4
00:00:36,136 --> 00:00:38,269
in addition,
all amalekite land
5
00:00:38,271 --> 00:00:39,703
to be given
to Israel
6
00:00:39,705 --> 00:00:44,240
together with a ransom
of 100,000 shekels.
7
00:01:06,697 --> 00:01:10,198
The prophet Samuel
wishes to speak
with Saul.
8
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,366
He cannot speak
with him now.
9
00:01:12,368 --> 00:01:15,402
The king's engaged
in the affairs of state.
10
00:01:15,404 --> 00:01:18,138
Affairs of state
don't take precedence
11
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:21,107
over the affairs
of God.
12
00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:30,515
Samuel,
13
00:01:30,517 --> 00:01:32,216
we welcome you.
14
00:01:32,218 --> 00:01:35,719
With God's blessing,
our victory is complete.
15
00:01:35,721 --> 00:01:37,854
Is this how
you show gratitude,
16
00:01:37,856 --> 00:01:41,724
by robbing the amalekites
of their women and cattle
17
00:01:41,726 --> 00:01:46,128
and holding
their king in chains?
18
00:01:46,730 --> 00:01:52,767
We were...Discussing
a possible treaty.
19
00:01:54,604 --> 00:01:57,371
The king's
to be ransomed--
20
00:01:57,373 --> 00:01:59,172
treaty?
21
00:02:00,108 --> 00:02:01,574
Ransom?
22
00:02:02,710 --> 00:02:03,408
Saul,
23
00:02:03,410 --> 00:02:06,844
for this you have
betrayed your own soul
24
00:02:06,846 --> 00:02:09,680
in the sight of God.
25
00:02:10,616 --> 00:02:13,783
His instructions
were plain enough.
26
00:02:13,785 --> 00:02:17,820
He said, "I'm resolved
to blot out these heathen
27
00:02:17,822 --> 00:02:20,522
"from the face
of the land,
28
00:02:20,524 --> 00:02:22,690
"for I am a jealous God.
29
00:02:22,692 --> 00:02:25,159
"I abhor their
abominable practices.
30
00:02:25,161 --> 00:02:30,697
Therefore, send
for my servant Saul...."
31
00:02:30,799 --> 00:02:34,367
"And tell him
to fall upon
the amalekites
32
00:02:34,369 --> 00:02:37,503
"and utterly
destroy them.
33
00:02:37,505 --> 00:02:39,805
"Put them
all to death--
34
00:02:39,807 --> 00:02:42,207
"men and women,
children,
35
00:02:42,209 --> 00:02:47,278
"babes in arms,
sheep and cattle.
36
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,415
"Spare nothing
from the sword.
37
00:02:52,584 --> 00:02:54,584
Nothing."
38
00:02:59,657 --> 00:03:03,592
When our tribes
clamored for a king,
39
00:03:03,594 --> 00:03:07,295
to make us
like other nations,
40
00:03:07,297 --> 00:03:09,363
I answered them,
41
00:03:09,365 --> 00:03:11,431
"we're not like
other nations.
42
00:03:11,433 --> 00:03:16,702
The lord of hosts
is our God and our king."
43
00:03:17,204 --> 00:03:18,303
The people said,
44
00:03:18,305 --> 00:03:20,705
"we want a king
we can see.
45
00:03:20,707 --> 00:03:25,409
We want a king of our own
flesh and blood."
46
00:03:26,178 --> 00:03:30,413
Here are your kings
of flesh and blood.
47
00:03:30,681 --> 00:03:34,683
Here is a king
you can see.
48
00:04:03,213 --> 00:04:04,745
I have sinned.
49
00:04:04,747 --> 00:04:11,218
Saul...I weep
in the dark for you.
50
00:04:17,593 --> 00:04:19,626
Forgive me.
51
00:04:35,477 --> 00:04:37,743
I beg of you!
52
00:04:44,718 --> 00:04:45,950
Even so...
53
00:04:45,952 --> 00:04:49,486
As the lord tore
the kingdom
of Israel
54
00:04:49,488 --> 00:04:50,587
from the house
of Saul.
55
00:04:50,589 --> 00:04:53,356
Soon he'll give it
to another--
56
00:04:53,358 --> 00:04:55,991
a man after
his own heart.
57
00:04:55,993 --> 00:04:58,760
A worthier man
than you.
58
00:06:56,412 --> 00:06:59,679
And the lord
said to Samuel,
59
00:06:59,681 --> 00:07:02,081
"do not mourn for Saul.
60
00:07:02,083 --> 00:07:03,949
"Fill your horn
with oil,
61
00:07:03,951 --> 00:07:08,486
for I'm sending you
to Jesse of Bethlehem."
62
00:07:15,561 --> 00:07:19,029
Blessings be
upon you, Jesse.
63
00:07:24,503 --> 00:07:25,034
On this day
64
00:07:25,036 --> 00:07:29,438
shall the lord God of Israel
choose himself a king
65
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,706
from among your sons.
66
00:07:31,708 --> 00:07:32,773
But...
67
00:07:32,775 --> 00:07:34,107
But Saul is our king.
68
00:07:34,109 --> 00:07:39,512
God is not a man
that he should
deceive you.
69
00:07:43,951 --> 00:07:48,153
Which of my sons
must it be?
70
00:07:59,065 --> 00:08:02,166
My first son, eliab.
71
00:08:16,749 --> 00:08:20,617
The lord does not see
as man sees.
72
00:08:20,619 --> 00:08:22,885
Men judge by
outward appearances,
73
00:08:22,887 --> 00:08:26,822
but the lord judges
by the heart alone.
74
00:08:26,824 --> 00:08:31,193
My second son,
abinadab.
75
00:08:43,774 --> 00:08:47,575
My third son,
shammah.
76
00:08:56,118 --> 00:08:59,752
The lord has chosen
none of these men.
77
00:08:59,754 --> 00:09:02,054
You've no other sons?
78
00:09:10,964 --> 00:09:13,631
David.
79
00:09:41,127 --> 00:09:42,059
You kneel before me
80
00:09:42,061 --> 00:09:45,695
as the Shepherd
of your father's flock,
81
00:09:45,697 --> 00:09:46,829
but God's chosen you
82
00:09:46,831 --> 00:09:49,865
to be the Shepherd
of his people Israel,
83
00:09:49,867 --> 00:09:54,769
to unite his
scattered tribes
into one nation,
84
00:09:54,771 --> 00:10:00,908
and to send the heathen
from his promised land.
85
00:10:02,278 --> 00:10:04,645
My brothers are
all soldiers.
86
00:10:04,647 --> 00:10:07,047
Why not choose
one of them?
87
00:10:07,049 --> 00:10:10,283
It was not I
who chose you.
88
00:10:10,285 --> 00:10:11,951
It was the lord God.
89
00:10:11,953 --> 00:10:15,054
I am the least
in my father's
house.
90
00:10:15,056 --> 00:10:18,991
You are a child
after God's own heart.
91
00:10:18,993 --> 00:10:20,859
If I am so favored,
92
00:10:20,861 --> 00:10:23,928
let him command me
face to face.
93
00:10:23,930 --> 00:10:26,830
No man may see God
and live.
94
00:10:26,832 --> 00:10:31,267
God speaks to man
through his prophet.
95
00:10:32,169 --> 00:10:33,835
So be it.
96
00:10:33,837 --> 00:10:34,969
When I die,
97
00:10:34,971 --> 00:10:38,939
you'll be brought
before the king
by one of his sons.
98
00:10:38,941 --> 00:10:41,241
Then shall God
challenge you
99
00:10:41,243 --> 00:10:43,009
as you have
challenged him
100
00:10:43,011 --> 00:10:47,913
to defend his name
and his honor.
101
00:10:54,221 --> 00:10:56,654
Have no fear, David.
102
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:59,590
The lord shall not
forsake you
103
00:10:59,592 --> 00:11:02,092
so long as you
keep his laws
104
00:11:02,094 --> 00:11:06,930
and obey his prophets
without question.
105
00:11:46,371 --> 00:11:49,372
There's no sense
in waiting longer,
my lord.
106
00:11:49,374 --> 00:11:51,407
Samuel
will not come.
107
00:11:52,276 --> 00:11:53,808
He will come.
108
00:11:53,810 --> 00:11:55,309
No, my lord.
109
00:11:55,311 --> 00:11:56,910
He will come!
110
00:11:56,912 --> 00:11:59,245
Is Israel
governed by a king
111
00:11:59,247 --> 00:12:02,681
or the whims
of a senile old prophet?
112
00:12:02,683 --> 00:12:05,884
You cannot have one
without the other.
113
00:12:05,886 --> 00:12:08,419
What if Samuel's
a false prophet?
114
00:12:08,421 --> 00:12:11,855
If Samuel is
a false prophet,
115
00:12:11,857 --> 00:12:13,189
I'm a false king.
116
00:12:13,191 --> 00:12:15,958
It was Samuel
who anointed me,
117
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,060
even as he's
rejected me.
118
00:12:18,062 --> 00:12:22,164
The people look
to you as king,
father.
119
00:12:22,166 --> 00:12:26,902
The people will not fight
without Samuel's blessing.
120
00:12:26,904 --> 00:12:30,205
Then permit me to
move them into position
121
00:12:30,207 --> 00:12:33,241
while we
await his arrival!
122
00:12:34,744 --> 00:12:36,243
Abner's right,
father.
123
00:12:36,245 --> 00:12:39,346
But what was his name?
124
00:12:43,085 --> 00:12:46,886
The man who wrestled
with me until daybreak.
125
00:12:46,888 --> 00:12:49,455
What man, my lord?
126
00:12:52,259 --> 00:12:55,059
It was only a dream.
127
00:12:57,997 --> 00:12:59,997
If it was a dream,
128
00:12:59,999 --> 00:13:01,898
send in my musician.
129
00:13:01,900 --> 00:13:03,132
Let me dream on.
130
00:13:03,134 --> 00:13:06,969
(Horn blows)
131
00:13:24,755 --> 00:13:26,721
Where is Samuel?
132
00:13:26,723 --> 00:13:29,290
These are Samuel's
last words--
133
00:13:29,292 --> 00:13:32,426
"tell Saul to lead
the people out
134
00:13:32,428 --> 00:13:33,427
"against
the philistines.
135
00:13:33,429 --> 00:13:37,030
"The lord
shall deliver them
into their hands,
136
00:13:37,032 --> 00:13:38,998
"for, though
he's rejected Saul,
137
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,101
he won't forsake
his people Israel."
138
00:13:42,103 --> 00:13:43,936
Samuel is dead?
139
00:13:43,938 --> 00:13:44,870
He is.
140
00:13:44,872 --> 00:13:47,439
His soul
rests at peace.
141
00:13:47,441 --> 00:13:49,107
The levite--
142
00:13:49,109 --> 00:13:49,941
peace!
