00:00:00You look like two birds who have hatched out a nest full of snakes.
00:00:05Oh.
00:00:07You may speak freely. I have no secrets from Joachim.
00:00:11We have come to take counsel with Your Highness.
00:00:15About what?
00:00:17I am the commander of the host, not a minister of state.
00:00:20It concerns the king.
00:00:23Then why not consult with me?
00:00:25I am the commander of the host, not a minister of state.
00:00:29Then why not consult with him?
00:00:31Because he will not listen.
00:00:33Grave criticism is being brought against him by the people.
00:00:37Who would dare to murmur against the great Solomon?
00:00:40His association with the Sheeban queen has developed into an open scandal.
00:00:45Worse, he has even brought this pagan woman to live within the palace,
00:00:50daring to install her in an apartment adjoining his own private chambers.
00:00:55Well, that is his affair, not mine.
00:00:58We thought, perhaps, if you were to talk to him privately, reason with him,
00:01:03point out that his conduct is a matter of grave concern not only to the high priest,
00:01:07but to the prophet and the council.
00:01:09I presume to admonish His Majesty?
00:01:13You forget Hesri. He is the king. The king can do no wrong.
00:01:17Well, something must be done.
00:01:19Not by me. You are his chancellor, Hesri.
00:01:23And you his high priest, Sado.
00:01:26You do something. You reason with him.
00:01:30We had hoped for the cooperation of Your Highness.
00:01:35You have it. My sympathies and my best wishes.
00:01:41We thank you for receiving us, Highness.
00:01:43Not at all. Not at all.
00:01:45Always at your service.
00:01:48It could not have served your interests better
00:01:50if Your Highness had arranged for this visit of Sheba's.
00:01:54The priesthood is aroused against him. The council condemns him.
00:01:58Even the people talk openly of his shame.
00:02:01Your Highness is reflecting my own thoughts.
00:02:05I would be a fool to ignore such an opportunity.
00:02:08You might have to wait forever for another moment like this.
00:02:11I will solve Hesri's and Zadok's problem for them,
00:02:14and at the same time my own.
00:02:17Or rather, this is a... this is a problem that you, Joab,
00:02:21with a little help, will solve.
00:02:24I await your command, Highness.
00:02:41Your Majesty commanded me to attend upon her.
00:02:44It took you long enough to get here.
00:02:46I sent Takian to bring you an hour ago.
00:02:49Ten minutes ago, if Your Majesty pleases.
00:02:52Come in. Don't stand there arguing with me.
00:02:57In what way can I serve Your Majesty?
00:03:00You can arrange for my safe conduct out of Israel.
00:03:04I will not allow you to do so.
00:03:07You can arrange for my safe conduct out of Israel.
00:03:12Stop looking at me like that. Do as I tell you.
00:03:15But when, Your Majesty?
00:03:17Now. Today. This minute.
00:03:20Your Majesty will pardon me if I seem shocked, but...
00:03:23Do I have to consult you first concerning everything I wish to do?
00:03:27Your Majesty would go without accomplishing her purpose in coming here.
00:03:32Permit me to decide the question of my comings and goings.
00:03:36Your Majesty will forgive me
00:03:38if I venture to touch upon her personal private affairs, but...
00:03:42Get to the point, Balto.
00:03:45I have sensed a change in Your Majesty.
00:03:48A softening. A desire to evade reality.
00:03:51You are accusing me of being in love with him.
00:03:54Is that it?
00:03:56I hope for Your Majesty's own sake that such is not the case.
00:04:02And if such is the case,
00:04:05do you deny me the right
00:04:07for the first time in my life to be human?
00:04:11May I remind Your Majesty
00:04:13that you cannot put your personal feelings,
00:04:15no matter what they are,
00:04:17above your commitment to the pharaoh and the good of your country?
00:04:20Don't lecture me, Balto.
00:04:22It was Your Majesty who once told me
00:04:24that you could not afford the luxury of being a woman,
00:04:27that always you were forced to remember, above all else,
00:04:30that you are a queen,
00:04:33that your only love, your only thought must be your duty.
00:04:37With that in mind, Your Majesty came to Jerusalem
00:04:40in search of a means to destroy an enemy whom you once hated.
00:04:46Yes, Balto.
00:04:48I have been trying to evade reality.
