1
00:00:20,188 --> 00:00:22,773
Saul and Jonathan
were swifter than eagles,

2
00:00:22,982 --> 00:00:24,567
fiercer than lions.

3
00:00:24,775 --> 00:00:26,944
In their death,
they were not divided.

4
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:30,948
Jonathan, you were
like a brother to me.

5
00:00:31,157 --> 00:00:35,786
Kill me!

6
00:00:35,995 --> 00:00:40,625
Beloved Saul,
you called me your son.

7
00:00:47,173 --> 00:00:50,092
When the Philistines
crushed your army,

8
00:00:50,301 --> 00:00:54,722
God made your crown
fall into my hands.

9
00:01:11,405 --> 00:01:12,573
After seven years in Hebron,

10
00:01:12,782 --> 00:01:15,284
My army and I
approached Jerusalem.

11
00:01:15,493 --> 00:01:18,079
Our numbers are too great
to stay here in Hebron.

12
00:01:18,287 --> 00:01:20,122
I have appealed
to the Jebusite people.

13
00:01:20,331 --> 00:01:23,125
To make their city
of Jerusalem our capital.

14
00:01:23,334 --> 00:01:25,127
They claim they can beat
back our armies

15
00:01:25,336 --> 00:01:28,005
with nothing but
the sick and the lame.

16
00:01:28,214 --> 00:01:30,883
What do you think?
Shall we test that boast?

17
00:02:08,045 --> 00:02:11,716
Look what becomes
of the well of Jerusalem.

18
00:02:25,521 --> 00:02:27,607
Tell your city elders
that their water supply.

19
00:02:27,815 --> 00:02:32,236
Is now in the hands of
King David of the Israelites.

20
00:02:45,541 --> 00:02:47,918
They've captured the well!

21
00:02:48,127 --> 00:02:50,296
...Well... Well... Well...

22
00:02:50,504 --> 00:02:52,632
You have a choice.

23
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,759
You can join us
and live in peace and security,

24
00:02:54,967 --> 00:02:57,428
Or you can oppose us
and die of thirst.

25
00:02:57,887 --> 00:03:00,306
Please.
Please, sir.

26
00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:03,309
Enter our city in peace.

27
00:03:19,575 --> 00:03:21,911
O my God,
you have made this city

28
00:03:22,119 --> 00:03:25,456
a blessing for your
faithful servant, David.

29
00:03:25,665 --> 00:03:28,042
Thank you for Jerusalem,

30
00:03:28,292 --> 00:03:30,586
a place where my wives
and children

31
00:03:30,795 --> 00:03:35,341
and all my once-weak and
scattered tribes can rest,

32
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:41,305
and live as a united nation
to serve you, o Lord.

33
00:03:58,989 --> 00:04:02,284
Lord, who am I
that you have brought me

34
00:04:02,493 --> 00:04:04,912
to this beautiful city...

35
00:04:05,121 --> 00:04:06,831
and this beautiful house?

36
00:04:10,751 --> 00:04:13,295
You know my heart, Lord.

37
00:04:13,504 --> 00:04:18,259
You know all the great things
you have done for me

38
00:04:18,467 --> 00:04:21,804
that I would know your will.

39
00:04:22,012 --> 00:04:27,017
We are your people forever,
Lord.

40
00:05:06,807 --> 00:05:10,478
From a humble shepherd, Lord,
you have lifted me up

41
00:05:10,686 --> 00:05:14,565
to be king over your city
and your people,

42
00:05:14,774 --> 00:05:16,484
as you did
for that humble farmer

43
00:05:16,692 --> 00:05:20,905
from the tribe of Benjamin,
the man named Saul.

44
00:06:26,512 --> 00:06:27,680
Father.

45
00:06:27,888 --> 00:06:29,139
The mules...

46
00:06:29,348 --> 00:06:30,933
they're gone.

47
00:06:36,522 --> 00:06:38,065
Abner, stay here.

48
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:41,360
Jonathan, come with me.
We'll get them back.

49
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:43,654
Are we being punished,
father?

50
00:06:43,821 --> 00:06:45,447
I don't know.

51
00:06:46,365 --> 00:06:47,950
I don't need to know.

52
00:07:22,067 --> 00:07:24,528
We're at the border
of Benjamite territory.

53
00:07:24,737 --> 00:07:26,238
If they're much further,
they're lost.

54
00:07:26,447 --> 00:07:27,740
I have faith the Lord

55
00:07:27,948 --> 00:07:29,658
wouldn't make us come
this far for nothing.

56
00:07:35,289 --> 00:07:36,832
Have you found
our animals in the town?

57
00:07:37,041 --> 00:07:38,709
No, master.

58
00:07:38,918 --> 00:07:41,378
But there is in the city
a man of God.

59
00:07:41,587 --> 00:07:42,755
An honorable man.

60
00:07:42,963 --> 00:07:45,174
What he says comes to pass.

61
00:07:45,382 --> 00:07:47,593
We've no gifts
for a holy man.

62
00:07:47,801 --> 00:07:49,929
I have this silver.

63
00:07:52,264 --> 00:07:54,308
Bless you, Jonathan.

64
00:07:56,435 --> 00:07:58,520
We'll go and see him tomorrow.

65
00:08:51,073 --> 00:08:52,866
We're looking
for lost mules.

66
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,579
Perhaps you're the man
who can help us.

67
00:08:57,788 --> 00:09:01,417
Come...
Up here with me.

68
00:09:01,625 --> 00:09:04,128
Don't concern yourself
about your mules.

69
00:09:04,336 --> 00:09:05,336
They've been found.

70
00:09:43,584 --> 00:09:45,794
Did you say our mules
had been found?

71
00:09:50,591 --> 00:09:53,218
Perhaps you know that
the tribes of Israel

72
00:09:53,427 --> 00:09:55,179
have decided to ask God
for a king.

73
00:09:55,387 --> 00:09:56,680
We've all heard it.

74
00:09:58,932 --> 00:10:00,768
I am the Lord's prophet,

75
00:10:02,061 --> 00:10:03,562
Samuel.

76
00:10:04,730 --> 00:10:08,484
And yesterday,
the Lord spoke to me

77
00:10:08,692 --> 00:10:13,072
and he said,
“Tomorrow, at about this time,

78
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,366
"you'll meet a man out of
the tribe of Benjamin.

79
00:10:18,285 --> 00:10:22,164
“Anoint him to be
the captain of my people,

80
00:10:22,372 --> 00:10:23,999
"and to save them
from the Ammonites

81
00:10:24,208 --> 00:10:25,292
and the Philistines."

82
00:10:34,593 --> 00:10:40,224
The Benjamites are the...
smallest tribe of Israel.

83
00:10:44,937 --> 00:10:48,148
My family is the least important
of all the Benjamin tribe.

84
00:10:48,357 --> 00:10:52,402
None of that matters now,
since the Lord is with you.

85
00:10:53,987 --> 00:10:56,490
You are the one on whom
all the hopes of Israel rest.

86
00:10:58,742 --> 00:11:03,872
On you,
and all your father's house.

87
00:11:25,394 --> 00:11:27,229
With his blessing,

88
00:11:27,437 --> 00:11:29,731
the Lord
has anointed you

89
00:11:29,940 --> 00:11:32,860
as prince
over all Israel.

90
00:11:33,068 --> 00:11:35,529
Listen to the word
of the Lord.

91
00:11:35,696 --> 00:11:38,198
Obey his commandments.

92
00:11:38,407 --> 00:11:40,868
Your enemies will flee,

93
00:11:41,076 --> 00:11:43,579
And your kingdom
shall prosper.

94
00:11:46,206 --> 00:11:47,791
Now rise
to your feet.

95
00:11:54,423 --> 00:11:57,801
I'm your humble servant,
my lord king.

96
00:12:02,097 --> 00:12:04,224
Hail King Saul.

97
00:12:06,351 --> 00:12:08,395
God bless him.

98
00:12:13,859 --> 00:12:17,279
The Lord has seen you
as fit to do a king's work.

99
00:12:17,487 --> 00:12:19,448
Trust him.

100
00:12:19,656 --> 00:12:21,909
Is that all?

101
00:12:22,117 --> 00:12:24,369
Today, after you depart
from me,

102
00:12:24,578 --> 00:12:26,163
You should travel
to Rachel's sepulcher.

103
00:12:26,371 --> 00:12:27,539
I know it.

104
00:12:27,748 --> 00:12:29,917
There you shall meet two men.

105
00:12:30,125 --> 00:12:30,918
They will show you

106
00:12:31,126 --> 00:12:34,338
that the mules
you went to seek are found.

107
00:12:36,632 --> 00:12:39,968
Then you shall come
to the plain of Tabor

108
00:12:40,177 --> 00:12:43,347
where you will meet three men
going up to God at Bethel.

109
00:12:43,555 --> 00:12:47,935
And they will gift you with
goats and bread and wine.

110
00:12:49,770 --> 00:12:53,815
And then you shall meet
a company of devout men

111
00:12:54,024 --> 00:12:56,193
coming from a high place.

112
00:13:09,831 --> 00:13:12,876
And the spirit of God
will come over you.

113
00:14:09,099 --> 00:14:11,143
God has given me
another heart.

114
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,607
What is my first task?

115
00:14:17,816 --> 00:14:20,068
To gather together the tribes,

116
00:14:20,277 --> 00:14:23,196
strike back at the Ammonites

117
00:14:23,405 --> 00:14:25,490
and win a war.

118
00:14:39,296 --> 00:14:42,174
God save King Saul!

119
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:44,551
God save King Saul!

120
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,262
God save King Saul!

121
00:14:47,471 --> 00:14:49,681
God save King Saul!

122
00:14:49,890 --> 00:14:51,850
Welcome, men!

123
00:14:52,059 --> 00:14:55,687
Welcome to the army
of Israel!

124
00:14:56,855 --> 00:14:59,900
I will give orders
to our forces

125
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:05,113
through my son,
Jonathan.

126
00:15:05,322 --> 00:15:07,074
And my nephew, Abner.

127
00:15:07,282 --> 00:15:08,909
And my lieutenant, Phineas.

128
00:15:09,117 --> 00:15:10,452
Our job now

129
00:15:11,536 --> 00:15:13,455
is to make weapons!

130
00:15:15,624 --> 00:15:19,127
We must make as many
weapons as possible.

131
00:15:19,336 --> 00:15:24,007
We must work as hard
as we possibly can.

132
00:15:25,967 --> 00:15:30,097
God doesn't want us to wave
our hands at the enemy.

133
00:15:33,683 --> 00:15:37,312
He wants us to be
as strong as we can

134
00:15:37,521 --> 00:15:40,899
so that we can defeat
our enemy!

135
00:15:41,108 --> 00:15:42,901
God bless Saul!

136
00:15:43,110 --> 00:15:44,778
God bless Saul!

137
00:15:44,986 --> 00:15:47,322
And the army of Israel!

138
00:16:46,131 --> 00:16:48,633
Stop!

139
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:59,644
Leave her be!
She's under my protection.

140
00:16:59,853 --> 00:17:00,896
Who are you?

141
00:17:01,062 --> 00:17:03,315
Not someone to answer
your questions.

142
00:17:04,232 --> 00:17:07,486
A while ago, you slaughtered
the men of this village.

143
00:17:07,652 --> 00:17:09,070
I warn you now.

144
00:17:10,405 --> 00:17:12,782
Give up hope
of getting these lands,

145
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,952
or any lands
belonging to Israel!

146
00:17:16,161 --> 00:17:17,787
Go back to where
you come from!

147
00:17:17,996 --> 00:17:20,665
What do we have here?
A Hebrew warrior?

148
00:17:20,874 --> 00:17:22,459
These are the words of the Lord.

149
00:17:32,093 --> 00:17:35,764
My name is Saul,
king of Israel.

150
00:17:35,972 --> 00:17:37,224
No!

151
00:17:50,195 --> 00:17:51,488
Samuel...

152
00:17:52,364 --> 00:17:53,949
What now?

153
00:17:54,157 --> 00:17:57,869
Now you'll take your army
to Gilgal.

154
00:17:58,078 --> 00:17:59,454
I'll join you there.

155
00:18:00,205 --> 00:18:03,583
You will wait for me
for seven days,

156
00:18:03,792 --> 00:18:05,001
and then I'll come
and tell you

157
00:18:05,210 --> 00:18:06,836
what you must do
for the Lord.

158
00:18:13,635 --> 00:18:15,595
Over this next ridge.

159
00:18:36,241 --> 00:18:38,451
My God.

160
00:18:49,379 --> 00:18:51,089
Fetch me a calf.

161
00:18:51,298 --> 00:18:53,341
I'll kill it
as a sacrifice.

162
00:18:53,550 --> 00:18:54,759
Very well,
Uncle.

163
00:18:55,802 --> 00:18:59,681
Father, be patient.
Wait for Samuel.

164
00:18:59,889 --> 00:19:02,392
If he's not here
to speak to God for me,

165
00:19:02,601 --> 00:19:04,894
I'll have to take care
of the matter myself!

166
00:19:11,026 --> 00:19:12,861
Right. Take the
animal and burn it.

167
00:19:13,069 --> 00:19:14,829
Can't we at least share
in the meat, my lord?

168
00:19:15,030 --> 00:19:16,531
Burn it!
Bring me the ashes!

169
00:19:20,327 --> 00:19:21,327
Saul!

170
00:19:21,453 --> 00:19:23,121
What are you doing?

171
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:25,790
I'm making
a sacrifice!

172
00:19:25,999 --> 00:19:29,044
My army's been bled
by deserters.

173
00:19:29,252 --> 00:19:32,631
The Philistines are massing
in great numbers.

174
00:19:32,797 --> 00:19:35,550
You were not here
to speak on my behalf!

175
00:19:35,759 --> 00:19:37,302
You were told to wait!

176
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:38,845
I had to do something!

177
00:19:39,054 --> 00:19:40,281
You've not obeyed
the commandments

178
00:19:40,305 --> 00:19:41,806
of the Lord God!

179
00:19:43,892 --> 00:19:47,312
He would have established
your kingdom forever!

180
00:19:49,981 --> 00:19:52,567
Samuel.

181
00:19:52,776 --> 00:19:54,527
Samuel, wait!

182
00:19:58,031 --> 00:20:01,201
Whatever the Lord asks of me,
I'll do it.

183
00:20:20,637 --> 00:20:25,850
A few miles south of here,
there is a camp of Amalekites.

184
00:20:26,059 --> 00:20:27,102
Since we were a nation,

185
00:20:27,310 --> 00:20:30,021
they are the most brutal
enemies of Israel.

186
00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:33,066
Their leader, Agag,
is a vicious murderer,

187
00:20:33,274 --> 00:20:34,693
a man of evil.

188
00:20:34,901 --> 00:20:38,488
God wants you to remove them.

189
00:20:43,284 --> 00:20:44,536
Jonathan!

190
00:20:45,870 --> 00:20:46,913
Fetch my armor!

191
00:20:47,122 --> 00:20:48,790
We march at once!

192
00:20:53,503 --> 00:20:57,424
Fix the armor!
Ready the spears!

193
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:00,343
And when I win
this battle,

194
00:21:00,552 --> 00:21:02,095
will I be restored
in the eyes of God?

195
00:21:02,303 --> 00:21:04,431
Do not even ask.

196
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:07,726
Simply do as God commands.

197
00:21:07,892 --> 00:21:11,396
Destroy the Amalekites
completely, Saul.

198
00:21:11,604 --> 00:21:15,942
Men, women, children,
cattle, everything.

199
00:21:50,977 --> 00:21:51,644
Great king,

200
00:21:51,853 --> 00:21:54,939
you have the field
and crushed my army.

201
00:21:55,148 --> 00:21:57,150
Surely, the bitterness
of death is past.

202
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:01,446
Why is this man
still alive?

203
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:03,865
Why have his cattle
been spared?

204
00:22:04,073 --> 00:22:08,411
My men are hungry.
They need meat.

205
00:22:08,620 --> 00:22:11,164
Agag is worth more to me
alive than dead.

206
00:22:11,331 --> 00:22:13,750
Trust me, Samuel.
It's for the best.

207
00:22:44,239 --> 00:22:45,365
My God.

208
00:22:47,659 --> 00:22:48,660
Oh, my God.

209
00:22:53,832 --> 00:22:57,669
I repent that I have
made Saul king.

210
00:22:59,087 --> 00:23:02,173
He has turned back
from following me,

211
00:23:02,382 --> 00:23:05,051
And has not performed
my commandments.

212
00:23:27,282 --> 00:23:28,867
Samuel...

213
00:23:30,076 --> 00:23:31,119
Greetings.

214
00:23:31,327 --> 00:23:32,370
Stop!

215
00:23:32,579 --> 00:23:34,873
I'll tell you
what God has said.