143
00:13:49,943 --> 00:13:55,313
You talk to me
of peace?
144
00:13:57,383 --> 00:13:59,383
Dear God,
145
00:13:59,385 --> 00:14:01,218
my God...
146
00:14:01,220 --> 00:14:05,188
Why have you
forsaken me?
147
00:14:10,295 --> 00:14:12,061
David!
148
00:14:22,873 --> 00:14:24,138
You're David.
149
00:14:24,140 --> 00:14:26,340
I'm Jonathan,
son of Saul.
150
00:14:26,342 --> 00:14:30,477
Your cousin jerod says
you're a fine singer.
151
00:14:30,479 --> 00:14:33,146
You've come to bring me
to the king.
152
00:14:33,148 --> 00:14:34,447
How do you know?
153
00:14:34,449 --> 00:14:38,484
The prophet Samuel
is dead, isn't he?
154
00:14:38,486 --> 00:14:40,486
Who told you?
155
00:15:19,827 --> 00:15:21,359
David!
156
00:15:23,596 --> 00:15:24,595
What are you
doing here?
157
00:15:24,597 --> 00:15:25,996
Who's minding
father's sheep?
158
00:15:25,998 --> 00:15:27,964
I know. You've come
to watch the battle.
159
00:15:27,966 --> 00:15:30,333
What are
you doing here?
160
00:15:41,212 --> 00:15:42,945
Father?
161
00:15:48,953 --> 00:15:51,253
I've brought the boy.
162
00:15:55,192 --> 00:15:58,960
Have you seen him
face to face?
163
00:15:59,996 --> 00:16:03,597
I saw him. Once.
164
00:16:06,001 --> 00:16:08,868
He smiled on me, too.
165
00:16:10,605 --> 00:16:13,205
But at daybreak...
166
00:16:16,243 --> 00:16:18,476
He was gone.
167
00:16:40,199 --> 00:16:42,098
¶
168
00:16:47,673 --> 00:16:53,143
¶ the lord ¶
169
00:16:53,145 --> 00:17:00,583
¶ is my Shepherd ¶
170
00:17:00,585 --> 00:17:04,353
¶ I ¶
171
00:17:04,355 --> 00:17:14,396
¶ shall not want ¶
172
00:17:14,398 --> 00:17:21,770
¶ he lies me down ¶
173
00:17:21,772 --> 00:17:31,279
¶ in green pastures ¶
174
00:17:31,281 --> 00:17:35,716
¶ he leads me beside ¶

¶ still waters ¶

00:17:43,258 --> 00:17:47,260
¶ he restores ¶
177
00:17:47,262 --> 00:17:55,401
¶ my soul ¶
178
00:18:05,212 --> 00:18:07,779
slaves of a nameless God,
179
00:18:07,781 --> 00:18:08,813
once again I bring you
180
00:18:08,815 --> 00:18:11,682
the challenge of
goliath of goth,
181
00:18:11,684 --> 00:18:14,284
champion of
the philistines.
182
00:18:14,286 --> 00:18:18,187
Where is your faith
in your God?
183
00:18:18,189 --> 00:18:21,757
Where is your trust
in his protection?
184
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:24,826
You boast that
he can move mountains,
185
00:18:24,828 --> 00:18:28,763
and yet he cannot
move one man among you
186
00:18:28,765 --> 00:18:31,398
to defend his honor.
187
00:18:32,267 --> 00:18:34,600
6 times
have we challenged you
188
00:18:34,602 --> 00:18:36,168
to put forward
a champion,
189
00:18:36,170 --> 00:18:41,439
and 6 times
have you cowered in silence!
190
00:18:41,441 --> 00:18:43,574
Send out a champion.
191
00:18:43,576 --> 00:18:44,841
Whoever wins the combat
192
00:18:44,843 --> 00:18:48,377
wins the day
for his country and God.
193
00:18:48,379 --> 00:18:51,346
Well, israelites,
194
00:18:51,348 --> 00:18:54,582
what is your answer?
195
00:19:11,500 --> 00:19:15,535
Then let all the world
bear witness--
196
00:19:15,537 --> 00:19:19,338
there is no God
in Israel!
197
00:19:21,842 --> 00:19:24,342
¶ Yea, though I walk ¶
198
00:19:24,344 --> 00:19:32,583
¶ through the valley
of the shadow of death ¶
199
00:19:32,585 --> 00:19:41,258
¶ I will fear no evil ¶
200
00:19:41,260 --> 00:19:51,167
¶ for thou art with me ¶
201
00:19:51,636 --> 00:19:53,302
goliath!
202
00:19:58,409 --> 00:20:01,476
Yea!
Yea!
203
00:20:16,493 --> 00:20:19,894
He will feed your flesh
to the birds
204
00:20:19,896 --> 00:20:23,530
and the beasts
of the field.
205
00:22:36,965 --> 00:22:39,498
So be it, lord.
206
00:22:51,578 --> 00:22:53,711
So be it!
207
00:23:26,045 --> 00:23:29,012
An entire army
at my command...
208
00:23:29,014 --> 00:23:33,750
It takes a Shepherd boy
to wipe out our disgrace?
209
00:23:41,493 --> 00:23:44,961
He's given us
back our pride.
210
00:23:56,841 --> 00:23:57,739
From that day,
211
00:23:57,741 --> 00:24:00,808
David did not return
to his father's house,
212
00:24:00,810 --> 00:24:02,910
but remained with Saul
at gibeah,
213
00:24:02,912 --> 00:24:06,747
where he served in the army
for 10 years.
214
00:24:06,749 --> 00:24:08,448
He fought so bravely
215
00:24:08,450 --> 00:24:11,184
that Saul placed him
over his men of war.
216
00:24:11,186 --> 00:24:13,686
Each victory was greeted
with exultation
217
00:24:13,688 --> 00:24:16,755
in the sight
of all the people.
218
00:25:24,057 --> 00:25:26,690
Saul has killed
his thousands,
219
00:25:26,692 --> 00:25:29,492
and David his tens
of thousands!
220
00:25:29,494 --> 00:25:31,193
Saul has killed
his thousands,
221
00:25:31,195 --> 00:25:33,862
and David
his tens of thousands!
222
00:25:33,864 --> 00:25:36,164
Saul has killed
his thousands,
223
00:25:36,166 --> 00:25:39,800
and David
his tens of thousands!
224
00:25:39,802 --> 00:25:43,136
Saul has killed
his thousands...
225
00:25:50,245 --> 00:25:52,745
May the lord bless you
and keep you
226
00:25:52,747 --> 00:25:56,048
and be gracious to you.
227
00:25:56,050 --> 00:25:59,084
May the lord lift
his face towards you
228
00:25:59,086 --> 00:26:01,786
and give you peace.
229
00:26:09,729 --> 00:26:12,196
From this day forth,
230
00:26:12,198 --> 00:26:15,933
no man shall
cover thee but me.
231
00:28:18,424 --> 00:28:20,757
It was I who
taught him the harp.
232
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:22,725
Ah, but I taught him
to use the sling.
233
00:28:22,727 --> 00:28:25,027
Father taught him
both, didn't you,
father?
234
00:28:25,029 --> 00:28:25,927
Any man can teach,
235
00:28:25,929 --> 00:28:28,229
but David's gifts
are the gifts of God.
236
00:28:28,231 --> 00:28:29,830
Ha. There
he goes again.
237
00:28:29,832 --> 00:28:33,767
David's a man
after God's own
heart, isn't he?
238
00:28:33,769 --> 00:28:36,002
Is it true that he
once killed a lion?
239
00:28:36,004 --> 00:28:37,036
With his own
bare hands.
240
00:28:37,038 --> 00:28:39,805
Which were tied
behind his back
no doubt.
241
00:28:39,807 --> 00:28:42,808
Yes. And with
a blindfold.
242
00:28:43,043 --> 00:28:45,877
David's a man
after God's own
heart, you say?
243
00:28:45,879 --> 00:28:50,414
That's what
the prophet said,
wasn't it, father?
244
00:29:02,761 --> 00:29:06,162
Did I please you,
my lord?
245
00:29:08,432 --> 00:29:10,799
You only
have to smile,
246
00:29:10,801 --> 00:29:12,467
and I am pleased.
247
00:29:12,469 --> 00:29:16,737
Did I smile...
My lord?
248
00:29:19,408 --> 00:29:21,441
My name is David.
249
00:29:21,443 --> 00:29:23,409
Ah. Forgive me.
250
00:29:23,411 --> 00:29:27,980
The confusion
is easily made.
251
00:29:27,982 --> 00:29:29,815
By whom?
252
00:29:30,384 --> 00:29:34,018
The people
who worship you
as their God.
253
00:29:34,020 --> 00:29:36,820
Well,
as for Jonathan...
254
00:29:40,091 --> 00:29:43,725
He loves me
as a brother...
255
00:29:44,194 --> 00:29:46,427
As I love him.
256
00:29:50,433 --> 00:29:52,933
And his sister?
257
00:29:55,971 --> 00:29:59,038
The resemblance
is marked...
258
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,408
But I suspect
it's only skin deep.
259
00:30:02,410 --> 00:30:05,911
Then why did you
marry me?
260
00:30:05,913 --> 00:30:09,748
You're my prize
for Goliath's head.
261
00:30:12,052 --> 00:30:15,019
Is that your
only reason?
262
00:30:17,156 --> 00:30:20,891
Is love not
reason enough?
263
00:30:20,893 --> 00:30:23,026
You scarcely know me.
264
00:30:23,028 --> 00:30:26,295
Your mystery
overwhelms me.
265
00:30:27,031 --> 00:30:29,031
And my beauty?
266
00:30:29,033 --> 00:30:31,199
Bless your modesty.
267
00:30:31,201 --> 00:30:31,999
Uh--
268
00:30:32,001 --> 00:30:36,269
a king's daughter
has cause to be proud.
269
00:30:38,006 --> 00:30:42,141
As does the man
who has won her.
270
00:30:47,014 --> 00:30:50,548
Because it was
a moonlit night...
271
00:30:50,550 --> 00:30:53,250
And David and I
led the way.
272
00:30:53,252 --> 00:30:55,885
We were climbing
up the hill.
273
00:30:55,887 --> 00:30:56,785
At the top,
274
00:30:56,787 --> 00:31:03,458
hittites and ammonites
faced us on either side.
275
00:31:03,460 --> 00:31:06,194
I urged David
to turn back,
276
00:31:06,196 --> 00:31:07,128
but he said,
277
00:31:07,130 --> 00:31:08,829
"God will deliver
them into our hands."
278
00:31:08,831 --> 00:31:14,134
Hear him warbling in praise
of the cuckoo bird.
279
00:31:14,136 --> 00:31:15,268
What cuckoo bird?
280
00:31:15,270 --> 00:31:19,805
He ate from my table
and lies with my daughter.
