1
00:02:22,361 --> 00:02:25,258
Back to work! Back to work!
2
00:02:25,364 --> 00:02:28,293
Who is the idiot who is
stopping the men from working. . .?
3
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:32,929
Rehoboam, my son,
I want you to meet the man
4
00:02:33,032 --> 00:02:36,855
who is in charge of all the building
of this magnificent temple to God.
5
00:02:36,961 --> 00:02:39,509
The finest architect
in the world,
6
00:02:39,613 --> 00:02:41,749
Hiram of Naphtali.
7
00:02:41,849 --> 00:02:43,984
Say,
Rise, Hiram of Naphtali.
8
00:02:44,086 --> 00:02:46,503
Rise,
Hiram of Naphtali.
9
00:02:47,888 --> 00:02:51,265
Accept the apology of the idiot
who stopped your men from working.
10
00:02:51,370 --> 00:02:53,603
Back to work. Back to work,
the idiot is leaving!
11
00:02:53,702 --> 00:02:55,162
( laughter )
12
00:03:02,201 --> 00:03:04,531
I am very sorry,
Your Majesty.
13
00:03:04,629 --> 00:03:06,187
It is I who should apologize.
14
00:03:06,290 --> 00:03:08,110
I was having too much fun.
15
00:03:08,207 --> 00:03:10,092
Kings are not supposed
to have fun.
16
00:03:11,210 --> 00:03:13,573
- All goes well?
- Yes, Your Majesty.
17
00:03:13,671 --> 00:03:15,675
My men work hard
and your people learn fast.
18
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:19,003
In a year or so, I'll be able
to send some of my foremen home,
19
00:03:19,102 --> 00:03:20,921
and they can be replaced
by your men.
20
00:03:21,018 --> 00:03:23,154
- Excellent.
- Some water?
21
00:03:23,256 --> 00:03:24,301
Yes, thank you.
22
00:03:32,648 --> 00:03:35,905
Your Majesty,
may I be permitted a question?
23
00:03:36,002 --> 00:03:37,462
Of course.
24
00:03:37,568 --> 00:03:39,093
This temple,
25
00:03:39,198 --> 00:03:42,706
it will really be for God?
God will live there?
26
00:03:42,807 --> 00:03:44,561
Yes, Hiram,
God will live there.
27
00:03:44,661 --> 00:03:46,893
But can God
live on earth?
28
00:03:48,878 --> 00:03:50,818
That's an interesting question,
Hiram.
29
00:03:52,168 --> 00:03:54,652
Can God live on earth?
30
00:03:54,757 --> 00:03:56,695
Well, even heaven cannot
contain God,
31
00:03:56,802 --> 00:03:59,253
much less this house
that you are building.
32
00:03:59,357 --> 00:04:01,426
But God said,
My name shall be there,
33
00:04:01,530 --> 00:04:05,931
that you may heed the prayer your
servant prays towards this place.
34
00:04:06,035 --> 00:04:09,772
I believe God wants us
to have a place to look towards,
35
00:04:09,869 --> 00:04:12,320
a place where we know
He hears our prayers.
36
00:04:13,926 --> 00:04:15,745
So you must do
your best work, Hiram.
37
00:04:15,842 --> 00:04:17,628
God has said this house
shall stand forever.
38
00:04:17,728 --> 00:04:19,351
- Forever?
- Forever!
39
00:04:19,454 --> 00:04:21,752
I shall try my best,
Your Majesty.
40
00:04:25,683 --> 00:04:28,776
Who will oversee the men of Israel
once your men are departed, Hiram?
41
00:04:28,878 --> 00:04:30,849
Why. . .
I shall, Your Majesty.
42
00:04:30,955 --> 00:04:33,373
The men of Israel don't work well
under foreign leadership.
43
00:04:33,479 --> 00:04:36,093
Don't be offended.
They're a difficult bunch.
44
00:04:36,195 --> 00:04:39,223
You have an Israeli working for you
who's industrious and able?
45
00:04:39,325 --> 00:04:40,436
One you can trust?
46
00:04:41,946 --> 00:04:43,665
Jeroboam.
47
00:04:43,766 --> 00:04:44,780
Jeroboam!
48
00:04:49,708 --> 00:04:50,820
Rise.
49
00:04:52,489 --> 00:04:54,689
Hiram of Naphtali says that
you're clever, hard working
50
00:04:54,788 --> 00:04:56,247
and able to lead men.
51
00:04:57,504 --> 00:05:00,151
- This is true, Hiram?
- It is, Your Majesty.
52
00:05:00,252 --> 00:05:01,809
I'm going to take
his recommendation. . .
53
00:05:01,913 --> 00:05:05,453
and put you in charge of all
of the laborers, starting today.
54
00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:06,863
Yes, Your Majesty.
55
00:05:06,961 --> 00:05:08,650
Make sure they work hard.
56
00:05:11,913 --> 00:05:15,007
This is God's house
you're building.
57
00:05:15,107 --> 00:05:17,243
- The Temple will need musicians. . .
- Yes, my lord.
58
00:05:17,344 --> 00:05:19,316
I want only the best,
the most skilled.
59
00:05:19,421 --> 00:05:21,589
And also the men who
make the instruments. . .
60
00:05:21,689 --> 00:05:24,980
It will also be a school where
all arts and sciences are taught.
61
00:05:26,770 --> 00:05:28,457
My children!
62
00:05:36,866 --> 00:05:38,717
Enough! Enough!
63
00:05:38,814 --> 00:05:41,940
Come and show your father
what you've learned.
64
00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:44,619
Come on.
65
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:50,058
( clapping )
66
00:05:56,769 --> 00:05:58,653
Turn.
67
00:06:15,524 --> 00:06:17,592
Every one of my wives,
68
00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:22,064
every one of them says
that you are an old lizard,
69
00:06:22,168 --> 00:06:24,466
and you're not putting
their child in the front row,
70
00:06:24,564 --> 00:06:26,285
or heeding their child's
particular talent--
71
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:28,422
Silence.
Watch the dance.
72
00:06:33,191 --> 00:06:34,530
Wives. . .
73
00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:37,080
I wish I could
cut some of them in half.
74
00:06:37,184 --> 00:06:39,221
You are a fool
to have so many wives.
75
00:06:39,326 --> 00:06:41,078
I like women, Mother.
76
00:06:41,178 --> 00:06:44,271
Moses said a man shouldn't
acquire many wives,
77
00:06:44,373 --> 00:06:46,345
or else his heart turns away.
78
00:06:46,450 --> 00:06:49,348
But I'm not a man,
I'm a king!
79
00:06:49,452 --> 00:06:51,141
Moses was talking
about a king.
80
00:06:52,456 --> 00:06:54,395
No, keep together!
81
00:06:54,501 --> 00:06:56,603
No, no, no!
The left foot!
82
00:06:56,704 --> 00:06:58,708
I've told you
and told you and told you,
83
00:06:58,813 --> 00:07:02,256
you do not go beyond that circle
before you start to turn!
84
00:07:07,983 --> 00:07:10,434
Oh, no-- Oh!
85
00:07:10,539 --> 00:07:11,999
The queen!
Oh, no!
86
00:07:12,104 --> 00:07:14,882
( laughing )
87
00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:15,993
Mother!
88
00:07:18,238 --> 00:07:19,829
Mother!
89
00:07:30,028 --> 00:07:31,651
David, my love?
90
00:07:33,351 --> 00:07:36,444
No, Mother,
it's your son.
91
00:07:36,546 --> 00:07:37,918
Solomon.
92
00:07:39,931 --> 00:07:41,751
Of course.
93
00:07:43,318 --> 00:07:46,313
My mind is wandering. . .
94
00:07:49,197 --> 00:07:51,234
ahead of my body.
95
00:07:54,053 --> 00:07:55,872
Solomon,
96
00:07:55,969 --> 00:07:58,584
do you remember. . .
97
00:07:58,687 --> 00:08:00,342
the psalm. . .
98
00:08:00,443 --> 00:08:04,812
David wrote
after he sinned with me?
99
00:08:06,130 --> 00:08:08,547
Do good to Zion. . .
100
00:08:08,654 --> 00:08:11,910
in your good pleasure. . .
101
00:08:14,022 --> 00:08:18,042
. . .and rebuild
the walls of Jerusalem.
102
00:08:18,142 --> 00:08:24,560
Then you will delight in
the right sacrifices, burnt offerings.
103
00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:27,884
Then bulls will be offered
on your altar.
104
00:08:29,516 --> 00:08:33,220
Bulls will be offered
on your altar,
105
00:08:34,852 --> 00:08:36,127
Solomon.
106
00:08:44,564 --> 00:08:47,243
( sobbing )
107
00:10:35,436 --> 00:10:36,808
Who's there?
108
00:10:42,146 --> 00:10:43,834
Can I help you, Majesty?
109
00:10:45,724 --> 00:10:47,150
Did you see me fall?
110
00:10:47,258 --> 00:10:50,732
Fall? No, no, of course not,
Your Majesty.
111
00:10:50,836 --> 00:10:53,898
Of course you saw me fall,
but your diplomacy is appreciated.
112
00:10:53,998 --> 00:10:55,458
Who are you?
113
00:10:55,564 --> 00:10:57,503
Jeroboam, Your Majesty.
You appointed me over the. . .
114
00:10:57,609 --> 00:11:00,769
Yes, yes, yes, I remember,
over the laborers.
115
00:11:00,867 --> 00:11:02,175
Come and help me.
116
00:11:04,255 --> 00:11:05,910
Is it permitted?
117
00:11:06,012 --> 00:11:06,937
Of course it isn't.
118
00:11:07,034 --> 00:11:09,005
If the priests catch us,
they'll stone us both.
119
00:11:09,111 --> 00:11:10,930
Now get in here!
120
00:11:16,044 --> 00:11:17,350
Now, come and boost me up.
121
00:11:17,449 --> 00:11:19,617
I want to polish
the eyes of the cherubim.
122
00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:24,983
Jeroboam, if the king wishes
to polish the eyes of the cherubim,
123
00:11:25,085 --> 00:11:28,015
don't question him, help him polish
the eyes of the cherubim.
124
00:11:28,121 --> 00:11:29,744
- Right?