00:04:51I have found myself trying to forget the purpose for which I came
00:04:57as one who tried to forget an evil dream.
00:05:01I have been reluctant to make an end of him.
00:05:06The most merciful way to kill
00:05:08is to thrust quickly and strongly with a knife.
00:05:11But it seems to me that we are no nearer a kill
00:05:14than we were before we came.
00:05:17You are wrong, Balto.
00:05:19I have known for days how to destroy Solomon.
00:05:24Suppose I get his permission
00:05:26to hold the rights of Ragon upon the soil of Israel.
00:05:30To set up a pagan god in the face of the great Jehovah.
00:05:35Their one god who commands the Israelites
00:05:38to have no other god before him.
00:05:41That would cause more than angry murmurings against him.
00:05:45The priests and the people would rise up against Solomon.
00:05:49Yes, Balto.
00:05:51His own people would accomplish his end.
00:05:55Are you satisfied now
00:05:57that I am still the Queen of Sheba?
00:06:04Majesty.
00:06:25How many times shall I tell you that I love you?
00:06:29Over and over.
00:06:31Until you make me believe it.
00:06:36I will.
00:06:40But you have known so many loves.
00:06:43I will take you by the hand.
00:06:45And in the temple before all Israel
00:06:48I'll pledge you my love and marriage.
00:06:51To shut me away in your harem?
00:06:54To share your love?
00:06:56No, to share my throne with you.
00:07:01You honor me.
00:07:03But I am already a queen.
00:07:05We'll join our lands as we'll join our lives.
00:07:09A dream that can never be.
00:07:12Too much stands between us.
00:07:14Nothing must stand between us.
00:07:16Not even our gods?
00:07:20I knew this moment would come
00:07:22for the things we believe in are not the same.
00:07:27I had hoped that in time you'd come to accept Jehovah.
00:07:30As king of Israel
00:07:32would you abandon the God of your people for mine?
00:07:39Still I dared hope.
00:07:42My love.
00:07:44I must leave Israel.
00:07:46Why? Why?
00:07:48I cannot let you go.
00:07:50The time has come for the yearly feast of Ragan.
00:07:53Can you grant me permission to hold it here?
00:07:56In Israel?
00:07:58It will be a sacrilege.
00:08:01Then I must go.
00:08:04To celebrate it elsewhere.
00:08:06You see?
00:08:08You cannot banish what stands between us.
00:08:12No, wait.
00:08:14Listen to me.
00:08:16There must be a way to...
00:08:18No!
00:08:21Listen to me.
00:08:23There must be a way to...
00:08:25No!
00:08:51Help!
00:08:53Help! The king!
00:08:55Help! God!
00:08:57Josiah!
00:08:59Josiah! God!
00:09:21Joab.
00:09:29Are you safe, sire?
00:09:38We'll deliver him to the one who sent him.
00:09:40Come on.
00:09:42Thank all the gods you are not harmed.
00:09:46For the first time in my life,
00:09:48I...
00:09:50I had no thought for myself.
00:09:53I feared only for him.
00:10:12Two men that way.
00:10:14The rest follow me.
00:10:42Are you expecting me to plead for mercy from you?
00:10:44In the past, I have overlooked your hatred of me
00:10:46because of your great value to Israel
00:10:48and because I pledged our father never to turn against you.
00:10:50I ask for no such pledge.
00:10:52But tonight, you raised your hand against the life of Israel.
00:10:55You and your sheeban slut
00:10:57have defiled the fair name of Israel.
00:10:59I sought only to preserve our country
00:11:01from your contamination.
00:11:05Only because the blood of David
00:11:07flows through your veins as well as through mine,
00:11:09I grant you your life.
00:11:11But I banish you from Israel forever.
00:11:13I suppose I should be grateful to you for your generosity,
00:11:15but you should be more concerned
00:11:17with the saving of your own life
00:11:19if it has not already been lost to the poison of Sheba.
00:11:21Remove him, Josiah.
00:11:23Take him.
00:11:35I charge you, Solomon,
00:11:37to cleanse yourself of this iniquity
00:11:39that you have permitted to spawn in Israel,
00:11:41abjure this woman and her idolatries,
00:11:43tear down the obscene abomination she has erected.
00:11:45I have given her permission to hold a sacred right
00:11:47of her own religion
00:11:49in the privacy of the veil of Seth.