281
00:31:19,807 --> 00:31:25,577
He's robbed me of my God,
my people, even my children.
282
00:31:25,579 --> 00:31:30,582
What else can he take
but my crown?
283
00:31:31,351 --> 00:31:33,217
That's a lie.
284
00:31:33,219 --> 00:31:34,117
While David lives,
285
00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:39,455
neither I nor you
nor the throne
shall be safe.
286
00:31:39,457 --> 00:31:43,125
What proof
do you have?
287
00:31:46,230 --> 00:31:51,866
Did Samuel
anoint your brother?
288
00:31:52,301 --> 00:31:56,469
The prophet blessed
him, my lord.
289
00:31:56,904 --> 00:31:59,604
David has done
nothing wrong, father.
290
00:31:59,606 --> 00:32:03,608
You cannot harm
an innocent man.
291
00:32:03,610 --> 00:32:09,080
Samuel anointed him
in my place!
292
00:32:09,949 --> 00:32:11,415
David!
293
00:32:12,851 --> 00:32:19,121
The boy I trusted
and loved as my own son.
294
00:32:19,123 --> 00:32:21,490
Then be glad of it!
295
00:32:21,592 --> 00:32:23,158
Give thanks
Israel's future
296
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:27,362
belongs to a man
worthy of your love.
297
00:32:28,998 --> 00:32:31,164
No!
298
00:32:31,166 --> 00:32:33,266
Oh!
Oh!
299
00:33:22,417 --> 00:33:24,316
Where have
you hidden him?
300
00:33:24,318 --> 00:33:27,285
I don't know
where he is.
301
00:33:27,287 --> 00:33:30,621
Don't lie to me!
302
00:33:31,190 --> 00:33:34,191
When I awoke,
he was gone.
303
00:33:48,106 --> 00:33:49,972
Shammah.
304
00:33:56,447 --> 00:33:57,646
That's
the important thing.
305
00:33:57,648 --> 00:34:01,983
Who cares about
her mother? Ha ha...
306
00:34:05,388 --> 00:34:08,322
Find David Ben-Jesse!
307
00:34:08,324 --> 00:34:09,423
Find him!
308
00:34:09,425 --> 00:34:12,426
Search the courtyard
and stables!
309
00:34:12,428 --> 00:34:13,393
Get horses!
310
00:34:13,395 --> 00:34:16,696
Find David Ben-Jesse!
311
00:34:18,366 --> 00:34:20,366
You look
in the storage room!
312
00:34:20,368 --> 00:34:23,168
Go to the South tower!
313
00:34:33,547 --> 00:34:34,279
David...
314
00:34:34,281 --> 00:34:37,448
You must go at once
to the sanctuary of nome
315
00:34:37,450 --> 00:34:40,117
and ask for
the high priest
ahemelek
316
00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:42,385
and show him this.
317
00:34:42,687 --> 00:34:44,286
Come with me.
318
00:34:44,288 --> 00:34:45,253
I cannot.
319
00:34:45,255 --> 00:34:48,589
But we have
a covenant to
friendship between us.
320
00:34:48,591 --> 00:34:52,159
What of the covenant
of honor between the
father and his son?
321
00:34:52,161 --> 00:34:54,728
I would lay down my life
for you willingly,
322
00:34:54,730 --> 00:34:57,430
but I will not break
faith with my father...
323
00:34:57,432 --> 00:35:00,733
As I will not
break faith with you.
324
00:35:00,735 --> 00:35:01,700
Forgive me.
325
00:35:01,702 --> 00:35:06,671
You have the love of
one far greater than I
to care for you.
326
00:35:06,673 --> 00:35:09,573
My father has no one.
327
00:35:12,210 --> 00:35:13,609
May the lord
be with you.
328
00:35:13,611 --> 00:35:18,147
May his light shine
within your heart...
329
00:35:18,149 --> 00:35:21,250
Even as you shine
within mine.
330
00:35:52,516 --> 00:35:53,414
"So Jacob was alone,
331
00:35:53,416 --> 00:35:57,284
"and a man struggled
with him there
until daybreak,
332
00:35:57,286 --> 00:36:02,689
"and the man said,
let me go.
The day is breaking.
333
00:36:02,691 --> 00:36:03,556
"But Jacob replied,
334
00:36:03,558 --> 00:36:07,593
"I will not go unless
you tell me your name.
335
00:36:07,595 --> 00:36:11,730
"And the man said,
why do you ask my name?
336
00:36:11,732 --> 00:36:17,202
"I am that I am.
That is who I am.
337
00:36:17,204 --> 00:36:21,306
"And so Jacob
called the place paneil,
338
00:36:21,308 --> 00:36:23,441
"which means
the face of God,
339
00:36:23,443 --> 00:36:27,645
"because, he said, I have
seen God face to face,
340
00:36:27,647 --> 00:36:31,448
and my life
has been spared."
341
00:36:32,551 --> 00:36:36,486
Were Moses and Jacob
the only men to have
seen him face to face?
342
00:36:36,488 --> 00:36:41,190
Even Abraham was denied
the supreme revelation.
343
00:36:41,192 --> 00:36:43,859
Then why did God
choose Jacob?
344
00:36:43,861 --> 00:36:45,260
Why has he chosen you?
345
00:36:45,262 --> 00:36:49,897
God may have created
man in his own image
and likeness,
346
00:36:49,899 --> 00:36:55,369
but he has denied
us all understanding
of his purpose.
347
00:36:55,371 --> 00:36:57,537
I knew him once.
348
00:36:57,839 --> 00:37:04,276
As a boy, I could
feel his presence
all around me.
349
00:37:04,611 --> 00:37:08,346
If only I, too,
could see him.
350
00:37:52,959 --> 00:37:58,929
Are you aware
of the presence
that you are in?
351
00:37:58,931 --> 00:38:00,430
The ark of the covenant.
352
00:38:00,432 --> 00:38:03,833
None but a priest
may gaze upon it.
353
00:38:03,835 --> 00:38:06,468
The 10 commandments
lie within,
354
00:38:06,470 --> 00:38:08,470
written on
tablets of stone
355
00:38:08,472 --> 00:38:11,840
by the finger
of God himself.
356
00:38:11,842 --> 00:38:14,876
Why is it kept here?
357
00:38:15,478 --> 00:38:17,744
It should be
enthroned on high,
358
00:38:17,746 --> 00:38:19,779
not hidden away
like this.
359
00:38:19,781 --> 00:38:25,017
For 250 years
it has awaited
such a home.
360
00:38:26,987 --> 00:38:33,424
Then hear, o lord,
the vow of thy
servant David...
361
00:38:33,993 --> 00:38:38,362
When once my feet
have found their rest,
362
00:38:38,364 --> 00:38:41,465
I will give no sleep
to my eyes
363
00:38:41,467 --> 00:38:46,069
until I have built
a temple for the lord...
364
00:38:46,704 --> 00:38:53,408
A dwelling place
for the mighty one
of Jacob.
365
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,813
Shelmo.
366
00:39:00,550 --> 00:39:02,683
Prince jonsan
says that--
367
00:39:02,685 --> 00:39:03,550
who are you?
368
00:39:03,552 --> 00:39:05,652
I am the high priest
ahimine.
369
00:39:05,654 --> 00:39:06,886
Where is the guardian
of the ark?
370
00:39:06,888 --> 00:39:09,521
He's at his station
in the cavern.
371
00:39:09,523 --> 00:39:10,788
Prince jonsan
says the guardian
372
00:39:10,790 --> 00:39:12,489
sent word to the king
that you are here.
373
00:39:12,491 --> 00:39:16,860
Joab and our brothers
have escaped to the
caves of adurnam.
374
00:39:32,077 --> 00:39:35,878
Stand before the ark.
375
00:39:38,649 --> 00:39:42,917
Now swear to me
in the sight of God
376
00:39:42,919 --> 00:39:46,954
that you have not
betrayed our guest.
377
00:40:00,469 --> 00:40:01,801
Shobread...
378
00:40:01,803 --> 00:40:03,602
Law forbids anyone
but a priest to
partake of it.
379
00:40:03,604 --> 00:40:04,936
May God
forgive us both.
380
00:40:04,938 --> 00:40:08,806
This I return to you
with a clear conscience.
381
00:40:08,808 --> 00:40:09,940
Goliath's sword.
382
00:40:09,942 --> 00:40:12,142
It was sent here
for safekeeping.
383
00:40:12,144 --> 00:40:12,775
David!
384
00:40:12,777 --> 00:40:14,910
May the lord
bless you for
your kindness.
385
00:40:14,912 --> 00:40:17,879
And protect you,
my son.
386
00:40:20,083 --> 00:40:21,115
We must
bar the gates.
387
00:40:21,117 --> 00:40:25,152
No. We have
no one to hide.
388
00:40:29,491 --> 00:40:33,960
¶ It is good
to give thanks to the lord ¶
389
00:40:33,962 --> 00:40:36,963
¶ for his love
endures forever ¶
390
00:40:36,965 --> 00:40:42,101
¶ declare it,
people of Israel ¶
391
00:40:42,103 --> 00:40:45,838
¶ for his love
endures forever ¶
392
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:50,008
¶ give thanks
to the God of gods ¶
393
00:40:50,010 --> 00:40:53,678
¶ for his love
endures forever ¶
394
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,548
¶ he made
the great lights ¶
395
00:40:57,550 --> 00:41:00,918
¶ for his love
endures forever ¶
396
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,453
¶ a son to whom-- ¶
397
00:41:03,455 --> 00:41:04,887
silence!
398
00:41:10,561 --> 00:41:12,627
Where is
David Ben-Jesse?
399
00:41:12,629 --> 00:41:14,161
I do not know.
400
00:41:14,163 --> 00:41:16,163
You are lying.
401
00:41:16,165 --> 00:41:18,698
A priest does not lie.
402
00:41:20,601 --> 00:41:23,201
He was here,
was he not?
403
00:41:23,203 --> 00:41:25,570
He was here.
404
00:41:26,172 --> 00:41:27,638
When did he leave?
405
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:28,572
Some time ago.
406
00:41:28,574 --> 00:41:31,107
In what direction
did he go?
407
00:41:31,109 --> 00:41:31,874
I did not see.
408
00:41:31,876 --> 00:41:36,879
The guardian of
the ark, my lord,
he will know.
409
00:41:37,848 --> 00:41:39,180
Where is the guardian?
410
00:41:39,182 --> 00:41:41,615
He, too, is
no longer with us.
411
00:41:41,617 --> 00:41:43,950
Abner...
412
00:41:45,219 --> 00:41:48,887
I want these priests
killed one by one
413
00:41:48,889 --> 00:41:51,556
until their
high priest
changes his mind.
414
00:41:51,558 --> 00:41:54,191
Then the killing
will stop.