- Yes, of course, Your Majesty.
125
00:11:29,845 --> 00:11:30,892
Come on!
126
00:11:35,341 --> 00:11:38,684
It is one of the duties
of the king. . .
127
00:11:38,791 --> 00:11:41,307
to polish the eyes
of the cherubim.
128
00:11:41,411 --> 00:11:44,057
Give me your arm.
Didn't you know that?
129
00:11:44,159 --> 00:11:46,871
- No, Your Majesty.
- Oh, yes. Solemn duty.
130
00:11:48,088 --> 00:11:51,018
Then why do you have to sneak
past the priests to do it?
131
00:11:51,124 --> 00:11:51,821
Oh-hh!
132
00:11:59,334 --> 00:12:01,719
Your king is crazy,
Jeroboam.
133
00:12:01,826 --> 00:12:03,351
But only you know this.
134
00:12:05,468 --> 00:12:08,365
Guard the secret
with your life.
135
00:12:08,472 --> 00:12:11,631
I'm afraid it's too late, Your Majesty.
The secret's out.
136
00:12:11,729 --> 00:12:13,996
( laughing aloud )
137
00:13:32,114 --> 00:13:36,613
Arise, O Lord.
Let Your enemies be scattered.
138
00:13:36,715 --> 00:13:40,058
Let those that hate Thee
flee from before Thee!
139
00:13:43,551 --> 00:13:46,612
( fanfare )
140
00:14:39,366 --> 00:14:41,273
Praise the Lord,
God of Israel!
141
00:14:43,136 --> 00:14:47,123
He has kept all His promises
made to the king, my father.
142
00:14:47,226 --> 00:14:49,077
And I , in turn,
have kept my vows,
143
00:14:49,174 --> 00:14:52,714
both to God
and to my father.
144
00:14:53,838 --> 00:14:57,575
The people of Israel
have built this Temple,
145
00:14:59,270 --> 00:15:03,355
as a dwelling place
for the God Most High
146
00:15:03,456 --> 00:15:08,532
and as a resting place for this
Holy Ark of the Covenant.
147
00:15:10,037 --> 00:15:14,732
It is fitting that the laws given to
Moses by the Lord God Himself
148
00:15:14,829 --> 00:15:17,607
should be kept forever
in His house.
149
00:15:18,854 --> 00:15:21,371
Grant, Lord God,
150
00:15:21,475 --> 00:15:23,772
that we keep Your laws,
151
00:15:23,870 --> 00:15:26,964
and please You
in all that we do,
152
00:15:27,065 --> 00:15:30,638
both from this day,
and forever more.
153
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,597
I pray You,
154
00:15:34,701 --> 00:15:39,102
look kindly on this place
and make it a house of prayer
155
00:15:41,187 --> 00:15:45,719
for all nations
and all peoples.
156
00:16:13,552 --> 00:16:15,304
( thunder )
157
00:16:36,395 --> 00:16:39,521
( festive music )
158
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:29,630
Why downcast?
159
00:17:29,727 --> 00:17:31,481
On this of all days?
160
00:17:33,401 --> 00:17:35,470
It's not easy to put
into words, Jeroboam.
161
00:17:37,044 --> 00:17:39,593
If Solomon can't,
no one can.
162
00:17:42,060 --> 00:17:44,032
Seven years.
163
00:17:44,136 --> 00:17:46,336
Seven years
with one object,
164
00:17:46,437 --> 00:17:48,257
one ambition, one dream,
165
00:17:49,919 --> 00:17:51,542
and now it is finished.
166
00:17:52,667 --> 00:17:54,606
What else is there
for me to do?
167
00:17:56,437 --> 00:17:58,767
I have not the wisdom
to answer such a question,
168
00:18:02,251 --> 00:18:04,484
but my answer
would be. . .
169
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:06,403
to continue
to serve God.
170
00:18:12,788 --> 00:18:14,444
( music and clapping )
171
00:19:05,861 --> 00:19:07,136
Abishag.
172
00:19:10,367 --> 00:19:11,510
Abishag.
173
00:19:13,178 --> 00:19:14,549
My Lord King!
174
00:19:14,647 --> 00:19:16,074
I don't believe it. . .
175
00:19:16,181 --> 00:19:18,697
Please. I'd rather
no one knew who I was.
176
00:19:20,238 --> 00:19:21,545
How are you?
177
00:19:21,644 --> 00:19:23,463
Well, my lord.
178
00:19:23,561 --> 00:19:25,978
And your parents?
Are they here?
179
00:19:26,085 --> 00:19:27,806
Of course.
180
00:19:27,906 --> 00:19:31,609
The whole world is here.
Nothing would keep my father away.
181
00:19:31,708 --> 00:19:35,052
My husband, my two children,
we are all here.
182
00:19:35,159 --> 00:19:38,253
You are married?
How wonderful.
183
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,956
Would you honor us
with your presence?
184
00:19:42,060 --> 00:19:44,031
Nothing would give me
more pleasure.
185
00:19:44,137 --> 00:19:45,825
Where's your tent?
186
00:19:45,926 --> 00:19:47,069
Here. . .
187
00:19:57,140 --> 00:19:58,892
Oh, these are fine children.
188
00:20:00,271 --> 00:20:01,762
They're a credit
to you both.
189
00:20:04,808 --> 00:20:07,520
I'd love to give them something,
but I brought nothing with me.
190
00:20:07,619 --> 00:20:09,274
Nothing, Great One?
191
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:11,348
Your blessing would be worth
more than gold.
192
00:20:16,724 --> 00:20:18,990
Dear Lord,
bless these children.
193
00:20:19,088 --> 00:20:20,941
Keep them safe
in Your hands.
194
00:20:22,571 --> 00:20:24,771
May you prosper like
your noble grandfather. . .
195
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,017
and may you be as beautiful
and pure in spirit as your mother.
196
00:20:35,222 --> 00:20:36,203
Lovely children.
197
00:20:37,395 --> 00:20:39,432
Go, now.
Go, go, go, go.
198
00:20:42,857 --> 00:20:46,300
Your Majesty,
if I may,
199
00:20:46,405 --> 00:20:48,190
there is one little thing,
200
00:20:49,249 --> 00:20:50,740
Great King,
201
00:20:51,932 --> 00:20:53,936
hardly worth mentioning,
really.
202
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,522
- The pearls I gave you. . .
- Of course! I'm glad you asked.
203
00:21:05,925 --> 00:21:08,288
I had them used as the eyes
of the two great cherubim
204
00:21:08,385 --> 00:21:10,389
that guard the Ark
of the Covenant.
205
00:21:12,762 --> 00:21:14,549
My pearls. . .
206
00:21:15,893 --> 00:21:17,418
are in the Temple?
207
00:21:20,046 --> 00:21:23,489
They look down
on the Ark of God?
208
00:21:23,593 --> 00:21:25,891
For all time,
if God wills it.
209
00:21:28,161 --> 00:21:30,840
Then I have not lived
my life without purpose.
210
00:21:34,009 --> 00:21:36,274
I can go happily
to my grave.
211
00:21:46,756 --> 00:21:49,370
Azarel,
212
00:21:49,471 --> 00:21:51,737
will you do me a favor?
213
00:21:51,835 --> 00:21:53,839
Anything in my power.
214
00:21:54,903 --> 00:21:58,279
Lend me a horse until dawn.
I want to ride out into the desert.
215
00:21:58,385 --> 00:21:59,876
I have only
a donkey outside.
216
00:21:59,983 --> 00:22:02,119
The horses are stabled
some distance away.
217
00:22:02,219 --> 00:22:03,460
A donkey will do.
218
00:22:03,561 --> 00:22:07,036
A donkey?
A king on a donkey?
219
00:22:07,139 --> 00:22:10,450
Kings have ridden on donkeys before,
and I'm sure they will again.
220
00:22:11,676 --> 00:22:14,039
Well, then he is yours,
Magnificence,
221
00:22:14,136 --> 00:22:16,205
for as long as you wish.
Keep him.
222
00:22:18,577 --> 00:22:20,233
Just until dawn.
223
00:22:55,144 --> 00:22:57,823
I have heard your prayer,
Solomon.
224
00:22:58,881 --> 00:23:03,413
I'll grant your wish that I live
in the Temple you have built for Me.
225
00:23:03,515 --> 00:23:07,437
As for you, if you follow My laws,
as did your father, David,
226
00:23:07,540 --> 00:23:10,917
then I will be with you
until the end of your days.
227
00:23:11,022 --> 00:23:15,075
But if you turn away from Me
and serve other gods but Me,
228
00:23:15,175 --> 00:23:20,023
then I will destroy the Temple
that you have built for Me.
229
00:24:02,820 --> 00:24:04,573
Who are you?
230
00:24:05,854 --> 00:24:08,403
What are these
magnificent beasts?
231
00:24:10,231 --> 00:24:12,235
Where are you going?
232
00:24:13,650 --> 00:24:14,859
Hello?
233
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,713
Hello?
May I present myself?
234
00:24:16,813 --> 00:24:18,566
I'm King Solomon,
the King of Israel.
235
00:24:22,755 --> 00:24:25,598
Actually, it's true.
I am the King of Israel.
236
00:24:30,167 --> 00:24:32,019
Where are you going?
237
00:24:32,117 --> 00:24:33,608
To Jerusalem.
238
00:24:33,714 --> 00:24:35,533
Ride ahead
and tell your king
239
00:24:35,630 --> 00:24:37,732
that the Queen of Sheba
is coming.
240
00:24:45,503 --> 00:24:48,116
Thank you.
I'll be sure to tell the king.
241
00:24:54,066 --> 00:24:55,950
( chattering )
242
00:25:00,263 --> 00:25:02,747
( processional music plays )
243
00:25:41,733 --> 00:25:45,044
Jeroboam, do you think
she is beautiful?
244
00:25:45,152 --> 00:25:47,253
I certainly hope so.
You've asked me a hundred times
245
00:25:47,355 --> 00:25:48,782
in the last hour.
246
00:25:53,522 --> 00:25:56,452
( trumpets sound )
247
00:26:45,439 --> 00:26:48,849
I'm King Solomon
of Israel and Judah.
248
00:26:48,953 --> 00:26:52,330
I bid you welcome on behalf
of all of my countrymen.
