00:00:02,109 --> 00:00:03,150
(H.ALNEAIMI)
2
00:00:03,150 --> 00:00:06,067
(horses whinnying)
3
00:00:06,943 --> 00:00:08,953
(man roars)
4
00:00:08,953 --> 00:00:11,377
(drivers barking)
5
00:00:11,377 --> 00:00:14,210
(horses clomping)
6
00:00:16,845 --> 00:00:21,845
(carts rattling)
(drivers barking)
7
00:00:28,036 --> 00:00:30,764
(people shouting)
8
00:00:30,764 --> 00:00:33,431
(cart rattling)
9
00:00:34,326 --> 00:00:37,159
(people cheering)
10
00:00:44,049 --> 00:00:47,343
(wood crashing)
11
00:00:47,343 --> 00:00:48,797
(Adonijah yelps)
12
00:00:48,797 --> 00:00:49,946
(horse whinnies)
13
00:00:49,946 --> 00:00:53,042
(Adonijah grunting)
14
00:00:53,042 --> 00:00:54,292
- Whoa, ho, ho!
15
00:00:57,843 --> 00:01:00,426
Adonijah, Adonijah, my brother!
16
00:01:01,872 --> 00:01:03,579
Are you hurt?
17
00:01:03,579 --> 00:01:05,950
- Oh, of course not, Solomon.
18
00:01:05,950 --> 00:01:07,950
I always end a race this way.
19
00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:09,330
- No, don't move.
20
00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:10,617
Let me see if you're injured.
21
00:01:10,617 --> 00:01:12,720
- So you're a physician now, too?
22
00:01:13,794 --> 00:01:15,820
Is there anything you don't know, Solomon?
23
00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:17,100
- I know you're too mean to be hurt
24
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:18,120
by such a minor accident.
25
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,103
- Minor accident?
26
00:01:20,668 --> 00:01:22,090
It was spectacular.
27
00:01:22,090 --> 00:01:23,390
- I thought you'd been killed.
28
00:01:23,390 --> 00:01:26,288
Imagine my disappointment
now to see you still alive.
29
00:01:26,288 --> 00:01:27,538
- Away from me!
30
00:01:28,973 --> 00:01:32,060
I'm not hurt. (pants)
31
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:33,440
I won, Solomon.
32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,810
- Won?
33
00:01:34,810 --> 00:01:37,440
You have to cross the finish line to win.
34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:38,273
Look at you.
35
00:01:38,273 --> 00:01:39,673
You can't even walk.
36
00:01:40,948 --> 00:01:42,031
- I can walk.
37
00:01:47,562 --> 00:01:48,540
(body thuds)
38
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:50,390
- [Solomon] Pick him up, pick him up!
39
00:01:51,259 --> 00:01:52,861
Break camp!
40
00:01:52,861 --> 00:01:55,629
The hunt is over, to Jerusalem!
41
00:01:55,629 --> 00:01:57,119
(people shouting)
(dramatic orchestral music)
42
00:01:57,119 --> 00:01:59,869
(metal clanking)
43
00:02:10,467 --> 00:02:13,217
(carts rattling)
44
00:02:35,335 --> 00:02:38,168
(horses clomping)
45
00:02:42,262 --> 00:02:45,179
(gravel crunching)
46
00:03:29,841 --> 00:03:34,841
(carts rattling)
(metal clanking)
47
00:04:02,691 --> 00:04:04,615
- Are you in need of help?
48
00:04:04,615 --> 00:04:06,327
- Only if you're a physician.
49
00:04:06,327 --> 00:04:07,405
- Physician?
50
00:04:07,405 --> 00:04:09,640
(laughs) No, no, my lord.
51
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,073
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
52
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:15,810
But my daughter is skilled in herbs.
53
00:04:15,810 --> 00:04:18,233
Many people say she has healed them.
54
00:04:19,140 --> 00:04:20,530
- What is your name?
55
00:04:20,530 --> 00:04:22,960
- I am Azarel Ben-Asaph from Jaffa.
56
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,183
I travel to Jerusalem to sell salt fish.
57
00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:30,271
Ah, this is my daughter, if we
can be of any help, my lord.
58
00:04:30,271 --> 00:04:32,370
(birds chirping)
59
00:04:32,370 --> 00:04:33,670
- What is her name?
60
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:35,320
- [Azarel] She is called Abishag.
61
00:04:37,130 --> 00:04:39,600
- I am Solomon, son of King David.
62
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,500
This is my half-brother,
also King David's son.
63
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:43,390
If you can help him, there'll be
64
00:04:43,390 --> 00:04:44,940
a handsome reward, I can assure you.
65
00:04:44,940 --> 00:04:46,710
- To aid the son of our great king
66
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:48,010
is reward enough, my lord.
67
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,220
- There's an oasis just there.
68
00:04:51,220 --> 00:04:53,233
We'll test your daughter's healing powers.
69
00:04:53,233 --> 00:04:57,850
(metal clanking)
(carts rattling)
70
00:04:57,850 --> 00:04:59,670
(Azarel retches)
71
00:04:59,670 --> 00:05:02,630
(both laughing)
72
00:05:02,630 --> 00:05:05,470
- Why the fish themselves do not get sick
73
00:05:05,470 --> 00:05:07,565
is a great mystery to me, my lord.
74
00:05:07,565 --> 00:05:11,005
(both laughing)
75
00:05:11,005 --> 00:05:11,838
- Solomon.
76
00:05:13,391 --> 00:05:14,537
- Adonijah!
77
00:05:14,537 --> 00:05:15,925
(Azarel laughs)
(Azarel claps)
78
00:05:15,925 --> 00:05:17,410
Are you all right?
79
00:05:17,410 --> 00:05:18,440
Your wounds!
80
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,893
- Nearly painless.
81
00:05:20,860 --> 00:05:22,420
Would that I had been injured before
82
00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:26,610
were I to be touched by
this woman. (chuckles)
83
00:05:27,486 --> 00:05:28,493
Abishag, come out.
84
00:05:30,525 --> 00:05:33,620
Have you ever seen such a creature?
85
00:05:33,620 --> 00:05:36,470
And her hands, they are touched by God.
86
00:05:36,470 --> 00:05:39,393
She heals just by laying on.
87
00:05:40,890 --> 00:05:43,781
- Perhaps you'd like to meet her father.
88
00:05:43,781 --> 00:05:45,560
Azarel Ben-Asaph from Jaffa meet
89
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,850
the recently-revived
Adonijah from Jerusalem,
90
00:05:47,850 --> 00:05:50,190
the son of King David and Haggith.
91
00:05:50,190 --> 00:05:52,299
- Sir, I'd like to buy your daughter.
92
00:05:52,299 --> 00:05:54,320
(Solomon laughing)
93
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,113
- She's not for sale, my lord.
94
00:05:57,113 --> 00:05:58,643
- Then I'd like to marry her.
95
00:05:59,770 --> 00:06:01,038
- No, my lord.
96
00:06:01,038 --> 00:06:02,580
- (laughs) You?
97
00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:05,608
Married? (laughs)
98
00:06:05,608 --> 00:06:09,275
(dramatic orchestral music)
99
00:06:25,045 --> 00:06:30,045
(people chattering)
(horses clomping)
100
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,910
May the King live forever.
101
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:52,010
Your blessing, Father.
102
00:06:54,130 --> 00:06:56,040
- Lord bless you and keep you.
103
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,990
God make His face to shine upon
you and be gracious to you.
104
00:06:59,980 --> 00:07:02,830
So, the hunt went well?
105
00:07:02,830 --> 00:07:04,460
No, Father, no game was seen.
106
00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:07,527
- Oh, so no tales to tell, then.
107
00:07:07,527 --> 00:07:09,391
- [Solomon] Oh, a tale
of near death to tell.
108
00:07:09,391 --> 00:07:10,322
- What?
109
00:07:10,322 --> 00:07:12,320
- Adonijah challenged me to a race.
110
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,160
- [David] Oh, an accident?
111
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,980
- He was thrown from his
chariot when it overturned.
112
00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:17,903
- Is he injured?
113
00:07:17,903 --> 00:07:19,310
- Well, that's the most interesting part.
114
00:07:19,310 --> 00:07:21,170
He was hurt, badly.
115
00:07:21,170 --> 00:07:22,310
He was cut, broken.
116
00:07:22,310 --> 00:07:23,143
He passed out as we were rushing him
117
00:07:23,143 --> 00:07:26,640
here to the court
physicians, but on the way,
118
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,090
we met an old merchant and his family,
119
00:07:29,090 --> 00:07:31,650
a dealer in salt fish, O Illustrious One,
120
00:07:31,650 --> 00:07:34,210
though never have I set
foot on a boat myself.
121
00:07:34,210 --> 00:07:37,162
The motion, Great One, it
brings on the sickness.
122
00:07:37,162 --> 00:07:38,570
(chuckles) Why the fish themselves
123
00:07:38,570 --> 00:07:40,544
are not sick is a mystery to me, my lord.
124
00:07:40,544 --> 00:07:42,076
(both laughing)
125
00:07:42,076 --> 00:07:44,659
(David coughs)
126
00:07:47,450 --> 00:07:51,180
But then his daughter, a
great beauty, took Adonijah
127
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:52,970
into their tent, and within an hour,
128
00:07:52,970 --> 00:07:56,121
he was nearly whole, an amazing cure.
129
00:07:56,121 --> 00:07:57,730
- How?
130
00:07:57,730 --> 00:07:59,930
- Herbs and a knowledge
of nature, she says.
131
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,140
- Bring her to me, Solomon.
132
00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:07,540
Perhaps she can do something
with this old body.
133
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,793
- I will.
134
00:08:12,830 --> 00:08:14,090
(people chattering)
(horses clomping)
135
00:08:14,090 --> 00:08:15,179
- Acknowledge them.
136
00:08:15,179 --> 00:08:16,544
It is you they're cheering.
(people applauding)
137
00:08:16,544 --> 00:08:19,611
- (chuckles) Is it wise to be
seen riding together, Joab?
138
00:08:19,611 --> 00:08:21,100
- What could be more natural?
139
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:22,400
You take an interest in the army,
140
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,400
so you ride with the general in command.
141
00:08:25,820 --> 00:08:27,020
But much more important.
142
00:08:27,020 --> 00:08:28,420
- [Adonijah] Yes?
143
00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:30,590
- It shows that the army is behind you.
144
00:08:30,590 --> 00:08:32,040
Solomon's a weakling.
145
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,881
- You speak harshly of my brother?
146
00:08:33,881 --> 00:08:35,480
- Half-brother.
147
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,250
With him on the throne, this country
148
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:38,850
will fall apart within five years.
149
00:08:38,850 --> 00:08:40,596
- Or Bathsheba would rule.
150
00:08:40,596 --> 00:08:42,512
Solomon's mother's not as strong
as she would like to think.
151
00:08:42,512 --> 00:08:44,330
- Stronger than her son.
152
00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:45,215
- So is my eunuch.
153
00:08:45,215 --> 00:08:47,010
(both laughing)
154
00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:48,740
Bathsheba doesn't understand
that Israel's strength
155
00:08:48,740 --> 00:08:50,080
lies in her fighting men.
156
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,764
You do, so the army's behind you.
157
00:08:51,764 --> 00:08:52,597
(Adonijah chuckles)
158
00:08:52,597 --> 00:08:54,180
And look at the people, they love you.
159
00:08:54,180 --> 00:08:56,884
You're the image of
what a prince should be.
160
00:08:56,884 --> 00:08:58,202
And when the time comes, and I think
161
00:08:58,202 --> 00:09:00,620
it will not be long, we must strike.
162
00:09:00,620 --> 00:09:02,420
Then, the throne of Israel is yours.
163
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,270
Now, where do we find this
young woman you lust after?
164
00:09:07,270 --> 00:09:11,088
- (laughs) You wait 'til you see her.
165
00:09:11,088 --> 00:09:13,030
(both laughing)
166
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:14,506
- Make way!
167
00:09:14,506 --> 00:09:16,040
Make way!
168
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:21,040
Come on, come on!
(horses clomping)
169
00:09:21,575 --> 00:09:24,575
(chickens clucking)
170
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,210
I'm Joab, general in charge
of the armed forces of Israel.
171
00:09:32,210 --> 00:09:33,610
You're commanded to present yourself
172
00:09:33,610 --> 00:09:35,983
and your daughter at
the court of King David.
173
00:09:37,362 --> 00:09:41,029
(dramatic orchestral music)
174
00:10:02,510 --> 00:10:03,343
- Arise.
175
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,953
You are in no danger.
176
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:14,820
I am Bathsheba, wife of King
David, mother of Solomon.
177
00:10:14,820 --> 00:10:17,103
He tells me your daughter heals wounds.
178
00:10:19,170 --> 00:10:20,210
Is that true?
179
00:10:20,210 --> 00:10:23,130
- It is quite true, my queen.
180
00:10:23,130 --> 00:10:25,010
- I'm not a queen.
181
00:10:25,010 --> 00:10:28,233
He flatters me because he thinks
it will be to his benefit.
182
00:10:31,830 --> 00:10:32,803
Come here, child.
183
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:36,853
You're beautiful.
184
00:10:37,790 --> 00:10:39,563
So you're skilled in herbs?
185
00:10:40,580 --> 00:10:43,090
- I have some knowledge, Majesty.
186
00:10:43,090 --> 00:10:44,380
- It is our wish that your daughter
187
00:10:44,380 --> 00:10:46,783
remains here to nurse the king.
188
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,660
General Joab, I'm
thankful for your interest
189
00:10:53,660 --> 00:10:55,893
in bringing this girl here.
190
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,103
You may go now.
191
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:01,993
- As you wish.
192
00:11:05,210 --> 00:11:06,193
- You may all go.
193
00:11:14,229 --> 00:11:16,483
Azarel, come here.
194
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,010
What I am about to tell
you is vital information,
195
00:11:23,010 --> 00:11:25,433
worth much to the king's enemies.
196
00:11:26,530 --> 00:11:27,603
You love the king?
197
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:31,433
- Israel exists only
because of King David,
198
00:11:32,290 --> 00:11:34,100
for God loves him.
199
00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:36,860
- The king's life is drawing to its close.
200
00:11:36,860 --> 00:11:40,240
Israel is divided, and only King David
201
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,813
can bring us all together.