216
00:23:35,081 --> 00:23:36,082
Say on.

217
00:23:36,291 --> 00:23:38,626
When you were little,
in your own eyes,

218
00:23:38,835 --> 00:23:40,962
Were you not made
king of all Israel?

219
00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:42,170
I was.

220
00:23:42,297 --> 00:23:44,340
All God asked was that
you obey his commands.

221
00:23:44,549 --> 00:23:49,304
Instead, you're as rebellious
as some heathen witch.

222
00:23:49,512 --> 00:23:50,930
You reject the Lord.

223
00:23:51,139 --> 00:23:54,893
Now he'll reject you
and your kingdom.

224
00:23:55,101 --> 00:24:00,648
Samuel, if I've sinned,
it was to feed my army.

225
00:24:02,317 --> 00:24:05,570
All right.
All right, I've sinned.

226
00:24:05,778 --> 00:24:07,113
But, Samuel,
help me, please.

227
00:24:07,322 --> 00:24:10,199
Help me. Help me make this
right with God. Together.

228
00:24:10,408 --> 00:24:12,243
Together we'll make
a burnt offering.

229
00:24:12,452 --> 00:24:14,704
You think God cares
about burnt offerings?

230
00:24:14,913 --> 00:24:17,790
Or does He care that
his servant obey his word?

231
00:24:17,999 --> 00:24:20,960
You cannot bargain
with the God of Israel!

232
00:24:24,213 --> 00:24:28,217
As your sword has made
women childless,

233
00:24:28,426 --> 00:24:30,803
So shall your mother
be childless.

234
00:24:41,564 --> 00:24:44,359
No man has been given
what you have been given.

235
00:24:44,567 --> 00:24:46,235
To have handled it
so recklessly...

236
00:24:46,444 --> 00:24:47,487
You go too far.

237
00:24:47,695 --> 00:24:49,113
No, not far enough,
I'm afraid.

238
00:24:49,322 --> 00:24:51,783
Today, you've lost the kingdom
that God gave you.

239
00:24:52,617 --> 00:24:54,257
I'll go find someone better
to give it to.

240
00:24:54,452 --> 00:24:56,871
You'll not see me again
until the day you die!

241
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,081
No, Samuel.

242
00:24:58,289 --> 00:24:59,832
Samuel, no! Samuel, no!

243
00:25:00,041 --> 00:25:01,668
No, don't... don't...

244
00:25:01,876 --> 00:25:04,379
Samuel, don't go.

245
00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:08,466
Samuel.

246
00:25:16,933 --> 00:25:21,020
Samuel,
fill your horn with oil

247
00:25:21,229 --> 00:25:24,649
and set out for Bethlehem.

248
00:25:24,857 --> 00:25:28,277
There you will find a man
named Jesse.

249
00:25:28,486 --> 00:25:32,115
Among his sons,
there is a king.

250
00:25:40,081 --> 00:25:41,874
Thank you
for choosing our village.

251
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:43,793
To make a sacrifice.

252
00:25:44,002 --> 00:25:46,379
Your presence honors us.

253
00:25:46,587 --> 00:25:49,424
And your name
might be?

254
00:25:49,632 --> 00:25:51,384
I'm Jesse of Bethlehem.

255
00:25:52,677 --> 00:25:55,263
My sons and I would be honored
if you took supper with us.

256
00:25:56,514 --> 00:25:58,850
I'd like to meet your sons.

257
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,644
Will they all be there?

258
00:26:03,146 --> 00:26:06,274
Oh, yes.
They'll all be there.

259
00:26:21,998 --> 00:26:25,293
- My eldest is Eliab.
- Eliab.

260
00:26:25,501 --> 00:26:27,462
- Then Abinadab.
- Abinadab.

261
00:26:27,670 --> 00:26:30,423
- Shammah.
- Shammah.

262
00:26:30,631 --> 00:26:31,631
Joel.

263
00:26:31,758 --> 00:26:32,550
Joel.

264
00:26:32,759 --> 00:26:33,843
Nehemiah.

265
00:26:34,052 --> 00:26:35,094
Nehemiah.

266
00:26:35,303 --> 00:26:36,095
Seriah.

267
00:26:36,304 --> 00:26:37,096
Seriah.

268
00:26:37,305 --> 00:26:39,307
And Azariah.

269
00:26:39,515 --> 00:26:40,683
Azariah.

270
00:26:42,602 --> 00:26:44,645
A fine group.

271
00:26:53,613 --> 00:26:57,200
A fine group.
Strong, young men.

272
00:26:57,408 --> 00:26:58,409
You must be very proud.

273
00:27:03,956 --> 00:27:05,958
Is this all?
Are these all your sons?

274
00:27:06,167 --> 00:27:08,419
Oh, no.
My youngest and smallest

275
00:27:08,628 --> 00:27:10,963
stays out overnight
with the sheep.

276
00:27:11,964 --> 00:27:15,343
His name is... David.

277
00:27:19,931 --> 00:27:21,224
God bless you
and keep you.

278
00:27:21,432 --> 00:27:22,558
Thank you,
Jonathan.

279
00:28:28,291 --> 00:28:29,971
Goliath's killed
our best fighters already.

280
00:28:30,168 --> 00:28:31,460
You cannot go
into battle alone.

281
00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:32,709
I have to prove
to our army

282
00:28:32,795 --> 00:28:34,297
that I'm still
worthy to lead

283
00:28:34,505 --> 00:28:37,049
by cutting this
Philistine animal to pieces!

284
00:28:37,258 --> 00:28:38,551
Get my sword.

285
00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:40,469
Father, we cannot
afford to lose you.

286
00:28:40,678 --> 00:28:42,013
- My lord king.
- Huh?

287
00:28:42,221 --> 00:28:44,557
As your loyal servant,
I'll fight this Philistine.

288
00:28:46,684 --> 00:28:48,686
What are you gonna do, David?
Harp him to death?

289
00:28:48,895 --> 00:28:50,455
David, your loyalty
is admirable, but...

290
00:28:50,563 --> 00:28:51,772
David.

291
00:28:51,981 --> 00:28:54,859
Goliath is a warrior.
He's trained. He's strong.

292
00:28:55,026 --> 00:28:56,611
He's a killer.

293
00:28:56,819 --> 00:28:59,197
You have no experience
of such a fight.

294
00:28:59,405 --> 00:29:00,865
When I kept my father's sheep,

295
00:29:01,073 --> 00:29:03,242
a lion took a lamb
from the flock.

296
00:29:03,409 --> 00:29:06,662
I went out after him.
I killed it.

297
00:29:06,871 --> 00:29:08,080
I killed that lion.

298
00:29:09,832 --> 00:29:11,512
This Philistine will just be
another animal

299
00:29:11,626 --> 00:29:13,002
that I kill in the same way.

300
00:29:13,211 --> 00:29:15,504
That's what you called him.

301
00:29:15,713 --> 00:29:17,089
The Lord will protect me.

302
00:29:20,885 --> 00:29:22,345
You better take my armor.

303
00:29:26,098 --> 00:29:27,178
I do not know
how to use it.

304
00:29:27,308 --> 00:29:29,101
And what will you use
to kill Goliath?

305
00:29:29,310 --> 00:29:30,811
Harsh language?

306
00:29:35,566 --> 00:29:37,068
I will kill him.

307
00:29:48,246 --> 00:29:50,122
The Lord be with you.

308
00:31:26,969 --> 00:31:28,637
What's this?

309
00:31:28,846 --> 00:31:32,516
The Hebrews are sending
children to face me now?

310
00:31:32,725 --> 00:31:36,187
Go home.
I don't kill boys.

311
00:31:36,395 --> 00:31:38,773
And you're
not a man.

312
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,778
Come to me,
boy.

313
00:31:43,986 --> 00:31:46,364
I'll give your flesh
to the birds.

314
00:31:46,572 --> 00:31:48,949
And your bones to the dogs.

315
00:31:55,331 --> 00:31:56,499
Hey, boy!

316
00:31:56,999 --> 00:31:58,751
Are you too afraid to fight?

317
00:31:58,959 --> 00:32:01,295
You come armed
with a sword...

318
00:32:02,463 --> 00:32:05,007
But I come in the name
of the Lord of hosts,

319
00:32:05,216 --> 00:32:07,927
The God of the armies
of Israel.

320
00:32:11,847 --> 00:32:13,224
I'm going to kill you.

321
00:32:17,770 --> 00:32:19,897
It's your body
that the dogs will eat,

322
00:32:20,106 --> 00:32:23,901
And all the world will know
there is a God in Israel.

323
00:32:37,039 --> 00:32:38,165
My God.

324
00:33:02,148 --> 00:33:05,568
Make a joyful noise
unto God, all ye lands!

325
00:33:05,776 --> 00:33:09,280
Sing forth the honor
of His name!

326
00:33:09,488 --> 00:33:11,699
Through the greatness
of Thy power

327
00:33:11,907 --> 00:33:14,577
shall thine enemies
submit themselves unto Thee.

328
00:33:16,078 --> 00:33:17,496
You did it.

329
00:33:17,705 --> 00:33:19,832
God was with me.

330
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,794
David! David! David!

331
00:33:24,003 --> 00:33:26,672
David! David! David!

332
00:33:30,759 --> 00:33:32,094
Let us see.

333
00:33:37,266 --> 00:33:38,726
Come out.

334
00:34:36,951 --> 00:34:38,202
Jonathan,
how did it go?

335
00:34:38,410 --> 00:34:39,203
Good.

336
00:34:39,411 --> 00:34:40,451
Are you all right,
brother?

337
00:34:40,621 --> 00:34:41,872
Never better,
Michal.

338
00:34:42,039 --> 00:34:43,207
And you, David?

339
00:34:43,415 --> 00:34:44,625
Two more of
the Philistine army

340
00:34:44,833 --> 00:34:46,544
sleep with
their fathers tonight.

341
00:34:46,752 --> 00:34:49,255
Does that impress
the daughter of King Saul?

342
00:34:49,922 --> 00:34:53,133
Caught half a dozen
of them, Father, and their mules.

343
00:34:53,384 --> 00:34:54,802
The Philistine
women weep

344
00:34:55,010 --> 00:34:56,971
when they remember the day
David entered our camp.

345
00:35:00,641 --> 00:35:02,184
How did
David do?

346
00:35:02,476 --> 00:35:03,936
He got two by himself.

347
00:35:10,150 --> 00:35:12,319
You've heard
what they're saying.

348
00:35:12,528 --> 00:35:14,029
Yes, Uncle.

349
00:35:16,115 --> 00:35:19,410
Saul has killed
1000 Philistines,

350
00:35:19,618 --> 00:35:21,495
David, 10,000.

351
00:35:25,541 --> 00:35:27,251
He doesn't discourage
such talk.

352
00:35:28,294 --> 00:35:29,587
Perhaps he's the one.

353
00:35:30,462 --> 00:35:32,047
Which one, Uncle?

354
00:35:33,173 --> 00:35:36,385
The one Samuel
went in search of.

355
00:35:40,806 --> 00:35:43,517
The one who would be
after the Lord's own heart.

356
00:35:47,271 --> 00:35:49,648
Our army loves him.

357
00:35:51,775 --> 00:35:54,111
Perhaps such a hero

358
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,697
wants to be my son-in-law.

359
00:35:57,364 --> 00:35:59,575
Marry my daughter.

360
00:36:04,163 --> 00:36:06,874
I could never pay
such a bride's price,

361
00:36:07,041 --> 00:36:09,335
however much
I might wish it.

362
00:36:10,586 --> 00:36:11,586
Father, you...

363
00:36:11,670 --> 00:36:12,796
Be quiet.

364
00:36:13,005 --> 00:36:15,716
A king knows what his people
and his family are thinking.

365
00:36:19,928 --> 00:36:22,139
The garrison at Gilgal,

366
00:36:22,348 --> 00:36:24,224
It will need to be
resupplied soon.

367
00:36:24,433 --> 00:36:27,019
Take some men, make sure
those supplies never arrive.

368
00:36:31,482 --> 00:36:34,568
Bring me back the foreskins
of 100 dead Philistines.

369
00:36:38,864 --> 00:36:41,116
That will be a price
for a daughter's hand.

370
00:36:46,914 --> 00:36:49,041
You have honored me
with such a command.

371
00:37:05,265 --> 00:37:08,602
Let God arise.
Let His enemies be scattered.

372
00:37:08,811 --> 00:37:11,939
Let them also that hate Him
flee before Him.

373
00:37:12,147 --> 00:37:15,109
As smoke is driven away,
so drive them away.

374
00:37:15,317 --> 00:37:19,154
As wax melteth
before the fire,

375
00:37:19,363 --> 00:37:22,658
so let the wicked perish

376
00:37:22,866 --> 00:37:25,869
at the presence of God.

377
00:37:33,168 --> 00:37:34,753
Two hundred
Philistine foreskins,

378
00:37:34,962 --> 00:37:37,089
Instead of the 100
you requested, my lord king.

379
00:37:39,508 --> 00:37:41,093
The price was high.

380
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:47,641
Definitely a deed
of valor...

381
00:37:48,851 --> 00:37:52,229
worthy of a husband
of a princess.

382
00:37:53,897 --> 00:37:56,108
I must prepare myself
for your daughter.

383
00:37:56,316 --> 00:37:58,694
I can't greet her
with this blood on me.

384
00:38:04,199 --> 00:38:06,535
Tomorrow night,
Uncle.

385
00:38:06,744 --> 00:38:08,954
After the ceremonies.

386
00:38:09,163 --> 00:38:11,915
I know three men
who have no love for David.

387
00:38:17,588 --> 00:38:21,008
Blessed art thou,
o Lord, our God,

388
00:38:21,216 --> 00:38:23,802
king from eternity,

389
00:38:24,011 --> 00:38:27,097
who creates the fruit
of the vine.

390
00:38:31,727 --> 00:38:34,271
She is consecrated.

391
00:38:37,107 --> 00:38:39,026
You are consecrated to me,

392
00:38:39,234 --> 00:38:42,237
according to the law
of Moses and of Israel.

393
00:39:29,660 --> 00:39:31,954
You are
in grave danger.

394
00:39:32,162 --> 00:39:33,956
You must
leave here tonight.

395
00:39:35,290 --> 00:39:37,459
Tell me, what's wrong?

396
00:39:37,668 --> 00:39:40,504
Don't ask me
how I know this...

397
00:39:41,922 --> 00:39:44,842
but Saul intends
to take your life.

398
00:40:08,323 --> 00:40:09,323
Kill him!

399
00:40:09,908 --> 00:40:10,951
No, no!

400
00:40:15,914 --> 00:40:17,416
Why?

401
00:40:17,624 --> 00:40:19,084
Your maid.

402
00:40:19,293 --> 00:40:21,211
The girl is dead.

403
00:40:24,131 --> 00:40:26,383
Why did you deceive me...

404
00:40:27,551 --> 00:40:28,802
and help my enemy?

405
00:40:29,011 --> 00:40:33,557
I have been faithful
to my husband, as I should.

406
00:40:43,108 --> 00:40:44,151
Where is he?

407
00:40:44,359 --> 00:40:46,904
I had no chance to find out.

408
00:40:50,073 --> 00:40:51,450
Your father wants me dead.

409
00:40:51,658 --> 00:40:53,201
What?

410
00:40:55,203 --> 00:40:57,039
Michal thinks so,
and so do I.

411
00:40:57,247 --> 00:40:59,007
I... I don't know why.
I've done him no harm.

412
00:40:59,041 --> 00:41:00,250
But still,
he seeks my life.

413
00:41:00,459 --> 00:41:03,587
David,
you're not in danger.

414
00:41:03,795 --> 00:41:06,214
Look, my father
would do nothing

415
00:41:06,423 --> 00:41:08,008
without
confiding in me.

416
00:41:08,216 --> 00:41:09,576
He has never
kept anything from me.

417
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,845
Jonathan, he knows the love
we have for each other.

418
00:41:12,054 --> 00:41:13,096
And so he knows enough

419
00:41:13,305 --> 00:41:14,574
to keep his plans for me
out of your sight.

420
00:41:14,598 --> 00:41:16,183
Don't be naive.

421
00:41:18,602 --> 00:41:20,729
David.

422
00:41:20,938 --> 00:41:23,690
I love you
as I love my own soul.

423
00:41:24,900 --> 00:41:26,026
Choose any way
of testing

424
00:41:26,234 --> 00:41:28,904
my father's intentions
towards you.

425
00:41:29,112 --> 00:41:31,073
I will do
whatever you ask.

426
00:41:34,117 --> 00:41:36,536
- Tomorrow is a feast day.
- Yes.

427
00:41:37,037 --> 00:41:39,164
When he sees
that my seat is empty,

428
00:41:39,373 --> 00:41:42,918
tell him that...
I have gone

429
00:41:43,126 --> 00:41:45,087
on a yearly sacrifice
to Bethlehem

430
00:41:45,295 --> 00:41:46,415
with my father and brothers.