249
00:26:52,435 --> 00:26:56,172
The fame of King Solomon
has spread like a rising tide,
250
00:26:56,270 --> 00:26:58,883
even as far
as Axum and Saaba.
251
00:26:58,985 --> 00:27:01,315
I have crossed the desert
for many months
252
00:27:01,413 --> 00:27:03,613
to bathe in the ocean
of his wisdom.
253
00:27:05,471 --> 00:27:09,077
And to see his considerable
skills on a donkey.
254
00:27:14,321 --> 00:27:16,967
I am Makida,
Queen of Sheba.
255
00:27:24,449 --> 00:27:26,486
( reeds and drums play softly )
256
00:27:43,202 --> 00:27:45,272
They please you?
257
00:27:45,375 --> 00:27:46,682
Hmm, yes, very much.
258
00:27:46,781 --> 00:27:50,191
We-- we have no tradition here
of dances like these.
259
00:27:58,570 --> 00:27:59,745
But they're beautiful.
260
00:27:59,848 --> 00:28:01,252
They are yours.
261
00:28:01,349 --> 00:28:03,996
- Mine?
- I brought them for you.
262
00:28:12,531 --> 00:28:14,567
A riddle for you,
Your Majesty.
263
00:28:15,790 --> 00:28:18,884
How can you see
through sand?
264
00:28:18,985 --> 00:28:20,390
You mean across sand?
265
00:28:20,487 --> 00:28:24,409
No, through sand, Your Majesty.
These are made from sand.
266
00:28:24,513 --> 00:28:25,819
How?
267
00:28:25,918 --> 00:28:28,761
Heated until it becomes liquid,
then cooled into thin sheets
268
00:28:28,858 --> 00:28:30,796
with air from the lungs.
269
00:28:30,902 --> 00:28:32,306
What is it called?
270
00:28:32,404 --> 00:28:34,540
Glass.
From Phoenicia.
271
00:28:39,975 --> 00:28:41,696
Fabric from I India.
272
00:28:41,796 --> 00:28:43,452
Beautiful!
273
00:28:43,553 --> 00:28:45,078
Precious wood. . .
274
00:28:46,525 --> 00:28:49,488
- also from I India.
- Hmmm, it smells wonderful.
275
00:28:49,592 --> 00:28:52,882
Peaches, oranges, figs,
276
00:28:52,979 --> 00:28:54,765
cheese. . .
277
00:28:54,863 --> 00:28:56,900
lentils, millet. . .
278
00:28:57,004 --> 00:28:58,528
hmmm. . . fine herbs. . .
279
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,015
ah. . . salt
from the Dead Sea. . .
280
00:29:02,116 --> 00:29:04,001
very good
in small amounts.
281
00:29:04,096 --> 00:29:07,440
Deer, roebuck, gazelle,
282
00:29:07,548 --> 00:29:09,845
this is game fowl,
283
00:29:09,943 --> 00:29:11,369
look at those. . .
284
00:29:13,714 --> 00:29:15,369
This. . .
this is my favorite,
285
00:29:16,908 --> 00:29:18,400
fatted goose from Egypt.
286
00:29:18,506 --> 00:29:20,641
Have you ever tasted goose,
Your Majesty?
287
00:29:20,742 --> 00:29:22,147
Never.
288
00:29:30,518 --> 00:29:31,498
Mmm. . .
289
00:29:34,992 --> 00:29:37,737
Oh, you must try this.
290
00:29:38,792 --> 00:29:42,170
This is the sweetest thing
you have ever tasted.
291
00:29:42,276 --> 00:29:43,964
Sugar cane
from the Nile.
292
00:29:50,678 --> 00:29:52,301
Very good.
293
00:29:52,404 --> 00:29:54,637
But not as sweet
as my sugar cane.
294
00:29:54,735 --> 00:29:56,140
You've tasted this before?
295
00:29:56,238 --> 00:29:59,015
My country
is on the Nile.
296
00:29:59,113 --> 00:30:02,011
It is a very long river,
Your Majesty.
297
00:30:03,074 --> 00:30:06,004
We have grown sugar cane
since the beginning of time.
298
00:30:25,598 --> 00:30:27,156
Is this a shrine to Astarte?
299
00:30:27,260 --> 00:30:28,720
It is.
300
00:30:28,825 --> 00:30:31,407
How can this be allowed?
You worship your one God.
301
00:30:31,509 --> 00:30:33,033
We're a trading nation.
302
00:30:33,138 --> 00:30:35,045
Merchants come
from all over the world.
303
00:30:35,151 --> 00:30:37,634
If they couldn't worship their gods,
they'd go somewhere else.
304
00:30:37,739 --> 00:30:41,475
How strange. . .
to put trade before faith.
305
00:30:42,531 --> 00:30:44,416
Now you sound
like my priests!
306
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:01,982
Something is wrong
with the fruit?
307
00:31:02,084 --> 00:31:05,210
Nothing.
Just an ant.
308
00:31:05,311 --> 00:31:07,162
Just an ant?
309
00:31:07,260 --> 00:31:09,525
You should consider them.
310
00:31:09,624 --> 00:31:11,312
I've learned much
from watching ants.
311
00:31:12,978 --> 00:31:14,470
You watch the ants?
312
00:31:14,576 --> 00:31:16,395
Oh, yes,
it's fascinating!
313
00:31:16,493 --> 00:31:18,595
We think the lion
the king among beasts,
314
00:31:18,698 --> 00:31:20,995
but what does he do?
He finds his lair,
315
00:31:21,094 --> 00:31:23,131
he does not build it.
316
00:31:23,234 --> 00:31:26,676
And he would rather sleep
while his lioness does the hunting.
317
00:31:26,780 --> 00:31:30,004
But the ant builds
his own city.
318
00:31:30,103 --> 00:31:32,685
They have their ruler,
their soldiers
319
00:31:32,787 --> 00:31:35,815
and they all work together
for the common good.
320
00:31:35,918 --> 00:31:38,597
Oh, we would do well
to study the ants.
321
00:31:45,725 --> 00:31:47,795
But I wish they'd find
their own food!
322
00:31:51,317 --> 00:31:53,288
Joseph taught us all
323
00:31:53,393 --> 00:31:55,757
that forgiveness
is God's way.
324
00:31:56,812 --> 00:31:59,524
Even if you have been wronged,
325
00:31:59,624 --> 00:32:01,312
you must look to God,
326
00:32:01,413 --> 00:32:03,798
to know what He would
have you do, hmm?
327
00:32:06,630 --> 00:32:09,724
Now, who remembers
the fourth commandment?
328
00:32:11,837 --> 00:32:13,722
Ready. . . begin!
329
00:32:13,818 --> 00:32:17,642
Honor your father and mother,
so that your days may be long
330
00:32:17,748 --> 00:32:21,059
in the land that the Lord
your God has given you.
331
00:32:24,617 --> 00:32:25,728
Sisi. . .
332
00:32:25,831 --> 00:32:28,445
Oh, Baladona,
333
00:32:28,547 --> 00:32:29,723
Hezezia,
334
00:32:29,825 --> 00:32:31,611
Lezia,
335
00:32:31,710 --> 00:32:32,722
Johanan. . .
336
00:32:38,834 --> 00:32:40,588
Do you know them all
by name?
337
00:32:40,688 --> 00:32:43,106
If I forget, their mothers
soon remind me.
338
00:32:44,553 --> 00:32:47,647
And they all worship your God
even though their mothers do not?
339
00:32:47,748 --> 00:32:49,633
Yes, especially my sons.
340
00:32:49,729 --> 00:32:51,929
One day,
I must choose a successor.
341
00:32:52,029 --> 00:32:53,239
Not the eldest?
342
00:32:53,339 --> 00:32:54,548
That's not our law.
343
00:32:54,649 --> 00:32:57,067
I was not the eldest
and my father chose me.
344
00:32:57,174 --> 00:32:59,754
And I am certain that
he made the right choice.
345
00:32:59,857 --> 00:33:02,439
He loved my mother,
above all his other wives.
346
00:33:03,787 --> 00:33:06,914
So love
made you a king.
347
00:33:07,013 --> 00:33:09,214
Well, there are worse ways
of choosing.
348
00:33:09,314 --> 00:33:12,538
A king's heart is a stream
of water in the hands of the Lord.
349
00:33:12,636 --> 00:33:14,521
He turns it
wherever He will.
350
00:33:16,886 --> 00:33:18,312
( restless grumbling )
351
00:33:28,387 --> 00:33:30,805
The waters
do not belong to you.
352
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,028
Neither do they belong
to you.
353
00:33:38,132 --> 00:33:40,681
They belong to God.
354
00:33:40,783 --> 00:33:43,680
Do I lay claim to the air
you are breathing now?
355
00:33:43,787 --> 00:33:46,303
Is it mine since
it is within my chamber?
356
00:33:47,653 --> 00:33:52,021
You will both lose your share
of the water for one month.
357
00:33:52,124 --> 00:33:55,665
You will not be allowed
to use the water for any purpose.
358
00:33:57,109 --> 00:34:00,682
Perhaps this will remind you to thank
God for what he has given you.
359
00:34:12,190 --> 00:34:13,528
Next case.
360
00:34:15,607 --> 00:34:20,586
The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of knowledge.
361
00:34:23,307 --> 00:34:25,376
Keep the Lord's commandments
and teachings
362
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,614
as the apple of your eye.
363
00:34:29,409 --> 00:34:32,720
Train your children well
so when old they will not fail you.
364
00:34:36,981 --> 00:34:40,521
And he who loves discipline,
loves knowledge.
365
00:34:40,623 --> 00:34:44,001
He who hates to be rebuked
is stupid.
366
00:34:45,064 --> 00:34:47,743
Also, those who belittle
another lack sense.
367
00:34:50,208 --> 00:34:52,506
And the righteous know
the needs of their animals.
368
00:34:52,603 --> 00:34:54,543
Only the wicked
are cruel.
369
00:34:57,556 --> 00:34:59,974
A soft answer
turns away wrath.
370
00:35:01,518 --> 00:35:03,849
The beginning of strife
is like a leak of water,
371
00:35:03,946 --> 00:35:06,212
so stop before
the argument begins.