202
00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:47,490
That's why I want your
daughter to use all her power
203
00:11:47,490 --> 00:11:50,010
to bring back the health of King David.
204
00:11:50,010 --> 00:11:52,730
And I promise that when she will leave,
205
00:11:52,730 --> 00:11:55,483
she will take with her
a dowry fit for a queen,
206
00:11:56,390 --> 00:11:59,023
and she will be as pure as she is today.
207
00:12:01,546 --> 00:12:03,370
- It shall be as you wish.
208
00:12:03,370 --> 00:12:04,780
- Good.
209
00:12:04,780 --> 00:12:07,833
So, my dear, we'll prepare
you to meet the king.
210
00:12:08,756 --> 00:12:12,650
(dramatic orchestral music)
211
00:12:12,650 --> 00:12:16,173
- [Joab] He will not
survive, and when he dies,
212
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:19,170
who are they going to put on the throne?
213
00:12:19,170 --> 00:12:20,984
- Solomon.
- Solomon!
214
00:12:20,984 --> 00:12:22,900
And you know as well as I do, our kingdom
215
00:12:22,900 --> 00:12:24,960
will be lost with him on the throne.
216
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,290
- [Abiathar] You know that's
treason you're talking.
217
00:12:26,290 --> 00:12:27,348
- [Joab] Treason?
218
00:12:27,348 --> 00:12:28,850
(choir singing in foreign language)
219
00:12:28,850 --> 00:12:31,220
It's our duty to consider the succession.
220
00:12:31,220 --> 00:12:34,000
- But it is the king's will
that Solomon succeed him.
221
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,431
- But is it God's will, Abiathar?
222
00:12:36,431 --> 00:12:39,937
- Joab, God's will and King David's will
223
00:12:39,937 --> 00:12:41,860
are one and the same.
224
00:12:41,860 --> 00:12:43,460
- Is it God's will that
His kingdom be governed
225
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:46,883
by a weak man, without ambition
for himself or his people?
226
00:12:53,573 --> 00:12:56,040
Of course, as priests, I look to you
227
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,650
for guidance in these matters.
228
00:12:57,650 --> 00:12:58,763
- And the army?
229
00:12:59,770 --> 00:13:01,793
- [Joab] Well, naturally,
they'll follow your lead.
230
00:13:02,870 --> 00:13:05,990
- And yours, General Joab.
231
00:13:05,990 --> 00:13:10,363
- Adonijah should, must be our new king.
232
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,310
But he cannot, will not, unless you,
233
00:13:14,310 --> 00:13:16,607
his newly-elected high priest, anoint him.
234
00:13:17,820 --> 00:13:19,180
- High Priest?
235
00:13:19,180 --> 00:13:22,730
- Of course, let me explain.
236
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:28,520
It is essential that Adonijah
be crowned before David dies.
237
00:13:42,786 --> 00:13:44,619
- [Bathsheba] Abishag.
238
00:13:46,997 --> 00:13:48,513
- Well, come closer, come closer.
239
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,470
There's no need to fear me.
240
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,762
Oh, she makes me wish I were young again,
241
00:13:55,762 --> 00:13:58,429
but then, my dearest, so do you.
242
00:14:02,970 --> 00:14:04,553
Do you sing, child?
243
00:14:05,427 --> 00:14:07,043
- A little, my Lord King.
244
00:14:08,350 --> 00:14:09,643
- Play for your king.
245
00:14:17,975 --> 00:14:21,142
(peaceful harp music)
246
00:14:35,380 --> 00:14:36,364
(metal clanking)
(Joab barking)
247
00:14:36,364 --> 00:14:39,114
(horse clomping)
248
00:14:44,030 --> 00:14:45,250
- All is prepared for tomorrow
249
00:14:45,250 --> 00:14:47,160
at the Stone Zoheleth near Enrogel.
250
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,780
I'll send a company there with food
251
00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:50,610
and wine enough to feast a thousand.
252
00:14:50,610 --> 00:14:51,818
- And the priests?
253
00:14:51,818 --> 00:14:54,943
- (laughs) Abiathar is
riding there even now.
254
00:14:59,230 --> 00:15:01,150
- It has come to pass.
255
00:15:01,150 --> 00:15:02,550
- [Joab] In the morning, I'll spread
256
00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:04,260
the word through the marketplace.
257
00:15:04,260 --> 00:15:08,081
This time tomorrow, Adonijah,
you will be King of Israel.
258
00:15:08,081 --> 00:15:10,982
- Close, close up!
(people shouting)
259
00:15:10,982 --> 00:15:12,315
Close, close up!
260
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,113
- Hey, what's going on?
261
00:15:14,113 --> 00:15:15,120
- Haven't you heard?
262
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,580
They are anointing the new
king at the Stone Zoheleth.
263
00:15:17,580 --> 00:15:19,016
Food and drink for everyone!
264
00:15:19,016 --> 00:15:19,849
(people cheer)
265
00:15:19,849 --> 00:15:21,842
- New king?
- Adonijah.
266
00:15:21,842 --> 00:15:23,150
- Adonijah?
- Adonijah!
267
00:15:23,150 --> 00:15:25,780
- But Solomon.
- Adonijah, I said!
268
00:15:25,780 --> 00:15:26,630
Long live the king!
269
00:15:26,630 --> 00:15:28,361
Don't you agree?
270
00:15:28,361 --> 00:15:29,397
- Long live the king.
271
00:15:29,397 --> 00:15:32,430
(board thuds)
- Close up, close, close!
272
00:15:32,430 --> 00:15:33,822
Close up!
273
00:15:33,822 --> 00:15:35,611
- Long live the king.
274
00:15:35,611 --> 00:15:37,410
- Close!
(dramatic orchestral music)
275
00:15:37,410 --> 00:15:39,700
Close it, close up!
276
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:41,617
Close, close up, close!
277
00:15:55,353 --> 00:15:58,353
(people chattering)
278
00:16:13,423 --> 00:16:16,256
(people laughing)
279
00:16:37,606 --> 00:16:40,356
(horse clomping)
280
00:16:50,924 --> 00:16:51,757
- What do you have to report?
281
00:16:51,757 --> 00:16:53,320
- You will be shocked to learn,
282
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,191
at the Stone Zoheleth, this very moment,
283
00:16:55,191 --> 00:16:57,711
Adonijah is being anointed king.
284
00:16:57,711 --> 00:16:59,570
Abiathar and Joab anoint him.
285
00:16:59,570 --> 00:17:01,693
- Thank you, God bless you.
- God go with you.
286
00:17:02,965 --> 00:17:05,548
(David groans)
287
00:17:08,510 --> 00:17:10,147
- May the King live forever.
288
00:17:10,147 --> 00:17:12,047
- Oh, oh!
289
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,123
So formal, my love.
290
00:17:16,810 --> 00:17:18,210
Why?
291
00:17:18,210 --> 00:17:19,297
What is it now?
292
00:17:21,420 --> 00:17:24,020
- It was always your promise to me
293
00:17:24,020 --> 00:17:27,080
that Solomon would be king in your place?
294
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,433
- Yes, I made that vow.
295
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:33,330
- Well, today, your son Adonijah
296
00:17:33,330 --> 00:17:36,003
is to be anointed to be King of Israel.
297
00:17:36,980 --> 00:17:37,813
- What?
298
00:17:38,890 --> 00:17:39,853
By whose authority?
299
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:43,880
- With the support of the army
and much of the priesthood.
300
00:17:45,339 --> 00:17:46,960
- Joab?
301
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,341
- Even so.
302
00:17:48,341 --> 00:17:51,469
(David sighs)
303
00:17:51,469 --> 00:17:55,070
- Joab, Joab has been loyal for 30 years.
304
00:17:55,070 --> 00:17:57,180
- He betrays you at this moment.
305
00:17:57,180 --> 00:17:59,681
- (chuckles) Nathan, come closer.
306
00:17:59,681 --> 00:18:03,330
(pants) Is this all true?
307
00:18:03,330 --> 00:18:04,500
- It is, my lord.
308
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:05,540
He is to make sacrifices
309
00:18:05,540 --> 00:18:07,880
and Abiathar will pour the holy oil.
310
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,290
They are traveling to the altar
311
00:18:09,290 --> 00:18:10,620
of Stone Zoheleth at this moment.
312
00:18:10,620 --> 00:18:12,250
- The eyes of Israel are on you
313
00:18:12,250 --> 00:18:15,210
to tell them who shall be their king.
314
00:18:15,210 --> 00:18:16,483
- I am their king.
315
00:18:19,047 --> 00:18:23,170
And as I swore to you by
the Lord, the God of Israel,
316
00:18:23,170 --> 00:18:26,200
that your son Solomon
shall succeed me as king,
317
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,373
so shall I swear today. (pants)
318
00:18:33,081 --> 00:18:35,530
Zadok, does he remain loyal?
319
00:18:35,530 --> 00:18:37,207
- He does, and many other priests.
320
00:18:37,207 --> 00:18:38,730
- And the palace guard.
321
00:18:38,730 --> 00:18:39,563
- Good.
322
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:47,620
Nathan, take Zadok and
the other loyal priests
323
00:18:47,710 --> 00:18:49,460
and the palace guard.
324
00:18:49,460 --> 00:18:53,200
Have Solomon ride on a
donkey from my stables,
325
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,997
not a horse, on my donkey,
bring him down to Gihon.
326
00:18:56,997 --> 00:19:01,997
And there, let Zadok anoint
him king over all Israel.
327
00:19:02,634 --> 00:19:03,967
This is my will.
328
00:19:06,967 --> 00:19:08,274
(dramatic orchestral music)
329
00:19:08,274 --> 00:19:10,941
(David panting)
330
00:19:16,198 --> 00:19:17,031
- My king.
331
00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:34,682
(dramatic choral symphony music)
332
00:20:09,663 --> 00:20:12,413
(donkey braying)
333
00:21:07,792 --> 00:21:10,792
(people chattering)
334
00:21:20,930 --> 00:21:23,710
- You are a witness to history, my wife.
335
00:21:23,710 --> 00:21:26,270
Today, God decides who
is to lead His people.
336
00:21:26,270 --> 00:21:29,550
Two men now claiming the
throne, but I, for one,
337
00:21:29,550 --> 00:21:32,082
will follow the choice of King David.
338
00:21:32,082 --> 00:21:34,832
(horse whinnies)
339
00:21:36,237 --> 00:21:37,236
(people cheering)
340
00:21:37,236 --> 00:21:40,903
(majestic orchestral music)
341
00:21:56,758 --> 00:21:59,675
(trumpets blaring)
342
00:22:02,670 --> 00:22:06,860
- Let the High Prince Adonijah
approach to be anointed king.
343
00:22:06,860 --> 00:22:09,017
- [Man] Solomon is being crowned king!
344
00:22:09,871 --> 00:22:14,477
- Wait, stop him!
(people shouting)
345
00:22:14,477 --> 00:22:16,353
- [Man] Stop him!
346
00:22:16,353 --> 00:22:18,370
- What is the meaning of this?
347
00:22:18,370 --> 00:22:19,343
- Hear me, wait!
348
00:22:21,670 --> 00:22:23,510
- Bring him forward!
349
00:22:23,510 --> 00:22:25,660
- They are going to anoint Solomon king!
350
00:22:25,660 --> 00:22:26,830
- You lie!
351
00:22:26,830 --> 00:22:28,280
It's not true!
352
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,330
I am anointed by God.
(people cheering)
353
00:22:30,330 --> 00:22:31,795
- Listen, it's true!
354
00:22:31,795 --> 00:22:33,971
You can see the procession
from that ridge.
355
00:22:33,971 --> 00:22:35,700
(people muttering)
356
00:22:35,700 --> 00:22:37,610
Solomon is being anointed king
357
00:22:37,610 --> 00:22:39,863
by a decree from King David himself.
358
00:22:40,820 --> 00:22:41,970
I'll show you.
359
00:22:41,970 --> 00:22:43,230
- Stop!
- Come on!
360
00:22:43,230 --> 00:22:46,560
- Wait, stop!
361
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,290
I am your king!
362
00:22:48,290 --> 00:22:50,578
I command you to stop!
363
00:22:50,578 --> 00:22:53,161
(horn blaring)
364
00:22:57,979 --> 00:23:00,149
- Look!
365
00:23:00,149 --> 00:23:02,387
I told you!
366
00:23:02,387 --> 00:23:04,445
- That is the palace guard.
367
00:23:04,445 --> 00:23:07,980
- And Zadok.
- And Nathan the prophet.
368
00:23:07,980 --> 00:23:10,620
- They would act only on
the word of King David.
369
00:23:10,620 --> 00:23:11,813
- We've been lied to.
370
00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:14,543
- This is no king.
371
00:23:15,710 --> 00:23:18,480
- Treason, that's what it is.
372
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,128
I want no part of it.
373
00:23:20,128 --> 00:23:25,128
(horn blaring)
(people shouting)
374
00:23:32,223 --> 00:23:34,842
- Stop!
(dramatic orchestral music)
375
00:23:34,842 --> 00:23:36,257
Wait!
376
00:23:36,257 --> 00:23:40,910
I am your king, appointed by God!
377
00:23:40,910 --> 00:23:42,900
I command you to stop!
378
00:23:44,706 --> 00:23:48,220
Joab, stop them!
379
00:23:48,220 --> 00:23:49,053
- How?
380
00:23:50,390 --> 00:23:51,223
- Use your army!
381
00:23:52,103 --> 00:23:53,186
- To do what?
382
00:23:54,260 --> 00:23:57,077
The people fear God more
than they do the army.
383
00:23:57,077 --> 00:23:57,910
- Joab!
384
00:23:59,210 --> 00:24:00,363
- We lost!
385
00:24:02,290 --> 00:24:03,433
We moved too soon.
386
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,840
Bathsheba beat us.
387
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,370
- Too soon?
388
00:24:08,370 --> 00:24:09,810
Lost?
389
00:24:09,810 --> 00:24:11,063
You've killed us!
390
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,273
- Probably.
391
00:24:14,730 --> 00:24:16,920
I think that's not the
only sacrificial blood
392
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,270
that will be shed this day.
393
00:24:24,210 --> 00:24:25,617
What's this?
394
00:24:25,617 --> 00:24:27,730
- I will not leave this place.
395
00:24:27,730 --> 00:24:31,133
Go and tell Solomon I
will not leave this place
396
00:24:31,133 --> 00:24:33,530
'til he swears he will not kill me.