415
00:41:54,193 --> 00:41:56,459
No soldier would
carry out such an order.
416
00:41:56,461 --> 00:41:57,493
These priests--
417
00:41:57,495 --> 00:41:59,761
these priests...
418
00:41:59,763 --> 00:42:01,162
Are maggots
419
00:42:01,164 --> 00:42:03,164
in carrion...
420
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,065
Fattening themselves
421
00:42:05,067 --> 00:42:09,035
on the offerings
people give to the lord.
422
00:42:09,037 --> 00:42:14,106
They are traitors,
every one of them!
423
00:42:14,541 --> 00:42:15,973
And so is any soldier
424
00:42:15,975 --> 00:42:19,576
who refuses to obey
the king's command.
425
00:42:27,586 --> 00:42:29,052
You.
426
00:42:33,124 --> 00:42:35,157
I cannot.
427
00:42:41,865 --> 00:42:43,497
You.
428
00:42:43,499 --> 00:42:45,632
No, father!
429
00:42:48,903 --> 00:42:52,504
Will no one
obey the king?
430
00:43:02,015 --> 00:43:05,049
I will, my lord.
431
00:43:08,554 --> 00:43:12,155
It takes a gentile
to obey.
432
00:43:12,757 --> 00:43:14,890
¶ It is good ¶
433
00:43:14,892 --> 00:43:18,793
¶ to give thanks
to the lord ¶
434
00:43:18,795 --> 00:43:21,529
¶ his love
endures forever ¶
435
00:43:21,531 --> 00:43:26,233
¶ he brought Israel
out of Egypt ¶
436
00:43:26,235 --> 00:43:28,835
¶ his love
endures forever ¶
437
00:43:28,837 --> 00:43:32,705
¶ no king shall
bring him low ¶
438
00:43:33,741 --> 00:43:34,906
(dying moans)
439
00:43:34,908 --> 00:43:36,207
¶ His love
endures forever ¶
440
00:43:36,209 --> 00:43:41,745
¶ no enemy shall
strike him down ¶
441
00:43:41,747 --> 00:43:44,714
¶ his love
endures forever ¶
442
00:43:44,716 --> 00:43:51,020
¶ for the lord
has sworn ¶
443
00:43:51,022 --> 00:43:55,157
¶ to his servant ¶
444
00:43:55,159 --> 00:43:57,659
¶ David ¶
445
00:43:57,661 --> 00:43:59,627
haah!
446
00:44:06,168 --> 00:44:09,002
His love for him...
447
00:44:09,004 --> 00:44:11,170
Endures...
448
00:44:11,172 --> 00:44:13,238
Forever.
449
00:44:27,854 --> 00:44:29,220
And it came to pass
450
00:44:29,222 --> 00:44:30,955
that David remained
in the wilderness
451
00:44:30,957 --> 00:44:32,122
for 6 years,
452
00:44:32,124 --> 00:44:35,692
while Saul sought him
day after day.
453
00:44:35,694 --> 00:44:38,161
Everyone
that was in distress,
454
00:44:38,163 --> 00:44:40,196
everyone
that was in debt,
455
00:44:40,198 --> 00:44:42,898
and everyone
that was discontented
456
00:44:42,900 --> 00:44:46,101
gathered themselves
unto him.
457
00:44:48,371 --> 00:44:50,971
David took unto himself
3 wives:
458
00:44:50,973 --> 00:44:54,174
Abigail, ahinoam,
and maacah.
459
00:44:54,176 --> 00:44:57,143
Ahinoam bore David
a first-born,
460
00:44:57,145 --> 00:44:58,844
whom he called amnon.
461
00:44:58,846 --> 00:45:01,146
Maacah bore him
a second son,
462
00:45:01,148 --> 00:45:04,649
whom he called absalom.
463
00:45:18,398 --> 00:45:23,367
And David loved absalom
with all his heart.
464
00:45:25,037 --> 00:45:27,937
Lord God of all Israel,
465
00:45:27,939 --> 00:45:29,772
king of the universe,
466
00:45:29,774 --> 00:45:32,107
we have circumcised
this child
467
00:45:32,109 --> 00:45:36,845
that he may enter
into Abraham's covenant.
468
00:45:36,847 --> 00:45:38,780
God of our fathers,
469
00:45:38,782 --> 00:45:39,914
preserve this child.
470
00:45:39,916 --> 00:45:43,083
As he's entered
into the covenant,
471
00:45:43,085 --> 00:45:45,852
so may he enter
into the law,
472
00:45:45,854 --> 00:45:49,255
natural grace,
and good deeds.
473
00:45:55,830 --> 00:45:57,696
David.
474
00:45:59,833 --> 00:46:01,365
David!
475
00:46:52,918 --> 00:46:53,950
Where's Saul?
476
00:46:53,952 --> 00:46:54,884
In the cave.
477
00:46:54,886 --> 00:46:59,121
Abner and his men
are in there, too.
478
00:47:01,291 --> 00:47:04,392
Let's move the women
and children at once.
479
00:47:04,394 --> 00:47:09,163
They'll move against us
at daybreak.
480
00:47:09,165 --> 00:47:11,231
Where are you going?
481
00:47:11,233 --> 00:47:13,733
To visit Saul.
482
00:47:16,304 --> 00:47:17,169
David!
483
00:47:17,171 --> 00:47:19,437
David, don't
be a fool.
484
00:47:19,439 --> 00:47:22,239
Saul hasn't
come to talk,
485
00:47:22,241 --> 00:47:23,473
but to kill.
486
00:47:23,475 --> 00:47:25,808
The lord
didn't anoint me
487
00:47:25,810 --> 00:47:29,378
to die at Saul's hand.
488
00:48:55,966 --> 00:48:58,567
(Blowing gently)
489
00:49:21,992 --> 00:49:25,259
My lord,
the day is broken!
490
00:49:35,304 --> 00:49:37,537
He was here.
491
00:49:42,677 --> 00:49:44,410
He was here.
492
00:49:44,412 --> 00:49:45,544
Who?
493
00:49:45,546 --> 00:49:46,745
David.
494
00:49:46,747 --> 00:49:49,347
That's not
possible, my lord.
495
00:49:49,349 --> 00:49:50,381
I guarded you--
496
00:49:50,383 --> 00:49:52,516
he was here!
497
00:49:56,188 --> 00:49:58,521
He was very close.
498
00:49:59,690 --> 00:50:02,590
I felt him.
499
00:50:13,536 --> 00:50:15,569
Saul!
500
00:50:19,608 --> 00:50:23,776
Can you not
answer me, Saul?
501
00:50:24,678 --> 00:50:26,144
Who are you, David,
502
00:50:26,146 --> 00:50:28,779
to shout
to Israel's king?
503
00:50:28,781 --> 00:50:29,613
Who are you, abner,
504
00:50:29,615 --> 00:50:34,217
to call yourself commander
in the king's army?
505
00:50:34,219 --> 00:50:35,318
Why did you not
506
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,655
keep watch over the king
while he slept?
507
00:50:39,657 --> 00:50:44,660
Where's the king's sword
that was by his side?
508
00:50:46,730 --> 00:50:49,731
Here is the king's sword,
509
00:50:49,733 --> 00:50:52,533
in the hands
of his enemy.
510
00:50:52,535 --> 00:50:54,568
A lie!
511
00:51:14,523 --> 00:51:18,791
The lord delivered you
into my hands,
512
00:51:18,793 --> 00:51:22,294
and I spared your life.
513
00:51:22,796 --> 00:51:24,829
David...
514
00:51:27,133 --> 00:51:29,166
My son.
515
00:51:33,772 --> 00:51:36,639
May the lord
bless you.
516
00:51:39,410 --> 00:51:42,377
Let all
Israel witness
517
00:51:42,379 --> 00:51:46,748
how the king
loves David.
518
00:51:47,784 --> 00:51:52,486
He has held my life
precious this day.
519
00:51:55,357 --> 00:51:58,458
Put up your arms.
520
00:51:58,460 --> 00:52:00,426
We return to gibeah.
521
00:52:00,428 --> 00:52:02,261
He's
in our palm.
522
00:52:02,263 --> 00:52:04,263
Abner!
523
00:52:05,833 --> 00:52:07,432
The king...
524
00:52:07,434 --> 00:52:09,767
Has spoken.
525
00:52:42,434 --> 00:52:44,300
He'll be back.
526
00:52:45,503 --> 00:52:47,836
I know.
527
00:52:59,683 --> 00:53:03,284
Make way
for the blind!
528
00:53:03,286 --> 00:53:05,919
Make way
for the blind!
529
00:53:05,921 --> 00:53:09,589
Make way
for the blind!
530
00:53:09,657 --> 00:53:13,925
Make way
for the blind!
531
00:53:14,394 --> 00:53:17,928
Make way
for the blind!
532
00:53:19,231 --> 00:53:22,365
Make way
for the blind!
533
00:53:24,235 --> 00:53:27,636
Make way
for the blind!
534
00:53:31,842 --> 00:53:34,776
My master wishes
to see achish,
535
00:53:34,778 --> 00:53:36,544
lord of the philistines.
536
00:53:36,546 --> 00:53:38,212
He's israelite?
537
00:53:38,214 --> 00:53:39,379
He is mad.
538
00:53:39,381 --> 00:53:41,647
Therefore israelite.
539
00:53:42,716 --> 00:53:46,517
My master has
a message for the king.
540
00:53:46,519 --> 00:53:47,885
From who?
541
00:53:47,887 --> 00:53:49,720
God.
542
00:54:36,602 --> 00:54:37,367
I apologize
543
00:54:37,369 --> 00:54:39,469
for the necessity
of your performance.
544
00:54:39,471 --> 00:54:44,874
But in our country,
madmen are held sacred.
545
00:54:45,276 --> 00:54:47,309
Grasp that,
and you've grasped
546
00:54:47,311 --> 00:54:50,545
the very essence
of religion.
547
00:54:52,015 --> 00:54:53,781
Another samson?
548
00:54:53,783 --> 00:54:56,350
My son absalom.
549
00:54:56,352 --> 00:54:57,751
Hmm.
550
00:54:57,753 --> 00:55:00,386
Absalom,
I'd be obliged
551
00:55:00,388 --> 00:55:03,756
if you'd keep away
from those pillars.
552
00:55:03,758 --> 00:55:06,291
Youth is
no barrier to strength,
553
00:55:06,293 --> 00:55:11,496
as you yourself so ably
demonstrated, David.
554
00:55:11,498 --> 00:55:13,331
God's victory,
not mine.
555
00:55:13,333 --> 00:55:15,700
I was but
the means
to his end.
556
00:55:15,702 --> 00:55:17,401
Or goliath, perhaps.
557
00:55:17,403 --> 00:55:20,637
It's your God's motive
that seems less clear.
558
00:55:20,639 --> 00:55:23,673
If he can deliver
you of a giant,
559
00:55:23,675 --> 00:55:26,642
why can't he
free you of Saul?