00:11:51A pagan riffle, an orgy!
00:11:53I have no apology to make for what I have done.
00:11:55As I have commanded, so shall it be.
00:11:57You have broken God's covenant
00:11:59and his commandment.
00:12:01Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
00:12:03Thou shalt not make unto thyself
00:12:05any graven images.
00:12:07Thou shalt not kill,
00:12:09but murder was attempted against me.
00:12:11If Sheba had not escaped,
00:12:13the assassins would not have spared her life.
00:12:15With the permission I have granted her
00:12:17is poor compensation for the crime attempted against her.
00:12:19It seems that in your lust
00:12:21for this woman
00:12:23you have lost your reason.
00:12:25Choose your words carefully, Ezrai.
00:12:27It is love I have for her.
00:12:29It was out of love
00:12:31that I offered to share the throne with her.
00:12:33And out of love
00:12:35I will end her ritual.
00:12:37Hear me, Solomon.
00:12:39I have heard all I want to hear from you, prophet.
00:12:41Then hear the voice of God.
00:12:45The royal raiment will be stripped from you
00:12:47when you will be cast forth.
00:12:49You will cry out your repentance in the streets,
00:12:51but the ears and hearts of your people
00:12:53will be closed against you.
00:12:55And my ears are closed to cackling priests
00:12:57and mumbling old men.
00:12:59I will show you I am king in Israel,
00:13:01not you.
00:13:05Woe unto you, Solomon.
00:13:35Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler! Rattler!

00:14:05Rattler!
00:14:36Hear us, Oragon, god of love, giver of life!
00:14:42Let thy spirit enter into our bodies.
00:14:46Endow our men with strength and vitality.
00:14:50Endow our women with endless fruitfulness.
00:15:36Rattler! Rattler!
00:15:40Rattler! Rattler!
00:15:47Rattler! Rattler!
00:15:54My door was closed.
00:15:57Must you intrude upon my privacy?
00:16:00Can you shut out your conscience by closing the door?
00:16:03Say what you must, then please leave me alone.
00:16:07I come seeking the man I once knew.
00:16:10The man who was noble, gentle and kind.
00:16:14The man who walked with God.
00:16:16Some mere words, Abishag.
00:16:18I entreat you to listen.
00:16:20When I was a child, you were the world and I adored you.
00:16:24But time passed and love changed even as I did.
00:16:29My love became that of a woman for a man.
00:16:33But the man became a king.
00:16:36And in his eyes, the woman was still a child.
00:16:53I know how strongly it calls to you.
00:16:56Listen to your people, their love calls to you.
00:16:59As I call in my love.
00:17:01Listen to them, if not to me.
00:17:04Whether you or my people approve, I must go.
00:17:07You cannot go.
00:17:09Do not destroy yourself.
00:17:11I beg of you.
00:17:31I beg of you.
00:18:01I beg of you.
00:18:31I beg of you.
00:19:02Abishag!
00:19:23Abishag!
00:19:31Abishag!
00:20:01Abishag!
00:20:32Lord God, hear the prayer of thy servant.
00:20:36Mine was not the strength to save my Lord Solomon from himself.
00:20:41But thine is the power.
00:20:43Let not thy wrath descend upon him.
00:20:47Look into his heart.
00:20:49Let not your wrath descend upon him.
00:20:52Let not your wrath descend upon him.
00:20:55Let not your wrath descend upon him.
00:20:57Look into his heart and pity him.
00:21:02But if it be thy will to punish him,
00:21:05visit it upon me in his head.
00:21:28Abishag!
00:21:33Abishag!
00:21:35Abishag!

00:24:24Oh, no.
00:24:43Why?
00:24:47The sin was mine!
00:24:49Why did you not strike me?
00:24:51I warned you, Solomon.
00:24:53The hand of God is upon you.
00:24:55The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:26The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:28The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:30The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:32The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:34The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:36The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:38The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:40The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:42The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:44The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:46The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:48The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:50The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:52The hand of God is upon you.
00:25:55Giddy-up.
00:26:13Majesty, you must rest.
00:26:17I cannot rest, Aga.
00:26:25I have come to ask Your Majesty's permission
00:26:27to arrange for your immediate departure out of Israel.
00:26:32Yes.