397
00:24:33,530 --> 00:24:35,510
- Adonijah, come down!
398
00:24:35,510 --> 00:24:36,493
- Do as I say!
399
00:24:42,110 --> 00:24:45,533
- As you wish, Your Majesty.
400
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,253
- You have proven your courage once again,
401
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,193
by delivering yourself to this court.
402
00:25:05,660 --> 00:25:07,110
- As always, I serve my king.
403
00:25:07,950 --> 00:25:09,467
- Not always, Joab.
404
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,020
You killed Absalom, my son.
405
00:25:13,020 --> 00:25:14,430
- [Joab] Because he rose
against you, my lord.
406
00:25:14,430 --> 00:25:17,440
- I commanded he be dealt with
gently, you struck him down!
407
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:18,817
- In a victory for your armies, my lord!
408
00:25:18,817 --> 00:25:20,639
- Now you have risen against me.
409
00:25:20,639 --> 00:25:22,981
- No, my lord, never!
410
00:25:22,981 --> 00:25:24,563
Against these, yes!
411
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,500
But not against my king.
412
00:25:30,151 --> 00:25:35,123
- Then bow to your king.
413
00:25:35,123 --> 00:25:36,762
King Solomon!
414
00:25:36,762 --> 00:25:39,679
(people muttering)
415
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:49,810
- As long as you live, Father,
416
00:25:49,810 --> 00:25:53,293
there is only one king
in this land. (smooches)
417
00:26:03,170 --> 00:26:07,073
- The penalty for your actions is death.
418
00:26:10,350 --> 00:26:12,703
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
419
00:26:14,650 --> 00:26:16,273
My judgment is this,
420
00:26:17,450 --> 00:26:21,380
while I live, you live.
421
00:26:21,380 --> 00:26:26,120
When I'm dead, your life is
in the hands of your new king.
422
00:26:27,330 --> 00:26:29,660
You're dismissed from your command.
423
00:26:29,660 --> 00:26:31,223
You're banished from Jerusalem.
424
00:26:35,590 --> 00:26:36,640
- Thank you, my lord.
425
00:26:37,683 --> 00:26:40,673
As always, your judgment
is full of compassion.
426
00:26:50,966 --> 00:26:52,633
- And now, Adonijah.
427
00:26:55,030 --> 00:26:55,863
What of him?
428
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:58,993
Hmm?
429
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,280
- It is as you wish, Father.
430
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,310
- He's also my son, Solomon.
431
00:27:04,310 --> 00:27:06,663
I cannot be impartial in my judgment.
432
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:09,773
It was you he sought to harm.
433
00:27:11,660 --> 00:27:12,987
You must judge him.
434
00:27:14,151 --> 00:27:17,818
(dramatic orchestral music)
435
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,093
- He is guilty of treason.
436
00:27:36,970 --> 00:27:38,020
The penalty is death.
437
00:27:48,585 --> 00:27:53,585
(metal clanking)
(horses clomping)
438
00:28:04,202 --> 00:28:06,090
- I meant you no harm!
439
00:28:06,090 --> 00:28:09,158
I swear it, I swear it!
440
00:28:09,158 --> 00:28:11,908
(horse whinnies)
441
00:28:12,922 --> 00:28:14,657
I beg of you, spare me my life,
442
00:28:14,657 --> 00:28:16,503
for the love you once bore me!
443
00:28:17,857 --> 00:28:19,274
Solomon, Solomon!
444
00:28:32,186 --> 00:28:35,019
- Our father showed mercy to Joab.
445
00:28:36,090 --> 00:28:37,440
I shall do no less for you.
446
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,940
If you prove a loyal and worthy man,
447
00:28:39,940 --> 00:28:42,290
not one of your hairs
shall fall to the ground.
448
00:28:43,510 --> 00:28:48,510
But if treachery is found
in you, you shall die.
449
00:29:02,140 --> 00:29:06,313
- My brothers and my people, hear me.
450
00:29:07,260 --> 00:29:11,310
I had planned to build a house of rest
451
00:29:11,310 --> 00:29:13,903
for the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord.
452
00:29:15,050 --> 00:29:20,050
But God said to me, you shall
not build a house for My name,
453
00:29:20,140 --> 00:29:23,313
for you are a warrior,
you have shed blood.
454
00:29:24,250 --> 00:29:26,663
It is your son, Solomon,
455
00:29:27,780 --> 00:29:30,893
who shall build My house and My courts.
456
00:29:32,730 --> 00:29:37,730
Solomon, my son, know
the God of your father
457
00:29:38,130 --> 00:29:42,313
and serve him well, with a
single mind and willing heart.
458
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:48,240
For the Lord has chosen you to
build a house as a sanctuary.
459
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,159
Be strong and obey.
460
00:29:53,159 --> 00:29:54,296
Er.
461
00:29:54,296 --> 00:29:59,296
(people chattering)
(dramatic orchestral music)
462
00:30:08,690 --> 00:30:12,453
These are the plans for the vestibules,
463
00:30:13,330 --> 00:30:17,300
treasuries, upper rooms and inner chambers
464
00:30:17,300 --> 00:30:22,043
and all that God wishes for
His house, as given to me.
465
00:30:26,970 --> 00:30:31,590
My son is young and inexperienced.
466
00:30:31,590 --> 00:30:35,980
His task is great, as this shall not be
467
00:30:35,980 --> 00:30:38,053
a temple for mortals but for the Lord.
468
00:30:39,670 --> 00:30:42,410
But I have provided as far as I was able.
469
00:30:42,410 --> 00:30:45,409
Uh, bring in.
470
00:30:45,409 --> 00:30:48,409
(people chattering)
471
00:31:06,810 --> 00:31:11,810
Of my God, I give to my God,
and I ask you to do the same.
472
00:31:13,227 --> 00:31:15,273
For this shall be the House of the Lord.
473
00:31:16,750 --> 00:31:18,627
Bless the Lord, our God.
474
00:31:18,627 --> 00:31:21,294
- [All] Bless the Lord, our God.
475
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,033
- Solomon, Solomon, remember, Solomon.
476
00:31:30,033 --> 00:31:31,653
A king must be strong.
477
00:31:33,050 --> 00:31:36,560
If someone bars your way,
he threatens not just you
478
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,947
but the good of the kingdom as a whole.
479
00:31:38,947 --> 00:31:41,880
You must cut him down, like wheat.
480
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,323
Can you do that, hmm?
481
00:31:44,832 --> 00:31:46,183
- I can, Father.
482
00:31:46,183 --> 00:31:49,330
- I should never have
granted the life of Joab.
483
00:31:50,430 --> 00:31:53,480
He served me well, but
he has served you badly.
484
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,787
When I'm dead, kill him,
just kill him, kill him.
485
00:31:57,670 --> 00:32:00,677
If he plots with Adonijah,
kill them both, kill them.
486
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,963
You must now be king, Solomon.
487
00:32:08,287 --> 00:32:09,120
King!
488
00:32:18,803 --> 00:32:22,886
(majestic choral symphony music)
489
00:32:39,283 --> 00:32:40,884
King Solomon!
490
00:32:40,884 --> 00:32:42,604
- King Solomon!
491
00:32:42,604 --> 00:32:46,687
- [All] King Solomon, King
Solomon, King Solomon!
492
00:32:47,555 --> 00:32:50,972
King Solomon, King Solomon, King Solomon!
493
00:32:52,690 --> 00:32:56,107
King Solomon, King Solomon, King Solomon!
494
00:32:57,925 --> 00:33:01,342
King Solomon, King Solomon, King Solomon!
495
00:33:02,742 --> 00:33:05,492
(tools clanking)
496
00:33:06,894 --> 00:33:07,811
- Abiathar!
497
00:33:09,831 --> 00:33:10,993
- Joab!
498
00:33:10,993 --> 00:33:13,462
- So this is what you
do in exile? (laughs)
499
00:33:13,462 --> 00:33:16,425
- (laughs) Yes, I've become a farmer.
500
00:33:16,425 --> 00:33:17,850
(Joab laughs)
501
00:33:17,850 --> 00:33:20,666
Long live our glorious king!
502
00:33:20,666 --> 00:33:22,382
- May he reign for at least another day!
503
00:33:22,382 --> 00:33:24,580
(both laughing)
504
00:33:24,580 --> 00:33:25,413
- Come!
505
00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:28,070
Let me offer you some wine.
506
00:33:28,070 --> 00:33:28,903
- Good.
507
00:33:32,450 --> 00:33:34,523
There's talk of Solomon building a temple.
508
00:33:35,614 --> 00:33:37,820
- [Abiathar] I've heard so.
509
00:33:37,820 --> 00:33:40,370
I should preside as High
Priest when it's finished.
510
00:33:41,330 --> 00:33:42,440
- [Joab] You may yet.
511
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,273
- How?
512
00:33:43,273 --> 00:33:46,323
Solomon put that ancient
fossil Zadok in my place.
513
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,270
- Well, we simply struck too soon.
514
00:33:50,270 --> 00:33:53,253
I should have known,
while David's still alive.
515
00:33:54,580 --> 00:33:57,763
But our time will come
at the moment he dies.
516
00:34:01,220 --> 00:34:04,760
Solomon, a king. (chuckles)
517
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,800
If I had been in his place,
we'd both be dead men.
518
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,973
- And who will you put in Solomon's place?
519
00:34:11,795 --> 00:34:13,961
- Adonijah, of course.
520
00:34:13,961 --> 00:34:14,878
- Adonijah?
521
00:34:16,570 --> 00:34:19,070
I thought you despised his
cowardice at the altar.
522
00:34:20,230 --> 00:34:23,120
- Even cowards can be
useful at the right moment.
523
00:34:24,030 --> 00:34:26,943
(dramatic orchestral music)
(David chuckling)
524
00:34:26,943 --> 00:34:29,490
- Did you tell yourself a joke?
525
00:34:29,490 --> 00:34:33,320
- For some reason, a song
keeps coming into my head.
526
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:34,630
- A song?
527
00:34:34,630 --> 00:34:38,260
- Yes, you remember I once
wrote a song to the Lord
528
00:34:38,260 --> 00:34:40,720
on the day we were delivered from Saul?
529
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:42,530
- Of course, everyone knows it.
530
00:34:42,530 --> 00:34:47,100
- Ah, for the waves of
death encompassed me,
531
00:34:47,100 --> 00:34:49,610
the torrents of perdition assailed me,
532
00:34:49,610 --> 00:34:52,530
the cords of Sheol entangled me,
533
00:34:52,530 --> 00:34:57,220
the snares of death
confronted me. (chuckles)
534
00:34:57,220 --> 00:34:58,053
- So?
535
00:34:58,053 --> 00:35:01,543
- We were so dramatic,
torrents, snares, waves.
536
00:35:03,180 --> 00:35:06,247
Death is not like that at all.
537
00:35:07,090 --> 00:35:09,550
- Talk of death to your other wives.
538
00:35:09,550 --> 00:35:14,550
I'm only interested in your
beauty and your wealth.
539
00:35:14,617 --> 00:35:17,367
(both chuckling)
540
00:35:18,270 --> 00:35:22,863
- Bathsheba, do you know what
I fear from death most of all?
541
00:35:25,404 --> 00:35:26,237
- What?
542
00:35:28,044 --> 00:35:33,044
- The absence of you.
543
00:35:59,287 --> 00:36:00,820
(horn blaring)
544
00:36:00,820 --> 00:36:04,320
(somber orchestral music)
545
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,327
- You'll never have her now.
546
00:36:30,327 --> 00:36:31,160
- Joab.
547
00:36:32,140 --> 00:36:33,950
- She has status now.
548
00:36:33,950 --> 00:36:37,650
She's no longer the daughter
of a simple salt-fish dealer.
549
00:36:37,650 --> 00:36:39,530
She was the favorite of our greatest king.
550
00:36:39,530 --> 00:36:41,210
- I know this, I know this.
551
00:36:41,210 --> 00:36:43,757
- When she's passed along
to Solomon, he'll have her.
552
00:36:43,757 --> 00:36:46,385
- Give me peace, Joab!
553
00:36:46,385 --> 00:36:48,604
(women ululating)
554
00:36:48,604 --> 00:36:52,271
(dramatic orchestral music)
555
00:37:00,687 --> 00:37:03,437
(fire crackling)
556
00:37:21,092 --> 00:37:23,509
(harp thuds)
557
00:37:32,451 --> 00:37:34,868
(wood thuds)
558
00:37:52,336 --> 00:37:55,003
(boulder thuds)
559
00:37:56,550 --> 00:37:58,693
- Thank you for granting me this audience.
560
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:01,883
- Do you come in peace?
561
00:38:03,050 --> 00:38:04,253
- In peace.
562
00:38:06,290 --> 00:38:08,400
May I speak openly with you?
563
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:09,403
- Go on.
564
00:38:10,710 --> 00:38:15,360
- You know, you know the kingdom was mine,
565
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,803
and all of Israel expected me to reign.
566
00:38:22,930 --> 00:38:27,920
But things change, and the
kingdom has fallen to my brother.
567
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,443
- For it was his, from the Lord.
568
00:38:35,110 --> 00:38:38,163
- So now, I have one
request to make of you.
569
00:38:39,530 --> 00:38:41,063
Please do not refuse me.
570
00:38:42,430 --> 00:38:43,263
- Go on.
571
00:38:44,730 --> 00:38:49,030
- Please ask Solomon, King Solomon,
572
00:38:49,030 --> 00:38:54,030
for he will not refuse you,
to give me Abishag as my wife.
573
00:38:56,930 --> 00:38:59,847
(Bathsheba scoffs)
574
00:39:00,968 --> 00:39:01,853
- Men.
575
00:39:04,692 --> 00:39:07,923
(chuckles) This is all you want?
576
00:39:12,110 --> 00:39:15,303
Very well, I will speak to the king.
577
00:39:18,852 --> 00:39:22,519
(dramatic orchestral music)
578
00:39:38,767 --> 00:39:42,267
- God of my father and my father's father,
579
00:39:43,620 --> 00:39:45,970
give me strength and courage that I may be
580
00:39:45,970 --> 00:39:48,590
worthy of this honorable duty,
581
00:39:48,590 --> 00:39:52,420
and serve you well, for I am weak
582
00:39:58,609 --> 00:39:59,609
and fearful.