431
00:41:46,505 --> 00:41:48,632
If he's at peace with that,
I will return.

432
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,260
If he's angered,
we'll know he means me harm.

433
00:42:00,727 --> 00:42:02,980
If my father does mean
to do you evil,

434
00:42:03,188 --> 00:42:05,565
you will know of it
from my lips.

435
00:42:05,774 --> 00:42:08,026
I will send you away,
and you will go in peace.

436
00:42:08,235 --> 00:42:10,320
From this day on,
there's a covenant between us.

437
00:42:11,822 --> 00:42:12,864
As long as I live,

438
00:42:13,073 --> 00:42:15,117
no harm will ever come
to the house of Jonathan.

439
00:42:27,879 --> 00:42:30,298
If we are attacked,
who will organize our defenses?

440
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:39,433
It's a pity
David isn't with us.

441
00:42:39,641 --> 00:42:40,976
Mm. Yeah.

442
00:42:44,563 --> 00:42:46,148
Where is David?

443
00:42:48,984 --> 00:42:50,235
He's gone to Bethlehem

444
00:42:50,444 --> 00:42:52,404
to make a sacrifice
with his family.

445
00:42:53,739 --> 00:42:55,365
What is it, Father?

446
00:43:01,538 --> 00:43:03,457
David is unclean.

447
00:43:07,294 --> 00:43:08,587
He means me harm.

448
00:43:12,632 --> 00:43:14,468
How can you say that, Father?

449
00:43:16,803 --> 00:43:21,516
The mother that bore you
was foul and rebellious!

450
00:43:21,725 --> 00:43:24,102
You choose David's life
over mine?

451
00:43:26,104 --> 00:43:27,939
Over your own kingdom?

452
00:43:29,399 --> 00:43:32,778
Why do you hate one who has
loved and served you faithfully?

453
00:43:32,986 --> 00:43:34,946
He tasks me.

454
00:43:35,155 --> 00:43:38,366
He's like a pebble
scratching at my heart!

455
00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:46,041
As I am king,
I swear he must die!

456
00:43:57,844 --> 00:43:58,595
In a few miles,

457
00:43:58,804 --> 00:44:01,264
you will come
to the city of Nob.

458
00:44:01,473 --> 00:44:03,475
The priests there
are men of virtue.

459
00:44:05,143 --> 00:44:06,937
I must return,
help my father

460
00:44:07,145 --> 00:44:09,064
wrestle
with his evil spirit.

461
00:44:10,732 --> 00:44:12,526
We've given
our oath.

462
00:44:12,734 --> 00:44:14,569
The Lord will
always be with you.

463
00:44:26,206 --> 00:44:28,834
I'm grateful
for this.

464
00:44:29,042 --> 00:44:31,545
Here is the only other
thing I can give you.

465
00:44:37,926 --> 00:44:39,719
The sword
of Goliath.

466
00:44:41,179 --> 00:44:44,141
If you have any need of it,
it is yours.

467
00:44:45,016 --> 00:44:46,176
You give me all these things,

468
00:44:46,309 --> 00:44:47,749
and I can give you
nothing in return.

469
00:44:47,853 --> 00:44:51,690
We know you have been gallant
in Saul's service,

470
00:44:51,898 --> 00:44:53,525
and we know the Lord
is with you.

471
00:44:55,652 --> 00:44:56,862
Who's he?

472
00:44:59,614 --> 00:45:02,200
Doeg, the Edomite,

473
00:45:02,409 --> 00:45:03,827
one of Saul's captains.

474
00:45:05,412 --> 00:45:06,705
Be careful of him.

475
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,347
O God, thou art my God.

476
00:45:24,556 --> 00:45:27,184
Early will I seek thee.

477
00:45:27,392 --> 00:45:30,061
My soul thirsts for thee.

478
00:45:30,270 --> 00:45:35,275
My flesh thirsts for thee
in a dry, thirsty land.

479
00:45:35,483 --> 00:45:39,154
Because thy loving kindness
is better than life,

480
00:45:39,362 --> 00:45:41,865
my lips shall praise thee.

481
00:45:53,835 --> 00:45:55,337
David.

482
00:45:57,881 --> 00:45:58,965
Where is he?

483
00:45:59,174 --> 00:46:02,636
I do not know where
he is, my lord king.

484
00:46:02,844 --> 00:46:06,097
You've conspired
with David against me.

485
00:46:06,306 --> 00:46:09,517
You've given him bread
and a sword.

486
00:46:09,726 --> 00:46:13,146
You pray to God that he might
rise against me. Do you deny it?

487
00:46:13,355 --> 00:46:16,233
Who has been as faithful
to my lord king as David,

488
00:46:16,441 --> 00:46:18,318
that you made your son-in-law?

489
00:46:19,152 --> 00:46:20,737
Kill him.

490
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,407
Let there be
no more traitors.

491
00:46:24,616 --> 00:46:26,117
And kill the priests
of the Lord...

492
00:46:27,202 --> 00:46:28,828
for their hand
is with David.

493
00:46:45,845 --> 00:46:47,847
Greetings. I am Joab,

494
00:46:48,056 --> 00:46:50,392
One of the men
loyal to David.

495
00:46:51,101 --> 00:46:52,560
I am seeking Nabal.

496
00:46:53,228 --> 00:46:54,396
Nabal!

497
00:46:58,358 --> 00:46:59,609
So?

498
00:46:59,818 --> 00:47:01,444
I am Joab.

499
00:47:01,653 --> 00:47:03,113
I come from David.

500
00:47:03,321 --> 00:47:06,241
He asks for your kindness
and generosity.

501
00:47:06,449 --> 00:47:09,953
Our King Saul has a warrant
on David's head.

502
00:47:11,037 --> 00:47:12,122
David...

503
00:47:12,330 --> 00:47:13,999
is not welcome here.

504
00:47:17,002 --> 00:47:20,338
I ought to slit that
pig's throat from ear to ear.

505
00:47:20,547 --> 00:47:21,798
Somebody's coming.

506
00:47:24,092 --> 00:47:27,512
A hand here.
A hand with the horses. Come on.

507
00:47:34,894 --> 00:47:39,482
I am Abigail,
wife of the man Nabal,

508
00:47:39,691 --> 00:47:41,526
who has behaved
so discourteously

509
00:47:41,735 --> 00:47:43,028
towards you,
my lord.

510
00:47:43,236 --> 00:47:45,780
My husband is a fool.

511
00:47:45,989 --> 00:47:48,616
I have brought food
and blankets for your people.

512
00:47:52,454 --> 00:47:55,999
But your first protector
is the Lord God.

513
00:47:56,207 --> 00:48:00,962
Please,
try to take no offense.

514
00:48:01,171 --> 00:48:03,089
Don't be drawn into action

515
00:48:03,298 --> 00:48:05,342
by the evil of those
who hate you.

516
00:48:09,846 --> 00:48:12,766
Blessed be the Lord
that sent you to me today.

517
00:48:14,809 --> 00:48:17,395
Blessed be you
for your wise words.

518
00:48:21,608 --> 00:48:24,361
There is no reason for me
to shed the blood of Nabal.

519
00:48:25,820 --> 00:48:27,781
Thank you, my lord.

520
00:48:33,495 --> 00:48:35,663
That penniless outlaw, David...

521
00:48:37,290 --> 00:48:40,710
Dreams he can have
a seat at my table.

522
00:48:43,129 --> 00:48:44,631
The nerve.

523
00:48:46,091 --> 00:48:49,386
Saul still has
a bounty on David.

524
00:48:51,054 --> 00:48:55,225
A message concerning
David's whereabouts

525
00:48:55,433 --> 00:49:00,230
is still worth a nice price
in silver shekels.

526
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,903
You have no notion
of who David is, do you, Nabal?

527
00:49:07,112 --> 00:49:08,488
What do you mean?

528
00:49:08,696 --> 00:49:10,615
Those who oppose David
oppose God.

529
00:49:10,824 --> 00:49:12,992
God. Ha!

530
00:49:13,201 --> 00:49:16,287
David was a step away
from taking your life.

531
00:49:20,792 --> 00:49:23,545
The ground beneath your feet
is ready to give way, Nabal.

532
00:49:27,340 --> 00:49:28,925
Consider this.

533
00:49:34,556 --> 00:49:36,141
Abigail, wait!

534
00:49:36,349 --> 00:49:37,392
Abig...

535
00:49:56,286 --> 00:49:57,537
Michal has
been given

536
00:49:57,745 --> 00:49:59,789
by her father
to another man.

537
00:50:03,084 --> 00:50:04,961
You have been alone
a long time.

538
00:50:13,720 --> 00:50:15,597
Would you come with me
and be my wife?

539
00:50:35,909 --> 00:50:38,286
Mmmmm.

540
00:50:44,250 --> 00:50:46,461
You must leave
this place.

541
00:50:48,922 --> 00:50:51,132
It seems as if...

542
00:50:51,341 --> 00:50:54,844
every time I've found a place
to rest my head,

543
00:50:55,053 --> 00:50:56,846
I've had to leave.

544
00:50:58,264 --> 00:51:01,351
Before he died,
Nabal sent word to Saul

545
00:51:01,559 --> 00:51:04,854
that you could be found
in the hills of Engedi.

546
00:51:05,063 --> 00:51:06,564
You must leave.

547
00:51:11,402 --> 00:51:14,989
Good. I'm glad Saul
knows where to find me.

548
00:51:16,157 --> 00:51:17,951
It's time we had a reckoning.

549
00:51:26,584 --> 00:51:29,170
David, wait.

550
00:51:32,465 --> 00:51:34,092
Wait here, Uncle.

551
00:51:34,300 --> 00:51:35,301
Here, Jonathan.

552
00:51:35,510 --> 00:51:36,553
Yes, Father.

553
00:51:36,761 --> 00:51:38,805
This way.
We'll stay here the night.

554
00:52:19,387 --> 00:52:22,932
One blow from that spear
and Saul is dead.

555
00:52:23,099 --> 00:52:24,642
Order me to do it.

556
00:52:24,809 --> 00:52:26,060
Do not do it.

557
00:52:26,269 --> 00:52:27,061
Who can raise his hand

558
00:52:27,270 --> 00:52:29,188
against the one
who God anointed?

559
00:52:29,397 --> 00:52:30,857
The Lord will
take him.

560
00:52:31,065 --> 00:52:33,901
His day will come to die,
but not by my hand.

561
00:52:41,784 --> 00:52:42,784
Abner?

562
00:52:43,494 --> 00:52:44,746
What is it, Uncle?

563
00:52:45,121 --> 00:52:46,205
He was here.

564
00:52:46,414 --> 00:52:47,414
No, Uncle.

565
00:52:48,333 --> 00:52:49,417
Abner.

566
00:52:50,084 --> 00:52:52,587
You've not done a good job
of guarding your king.

567
00:52:53,838 --> 00:52:56,174
Is this the voice
of my son David?

568
00:52:56,382 --> 00:52:59,761
Where did you hear
that I ever meant you harm?

569
00:52:59,969 --> 00:53:01,846
This day you can see
with your own eyes

570
00:53:02,055 --> 00:53:04,182
you were given
into my hands.

571
00:53:05,475 --> 00:53:07,268
Some said to kill you,

572
00:53:07,477 --> 00:53:09,228
but I did not.

573
00:53:09,437 --> 00:53:12,565
I will not raise my hand
against my lord king.

574
00:53:14,233 --> 00:53:17,528
I came this close to you, Saul.

575
00:53:17,737 --> 00:53:19,155
Now you must know
there is no evil

576
00:53:19,364 --> 00:53:21,074
in my heart towards you.

577
00:53:21,282 --> 00:53:22,950
I have not sinned against you,

578
00:53:23,159 --> 00:53:26,204
Even though you have hunted me
and sought to take my life.

579
00:53:26,412 --> 00:53:29,666
The Lord will judge
between you and me.

580
00:53:29,874 --> 00:53:33,169
Wickedness proceeds
from the wicked.

581
00:53:33,378 --> 00:53:35,713
But my hand will
not rise against you.

582
00:53:37,924 --> 00:53:40,885
Is this your true voice,
David, my son?

583
00:53:41,094 --> 00:53:42,887
It is, my lord.

584
00:53:45,723 --> 00:53:47,266
Then I have sinned.

585
00:53:52,230 --> 00:53:55,483
Return to me, David.

586
00:53:58,069 --> 00:54:00,446
I'll do you no harm,

587
00:54:00,655 --> 00:54:03,950
because my soul is precious
in your eyes tonight.

588
00:54:05,785 --> 00:54:08,538
God is with you.

589
00:54:08,746 --> 00:54:10,289
You will be king.

590
00:54:15,169 --> 00:54:18,089
But swear to me you will
not cut off my sons...

591
00:54:19,173 --> 00:54:21,092
nor destroy the name
of my house.

592
00:54:26,347 --> 00:54:28,057
I swear it.

593
00:54:28,683 --> 00:54:30,601
God bless you, David.

594
00:54:31,936 --> 00:54:33,688
You will do great things.

595
00:54:43,990 --> 00:54:46,409
Be merciful to me,
o God.

596
00:54:46,576 --> 00:54:48,035
Be merciful to me,

597
00:54:48,661 --> 00:54:50,705
for in you
my soul takes refuge.

598
00:54:50,913 --> 00:54:53,875
In the shadow of your wings,
I will take refuge

599
00:54:54,083 --> 00:54:56,919
till the storms
of destruction pass by.

600
00:55:16,981 --> 00:55:18,900
Nathan.

601
00:55:19,108 --> 00:55:23,237
God makes it hard to be a king.

602
00:55:26,032 --> 00:55:27,533
You must help him.

603
00:55:32,079 --> 00:55:33,664
Listen to what I tell you.

604
00:55:33,873 --> 00:55:39,170
You must tell him,
“Stay close to God."

605
00:55:39,378 --> 00:55:40,588
Close.

606
00:55:40,797 --> 00:55:43,841
You know...
He's God's choice.

607
00:56:20,545 --> 00:56:22,380
Samuel worried about you, David.

608
00:56:23,005 --> 00:56:25,007
Even on his deathbed.

609
00:56:25,216 --> 00:56:27,593
He told me to warn you of Saul,

610
00:56:27,802 --> 00:56:30,304
not to believe
his promises of peace.

611
00:56:30,513 --> 00:56:34,016
The evil spirit within Saul
can return at any time.

612
00:56:34,225 --> 00:56:37,061
You will be like a lamp
to the people of Israel,

613
00:56:37,270 --> 00:56:38,980
for the Lord is with you.

614
00:56:39,188 --> 00:56:40,773
That is what Samuel said.

615
00:56:42,191 --> 00:56:44,151
All of Israel will miss him,
Nathan.

616
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:46,571
It was also his wish
that I go with you

617
00:56:46,737 --> 00:56:48,030
and be a teacher to you

618
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,867
and help you hear
the word of the Lord.

619
00:56:51,075 --> 00:56:54,370
His last words were,
“Help David.

620
00:56:54,579 --> 00:56:56,914
God makes it hard to be a king."

621
00:57:32,158 --> 00:57:33,618
David!

622
00:57:34,785 --> 00:57:36,871
David.

623
00:57:37,079 --> 00:57:39,290
The Amalekites kidnapped
your wife, Abigail.

624
00:57:39,498 --> 00:57:40,791
The women went
to the stream

625
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,043
to wash,

626
00:57:42,251 --> 00:57:44,503
And a bunch of Amalekite
raiders took them.

627
00:57:44,712 --> 00:57:46,464
Round up the men.
We'll pursue them at once.

628
00:58:04,899 --> 00:58:06,567
The women are up there.

629
00:58:14,158 --> 00:58:15,868
Here, Leah, you take this.

630
00:58:16,077 --> 00:58:17,077
You harlot!

631
00:58:18,579 --> 00:58:19,956
You'll be sorry
you did this.

632
00:58:20,122 --> 00:58:23,125
We'll get no good price
for the wife of David!

633
00:58:24,835 --> 00:58:27,046
O Lord God,

634
00:58:27,254 --> 00:58:30,633
to whom vengeance belongeth,

635
00:58:30,841 --> 00:58:32,927
show thyself.

636
00:58:34,679 --> 00:58:37,390
Thou judge of the earth,

637
00:58:37,598 --> 00:58:40,351
render a reward to the proud.

638
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:45,564
Lord, how long
shall the wicked triumph?

639
00:59:35,114 --> 00:59:37,992
The Philistine armies of Achish
are massing in all directions.

640
00:59:40,119 --> 00:59:42,705
We must either abandon Gilboa
or think of a strategy

641
00:59:42,913 --> 00:59:44,193
for breaking
through their lines.

642
00:59:44,373 --> 00:59:45,373
How?