372
00:35:13,339 --> 00:35:15,636
And remember,
373
00:35:15,735 --> 00:35:18,448
the wise man remains silent,
374
00:35:18,546 --> 00:35:22,631
so even fools who keep quiet
can be considered wise!
375
00:35:26,757 --> 00:35:28,827
( laughter and applause )
376
00:35:43,691 --> 00:35:45,510
I have another riddle
for you.
377
00:35:46,757 --> 00:35:49,818
What are the eight things
that the Lord hates the most?
378
00:35:51,263 --> 00:35:53,843
Hmm. . .
Let me see. . .
379
00:35:54,937 --> 00:35:56,560
Hate. . .
380
00:35:56,662 --> 00:35:58,993
deceit,
381
00:35:59,090 --> 00:36:00,811
hypocrisy?
382
00:36:03,211 --> 00:36:04,486
Haughty eyes.
383
00:36:07,588 --> 00:36:08,535
Two.
384
00:36:09,921 --> 00:36:11,805
A lying tongue.
Three.
385
00:36:15,863 --> 00:36:18,793
Hands that shed
innocent blood.
386
00:36:18,898 --> 00:36:20,358
Five.
387
00:36:23,083 --> 00:36:25,861
A heart that devises
wicked plans.
388
00:36:25,959 --> 00:36:26,972
Six.
389
00:36:34,106 --> 00:36:36,240
And feet that run
towards evil.
390
00:36:36,342 --> 00:36:37,649
Eight.
391
00:36:38,802 --> 00:36:40,686
The report that I heard. . .
392
00:36:40,783 --> 00:36:43,113
in my own land
of your accomplishments
393
00:36:43,211 --> 00:36:44,867
and of your wisdom was true.
394
00:36:47,397 --> 00:36:49,662
Not even half
has been told to me.
395
00:36:50,750 --> 00:36:54,802
Blessed be the Lord your God,
Who has delighted in you
396
00:36:54,904 --> 00:36:58,248
and set you upon
the throne of Israel.
397
00:36:58,355 --> 00:37:02,472
And the reports of your beauty and
grace fall far short of the truth.
398
00:37:10,623 --> 00:37:12,920
Did you swim as a boy?
399
00:37:13,019 --> 00:37:14,839
Yes, of course.
400
00:37:14,936 --> 00:37:18,607
Do you still swim
now that you're king?
401
00:37:18,706 --> 00:37:20,110
- Sadly, never.
- Hmm.
402
00:37:21,646 --> 00:37:23,137
Time again.
403
00:38:37,396 --> 00:38:40,261
I called upon God. . .
404
00:38:40,367 --> 00:38:42,633
and the spirit of wisdom
came to me.
405
00:38:43,690 --> 00:38:46,240
But in you there is
an understanding,
406
00:38:46,342 --> 00:38:47,681
clear. . .
407
00:38:48,930 --> 00:38:51,675
undefiled, plain,
408
00:38:51,773 --> 00:38:54,070
loving the thing
that is good.
409
00:38:55,192 --> 00:38:58,318
You see
as only a woman can.
410
00:38:58,419 --> 00:39:00,456
A mirror
to God's goodness.
411
00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:04,606
You are the queen
to my king.
412
00:39:06,885 --> 00:39:10,012
I've sought you ever since
I was a youth,
413
00:39:10,112 --> 00:39:12,279
without knowing
what it was I was seeking.
414
00:39:14,010 --> 00:39:16,112
Solomon. . .
415
00:39:16,214 --> 00:39:18,665
more than anything else
in the world,
416
00:39:18,770 --> 00:39:20,458
I want to bear you a son.
417
00:39:23,275 --> 00:39:25,214
Then our minds are as one.
418
00:39:27,268 --> 00:39:30,907
More than anything else
in the world, I want to marry you.
419
00:39:31,007 --> 00:39:33,370
Do you imagine that
I haven't thought about it?
420
00:39:35,032 --> 00:39:37,004
Would you give up
your kingdom for me?
421
00:39:38,738 --> 00:39:40,557
Israel is more than
a kingdom.
422
00:39:42,413 --> 00:39:44,166
It is a Faith.
423
00:39:45,319 --> 00:39:48,184
It has been called
by God to do great things.
424
00:39:48,291 --> 00:39:51,417
Yes, I have come
to realize that.
425
00:39:54,713 --> 00:39:56,237
Isn't the position
already. . .
426
00:39:58,483 --> 00:40:00,040
rather crowded?
427
00:40:00,144 --> 00:40:01,450
They are nothing.
428
00:40:02,508 --> 00:40:04,261
You are everything.
429
00:40:05,127 --> 00:40:08,831
Solomon, I cannot abandon
my people forever.
430
00:40:08,930 --> 00:40:11,032
A crown is like. . .
431
00:40:11,134 --> 00:40:15,186
a seam of gold.
There are always those who seek it.
432
00:40:15,288 --> 00:40:18,762
One day,
I will have to return.
433
00:40:18,866 --> 00:40:21,001
But a boy from you. . .
434
00:40:21,103 --> 00:40:23,303
that promises us
a whole year together.
435
00:40:25,064 --> 00:40:27,133
You shall have your year.
436
00:40:28,929 --> 00:40:31,227
And I will. . .
437
00:40:31,326 --> 00:40:32,883
be your wife.
438
00:40:35,990 --> 00:40:37,296
Yes. . .
439
00:40:37,396 --> 00:40:38,801
I will.
440
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,549
( applause )
441
00:42:18,290 --> 00:42:21,188
Oh, my love!
442
00:42:21,293 --> 00:42:23,657
How much better are
your kisses than wine.
443
00:42:42,556 --> 00:42:43,895
My lord!
444
00:42:43,993 --> 00:42:46,770
Not now, Jeroboam.
I'm late to meet my queen.
445
00:42:46,868 --> 00:42:48,557
They sent me
to speak for them.
446
00:42:48,657 --> 00:42:49,769
Who sent you?
447
00:42:49,871 --> 00:42:51,756
The elders,
the officers of the court.
448
00:42:51,853 --> 00:42:54,815
They say we are friends.
They say you will listen to me.
449
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,817
Very well. What is it?
450
00:42:57,923 --> 00:42:58,968
Say it!
451
00:43:00,575 --> 00:43:03,287
The ship of state needs
someone at the steering oar.
452
00:43:06,101 --> 00:43:09,479
What does that mean,
Jeroboam?
453
00:43:09,584 --> 00:43:11,915
There are matters
which demand your attention. . .
454
00:43:12,013 --> 00:43:14,081
other than
the Queen of Sheba's thighs.
455
00:43:15,527 --> 00:43:17,182
How dare you?!
456
00:43:17,283 --> 00:43:19,168
No one speaks to me
like that!
457
00:43:19,265 --> 00:43:21,944
Get out! Get out!
458
00:43:26,325 --> 00:43:27,665
Jeroboam!
459
00:43:40,511 --> 00:43:43,124
I apologize.
460
00:43:43,226 --> 00:43:46,036
It is too easy for a king
to avoid criticism.
461
00:43:47,571 --> 00:43:49,608
Say your speech.
462
00:43:51,086 --> 00:43:55,170
Taxes. . . forced labor.
463
00:43:55,270 --> 00:43:58,266
The people would endure it
while the Temple was being built.
464
00:43:58,370 --> 00:44:01,300
The Temple is finished.
The taxes should also cease.
465
00:44:01,405 --> 00:44:03,790
You should show yourself
in the provinces.
466
00:44:03,897 --> 00:44:06,413
Popularity is a fickle thing.
It could leave you.
467
00:44:06,516 --> 00:44:10,285
And finally, your crown depends
on the love of the people.
468
00:44:10,383 --> 00:44:12,355
And, may I add,
on the love of God.
469
00:44:12,460 --> 00:44:15,303
You have served Him
well in the past,
470
00:44:15,398 --> 00:44:18,557
but is that a surety for now,
for the future?
471
00:44:20,734 --> 00:44:23,000
Jeroboam, listen to me,
472
00:44:23,098 --> 00:44:25,267
and listen to me carefully.
473
00:44:26,964 --> 00:44:30,025
I love her,
474
00:44:30,127 --> 00:44:34,495
above duty, above health.
475
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,042
I choose her over light.
476
00:44:39,201 --> 00:44:43,188
Because the light that radiates
from her never dims.
477
00:44:43,290 --> 00:44:46,352
She is my missing arm,
no--
478
00:44:46,453 --> 00:44:48,904
she's my entire body.
479
00:44:50,606 --> 00:44:53,765
She's what I've always wanted
without ever knowing my wants.
480
00:44:56,900 --> 00:44:58,807
She is the breath of God.
481
00:45:00,831 --> 00:45:02,355
Solomon--
482
00:45:02,460 --> 00:45:03,952
she's a woman.
483
00:45:05,749 --> 00:45:07,536
Exactly.
484
00:45:10,670 --> 00:45:13,122
Oh, oh, feel. . .
485
00:45:20,830 --> 00:45:23,281
It's a boy. . .
486
00:45:23,386 --> 00:45:25,804
I am sure,
the way he kicks-- ooh!
487
00:45:27,156 --> 00:45:29,257
he will be
a great athlete.
488
00:45:32,842 --> 00:45:35,260
My love,
489
00:45:35,367 --> 00:45:38,939
I have something to ask you,
but I am at a loss for words.
490
00:45:39,041 --> 00:45:40,947
You?
491
00:45:41,053 --> 00:45:43,798
The wisest of the wise?
Ask.
492
00:45:46,677 --> 00:45:51,371
If it is a boy,
I want him to be my heir,
493
00:45:51,469 --> 00:45:53,767
King of Israel and Judah.
494
00:45:53,864 --> 00:45:55,520
But. . .
495
00:45:55,623 --> 00:45:58,585
you've promised it
to Rehoboam.
496
00:45:58,689 --> 00:46:00,062
He is to be your heir.
497
00:46:00,159 --> 00:46:02,576
Unless I decide otherwise.
498
00:46:02,683 --> 00:46:03,859
And I do.
499
00:46:06,581 --> 00:46:08,487
Stay here with me.