583
00:40:39,190 --> 00:40:40,140
Forgive me, Father.
584
00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:43,153
I do not deserve your throne,
585
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,027
but now I must be king, as you commanded.
586
00:41:00,530 --> 00:41:02,880
- May the King live forever.
587
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,193
- Oh, Mother!
588
00:41:07,660 --> 00:41:08,493
Please take...
589
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:11,640
Bring a chair for my mother!
590
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:20,580
- The ruler of Israel
bows to no one, Solomon.
591
00:41:20,580 --> 00:41:21,800
- Yes, I can see that.
592
00:41:26,570 --> 00:41:28,270
Come, Mother, don't be humble.
593
00:41:28,270 --> 00:41:29,966
Take your rightful place.
594
00:41:29,966 --> 00:41:33,633
(dramatic orchestral music)
595
00:41:46,770 --> 00:41:49,400
- I have a request to make.
596
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,903
Do not refuse me.
597
00:41:52,340 --> 00:41:53,500
- Make your request, my mother,
598
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:56,510
for you know that I will not refuse you.
599
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:05,123
- Give Abishag to your
brother as his wife.
600
00:42:08,710 --> 00:42:12,060
- And why do you ask this for Adonijah?
601
00:42:13,090 --> 00:42:17,240
- Because he came, as a request.
602
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:20,103
I tell you so you may know his mind.
603
00:42:21,690 --> 00:42:23,683
- His mind is to have the throne.
604
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:28,673
- Good, my son.
605
00:42:29,650 --> 00:42:31,113
- And so he begins again.
606
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,150
First, he asks for this maiden,
607
00:42:35,380 --> 00:42:37,890
then next he will ask for the kingdom,
608
00:42:37,890 --> 00:42:40,320
for he knows that any show
of weakness on my part
609
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,759
will be a demonstration of his power.
610
00:42:42,759 --> 00:42:43,667
- Joab is near to that.
611
00:42:43,667 --> 00:42:47,140
- Now, therefore, as the Lord
lives, who has established me
612
00:42:47,140 --> 00:42:50,243
and placed me on this
throne of my Father, David.
613
00:42:55,070 --> 00:42:55,903
Today,
614
00:42:57,303 --> 00:42:58,653
Adonijah and Joab must die.
615
00:43:01,285 --> 00:43:03,624
(dramatic orchestral music)
616
00:43:03,624 --> 00:43:06,124
(dog barking)
617
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,211
- [Man] Traitor!
618
00:43:11,211 --> 00:43:13,242
- [Man] Get him!
619
00:43:13,242 --> 00:43:14,075
(rock thuds)
- Yeah!
620
00:43:14,075 --> 00:43:16,946
(Adonijah whimpers)
621
00:43:16,946 --> 00:43:18,487
(rocks thudding)
622
00:43:18,487 --> 00:43:21,700
(sword squelches)
(Adonijah yelps)
623
00:43:21,700 --> 00:43:23,283
- I was to be king.
624
00:43:24,973 --> 00:43:26,883
- But you die as a traitor.
625
00:43:27,866 --> 00:43:30,631
(sword clangs)
(Adonijah groans)
626
00:43:30,631 --> 00:43:33,496
(body thuds)
627
00:43:33,496 --> 00:43:37,163
(dramatic orchestral music)
628
00:43:38,218 --> 00:43:40,968
(donkey braying)
629
00:44:09,177 --> 00:44:11,560
- I ordered you to kill him!
630
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,930
- But my Lord King, he
has taken sanctuary!
631
00:44:13,930 --> 00:44:15,230
Even now, he's in the Holy Tabernacle,
632
00:44:15,230 --> 00:44:16,333
clinging to the altar!
633
00:44:22,460 --> 00:44:25,103
- I don't care where he is.
634
00:44:26,540 --> 00:44:29,123
Strike him down!
635
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:40,193
- Joab?
636
00:44:41,510 --> 00:44:42,933
It's by command of the king.
637
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:45,573
You are to die.
638
00:44:49,630 --> 00:44:52,280
The king commands you come out, Joab.
639
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:53,113
- No.
640
00:44:54,890 --> 00:44:56,270
I'll die here.
641
00:44:56,270 --> 00:44:58,180
- I beg you, don't make me kill you there.
642
00:44:58,180 --> 00:44:59,460
I would commit sacrilege.
643
00:44:59,460 --> 00:45:03,073
- Which you cannot, dare not, Benaiah.
644
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,063
I'm not ready to die.
645
00:45:09,487 --> 00:45:10,714
(sword clangs)
646
00:45:10,714 --> 00:45:12,480
(Benaiah roars)
647
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:13,899
(Joab gurgling)
648
00:45:13,899 --> 00:45:17,982
(dramatic choral symphony music)
649
00:45:41,091 --> 00:45:43,841
(metal clanking)
650
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,709
- Now will I prepare to build Your temple,
651
00:45:53,709 --> 00:45:56,120
Lord, here at the altar of Gibeon.
652
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,893
I'll make sacrifices,
cleanse my heart, and listen.
653
00:46:03,812 --> 00:46:08,812
(wind whistling)
(tree rustling)
654
00:46:45,985 --> 00:46:48,652
- [God] Solomon, enter, Solomon.
655
00:46:51,344 --> 00:46:54,094
(birds chirping)
656
00:47:06,582 --> 00:47:10,665
(peaceful choral symphony music)
657
00:47:42,958 --> 00:47:44,643
Ask what you will of Me, Solomon.
658
00:47:48,367 --> 00:47:50,373
- I am only as a child, my Lord.
659
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,733
I do not know how to go out or come in.
660
00:47:57,050 --> 00:47:59,320
Grant me the wisdom and knowledge
661
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,933
to righteously rule this
great people of yours.
662
00:48:03,670 --> 00:48:05,510
- [God] Because you have
not asked for riches
663
00:48:05,510 --> 00:48:08,100
or long life or the lives of your enemies,
664
00:48:08,100 --> 00:48:11,430
I give you the wisdom of a
clear and discerning mind.
665
00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:13,350
But you must walk in My ways,
666
00:48:13,350 --> 00:48:16,413
keeping My statutes and My commandments.
667
00:48:18,959 --> 00:48:22,268
(dramatic orchestral music)
668
00:48:22,268 --> 00:48:27,268
(soldiers shouting)
(swords clanging)
669
00:48:31,128 --> 00:48:32,802
(shield thuds)
(sword clangs)
670
00:48:32,802 --> 00:48:35,469
(men screaming)
671
00:48:37,830 --> 00:48:40,940
- This skirmish was simply a
patrol to test our strength.
672
00:48:40,940 --> 00:48:42,970
Our scouts confirm massed forces
673
00:48:42,970 --> 00:48:45,020
just inside the Egyptian border,
674
00:48:45,020 --> 00:48:47,050
which can mean only one thing.
675
00:48:47,050 --> 00:48:49,870
The new pharaoh, Shishak,
prepares to invade.
676
00:48:49,870 --> 00:48:52,773
- Well, if we do have a war on our hands.
677
00:48:54,310 --> 00:48:55,460
- [All] God be with us.
678
00:48:58,690 --> 00:49:02,843
- Jerusalem, the Egyptian border, Tyre.
679
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:05,580
General Benaiah, I want officers
680
00:49:05,580 --> 00:49:07,330
to ride to every city in Israel,
681
00:49:07,330 --> 00:49:09,830
measuring the distance in
the number of days it takes.
682
00:49:09,830 --> 00:49:11,990
And I want to know the strength
of our army in each city,
683
00:49:11,990 --> 00:49:14,840
foot soldiers, cavalry, charioteers.
684
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,103
If we must fight, I want to
know what chance we have.
685
00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:25,960
By royal decree, from
today, the Kingdom of Israel
686
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,560
and Judah will be divided
into 12 provinces.
687
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,610
I will appoint a governor over each
688
00:49:31,610 --> 00:49:35,260
who will be responsible directly to me,
689
00:49:35,260 --> 00:49:37,140
who will administer law and order,
690
00:49:37,140 --> 00:49:40,705
and who will oversee
the collection of taxes.
691
00:49:40,705 --> 00:49:43,270
(people muttering)
692
00:49:43,270 --> 00:49:48,270
Which from today will
be increased by 1/10.
693
00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:51,152
(people shouting)
694
00:49:53,938 --> 00:49:57,105
(rhythmic drum music)
695
00:50:01,700 --> 00:50:03,505
Very impressive, General Benaiah.
696
00:50:03,505 --> 00:50:06,360
- Yes, but they are few compared
to the legions of Egypt.
697
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,253
If they invade, there'll
be many widows in Israel.
698
00:50:10,140 --> 00:50:12,390
- When the Egyptians advance,
fall back before them.
699
00:50:12,390 --> 00:50:13,440
Don't fight.
700
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,830
Let thirst and the desert
do our fighting for us.
701
00:50:15,830 --> 00:50:17,070
- We can only fall back so far,
702
00:50:17,070 --> 00:50:18,360
my lord, before we must fight.
703
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,540
- Happily, we won't have to.
704
00:50:20,540 --> 00:50:24,400
Your king is to be married,
Benaiah, a wedding!
705
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,475
I'm arranging to marry the
daughter of the pharaoh!
706
00:50:26,475 --> 00:50:29,177
(laughs) Let's hope
she isn't ugly. (barks)
707
00:50:29,177 --> 00:50:31,714
(chariot rattling)
708
00:50:31,714 --> 00:50:36,714
(dramatic orchestral music)
(people cheering)
709
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,673
(water splashing)
710
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,650
Ah, Nathan.
711
00:51:13,650 --> 00:51:15,683
- [Nathan] So, how is married life?
712
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:21,450
- Very pleasant, very
pleasant, indeed. (laughs)
713
00:51:25,030 --> 00:51:27,380
- [Nathan] But I have a
matter of some concern.
714
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:29,490
- Speak.
715
00:51:29,490 --> 00:51:31,220
- It is rumored you're allowing
716
00:51:31,220 --> 00:51:34,060
your Egyptian wife to
build a temple to Amon-Ra.
717
00:51:34,060 --> 00:51:36,205
- I had to, of course.
718
00:51:36,205 --> 00:51:37,270
It's a political marriage.
719
00:51:37,270 --> 00:51:38,170
It's part of the treaty.
720
00:51:38,170 --> 00:51:40,700
I'm not going to war
over one woman's temple
721
00:51:40,700 --> 00:51:42,030
to a foreign god.
722
00:51:42,030 --> 00:51:43,680
- It's against God's law.
723
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,210
- Does God want war, Nathan?
724
00:51:46,210 --> 00:51:47,250
I think not.
725
00:51:47,250 --> 00:51:48,780
- What of the other wives?
726
00:51:48,780 --> 00:51:50,140
- I haven't got any other wives.
727
00:51:50,140 --> 00:51:51,393
- You may eventually have many wives.
728
00:51:51,393 --> 00:51:52,226
(Solomon scoffs)
729
00:51:52,226 --> 00:51:53,620
You grant the same to all of them?
730
00:51:53,620 --> 00:51:55,670
- Nathan, the thought of having many wives
731
00:51:55,670 --> 00:51:57,300
is too terrifying to contemplate.
732
00:51:57,300 --> 00:51:59,656
I can barely satisfy this one.
733
00:51:59,656 --> 00:52:02,489
(water splashing)
734
00:52:04,970 --> 00:52:08,053
Nathan, I worship the one true God.
735
00:52:10,690 --> 00:52:13,433
He will understand even if you will not.
736
00:52:15,670 --> 00:52:18,000
- The king must be aware that any child
737
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,080
from the daughter of the Pharaoh of Egypt
738
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,203
cannot inherit the thrones
of Israel and Judah.
739
00:52:23,203 --> 00:52:25,200
(people chattering)
740
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:28,457
- I am perfectly aware of that, Zadok.
741
00:52:29,564 --> 00:52:32,010
But the council must also
be aware that there are
742
00:52:32,010 --> 00:52:35,280
other reasons for marriage than
just the begetting of heirs.
743
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,340
I married the Pharaoh's daughter
to avert war and bloodshed.
744
00:52:38,340 --> 00:52:39,277
- But my lord--
745
00:52:39,277 --> 00:52:42,750
- Zadok, in future, be
advised that I will marry
746
00:52:42,750 --> 00:52:46,580
to consolidate my lands
and to promote trade.
747
00:52:46,580 --> 00:52:49,330
I will marry to ensure
peace with my allies,
748
00:52:49,330 --> 00:52:54,330
to discomfort my enemies
and to please myself.
749
00:52:54,410 --> 00:52:58,730
And I assure you that I
will marry to beget heirs
750
00:52:58,730 --> 00:53:03,200
to the throne, when I am ready. (laughs)
751
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,200
(people chattering)
752
00:53:11,308 --> 00:53:14,391
(lively percussion and flute music)
753
00:53:14,391 --> 00:53:17,308
(dancers clapping)
754
00:53:37,155 --> 00:53:40,720
(dramatic orchestral music)
755
00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:42,270
Is it always like this?
756
00:53:42,270 --> 00:53:45,521
- Oh, I find fathers
always survive the ordeal.
757
00:53:45,521 --> 00:53:48,188
(Solomon sighs)
758
00:53:50,021 --> 00:53:52,521
(baby crying)
759
00:54:01,510 --> 00:54:02,343
- A boy!
760
00:54:06,670 --> 00:54:10,820
- Oh, a fine Jewish boy.
761
00:54:10,820 --> 00:54:12,958
- I shall call him Rehoboam, as a sign
762
00:54:12,958 --> 00:54:14,860
that the people of Israel shall multiply.
763
00:54:14,860 --> 00:54:19,860
Mother, meet the heir to the
throne of David. (laughs)
764
00:54:19,971 --> 00:54:22,423
(Solomon claps)
- Shh.
765
00:54:22,423 --> 00:54:23,673
- A boy, a boy!
766
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:28,197
The King has a boy!
767
00:54:28,197 --> 00:54:31,842
(people chattering)
768
00:54:31,842 --> 00:54:34,820
(staff clacks)
769
00:54:34,820 --> 00:54:37,090
The purchaser of the horse
claims he was not told
770
00:54:37,090 --> 00:54:40,050
of the vicious nature of the beast.
771
00:54:40,050 --> 00:54:41,290
Yet in the terms of the contract,
772
00:54:41,290 --> 00:54:43,130
he was perfectly at
liberty to try the animal
773
00:54:43,130 --> 00:54:46,090
before offering payment
or accepting delivery.
