time.

But age is upon him. And with his
wits, he has also lost his strength.

He knows not, in which dire
straits, his realm is in now.

Look at me. I am compelled to hurl darts at
mere images of the foe, instead of......

...bearing arms, so as to wrestle the
sacred ark from those cursed Philistines.

Thus fear not Johnathan.

I tell thee that the day will indeed come,
and that day is not far removed either.

- The day will come, when the people of Israel will once more..
- David, thou speak as a prophet.

Long have I ceased
to hope anymore.

Thou art wrong Johnathan. I
have not spoken as a prophet.

But as a man.

A man who has faith and devine justice
and is ready to serve its cause.

Even by main forces, tis needed?

Yes, I would even use force.

And this? How does
it serve thee?

This is a weapon of a prophet.
I will show thee.

In thine hands rests the
fate of Israel, Benjamin.

Saul trusts thy wisdom and
hence may be an adversary.

To redeem the authority of the King, the
sacred Ark must be returned to Jerusalem.

- Thou knows that there is unrest, that grips our land.
- I shall try not to deceive his faith.

Even were it to cost us all the gold in Israel.
Whatever is demanded by the Philistines.

- Promise it.
- I will do as thou say, Abner.

Listen carefull Lazar......

The Israelites are ready to pay, what thou wishes.
Provided thou returns their sacred Ark.

Abner, the Captain of their Host was my Lord also.
We'll send Benjamin as emmersary to thee.

Thou this emmersary is a wise man, and speaks
with a silver tongue, one needs not listen.

Tis my Lord Abner, who asks me to tell thee
that thou shall never hear him oh King.

The madness of this Saul...

...he dares ask for the Ark.

I shall take the Ark of Jerusalem
only when I have slain old Saul.

Send Goliath to the Oasis of Goth,
to lie in ambush for the emmersary.

And it is because of her that thou
must always carry this with thee?

Was she beautiful?

Yes, Michel.

A man seeks an ideal
in a woman's love.

In my eyes, Hekla was everything.
She was true perfection.

Her presence alone,
gladened my heart and soul.

So with such a memory as this..

..thou will not love
another woman easily.

I know not Michel.....

.....before I thought this was true.
But now... now, I am not certain.

The murder of Benjamin is
indeed a hard blow my King.

Israel will long mourn him.

He was one of Israels
greatest men.

This mishap may stir up the
feeling that we need a new king.

A new king to restore the good
name of a crown now scorned.

But this peril could
easily be avoided.

- How?
- By making David the adversary of the Philistine King.

David?

David is the only man, who has a
chance in succeeding in this mission.

He has already given sufficient
proof of his wisdom and cunning.

Very well, call him.

Thou has been helpful to
my father, the King....

....and thou art helpful to
me, I thank thee very much.

I am no more the sad and
lonely girl that I once was.

No, I am happy, but how
long will it last?

Michel...

It can last forever,
if thou will it.

David, son of Jessie.

King Saul will see thee.

Why art thou in my quarters?

Has thou finished thy sweet
trist with that shepard now?

That shepard is a
councillor in the court.

One who turns to the prophet of the evil
spirit dwelling in the King. Our own father.

What says thou?

That he is trying to strengthen his place
in court, and is using thee to do it.

How is it possible for
thee to say such things?

David is deserving of the esteem
of our people and of his King.

- He is worthy.
- And worthy also to have a royal Princess love him?

Surely. Were he to have a
royal Princess to love him.

Samuel is dead and all
his realm mourns.

They have bedded him
in his birthplace.

But the Philistines....

....they are gathering themselves
together, the Philistines

I have seen them.

I've seen the Host of them.

Now I am afraid and my
heart is greatly troubled.

When I enquired of the Lord...

....The Lord answered me not.

Neither by prophetcies...

Neither by prophetcies...

The Philistines gather
their army to battle.

There goes out a champion from
their camp, named Goliath.

Goliath, of Gath. Goliath whose
height is 6 cubits of despair.

He has a helmet of brass upon his head and his armor
the coat of nail and the weight of the coat is.....

5000 shakkels of brass. The shaft of
his spear is like a weavers beam.

And his spears head, weighs
600 shakkels of iron.

And this man has said....

....I defy the armies of Israel.

Give me a man...

...that we may fi ght together.

If I were that man.

Never.

Why am I not that man?

Thy has great confusion
in thy heart, David.

But thou must have no fear.

It is the will of God,
that guides thee.

He will give thou strength, so that
thou may return to his chosen people...

..the sacred Ark, the
symbol of Israel faith.