500
00:46:08,594 --> 00:46:12,842
We will raise
a mighty King, strong, wise,
501
00:46:12,938 --> 00:46:14,822
whose voice will be heard
throughout the land,
502
00:46:14,919 --> 00:46:18,176
proclaiming
the righteousness of the Lord.
503
00:46:43,578 --> 00:46:45,712
( baby cries )
504
00:47:02,874 --> 00:47:05,172
I knew it!
505
00:47:05,271 --> 00:47:09,159
A boy! A boy!
506
00:47:09,264 --> 00:47:10,887
A king!
507
00:47:12,300 --> 00:47:15,524
I shall call you Menelik,
the Chosen One.
508
00:47:19,072 --> 00:47:21,207
Thank you, God!
Thank you!
509
00:47:25,271 --> 00:47:26,894
( laughing )
510
00:47:30,263 --> 00:47:32,650
No!
It is out of the question!
511
00:47:32,756 --> 00:47:36,100
It's outrageous that you could
even contemplate such an act.
512
00:47:36,207 --> 00:47:39,747
The throne is mine! I have a right
to choose my successor!
513
00:47:39,849 --> 00:47:41,188
No!
The choice is not yours!
514
00:47:41,287 --> 00:47:44,925
It must be ratified by God through
the High Priest and the Council!
515
00:47:45,025 --> 00:47:47,606
King David chose me
above all his sons,
516
00:47:47,709 --> 00:47:50,999
- younger or older!
- He chose you, yes!
517
00:47:51,095 --> 00:47:54,253
But you were not made king until
anointed by the High Priest Zadok.
518
00:47:54,354 --> 00:47:57,164
Then and only then
you became king. True?
519
00:47:57,260 --> 00:48:00,703
Yes, yes, I went through
the usual formalities. . .
520
00:48:00,808 --> 00:48:02,299
Usual formalities ?
521
00:48:02,405 --> 00:48:04,823
You make one of the most
sacred acts of our faith. . .
522
00:48:04,928 --> 00:48:06,748
sound like a blessing
before dinner!
523
00:48:06,846 --> 00:48:08,501
She is not of our faith!
524
00:48:08,602 --> 00:48:10,258
I don't know
who she worships,
525
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,267
but it is not
the one true God.
526
00:48:12,373 --> 00:48:14,987
She wishes
to embrace our faith.
527
00:48:15,088 --> 00:48:16,581
You know the law.
528
00:48:16,685 --> 00:48:19,267
She must be one of us!
529
00:48:19,370 --> 00:48:21,951
Raised and born
in fear of the living God!
530
00:48:34,928 --> 00:48:37,924
My friend,
force your will on this. . .
531
00:48:38,027 --> 00:48:40,326
and you will lose
your crown.
532
00:48:43,939 --> 00:48:45,975
There would be a revolution.
533
00:48:54,897 --> 00:48:56,008
Well?
534
00:49:01,542 --> 00:49:04,733
The King,
may he live forever,
535
00:49:04,833 --> 00:49:06,292
knows the law.
536
00:49:07,357 --> 00:49:11,060
Neither I ,
nor any priest in Israel
537
00:49:11,158 --> 00:49:14,949
would dare anoint the son
of the Queen of Sheba as heir.
538
00:49:15,056 --> 00:49:17,257
That is the Holy Law,
539
00:49:17,357 --> 00:49:20,351
and even kings
must live and die by it.
540
00:49:23,555 --> 00:49:25,308
That is your final word?
541
00:49:25,408 --> 00:49:27,260
It is the Holy Law.
542
00:50:00,679 --> 00:50:02,107
Don't ask.
543
00:50:02,212 --> 00:50:04,217
Please.
Please stay.
544
00:50:04,321 --> 00:50:06,620
- To join your 7 00 wives?
- Never!
545
00:50:06,717 --> 00:50:09,779
I am the queen of my country.
My son is the heir.
546
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,723
I have been blinded
by my love for you,
547
00:50:12,820 --> 00:50:15,717
but now they have let me see.
548
00:50:15,823 --> 00:50:17,925
At first, I was a curiosity.
549
00:50:18,028 --> 00:50:20,097
- Now I am a hated stranger.
- Never hated!
550
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:22,586
You can rule your people,
Solomon,
551
00:50:22,692 --> 00:50:24,892
but you cannot command them
to love me. . .
552
00:50:27,388 --> 00:50:29,208
or our son.
553
00:50:58,954 --> 00:51:01,252
This city will be
a tomb without you.
554
00:51:04,001 --> 00:51:06,485
It was never possible,
Solomon.
555
00:51:07,740 --> 00:51:09,395
Never.
556
00:51:10,552 --> 00:51:12,850
But I only began to live. . .
557
00:51:12,947 --> 00:51:15,626
the day that I saw you
on that donkey.
558
00:51:18,059 --> 00:51:21,283
I am King Solomon.
Who are you?
559
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,751
I am the woman who
will love you forever.
560
00:51:33,330 --> 00:51:37,187
Our son,
our son will have a crown.
561
00:51:37,293 --> 00:51:39,427
He will rule my kingdom.
562
00:51:43,850 --> 00:51:45,026
And, Solomon,
563
00:51:45,128 --> 00:51:50,782
I want him to rule under your God,
Whom I intend to make mine.
564
00:51:52,093 --> 00:51:53,171
When I leave,
565
00:51:53,275 --> 00:51:57,294
I would like to take some men
learned in your faith. . .
566
00:51:57,396 --> 00:51:59,117
to instruct our son.
567
00:52:00,304 --> 00:52:02,308
I will do better than that,
568
00:52:02,413 --> 00:52:05,506
since he is to be denied
his right to rule here.
569
00:52:07,908 --> 00:52:10,140
You and I will build
a new Jerusalem,
570
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:12,375
a new Israel in your land.
571
00:52:12,477 --> 00:52:15,320
I will send the priests,
architects,
572
00:52:15,415 --> 00:52:17,714
and settlers and soldiers,
573
00:52:17,812 --> 00:52:21,548
and riches enough for him
to rule in splendor.
574
00:52:21,646 --> 00:52:23,715
Then I will give him
another name.
575
00:52:25,543 --> 00:52:29,530
I will call him David,
in honor of your father.
576
00:52:47,716 --> 00:52:49,851
Drop your arms
from around me.
577
00:52:49,953 --> 00:52:52,251
No, I cannot,
I cannot.
578
00:52:52,349 --> 00:52:53,939
You must.
579
00:52:54,042 --> 00:52:56,406
You must do this for me,
or I can never leave.
580
00:52:56,502 --> 00:52:58,800
I cannot, I cannot.
581
00:52:58,897 --> 00:53:01,282
You are the king.
582
00:53:01,390 --> 00:53:03,874
You must do
what God has ordained.
583
00:53:03,978 --> 00:53:06,145
You must give your life
to your country.
584
00:53:08,035 --> 00:53:10,398
You are my life.
585
00:53:10,495 --> 00:53:14,450
And Israel is your country.
She must come first.
586
00:53:20,911 --> 00:53:24,549
Drop your arms
from around me. . .
587
00:53:24,649 --> 00:53:26,337
and let me go.
588
00:54:13,382 --> 00:54:15,866
Look at them. More gold!
589
00:54:15,971 --> 00:54:18,073
Six hundred talents of gold,
I've heard tell.
590
00:54:18,175 --> 00:54:19,155
Six hundred?!
591
00:54:19,262 --> 00:54:22,191
That is a whole year of taxes
for the entire country!
592
00:54:22,296 --> 00:54:23,984
He's gone mad!
593
00:54:24,086 --> 00:54:25,742
You never know
what a man will do
594
00:54:25,842 --> 00:54:27,749
when he starts thinking
with his groin.
595
00:54:27,855 --> 00:54:28,901
Look at them!
596
00:54:29,006 --> 00:54:31,489
Our finest citizens,
commanded to relocate.
597
00:54:31,593 --> 00:54:34,338
I don't pay taxes to pour
into some hole in Africa!
598
00:54:34,437 --> 00:54:36,507
Why are we still
paying these taxes?
599
00:54:36,610 --> 00:54:38,549
I thought once
the Temple was built. . .
600
00:54:38,655 --> 00:54:40,374
That's why!
601
00:54:57,696 --> 00:55:00,473
What is this?
602
00:55:00,571 --> 00:55:01,944
Gold cups!
603
00:55:02,041 --> 00:55:03,859
I want nothing but gold!
604
00:55:21,689 --> 00:55:23,029
Ahh. . .
605
00:55:24,340 --> 00:55:25,768
gold.
606
00:55:26,609 --> 00:55:28,613
Good.
607
00:55:31,434 --> 00:55:33,852
Do you know why
it is good, Jeroboam?
608
00:55:33,957 --> 00:55:37,335
Because one man goes deep
into the earth to dig it up,
609
00:55:37,441 --> 00:55:42,004
another man melts it
to make it pure,
610
00:55:42,104 --> 00:55:43,957
another shapes it
into a cup,
611
00:55:44,053 --> 00:55:46,864
and another etches
a beautiful design upon it.
612
00:55:46,961 --> 00:55:47,887
Why?
613
00:55:48,942 --> 00:55:52,198
So the king can have
the very best. That is why.
614
00:55:52,999 --> 00:55:55,068
All is vanity.
615
00:55:56,992 --> 00:55:57,940
Solomon--
616
00:55:58,047 --> 00:56:00,116
All things are wearisome,
Jeroboam,
617
00:56:00,219 --> 00:56:02,256
more than one can express.
618
00:56:04,340 --> 00:56:06,410
The eye is not satisfied
with the seeing,
619
00:56:06,513 --> 00:56:08,397
the ear is not filled
with the hearing.
620
00:56:08,494 --> 00:56:11,359
Yet, there is nothing new
under the sun.
621
00:56:11,465 --> 00:56:12,163
Solomon!
622
00:56:12,263 --> 00:56:17,177
I applied my mind
to seek and search out wisdom
623
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:21,049
and it is an unhappy business
that God has given human beings,
624
00:56:21,145 --> 00:56:22,736
for all is vanity.
625
00:56:22,839 --> 00:56:25,137
You have acquired
much wisdom, Solomon.
626
00:56:25,235 --> 00:56:27,174
Much wisdom
is much vexation!
627
00:56:29,389 --> 00:56:31,621
Those who increase in knowledge
increase in sorrow.