774
00:54:46,090 --> 00:54:48,760
The seller has the right to remain silent
775
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,420
and let the buyer find any fault he can.
776
00:54:51,420 --> 00:54:54,143
It is the buyer's fault
if he does not do so.
777
00:54:56,192 --> 00:54:57,639
The buyer must pay full price.
778
00:54:57,639 --> 00:54:59,240
(people chattering)
779
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:01,687
- Thank you, my lord.
- Thank you, my king.
780
00:55:04,778 --> 00:55:06,840
- Zadok, why are there so
many people here today?
781
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,520
- There is great interest
in the next case, my lord.
782
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,690
The facts are simple but
the case, very complex.
783
00:55:13,690 --> 00:55:15,680
Your judgment is eagerly awaited.
784
00:55:20,998 --> 00:55:23,620
(staff clacks)
785
00:55:23,620 --> 00:55:27,640
My Lord King, the facts of this case
786
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,790
are well established
and are not in dispute.
787
00:55:30,790 --> 00:55:34,300
The two petitioners share
a house on the outskirts
788
00:55:34,300 --> 00:55:39,007
of Gilead, where they ply
their trade as prostitutes.
789
00:55:39,007 --> 00:55:42,223
Some six months ago, one gave birth,
790
00:55:43,110 --> 00:55:47,180
and shortly thereafter,
the second did likewise.
791
00:55:47,180 --> 00:55:49,633
Both had boy children.
792
00:55:50,900 --> 00:55:55,393
This dispute arose after
one of the babies died.
793
00:55:56,790 --> 00:55:58,960
You may each state your case.
794
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,243
- You go first, you lying
cow, then I'll tell the truth.
795
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,283
- Well, we each have our own room.
796
00:56:10,690 --> 00:56:12,490
- Are you a citizen of this country?
797
00:56:14,380 --> 00:56:17,737
Yet you show no respect to your king?
798
00:56:17,737 --> 00:56:20,720
(people chattering)
799
00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:25,373
Now, rise, state your name
and the facts as you see them.
800
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,090
- My name is Basemah.
801
00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:35,893
It was just us in the
house, us and our babies.
802
00:56:37,750 --> 00:56:39,960
I'd gone to bed with little Joachim.
803
00:56:41,580 --> 00:56:42,500
That's his name.
804
00:56:42,500 --> 00:56:44,720
- Michael, Michael is his name!
805
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:48,273
- Silence!
(people chattering)
806
00:56:50,110 --> 00:56:53,403
- Me and Joachim went to sleep.
807
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:59,004
And I'd given him a good meal,
808
00:56:59,004 --> 00:57:02,130
and he was a happy little baby.
809
00:57:02,130 --> 00:57:06,420
Well, that pig must have rolled
on her baby and killed him
810
00:57:07,270 --> 00:57:10,783
because when I woke up, there
was her baby beside me, dead.
811
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,012
And my Joachim was gone.
812
00:57:15,012 --> 00:57:16,503
- Liar!
- Silence!
813
00:57:16,503 --> 00:57:18,110
- A mother knows her own baby!
814
00:57:18,110 --> 00:57:19,607
- That is my baby!
815
00:57:19,607 --> 00:57:20,565
- Silence!
816
00:57:20,565 --> 00:57:21,648
(baby crying)
817
00:57:21,648 --> 00:57:23,530
- I'd pick him out from a thousand!
818
00:57:23,530 --> 00:57:26,530
(people chattering)
819
00:57:38,073 --> 00:57:40,656
(staff clacks)
820
00:57:50,580 --> 00:57:52,350
- What is your name?
821
00:57:52,350 --> 00:57:53,250
- Hannah, my lord.
822
00:57:55,590 --> 00:57:57,810
- Tell your story, Hannah.
823
00:57:57,810 --> 00:57:59,300
- It's a pack of lies!
824
00:57:59,300 --> 00:58:01,850
She's clumsy enough to
smother her own child
825
00:58:01,850 --> 00:58:04,400
and thinks she can get
away with claiming mine!
826
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,400
That's my Michael!
827
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:11,090
And no woman or man on earth is going
828
00:58:11,090 --> 00:58:14,813
to take him away from me, Your Majesty.
829
00:58:15,750 --> 00:58:18,523
- That is for the King to decide.
830
00:58:21,810 --> 00:58:23,210
Lay the child on that table.
831
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,053
My judgment is this.
832
00:58:30,750 --> 00:58:33,070
Since both women claim the living child
833
00:58:33,070 --> 00:58:36,380
and neither claim the dead
child, it is therefore fair
834
00:58:36,380 --> 00:58:38,573
that they should share the living child.
835
00:58:39,910 --> 00:58:41,997
So I will cut the child in half!
836
00:58:41,997 --> 00:58:43,017
(people screaming)
(people shouting)
837
00:58:43,017 --> 00:58:45,517
(baby crying)
838
00:58:50,316 --> 00:58:53,416
- Spare my baby! (cries)
839
00:58:53,416 --> 00:58:54,666
Don't kill him!
840
00:59:00,130 --> 00:59:01,485
She can have him.
841
00:59:01,485 --> 00:59:06,485
- (moans) Oh! (cries)
842
00:59:15,170 --> 00:59:16,850
- [Solomon] God bless this child.
843
00:59:16,850 --> 00:59:18,770
- [Crowd] God bless this child.
844
00:59:18,770 --> 00:59:20,077
- [Solomon] And his children's children.
845
00:59:20,077 --> 00:59:23,244
- [Crowd] And his children's children.
846
00:59:24,977 --> 00:59:26,113
- And most of all,
847
00:59:30,230 --> 00:59:31,459
his true mother.
848
00:59:31,459 --> 00:59:34,300
(baby cooing)
849
00:59:34,300 --> 00:59:39,300
(people chattering)
(Basemah crying)
850
00:59:49,804 --> 00:59:53,956
- [Crowd] Solomon,
Solomon, Solomon, Solomon!
851
00:59:53,956 --> 00:59:57,623
Solomon, Solomon,
Solomon, Solomon, Solomon!
852
00:59:59,531 --> 01:00:03,198
Solomon, Solomon,
Solomon, Solomon, Solomon!
853
01:00:05,252 --> 01:00:08,919
Solomon, Solomon,
Solomon, Solomon, Solomon!
854
01:00:10,756 --> 01:00:14,423
Solomon, Solomon,
Solomon, Solomon, Solomon!
855
01:00:15,714 --> 01:00:19,282
Solomon, Solomon, Solomon, Solomon!
856
01:00:19,282 --> 01:00:22,228
Solomon, Solomon, Solomon, Solomon!
857
01:00:22,228 --> 01:00:23,203
(Solomon laughs)
858
01:00:23,203 --> 01:00:25,908
(Solomon roars)
859
01:00:25,908 --> 01:00:28,647
- Back to work, back to work! (claps)
860
01:00:28,647 --> 01:00:31,033
Who is the idiot who is
stopping the men from working?
861
01:00:33,756 --> 01:00:36,220
- Rehoboam, my son, I want you to meet
862
01:00:36,220 --> 01:00:37,980
the man who is in charge
of all the building
863
01:00:37,980 --> 01:00:40,250
of this magnificent temple to God,
864
01:00:40,250 --> 01:00:45,090
the finest architect in the
world, Hiram of Naphtali.
865
01:00:45,090 --> 01:00:47,529
Say, rise, Hiram of Naphtali.
866
01:00:47,529 --> 01:00:48,397
- Rise, Hiram of Naphtali.
867
01:00:49,861 --> 01:00:52,443
- (laughs) And accept
the apology of the idiot
868
01:00:52,443 --> 01:00:54,700
who was stopping your men from working.
869
01:00:54,700 --> 01:00:57,447
- Back to work, back to
work, the idiot is leaving.
870
01:00:57,447 --> 01:00:59,260
(men laughing)
871
01:00:59,260 --> 01:01:02,010
(tools clanking)
872
01:01:05,690 --> 01:01:07,560
- I am very sorry, Your Majesty.
873
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,460
- It is I who should apologize.
874
01:01:09,460 --> 01:01:11,130
I was having too much fun.
875
01:01:11,130 --> 01:01:13,499
Kings are not supposed to have fun.
876
01:01:13,499 --> 01:01:15,430
(chuckles) All goes well?
877
01:01:15,430 --> 01:01:16,580
- Yes, Your Majesty.
878
01:01:16,580 --> 01:01:19,330
My men work hard and
your people learn fast.
879
01:01:19,330 --> 01:01:20,490
In a year or so, I shall be able
880
01:01:20,490 --> 01:01:21,860
to send some of my foremen home,
881
01:01:21,860 --> 01:01:24,120
and they can be replaced by your men.
882
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:24,953
- Excellent.
883
01:01:24,953 --> 01:01:26,190
- Some water?
884
01:01:26,190 --> 01:01:27,267
- Yes, thank you.
885
01:01:33,469 --> 01:01:35,310
(donkey braying)
886
01:01:35,310 --> 01:01:38,850
- Your Majesty, may I
be permitted a question?
887
01:01:38,850 --> 01:01:40,270
- Of course.
888
01:01:40,270 --> 01:01:43,870
- This temple, it will really be for God?
889
01:01:43,870 --> 01:01:45,430
God will live there?
890
01:01:45,430 --> 01:01:47,330
- [Solomon] Yes, Hiram,
God will live there.
891
01:01:47,330 --> 01:01:50,313
- But can God live on earth?
892
01:01:51,650 --> 01:01:53,900
- Hmm, that's an
interesting question, Hiram.
893
01:01:54,940 --> 01:01:56,273
Can God live on earth?
894
01:01:57,810 --> 01:01:59,860
Well, even heaven cannot contain God,
895
01:01:59,860 --> 01:02:02,110
much less this house
that you are building.
896
01:02:02,110 --> 01:02:05,457
But God said, "My name shall
be there, that you may heed
897
01:02:05,457 --> 01:02:08,910
"the prayer your servant
prays towards this place."
898
01:02:08,910 --> 01:02:11,763
I believe God wants us to
have a place to look towards,
899
01:02:12,780 --> 01:02:15,193
a place where we know
He hears our prayers.
900
01:02:16,780 --> 01:02:18,880
So you must do your best work, Hiram.
901
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:20,600
God has said this house
shall stand forever.
902
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:21,510
- Forever?
903
01:02:21,510 --> 01:02:22,520
- Forever.
904
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:24,320
- I shall try my best, Your Majesty.
905
01:02:26,011 --> 01:02:28,610
- Yah! (laughs)
906
01:02:28,610 --> 01:02:30,130
now, who will oversee the men of Israel
907
01:02:30,130 --> 01:02:31,780
once your men are departed, Hiram?
908
01:02:31,780 --> 01:02:33,870
- Why, I shall, Your Majesty.
909
01:02:33,870 --> 01:02:35,450
- Hmm, the men of Israel don't work well
910
01:02:35,450 --> 01:02:36,380
under foreign leadership.
911
01:02:36,380 --> 01:02:37,600
Don't be offended.
912
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,090
They're a difficult bunch.
913
01:02:39,090 --> 01:02:40,410
Do you have an Israeli working for you
914
01:02:40,410 --> 01:02:43,203
who is industrious and
able, one you can trust?
915
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:45,743
- Jeroboam.
916
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:47,913
Jeroboam!
917
01:02:52,610 --> 01:02:53,443
- Rise.
918
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,220
Hiram of Naphtali says that you're clever,
919
01:02:57,220 --> 01:02:58,933
hardworking and able to lead men.
920
01:03:00,370 --> 01:03:01,203
This is true, Hiram?
921
01:03:01,203 --> 01:03:03,510
- It is, Your Majesty.
922
01:03:03,510 --> 01:03:05,220
- I'm going to take his
recommendation and put you
923
01:03:05,220 --> 01:03:08,940
in charge of all of the
laborers, starting today.
924
01:03:08,940 --> 01:03:09,900
- Yes, Your Majesty.
925
01:03:09,900 --> 01:03:11,250
- Make sure they work hard.
926
01:03:14,770 --> 01:03:16,570
This is God's house you're building.
927
01:03:18,533 --> 01:03:20,260
The temple will need musicians, of course.
928
01:03:20,260 --> 01:03:21,093
- Yes, my lord.
929
01:03:21,093 --> 01:03:22,840
- And I want only the very
best, the most skilled.
930
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,770
And I want the men who
make the instruments, too.
931
01:03:24,770 --> 01:03:25,603
- Yes, my lord.
932
01:03:25,603 --> 01:03:26,520
- It will also be a school
933
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,120
where all the arts and
sciences are taught.
934
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,710
(laughs) My children!
(kids cheering)
935
01:03:32,710 --> 01:03:35,377
(Solomon claps)
936
01:03:39,936 --> 01:03:41,430
- Enough, enough!
937
01:03:41,430 --> 01:03:43,813
Come and show your father
what you've learned.
938
01:03:49,537 --> 01:03:54,537
(rhythmic percussion music)
(kids clapping)
939
01:03:59,609 --> 01:04:00,442
Turn.
940
01:04:18,187 --> 01:04:21,913
- Every one of my wives, (chuckles)
941
01:04:23,550 --> 01:04:25,680
every one of them, says
that you are an old lizard
942
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,740
and you're not putting
their child in the front row
943
01:04:27,740 --> 01:04:29,680
or heeding their child's
particular talent--
944
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:31,293
- Silence, watch the dance.
945
01:04:32,871 --> 01:04:35,538
(kids clapping)
946
01:04:36,730 --> 01:04:40,095
- Wives, I wish I could
cut some of them in half.
947
01:04:40,095 --> 01:04:42,430
- You're a fool to have so many wives.
948
01:04:42,430 --> 01:04:44,480
- I like women, Mother.
949
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,470
- Moses said a man shouldn't acquire
950
01:04:46,470 --> 01:04:49,730
many wives or else his heart turns away.
951
01:04:49,730 --> 01:04:52,500
- But I'm not a man, I'm a king! (laughs)
952
01:04:52,500 --> 01:04:54,193
- Moses was talking about a king.
953
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:57,460
No, keep together!
954
01:04:57,460 --> 01:04:58,943
No, no, no, the left foot!
955
01:04:59,830 --> 01:05:01,910
I've told you and told you and told you,
956
01:05:01,910 --> 01:05:05,690
you do not go beyond that
circle before you start to turn!
