- Historical... Spiritual... Human... this
portrait of a thrice anointed king is a moving journey
back into the time of the living Bible.
Born around 1000 BCE, David was the youngest son of Jesse of
Bethlehem. A shepherd boy, David learned survival protecting
the family flocks from wild beast. When the Lord's favor turned
from King Saul, the Prophet Samuel secretly anointed David as
the future king of Israel.
-
- With intelligence and charm - but also
ruthlessly ambitious - David at first served Saul as harpist
and armor-bearer. Then as the baffle with the Philistins went
against them, David stepped up to go into single combat against
Goliath. Armed only with a sling and his faith in God, David
slew the giant with a single stone. With his popularity outshining
the King's, Saul sought to kill David, but the lad escaped to
the wilderness. Upon Saul's death, David was publicly anointed
- first as King of Israel then as King of the united monarchy
of Israel and Judah. Seeking a new center for his newly united
realm, David captured the hilltop fortress of Zion, brought the
Ark of God's Covenant there, and made Jerusalem the eternal capital
of the Jewish people.
- After serving God and the nation for forty
years, David died at the age of seventy "and was buried
in the city of David."
-
- Saul, Samuel, Hiram of Tyre. Abigail,
Bath-sheba, Jonathan, Michal, Joab, Absalom, Amnon and
Tamar, Amalekites, Ammonites and Syrans, these are
just some of the figures and peoples you will meet in this astonishing
film.
Approximately 60 minutes.