643
00:59:49,587 --> 00:59:51,839
How can I decide what to do

644
00:59:52,048 --> 00:59:53,674
when I cannot reach my God?

645
00:59:53,883 --> 00:59:56,135
God wants us to live.

646
00:59:58,429 --> 00:59:59,764
No.

647
01:00:02,183 --> 01:00:04,894
Only him who speaks to God

648
01:00:05,102 --> 01:00:06,771
can be certain what to do.

649
01:00:09,523 --> 01:00:11,192
Who would that be,
Father?

650
01:00:12,234 --> 01:00:13,778
The prophet Samuel,
of course.

651
01:00:13,986 --> 01:00:16,363
- He's dead!
- I know he's dead.

652
01:00:19,033 --> 01:00:21,243
Nevertheless,
I must speak to him.

653
01:00:25,998 --> 01:00:27,458
A witch.

654
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,418
What?

655
01:00:29,627 --> 01:00:32,797
A witch could bring Samuel
back from the other world.

656
01:00:33,005 --> 01:00:34,005
No, you can't!

657
01:00:34,799 --> 01:00:36,175
Can't?!

658
01:00:37,676 --> 01:00:41,514
Our army stands on the brink
of annihilation!

659
01:00:41,722 --> 01:00:44,266
I must have counsel of him
that speaks to God.

660
01:00:44,767 --> 01:00:46,143
It's a sin.

661
01:00:46,352 --> 01:00:48,187
So I've sinned.

662
01:00:48,395 --> 01:00:50,731
At least I'll have spoken
to God again.

663
01:00:59,615 --> 01:01:00,783
Who's there?

664
01:01:00,991 --> 01:01:01,992
We mean no harm.

665
01:01:02,201 --> 01:01:03,201
We're travelers.

666
01:01:03,285 --> 01:01:04,078
Travelers?

667
01:01:12,962 --> 01:01:16,298
Woman, I...
know of your powers.

668
01:01:18,467 --> 01:01:21,637
Can you bring back someone known
to me from the other world?

669
01:01:21,846 --> 01:01:23,097
Are you mad?

670
01:01:24,598 --> 01:01:26,225
You know King Saul
of the Israelites

671
01:01:26,433 --> 01:01:28,060
has forbidden such practices.

672
01:01:29,478 --> 01:01:32,439
I guarantee you will not
be punished by this Saul.

673
01:01:37,653 --> 01:01:39,363
And what will you pay?

674
01:02:01,218 --> 01:02:03,637
Who was he and when did he die?

675
01:02:05,347 --> 01:02:08,726
The prophet Samuel.
Six months ago.

676
01:03:02,947 --> 01:03:04,031
Oh, my God!

677
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:05,366
What is it?

678
01:03:05,574 --> 01:03:07,993
You are King Saul!
You tricked me!

679
01:03:08,202 --> 01:03:09,286
No, no.

680
01:03:18,545 --> 01:03:19,797
Samuel.

681
01:03:22,633 --> 01:03:23,801
Saul.

682
01:03:25,928 --> 01:03:30,641
Why have you brought me here?
Why do you disturb my rest?

683
01:03:30,849 --> 01:03:32,559
I had to talk to you.

684
01:03:34,103 --> 01:03:35,854
My army is in jeopardy.

685
01:03:37,773 --> 01:03:39,775
God has left me.

686
01:03:41,193 --> 01:03:42,987
Only you can tell me what to do.

687
01:03:43,487 --> 01:03:44,989
If God has left you,

688
01:03:45,197 --> 01:03:46,824
what can I do?

689
01:03:47,825 --> 01:03:50,619
The Lord has taken your kingdom,

690
01:03:50,828 --> 01:03:52,830
and he intends it for David.

691
01:03:53,038 --> 01:03:54,039
No.

692
01:03:54,248 --> 01:03:55,248
Now...

693
01:03:55,332 --> 01:03:57,626
He has left you
to the Philistines.

694
01:03:57,835 --> 01:03:58,585
No.

695
01:03:58,794 --> 01:03:59,837
Tomorrow,

696
01:04:00,045 --> 01:04:03,257
you and your sons
will be with me.

697
01:04:03,465 --> 01:04:04,465
No!

698
01:04:05,634 --> 01:04:06,719
No!

699
01:05:03,359 --> 01:05:04,860
We attack!

700
01:05:05,069 --> 01:05:06,528
But we are so few.

701
01:05:06,737 --> 01:05:08,506
Remember the day we drove
the Philistine raiders

702
01:05:08,530 --> 01:05:09,323
from the village?

703
01:05:09,531 --> 01:05:10,574
That was a good day.

704
01:05:10,783 --> 01:05:11,909
Today will be such a day.

705
01:05:12,117 --> 01:05:13,660
The spirit of God
is with us again?

706
01:05:15,329 --> 01:05:17,748
The spirit of God
is with us today.

707
01:05:43,565 --> 01:05:45,192
Hold up. Hold up.

708
01:06:04,002 --> 01:06:05,671
Forward!

709
01:06:38,829 --> 01:06:39,829
Run.

710
01:08:52,212 --> 01:08:54,631
Jonathan. Jonathan.

711
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:56,174
Kill me.

712
01:08:56,383 --> 01:08:58,468
Kill me.

713
01:08:58,677 --> 01:09:00,637
Don't let them take me.

714
01:09:15,819 --> 01:09:16,820
Kill me.

715
01:09:40,093 --> 01:09:42,763
Jonathan!

716
01:09:47,434 --> 01:09:49,519
Jonathan!

717
01:09:58,737 --> 01:10:00,822
Kill me!

718
01:10:30,227 --> 01:10:33,730
Saul and Jonathan
were swifter than eagles.

719
01:10:33,939 --> 01:10:36,692
They were stronger than lions.

720
01:10:36,900 --> 01:10:39,820
And in their death,
they were not divided.

721
01:10:41,238 --> 01:10:45,200
How are the mighty fallen
in the midst of battle.

722
01:11:00,632 --> 01:11:01,883
David.

723
01:11:02,092 --> 01:11:03,635
You are anointed of God.

724
01:11:05,595 --> 01:11:07,389
You must be our king.

725
01:11:27,492 --> 01:11:31,580
Thou shalt not be afraid
of the terrors by night,

726
01:11:31,788 --> 01:11:35,250
nor of the arrows
that flieth by day,

727
01:11:35,459 --> 01:11:39,212
nor of the destruction
that wasteth at noonday.

728
01:11:39,421 --> 01:11:43,300
He shall give his angels
charge over thee

729
01:11:43,508 --> 01:11:46,803
to keep thee in all thy ways.

730
01:12:26,635 --> 01:12:28,929
Here we are in the great
city of Jerusalem,

731
01:12:29,137 --> 01:12:30,639
which is so rich
in building stone.

732
01:12:30,847 --> 01:12:32,567
Here, I'm going to build
the greatest temple

733
01:12:32,766 --> 01:12:33,892
the world has ever seen

734
01:12:34,100 --> 01:12:37,604
to house the Ark of the Covenant
as is fit and proper.

735
01:12:38,980 --> 01:12:41,942
I'm afraid there's a problem
with that, my lord king.

736
01:12:42,776 --> 01:12:44,444
What kind of a problem?

737
01:12:44,653 --> 01:12:46,655
The Lord God has spoken
to me of this.

738
01:12:46,863 --> 01:12:49,991
And? What has He said?

739
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:51,493
He said,

740
01:12:52,953 --> 01:12:54,496
"I have not dwelt
in any house

741
01:12:54,704 --> 01:12:56,584
"since the time I brought
the children of Israel

742
01:12:56,748 --> 01:12:57,958
"out of Egypt.

743
01:13:00,669 --> 01:13:02,379
"LI have walked in a tent

744
01:13:02,587 --> 01:13:04,756
"and have not complained
or said,

745
01:13:04,965 --> 01:13:07,926
'why have you not built me
a house of cedar?"

746
01:13:08,134 --> 01:13:09,261
It is not for you, David,

747
01:13:09,469 --> 01:13:11,388
To name what God
can demand for himself.

748
01:13:11,596 --> 01:13:13,306
I only want
to honor Him.

749
01:13:16,685 --> 01:13:18,311
God knows this,

750
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:20,272
and He loves you for it.

751
01:13:21,815 --> 01:13:23,233
He said...

752
01:13:24,276 --> 01:13:26,236
“Tell my servant, David,

753
01:13:26,444 --> 01:13:28,196
"I took you from the sheepfold

754
01:13:28,405 --> 01:13:30,115
"to be ruler of Israel.

755
01:13:31,199 --> 01:13:33,702
"LI have appointed
a place for your people.

756
01:13:33,910 --> 01:13:35,954
"A place of their own,

757
01:13:36,162 --> 01:13:39,040
"where they may live
and move no more.

758
01:13:40,166 --> 01:13:41,710
"As to a house for me,

759
01:13:41,918 --> 01:13:44,170
"it will come
when your days are fulfilled

760
01:13:44,379 --> 01:13:46,047
"and you sleep
with your fathers.

761
01:13:52,637 --> 01:13:54,681
"I will take one of your seed

762
01:13:54,890 --> 01:13:56,391
"and establish his kingdom...

763
01:14:05,150 --> 01:14:08,361
"but my mercy shall not depart
away from him

764
01:14:08,570 --> 01:14:10,822
"as I took it from Saul
to make room for you.

765
01:14:13,074 --> 01:14:15,952
“Your house and your kingdom

766
01:14:16,119 --> 01:14:17,829
shall be established forever."

767
01:14:19,414 --> 01:14:20,957
And...

768
01:14:21,207 --> 01:14:24,586
my son will build
a temple for the Lord?

769
01:14:25,462 --> 01:14:26,671
Yes.

770
01:14:33,428 --> 01:14:35,055
And...

771
01:14:35,263 --> 01:14:39,351
my son will build
a temple for the Lord?

772
01:14:39,559 --> 01:14:41,061
Yes.

773
01:15:29,567 --> 01:15:31,653
Joseph, there's a woman
living just a stone's throw

774
01:15:31,861 --> 01:15:33,863
from the eastern corner
of this house.

775
01:15:34,072 --> 01:15:36,074
That's Uriah the Hittite's
house, my lord king.

776
01:15:37,367 --> 01:15:39,035
You're referring
to his wife, Bathsheba.

777
01:15:41,621 --> 01:15:44,874
Uriah, a fine soldier.

778
01:15:45,083 --> 01:15:46,918
Hasn't Joab gone
to join him at Rabbah?

779
01:15:47,127 --> 01:15:48,461
Yes, my lord king.

780
01:15:50,714 --> 01:15:52,674
Have, um...

781
01:15:53,258 --> 01:15:54,426
Bathsheba?

782
01:15:54,634 --> 01:15:56,094
Bathsheba...
Uh...

783
01:15:56,302 --> 01:15:59,055
join me after you've
cleared away the meal.

784
01:16:35,341 --> 01:16:36,801
Welcome to my home,
Bathsheba.

785
01:16:53,526 --> 01:16:56,279
Your husband
is a brave soldier.

786
01:17:01,034 --> 01:17:03,453
Thank you, my lord king.

787
01:17:20,136 --> 01:17:21,805
Do you know the reason
you're here?

788
01:17:29,229 --> 01:17:33,191
The sight of me...
pleased you.

789
01:17:33,399 --> 01:17:34,984
You saw me watching you?

790
01:17:35,193 --> 01:17:36,236
I did not, my lord.

791
01:17:38,321 --> 01:17:39,906
It was a feeling.

792
01:17:42,367 --> 01:17:44,285
A strange feeling.

793
01:17:46,913 --> 01:17:50,375
I could sense
someone watching me.

794
01:17:50,583 --> 01:17:52,961
Something you know, somehow,
without knowing how.

795
01:18:04,180 --> 01:18:05,598
I am married, my lord.

796
01:18:07,267 --> 01:18:09,227
Do you love your husband?

797
01:18:13,398 --> 01:18:15,859
As it is a wife's duty
to love her husband.

798
01:18:23,324 --> 01:18:26,327
You're not answering
my question.

799
01:18:27,954 --> 01:18:29,914
Perhaps it is the way
you ask it.

800
01:18:32,625 --> 01:18:35,003
Does he live

801
01:18:35,211 --> 01:18:37,505
in your heart

802
01:18:37,714 --> 01:18:40,049
as one unique spirit
that speaks to you?

803
01:18:49,934 --> 01:18:54,355
I'm afraid to break
our laws of marriage, my lord.

804
01:19:08,661 --> 01:19:10,288
And I am afraid...

805
01:19:11,289 --> 01:19:13,541
to refuse my king.

806
01:19:17,128 --> 01:19:19,547
Especially when he is
as great as you.

807
01:20:27,156 --> 01:20:28,533
Thank you, Joseph.

808
01:20:51,764 --> 01:20:53,266
I am troubled, my lord.

809
01:20:55,018 --> 01:20:56,519
What is it, Bathsheba?

810
01:21:01,316 --> 01:21:02,400
My lord...

811
01:21:06,237 --> 01:21:08,156
I carry your child.

812
01:21:30,928 --> 01:21:33,598
I want you to bring back
my lieutenant, Uriah,

813
01:21:33,806 --> 01:21:36,059
with a report
on the battle at Rabbah.

814
01:21:37,310 --> 01:21:38,686
Yes, my lord king.

815
01:22:10,134 --> 01:22:12,220
The Ammonites send
scouting parties

816
01:22:12,428 --> 01:22:14,722
that we have
a hard time catching.

817
01:22:14,889 --> 01:22:18,267
Their knowledge of those hills
is better than ours.

818
01:22:20,937 --> 01:22:23,272
And, finally, Joab,

819
01:22:23,481 --> 01:22:24,816
does he inspire the men?

820
01:22:25,024 --> 01:22:26,984
He's respected,
my lord king.

821
01:22:28,611 --> 01:22:30,405
Well, then.

822
01:22:30,613 --> 01:22:33,241
Thank you very much
for your honesty, Uriah.

823
01:22:34,700 --> 01:22:36,244
You can go home now.

824
01:22:36,452 --> 01:22:37,662
Bathe.

825
01:22:38,955 --> 01:22:41,040
Spend some time with your wife.

826
01:22:52,844 --> 01:22:54,887
Lay my blanket on the ground.

827
01:22:56,806 --> 01:23:00,226
I will be here in the courtyard,
near my men.

828
01:23:00,435 --> 01:23:01,435
Yes, sir.

829
01:23:05,857 --> 01:23:07,358
Good night, sir.

830
01:23:20,913 --> 01:23:22,290
Uriah.

831
01:23:24,292 --> 01:23:25,793
I, uh...

832
01:23:27,086 --> 01:23:28,588
I gave you permission
to go home.

833
01:23:29,881 --> 01:23:31,799
The Ark lives in a tent,

834
01:23:32,008 --> 01:23:34,760
and my fellow soldiers
sleep in the open fields.

835
01:23:36,345 --> 01:23:38,139
It's wrong for me
to go to a house

836
01:23:38,306 --> 01:23:40,057
and enjoy the comforts
of a wife.

837
01:23:42,477 --> 01:23:44,604
Uriah, you're a man
after my own heart.

838
01:23:44,812 --> 01:23:47,106
It's my duty as a soldier,
my lord king.

839
01:23:49,108 --> 01:23:50,860
You must stay a few more days
in Jerusalem.

840
01:23:52,403 --> 01:23:55,364
You must come feast
with me. Good night.

841
01:23:55,573 --> 01:23:56,991
Good night, my lord king.

842
01:24:58,678 --> 01:25:00,555
Have some more wine.

843
01:25:01,973 --> 01:25:03,391
It's good, isn't it?

844
01:25:03,599 --> 01:25:06,102
The finest, my lord.

845
01:25:13,150 --> 01:25:14,777
You should go home now.

846
01:25:14,986 --> 01:25:16,195
Enjoy yourself.

847
01:25:16,404 --> 01:25:17,989
See your wife.

848
01:25:19,282 --> 01:25:20,741
I'm sure it's been
a long time, eh?

849
01:25:23,661 --> 01:25:26,998
I would, my lord, but...

850
01:25:27,206 --> 01:25:28,833
But I'm tired.

851
01:26:09,498 --> 01:26:10,916
He's here,
my lord king.

852
01:26:23,804 --> 01:26:25,389
Uriah...

853
01:26:26,265 --> 01:26:27,975
You are to return to Rabbah...

854
01:26:28,768 --> 01:26:32,188
and give this
to Joab.

855
01:26:39,820 --> 01:26:41,155
Uriah.

856
01:26:41,572 --> 01:26:43,574
My lord king?

857
01:26:51,207 --> 01:26:53,876
I'd like you
to have this.

858
01:26:57,213 --> 01:26:58,506
Thank you, my lord.