00:26:33Let us go, quickly.
00:26:36There is no reason for us to remain
00:26:39now that I have accomplished my purpose.
00:26:46Your Majesty should not reproach herself over what has happened.
00:26:49It was nothing more than a sudden violent storm.
00:26:52It is not the first time lightning has dealt death and destruction.
00:26:55Nor will it be the last.
00:26:58Was it nothing more than a coincidence?
00:27:03Surely, Your Majesty cannot believe what the Israelites are saying
00:27:06that it was a sign of the anger and revenge of their God.
00:27:11I no longer know what I do believe.
00:27:14Oh, Majesty, you're overwrought.
00:27:16Yes, the strain of the last few days has affected us all.
00:27:20But this is your hour of triumph.
00:27:22The Pharaoh will rejoice in your victory over Solomon in Israel.
00:27:25Sheba can be proud of her queen.
00:27:30I am very proud of myself.
00:27:33I have earned my reward from Egypt.
00:27:36We will have our port on the Red Sea.
00:27:39We will have more gold, more power, more everything.
00:27:43Because I have betrayed a great man
00:27:46who trusted me.
00:27:48Who loved me beyond all else.
00:28:18Here comes the Sheban.
00:28:25The Sheban.
00:28:27Come away.
00:28:33Your Majesty understands that it is not a request
00:28:36that you attend this meeting at the council.
00:28:39It is a command from the elders of the tribes.
00:28:44I have no wish to evade what they have to say to me.
00:29:07You should not have taken the risk of coming here.
00:29:10If I had not come now,
00:29:12I might have lost the courage to come at all.
00:29:20Once you asked me for truth,
00:29:23and I answered you with truth.
00:29:26But I made it sound like a lie to deceive you.
00:29:30For I was a friend of the Pharaoh and an enemy of Israel,
00:29:34and I came here out of hatred to destroy you.
00:29:39Had I known this the day you arrived in Jerusalem,
00:29:43it would have changed nothing.
00:29:46Mine is the greater guilt.
00:29:49For I have known from the first where you would lead,
00:29:53where I would follow.
00:29:59But why did you not just go, without explanations?
00:30:03Because I love you.
00:30:06What I have done I cannot undo.
00:30:08Do with me what you will,
00:30:11but this you must believe.
00:30:14My love is not a lie.
00:30:37Think not to appease the wrath of Israel with words of remorse.
00:30:41Neither will God's anger be turned aside.
00:30:44I will speak no words in my defense.
00:30:47What could you say, in view of your transgressions?
00:30:50Because of you, dissension fills the land.
00:30:53The unity of the nation is sundered.
00:31:00Even as this,
00:31:03the symbol of its oneness is broken into fragments.
00:31:20The elders of the tribes deny you as their king and depart from you.
00:31:24The Lord God will smite you into the dust,
00:31:28and his people will praise his name.
00:31:31So be it.
00:32:02The End
00:32:19Folly is that on great heights,
00:32:23and that which has been done is that which shall be done.
00:32:27Who knows what is good for a man in his life,
00:32:32his vain life which he spends as a shadow.
00:32:38Vanity of vanities.
00:32:41All is vanity.
00:32:48But if ye turn away and forsake my statutes,
00:32:52then will I pluck them up by the roots,
00:32:55then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them.
00:32:59And this house which is high
00:33:02shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it.
00:33:06So that he shall say,
00:33:08Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land and unto this house?
00:33:12And it shall be answered,
00:33:14Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers,
00:33:18which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,
00:33:22and laid hold on other gods,
00:33:25and worshipped them, and served them.
00:33:28Therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
00:33:35The elders of the tribes have denounced Solomon,
00:33:38and the captains of the host have returned to their own provinces.
00:33:41This is the time to strike, Majesty.
00:33:44All Israel is in turmoil, and Solomon stands alone.
00:33:48It seems that your information is more accurate than mine.
00:33:52Has not the Queen of Sheba given you a full report on the situation in Jerusalem?
00:33:57I have been wondering. A waiting word from her.
00:34:01You mean she has told you nothing of what I have reported to you?
00:34:05Nothing.
00:34:07Perhaps in the joys of her new love she has forgotten her obligation to you,
00:34:11and finds her alliance with Solomon more to her liking.