628
00:56:31,721 --> 00:56:33,955
That is not true.
629
00:56:34,053 --> 00:56:37,593
No? I said to myself,
Come, Solomon,
630
00:56:37,695 --> 00:56:40,625
make a test of pleasure,
enjoy yourself.
631
00:56:42,136 --> 00:56:45,840
I searched with my mind
how to. . .
632
00:56:45,939 --> 00:56:48,901
how to cheer my body
so that I might see. . .
633
00:56:49,005 --> 00:56:51,368
what it was that mortals
should do under heaven
634
00:56:51,465 --> 00:56:53,469
in the few days
of their lives.
635
00:56:54,916 --> 00:56:56,823
Vanity!
636
00:56:58,654 --> 00:57:00,375
I made great works.
637
00:57:00,476 --> 00:57:04,331
I have great possessions,
delights of the flesh--
638
00:57:04,437 --> 00:57:07,367
whatever my eye desires,
I did not keep from them.
639
00:57:09,357 --> 00:57:10,816
Vanity!
640
00:57:10,923 --> 00:57:13,504
Solomon, you are a king
to your people.
641
00:57:13,605 --> 00:57:16,700
What happens to the fool
will also happen to the king.
642
00:57:18,079 --> 00:57:21,651
All come from dust,
to dust all shall return.
643
00:57:22,391 --> 00:57:25,354
Why, then, do I have
to be so wise?
644
00:57:26,737 --> 00:57:28,141
Vanity.
645
00:57:28,238 --> 00:57:31,462
You gave us the Temple.
Solomon--
646
00:57:31,561 --> 00:57:34,012
The Temple I must leave
to those who come after.
647
00:57:34,117 --> 00:57:36,634
Who knows whether
they will be wise or foolish?
648
00:57:36,737 --> 00:57:40,441
It is not for them,
it is for me. Vanity!
649
00:57:51,881 --> 00:57:55,966
Jeroboam, what do mortals get
from all the toil and strain?
650
00:57:56,066 --> 00:57:58,909
All our days
are full of pain.
651
00:57:59,005 --> 00:58:01,172
Even at night,
our minds do not rest.
652
00:58:01,273 --> 00:58:03,277
This is also vanity.
653
00:58:03,383 --> 00:58:04,874
It is God's will.
654
00:58:04,980 --> 00:58:07,310
Oh, God's will!
655
00:58:09,196 --> 00:58:12,258
Every time a question is asked
that cannot be answered,
656
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,761
someone always says,
It is God's will!
657
00:58:16,864 --> 00:58:18,618
I believe God's will
is already written.
658
00:58:18,718 --> 00:58:20,602
Man has nothing
to do with it.
659
00:58:22,583 --> 00:58:24,849
There is a season
for everything,
660
00:58:24,947 --> 00:58:28,325
and a time for every purpose
under the heavens--
661
00:58:28,430 --> 00:58:30,598
all God's iron will.
662
00:58:31,657 --> 00:58:33,661
A time to be born,
a time to die,
663
00:58:33,765 --> 00:58:35,388
a time to kill,
a time to heal,
664
00:58:35,491 --> 00:58:37,211
a time to weep,
a time to laugh,
665
00:58:37,312 --> 00:58:39,381
a time to dance. . .
666
00:58:39,484 --> 00:58:41,173
a time to mourn.
667
00:58:43,574 --> 00:58:45,937
God's will?
668
00:58:46,034 --> 00:58:49,290
Business that God has given
to everyone just. . .
669
00:58:49,389 --> 00:58:51,687
just to keep them busy!
670
00:58:52,743 --> 00:58:55,673
But we cannot know God.
671
00:58:55,779 --> 00:58:59,766
We cannot find out what God has
done from the beginning to the end.
672
00:58:59,868 --> 00:59:03,724
Because what is,
already has been,
673
00:59:03,829 --> 00:59:06,377
and what is to be,
already is.
674
00:59:08,207 --> 00:59:10,789
Vanity is all there is.
675
00:59:10,889 --> 00:59:13,090
The more words,
the more vanity.
676
00:59:17,632 --> 00:59:21,074
The race is not to the swift,
nor the battle to the strong,
677
00:59:21,178 --> 00:59:24,915
nor bread to the wise,
nor riches to the intelligent,
678
00:59:25,971 --> 00:59:28,933
but time and chance
happen to them all.
679
00:59:30,028 --> 00:59:31,716
Mere chance.
680
00:59:31,817 --> 00:59:34,496
Belief otherwise is vanity.
681
00:59:34,596 --> 00:59:36,633
I believe in God.
682
00:59:54,565 --> 00:59:57,375
Jeroboam, remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
683
00:59:57,472 --> 01:00:00,434
before the days
of troubles come,
684
01:00:00,538 --> 01:00:03,697
for the years draw near,
faster than you think,
685
01:00:03,798 --> 01:00:05,486
when you will say,
686
01:00:08,461 --> 01:00:12,230
I have no pleasure.
687
01:00:17,152 --> 01:00:19,766
When strong men are bent,
688
01:00:19,867 --> 01:00:22,580
the golden bowl is broken,
689
01:00:22,679 --> 01:00:25,642
and the breath returns
to God Who gave it.
690
01:00:31,401 --> 01:00:34,211
Vanity of vanities.
691
01:00:40,890 --> 01:00:42,861
All is vanity.
692
01:00:49,197 --> 01:00:51,397
The king is here.
He's here.
693
01:00:53,254 --> 01:00:54,626
Quickly.
694
01:00:56,641 --> 01:00:58,743
Welcome,
my husband and King.
695
01:01:04,116 --> 01:01:08,582
Is the great goddess Ashtoreth
answering your prayers?
696
01:01:08,685 --> 01:01:10,569
She doesn't have
to answer our prayers.
697
01:01:11,666 --> 01:01:15,076
She grants us children and cares
for our loved ones in the afterlife.
698
01:01:15,180 --> 01:01:17,152
They shine down on us
each night.
699
01:01:17,257 --> 01:01:19,871
Make an offering
to the Mother of us all.
700
01:01:19,973 --> 01:01:23,415
No, no, no,
I worship the one true God.
701
01:01:23,519 --> 01:01:29,042
Make an offering for the Mother
of true love and your children,
702
01:01:29,143 --> 01:01:32,073
for the love
you have shown me.
703
01:02:27,768 --> 01:02:30,959
I am deeply divided
within myself.
704
01:02:32,497 --> 01:02:35,558
Solomon is my anointed king,
705
01:02:35,660 --> 01:02:38,622
but I worship the true God,
706
01:02:38,726 --> 01:02:42,583
and He will be
my judge at my life's end.
707
01:02:42,688 --> 01:02:44,628
That is why
I have come.
708
01:02:44,733 --> 01:02:47,096
I have seen
with my own eyes
709
01:02:47,193 --> 01:02:51,147
our king worshipping
this pagan goddess.
710
01:02:51,251 --> 01:02:54,028
Jeroboam, you are not the first
to tell us of these things.
711
01:02:57,353 --> 01:02:59,259
There has been
another ambush.
712
01:02:59,366 --> 01:03:02,656
I know,
the taxes from Ephrian.
713
01:03:02,753 --> 01:03:04,026
Who stole them?
714
01:03:04,126 --> 01:03:07,252
Probably by the very men
who paid those taxes.
715
01:03:07,353 --> 01:03:10,959
Zadok, men are starving.
Their families are starving.
716
01:03:11,059 --> 01:03:13,161
They spit the king's name.
717
01:03:13,264 --> 01:03:15,050
Oh, Solomon!
718
01:03:16,235 --> 01:03:20,734
We must convince him
to lift their burden.
719
01:03:20,836 --> 01:03:23,701
I will have an audience
with him.
720
01:03:23,807 --> 01:03:25,049
Meanwhile,
721
01:03:25,148 --> 01:03:27,861
keep good watch on him,
722
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:30,225
for his own sake. . .
723
01:03:30,324 --> 01:03:32,741
and for the whole kingdom.
724
01:03:41,512 --> 01:03:43,897
. . .who rules
over the universe,
725
01:03:44,005 --> 01:03:47,545
without you,
the river will not open.
726
01:03:47,646 --> 01:03:51,057
Merciful lady,
hear us.
727
01:03:51,161 --> 01:03:54,604
Oh, mother
of the fruitful breast. . .
728
01:03:54,708 --> 01:03:57,386
who rules
over the universe,
729
01:03:57,487 --> 01:04:00,265
without you,
the river will not open. . .
730
01:04:02,546 --> 01:04:05,476
It is written that
the children of Israel
731
01:04:05,581 --> 01:04:09,569
should beware of marrying
outside the faith.
732
01:04:09,671 --> 01:04:15,030
For those women will turn your heart
away from the one true God.
733
01:04:15,582 --> 01:04:18,643
Much is written.
Little is understood.
734
01:04:19,734 --> 01:04:22,577
You give sacrifices to gods
that all true believers
735
01:04:22,674 --> 01:04:25,125
know to be obscene
and wicked.
736
01:04:26,316 --> 01:04:27,907
Great Solomon,
737
01:04:28,009 --> 01:04:31,931
if you persist
in your worship of false gods,
738
01:04:32,035 --> 01:04:35,542
you will bring God's anger
on your own head
739
01:04:35,645 --> 01:04:38,771
and onto all this land
of Israel and Judah.
740
01:04:38,872 --> 01:04:41,835
I study the world!
741
01:04:41,939 --> 01:04:46,024
It is possible to learn
from the false as well as the true!
742
01:04:46,124 --> 01:04:50,972
God has given me the gift of wisdom
and I shall use it as I see fit!
743
01:04:55,326 --> 01:04:59,280
Now you stick to the tasks that God
and I have given you, Zadok,
744
01:05:02,195 --> 01:05:04,712
and I will stick to mine.
745
01:05:11,013 --> 01:05:13,376
Self-righteous fools!
746
01:05:14,814 --> 01:05:17,330
They know the law and
they know you are breaking it.
747
01:05:17,435 --> 01:05:20,245
It was I who was given
the gift of wisdom,
748
01:05:20,342 --> 01:05:23,402
by God Himself,
not those doddery old windbags.
749
01:05:23,504 --> 01:05:25,541
They are God's
representatives on earth.