859
01:26:58,714 --> 01:26:59,924
Thank you.

860
01:27:42,007 --> 01:27:43,926
Uriah, welcome!

861
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:06,407
Joab, greetings from your king.

862
01:28:06,615 --> 01:28:09,827
The bearer of this letter
is Uriah, your lieutenant.

863
01:28:10,035 --> 01:28:11,746
With respect to Uriah,
place him

864
01:28:11,912 --> 01:28:13,914
in the hottest part
of the battle,

865
01:28:14,123 --> 01:28:16,959
where he is most likely
to be killed.

866
01:28:40,691 --> 01:28:41,734
I hate these patrols.

867
01:28:41,942 --> 01:28:44,153
There are scouts
all around the place.

868
01:28:44,361 --> 01:28:46,030
Quiet, you men.

869
01:30:00,688 --> 01:30:01,814
My lady.

870
01:30:05,234 --> 01:30:07,152
I bring you the sword
of a very brave man.

871
01:31:48,337 --> 01:31:49,838
No.

872
01:32:29,253 --> 01:32:32,172
The sword devours one man
as well as another.

873
01:32:32,381 --> 01:32:35,050
There's no reason
for these things.

874
01:32:38,345 --> 01:32:41,473
May I weep,
my lord?

875
01:32:42,474 --> 01:32:44,435
Of course.

876
01:32:46,562 --> 01:32:50,441
But also
remember...

877
01:32:51,692 --> 01:32:55,112
Uriah died as he
would have wished.

878
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:56,905
Gallantly.

879
01:32:57,114 --> 01:33:00,075
Loyal to his king
and his people.

880
01:33:02,786 --> 01:33:05,664
That's a good death
for a soldier.

881
01:33:05,873 --> 01:33:08,917
No way her husband dies

882
01:33:09,126 --> 01:33:11,837
is good for his wife, my lord.

883
01:33:22,389 --> 01:33:25,726
Your feeling for Uriah...

884
01:33:26,810 --> 01:33:28,479
makes me jealous.

885
01:33:31,356 --> 01:33:33,609
But you have my heart.

886
01:33:37,071 --> 01:33:39,239
You know that.

887
01:33:48,665 --> 01:33:51,001
There is one blessing.

888
01:33:52,878 --> 01:33:55,464
We can acknowledge
our child.

889
01:34:05,641 --> 01:34:08,811
Oh, that is fortunate
for the child.

890
01:34:09,812 --> 01:34:11,688
And for you?

891
01:34:20,948 --> 01:34:24,868
I will do as you command.

892
01:34:33,877 --> 01:34:36,088
Then we shall marry.

893
01:34:41,426 --> 01:34:42,594
And as a wedding gift,

894
01:34:42,886 --> 01:34:45,639
Hiram of Galilee
has sent 200 heads of cattle.

895
01:34:46,098 --> 01:34:48,475
Well, thank him.

896
01:34:48,684 --> 01:34:51,019
And finally,
your prophet Nathan

897
01:34:51,228 --> 01:34:54,064
has a legal matter
for you to dispose of.

898
01:35:05,159 --> 01:35:09,663
My lord, I would ask that
you hear this matter in private.

899
01:35:09,872 --> 01:35:12,666
Very well. You may
leave us, Joseph.

900
01:35:15,919 --> 01:35:18,130
Now, Nathan,

901
01:35:18,338 --> 01:35:20,340
tell me about this case.

902
01:35:24,469 --> 01:35:27,890
There are two men
in a nearby city.

903
01:35:28,098 --> 01:35:31,226
One rich, the other poor.

904
01:35:31,435 --> 01:35:35,397
The rich man has many sheep,
many cattle.

905
01:35:35,606 --> 01:35:36,899
The poor one has nothing,

906
01:35:37,107 --> 01:35:41,028
except for one little ewe lamb
he's raised up since birth

907
01:35:41,236 --> 01:35:44,281
like it was one
of his own children.

908
01:35:44,489 --> 01:35:47,075
And yet, the rich man

909
01:35:47,284 --> 01:35:50,120
has taken up the poor man's
one little ewe lamb

910
01:35:50,329 --> 01:35:51,705
to slaughter...

911
01:35:53,415 --> 01:35:55,292
and sell as his own.

912
01:35:56,293 --> 01:35:58,712
There's only one answer to this.

913
01:35:58,921 --> 01:36:01,798
The rich man must give
the poor man one whole flock,

914
01:36:02,007 --> 01:36:04,927
and then he must die.

915
01:36:06,887 --> 01:36:09,139
What was the name
of this rich man?

916
01:36:10,807 --> 01:36:13,727
I want to know so I can see
to his punishment personally.

917
01:36:19,441 --> 01:36:21,818
You are that man.

918
01:36:30,702 --> 01:36:32,704
What do you mean?

919
01:36:33,872 --> 01:36:36,083
God has given you everything.

920
01:36:36,291 --> 01:36:38,168
Houses, wives, soldiers

921
01:36:38,377 --> 01:36:40,629
and a great name
among the nations.

922
01:36:40,796 --> 01:36:43,924
If you needed more from him,
you had only to ask.

923
01:36:44,091 --> 01:36:45,384
Instead,

924
01:36:45,592 --> 01:36:47,678
you used the Ammonite sword
to kill Uriah

925
01:36:47,886 --> 01:36:48,886
and took his wife.

926
01:36:50,222 --> 01:36:53,350
Now the sword will never depart
from your house.

927
01:36:53,558 --> 01:36:55,102
And God has said,

928
01:36:55,310 --> 01:36:57,646
“Thou will raise up
evil against you

929
01:36:57,854 --> 01:36:59,398
out of your own house."

930
01:37:10,117 --> 01:37:12,828
I have sinned.

931
01:37:13,036 --> 01:37:15,080
Does it mean that I must die?

932
01:37:15,289 --> 01:37:17,708
You shall not die,

933
01:37:17,916 --> 01:37:21,586
but the child born between
you and the wife of Uriah

934
01:37:21,795 --> 01:37:23,797
shall surely die.

935
01:37:54,286 --> 01:37:55,662
How is my wife?

936
01:37:57,664 --> 01:37:59,291
Well...

937
01:37:59,499 --> 01:38:01,418
my king.

938
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:07,799
And how is my child?

939
01:38:10,510 --> 01:38:13,221
Your child is thriving.

940
01:38:13,430 --> 01:38:16,183
You feel him kick?

941
01:38:21,938 --> 01:38:24,107
He wants to see his father.

942
01:38:41,750 --> 01:38:44,836
Unless there's any news,
leave me alone. I'm...

943
01:38:45,045 --> 01:38:48,715
I'm going outside
to fast and ask God's mercy.

944
01:38:59,559 --> 01:39:02,729
Have mercy upon me, o God.

945
01:39:02,938 --> 01:39:05,565
According to thy loving
kindness.

946
01:39:06,900 --> 01:39:08,902
According to thy tender mercies.

947
01:39:09,111 --> 01:39:12,614
Wipe out
my transgressions.

948
01:39:12,823 --> 01:39:15,367
Wash me thoroughly
from my iniquity.

949
01:39:15,575 --> 01:39:17,869
Cleanse me from my sin.

950
01:39:18,662 --> 01:39:20,789
For I acknowledge...

951
01:39:20,997 --> 01:39:22,833
my transgressions.

952
01:39:30,507 --> 01:39:32,634
Create in me...

953
01:39:32,843 --> 01:39:35,345
a clean heart...

954
01:39:35,554 --> 01:39:39,057
and renew a right spirit
within me.

955
01:39:40,475 --> 01:39:42,811
Do not cast me
from your presence.

956
01:39:45,689 --> 01:39:48,567
Do not take your holy spirit
from me.

957
01:40:23,894 --> 01:40:25,270
The child?

958
01:40:27,564 --> 01:40:29,149
Dead, my lord king.

959
01:41:23,954 --> 01:41:26,373
I say it again,
dear God.

960
01:41:26,581 --> 01:41:29,292
Create in me a clean heart

961
01:41:29,501 --> 01:41:32,671
and renew a right spirit.

962
01:41:51,314 --> 01:41:53,191
You fasted and wept
for your child

963
01:41:53,400 --> 01:41:54,985
while it was alive.

964
01:41:57,487 --> 01:41:59,656
But when the child dies,

965
01:41:59,864 --> 01:42:01,616
you eat a meal?

966
01:42:02,492 --> 01:42:04,786
When the child was alive,

967
01:42:04,995 --> 01:42:06,413
I fasted,

968
01:42:06,621 --> 01:42:07,872
because I said to myself,

969
01:42:08,081 --> 01:42:10,208
“Who can tell
whether God will be gracious

970
01:42:10,417 --> 01:42:12,460
and let the child live?"

971
01:42:14,796 --> 01:42:17,924
But the child is dead.

972
01:42:19,426 --> 01:42:21,928
Why should I continue to fast?

973
01:42:22,721 --> 01:42:25,140
Can I bring him back?

974
01:42:27,851 --> 01:42:30,103
I can go to him,

975
01:42:30,312 --> 01:42:32,647
but he cannot return to me.

976
01:42:59,924 --> 01:43:01,885
Forgive me...

977
01:43:06,931 --> 01:43:09,476
for the loss of your son.

978
01:43:09,684 --> 01:43:13,104
It is I who must beg
your forgiveness.

979
01:43:16,524 --> 01:43:18,360
Why?

980
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:38,588
Plotted...

981
01:43:38,797 --> 01:43:41,049
the death of Uriah.

982
01:43:42,926 --> 01:43:44,177
The Lord...

983
01:43:44,386 --> 01:43:47,555
took our child
in judgment.

984
01:43:56,981 --> 01:43:59,526
My child...

985
01:44:01,027 --> 01:44:02,654
died...

986
01:44:02,862 --> 01:44:06,574
on account of
Uriah's innocent blood?

987
01:44:10,120 --> 01:44:11,871
You,

988
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:15,333
the great King David,
favorite of God,

989
01:44:15,542 --> 01:44:18,378
and God did this
to you?

990
01:44:19,796 --> 01:44:21,923
I sinned.

991
01:44:23,049 --> 01:44:28,388
I pray that he will forgive me.

992
01:44:30,432 --> 01:44:32,892
There's nothing else I can do.

993
01:44:39,524 --> 01:44:41,568
I sinned too.

994
01:44:44,904 --> 01:44:46,740
If I had not desired you
as well,

995
01:44:46,948 --> 01:44:49,117
none of this would
have happened.

996
01:44:52,412 --> 01:44:56,750
And whatever judgment
God makes...

997
01:45:02,630 --> 01:45:05,425
We'll face it together.

998
01:45:26,070 --> 01:45:28,072
Do you remember the day

999
01:45:28,323 --> 01:45:30,283
when I asked you

1000
01:45:30,825 --> 01:45:33,161
if Uriah lived in your heart

1001
01:45:33,369 --> 01:45:36,206
as one unique spirit
that spoke to you?

1002
01:45:46,049 --> 01:45:49,093
I remember.

1003
01:45:49,302 --> 01:45:52,806
There is a man that feels
that way about you.

1004
01:45:52,972 --> 01:45:54,891
He feels...

1005
01:45:55,809 --> 01:45:58,978
that you are
the one unique spirit

1006
01:45:59,187 --> 01:46:01,815
he is destined to walk
with forever.

1007
01:46:03,525 --> 01:46:06,694
I know you are that man.

1008
01:47:29,193 --> 01:47:31,487
Solomon.

1009
01:47:47,462 --> 01:47:49,172
Let God arise.

1010
01:47:49,380 --> 01:47:51,507
Let his enemies be scattered.

1011
01:47:52,884 --> 01:47:56,137
But let the righteous
be glad.

1012
01:47:56,346 --> 01:47:58,556
Let them rejoice.

1013
01:47:58,765 --> 01:48:01,434
A father for the fatherless
is the Lord.

1014
01:48:02,685 --> 01:48:05,480
God setteth the solitary
in families.

1015
01:48:06,189 --> 01:48:08,775
I am gathered happily
with my wives, Michal,

1016
01:48:09,442 --> 01:48:10,442
Abigail,

1017
01:48:10,860 --> 01:48:12,278
and Bathsheba.

1018
01:48:12,487 --> 01:48:14,238
And all of our children.

1019
01:48:15,281 --> 01:48:16,366
Allow us, Lord,

1020
01:48:16,532 --> 01:48:19,410
to live out our lives
together in peace

1021
01:48:19,702 --> 01:48:21,454
and harmony.

1022
01:48:28,544 --> 01:48:30,922
What are you doing?
You're up to something.

1023
01:48:31,130 --> 01:48:33,925
Wait and see.
Wait and see.

1024
01:48:34,133 --> 01:48:35,385
It's Tamar, isn't it?

1025
01:48:35,593 --> 01:48:36,844
Eat this.

1026
01:48:37,679 --> 01:48:39,722
Doesn't my sister look
magnificent?

1027
01:48:39,931 --> 01:48:41,349
Yeah, she does.

1028
01:48:41,557 --> 01:48:43,267
Tamar, what are you doing?

1029
01:48:43,935 --> 01:48:45,645
That's servant's work.

1030
01:48:45,979 --> 01:48:48,356
You sometimes forget
you are the daughter of a king.

1031
01:48:49,065 --> 01:48:52,443
It's woman's work.

1032
01:48:53,111 --> 01:48:56,197
Whoever I am,
I'm still a woman, aren't I?

1033
01:48:56,406 --> 01:48:58,032
Bathsheba, what do you think?

1034
01:48:58,282 --> 01:49:00,952
Should a princess carry out
the duties of a handmaiden?

1035
01:49:01,160 --> 01:49:02,440
It is the privilege
of a princess

1036
01:49:02,495 --> 01:49:03,830
to please herself.

1037
01:49:04,288 --> 01:49:07,792
If she enjoys woman's work,
let her enjoy it.

1038
01:49:08,001 --> 01:49:09,085
And remember,

1039
01:49:09,460 --> 01:49:12,714
the only food I can bless
is what she serves me.

1040
01:49:12,922 --> 01:49:15,049
Let me go, brother.

1041
01:49:15,258 --> 01:49:17,260
That tickles.

1042
01:49:20,221 --> 01:49:21,931
David is our father,

1043
01:49:22,140 --> 01:49:23,641
but our mothers were different.

1044
01:49:24,434 --> 01:49:25,935
You're joking, Amnon.

1045
01:49:26,894 --> 01:49:28,021
I'm not.

1046
01:49:28,479 --> 01:49:30,023
I think you should be.

1047
01:49:30,481 --> 01:49:31,801
Touch her
and the wrath of Absalom

1048
01:49:31,899 --> 01:49:33,776
would fall on you like rain.

1049
01:49:33,985 --> 01:49:37,238
Not to mention your father's.

1050
01:49:37,447 --> 01:49:39,949
I've gotten around Absalom
all my life.

1051
01:49:40,742 --> 01:49:42,452
He's easy.

1052
01:49:51,878 --> 01:49:53,421
Good move, Absalom.

1053
01:50:08,186 --> 01:50:10,063
It's all right.

1054
01:50:16,986 --> 01:50:18,738
That's enough, Amnon.

1055
01:50:23,451 --> 01:50:25,828
Don't mind losing, Absalom.

1056
01:50:25,995 --> 01:50:27,622
We all still love you.

1057
01:50:31,250 --> 01:50:33,586
It seems to me as though Amnon
is going to be the soldier.

1058
01:50:35,171 --> 01:50:37,423
And Absalom, the poet.

1059
01:50:39,383 --> 01:50:41,427
How do you both feel about that?

1060
01:50:41,594 --> 01:50:42,887
Whatever you say, Father.

1061
01:50:45,598 --> 01:50:47,642
Can't we be like you, Father?

1062
01:50:48,726 --> 01:50:50,436
Can't we be both?

1063
01:51:16,671 --> 01:51:17,671
Tamar.

1064
01:51:17,839 --> 01:51:18,839
Brother.

1065
01:51:32,979 --> 01:51:35,314
I rode her too hard.

1066
01:51:35,523 --> 01:51:37,400
Her leg is broken.

1067
01:51:40,361 --> 01:51:42,196
It's better she not suffer.

1068
01:51:56,878 --> 01:51:58,796
Have you slept with a man,
Tamar?

1069
01:52:00,339 --> 01:52:02,842
What a strange question,
brother.

1070
01:52:03,050 --> 01:52:04,260
I'm unmarried.

1071
01:52:04,510 --> 01:52:06,220
Of course I'm a virgin.

1072
01:52:06,637 --> 01:52:07,930
I'm not married.

1073
01:52:08,181 --> 01:52:09,891
I've slept with women.

1074
01:52:10,099 --> 01:52:11,517
You're a man.

1075
01:52:11,684 --> 01:52:13,644
It's expected of men.