957
01:05:09,439 --> 01:05:10,909
(dramatic orchestral music)
958
01:05:10,909 --> 01:05:11,742
Oh no, oh!
959
01:05:13,728 --> 01:05:15,725
(body thuds)
(people shouting)
960
01:05:15,725 --> 01:05:18,559
(kids laughing)
961
01:05:18,559 --> 01:05:19,392
- Mother!
962
01:05:21,224 --> 01:05:22,057
Mother!
963
01:05:24,770 --> 01:05:25,603
- Solomon.
964
01:05:33,405 --> 01:05:36,155
(Solomon crying)
965
01:05:50,100 --> 01:05:54,433
(woman singing in foreign language)
966
01:06:22,214 --> 01:06:27,214
(people cheering)
(people whistling)
967
01:06:48,167 --> 01:06:50,063
- Praise the Lord, God of Israel.
968
01:06:51,870 --> 01:06:54,873
He has kept all His promises
made to the king, my father.
969
01:06:55,927 --> 01:06:57,920
And I, in turn, have kept my vows,
970
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,323
both to God and to my father.
971
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:06,260
The people of Israel
have built this temple
972
01:07:07,990 --> 01:07:11,280
as a dwelling place for the God Most High
973
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:17,280
and as a resting place for
this Holy Ark of the Covenant.
974
01:07:18,860 --> 01:07:22,270
It is fitting that the laws given to Moses
975
01:07:22,270 --> 01:07:27,270
by the Lord God Himself should
be kept forever in His house.
976
01:07:27,670 --> 01:07:31,860
Grant, Lord God, that we keep Your laws
977
01:07:32,730 --> 01:07:35,053
and please You in all that we do,
978
01:07:35,910 --> 01:07:40,053
both from this day and forevermore.
979
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:45,400
I pray You, look kindly on this place
980
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:48,080
and make it a house of prayer
981
01:07:49,767 --> 01:07:54,223
for all nations and all peoples.
982
01:07:55,144 --> 01:07:59,644
(inspirational choral symphony music)
983
01:08:22,944 --> 01:08:24,485
(thunder crashes)
984
01:08:24,485 --> 01:08:27,402
(people screaming)
985
01:08:43,890 --> 01:08:48,890
(wind whistling)
(dramatic orchestral music)
986
01:09:02,330 --> 01:09:04,430
- [God] I have heard your prayer, Solomon.
987
01:09:05,610 --> 01:09:07,640
I will grant your wish that I live
988
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,240
in the temple you have built for Me.
989
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:12,310
As for you, if you follow My laws,
990
01:09:12,310 --> 01:09:14,920
as did your father, David, then I will be
991
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,800
with you until the end of your days.
992
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:22,000
But if you turn away from Me
and serve other gods but Me,
993
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,943
then I will destroy the temple
that you have built for Me.
994
01:09:41,165 --> 01:09:43,915
(birds chirping)
995
01:09:45,722 --> 01:09:48,722
(elephant trumpets)
996
01:09:53,744 --> 01:09:57,137
(elephants trumpeting)
(people chattering)
997
01:09:57,137 --> 01:09:58,447
(camel grunting)
998
01:09:58,447 --> 01:10:01,864
(mysterious flute music)
999
01:10:04,474 --> 01:10:06,010
(donkey braying)
1000
01:10:06,010 --> 01:10:06,843
- Who are you?
1001
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:09,505
What are these magnificent beasts?
1002
01:10:09,505 --> 01:10:12,977
(people speaking in foreign language)
1003
01:10:12,977 --> 01:10:14,533
Where are you going?
1004
01:10:16,910 --> 01:10:18,190
Hello?
1005
01:10:18,190 --> 01:10:20,130
Hello, may I present myself?
1006
01:10:20,130 --> 01:10:21,980
I'm King Solomon, the King of Israel.
1007
01:10:23,428 --> 01:10:24,636
(Makida laughs)
1008
01:10:24,636 --> 01:10:26,020
(elephant trumpets)
1009
01:10:26,020 --> 01:10:28,260
(laughs) Actually, it's true.
1010
01:10:28,260 --> 01:10:29,733
I am the King of Israel.
1011
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:34,520
Where are you going?
1012
01:10:35,650 --> 01:10:37,320
- [Makida] To Jerusalem.
1013
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:38,953
Ride ahead and tell your king
1014
01:10:38,953 --> 01:10:41,411
that the Queen of Sheba is coming.
1015
01:10:41,411 --> 01:10:44,911
(upbeat percussion music)
1016
01:10:47,625 --> 01:10:49,670
- (laughs) Thank you.
1017
01:10:49,670 --> 01:10:51,028
I'll be sure to tell the king.
1018
01:10:51,028 --> 01:10:54,111
(monkeys screeching)
1019
01:10:58,737 --> 01:11:01,404
(horns blaring)
1020
01:11:26,434 --> 01:11:29,851
(mysterious flute music)
1021
01:11:35,031 --> 01:11:37,948
(jewelry rattling)
1022
01:11:42,223 --> 01:11:45,690
I am King Solomon of Israel and Judah.
1023
01:11:45,690 --> 01:11:48,290
I bid you welcome on behalf
of all of my countrymen.
1024
01:11:49,180 --> 01:11:51,310
- The fame of King Solomon has spread
1025
01:11:51,310 --> 01:11:55,840
like a rising tide, even
as far as Axum and Saaba.
1026
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:58,230
I have crossed the desert for many months
1027
01:11:58,230 --> 01:12:00,370
to bathe in the ocean of his wisdom
1028
01:12:02,380 --> 01:12:06,073
and to see his considerable
skills on a donkey.
1029
01:12:06,935 --> 01:12:09,852
(people chuckling)
1030
01:12:11,050 --> 01:12:13,773
I am Makida, Queen of Sheba.
1031
01:12:17,318 --> 01:12:20,985
(dramatic orchestral music)
1032
01:12:26,118 --> 01:12:28,516
(people applauding)
1033
01:12:28,516 --> 01:12:29,910
- [Makida] Is this a shrine to Astarte?
1034
01:12:29,910 --> 01:12:31,053
- It is.
1035
01:12:32,020 --> 01:12:33,050
- [Makida] How can this be allowed?
1036
01:12:33,050 --> 01:12:34,670
You worship your one God.
1037
01:12:34,670 --> 01:12:36,320
- We're a trading nation.
1038
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,470
Merchants come from all over the world.
1039
01:12:38,470 --> 01:12:39,303
If they couldn't worship their gods,
1040
01:12:39,303 --> 01:12:41,500
they'd go somewhere else.
1041
01:12:41,500 --> 01:12:44,868
- [Makida] How strange,
to put trade before faith?
1042
01:12:44,868 --> 01:12:48,332
- (laughs) Now you sound like my priests.
1043
01:12:48,332 --> 01:12:51,332
(elephant trumpets)
1044
01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:56,170
Something is wrong with the fruit?
1045
01:12:56,170 --> 01:12:58,343
- [Makida] Nothing, just an ant.
1046
01:12:59,500 --> 01:13:00,417
- Just an ant?
1047
01:13:01,530 --> 01:13:02,783
You should consider them.
1048
01:13:04,020 --> 01:13:05,870
I've learned much from watching ants.
1049
01:13:07,210 --> 01:13:08,680
- [Makida] You watch the ants?
1050
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,080
- Oh, yes, it's fascinating.
1051
01:13:11,180 --> 01:13:14,320
We think the lion the king among
beasts but what does he do?
1052
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,553
He finds his lair, he does not build it.
1053
01:13:17,440 --> 01:13:18,470
And he would rather sleep
1054
01:13:18,470 --> 01:13:21,020
while his lioness does the hunting.
1055
01:13:21,020 --> 01:13:24,720
But the ant builds his own city.
1056
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,060
They have their ruler, their soldiers,
1057
01:13:27,060 --> 01:13:30,050
and they all work together
for the common good.
1058
01:13:30,050 --> 01:13:32,593
Oh, we would do well to study the ants.
1059
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:38,488
- [Makida] Oh! (laughs)
1060
01:13:38,488 --> 01:13:42,969
- (laughs) But I wish
they'd find their own food.
1061
01:13:42,969 --> 01:13:45,770
(both laughing)
1062
01:13:45,770 --> 01:13:50,770
The fear of the Lord is
the beginning of knowledge.
1063
01:13:53,420 --> 01:13:55,380
Keep the Lord's commandments and teachings
1064
01:13:55,380 --> 01:13:56,993
as the apple of your eye.
1065
01:13:59,550 --> 01:14:01,450
Train your children well so when old,
1066
01:14:01,450 --> 01:14:02,600
they will not fail you.
1067
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:10,710
And he who loves
discipline, loves knowledge.
1068
01:14:10,710 --> 01:14:13,903
He who hates to be rebuked is stupid.
1069
01:14:15,330 --> 01:14:17,653
Also, those who belittle
another lack sense.
1070
01:14:20,440 --> 01:14:22,860
And the righteous know the
needs of their animals.
1071
01:14:22,860 --> 01:14:24,870
Only the wicked are cruel.
1072
01:14:24,870 --> 01:14:26,665
(people laughing)
1073
01:14:26,665 --> 01:14:29,498
(chuckles) A soft answer turns away wrath.
1074
01:14:29,498 --> 01:14:31,920
(people laughing)
1075
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,220
The beginning of strife
is like a leak of water,
1076
01:14:34,220 --> 01:14:37,143
so stop before the argument begins.
1077
01:14:43,630 --> 01:14:48,630
And remember, the wise man remains silent,
1078
01:14:49,050 --> 01:14:52,463
so even fools who keep quiet
can be considered wise.
1079
01:14:56,359 --> 01:14:58,509
(audience laughing)
1080
01:14:58,509 --> 01:15:01,676
(audience applauding)
1081
01:15:06,668 --> 01:15:09,920
(mellow flute and drum music)
1082
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:14,763
I called upon God, and the
spirit of wisdom came to me.
1083
01:15:16,185 --> 01:15:19,067
But in you, there is an
understanding, clear,
1084
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:26,660
undefiled, plain, loving
the thing that is good.
1085
01:15:27,671 --> 01:15:31,367
You see as only a woman can,
a mirror to God's goodness.
1086
01:15:35,300 --> 01:15:36,990
You are the queen to my king.
1087
01:15:39,153 --> 01:15:41,600
I've sought you ever since I was a youth
1088
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:44,743
without knowing what it was I was seeking.
1089
01:15:46,825 --> 01:15:50,040
- Solomon, more than anything else
1090
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,684
in the world, I want to bear you a son.
1091
01:15:53,684 --> 01:15:57,113
- (chuckles) Then our minds are as one.
1092
01:15:59,752 --> 01:16:02,880
More than anything else in the
world, I want to marry you.
1093
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,803
- Solomon, I cannot
abandon my people forever.
1094
01:16:06,841 --> 01:16:10,370
A crown is like a seam of gold.
1095
01:16:10,370 --> 01:16:12,120
There are always those who seek it.
1096
01:16:13,350 --> 01:16:16,800
One day, I will have to return.
1097
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:17,883
- But a boy from you,
1098
01:16:19,710 --> 01:16:21,660
that promises us a whole year together.
1099
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:24,747
- You shall have your year.
1100
01:16:26,899 --> 01:16:28,899
And I will be your wife.
1101
01:16:34,113 --> 01:16:36,087
Yes, (chuckles) I will.
1102
01:16:36,087 --> 01:16:39,004
(dancers clapping)
1103
01:16:45,308 --> 01:16:48,975
(dramatic orchestral music)
1104
01:17:12,211 --> 01:17:15,211
(people applauding)
1105
01:17:36,916 --> 01:17:40,660
- Oh, my love, how much better are
1106
01:17:40,660 --> 01:17:43,710
your kisses than wine. (pants)
1107
01:17:52,015 --> 01:17:53,350
- My lord?
1108
01:17:53,350 --> 01:17:56,250
- Not now, Jeroboam, I'm
late to meet my queen.
1109
01:17:56,250 --> 01:17:58,080
- They sent me to speak for them.
1110
01:17:58,080 --> 01:17:59,270
- Who sent you?
1111
01:17:59,270 --> 01:18:01,420
- The elders, the officers of the court.
1112
01:18:01,420 --> 01:18:04,280
They say we are friends, they
say you will listen to me.
1113
01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:06,133
- Very well, what is it?
1114
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:08,233
Say it!
1115
01:18:10,010 --> 01:18:12,733
- The ship of state needs
someone at the steering oar.
1116
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,363
- What does that mean, Jeroboam?
1117
01:18:18,940 --> 01:18:21,660
- There are matters which
demand your attention
1118
01:18:21,660 --> 01:18:24,290
other than the Queen of Sheba's thighs.
1119
01:18:24,290 --> 01:18:28,663
- Jeroboam, listen to me
and listen to me carefully.
1120
01:18:30,890 --> 01:18:35,890
I love her, above duty, above health.
1121
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:41,403
I choose her over light.
1122
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:44,403
She is the breath of God.
1123
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,253
- Solomon, she's a woman.
1124
01:18:50,285 --> 01:18:51,118
- Exactly.
1125
01:18:55,498 --> 01:18:56,748
- Oh, oh, feel.
1126
01:19:03,850 --> 01:19:06,555
(moans) It's a boy.
1127
01:19:06,555 --> 01:19:08,880
(chuckles) I am sure.
1128
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:13,383
The way he kicks, ooh, he
will be a great athlete.
1129
01:19:17,440 --> 01:19:22,440
- My love, if it is a
boy, I want him to be
1130
01:19:22,620 --> 01:19:26,931
my heir, King of Israel and Judah.
1131
01:19:26,931 --> 01:19:30,691
- But you've promised it to Rehoboam.
1132
01:19:30,691 --> 01:19:31,910
(dramatic orchestral music)
1133
01:19:31,910 --> 01:19:33,340
He is to be your heir.
1134
01:19:33,340 --> 01:19:34,763
- Unless I decide otherwise.
1135
01:19:36,020 --> 01:19:37,970
Stay here with me.
1136
01:19:37,970 --> 01:19:42,340
We will raise a mighty king, strong, wise,
1137
01:19:42,340 --> 01:19:44,300
whose voice will be heard
throughout the land,
1138
01:19:44,300 --> 01:19:46,543
proclaiming the righteousness of the Lord.