560
00:55:26,644 --> 00:55:28,677
If you grant us refuge,
561
00:55:28,679 --> 00:55:31,880
he will have done so.
562
00:55:31,882 --> 00:55:34,649
What about dagon,
God of this temple?
563
00:55:34,651 --> 00:55:39,987
Will not he deserve
some measure of thanks,
564
00:55:39,989 --> 00:55:41,989
hmm?
565
00:55:42,658 --> 00:55:45,692
It's you
who'll thank him.
566
00:55:45,694 --> 00:55:47,493
We'll be yours
to command
567
00:55:47,495 --> 00:55:50,762
against any enemy
you choose to name.
568
00:55:50,764 --> 00:55:53,598
Except Saul, of course.
569
00:55:55,702 --> 00:56:00,671
I won't raise my hand
against the lord's king.
570
00:56:01,740 --> 00:56:04,841
He's ready to raise
his hand against you.
571
00:56:04,843 --> 00:56:07,810
He could no sooner
rid himself of me
572
00:56:07,812 --> 00:56:12,014
than I could bring
myself to kill him.
573
00:56:12,383 --> 00:56:15,517
To love one's enemy
is a fine sentiment,
574
00:56:15,519 --> 00:56:20,021
but for a poet,
not for a king.
575
00:56:22,058 --> 00:56:22,723
Very well,
576
00:56:22,725 --> 00:56:25,692
we'll grant you ziklag
as a place of refuge.
577
00:56:25,694 --> 00:56:30,863
But in addition
to the services
of your men,
578
00:56:30,865 --> 00:56:34,433
we want a sworn
undertaking from you
579
00:56:34,435 --> 00:56:37,602
that once you become
king in Israel,
580
00:56:37,604 --> 00:56:42,907
you will
renounce all claims
to philistine lands.
581
00:56:42,909 --> 00:56:44,074
Respect what is ours,
582
00:56:44,076 --> 00:56:47,343
and we shall
keep faith with you.
583
00:56:47,345 --> 00:56:51,046
I refer to
the so-called...
584
00:56:51,048 --> 00:56:52,714
Promised land.
585
00:56:52,716 --> 00:56:54,949
Didn't your God
promise Moses--
586
00:56:54,951 --> 00:56:55,883
or was it Abraham--
587
00:56:55,885 --> 00:57:00,387
all the lands
between Lebanon
and Egypt?
588
00:57:00,389 --> 00:57:02,555
Between the Syrian
wilderness
589
00:57:02,557 --> 00:57:05,024
and the Western sea?
590
00:57:05,026 --> 00:57:07,459
The land
of the hittites,
591
00:57:07,461 --> 00:57:08,827
the jebozites,
592
00:57:08,829 --> 00:57:10,495
the amorites,
593
00:57:10,497 --> 00:57:14,599
and, uh, need I add...
594
00:57:14,601 --> 00:57:16,434
The philistines, hmm?
595
00:57:16,436 --> 00:57:19,537
What God
chooses to give,
596
00:57:19,539 --> 00:57:21,839
we cannot refuse.
597
00:57:22,708 --> 00:57:24,874
The law of Moses
isn't renowned
598
00:57:24,876 --> 00:57:28,577
for its impartiality
towards heathen races.
599
00:57:28,579 --> 00:57:29,678
The law of David
600
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,881
shall deal justly
with all men,
601
00:57:32,883 --> 00:57:35,750
Hebrew
and heathen alike.
602
00:57:35,752 --> 00:57:39,887
On that I give you
my solemn oath.
603
00:58:25,935 --> 00:58:29,937
The lord of hosts
is the God of Israel!
604
00:58:29,939 --> 00:58:33,073
If you leave
the promised land,
605
00:58:33,075 --> 00:58:34,974
you'll be placing yourself
606
00:58:34,976 --> 00:58:36,909
beyond
his divine protection,
607
00:58:36,911 --> 00:58:39,444
into the mercy
of heathen gods.
608
00:58:39,446 --> 00:58:42,046
We've been hounded
from every cesspit
609
00:58:42,048 --> 00:58:44,548
and rat hole
in the promised land.
610
00:58:44,550 --> 00:58:47,183
Is that your idea
of protection?
611
00:58:47,185 --> 00:58:51,720
Whose shield
has guarded
you thus far?
612
00:58:51,722 --> 00:58:54,522
By what miracle
have you survived
613
00:58:54,524 --> 00:58:56,156
without
the lord's grace?
614
00:58:56,158 --> 00:58:58,658
You're right.
615
00:58:59,927 --> 00:59:02,861
Will his sun
be less warm,
616
00:59:02,863 --> 00:59:05,730
his wind less cool...
617
00:59:05,732 --> 00:59:08,065
Across this border?
618
00:59:10,035 --> 00:59:12,035
Go then.
619
00:59:12,237 --> 00:59:14,937
And may the lord
be with you,
620
00:59:14,939 --> 00:59:17,105
for I cannot.
621
00:59:38,828 --> 00:59:42,262
David dwelt in the country
of the philistines
622
00:59:42,264 --> 00:59:44,897
a full year
and 4 months.
623
00:59:44,899 --> 00:59:46,698
So that achish said,
624
00:59:46,700 --> 00:59:50,068
"he shall be
my servant forever."
625
00:59:59,079 --> 01:00:00,545
It came to pass
626
01:00:00,547 --> 01:00:02,780
the philistines
sent word to Saul,
627
01:00:02,782 --> 01:00:08,852
challenging Israel
to battle at mount gilboa.
628
01:00:23,034 --> 01:00:26,168
My lord, I honestly
beg you to reconsider.
629
01:00:26,170 --> 01:00:28,670
We're outnumbered
by 20,000 men.
630
01:00:28,672 --> 01:00:30,872
Let's withdraw
while we can.
631
01:00:30,874 --> 01:00:33,574
Still tarnished.
Polish again. Again.
632
01:00:33,576 --> 01:00:36,209
David isn't
among the enemy.
633
01:00:36,211 --> 01:00:38,844
Your honor
isn't at stake.
634
01:00:38,846 --> 01:00:40,111
Our men's
lives are.
635
01:00:40,113 --> 01:00:43,047
I will ride
against the philistines,
636
01:00:43,049 --> 01:00:45,282
if I ride alone...
637
01:00:46,818 --> 01:00:48,884
So be it.
638
01:00:49,887 --> 01:00:54,122
The prophet Nathan is ready
to offer the sacrifice.
639
01:00:54,124 --> 01:00:57,258
There will be
no sacrifice.
640
01:00:59,295 --> 01:01:02,062
Still tarnished
at the bottom.
641
01:01:02,064 --> 01:01:03,096
Polish more. More.
642
01:01:03,098 --> 01:01:06,666
They won't fight without
Nathan's blessing.
643
01:01:06,668 --> 01:01:09,168
Rouse yourselves
in anger!
644
01:01:09,170 --> 01:01:11,803
Lord God, avenge us!
645
01:01:11,805 --> 01:01:14,305
Lay nations
at our feet!
646
01:01:14,307 --> 01:01:16,974
Lord God, avenge us!
647
01:01:16,976 --> 01:01:19,910
With your
flashing swords...
648
01:01:19,912 --> 01:01:22,145
Lord God, avenge us!
649
01:01:22,147 --> 01:01:26,349
Make your arrows
drunk with blood.
650
01:01:26,351 --> 01:01:28,617
Lord God, avenge us!
651
01:01:28,619 --> 01:01:32,020
There will
be no sacrifice!
652
01:01:34,090 --> 01:01:36,357
Lord...
653
01:01:41,797 --> 01:01:46,166
I am your sacrifice.
654
01:01:47,302 --> 01:01:50,102
This day you
will surely die.
655
01:01:50,104 --> 01:01:54,106
Then my prayer will
be answered at last.
656
01:01:54,108 --> 01:01:56,708
The lord scorns
your prayers.
657
01:01:56,710 --> 01:02:00,912
He has utterly
rejected you.
658
01:02:01,180 --> 01:02:02,746
And Samuel, too.
659
01:02:02,748 --> 01:02:07,984
And Abraham
and Isaac and Jacob!
660
01:02:11,089 --> 01:02:15,391
Even David will
be forsaken at the end.
661
01:02:15,393 --> 01:02:16,392
For in death,
662
01:02:16,394 --> 01:02:20,362
we are all cut off
from God's care.
663
01:02:20,364 --> 01:02:24,299
What purpose, then,
in serving him?
664
01:02:24,301 --> 01:02:27,101
He wrestles with man
665
01:02:27,103 --> 01:02:30,104
for the nighttime
of his life,
666
01:02:30,106 --> 01:02:35,742
but at daybreak
he is gone.
667
01:02:35,744 --> 01:02:38,144
Gone.
668
01:02:38,513 --> 01:02:41,113
Father.
669
01:02:52,392 --> 01:02:59,230
Who marches
with the king?
670
01:03:22,054 --> 01:03:25,455
Who marches
with the king
671
01:03:25,457 --> 01:03:29,892
and his son?
672
01:03:39,103 --> 01:03:41,303
I march
with the king
673
01:03:41,305 --> 01:03:43,872
and his son.
674
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,314
And his sons!
675
01:04:54,243 --> 01:05:00,146
The sword of the lord
and of Saul!
676
01:05:36,350 --> 01:05:38,083
Beware!
677
01:09:37,724 --> 01:09:40,758
(Sobbing)
678
01:09:54,306 --> 01:09:56,272
Yaah!
679
01:09:58,876 --> 01:10:02,844
Yaah!
680
01:10:02,846 --> 01:10:04,512
Aah!
681
01:10:04,514 --> 01:10:06,480
Aah!
682
01:10:06,482 --> 01:10:08,315
Aah!
683
01:10:08,317 --> 01:10:11,251
Aah!
684
01:10:18,793 --> 01:10:19,892
The beauty of Israel
685
01:10:19,894 --> 01:10:23,495
is slain upon
its high places.
686
01:10:23,697 --> 01:10:27,198
How are the mighty fallen.
687
01:10:38,277 --> 01:10:40,744
You mountains
of gilboa...
688
01:10:40,746 --> 01:10:44,414
Let there be
no dew or rain upon you,
689
01:10:44,416 --> 01:10:47,216
for there
the life of Jonathan
690
01:10:47,218 --> 01:10:49,851
is vilely cast away.
691
01:10:49,853 --> 01:10:51,385
From the blood
of the slain,
692
01:10:51,387 --> 01:10:53,887
the bow of Jonathan
held not back,
693
01:10:53,889 --> 01:10:58,691
and the sword of Saul
returned not empty.
694
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,560
In life
and in their death,
695
01:11:01,562 --> 01:11:04,696
they were not divided.