1076
01:52:14,228 --> 01:52:15,897
It is a great,
great pleasure

1077
01:52:16,105 --> 01:52:18,608
to lie in bed with a man
who longs to touch you.

1078
01:52:20,193 --> 01:52:22,945
When my husband
takes me to that bed,

1079
01:52:23,154 --> 01:52:25,448
I'll find out all about it.

1080
01:52:26,866 --> 01:52:28,618
She's pure, Amnon.

1081
01:52:28,910 --> 01:52:30,661
Why does it have to be her?

1082
01:52:30,870 --> 01:52:32,830
You could have handmaidens
by the dozen.

1083
01:52:33,414 --> 01:52:35,249
I have to be with her,

1084
01:52:36,125 --> 01:52:37,960
or I'll die.

1085
01:52:41,631 --> 01:52:43,758
Do you really mean that?

1086
01:52:43,966 --> 01:52:44,966
I do.

1087
01:52:46,928 --> 01:52:48,512
Look at you.

1088
01:52:48,721 --> 01:52:50,223
You're even starting
to look ill.

1089
01:52:51,641 --> 01:52:53,017
I'm not surprised.

1090
01:52:54,060 --> 01:52:55,895
I feel lovesick.

1091
01:53:12,245 --> 01:53:13,245
What?

1092
01:53:13,287 --> 01:53:15,331
I think I have an idea.

1093
01:53:15,957 --> 01:53:19,502
Stay here. You're about
to become quite a bit sicker.

1094
01:53:33,933 --> 01:53:36,435
Jonodab,
what's ailing Amnon?

1095
01:53:36,644 --> 01:53:37,979
He seems to have
eaten some meat

1096
01:53:38,187 --> 01:53:39,397
with worms in it,
my lord king.

1097
01:53:39,605 --> 01:53:40,856
He's taken to his bed.

1098
01:53:41,065 --> 01:53:43,192
Nothing serious, I hope.

1099
01:53:43,401 --> 01:53:45,152
He's requested a remedy.

1100
01:53:45,361 --> 01:53:48,030
Has he? What?

1101
01:53:48,239 --> 01:53:51,450
He's very fond of the honey
cakes as Tamar prepares them.

1102
01:53:51,659 --> 01:53:53,661
He wonders if she might
come to his room

1103
01:53:53,869 --> 01:53:56,038
and prepare some of these
in her own special way.

1104
01:53:56,872 --> 01:53:57,952
How is that with you, girl?

1105
01:53:58,666 --> 01:54:01,043
If it will help my brother
and his illness,

1106
01:54:01,252 --> 01:54:03,337
I'd be glad to, Father.

1107
01:54:21,564 --> 01:54:23,399
I love watching you cook.

1108
01:54:50,051 --> 01:54:52,845
Mmm. Now eat, brother.
You'll feel better.

1109
01:54:53,512 --> 01:54:54,889
Feed me.

1110
01:54:55,097 --> 01:54:56,223
Let me eat from your hand.

1111
01:55:09,904 --> 01:55:11,739
I love you, Tamar.

1112
01:55:11,947 --> 01:55:13,491
As a brother should.

1113
01:55:14,492 --> 01:55:15,868
I want you.

1114
01:55:18,245 --> 01:55:21,624
As a man wants a woman.

1115
01:55:33,427 --> 01:55:34,970
Don't force me.

1116
01:55:35,179 --> 01:55:37,306
You know it is against
every law of God.

1117
01:55:37,515 --> 01:55:38,599
Don't worry.

1118
01:55:40,518 --> 01:55:41,602
I won't hurt you.

1119
01:55:43,312 --> 01:55:46,565
If this was right, you could
ask Father's permission.

1120
01:55:46,774 --> 01:55:47,900
Silence.

1121
01:55:48,859 --> 01:55:49,859
No!

1122
01:56:11,215 --> 01:56:12,508
Get out, will you, please?

1123
01:56:15,928 --> 01:56:19,932
Please, say a kind
word to me.

1124
01:56:22,726 --> 01:56:24,895
I can't have whores in my room

1125
01:56:25,104 --> 01:56:27,982
after they've performed
their services.

1126
01:56:32,570 --> 01:56:33,946
Whores?

1127
01:56:36,657 --> 01:56:39,076
I thought you said you loved me.

1128
01:56:54,633 --> 01:56:55,633
Get out!

1129
01:57:10,816 --> 01:57:11,859
Tamar.

1130
01:57:14,153 --> 01:57:17,239
Brother. Help me.
Please help me.

1131
01:57:17,448 --> 01:57:17,907
Help me.

1132
01:57:18,115 --> 01:57:19,115
What is it, sister?

1133
01:57:19,241 --> 01:57:20,701
Amnon.

1134
01:57:25,164 --> 01:57:26,582
Tell me.

1135
01:57:40,554 --> 01:57:41,847
Absalom, what is it?

1136
01:58:14,713 --> 01:58:16,298
You have sinned...

1137
01:58:17,841 --> 01:58:19,218
Against me,

1138
01:58:19,426 --> 01:58:21,720
against your family,

1139
01:58:21,929 --> 01:58:23,389
against God.

1140
01:58:27,393 --> 01:58:30,354
You have no place in my army
or my court.

1141
01:58:30,646 --> 01:58:33,357
You will not be in my presence
at meals or at prayers.

1142
01:58:33,566 --> 01:58:35,401
You are, from now on,

1143
01:58:35,609 --> 01:58:37,486
in disgrace.

1144
01:58:41,699 --> 01:58:44,368
You take my cattle to market
at Hebron, and that is all you do

1145
01:58:44,577 --> 01:58:46,829
for this family and this nation.

1146
01:58:58,048 --> 01:59:01,260
Tamar's soul lies in pieces,
and Amnon still lives?

1147
01:59:01,468 --> 01:59:03,095
He is my son,

1148
01:59:03,304 --> 01:59:03,929
and your brother.

1149
01:59:04,138 --> 01:59:05,764
He raped your daughter.

1150
01:59:06,056 --> 01:59:07,641
We put men to death
for much less.

1151
01:59:07,850 --> 01:59:09,101
It is my decision.

1152
01:59:13,731 --> 01:59:15,774
My decisions are law.

1153
01:59:15,983 --> 01:59:17,526
Another example
of your mercy, father?

1154
01:59:17,735 --> 01:59:19,153
It's part of your legend.

1155
01:59:22,281 --> 01:59:25,701
I must be able to forgive
my own flesh and blood.

1156
01:59:25,909 --> 01:59:27,244
So must you.

1157
01:59:28,954 --> 01:59:30,080
And it's not mercy, Absalom.

1158
01:59:30,289 --> 01:59:32,625
It's how a family,
how a nation survives.

1159
01:59:35,461 --> 01:59:36,670
Absalom.

1160
01:59:41,634 --> 01:59:43,594
If we cannot find a way

1161
01:59:43,802 --> 01:59:46,722
past the sins we commit,
we cannot live.

1162
01:59:49,850 --> 01:59:52,519
Now, show me that you
understand my wisdom.

1163
01:59:54,396 --> 01:59:55,396
Embrace me.

1164
02:00:35,562 --> 02:00:36,855
Cheer up, brother.

1165
02:00:37,064 --> 02:00:38,857
The work isn't so rough.

1166
02:00:39,066 --> 02:00:41,694
What have you got
to be so happy about, brother?

1167
02:00:41,902 --> 02:00:44,738
It doesn't humiliate you
chasing cattle all day?

1168
02:00:44,947 --> 02:00:46,281
Don't worry about me.

1169
02:00:46,490 --> 02:00:48,158
I won't be doing this
for much longer.

1170
02:00:48,367 --> 02:00:49,368
You won't?

1171
02:00:49,576 --> 02:00:51,578
I'll find my way
back into the court.

1172
02:00:51,787 --> 02:00:54,581
Father will soften
his judgment against me.

1173
02:00:54,790 --> 02:00:56,250
Do you know why?

1174
02:00:56,458 --> 02:01:00,170
He'll forgive anyone just to win
back one more person's love.

1175
02:01:00,379 --> 02:01:02,631
Father's not satisfied
with God's love.

1176
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:04,717
He wants everyone else
to love him as well.

1177
02:01:06,009 --> 02:01:09,054
You have us all
figured out, Amnon.

1178
02:01:09,263 --> 02:01:11,098
I know Father.
That's all.

1179
02:01:12,182 --> 02:01:13,350
And all this

1180
02:01:13,642 --> 02:01:14,977
while my sister, Tamar

1181
02:01:15,227 --> 02:01:19,106
eats dirt and babbles
like a sick child

1182
02:01:19,314 --> 02:01:21,525
because of you.

1183
02:01:21,734 --> 02:01:23,026
You took her soul.

1184
02:01:23,277 --> 02:01:25,946
I can't believe
I'm hearing this rubbish.

1185
02:01:26,155 --> 02:01:28,532
She's a woman, Absalom.

1186
02:01:28,741 --> 02:01:30,367
Women are weak.

1187
02:01:30,576 --> 02:01:32,161
Women are born to suffer.

1188
02:01:52,014 --> 02:01:53,223
This is good.

1189
02:01:57,060 --> 02:01:58,937
Come on.

1190
02:01:59,146 --> 02:02:02,065
Come here, my pretty.
Let's dance. Come on.

1191
02:02:04,443 --> 02:02:06,862
Come on. Come on.
Come closer.

1192
02:02:07,070 --> 02:02:08,322
Come closer.

1193
02:02:11,033 --> 02:02:12,159
Oh, come on.

1194
02:02:13,786 --> 02:02:15,662
It's so good.

1195
02:02:15,871 --> 02:02:17,706
Come on.
You want to play?

1196
02:02:25,756 --> 02:02:29,092
When the wine has weakened
Amnon, strike him and kill him.

1197
02:02:34,515 --> 02:02:37,142
Come back. Come back.
Come here.

1198
02:03:20,894 --> 02:03:21,603
Tamar.

1199
02:03:21,812 --> 02:03:22,812
What is it, brother?

1200
02:03:22,938 --> 02:03:24,189
Amnon is dead.

1201
02:03:24,481 --> 02:03:25,566
I had him killed.

1202
02:03:27,234 --> 02:03:29,695
Report this to our father.

1203
02:03:29,903 --> 02:03:31,238
I have killed Amnon

1204
02:03:31,446 --> 02:03:33,448
in just judgment
for what he did to you.

1205
02:03:35,158 --> 02:03:38,704
Tell Father
I know I must be lost to him

1206
02:03:38,912 --> 02:03:41,206
for disobeying his command
and doing this.

1207
02:03:42,541 --> 02:03:45,419
Perhaps I shall never
see him again.

1208
02:03:45,627 --> 02:03:48,213
Nevertheless,
I still love him.

1209
02:03:48,422 --> 02:03:49,548
I shall love him forever.

1210
02:03:50,716 --> 02:03:52,342
Say goodbye to him for me...

1211
02:03:53,468 --> 02:03:55,554
and to all of Jerusalem.

1212
02:03:57,681 --> 02:04:00,517
I will never forget
what you've given up for me.

1213
02:04:08,775 --> 02:04:13,822
O God, you have made
the earth tremble.

1214
02:04:14,031 --> 02:04:15,616
You have broken it.

1215
02:04:16,867 --> 02:04:18,827
Heal the breaches,

1216
02:04:18,994 --> 02:04:20,913
for the earth shakes
beneath our feet.

1217
02:04:26,251 --> 02:04:28,420
You've cast us off.

1218
02:04:28,670 --> 02:04:30,422
You have scattered us.

1219
02:04:31,673 --> 02:04:33,675
Oh, please!

1220
02:04:33,884 --> 02:04:36,219
Turn yourself to us again.

1221
02:04:43,936 --> 02:04:46,146
I'm saddened for you,
my lord king.

1222
02:04:48,231 --> 02:04:48,982
Feeling sorry for me

1223
02:04:49,191 --> 02:04:51,351
is turning into a full-time
occupation for you, Nathan.

1224
02:04:51,443 --> 02:04:53,070
You have given me
and the nation

1225
02:04:53,278 --> 02:04:55,030
much reason to celebrate,
as well.

1226
02:04:56,823 --> 02:04:59,701
That's God.
Not me.

1227
02:05:01,161 --> 02:05:02,663
Amen.

1228
02:05:20,681 --> 02:05:22,182
Do you think

1229
02:05:22,391 --> 02:05:25,769
that once God starts punishing
a man, He will ever stop?

1230
02:05:27,604 --> 02:05:30,565
Perhaps it is those
who God loves the most,

1231
02:05:30,774 --> 02:05:33,110
those on whom
He lavishes His gifts,

1232
02:05:33,318 --> 02:05:35,237
that He punishes
the most severely.

1233
02:05:35,445 --> 02:05:37,572
The price of God's glory.

1234
02:05:39,866 --> 02:05:43,078
Remember what Samuel
told me all those years ago.

1235
02:05:43,286 --> 02:05:44,705
“Help David.

1236
02:05:44,913 --> 02:05:46,623
God makes it hard to be a king."

1237
02:05:58,301 --> 02:06:00,262
This is the woman in
mourning from Tekoah

1238
02:06:00,470 --> 02:06:02,139
who bids you to
give her judgment.

1239
02:06:02,597 --> 02:06:04,516
Yes.
Ask her to come in.

1240
02:06:16,486 --> 02:06:17,988
Help me, please,

1241
02:06:18,196 --> 02:06:19,865
my lord king.

1242
02:06:20,741 --> 02:06:22,784
What seems to be the problem?

1243
02:06:22,993 --> 02:06:24,161
I am a widow.

1244
02:06:24,369 --> 02:06:25,996
I had two sons.

1245
02:06:26,204 --> 02:06:28,331
They worked the fields together.

1246
02:06:28,540 --> 02:06:29,916
And they quarreled.

1247
02:06:30,125 --> 02:06:31,752
And one Killed the other.

1248
02:06:36,339 --> 02:06:37,799
Go on.

1249
02:06:40,343 --> 02:06:42,596
All the rest of my family

1250
02:06:42,804 --> 02:06:46,433
bid me to punish
my surviving son harshly.

1251
02:06:47,559 --> 02:06:49,352
But if I do that,

1252
02:06:49,561 --> 02:06:51,313
I will have no heir.

1253
02:06:51,521 --> 02:06:54,566
And my husband's name
will disappear from the earth.

1254
02:06:56,193 --> 02:06:58,278
I will have nothing.

1255
02:07:01,573 --> 02:07:04,076
Whoever...
tries to force you

1256
02:07:04,242 --> 02:07:05,911
to take your
remaining son's life

1257
02:07:06,078 --> 02:07:08,246
shall be brought to me,
and I will deal with them.

1258
02:07:17,005 --> 02:07:18,298
No one else
will bother you.

1259
02:07:19,966 --> 02:07:22,219
Thank you, my lord king.

1260
02:07:23,887 --> 02:07:26,348
God will respect no man

1261
02:07:26,556 --> 02:07:30,227
unless he devises some way
for those children he has lost

1262
02:07:30,435 --> 02:07:32,687
to be brought back to Him.

1263
02:08:14,980 --> 02:08:17,607
The man wants you
to judge him, my lord king.

1264
02:08:17,816 --> 02:08:20,110
He was burning the tents
outside the city gates

1265
02:08:20,318 --> 02:08:22,320
and trying to drain
our water supply.

1266
02:08:22,529 --> 02:08:24,573
Who on earth would do
such a stupid thing?

1267
02:08:24,781 --> 02:08:25,991
Bring him in.

1268
02:08:34,374 --> 02:08:35,667
Well?

1269
02:08:36,459 --> 02:08:38,920
I can only ask forgiveness
and understanding

1270
02:08:39,129 --> 02:08:41,882
in the words of a prayer
my father made.

1271
02:08:42,090 --> 02:08:44,676
May I speak my father's words?

1272
02:08:47,888 --> 02:08:49,181
Go ahead.

1273
02:08:50,640 --> 02:08:53,602
“Deliver me from
blood-guiltiness, o my God,

1274
02:08:53,810 --> 02:08:57,480
"and my tongue shall sing aloud
of thy righteousness.

1275
02:08:57,689 --> 02:09:00,066
“Create in me a clean heart

1276
02:09:00,275 --> 02:09:02,861
and renew a right
spirit within me."

1277
02:09:04,571 --> 02:09:06,031
Those are my words.

1278
02:09:26,760 --> 02:09:27,760
He's not our child,

1279
02:09:27,844 --> 02:09:30,180
but he is my son,
precious to me.

1280
02:09:30,388 --> 02:09:33,892
“Behold, I will raise up evil
from thine house."

1281
02:09:34,809 --> 02:09:37,520
How easily you forget
the prophet's message.

1282
02:09:39,731 --> 02:09:42,359
I know what you're thinking.