1139
01:19:46,543 --> 01:19:49,043
(baby crying)
1140
01:19:58,933 --> 01:20:01,600
(Solomon sighs)
1141
01:20:04,987 --> 01:20:08,319
(baby cooing)
1142
01:20:08,319 --> 01:20:09,293
I knew it!
1143
01:20:10,871 --> 01:20:11,954
A boy, a boy!
1144
01:20:14,808 --> 01:20:15,641
A king!
1145
01:20:17,820 --> 01:20:21,263
I shall call you Menelik, the Chosen One.
1146
01:20:24,548 --> 01:20:28,370
Thank you, God, thank you!
1147
01:20:30,178 --> 01:20:33,095
(Solomon laughing)
1148
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,550
- No, it is out of the question!
1149
01:20:37,550 --> 01:20:40,430
It's outrageous that you could
even contemplate such an act!
1150
01:20:40,430 --> 01:20:41,950
- She is not of our faith!
1151
01:20:41,950 --> 01:20:43,710
I don't know who she worships,
1152
01:20:43,710 --> 01:20:45,780
but it is not the one true God.
1153
01:20:45,780 --> 01:20:48,520
- She wishes to embrace our faith!
1154
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:50,100
- You know the law!
1155
01:20:50,100 --> 01:20:52,720
She must be one of us,
1156
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,969
raised and born in fear of the living God!
1157
01:20:55,969 --> 01:20:58,829
(people chattering)
1158
01:20:58,829 --> 01:21:00,650
- That is your final word?
1159
01:21:00,650 --> 01:21:02,123
- It is the Holy Law.
1160
01:21:03,107 --> 01:21:06,107
(people chattering)
1161
01:21:30,408 --> 01:21:34,075
(dramatic orchestral music)
1162
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:36,830
- Don't ask.
1163
01:21:36,830 --> 01:21:39,600
- But please, please stay.
1164
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,840
- To join your 700 wives?
- Never!
1165
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:43,360
- I am the queen of my country.
1166
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:44,540
My son is the heir.
1167
01:21:44,540 --> 01:21:46,720
I have been blinded by my love
1168
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:49,823
for you, but now they have let me see.
1169
01:21:51,014 --> 01:21:53,360
At first, I was a curiosity.
1170
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,510
Now, I am a hated stranger.
- Never hated.
1171
01:21:55,510 --> 01:21:58,000
- You can rule your people, Solomon,
1172
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:00,333
but you cannot command them to love me,
1173
01:22:02,619 --> 01:22:07,619
or our son.
1174
01:22:08,780 --> 01:22:11,530
(Solomon crying)
1175
01:22:18,071 --> 01:22:23,071
(camels grunting)
(people chattering)
1176
01:22:23,582 --> 01:22:24,760
(donkey braying)
1177
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,520
- Look at them, more gold.
1178
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:29,660
- 600 talents of gold, I've heard tell.
1179
01:22:29,660 --> 01:22:30,650
- 600?
1180
01:22:30,650 --> 01:22:33,880
That's a whole year of taxes
for the entire country.
1181
01:22:33,880 --> 01:22:35,460
- He's gone mad.
1182
01:22:35,460 --> 01:22:37,090
- You never know what a man will do
1183
01:22:37,090 --> 01:22:39,490
when he starts thinking with his groin.
1184
01:22:39,490 --> 01:22:43,090
- Look at them, our finest
citizens commanded to relocate.
1185
01:22:43,090 --> 01:22:46,110
- I don't pay taxes to pour
into some hole in Africa.
1186
01:22:46,110 --> 01:22:48,300
- Why are we still paying these taxes?
1187
01:22:48,300 --> 01:22:50,740
I thought once the temple was built.
1188
01:22:50,740 --> 01:22:51,573
- That's why!
1189
01:22:53,690 --> 01:22:56,440
(donkey braying)
1190
01:22:58,725 --> 01:23:01,558
(drink splashing)
1191
01:23:09,170 --> 01:23:10,420
- What is this?
1192
01:23:11,759 --> 01:23:13,480
(cup clatters)
Gold cups!
1193
01:23:13,480 --> 01:23:15,223
I want nothing but gold!
1194
01:23:23,773 --> 01:23:26,523
(drink splashes)
1195
01:23:33,298 --> 01:23:34,131
Ah, gold.
1196
01:23:38,870 --> 01:23:39,703
Good.
1197
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,410
Do you know why it is good, Jeroboam?
1198
01:23:45,410 --> 01:23:47,270
Because one man goes deep into the earth
1199
01:23:47,270 --> 01:23:50,940
to dig it up, another man melts it
1200
01:23:50,940 --> 01:23:55,740
to make it pure, another
shapes it into a cup,
1201
01:23:55,740 --> 01:23:58,260
and another etches a
beautiful design upon it.
1202
01:23:58,260 --> 01:23:59,093
Why?
1203
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,483
So the King can have the
very best, that is why.
1204
01:24:05,300 --> 01:24:06,193
All is vanity.
1205
01:24:08,570 --> 01:24:09,450
- Solomon.
1206
01:24:09,450 --> 01:24:11,940
- All things are wearisome, Jeroboam,
1207
01:24:11,940 --> 01:24:13,240
more than one can express.
1208
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:17,920
The eye is not satisfied with the seeing,
1209
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:19,790
the ear is not filled with the hearing,
1210
01:24:19,790 --> 01:24:22,770
yet there is nothing new under the sun.
1211
01:24:22,770 --> 01:24:23,830
- Solomon.
1212
01:24:23,830 --> 01:24:28,830
- I applied my mind to
seek and search out wisdom,
1213
01:24:28,870 --> 01:24:32,230
and it is an unhappy
business that God has given
1214
01:24:32,230 --> 01:24:34,380
human beings, for all is vanity.
1215
01:24:34,380 --> 01:24:36,910
- You have acquired much wisdom, Solomon.
1216
01:24:36,910 --> 01:24:38,713
- Much wisdom is much vexation!
1217
01:24:41,270 --> 01:24:43,810
Those who increase in
knowledge, increase in sorrow.
1218
01:24:43,810 --> 01:24:45,700
- That is not true.
1219
01:24:45,700 --> 01:24:47,120
- No?
1220
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:49,270
I said to myself, come, Solomon,
1221
01:24:49,270 --> 01:24:52,303
make a test of pleasure, enjoy yourself.
1222
01:24:53,740 --> 01:24:56,387
I searched with my mind how to,
1223
01:24:57,568 --> 01:25:00,760
how to cheer my body so that I might see
1224
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,770
what it was that mortals should do
1225
01:25:02,770 --> 01:25:07,130
under heaven in the few days
of their lives. (laughs)
1226
01:25:07,130 --> 01:25:12,130
Vanity, I made great works.
1227
01:25:12,210 --> 01:25:16,000
I have great possessions,
delights of the flesh.
1228
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:18,500
Whatever my eye desires,
I did not keep from them.
1229
01:25:21,640 --> 01:25:23,140
Vanity.
1230
01:25:23,140 --> 01:25:25,850
- Solomon, you are a king to your people.
1231
01:25:25,850 --> 01:25:28,803
- What happens to the fool
will also happen to the king.
1232
01:25:30,460 --> 01:25:33,127
All come from dust, to
dust all shall return.
1233
01:25:34,860 --> 01:25:37,931
Why, then, do I have to be so wise?
1234
01:25:37,931 --> 01:25:40,650
(chuckles) Vanity.
1235
01:25:40,650 --> 01:25:43,337
- You gave us the temple, Solomon--
1236
01:25:43,337 --> 01:25:45,960
- The temple I must leave
to those who come after.
1237
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:48,110
Who knows whether they
will be wise or foolish?
1238
01:25:48,110 --> 01:25:51,500
It is not for them, it is for me!
1239
01:25:51,500 --> 01:25:52,563
Vanity!
1240
01:26:03,699 --> 01:26:07,890
Jeroboam, what do mortals get
from all the toil and strain?
1241
01:26:07,890 --> 01:26:10,830
All our days are full of pain.
1242
01:26:10,830 --> 01:26:13,200
Even at night, our minds do not rest.
1243
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,200
This is also vanity.
1244
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:16,780
- It is God's will.
1245
01:26:16,780 --> 01:26:19,283
- Oh, God's will!
1246
01:26:21,060 --> 01:26:24,340
Every time a question is
asked that cannot be answered,
1247
01:26:24,340 --> 01:26:28,610
someone always says, it is God's will!
1248
01:26:28,610 --> 01:26:30,520
I believe God's will is already written.
1249
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:32,623
Man has nothing to do with it.
1250
01:26:34,450 --> 01:26:37,610
There is a season for
everything and a time
1251
01:26:37,610 --> 01:26:42,610
for every purpose under the
heaven, all God's iron will.
1252
01:26:43,600 --> 01:26:45,620
A time to be born, a time to die,
1253
01:26:45,620 --> 01:26:47,400
a time to kill, a time to heal,
1254
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,260
a time to weep, a time to laugh,
1255
01:26:49,260 --> 01:26:53,143
a time to dance, a time to mourn.
1256
01:26:55,540 --> 01:26:56,693
God's will?
1257
01:26:57,970 --> 01:26:59,810
Business that God has given everyone
1258
01:26:59,810 --> 01:27:03,393
just, just to keep them busy!
1259
01:27:04,630 --> 01:27:06,093
But we cannot know God.
1260
01:27:07,610 --> 01:27:09,550
We cannot find out what God has done
1261
01:27:09,550 --> 01:27:11,840
from the beginning to the end.
1262
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:15,547
Because what is, already has been,
1263
01:27:15,547 --> 01:27:18,353
and what is to be, already is.
1264
01:27:19,936 --> 01:27:21,283
Vanity is all there is.
1265
01:27:22,705 --> 01:27:25,293
(laughs) The more words, the more vanity.
1266
01:27:29,440 --> 01:27:33,390
The race is not to the swift,
nor the battle to the strong,
1267
01:27:33,390 --> 01:27:35,780
nor bread to the wise, nor
riches to the intelligence,
1268
01:27:35,780 --> 01:27:40,633
but time and chance happen to them all.
1269
01:27:42,172 --> 01:27:45,463
Mere chance, belief otherwise is vanity.
1270
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:48,573
- I believe in God.
1271
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:52,229
(horse clopping)
1272
01:27:54,816 --> 01:27:57,566
(horse whinnies)
1273
01:28:06,830 --> 01:28:09,480
- Jeroboam, remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
1274
01:28:09,480 --> 01:28:14,230
before the days of troubles
come, for the years draw near,
1275
01:28:14,230 --> 01:28:17,363
faster than you think, when you will say,
1276
01:28:20,570 --> 01:28:23,793
I have no pleasure.
1277
01:28:29,210 --> 01:28:34,210
When strong men are bent,
the golden bowl is broken,
1278
01:28:34,830 --> 01:28:37,760
and the breath returns to God who gave it.
1279
01:28:40,406 --> 01:28:43,073
(Solomon sighs)
1280
01:28:43,990 --> 01:28:44,940
Vanity of vanities.
1281
01:28:52,993 --> 01:28:54,160
All is vanity.
1282
01:28:58,338 --> 01:29:01,347
(dramatic orchestral music)
(cart rattling)
1283
01:29:01,347 --> 01:29:03,847
- The King is here, he's here!
1284
01:29:05,621 --> 01:29:06,454
Quickly.
1285
01:29:08,740 --> 01:29:10,612
Welcome, my husband and king.
1286
01:29:10,612 --> 01:29:13,403
(Solomon chuckles)
1287
01:29:13,403 --> 01:29:16,120
(bird screeches)
1288
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:20,850
- Is the great goddess Ashtoreth
answering your prayers?
1289
01:29:20,850 --> 01:29:22,740
- She doesn't have to answer our prayers.
1290
01:29:22,740 --> 01:29:24,320
She grants us children and cares
1291
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:26,810
for the spirits of our
loved ones in the afterlife.
1292
01:29:26,810 --> 01:29:28,760
They shine down on us each night.
1293
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:31,618
- Make an offering to
the Mother of us all.
1294
01:29:31,618 --> 01:29:35,140
- (chuckles) No, no, no, no,
I worship the one true God.
1295
01:29:35,140 --> 01:29:38,560
- Make an offering for
the Mother of true love
1296
01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:42,243
and your children, for the
love you have shown me.
1297
01:29:47,214 --> 01:29:48,987
(smoke hisses)
1298
01:29:48,987 --> 01:29:53,549
(Solomon and women chuckling)
1299
01:29:53,549 --> 01:29:57,190
- It is written that
the children of Israel
1300
01:29:57,190 --> 01:30:01,610
should beware of marrying
outside the faith.
1301
01:30:01,610 --> 01:30:05,714
If you persist in your
worship of false gods,
1302
01:30:05,714 --> 01:30:09,320
you will bring God's
anger on your own head
1303
01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:12,430
and onto all this land
of Israel and Judah!
1304
01:30:12,430 --> 01:30:14,583
- I study the world!
1305
01:30:15,610 --> 01:30:18,903
It is possible to learn from
the false as well as the true.
1306
01:30:19,810 --> 01:30:21,780
God has given me the gift of wisdom,
1307
01:30:21,780 --> 01:30:24,103
and I shall use it as I see fit!
1308
01:30:26,822 --> 01:30:29,000
(people muttering)
1309
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:31,380
Now you stick to the tasks that God
1310
01:30:31,380 --> 01:30:33,157
and I have given you, Zadok,
1311
01:30:36,053 --> 01:30:38,221
and I will stick to mine.
1312
01:30:38,221 --> 01:30:41,221
(people chattering)
1313
01:30:44,630 --> 01:30:46,203
Self-righteous fools!
1314
01:30:48,470 --> 01:30:51,100
- They know the law, and they
know you are breaking it.
1315
01:30:51,100 --> 01:30:54,040
- It was I who was given
the gift of wisdom,
1316
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:57,250
by God Himself, not those
doddering, old windbags.
1317
01:30:57,250 --> 01:30:59,330
- They are God's representatives on earth.
1318
01:30:59,330 --> 01:31:03,520
- I am God's representative on earth.
1319
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:05,540
I am His anointed.
1320
01:31:05,540 --> 01:31:07,250
What business is it of theirs
1321
01:31:07,250 --> 01:31:09,980
if I show a tolerance to foreign gods?