750
01:05:25,646 --> 01:05:29,120
I am God's representative
on earth!
751
01:05:29,894 --> 01:05:31,747
I am His anointed.
752
01:05:31,843 --> 01:05:33,335
What business is it of theirs
753
01:05:33,441 --> 01:05:36,251
if I show a tolerance
to foreign gods?
754
01:05:36,348 --> 01:05:39,278
Building temples to them
is more than showing tolerance!
755
01:05:41,077 --> 01:05:43,625
What do you know?
You are a laborer.
756
01:05:46,603 --> 01:05:49,534
This laborer
757
01:05:49,638 --> 01:05:52,318
thinks you should take
one of your secret walks.
758
01:05:59,159 --> 01:06:01,522
( laughter )
759
01:06:08,361 --> 01:06:11,171
On a hill,
not far from my farm--
760
01:06:11,268 --> 01:06:14,558
you can see it from my sheep pens--
an altar to Chemosh.
761
01:06:14,654 --> 01:06:17,105
I keep my woman and kids inside
under lock and key
762
01:06:17,211 --> 01:06:18,769
when they're about.
763
01:06:18,872 --> 01:06:20,691
Disgusting!
Shouldn't be allowed.
764
01:06:21,427 --> 01:06:24,358
And you know who I saw up there?
The King himself!
765
01:06:24,463 --> 01:06:27,807
Yes, it's true!
With his fancy women.
766
01:06:27,913 --> 01:06:30,527
All over them, he was.
Yes, dearest. No, dearest.
767
01:06:32,769 --> 01:06:34,838
They're all over the place,
these altars,
768
01:06:34,942 --> 01:06:36,761
like a plague of boils.
769
01:06:36,859 --> 01:06:39,375
- Hah!
- Let's go and pull it down.
770
01:06:39,479 --> 01:06:41,864
I mean it.
Who's going to stop us?
771
01:06:41,972 --> 01:06:43,659
Who'd disagree with us?
772
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:45,644
You fools!
773
01:06:45,741 --> 01:06:47,081
I'm no fool!
774
01:06:47,178 --> 01:06:49,444
All of you!
You're all fools!
775
01:06:51,076 --> 01:06:53,821
Israel is surrounded
by goddess worshipers,
776
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:55,674
every other country. . .
777
01:06:55,772 --> 01:06:58,801
and it's not only
the king's wives, is it, hmm?
778
01:06:59,958 --> 01:07:03,215
Many other citizens make secret
offerings at those same altars.
779
01:07:03,313 --> 01:07:06,569
- There is only one true God!
- How do you know? Hmm?
780
01:07:06,667 --> 01:07:08,638
This is how I know,
pagan!
781
01:07:09,703 --> 01:07:11,935
Hey, what's going on?
Stop it!
782
01:07:12,035 --> 01:07:14,072
Stop it!
Stop it!
783
01:07:16,029 --> 01:07:17,913
He's right,
and you know it.
784
01:07:18,009 --> 01:07:21,452
Sidon, you caught your wife
not ten days ago offering up. . .
785
01:07:21,555 --> 01:07:23,657
Yes,
and I beat it out of her.
786
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:25,481
She'll never worship
false gods again.
787
01:07:25,580 --> 01:07:28,675
Hebrews have been worshipping the
goddess Ashtoreth for generations!
788
01:07:28,776 --> 01:07:31,292
Thou shall have
no other gods before me.
789
01:07:31,396 --> 01:07:32,887
Get out! Get out!
790
01:07:32,993 --> 01:07:35,095
Let's make sure!
Let's knock it down!
791
01:07:35,198 --> 01:07:36,124
Get out!
792
01:07:43,536 --> 01:07:44,940
- Thank you!
- Get out!
793
01:07:45,038 --> 01:07:48,164
I believe in only one God!
Always will!
794
01:08:28,488 --> 01:08:29,730
I carry nothing.
795
01:08:33,888 --> 01:08:37,395
You carry a heavy burden of wrongs
against the one true God.
796
01:08:38,808 --> 01:08:43,308
Because you have turned against Me
and not kept covenant with Me,
797
01:08:43,408 --> 01:08:47,525
I will tear your kingdom from you,
and give it to your servant.
798
01:08:47,626 --> 01:08:50,491
For your father, David's sake,
while you live, you shall rule.
799
01:08:50,596 --> 01:08:54,007
But when you die,
I will divide the kingdom.
800
01:08:54,111 --> 01:08:57,847
I will give your son one tribe,
but the rest will I tear from him.
801
01:08:57,945 --> 01:09:00,974
Thus speaks the Lord,
your God.
802
01:09:31,395 --> 01:09:33,432
Leave me alone!
803
01:09:33,536 --> 01:09:34,396
Where are you going?
804
01:09:34,495 --> 01:09:37,523
I will have you if I want you,
and I do want you.
805
01:09:39,382 --> 01:09:40,242
Let me pass.
806
01:09:40,341 --> 01:09:41,289
Hey!
807
01:09:42,674 --> 01:09:45,288
- What do you think you're doing?
- Leave me alone!
808
01:09:45,390 --> 01:09:49,377
- You leave her alone!
- I'm the son of the King! Rehoboam!
809
01:09:49,478 --> 01:09:51,515
- I don't care who you are.
- Let him go!
810
01:09:51,619 --> 01:09:53,470
He is who he says he is.
811
01:09:53,568 --> 01:09:56,052
He insulted my daughter.
I don't care who he is.
812
01:09:56,156 --> 01:09:59,500
Give him over to my care.
I will see the King hears of this.
813
01:09:59,606 --> 01:10:01,327
I will see justice done.
814
01:10:03,997 --> 01:10:06,612
I hope you will accept
this as a fair recompense.
815
01:10:08,310 --> 01:10:09,868
Thank you, my lord.
You are generous.
816
01:10:09,971 --> 01:10:12,073
- But I still think I'm ruler. . .
- Leave it to me.
817
01:10:12,177 --> 01:10:14,922
I will see that justice is done.
818
01:10:19,364 --> 01:10:21,565
Solomon, you must speak
with Rehoboam.
819
01:10:21,664 --> 01:10:23,124
He's a disgrace to you!
820
01:10:23,229 --> 01:10:26,192
He's young, and I was just
like him at that age.
821
01:10:26,298 --> 01:10:29,228
No. Where you were proud,
he is arrogant.
822
01:10:29,332 --> 01:10:31,598
Where you were wise,
he is opinionated.
823
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,146
Where you used your powers
for the common good,
824
01:10:34,253 --> 01:10:36,322
he abuses them.
825
01:10:36,426 --> 01:10:39,998
You cared about the people,
he cares only for himself.
826
01:10:40,100 --> 01:10:42,713
Every generation thinks
their sons and their daughters
827
01:10:42,815 --> 01:10:44,567
are worse behaved
than they were.
828
01:10:44,667 --> 01:10:48,916
- It is the way of the world.
- It isn't our sons and daughters!
829
01:10:49,012 --> 01:10:50,319
It's you!
830
01:10:50,418 --> 01:10:53,097
You brought the kingdom
of Israel and Judah to a pinnacle.
831
01:10:53,198 --> 01:10:54,382
- We were the envy of the world!
- Nothing's changed.
832
01:10:54,679 --> 01:10:55,887
Everything has changed!
833
01:10:56,979 --> 01:11:01,793
You have abandoned God
and God will abandon you!
834
01:11:03,337 --> 01:11:06,266
Zadok warned you
on his deathbed!
835
01:11:06,372 --> 01:11:08,441
The priests
have warned you.
836
01:11:08,545 --> 01:11:11,987
For all I know,
God Himself has warned you.
837
01:11:12,091 --> 01:11:16,144
And still the false gods
defile our land like the plague!
838
01:11:23,209 --> 01:11:27,513
I would allow no other man
to speak to me like this, Jeroboam.
839
01:11:27,618 --> 01:11:31,224
Then hear me!
It is not too late.
840
01:11:31,324 --> 01:11:34,615
You made me superintendent
of the northern provinces!
841
01:11:34,712 --> 01:11:37,805
There is much anger there.
If they should break away,
842
01:11:37,906 --> 01:11:39,561
it would be the end
of everything.
843
01:11:39,663 --> 01:11:43,302
Israel would again be nothing more
than a few wandering tribes.
844
01:11:43,401 --> 01:11:48,478
Then I suggest you go there
to rule them,
845
01:11:48,577 --> 01:11:52,880
before I do something
I might regret!
846
01:11:56,627 --> 01:11:58,120
Go on. Go.
847
01:12:01,068 --> 01:12:03,715
Yes, I will go.
848
01:12:06,851 --> 01:12:09,149
But not to the office
of your court.
849
01:12:11,772 --> 01:12:14,102
And what does this mean,
Jeroboam?
850
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,237
It means. . .
851
01:12:16,340 --> 01:12:18,823
I will not be a part
of your heathen ways.
852
01:12:18,928 --> 01:12:22,915
I'm separating myself
from your government,
853
01:12:23,018 --> 01:12:27,135
as you have separated yourself
from the one true God.
854
01:12:27,235 --> 01:12:28,639
Rebellion?
855
01:12:29,695 --> 01:12:32,822
Is this rebellion from the man
I raised from a common laborer?
856
01:12:34,232 --> 01:12:35,822
Call it what you like.
857
01:12:37,682 --> 01:12:41,255
I cannot follow a King
who does not follow his God.
858
01:12:41,356 --> 01:12:43,556
I will follow any god I wish!
859
01:12:43,657 --> 01:12:46,500
I learn from other gods.
860
01:12:46,597 --> 01:12:50,616
And I will rule as my mind
and my heart tell me!
861
01:12:56,340 --> 01:12:57,995
And I shall do it all. . .
862
01:12:58,098 --> 01:13:01,736
without the hand-wringing
cretins of the court!
863
01:13:01,835 --> 01:13:03,588
Do you hear me?
864
01:13:16,912 --> 01:13:19,014
Ah, Jeroboam.
865
01:13:19,116 --> 01:13:22,014
Come, eat.
I've been waiting for you.
866
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,287
You know my name?
867
01:13:24,388 --> 01:13:27,133
Who are you?
Did the King send you?