1283
02:09:42,567 --> 02:09:45,445
You think that with Absalom
permanently in disgrace,

1284
02:09:45,654 --> 02:09:47,948
my favor would fall
on Solomon.

1285
02:09:50,909 --> 02:09:54,496
I am not planning
the succession, David.

1286
02:09:54,704 --> 02:09:57,290
Simply consider this.

1287
02:09:57,791 --> 02:10:01,211
Absalom has already shed
his own brother's blood.

1288
02:10:01,419 --> 02:10:03,046
What is he capable of next?

1289
02:10:03,255 --> 02:10:04,381
He's my son!

1290
02:10:08,885 --> 02:10:10,845
Promises between men...

1291
02:10:11,054 --> 02:10:13,723
or contracts between merchants
or treaties between nations.

1292
02:10:13,932 --> 02:10:15,932
All of these can be broken
if advantage demands it.

1293
02:10:16,101 --> 02:10:18,687
But the covenant between a
father and a son can never end.

1294
02:10:22,148 --> 02:10:25,652
No matter what Absalom did, I
can never stop being his father.

1295
02:10:27,654 --> 02:10:28,780
If he does something wrong,

1296
02:10:28,989 --> 02:10:31,241
it is because
I failed to teach him.

1297
02:10:32,242 --> 02:10:34,452
He is mine,

1298
02:10:34,661 --> 02:10:35,661
as you are mine.

1299
02:10:41,042 --> 02:10:42,460
As I am God's.

1300
02:10:47,590 --> 02:10:50,927
May I ask you a frank question,
my lord prince?

1301
02:10:51,136 --> 02:10:52,136
Please.

1302
02:10:53,513 --> 02:10:55,807
If you were king...

1303
02:10:57,183 --> 02:10:59,644
would you have judged
the actions of Amnon

1304
02:10:59,853 --> 02:11:02,772
and your own deeds
as lightly as David did?

1305
02:11:02,981 --> 02:11:06,318
David faces the law
and the commands of his heart,

1306
02:11:06,526 --> 02:11:09,154
and always finds a way
to disobey the law.

1307
02:11:09,362 --> 02:11:14,117
You... chose the law
over your own blood.

1308
02:11:15,201 --> 02:11:17,787
That tells me
you are strong enough

1309
02:11:17,996 --> 02:11:20,206
to properly lead the nation.

1310
02:11:20,415 --> 02:11:24,169
Don't speak any more of
these things, Aphitophel.

1311
02:11:24,377 --> 02:11:27,797
These words are already
written in your own heart.

1312
02:11:28,006 --> 02:11:31,843
It is because of David's mercy
that I am alive at this moment.

1313
02:11:32,802 --> 02:11:34,971
If the roles had been reversed,

1314
02:11:35,180 --> 02:11:36,723
you would have
been strong enough

1315
02:11:36,931 --> 02:11:39,059
to order your son's punishment.

1316
02:11:39,267 --> 02:11:42,437
That is something you have never
forgiven your father for.

1317
02:11:42,645 --> 02:11:44,606
For that weakness

1318
02:11:44,814 --> 02:11:46,733
he calls mercy.

1319
02:11:46,941 --> 02:11:49,027
What if all you say is true,
what then?

1320
02:11:52,072 --> 02:11:55,325
Watch the elders of
the tribes and the army.

1321
02:11:55,533 --> 02:11:57,827
How they view your father.

1322
02:11:58,036 --> 02:12:01,039
There's an opportunity for you
if you only seize it.

1323
02:12:03,541 --> 02:12:05,794
With the gold
we lavish on David

1324
02:12:06,002 --> 02:12:08,171
there's no money left for food.

1325
02:12:08,380 --> 02:12:09,672
It would be one thing

1326
02:12:09,881 --> 02:12:11,441
if we could see
an end to the sacrifice.

1327
02:12:11,508 --> 02:12:13,676
But with your father,
there is no reasoning.

1328
02:12:15,720 --> 02:12:17,222
There was a time

1329
02:12:17,430 --> 02:12:20,517
when being a member
of David's army

1330
02:12:20,725 --> 02:12:22,352
meant respect.

1331
02:12:22,560 --> 02:12:25,188
He even shortchanges us
to pay for his temple now.

1332
02:12:25,397 --> 02:12:29,234
The Assyrians and Moabites are
taking ground from us every day.

1333
02:12:29,442 --> 02:12:30,753
Something has to be done.

1334
02:12:30,777 --> 02:12:31,820
Yes, but what?

1335
02:12:32,028 --> 02:12:33,668
The men can't take it anymore.

1336
02:12:33,863 --> 02:12:37,033
I know, but the longer we
stand here and wait and do nothing

1337
02:12:37,242 --> 02:12:38,785
the worse the situation gets.

1338
02:12:38,952 --> 02:12:42,580
You may answer
this question honestly.

1339
02:12:42,789 --> 02:12:45,333
If Israel had a new ruler,

1340
02:12:45,542 --> 02:12:48,128
a younger man
who would rebuild the army,

1341
02:12:48,336 --> 02:12:51,756
who would let the villagers
keep more of their wealth,

1342
02:12:51,965 --> 02:12:54,801
would you men
support him?

1343
02:12:58,388 --> 02:13:00,098
How badly do we stand
with the army, then?

1344
02:13:00,306 --> 02:13:02,346
Nearly two-thirds of all
the soldiers on foot patrol

1345
02:13:02,475 --> 02:13:03,810
in the southern part
of the nation

1346
02:13:04,018 --> 02:13:05,103
have gone over to Absalom.

1347
02:13:05,311 --> 02:13:07,564
Half of the farmers
of the villages hereabouts

1348
02:13:07,772 --> 02:13:09,357
have gone over to him as well.

1349
02:13:10,066 --> 02:13:11,192
And in the north?

1350
02:13:11,401 --> 02:13:13,695
The tribes of Israel
on the other side of the Jordan?

1351
02:13:13,903 --> 02:13:16,239
Reports of their loyalty
are still unconfirmed.

1352
02:13:18,408 --> 02:13:21,411
Aphitophel has guided
Absalom brilliantly.

1353
02:13:23,788 --> 02:13:25,148
Am I correct that here
in Jerusalem

1354
02:13:25,331 --> 02:13:27,333
is where we're at our weakest
and most vulnerable?

1355
02:13:27,542 --> 02:13:29,002
Yes, my lord.

1356
02:13:30,920 --> 02:13:33,173
If we were Philistines
or Egyptians, Joab,

1357
02:13:33,381 --> 02:13:36,134
now would be the perfect time
for us to take poison.

1358
02:13:39,220 --> 02:13:40,513
What do you think, Nathan?

1359
02:13:42,223 --> 02:13:43,850
Do you think God
loves Absalom enough

1360
02:13:44,058 --> 02:13:46,269
to see him take my life
and my crown?

1361
02:13:47,729 --> 02:13:49,856
I do not, my lord king.

1362
02:13:50,064 --> 02:13:52,066
God wants you to survive.

1363
02:13:55,320 --> 02:13:57,363
You're like a lamp
for his people.

1364
02:14:13,713 --> 02:14:17,509
We will not defend Jerusalem.

1365
02:14:19,761 --> 02:14:21,804
You will not defend Jerusalem?

1366
02:14:25,934 --> 02:14:29,062
Absalom has a superior
fighting force.

1367
02:14:29,270 --> 02:14:31,606
I've spent 15 years,
the best years of my life,

1368
02:14:31,814 --> 02:14:34,526
building this city
into the capital of the nation.

1369
02:14:34,692 --> 02:14:36,236
I'm not gonna let
all I've accomplished

1370
02:14:36,402 --> 02:14:39,239
get burned to the ground in
a few days of bloody fighting.

1371
02:14:39,447 --> 02:14:42,367
That's one sin against God
I know at least not to commit.

1372
02:14:44,786 --> 02:14:46,037
So, what do you propose?

1373
02:14:48,581 --> 02:14:50,083
We head for the north.

1374
02:14:50,291 --> 02:14:53,044
Find those men who are loyal
to David and Joab,

1375
02:14:53,253 --> 02:14:54,587
if there are any.

1376
02:14:56,339 --> 02:14:59,717
We will not sacrifice Jerusalem
for these troubles.

1377
02:15:20,280 --> 02:15:24,075
I fear for those
who must stay

1378
02:15:24,284 --> 02:15:27,537
and face the generosity
of Absalom.

1379
02:15:29,831 --> 02:15:32,500
You don't need to tell me
that you warned me about him.

1380
02:15:32,709 --> 02:15:35,003
I remember that.

1381
02:15:35,920 --> 02:15:38,423
You've been right about
almost everything, Bathsheba.

1382
02:15:38,840 --> 02:15:41,634
From the very first moment
you entered this palace.

1383
02:15:44,721 --> 02:15:50,351
And you may very well ask,
if I knew all the punishments

1384
02:15:50,560 --> 02:15:52,687
that were gonna be
heaped upon us,

1385
02:15:52,895 --> 02:15:54,772
would I still
have gone toward you?

1386
02:16:07,660 --> 02:16:10,788
It is a question
better not asked.

1387
02:16:12,957 --> 02:16:14,459
I love you.

1388
02:16:21,799 --> 02:16:23,635
I love you, too.

1389
02:16:30,683 --> 02:16:32,310
I'm sorry.

1390
02:16:33,603 --> 02:16:35,605
So sorry for your city.

1391
02:16:40,735 --> 02:16:43,112
Keep not thy silence, o God.

1392
02:16:43,321 --> 02:16:46,282
Hold not thy peace
and be not still.

1393
02:16:46,491 --> 02:16:48,868
Thine enemies make a tumult.

1394
02:16:49,035 --> 02:16:51,412
They that hate thee
have lifted their heads.

1395
02:16:52,538 --> 02:16:55,291
They have taken crafty counsel
against thy people.

1396
02:16:55,500 --> 02:16:58,378
They have said, “Come, let us
cut them off from their nation,

1397
02:16:58,586 --> 02:17:03,174
that the name of Israel
may be no more in remembrance."

1398
02:17:03,758 --> 02:17:05,635
Fill their faces with shame,

1399
02:17:05,843 --> 02:17:07,553
that they may seek
thy name, o Lord.

1400
02:17:09,931 --> 02:17:11,808
Fill their faces with shame.

1401
02:17:19,607 --> 02:17:20,607
David!

1402
02:17:23,361 --> 02:17:24,361
David.

1403
02:17:25,780 --> 02:17:27,865
My tribe of Gittite people
wish to join you.

1404
02:17:28,408 --> 02:17:30,993
My road is long
and hard, Ittai.

1405
02:17:31,202 --> 02:17:33,037
You and your people
will be safe in Jerusalem.

1406
02:17:33,204 --> 02:17:34,789
You've only lived here
a short time.

1407
02:17:34,956 --> 02:17:37,792
And if you remain, you will
continue to have my blessing.

1408
02:17:38,334 --> 02:17:40,128
We are your servants.

1409
02:17:40,336 --> 02:17:44,298
But we have sworn an oath
to your kingdom.

1410
02:17:44,507 --> 02:17:46,134
And the kingdom of David

1411
02:17:46,342 --> 02:17:48,052
is wherever David is.

1412
02:17:48,219 --> 02:17:50,221
Thank you, Ittai.
I am glad of your support.

1413
02:18:02,900 --> 02:18:05,778
Zadok, the Ark must remain
in the city.

1414
02:18:05,987 --> 02:18:07,363
But, my lord king,

1415
02:18:07,572 --> 02:18:10,324
it cannot fall
into Absalom's hands.

1416
02:18:11,659 --> 02:18:13,786
If I find favor with God

1417
02:18:13,995 --> 02:18:16,414
I will return to Jerusalem
and see the Ark again.

1418
02:18:16,581 --> 02:18:17,832
If not...

1419
02:18:18,040 --> 02:18:20,042
it will offer me no protection
against Absalom.

1420
02:18:21,919 --> 02:18:22,919
Nathan?

1421
02:18:25,673 --> 02:18:27,341
You're right, my lord king.

1422
02:18:27,550 --> 02:18:28,801
The Ark must remain.

1423
02:19:23,648 --> 02:19:25,358
Bahurim.

1424
02:19:25,566 --> 02:19:27,847
Maybe we'll find someone who
sympathizes with us up there.

1425
02:19:27,985 --> 02:19:29,570
Let's go on ahead.

1426
02:19:44,544 --> 02:19:45,878
Go away!

1427
02:19:46,170 --> 02:19:49,048
Get out of here!
We curse you!

1428
02:19:56,639 --> 02:19:58,099
Why do you throw stones at us?

1429
02:19:59,976 --> 02:20:00,977
If you hate us so much,

1430
02:20:01,185 --> 02:20:02,745
Why don't you join
Absalom in Jerusalem?

1431
02:20:02,937 --> 02:20:05,314
I am Shimei, the Benjamite.

1432
02:20:05,523 --> 02:20:07,525
Nephew of Abner and Jonathan.

1433
02:20:09,360 --> 02:20:12,738
And we curse both David
and his son Absalom.

1434
02:20:15,116 --> 02:20:18,327
You have Saul's blood
on your hands.

1435
02:20:18,536 --> 02:20:22,081
You have stolen
his kingdom like a thief.

1436
02:20:22,290 --> 02:20:25,209
And if your son turns on you
like a thief as well,

1437
02:20:25,418 --> 02:20:26,961
then God is just,

1438
02:20:27,169 --> 02:20:29,547
and you are a bloody man.

1439
02:20:35,094 --> 02:20:36,554
Now turn away.

1440
02:20:36,762 --> 02:20:39,765
You'll find nowhere to hide
here in Bahurim.

1441
02:21:32,568 --> 02:21:34,111
Order me, my lord king,

1442
02:21:34,320 --> 02:21:38,115
to take a few guards into
Bahurim and pay Shimei a visit.

1443
02:21:38,324 --> 02:21:41,869
Why should we let that dead dog
curse you and live another day?

1444
02:21:43,204 --> 02:21:46,123
Let me go over there
and take off his head.

1445
02:21:47,667 --> 02:21:50,211
No doubt he too thinks
he has God's blessing.

1446
02:21:51,963 --> 02:21:53,756
It seems as though
a lot of men thrive

1447
02:21:53,965 --> 02:21:55,591
on hating me
at the moment.

1448
02:21:55,800 --> 02:21:58,761
The Benjamites at least
have some reason.

1449
02:21:58,970 --> 02:22:01,639
Compared with Absalom,
who is my own flesh and blood.

1450
02:22:04,558 --> 02:22:06,477
Let Shimei and his men

1451
02:22:06,686 --> 02:22:08,980
curse me and throw
stones at me.

1452
02:22:09,188 --> 02:22:11,023
God may see our afflictions

1453
02:22:11,232 --> 02:22:14,110
and repay us with good
for what we're suffering.

1454
02:22:18,990 --> 02:22:20,241
Like Saul,

1455
02:22:20,449 --> 02:22:23,828
you're still letting
those who hate you flourish.

1456
02:22:24,036 --> 02:22:26,372
It is a policy that is harming
us to this day.

1457
02:22:28,749 --> 02:22:31,460
I have a few ideas
about fighting back.

1458
02:22:34,255 --> 02:22:37,091
Send for that friend
of Aphitophel's.

1459
02:22:37,299 --> 02:22:38,759
Hushai, I think
his name is.

1460
02:22:54,483 --> 02:22:56,318
Hushai, my lord king.

1461
02:22:58,237 --> 02:23:00,156
You called for me,
my lord king?

1462
02:23:01,198 --> 02:23:03,325
You study with Nathan
and Zadok?

1463
02:23:03,534 --> 02:23:05,494
Yes, my lord king.

1464
02:23:05,703 --> 02:23:06,703
You are known to the one

1465
02:23:06,829 --> 02:23:09,832
who calls himself
Absalom's advisor, Aphitophel?

1466
02:23:10,708 --> 02:23:11,917
Yes.

1467
02:23:19,759 --> 02:23:21,552
I'm going to ask you
to do something

1468
02:23:21,761 --> 02:23:23,429
you might
find painful, Hushai.

1469
02:23:23,596 --> 02:23:25,639
Ask, my lord king.

1470
02:23:26,307 --> 02:23:29,977
I want you to return
to the comfort of Jerusalem.

1471
02:23:30,186 --> 02:23:33,272
But I want to be here,
with you and Nathan.

1472
02:23:33,481 --> 02:23:35,316
You cannot
help me here.

1473
02:23:35,524 --> 02:23:38,778
But, if you can get close
to Absalom,

1474
02:23:38,986 --> 02:23:41,947
you may defeat
the counsels of Aphitophel.

1475
02:23:44,575 --> 02:23:45,826
I see,
my lord king.

1476
02:23:46,744 --> 02:23:49,747
Go to Jerusalem.
Go now.

1477
02:24:02,927 --> 02:24:04,929
The council of elders,
my lord king.