00:34:16You have told me everything I should know,
00:34:19excepting your price for my support of you against your brother.
00:34:25I want the crown of Israel. It has always been mine.
00:34:30And command of the army that you send against Solomon.
00:34:36I grant it.
00:34:38But there's one thing I want from you.
00:34:42You will be the instrument of my punishment of Sheba,
00:34:46for her betrayal of me.
00:34:52On that, Majesty, you can rely.
00:34:58Hail to the new king of Israel!
00:35:01Hail to the new king of Israel!
00:35:11Hail to the new king of Israel!
00:35:20Can your brother equal such strength?
00:35:23He will be able to gather only a handful of followers.
00:35:27We will strike quickly.
00:35:29The victory must be decisive.
00:35:42How many do they number?
00:35:44Thousands.
00:35:46And you saw them cross over the border?
00:35:48Yes, Majesty. Column from horizon to horizon.
00:35:56It was to be expected eventually.
00:36:04We'll go out and face the Egyptians.
00:36:07Give the orders, Josiah.
00:36:10Gather what forces you can.
00:36:13Yes, sir.
00:36:30With these, we hope to stem the Egyptian horde.
00:36:34My father David faced Goliath with nothing more than a stone and a shepherd's sling.
00:36:38God was with David.
00:36:41Forgive me, sir.
00:36:43There is nothing to forgive.
00:36:45All Israel knows that God has abandoned the son of David.
00:36:49Hail to the new king of Israel!
00:36:53Hail to the new king of Israel!
00:36:56Hail to the new king of Israel!
00:36:59Hail to the new king of Israel!
00:37:02Hail to the new king of Israel!
00:37:05Majesty, you let him go without a word of farewell.
00:37:09What could I have said to him?
00:37:14How could I have told him that I carry his child?
00:37:19How could I have told him that I carry his child?
00:37:31Stop! Stop!
00:37:44Heiner, the enemy is in sight.
00:37:46At what distance?
00:37:48Within one hour's march.
00:37:50Then they have traveled ten leagues since dawn, and we have traveled one.
00:37:55They are spent and exhausted, and we are still fresh.
00:37:59Two hours yet before the sun sets.
00:38:02Deploy your men. Give the order.
00:38:04We want every man, horse, chariot, hidden from Solomon's view.
00:38:09And when he rides into the trap, our attack will hit him from every quarter.
00:38:14Now deploy for attack!
00:38:17Deploy for attack!
00:38:20Take your positions!
00:38:23Deploy for attack!
00:38:47Sire, our men are spent. Shall we call rest?
00:38:50They will rest tonight at the dunes of Saladar.
00:38:53There we will intention away the enemy.
00:38:56Let the battle be joined as far from Jerusalem as possible.
00:39:04Sire, look men on the hill.
00:39:07Hold the column.
00:39:09Halt!
00:39:18Shumanites!
00:39:24They bear a flag of friendship.
00:39:31Ahab! We come to stand with the king.
00:39:37Why do you offer me your support in this dark hour?
00:39:40Is it because your hatred for the Egyptians is greater than your hatred for me?
00:39:44We come in memory of the love my daughter Abishag gave to you.
00:39:53Then we will honour that memory.
00:39:56God willing.
00:39:58All in behind!
00:40:02Josiah, forward at the trot!
00:40:05Forward!
00:40:14Forward!
00:40:45Stop the attack!
00:40:48Attack!
00:40:51Attack!
00:41:02Form a circle!
00:41:05Form a circle!
00:41:08Form a circle!
00:41:11Form a circle!
00:41:42Sire!
00:41:45Your brother has joined forces with the Egyptians against you.
00:41:49Break through! Break through!
00:41:52Faster!
00:42:12Break through!
00:42:21Tell the Egyptians to break through with their horsemen.
00:42:26Break the circle!
00:42:41Break the circle!
00:42:44Break the circle!
00:42:47Break the circle!
00:42:50Break the circle!
00:42:53Break the circle!
00:42:56Break the circle!
00:42:59Break the circle!
00:43:02Break the circle!
00:43:05Break the circle!
00:43:08Break the circle!
00:43:11Break the circle!
00:43:14Sound the retreat!
00:43:26Joab, find Solomon!
00:43:38Solomon!
00:44:08Solomon!
00:44:34Let's try over there.