868
01:13:27,231 --> 01:13:29,682
Not the King you mean.
869
01:13:29,788 --> 01:13:31,792
I'm Ahijah, from Shiloh.
870
01:13:31,897 --> 01:13:34,510
I serve our God,
as I know you do also.
871
01:13:36,784 --> 01:13:39,366
Some say I am a prophet.
872
01:13:39,468 --> 01:13:42,049
- And are you?
- Perhaps.
873
01:13:42,152 --> 01:13:44,636
Perhaps I hear God
more clearly than most.
874
01:13:44,739 --> 01:13:47,452
Oh, I have a message for you.
875
01:13:52,279 --> 01:13:54,697
It's strong new cloth.
Have you a knife?
876
01:14:01,896 --> 01:14:03,519
Good. Come.
877
01:14:22,056 --> 01:14:26,588
These twelve pieces of my cloak
represent the twelve tribes of Israel.
878
01:14:27,965 --> 01:14:29,905
This is God's word to you.
879
01:14:30,905 --> 01:14:34,696
Solomon has broken his laws,
and worshipped false gods.
880
01:14:34,804 --> 01:14:36,394
You have not.
881
01:14:36,496 --> 01:14:39,459
So, thus speaks
the God of Israel. . .
882
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:45,279
he will take the kingdom away
from Solomon's son, Rehoboam,
883
01:14:45,378 --> 01:14:49,332
and give it to you--
that is, the ten tribes.
884
01:14:49,436 --> 01:14:52,975
Now he will give the tribe
of Judah to Rehoboam,
885
01:14:53,078 --> 01:14:54,636
so that his servant,
David,
886
01:14:54,740 --> 01:14:57,289
will always have a lamp
before him in Jerusalem.
887
01:14:58,414 --> 01:15:00,167
Do you understand?
888
01:15:04,133 --> 01:15:05,592
Good.
889
01:15:05,698 --> 01:15:07,289
Now, I must be on my way.
890
01:15:10,330 --> 01:15:12,945
Keep God's law,
891
01:15:13,047 --> 01:15:15,889
and He will keep faith
with you. Come.
892
01:15:15,985 --> 01:15:17,227
Come.
893
01:15:18,510 --> 01:15:19,968
Where are you going?
894
01:15:20,075 --> 01:15:22,276
To deliver the last
two pieces of my cloak.
895
01:15:23,429 --> 01:15:24,921
Come on!
896
01:15:27,168 --> 01:15:29,400
God would do this?
897
01:15:30,330 --> 01:15:32,269
I'm simply His messenger.
898
01:15:33,877 --> 01:15:35,467
I should have you killed. . .
899
01:15:35,538 --> 01:15:38,087
I know it's sometimes the custom
to kill the messenger
900
01:15:38,189 --> 01:15:40,226
who bears bad news,
901
01:15:40,330 --> 01:15:42,847
but the messenger from God?
902
01:15:42,950 --> 01:15:44,703
I would think carefully.
903
01:15:59,020 --> 01:16:00,359
Guard! Guard!
904
01:16:03,206 --> 01:16:04,578
Start a search.
905
01:16:04,675 --> 01:16:07,637
I want Jeroboam found
and killed.
906
01:16:07,743 --> 01:16:10,357
He must not escape.
907
01:16:10,458 --> 01:16:12,212
A thousand measures of gold
908
01:16:12,311 --> 01:16:14,729
to the man who brings
me back his body.
909
01:16:23,110 --> 01:16:24,733
Oh, Lord, Lord!
910
01:16:28,349 --> 01:16:29,591
Oh, Lord!
911
01:16:37,359 --> 01:16:39,809
( weeping )
912
01:16:59,819 --> 01:17:01,725
A gift from Ahijah,
the Shilonite.
913
01:17:07,838 --> 01:17:09,362
Keep that, too.
914
01:17:14,420 --> 01:17:17,317
Now ride for Egypt.
Your life is in grave danger.
915
01:17:17,422 --> 01:17:19,426
Stay there until you hear
that Solomon is dead.
916
01:17:19,531 --> 01:17:21,055
Ride for your life!
917
01:17:30,043 --> 01:17:33,299
Where is my son?
918
01:17:33,398 --> 01:17:35,499
Where is Rehoboam?
919
01:17:45,602 --> 01:17:48,379
Rehoboam,
920
01:17:48,477 --> 01:17:51,636
my days draw to an end.
921
01:17:51,736 --> 01:17:54,252
And I have. . .
922
01:17:54,356 --> 01:17:56,207
been a fool.
923
01:17:57,263 --> 01:18:00,771
Listen to me, my son,
listen to me.
924
01:18:03,269 --> 01:18:05,241
Fear God. . .
925
01:18:05,346 --> 01:18:07,514
and keep
His commandments.
926
01:18:09,882 --> 01:18:11,407
I understand you,
Father.
927
01:18:14,739 --> 01:18:17,385
Deal wisely
with the tribes. . .
928
01:18:19,531 --> 01:18:21,667
Don't worry, Father.
929
01:18:23,238 --> 01:18:25,405
I know how
to deal with them.
930
01:18:25,506 --> 01:18:28,883
No! No!
931
01:18:32,023 --> 01:18:35,727
( choking )
932
01:19:03,716 --> 01:19:07,159
( applause )
933
01:19:22,662 --> 01:19:23,904
Well. . .
934
01:19:24,963 --> 01:19:26,902
I've come to be anointed
as your King.
935
01:19:28,573 --> 01:19:30,196
Have you lost your tongues?
936
01:19:32,279 --> 01:19:34,925
( uproar )
937
01:19:43,429 --> 01:19:45,019
You!
938
01:19:47,007 --> 01:19:50,646
Your father broke
God's Holy Law
939
01:19:50,746 --> 01:19:53,131
and His punishment
has fallen on His people.
940
01:19:53,238 --> 01:19:55,819
They groaned
under Solomon's taxes.
941
01:19:55,921 --> 01:19:58,218
They bled under the lash
of his forced labor.
942
01:19:58,317 --> 01:20:00,321
They will tolerate
these things no longer.
943
01:20:00,426 --> 01:20:02,310
Crowd:
Yes, yes!
944
01:20:04,387 --> 01:20:05,911
They want your word,
945
01:20:06,017 --> 01:20:07,955
there will be no more
forced labor,
946
01:20:08,062 --> 01:20:10,360
and the taxes
will be fair!
947
01:20:10,458 --> 01:20:11,916
Crowd:
Yes, yes!
948
01:20:12,822 --> 01:20:16,329
Otherwise, they refuse
to become your subjects.
949
01:20:27,072 --> 01:20:29,043
They refuse?
950
01:20:32,694 --> 01:20:36,070
I will discuss these
matters with my council.
951
01:20:38,125 --> 01:20:40,936
We'll meet again in three days.
952
01:20:52,247 --> 01:20:55,471
I beg you, my lord,
953
01:20:55,570 --> 01:20:57,955
consider carefully.
954
01:20:58,061 --> 01:21:02,309
Your noble father always
preferred peace to war.
955
01:21:02,406 --> 01:21:06,294
Of all wars that can
be waged, the worst,
956
01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:10,735
the most bloody,
is a civil war.
957
01:21:10,841 --> 01:21:13,651
It would be the end
of the kingdom.
958
01:21:13,749 --> 01:21:16,167
( uproar )
959
01:21:17,230 --> 01:21:19,943
You are King!
960
01:21:20,042 --> 01:21:23,201
Any sign of weakness,
if you give way to their demands,
961
01:21:23,301 --> 01:21:26,840
they will walk over you
like cattle over a meadow!
962
01:21:26,943 --> 01:21:29,623
I say, stand firm!
963
01:21:29,723 --> 01:21:32,979
Why listen
to these old graybeards?
964
01:21:33,077 --> 01:21:35,528
( applause )
965
01:21:41,992 --> 01:21:45,183
I have heard the young men
of Judah.
966
01:21:45,282 --> 01:21:47,286
They acknowledge me King.
967
01:21:48,732 --> 01:21:51,314
As for you,
968
01:21:51,416 --> 01:21:54,095
you thought
my father's yoke was heavy?
969
01:21:54,196 --> 01:21:56,102
Wait until you feel mine.
970
01:21:57,263 --> 01:21:59,267
You thought my father's taxes
too high.
971
01:22:01,224 --> 01:22:03,195
Mine will crush you.
972
01:22:03,301 --> 01:22:06,231
How dare you speak out
against your lawful King?
973
01:22:07,997 --> 01:22:10,895
My father chastised you
with whips,
974
01:22:11,001 --> 01:22:13,234
I shall use scorpions!
975
01:22:13,332 --> 01:22:15,784
I am your King!
976
01:22:17,230 --> 01:22:20,422
This finger is thicker
than my father's thigh!
977
01:22:20,521 --> 01:22:22,973
( muttering )
978
01:22:25,441 --> 01:22:27,478
That is your final word?
979
01:22:27,582 --> 01:22:29,401
I have nothing more to say.
980
01:22:33,364 --> 01:22:35,217
So be it.
981
01:22:37,869 --> 01:22:40,931
You have heard your King!
982
01:22:41,032 --> 01:22:42,339
Will you serve him?
983
01:22:42,438 --> 01:22:44,192
Crowd:
No!
984
01:22:46,016 --> 01:22:51,539
Then we are no longer one nation!
The prophesy was true.
985
01:22:51,639 --> 01:22:54,602
The glory of Solomon
is gone forever.
986
01:22:59,372 --> 01:23:02,334
The prophesy was indeed true.
987
01:23:02,438 --> 01:23:05,848
Jeroboam ruled
the ten tribes of Israel.
988
01:23:05,953 --> 01:23:09,296
Only the tribe of Judah
remained loyal to Rehoboam.
989
01:23:11,735 --> 01:23:14,317
But Solomon's prayer
was answered.
990
01:23:14,419 --> 01:23:17,675
For 360 years,
the Temple remained a place. . .
991
01:23:17,773 --> 01:23:20,803
where God and His people
would come together,
992
01:23:20,904 --> 01:23:24,031
where He would hearken
to the prayers of mankind. . .
993
01:23:24,131 --> 01:23:25,754
and forgive.
994
01:23:25,804 --> 01:23:30,354