Go thy way David, son of Jessie.

And tremble not, in thine heart.

Aye Samuel.

David stay.

David, thou will be
slain, as was Benjamin.

I beg of thee, David stay!

Thou must not ask me to stay Michel.
Thou knows that I must go.

But if thou does not return.....

-Where are you going?
- Go no further my Lord.

A great misfortune has befallen us. The Philistines
are destroying everything. Tis the end of Israel.

Bau, return to Jerusalem
and warn the court.

The rest of you follow me.

The Philistines have
invaded Israel.

Tis war!

We of Israel, have done not to
bring about this grievous event.

A mercenary have
invaded our land.

They have already destroyed our outer
most cities and slaughtered our people

As the new moon rises, they will
be at the very gates of Jerusalem.

Johnathan, has thou forgotten that
Jerusalem is the heart of Israel?

And to leave it undefended might be a grievous error, for the
enemy has more than 10 fold of the total of all our forces.

Remember that another defeat,
may well be the last one.

No Isac. Fear. A
cursed shameful fear.

Gaze on it. It's
here among thee.

It fits like a shameful
mask on all your faces.

It is the same fear which prompted ye one day,
to betray my father Saul in another battle.

You went mad with fear and fled.
Cowards!

But there is no one who can stay that Host Johnathan.
This will be the end of us.

No, not yet.

The eyes of Ashdod will never come near
enough to see the city of King Saul.

It's for us to attack them!

The Host of Israel oh King.

This is madness.

Wherefore art thou not stayed
Johnathan, to defend Jerusalem?

David, my place is here.

I shall attempt the impossible;
to stem the Philistines.

But, it's suicide. Behold them.

The impossible is
for God to perform.

I shall go alone to Ashdod, to speak
with him, as I once did with Saul.

Who art thou?

David, son of Jessie.

David, son of Jessie?

The shepard David?

The renown of thy wisdom
has spread far and wide.

But it is useless.

Useless, stupid wisdom.

So it is in thee, that
the Israelites trust?

Thou art the one that calms
down that old fool Saul?

What does thou want?

I tell thee, in the name of the Lord,
to return to us the sacred Ark.

And not to pass with thy
host on the land of Israel.

Thou shepard...

...thy insolence has no limit.

hine Israelites have armed anew, despite
the peace which we made with them at Goth.

And thou asks me to keep
my host out of thine land?

I do not ask thee to keep it out. But
God wills it so, such as God's law.

Thou cannot destroy a
people that is defeated.

Such as God's law.

My only God is gold.

My only law is Goliath.

Defeat Goliath, and I
shall not destroy Israel.

David, son of Jessie.

Goliath.

Look at the sky Goliath. The
vultures are flying for thee.

Forward!

Stop. The King has been slain.
We have been defeated.

What are you doing here?
What is this?

What is this?

What is this? A target?

A wine skin? Are you rehearsing
the murder of your King?

No, the wine skin is
below the throne.

This is proof, that the man we would
kill, is thine enemy in thy very court.

I am very grateful.

I will now have you going and hold your tongues,
or I will have them cut out of your mouths.

Away with you, away.
Return not to Israel.

Abner, are you mad?

I told you to plan
this deed alone.

It is a secret,
known only to us.

A secret you understand.
From all Israel.

Abner!

Abner, Abner! I beg of you, listen to me.
Do not do this.

But it is now we must smytte him, for it
may well prove to be our last chance.

The people favor David. They
will rise and father...

Thy Father is agreed. Thou knows how he fears
David and when we are finished with him,...

...the people will bow down
to the will of the King.

No. Do not do this. Entrust
the task to others.

I must not. I will not have it go wrong.
I must do it myself.

Listen Abner. Let us forego all this.
Let us flee from here.

Oh, do not do this. I beg
of you, do not do it.

- Let me go!
- No.

There is no time to lose.

Abner...

Abner...

Now my father, thou art free.

Thou has slain
thine evil spirit.

No, he has slain Abner.

And the evil spirit in
Saul is still living.

It will perish only
with his death.

I know my destiny....

I know also the destiny of the
people of Israel. Take him away.

Glory to David! Hero of Israel.

-Long live David!
- Long live Saul.

King of Israel.

I have sinned David,
I admit that...

...l wanted to do thee harm.

But on this date, I saw what
is precious to mine eyes.

Michel.

Take thou my daughter, her will I give thee to wife.
Be thou vailant to Israel.

To fight the Lord's battles.

To fight the Lord's battles.

..for thou shall
do great things.