1478
02:24:07,264 --> 02:24:08,599
My lord king.

1479
02:24:09,767 --> 02:24:11,727
The council of elders
wants to know,

1480
02:24:11,936 --> 02:24:14,480
will you stop collecting
tribute for the temple?

1481
02:24:14,688 --> 02:24:17,358
For the time being,
all your tribute

1482
02:24:17,566 --> 02:24:19,985
will go towards
strengthening the army.

1483
02:24:20,194 --> 02:24:22,947
My father
is a cruel, old leopard.

1484
02:24:23,155 --> 02:24:26,742
He has to be hunted down,
cornered and killed.

1485
02:24:28,035 --> 02:24:30,246
That is the first work
of the nation.

1486
02:24:30,996 --> 02:24:32,236
Nothing else
can be accomplished

1487
02:24:32,414 --> 02:24:35,584
until David
is no longer a threat.

1488
02:24:35,793 --> 02:24:37,837
Agreed,
my lord king.

1489
02:24:42,842 --> 02:24:44,468
Absalom!

1490
02:24:47,012 --> 02:24:48,889
Absalom!

1491
02:24:59,817 --> 02:25:01,861
You are Ahimaz,
nephew of Zadok.

1492
02:25:02,027 --> 02:25:03,779
Priest to David.

1493
02:25:04,530 --> 02:25:05,281
Who says so?

1494
02:25:05,489 --> 02:25:06,615
Your king.

1495
02:25:06,824 --> 02:25:09,160
Your true king, David,
may require a service from you.

1496
02:25:09,827 --> 02:25:11,203
Be ready.

1497
02:25:29,972 --> 02:25:31,182
The young priest, Hushai,

1498
02:25:31,390 --> 02:25:33,225
would like to greet the king.

1499
02:25:44,445 --> 02:25:46,447
The king recognizes
in Hushai

1500
02:25:46,655 --> 02:25:49,408
a brilliant student
of Nathan and Zadok.

1501
02:25:53,704 --> 02:25:56,123
Are you comfortable
in swearing loyalty to me?

1502
02:25:57,291 --> 02:26:00,628
I am a great believer
in youth and power.

1503
02:26:02,296 --> 02:26:03,547
The Lord favored David

1504
02:26:03,756 --> 02:26:07,009
when he was young,
and fought a weak king.

1505
02:26:07,218 --> 02:26:10,971
Now, Absalom
is similarly favored.

1506
02:26:17,519 --> 02:26:19,188
Well spoken.

1507
02:27:03,232 --> 02:27:04,525
On the other side
of that door

1508
02:27:04,733 --> 02:27:06,944
are three
of David's concubines.

1509
02:27:07,695 --> 02:27:09,697
Take them tonight,
all of them.

1510
02:27:10,739 --> 02:27:13,242
That way, you will
fulfill the prophecy

1511
02:27:13,993 --> 02:27:16,370
and everyone will know
that what once was David's

1512
02:27:17,496 --> 02:27:18,956
is now yours.

1513
02:27:27,423 --> 02:27:29,341
Solomon.

1514
02:27:35,931 --> 02:27:37,141
The news
is not good?

1515
02:27:37,349 --> 02:27:40,352
None of the villagers this close
to Jerusalem want to join us.

1516
02:27:41,020 --> 02:27:42,396
In fact,
nobody in this area

1517
02:27:42,604 --> 02:27:44,315
is prepared to meet
with the regular army.

1518
02:27:44,523 --> 02:27:45,858
Won't they give us
any food?

1519
02:27:46,066 --> 02:27:47,151
They're afraid.

1520
02:27:48,068 --> 02:27:49,445
Absalom has troops everywhere.

1521
02:27:51,030 --> 02:27:52,823
Our only hope
are the tribes of Judea

1522
02:27:53,032 --> 02:27:54,283
on the other side
of the river.

1523
02:27:54,491 --> 02:27:56,051
We're too weak
to make a river crossing.

1524
02:27:56,160 --> 02:27:59,121
David, if Absalom catches you
with the river at your back,

1525
02:28:00,247 --> 02:28:01,623
he will annihilate you.

1526
02:28:04,918 --> 02:28:08,547
We should pursue
David with all our forces now,

1527
02:28:08,756 --> 02:28:11,550
tonight, while he's weary.

1528
02:28:11,759 --> 02:28:13,010
And with little support,

1529
02:28:13,218 --> 02:28:15,512
we can kill him
without many losses.

1530
02:28:17,389 --> 02:28:19,933
Hushai, what do you say?

1531
02:28:21,143 --> 02:28:24,146
I think my learned friend
is wrong.

1532
02:28:24,605 --> 02:28:26,231
You know that
your father and Joab

1533
02:28:26,440 --> 02:28:30,069
and their best men
are still strong soldiers.

1534
02:28:30,736 --> 02:28:32,071
You strike at them now,

1535
02:28:32,780 --> 02:28:34,573
they're like
a wounded bear,

1536
02:28:35,115 --> 02:28:38,327
ready to put up their angriest,
bloodiest fight.

1537
02:28:38,869 --> 02:28:40,079
If ever there was a time

1538
02:28:40,287 --> 02:28:43,791
when David would be likely
to frighten your men,

1539
02:28:44,041 --> 02:28:45,834
it's now.

1540
02:28:46,043 --> 02:28:47,252
My counsel...

1541
02:28:48,587 --> 02:28:50,130
is to wait.

1542
02:28:52,508 --> 02:28:56,220
Let all the men of Israel
from Dan to Sheba join you.

1543
02:28:56,720 --> 02:29:01,016
You will fall on him then
like a hard rain.

1544
02:29:18,992 --> 02:29:21,370
I accept Hushai's counsel.

1545
02:29:24,540 --> 02:29:25,666
We will wait.

1546
02:29:26,750 --> 02:29:28,252
We wouldn't want it
to be said

1547
02:29:28,460 --> 02:29:31,255
that slaughter was the
purpose of Absalom's rule.

1548
02:29:50,941 --> 02:29:52,484
- Can you run?
- Yes.

1549
02:29:52,693 --> 02:29:54,695
Run to David's camp
just north of Bahurim.

1550
02:29:54,903 --> 02:29:57,281
Tell him he must cross
the river without delay.

1551
02:29:57,489 --> 02:29:59,450
Tell him I do not know
how much longer Absalom

1552
02:29:59,658 --> 02:30:00,659
will heed my counsel.

1553
02:30:00,868 --> 02:30:01,886
Can you remember
all of that?

1554
02:30:01,910 --> 02:30:02,703
Yes, I can.

1555
02:30:02,911 --> 02:30:04,329
Then run.

1556
02:30:34,401 --> 02:30:35,903
Who is that?

1557
02:30:43,577 --> 02:30:44,995
This is Ahimaz.

1558
02:30:45,204 --> 02:30:47,831
Blood kin to Zadok and
loyal to you, my lord king.

1559
02:30:48,040 --> 02:30:48,624
Yes?

1560
02:30:48,832 --> 02:30:52,503
My lord king, I have news
from your servant, Hushai.

1561
02:30:52,711 --> 02:30:53,879
Come in, come in.

1562
02:33:48,220 --> 02:33:50,722
We will commence
the war against David

1563
02:33:50,889 --> 02:33:54,351
in Aphitophel's honor,
at sunrise.

1564
02:33:58,605 --> 02:33:59,398
My lord king,

1565
02:33:59,606 --> 02:34:01,733
please welcome
Shobi of Rabbah,

1566
02:34:01,942 --> 02:34:03,193
Machir of Lodebar,

1567
02:34:03,402 --> 02:34:05,278
And Brarzilla of Rogelim.

1568
02:34:05,487 --> 02:34:07,155
They all head militias
of their villages,

1569
02:34:07,364 --> 02:34:09,741
and they're all prepared
to fight for us.

1570
02:34:10,158 --> 02:34:11,493
We are honored
to help,

1571
02:34:11,702 --> 02:34:13,620
my lord king.

1572
02:34:13,829 --> 02:34:16,873
You'll each take one half
of the force, and I will lead.

1573
02:34:17,082 --> 02:34:18,834
No, you can't.

1574
02:34:20,168 --> 02:34:21,168
Why not?

1575
02:34:21,878 --> 02:34:23,088
If you
are with us,

1576
02:34:23,505 --> 02:34:24,631
and the battle goes poorly,

1577
02:34:25,632 --> 02:34:27,467
they will kill all of us
to get to you.

1578
02:34:29,052 --> 02:34:31,304
If you are not seen
on the field,

1579
02:34:31,596 --> 02:34:34,891
we may survive a defeat well
enough to fight another day.

1580
02:34:36,226 --> 02:34:37,227
Ittai, what do you think?

1581
02:34:38,395 --> 02:34:39,604
I agree.

1582
02:34:42,983 --> 02:34:45,318
Very well then, Joab.
You will lead.

1583
02:34:46,027 --> 02:34:47,779
Where will
you meet them?

1584
02:34:47,988 --> 02:34:50,991
At the wood of Ephraim,
where they will be tired

1585
02:34:51,199 --> 02:34:52,242
after crossing
the river.

1586
02:34:55,370 --> 02:34:57,164
One last thing,
Joab.

1587
02:34:57,372 --> 02:34:59,458
If it is at all possible
to save the life of Absalom,

1588
02:34:59,916 --> 02:35:01,543
please find a way.

1589
02:35:11,762 --> 02:35:13,722
Forward!

1590
02:35:15,807 --> 02:35:18,059
I used to be frightened
entering a battle.

1591
02:35:18,685 --> 02:35:20,479
Now I'm frightened
not to enter it.

1592
02:36:39,015 --> 02:36:40,308
Absalom!

1593
02:36:40,809 --> 02:36:42,769
Absalom!

1594
02:37:19,598 --> 02:37:21,474
We must follow Absalom!

1595
02:40:03,845 --> 02:40:05,263
Go.

1596
02:40:05,764 --> 02:40:07,557
Tell the king
what we have done.

1597
02:40:28,078 --> 02:40:29,412
Follow lttai.

1598
02:40:29,621 --> 02:40:31,331
Inform the king.

1599
02:40:52,435 --> 02:40:53,435
A rider.

1600
02:40:53,478 --> 02:40:55,063
No, two.

1601
02:40:55,271 --> 02:40:56,271
First one's Ittai.

1602
02:40:56,439 --> 02:40:58,024
A good man.

1603
02:40:59,776 --> 02:41:00,776
He brings good tidings.

1604
02:41:01,569 --> 02:41:03,029
I feel it.

1605
02:41:08,284 --> 02:41:11,746
All is well,
my lord king.

1606
02:41:12,872 --> 02:41:15,500
Blessed be the Lord God,
who delivered up those men

1607
02:41:15,708 --> 02:41:17,836
who raised their hands
against you.

1608
02:41:20,255 --> 02:41:21,506
What news of Absalom,
my son?

1609
02:41:22,048 --> 02:41:23,800
Is he captive?

1610
02:41:24,008 --> 02:41:26,010
Is he prisoner?
Is he safe?

1611
02:41:26,219 --> 02:41:30,390
Uh, I...
I cannot say, my lord king.

1612
02:41:30,598 --> 02:41:34,018
Joab and a detachment
sought after him.

1613
02:41:34,227 --> 02:41:36,813
There was
furious fighting, but...

1614
02:41:38,815 --> 02:41:40,650
I do not know the results.

1615
02:41:47,240 --> 02:41:47,907
Well?

1616
02:41:48,116 --> 02:41:50,285
Good news,
my lord king.

1617
02:41:51,578 --> 02:41:53,204
For God has delivered
you this day

1618
02:41:53,413 --> 02:41:55,582
from the power of those
who rose against you.

1619
02:41:57,167 --> 02:41:58,209
And Absalom?

1620
02:42:03,256 --> 02:42:05,258
May all the enemies
of King David,

1621
02:42:05,925 --> 02:42:07,760
God's anointed,

1622
02:42:08,511 --> 02:42:11,055
meet the same fate
as that young man has.

1623
02:42:17,520 --> 02:42:19,063
Oh, my son.

1624
02:42:19,772 --> 02:42:21,065
My son.

1625
02:42:21,858 --> 02:42:23,318
Absalom!

1626
02:42:25,570 --> 02:42:28,239
Why couldn't God take my life
instead of yours?

1627
02:42:56,267 --> 02:42:57,602
Please.

1628
02:43:03,858 --> 02:43:04,858
Leave me.

1629
02:43:24,212 --> 02:43:25,463
My lord king,

1630
02:43:25,672 --> 02:43:27,340
you have turned
this day's victory

1631
02:43:27,548 --> 02:43:29,342
into a ceremony
of mourning.

1632
02:43:29,550 --> 02:43:33,304
The camp speaks only
of your grief for your son.

1633
02:43:39,102 --> 02:43:40,102
David.

1634
02:43:43,147 --> 02:43:44,147
David.

1635
02:43:46,192 --> 02:43:48,027
We have been together
a long time.

1636
02:43:50,154 --> 02:43:51,739
And I have
always loved you.

1637
02:43:53,324 --> 02:43:56,035
And I've always tried
to understand

1638
02:43:56,244 --> 02:43:57,620
the way you feel,

1639
02:43:57,829 --> 02:43:59,956
the way
you see things.

1640
02:44:02,458 --> 02:44:04,085
But today,
you disgraced yourself...

1641
02:44:05,670 --> 02:44:06,670
and me...

1642
02:44:07,588 --> 02:44:09,007
and all your men.

1643
02:44:10,133 --> 02:44:11,384
How's that?

1644
02:44:11,884 --> 02:44:13,469
You not only
love your enemies,

1645
02:44:14,887 --> 02:44:16,647
you seem to love them
more than your friends.

1646
02:44:17,724 --> 02:44:19,392
If all your loyal
followers had died,

1647
02:44:19,600 --> 02:44:24,105
and Absalom had lived
to crush your kingdom,

1648
02:44:25,690 --> 02:44:26,899
You would
have been pleased.

1649
02:44:29,485 --> 02:44:31,654
What would you have me do?

1650
02:44:31,863 --> 02:44:33,906
Return to Jerusalem.

1651
02:44:34,741 --> 02:44:35,908
Stand up at the gates,

1652
02:44:36,826 --> 02:44:39,579
and thank all those
who were loyal to you this day.

1653
02:44:40,955 --> 02:44:42,832
Honor them
with your greeting.

1654
02:44:44,083 --> 02:44:45,243
Or they will start
a rebellion

1655
02:44:45,418 --> 02:44:47,670
more dangerous than the one
we put down today.

1656
02:44:51,257 --> 02:44:52,258
Be king, David.

1657
02:44:57,180 --> 02:44:58,389
Be king again.

1658
02:45:59,534 --> 02:46:04,080
Praise be to King David
of the Israelites!

1659
02:46:22,348 --> 02:46:23,975
Hail!

1660
02:46:31,357 --> 02:46:34,110
I know this victory
is hollow for you.

1661
02:46:42,660 --> 02:46:43,828
My sorrow...

1662
02:46:44,871 --> 02:46:47,540
is not just for myself.

1663
02:46:48,124 --> 02:46:49,959
With both my sons gone,
how can I be sure

1664
02:46:50,168 --> 02:46:53,087
that this kingdom will survive
on a firm foundation?

1665
02:46:55,131 --> 02:46:58,718
You taught me that after
every trial the nation faces,

1666
02:46:58,926 --> 02:47:01,012
it emerges
stronger than before.

1667
02:47:02,138 --> 02:47:05,558
And you said this was proof
of God's love.

1668
02:47:05,766 --> 02:47:08,478
No matter what mistakes
and ordeals we suffer,

1669
02:47:08,686 --> 02:47:10,021
God loves us,

1670
02:47:11,272 --> 02:47:13,024
and calls us
back to him.

1671
02:47:15,401 --> 02:47:18,863
You must go
and listen to God.

1672
02:47:53,022 --> 02:47:55,441
You have made great wars,

1673
02:47:55,650 --> 02:47:58,486
and have shed blood
in great abundance.

1674
02:47:58,694 --> 02:48:02,448
Therefore,
you shall not build My temple.

1675
02:48:05,368 --> 02:48:10,081
Solomon, your son, shall sit
upon the throne of Israel.

1676
02:48:10,831 --> 02:48:13,626
I will give him rest
from his enemies

1677
02:48:13,834 --> 02:48:16,587
so that he can be
a man of peace.

1678
02:48:42,905 --> 02:48:45,741
And so it shall be Solomon

1679
02:48:45,950 --> 02:48:47,535
who will build My temple.

1680
02:50:41,607 --> 02:50:44,568
Your son shall be My son.

1681
02:50:47,238 --> 02:50:49,532
And I will be his father.

1682
02:50:52,993 --> 02:50:55,788
And I will establish
his kingdom...

1683
02:50:56,706 --> 02:50:58,124
Forever.