696
01:11:04,698 --> 01:11:08,499
They were swifter
than eagles,
697
01:11:08,501 --> 01:11:11,001
stronger than lions.
698
01:11:11,003 --> 01:11:14,304
You daughters
of Israel,
699
01:11:14,306 --> 01:11:15,905
weep over Saul
700
01:11:15,907 --> 01:11:18,307
who clothed you
in Scarlet
701
01:11:18,309 --> 01:11:20,609
and ornaments of gold.
702
01:11:20,611 --> 01:11:23,511
My brother Jonathan,
703
01:11:23,513 --> 01:11:26,914
thy love to me
was wonderful.
704
01:11:27,383 --> 01:11:30,617
How are
the mighty fallen...
705
01:11:30,952 --> 01:11:34,520
And the weapons of war
perished.
706
01:12:30,377 --> 01:12:33,845
This is the word
of the lord of hosts:
707
01:12:33,847 --> 01:12:36,414
"I took you
from the pastures
708
01:12:36,416 --> 01:12:38,482
"and from following
the sheep
709
01:12:38,484 --> 01:12:41,351
"to be prince
over my people Israel.
710
01:12:41,353 --> 01:12:44,520
"I have been with you
wherever you have gone
711
01:12:44,522 --> 01:12:49,658
"and have destroyed all
the enemies in your path.
712
01:12:49,660 --> 01:12:52,360
"I will make you
a great name
713
01:12:52,362 --> 01:12:53,994
"among the great ones
of the earth.
714
01:12:53,996 --> 01:12:56,062
"I will assign a place
for my people in Israel.
715
01:12:56,064 --> 01:12:57,696
"There I will plant them,
716
01:12:57,698 --> 01:13:01,633
and they shall dwell
in their own land."
717
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,200
Why am I brought
before you?
718
01:14:43,202 --> 01:14:44,668
Shall
not the husband
719
01:14:44,670 --> 01:14:47,003
enjoy the company
of his wife?
720
01:14:47,005 --> 01:14:50,573
My husband
is paltiel Ben-laish.
721
01:14:50,575 --> 01:14:52,041
The king knows that.
722
01:14:52,043 --> 01:14:53,442
I am your husband,
723
01:14:53,444 --> 01:14:56,144
your first
and only husband
724
01:14:56,146 --> 01:14:58,980
in the eyes of God.
725
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:06,053
I've never loved
another woman
726
01:15:06,055 --> 01:15:09,656
as I once
loved you.
727
01:15:10,492 --> 01:15:11,924
If you truly cared,
728
01:15:11,926 --> 01:15:15,060
you'd let me go
to the man I love.
729
01:15:15,062 --> 01:15:16,661
You have many wives,
730
01:15:16,663 --> 01:15:19,130
but he has only me.
731
01:15:19,132 --> 01:15:21,632
But I need you.
732
01:15:21,700 --> 01:15:23,800
Indeed you do,
my lord,
733
01:15:23,802 --> 01:15:25,067
as a symbol of unity
734
01:15:25,069 --> 01:15:28,603
between the house of David
and my father's house.
735
01:15:28,605 --> 01:15:33,608
I'm nothing more to you
than a political necessity.
736
01:15:40,083 --> 01:15:44,518
Today, all of Israel
praised the lord,
737
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:46,620
except you.
738
01:15:47,723 --> 01:15:48,722
By your absence,
739
01:15:48,724 --> 01:15:52,158
you insult both your
God and your king.
740
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:53,526
I saw no king.
741
01:15:53,528 --> 01:15:55,561
I saw only
a dancing man,
742
01:15:55,563 --> 01:15:59,064
flaunting his nakedness
in the sight of every--
743
01:15:59,066 --> 01:16:00,231
in the sight of God,
744
01:16:00,233 --> 01:16:05,903
who created man
in the perfection
of his own image.
745
01:16:08,140 --> 01:16:11,074
So your search
is over.
746
01:16:11,676 --> 01:16:14,076
What search?
747
01:16:17,614 --> 01:16:19,280
Behold,
748
01:16:19,282 --> 01:16:22,549
the king of glory,
749
01:16:22,551 --> 01:16:24,684
face to face.
750
01:16:28,589 --> 01:16:30,855
Your other women
are better able
751
01:16:30,857 --> 01:16:33,624
to flatter
your vanity than I.
752
01:18:17,329 --> 01:18:21,631
A love untouched
by human care,
753
01:18:21,633 --> 01:18:24,634
a love that endures forever.
754
01:18:24,636 --> 01:18:27,370
He who has saved us
from our enemies,
755
01:18:27,372 --> 01:18:31,874
who has delivered
Jerusalem into our hands.
756
01:18:32,843 --> 01:18:35,743
How have we repaid him?
757
01:18:37,012 --> 01:18:39,645
By rewarding
ourselves alone
758
01:18:39,647 --> 01:18:44,383
with the wealth
he has bestowed upon us.
759
01:18:44,385 --> 01:18:46,017
I, too, am guilty,
760
01:18:46,019 --> 01:18:47,752
for here I live
761
01:18:47,754 --> 01:18:49,253
in a palace of cedar,
762
01:18:49,255 --> 01:18:52,122
while the ark of God
is housed in a tent.
763
01:18:52,124 --> 01:18:57,961
How then can we demonstrate
our love for him?
764
01:19:03,101 --> 01:19:05,968
I will tell you how.
765
01:19:16,313 --> 01:19:17,912
By building him this,
766
01:19:17,914 --> 01:19:21,048
a great
and glorious temple!
767
01:19:21,050 --> 01:19:24,051
Here on this
holy hill of zion,
768
01:19:24,053 --> 01:19:26,119
in which
his sacred presence
769
01:19:26,121 --> 01:19:28,754
may abide forevermore.
770
01:19:29,890 --> 01:19:32,290
Is there a man among you,
771
01:19:32,292 --> 01:19:34,792
indeed, in this nation,
772
01:19:34,794 --> 01:19:36,727
who would not
gladly give 1/10
773
01:19:36,729 --> 01:19:40,797
of his God-given wealth
to such an endeavor?
774
01:19:59,384 --> 01:20:02,118
Has the lord
considered my request?
775
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:04,086
God doesn't gird
himself about
776
01:20:04,088 --> 01:20:06,054
with the trappings
of kingship.
777
01:20:06,056 --> 01:20:08,489
If he desired
the ark in a temple,
778
01:20:08,491 --> 01:20:12,759
would he not have
commanded Moses
to build him one?
779
01:20:12,761 --> 01:20:16,195
Perhaps he didn't consider
40 years in the wilderness
780
01:20:16,197 --> 01:20:19,331
as either the time or place
for such a venture.
781
01:20:19,333 --> 01:20:22,067
The tent was
intended as a symbol
782
01:20:22,069 --> 01:20:24,069
of simplicity and humility,
783
01:20:24,071 --> 01:20:27,739
the 2 virtues you seem
to have forsaken.
784
01:20:27,741 --> 01:20:30,908
Let the lord
be my judge.
785
01:20:32,811 --> 01:20:35,211
When will you bring
me his answer?
786
01:20:35,213 --> 01:20:36,879
When you've
finished the task
787
01:20:36,881 --> 01:20:38,480
you were chosen
to perform:
788
01:20:38,482 --> 01:20:40,515
Destroy the
heathen nations
789
01:20:40,517 --> 01:20:42,517
that occupy
our lands.
790
01:20:42,519 --> 01:20:44,051
Haven't I done so?
791
01:20:44,053 --> 01:20:46,153
Their armies, not
their inhabitants.
792
01:20:46,155 --> 01:20:48,922
Moses' law commands
that nothing
be left alive.
793
01:20:48,924 --> 01:20:51,758
God's kingdom can't
be brought about
794
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:53,392
by slaughtering
women and children.
795
01:20:53,394 --> 01:20:56,461
Who are you to
question his laws?
796
01:20:56,463 --> 01:20:59,130
A man after
God's own heart.
797
01:20:59,132 --> 01:21:04,068
God gave the law
unto Moses
face to face.
798
01:21:10,843 --> 01:21:13,009
Absalom.
799
01:21:13,011 --> 01:21:14,176
Now it came to pass
800
01:21:14,178 --> 01:21:17,078
that maacah bore David
a daughter called tamar,
801
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:22,450
and amnon, his first-born,
was sick with love for her.
802
01:21:22,452 --> 01:21:23,317
Where's absalom?
803
01:21:23,319 --> 01:21:25,485
Am I my brother's
keeper?
804
01:21:25,487 --> 01:21:28,087
Half-brother. Oh!
805
01:21:28,089 --> 01:21:29,955
Let go!
806
01:21:56,016 --> 01:21:58,282
Father!
807
01:21:58,951 --> 01:21:59,816
Absalom,
808
01:21:59,818 --> 01:22:02,051
have you some
grievance against me?
809
01:22:02,053 --> 01:22:06,355
On behalf of one
of your subjects,
father.
810
01:22:07,424 --> 01:22:10,291
Has he a good case?
811
01:22:10,293 --> 01:22:12,426
An excellent case.
812
01:22:15,864 --> 01:22:20,400
My niece awaits
your presence
in the throne room.
813
01:22:20,402 --> 01:22:21,033
Who?
814
01:22:21,035 --> 01:22:24,269
Why, bathsheba,
my lord.
815
01:22:28,441 --> 01:22:32,976
The petition, father,
will you read it?
816
01:22:33,144 --> 01:22:34,209
Perhaps you and absalom
817
01:22:34,211 --> 01:22:37,679
would care to consider
the other petitions
818
01:22:37,681 --> 01:22:39,213
until my return?
819
01:22:39,215 --> 01:22:40,581
Certainly, my lord.
820
01:22:40,583 --> 01:22:43,984
Shall we begin,
my prince?
821
01:22:46,355 --> 01:22:48,321
Guard.
822
01:23:03,137 --> 01:23:06,037
I've seen you
once before.
823
01:23:06,039 --> 01:23:08,239
I know.
824
01:23:10,042 --> 01:23:12,242
My lord, I'm married.
825
01:23:12,244 --> 01:23:16,145
To captain uriah...
826
01:23:16,147 --> 01:23:19,148
An alien hittite.
827
01:23:19,583 --> 01:23:22,050
He's still my husband.
828
01:23:23,586 --> 01:23:27,220
How long have you been
married to uriah?
829
01:23:27,222 --> 01:23:29,989
5 years, my lord.
830
01:23:30,291 --> 01:23:33,992
And yet you have
no children?
831
01:23:35,595 --> 01:23:38,529
He scorns
to lie with me.
832
01:23:38,531 --> 01:23:41,565
He refuses even
to touch me
833
01:23:41,567 --> 01:23:44,401
except with a whip.
834
01:24:14,399 --> 01:24:17,133
He shall be punished.
835
01:24:18,469 --> 01:24:19,734
A woman has no redress
836
01:24:19,736 --> 01:24:22,103
against her husband,
my lord.