1322
01:31:09,980 --> 01:31:13,497
- Building temples to them is
more than showing tolerance!
1323
01:31:13,497 --> 01:31:15,663
- (chuckles) What do you know?
1324
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:17,773
You are a laborer.
1325
01:31:20,350 --> 01:31:24,330
- This laborer thinks you should
1326
01:31:24,330 --> 01:31:26,363
take one of your secret walks.
1327
01:31:29,380 --> 01:31:34,380
(people laughing)
(people chattering)
1328
01:31:42,411 --> 01:31:45,670
- On a hill, not far from my farm,
1329
01:31:45,670 --> 01:31:49,140
you can see it from my sheep
pens, an altar to Chemosh.
1330
01:31:49,140 --> 01:31:50,720
I keep my woman and kids inside
1331
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:52,520
under lock and key when they're about.
1332
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:55,270
Disgusting, shouldn't be allowed.
1333
01:31:55,270 --> 01:31:57,050
And you know who I saw up there?
1334
01:31:57,050 --> 01:32:01,920
The King himself, yes, it's
true, with his fancy women.
1335
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:03,140
All over them, he was.
1336
01:32:03,140 --> 01:32:04,766
Yes dearest, no dearest.
1337
01:32:04,766 --> 01:32:06,493
(both laughing)
1338
01:32:06,493 --> 01:32:09,520
- They're all over the
place, these altars,
1339
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:10,710
like a plague of boils!
1340
01:32:10,710 --> 01:32:13,051
- Ha, let's go and pull it down.
1341
01:32:13,051 --> 01:32:18,051
(men laughing)
(dramatic orchestral music)
1342
01:32:24,999 --> 01:32:26,431
(tools clanking)
(men grunting)
1343
01:32:26,431 --> 01:32:29,264
(stone crunching)
1344
01:32:31,784 --> 01:32:34,367
(men laughing)
1345
01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:50,170
(coins rattling)
1346
01:32:50,170 --> 01:32:51,363
- I carry nothing.
1347
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:57,260
- You carry a heavy burden of wrongs
1348
01:32:57,260 --> 01:32:58,753
against the one true God.
1349
01:33:00,233 --> 01:33:02,650
Because you have turned against Me
1350
01:33:02,650 --> 01:33:06,160
and not kept covenant with
Me, I will tear your kingdom
1351
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:09,340
from you and give it to your servant.
1352
01:33:09,340 --> 01:33:10,760
For your father, David's sake,
1353
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:11,930
while you live, you shall rule.
1354
01:33:11,930 --> 01:33:14,993
But when you die, I
will divide the kingdom.
1355
01:33:15,910 --> 01:33:17,330
I will give your son one tribe,
1356
01:33:17,330 --> 01:33:19,790
but the rest will I tear from him.
1357
01:33:19,790 --> 01:33:21,427
Thus speaks the Lord, your God.
1358
01:33:28,222 --> 01:33:30,889
(rooster crows)
1359
01:33:37,388 --> 01:33:42,388
(horse clomping)
(mysterious orchestral music)
1360
01:33:46,373 --> 01:33:50,360
- Ah, Jeroboam, come, eat.
1361
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:51,657
I've been waiting for you.
1362
01:33:51,657 --> 01:33:52,653
- You know my name?
1363
01:33:54,031 --> 01:33:55,271
Who are you?
1364
01:33:55,271 --> 01:33:56,373
Did the King send you?
1365
01:33:57,410 --> 01:33:59,460
- [Ahijah] Not the King you mean.
1366
01:33:59,460 --> 01:34:01,560
I'm Ahijah from Shiloh.
1367
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:04,243
I serve our God, as I know you do also.
1368
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:07,550
Some say I'm a prophet.
1369
01:34:09,109 --> 01:34:10,500
- [Jeroboam] And are you?
1370
01:34:10,500 --> 01:34:14,460
- Perhaps, perhaps I hear
God more clearly than most.
1371
01:34:14,460 --> 01:34:16,503
Oh, I have a message for you.
1372
01:34:22,281 --> 01:34:24,020
This is strong new cloth.
1373
01:34:24,020 --> 01:34:24,960
Have you a knife?
1374
01:34:31,670 --> 01:34:32,503
- Good, come.
1375
01:34:45,382 --> 01:34:48,299
(cloth scratching)
1376
01:34:51,710 --> 01:34:54,210
These 12 pieces of my cloak represent
1377
01:34:54,210 --> 01:34:55,503
the 12 tribes of Israel.
1378
01:34:57,592 --> 01:34:58,892
This is God's word to you.
1379
01:35:00,670 --> 01:35:04,510
Solomon has broken his laws
and worshiped false gods.
1380
01:35:04,510 --> 01:35:05,343
You have not.
1381
01:35:06,190 --> 01:35:08,833
So, thus speaks the God of Israel.
1382
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:15,120
He will take the kingdom away
from Solomon's son, Rehoboam,
1383
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:18,223
give it to you, that is, the 10 tribes.
1384
01:35:19,170 --> 01:35:23,076
Now, he will give the
tribe of Judah to Rehoboam,
1385
01:35:23,076 --> 01:35:24,840
so that his servant,
David, will always have
1386
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:26,390
a lamp before him in Jerusalem.
1387
01:35:28,130 --> 01:35:29,030
Do you understand?
1388
01:35:33,946 --> 01:35:36,723
Good, then I must be on my way.
1389
01:35:40,100 --> 01:35:43,930
Keep God's law, and He
will keep faith with you.
1390
01:35:43,930 --> 01:35:44,763
Come.
1391
01:35:46,376 --> 01:35:47,209
Come!
1392
01:35:48,242 --> 01:35:49,820
- Where are you going?
1393
01:35:49,820 --> 01:35:52,049
- To deliver the last
two pieces of my cloak.
1394
01:35:52,049 --> 01:35:57,049
(laughs) Come on!
1395
01:35:57,529 --> 01:36:00,180
- God would do this?
1396
01:36:00,180 --> 01:36:01,580
- I am simply His messenger.
1397
01:36:03,770 --> 01:36:05,670
- I should have you killed.
1398
01:36:05,670 --> 01:36:08,050
- I know it is sometimes the
custom to kill the messenger
1399
01:36:08,050 --> 01:36:11,593
who bears bad news, but
the messenger from God?
1400
01:36:13,570 --> 01:36:14,770
I would think carefully.
1401
01:36:18,463 --> 01:36:19,519
(Solomon gasps)
1402
01:36:19,519 --> 01:36:23,186
(dramatic orchestral music)
1403
01:36:29,377 --> 01:36:32,113
- Guard, guard! (pants)
1404
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:34,540
Start a search.
1405
01:36:34,540 --> 01:36:36,663
I want Jeroboam found and killed.
1406
01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:38,783
He must not escape.
1407
01:36:40,236 --> 01:36:41,670
A thousand measures of gold
1408
01:36:41,670 --> 01:36:43,620
to the man who brings me back his body!
1409
01:36:48,174 --> 01:36:50,924
(Solomon crying)
1410
01:36:53,022 --> 01:36:54,939
Oh Lord, Lord, oh Lord!
1411
01:36:58,114 --> 01:37:02,364
Oh Lord! (cries)
1412
01:37:06,733 --> 01:37:09,483
(Solomon crying)
1413
01:37:18,448 --> 01:37:23,448
(dramatic orchestral music)
(metal clanking)
1414
01:37:27,069 --> 01:37:30,067
(horse grunts)
1415
01:37:30,067 --> 01:37:33,067
- A gift from Ahijah, the Shilonite.
1416
01:37:38,940 --> 01:37:39,803
Keep that, too.
1417
01:37:43,210 --> 01:37:45,140
(horse whinnies)
1418
01:37:45,140 --> 01:37:46,190
Now ride for Egypt.
1419
01:37:46,190 --> 01:37:47,850
Your life is in grave danger.
1420
01:37:47,850 --> 01:37:49,680
Stay there until you hear
that Solomon is dead.
1421
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:51,376
Ride for your life! (roars)
1422
01:37:51,376 --> 01:37:54,126
(horse clomping)
1423
01:37:59,982 --> 01:38:01,482
- Where is my son?
1424
01:38:03,291 --> 01:38:04,791
Where is Rehoboam?
1425
01:38:15,606 --> 01:38:20,107
Rehoboam, my days draw to an end.
1426
01:38:21,798 --> 01:38:23,623
And I have been a fool.
1427
01:38:27,340 --> 01:38:31,190
Listen to me, my son, listen to me.
1428
01:38:33,103 --> 01:38:37,777
Fear God and keep His commandments.
1429
01:38:39,850 --> 01:38:41,400
- I understand you, Father.
1430
01:38:42,400 --> 01:38:47,110
- Deal, deal wisely with the tribes.
1431
01:38:49,550 --> 01:38:51,053
- Don't worry, Father.
1432
01:38:53,330 --> 01:38:55,630
I know how to deal with them.
1433
01:38:55,630 --> 01:38:57,783
- No, no, no! (gurgles)
1434
01:39:06,939 --> 01:39:10,439
(somber orchestral music)
1435
01:39:23,190 --> 01:39:26,190
(people chattering)
1436
01:39:31,237 --> 01:39:36,095
- Clear the way for the King.
(people applauding)
1437
01:39:36,095 --> 01:39:38,928
(people cheering)
1438
01:39:50,665 --> 01:39:52,970
(birds chirping)
1439
01:39:52,970 --> 01:39:57,093
- Well, I've come to be
anointed as your king.
1440
01:39:58,700 --> 01:40:00,083
Have you lost your tongues?
1441
01:40:01,033 --> 01:40:03,073
(door clanks)
1442
01:40:03,073 --> 01:40:05,194
(people cheering)
1443
01:40:05,194 --> 01:40:08,194
(people applauding)
1444
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:14,953
You!
1445
01:40:17,140 --> 01:40:19,720
- Your father broke God's Holy Law
1446
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:23,320
and His punishment has
fallen on His people.
1447
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,030
They groaned under Solomon's taxes.
1448
01:40:26,030 --> 01:40:28,390
They bled under the lash
of his forced labor.
1449
01:40:28,390 --> 01:40:30,733
They will tolerate these things no longer!
1450
01:40:30,733 --> 01:40:33,566
(people cheering)
1451
01:40:34,540 --> 01:40:37,853
They want your word there
will be no more forced labor,
1452
01:40:38,710 --> 01:40:40,650
and the taxes will be fair!
1453
01:40:40,650 --> 01:40:43,100
- Yes!
(people cheering)
1454
01:40:43,100 --> 01:40:47,142
- Otherwise, they refuse
to become your subjects.
1455
01:40:47,142 --> 01:40:49,975
(people cheering)
1456
01:40:58,170 --> 01:40:59,223
- They refuse?
1457
01:41:02,910 --> 01:41:05,723
I will discuss these
matters with my council.
1458
01:41:08,350 --> 01:41:10,173
We meet again in three days.
1459
01:41:12,480 --> 01:41:15,313
(people shouting)
1460
01:41:22,701 --> 01:41:26,118
- I beg you, my lord, consider carefully.
1461
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:31,533
Your noble father always
preferred peace to war.
1462
01:41:32,842 --> 01:41:35,540
Of all wars that can be waged,
1463
01:41:35,540 --> 01:41:40,203
the worst, the most bloody is a civil war.
1464
01:41:41,220 --> 01:41:43,278
It would be the end of the kingdom.
1465
01:41:43,278 --> 01:41:46,111
(people shouting)
1466
01:41:47,586 --> 01:41:48,836
- You are King!
1467
01:41:50,460 --> 01:41:53,790
Any sign of weakness, if you
give way to their demands,
1468
01:41:53,790 --> 01:41:56,293
they will walk over you
like cattle over a meadow!
1469
01:41:57,360 --> 01:41:58,983
I say, stand firm!
1470
01:42:00,140 --> 01:42:02,478
Why listen to these old graybeards?
1471
01:42:02,478 --> 01:42:07,478
(people applauding)
(people cheering)
1472
01:42:10,318 --> 01:42:12,460
(dramatic orchestral music)
1473
01:42:12,460 --> 01:42:14,523
- I have heard the young men of Judah.
1474
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:17,283
They acknowledge me King.
1475
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:23,663
As for you, you thought my
father's yoke was heavy?
1476
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:26,313
Wait until you feel mine.
1477
01:42:27,740 --> 01:42:29,763
You thought my father's taxes too high.
1478
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:32,783
Mine will crush you.
1479
01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:36,763
How dare you speak out
against your lawful King?
1480
01:42:38,550 --> 01:42:41,400
My father chastised you with whips.
1481
01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:43,890
I shall use scorpions!
1482
01:42:43,890 --> 01:42:46,313
I am your King!
1483
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:51,384
This finger is thicker
than my father's thigh!
1484
01:42:51,384 --> 01:42:54,384
(people chattering)
1485
01:42:56,200 --> 01:42:58,100
- That is your final word?
1486
01:42:58,100 --> 01:42:59,550
- I have nothing more to say.
1487
01:43:03,890 --> 01:43:04,773
- So be it.
1488
01:43:08,330 --> 01:43:10,333
You have heard your King!
1489
01:43:11,590 --> 01:43:12,999
Will you serve him?
1490
01:43:12,999 --> 01:43:13,832
- No!
- No!
1491
01:43:13,832 --> 01:43:16,496
(people shouting)
1492
01:43:16,496 --> 01:43:19,150
- Then we are no longer one nation!
1493
01:43:19,150 --> 01:43:20,513
The prophesy was true.
1494
01:43:22,130 --> 01:43:24,303
The glory of Solomon is gone forever.
1495
01:43:29,860 --> 01:43:32,113
- [Narrator] The prophesy was indeed true.
1496
01:43:33,020 --> 01:43:35,673
Jeroboam ruled the 10 tribes of Israel.
1497
01:43:36,790 --> 01:43:40,353
Only the tribe of Judah
remained loyal to Rehoboam.
1498
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:44,193
But Solomon's prayer was answered.
1499
01:43:45,101 --> 01:43:49,130
For 360 years, the temple
remained a place where God
1500
01:43:49,130 --> 01:43:52,620
and His people would come
together, where He would hearken
1501
01:43:52,620 --> 01:43:55,702
to the prayers of mankind and forgive.
1502
01:43:55,702 --> 01:43:59,369
(majestic orchestral music)
1503
01:44:04,994 --> 01:44:08,911
(mellow choral symphony music)