837
01:24:22,105 --> 01:24:23,737
I can endure the pain.
838
01:24:23,739 --> 01:24:28,308
But where's the child
for my suffering?
839
01:24:33,715 --> 01:24:36,716
You shall have him.
840
01:24:36,718 --> 01:24:39,418
No, my lord...
841
01:24:39,420 --> 01:24:42,454
Not while
my husband lives.
842
01:25:19,659 --> 01:25:22,226
Deliver this
to captain joab.
843
01:25:22,228 --> 01:25:24,194
Yes, my lord.
844
01:25:26,731 --> 01:25:28,630
Uriah.
845
01:25:32,569 --> 01:25:35,736
See that joab
receives it in person.
846
01:25:35,738 --> 01:25:39,239
Yes, my lord.
847
01:25:53,388 --> 01:25:55,588
And the messenger
said to David,
848
01:25:55,590 --> 01:25:58,557
"the bowmen
upon the walls of ekron
849
01:25:58,559 --> 01:26:01,159
"fired their arrows
at your servants.
850
01:26:01,161 --> 01:26:03,394
"Among the dead
is uriah the hittite
851
01:26:03,396 --> 01:26:07,264
who had been placed
in the forefront
of the attack."
852
01:26:07,266 --> 01:26:09,432
David said,
853
01:26:09,434 --> 01:26:13,836
"who knows where the angel
of death will strike?"
854
01:26:46,403 --> 01:26:50,238
He'll marry me.
855
01:26:50,707 --> 01:26:53,340
He said so.
856
01:26:53,342 --> 01:26:55,909
(Weeping)
857
01:26:57,946 --> 01:27:00,513
Who? Who said so?
858
01:27:00,515 --> 01:27:02,181
Who did this thing?
859
01:27:02,183 --> 01:27:02,948
Your brother
amnon.
860
01:27:02,950 --> 01:27:06,384
Half-brother.
Half-brother.
861
01:27:06,386 --> 01:27:09,787
Half-brother marry
half-sister.
862
01:27:09,789 --> 01:27:12,222
He will marry me.
863
01:27:12,224 --> 01:27:15,258
Oh, tamar, don't...
864
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:50,359
Absalom.
865
01:27:50,361 --> 01:27:52,427
Forgive me, father.
866
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:21,621
"Wherever hurt is done,
you shall show no mercy.
867
01:28:21,623 --> 01:28:23,856
"You shall take
eye for eye,
868
01:28:23,858 --> 01:28:26,625
"tooth for tooth,
hand for hand,
869
01:28:26,627 --> 01:28:29,594
"burn for burn,
wound for wound,
870
01:28:29,596 --> 01:28:32,263
"strike for strike...
871
01:28:32,265 --> 01:28:35,266
Life for life."
872
01:28:35,935 --> 01:28:39,403
Prince absalom must die.
873
01:28:47,413 --> 01:28:48,879
The law
has long recognized
874
01:28:48,881 --> 01:28:52,349
a brother's right to avenge
his sister's death.
875
01:28:52,351 --> 01:28:54,651
But the princess
is alive.
876
01:28:54,653 --> 01:28:56,786
She is dead!
877
01:28:58,956 --> 01:29:02,023
Both here and here.
878
01:29:21,310 --> 01:29:23,543
Let the king
sentence.
879
01:29:23,545 --> 01:29:26,078
Prince absalom
shall be banished
880
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:28,914
to our estates
in hebron,
881
01:29:28,916 --> 01:29:33,051
there to live
in permanent exile.
882
01:29:50,937 --> 01:29:54,338
May the lord
be with you.
883
01:29:54,340 --> 01:29:56,740
May his light shine
within your heart,
884
01:29:56,742 --> 01:30:00,477
even as you shine
within mine.
885
01:30:17,028 --> 01:30:18,527
Save me, o God,
886
01:30:18,529 --> 01:30:22,998
for the waters
are come in unto my soul.
887
01:30:23,967 --> 01:30:26,600
I sink in deep mire
888
01:30:26,602 --> 01:30:28,969
where there
is no standing.
889
01:30:28,971 --> 01:30:31,938
I am come
into deep waters
890
01:30:31,940 --> 01:30:34,740
where the floods
overflow me.
891
01:30:34,742 --> 01:30:37,776
I am weary of my crying.
892
01:30:37,778 --> 01:30:39,377
My throat is dry.
893
01:30:39,379 --> 01:30:43,714
My eyes fail while
I wait for my God.
894
01:30:43,716 --> 01:30:49,086
I have become a stranger
unto my children.
895
01:31:03,402 --> 01:31:05,835
I would value
your judgment
on a matter.
896
01:31:05,837 --> 01:31:09,004
Since when have
you ever valued
my judgment?
897
01:31:09,006 --> 01:31:12,407
Have your powers
of divination
forsaken you?
898
01:31:12,409 --> 01:31:13,908
It's a civil
petition, David,
899
01:31:13,910 --> 01:31:18,045
concerning a merchant
and one of his servants.
900
01:31:31,093 --> 01:31:35,128
The merchant is a man
of great prominence
901
01:31:35,130 --> 01:31:38,564
who owns large flocks
and herds,
902
01:31:38,566 --> 01:31:41,667
but the servant
on whose behalf
I speak
903
01:31:41,669 --> 01:31:46,705
owned nothing but one
small ewe lamb.
904
01:31:47,441 --> 01:31:49,774
He had reared it
himself,
905
01:31:49,776 --> 01:31:52,777
and it grew up
in his own home.
906
01:31:52,779 --> 01:31:55,880
It was as an
only child to him.
907
01:31:55,882 --> 01:31:58,082
It ate from his dish,
908
01:31:58,084 --> 01:31:59,450
drank from his cup,
909
01:31:59,452 --> 01:32:05,122
and even slept
in his arms.
910
01:32:05,124 --> 01:32:06,456
Not long ago,
911
01:32:06,458 --> 01:32:09,659
a traveler came
to the merchant's house
912
01:32:09,661 --> 01:32:11,060
to dine with him.
913
01:32:11,062 --> 01:32:12,828
The merchant
was too selfish
914
01:32:12,830 --> 01:32:16,131
to take a sheep
from his own flock
915
01:32:16,133 --> 01:32:17,132
to serve his guest,
916
01:32:17,134 --> 01:32:21,669
so he took
his servant's lamb...
917
01:32:21,671 --> 01:32:24,538
And killed it...
918
01:32:24,540 --> 01:32:27,073
And served that instead.
919
01:32:27,075 --> 01:32:28,707
As the lord lives,
920
01:32:28,709 --> 01:32:33,211
the man who did this
deserves to die.
921
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,614
Thou art the man.
922
01:32:37,183 --> 01:32:40,717
This is the word
of the lord thy God.
923
01:32:40,719 --> 01:32:43,886
"I anointed you
king over Israel
924
01:32:43,888 --> 01:32:46,955
"and gave you
the daughters of Israel
925
01:32:46,957 --> 01:32:47,889
"for your own.
926
01:32:47,891 --> 01:32:51,092
"I have blessed you
with honor and glory.
927
01:32:51,094 --> 01:32:54,528
"I have given you
silver and gold,
928
01:32:54,530 --> 01:32:55,562
"the treasures of kings.
929
01:32:55,564 --> 01:33:00,266
"Why then did you
murder my servant uriah
930
01:33:00,268 --> 01:33:02,601
"and take his wife--
931
01:33:02,603 --> 01:33:07,939
his only wife--
to be your own?"
932
01:33:17,583 --> 01:33:19,749
Ohh.
933
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:32,161
Do with me
what you will, lord.
934
01:33:32,163 --> 01:33:36,231
Only do not
take her from me.
935
01:33:37,634 --> 01:33:38,833
You shall not die,
936
01:33:38,835 --> 01:33:42,703
nor shall uriah's wife
be taken from you.
937
01:33:42,705 --> 01:33:44,771
As punishment
for your great sin,
938
01:33:44,773 --> 01:33:48,541
the first child born
to you shall not survive,
939
01:33:48,543 --> 01:33:54,213
and you will never again
have rest from the sword.
940
01:34:02,957 --> 01:34:05,958
Wash away my guilt.
941
01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:09,628
Cleanse me of my sin.
942
01:34:09,963 --> 01:34:11,062
Wash me,
943
01:34:11,064 --> 01:34:15,833
that I may become
whiter than snow.
944
01:34:22,274 --> 01:34:26,609
And the first child
of David and bathsheba
945
01:34:26,611 --> 01:34:28,277
lived only 7 days.
946
01:34:28,279 --> 01:34:31,079
Then bathsheba bore
a second child, a son,
947
01:34:31,081 --> 01:34:33,815
and the lord loved him.
948
01:34:33,817 --> 01:34:34,682
The prophet Nathan
949
01:34:34,684 --> 01:34:39,319
says the lord has chosen
Solomon to be your heir.
950
01:34:39,321 --> 01:34:43,289
Might I urge you
to name him so.
951
01:34:43,291 --> 01:34:47,960
Prince absalom
is my oldest son.
952
01:34:47,962 --> 01:34:49,027
But, my lord,
953
01:34:49,029 --> 01:34:50,595
absalom's not only
in exile--
954
01:34:50,597 --> 01:34:54,065
let the king's
wish prevail.
955
01:35:13,619 --> 01:35:15,719
Is it not
a fine-looking son?
956
01:35:15,721 --> 01:35:18,988
Solomon found favor
in the sight of David,
957
01:35:18,990 --> 01:35:21,790
but his love remained
bound to absalom,
958
01:35:21,792 --> 01:35:25,059
and his heart went
out to him in longing,
959
01:35:25,061 --> 01:35:29,263
and absalom remained
in exile for 3 years.
960
01:35:29,265 --> 01:35:32,165
Everyone that was
in distress,
961
01:35:32,167 --> 01:35:34,033
everyone
that was in debt,
962
01:35:34,035 --> 01:35:36,702
and everyone
that was discontented
963
01:35:36,704 --> 01:35:38,136
gathered themselves
unto him.
964
01:35:38,138 --> 01:35:41,072
No matter
how good a man's case is,
965
01:35:41,074 --> 01:35:44,275
he'll receive
no audience with the king
966
01:35:44,277 --> 01:35:46,143
unless he pays a bribe.
967
01:35:46,145 --> 01:35:47,878
Even that may not help,
968
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:50,046
for the king's judgment
means nothing
969
01:35:50,048 --> 01:35:53,215
without the approval of
uriah's widow, bathsheba.
970
01:35:53,217 --> 01:35:57,419
If only I were made
a judge in the land,
971
01:35:57,421 --> 01:35:59,187
I would see
that everyone
972
01:35:59,189 --> 01:36:03,157
who brought a petition
received justice!
973
01:36:12,801 --> 01:36:14,834
Promise.
974
01:36:17,071 --> 01:36:20,173
All the pillars
should be octagonal,
975
01:36:20,175 --> 01:36:20,973
like this one,
976
01:36:20,975 --> 01:36:24,142
instead of round,
like that one.
977
01:36:24,144 --> 01:36:25,243
What do you think?
978
01:36:25,245 --> 01:36:27,845
Every day he stands
in the marketplace
979
01:36:27,847 --> 01:36:29,246
preaching
to the people,
980
01:36:29,248 --> 01:36:31,881
stealing
their affections.
981
01:36:31,883 --> 01:36:34,216
Well?
982
01:36:35,786 --> 01:36:37,418
Um...That one.
983
01:36:37,420 --> 01:36:38,419
The round ones?
984
01:36:38,421 --> 01:36:43,157
The rabble are flocking
to his side, David.
985
01:36:43,159 --> 01:36:46,827
Some say he's
planning a rebellion.
986
01:36:46,829 --> 01:36:47,160
Why?
987
01:36:47,162 --> 01:36:49,896
I would've thought
that's obvious!
988
01:36:49,898 --> 01:36:52,131
Why the round ones?
989
01:36:52,133 --> 01:36:53,799
David, listen to me!
990
01:36:53,801 --> 01:36:56,301
Absalom's a traitor
who must be--
991
01:36:56,303 --> 01:36:57,535
absalom is my son!
992
01:36:57,537 --> 01:37:01,305
Any man who dares
call my son a traitor
993
01:37:01,307 --> 01:37:02,839
without the
supporting evidence
994
01:37:02,841 --> 01:37:06,509
shall himself meet
the fate of a traitor
995
01:37:06,511 --> 01:37:08,210
by my own hand!
996
01:37:08,212 --> 01:37:10,512
I am giving you
the evidence.
997
01:37:10,514 --> 01:37:12,981
"Some say" is
not evidence.
998
01:37:12,983 --> 01:37:14,415
On the morning
of passover,
999
01:37:14,417 --> 01:37:18,485
your father will
proclaim prince Solomon
1000
01:37:18,487 --> 01:37:22,589
as heir to
the throne of Israel.
1001
01:37:24,259 --> 01:37:27,393
He swore to me he'd
never name another.
1002
01:37:27,395 --> 01:37:31,029
His promises
mean nothing.
1003
01:37:37,504 --> 01:37:39,237
You once loved him.
1004
01:37:39,239 --> 01:37:42,440
Why have you
turned against him?
1005
01:37:42,442 --> 01:37:46,143
How many men
can you muster?
1006
01:37:46,145 --> 01:37:50,347
Because I love my king
beyond all others,
1007
01:37:50,349 --> 01:37:54,918
and it breaks
my heart, too.
1008
01:37:58,323 --> 01:38:02,124
Love blinds you,
my friend.
1009
01:38:04,528 --> 01:38:07,595
There are 1,000 supporters
in Jerusalem alone.
1010
01:38:07,597 --> 01:38:11,165
More than sufficient
for the task.
1011
01:38:11,167 --> 01:38:14,368
Strike now, my prince,
1012
01:38:14,370 --> 01:38:20,006
or regret it
for the rest
of your life.
1013
01:38:22,176 --> 01:38:24,543
Who is absalom,
father?
1014
01:38:24,545 --> 01:38:29,481
A boy who was
once like you.
1015
01:38:29,483 --> 01:38:32,183
Is he your enemy?
1016
01:38:34,987 --> 01:38:37,387
Perhaps
I am his...
1017
01:38:37,389 --> 01:38:41,124
But he could
never be mine.
1018
01:38:43,061 --> 01:38:45,528
Jerusalem!
1019
01:39:12,623 --> 01:39:14,956
For the sword
of the lord...
1020
01:39:14,958 --> 01:39:17,591
And for David!
1021
01:40:59,628 --> 01:41:01,027
Whoa.
1022
01:41:01,029 --> 01:41:04,263
(Horn blows)
1023
01:41:04,265 --> 01:41:06,098
Turn back!
1024
01:41:20,647 --> 01:41:22,680
Keep firing!
1025
01:42:09,328 --> 01:42:10,794
Hyah!
1026
01:42:20,539 --> 01:42:22,171
Hyah!
1027
01:42:23,207 --> 01:42:24,639
Aah!
1028
01:43:10,553 --> 01:43:12,686
Aah!
1029
01:43:54,796 --> 01:43:56,695
My lord!
1030
01:43:57,731 --> 01:43:59,864
My lord!
1031
01:44:00,833 --> 01:44:01,565
My lord!
1032
01:44:01,567 --> 01:44:04,234
Is the young man
absalom safe?
1033
01:44:04,236 --> 01:44:05,501
Praise be to God,
1034
01:44:05,503 --> 01:44:06,568
for he's delivered you
1035
01:44:06,570 --> 01:44:08,770
from all those that
rose up against you!
1036
01:44:08,772 --> 01:44:10,738
Is the young man
absalom safe?
1037
01:44:10,740 --> 01:44:14,842
May all my lord's enemies
be as that young man.
1038
01:44:14,844 --> 01:44:16,343
All praise be to God!
1039
01:44:16,345 --> 01:44:18,345
All praise be to God!
1040
01:44:18,347 --> 01:44:20,347
All praise be to God!
1041
01:44:20,349 --> 01:44:23,316
All praise be to God!
1042
01:44:48,643 --> 01:44:51,377
Oh, my son.
1043
01:44:53,347 --> 01:44:55,313
My son.
1044
01:44:55,315 --> 01:44:56,714
Absalom...
1045
01:44:56,716 --> 01:44:58,782
My son.
1046
01:45:03,355 --> 01:45:05,455
My son!
1047
01:45:06,624 --> 01:45:09,358
My son absalom.
1048
01:45:13,297 --> 01:45:17,766
Would God
I had died for you!
1049
01:45:21,671 --> 01:45:23,337
Absalom...
1050
01:45:23,339 --> 01:45:25,372
My son.
1051
01:45:25,707 --> 01:45:27,339
My son.
1052
01:45:27,341 --> 01:45:29,541
My son.
1053
01:45:33,647 --> 01:45:36,648
Why does the king
lie in the dust
1054
01:45:36,650 --> 01:45:39,050
like a beggar
at his gate?
1055
01:45:39,052 --> 01:45:40,985
Why weep
for your enemies
1056
01:45:40,987 --> 01:45:43,887
and scorn those
who serve you?
1057
01:45:43,889 --> 01:45:47,290
When will you learn
to obey the lord
1058
01:45:47,292 --> 01:45:49,659
instead
of your emotions?
1059
01:45:53,531 --> 01:45:55,397
He has forsaken me.
1060
01:45:55,399 --> 01:45:59,033
David, it is you who
have forsaken him.
1061
01:45:59,035 --> 01:46:01,535
You've continuously
disobeyed his laws
1062
01:46:01,537 --> 01:46:04,971
and have stubbornly
presumed to know
his will
1063
01:46:04,973 --> 01:46:08,441
better than we,
his prophets.
1064
01:46:09,977 --> 01:46:12,777
I am beyond care.
1065
01:46:13,412 --> 01:46:15,912
I will go
to my grave
1066
01:46:15,914 --> 01:46:19,515
mourning for my son.
1067
01:46:25,556 --> 01:46:27,656
I shall go to him...
1068
01:46:27,658 --> 01:46:32,761
For he shall never
come back to me.
1069
01:46:50,413 --> 01:46:54,381
You have
your will of me.
1070
01:46:57,652 --> 01:47:00,052
So be it.
1071
01:47:21,508 --> 01:47:22,373
Fear the lord
1072
01:47:22,375 --> 01:47:26,110
and serve him in truth
with all your heart.
1073
01:47:26,112 --> 01:47:31,615
Consider the great things
he has done for you.
1074
01:47:33,418 --> 01:47:36,118
Aah!
1075
01:47:40,557 --> 01:47:42,523
Aah!
1076
01:47:48,030 --> 01:47:51,464
Aah!
1077
01:48:00,775 --> 01:48:02,941
Aah!
1078
01:48:04,010 --> 01:48:06,977
And, behold,
it came to pass
1079
01:48:06,979 --> 01:48:08,645
that David
sinned no more.
1080
01:48:08,647 --> 01:48:11,981
And the lord smiled
upon his servant David
1081
01:48:11,983 --> 01:48:13,749
and strengthened his hand
1082
01:48:13,751 --> 01:48:17,786
and gave him victory
over his enemies
1083
01:48:17,788 --> 01:48:19,654
wheresoever he went.
1084
01:48:19,656 --> 01:48:22,657
And David
smote the philistines
1085
01:48:22,659 --> 01:48:24,158
and conquered them
1086
01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:25,792
and drove them
into the sea.
1087
01:48:25,794 --> 01:48:29,495
And he went forth
and smote the moabites
1088
01:48:29,497 --> 01:48:32,564
and the ammonites
and the edomites
1089
01:48:32,566 --> 01:48:37,168
and put them all
to the sword.
1090
01:48:51,684 --> 01:48:56,053
And David ruled
over the kingdom of Israel
1091
01:48:56,055 --> 01:48:56,987
for 40 years,
1092
01:48:56,989 --> 01:48:59,990
and he was a lamp
unto his people
1093
01:48:59,992 --> 01:49:04,728
like the light
of the sun.
1094
01:49:06,865 --> 01:49:11,467
And when David was old
and stricken in years,
1095
01:49:11,469 --> 01:49:13,135
he caused
the prophet Nathan
1096
01:49:13,137 --> 01:49:15,237
to anoint Solomon,
his son,
1097
01:49:15,239 --> 01:49:18,573
king over Israel.
1098
01:49:19,509 --> 01:49:21,609
Mark this above all:
1099
01:49:21,611 --> 01:49:26,213
Be guided by the instincts
of your own heart...
1100
01:49:26,215 --> 01:49:30,116
No matter what
the prophets tell you.
1101
01:49:30,118 --> 01:49:32,585
For it's through
the heart,
1102
01:49:32,587 --> 01:49:35,187
and the heart alone,
1103
01:49:35,189 --> 01:49:38,256
that God speaks to man.
1104
01:49:44,764 --> 01:49:47,264
Must you record
every word I utter?
1105
01:49:47,266 --> 01:49:50,667
It's for the book
of Samuel, my lord.
1106
01:49:50,669 --> 01:49:53,102
You ordered it
yourself.
1107
01:49:54,872 --> 01:49:57,906
May the lord
bless you.
1108
01:49:57,908 --> 01:50:01,175
May his light shine
within your heart
1109
01:50:01,177 --> 01:50:04,811
even as you shine
within mine.
1110
01:50:12,287 --> 01:50:15,254
I am waiting, lord.
1111
01:50:15,689 --> 01:50:19,123
Hide your face no more.