00:44:38Let's try over there.
00:44:49Your Highness, we've found Solomon's shield, but so far not Solomon.
00:44:57He must have crawled off to hide himself with the rest of his rabble.
00:45:00In the morning, we will dig them out of their burrows and hunt them down to the last man.
00:45:03I have more important things than to occupy myself with the rabbit hunt.
00:45:07Keep searching. There'll be double the gold for the man that brings me the head of Solomon.
00:45:14I'm impatient to enter Jerusalem.
00:45:16I do not wish to be delayed by the slow paces of an army.
00:45:19You will have no trouble in destroying the last remnants of Solomon's resistance.
00:45:23When you've vanquished them to a man, then follow me into Jerusalem with all speed.
00:45:28How many men will you need to enter Jerusalem?
00:45:30Only a small escort. I will meet with no more resistance there than I've had here.
00:45:34Your commands will be obeyed.
00:45:36Colonel Hassan, with six officers, will go with His Majesty to Jerusalem.
00:45:56There'll be few of us left to face Adonai Juna's Egyptians by tomorrow.
00:46:00The faint-hearted are deserting us in the darkness.
00:46:03Can you blame them, Josiah?
00:46:05After they have seen even my own brother turn against me.
00:46:09I thought I knew the driving passion of his ambitions,
00:46:12but never did I think he would betray his own people.
00:46:20We only found a few scattered units of our people,
00:46:23almost afraid to show themselves even in the darkness.
00:46:30In the morning, the Egyptians will march over us.
00:46:33Into Jerusalem.
00:46:35No matter how few of us are left, we'll fight on.
00:46:38If I cannot live as a king with honor,
00:46:41at least I can die as a king with honor.
00:46:48It's over to us! Our king is defeated!
00:47:04Majesty, the outcry in the streets of the city
00:47:07is over the news brought by deserters from Solomon's army.
00:47:10It seems he has been defeated. His men routed.
00:47:17Is he among the dead?
00:47:20No one knows.
00:47:22But all say that by morning, not one Israelite will escape alive.
00:47:27Now will Your Majesty seek safety.
00:47:30The Israelites will blame you for Solomon's defeat.
00:47:33I beg Your Majesty, do not refuse again. You must save yourself.
00:47:43Majesty, where are you going?
00:47:45Do not try to stop me, Barto.
00:47:47I will not let Your Majesty take the risk of going into the streets.
00:47:50Stand aside!
00:48:01I command you both, do not follow after me.
00:48:14How are the mighty fallen?
00:48:17Who are to us? The Egyptians will be upon us.
00:48:21The Lord has punished Solomon for his sins.
00:48:25Who will save us now, O God?
00:48:29Our sins have brought this upon us.
00:48:32Hold on to us.
00:48:34The Egyptians have overthrown our noble Solomon.
00:48:40Baron will slay us all.
00:48:44Solomon did not follow the path of God.
00:49:00God of Israel,
00:49:02Thou who art called the All-Knowing,
00:49:05the Compassionate,
00:49:07look into my heart,
00:49:09and hear my prayer.
00:49:11Forgive my sin against Thee and Thy people.
00:49:15Grant me the life of Solomon,
00:49:18the life of Solomon,
00:49:20the life of Solomon,
00:49:22the life of Solomon,
00:49:24the life of Solomon,
00:49:27Grant me the life of Solomon
00:49:30and preserve him against his enemies.
00:49:33Do this and I will return to the land of Sheba
00:49:36and cast down the false gods
00:49:39and I will build a tabernacle to the glory of Thy name
00:49:44and there shall be no other gods before Thee.
00:49:56Amen.
00:49:58Amen.
00:50:25Josiah.
00:50:28What does alarm do, Josiah?
00:50:30Not alarm, but hope.
00:50:32Hope that comes like a light in the midst of darkness.
00:50:35It is as though God had come to me
00:50:38and showed me the way.
00:50:42Yes?
00:50:44Josiah.
00:50:52Our men return.
00:50:54And them.
00:50:58And them.
00:51:06And them.
00:51:29They rally to us.
00:51:31By the hundreds.
00:51:48Set them to burnishing their shields.
00:51:51Let them shine like mirrors.
00:51:54Yes, sir.
00:51:58Yes, sir.
00:52:28I remember you once lectured me, Ezra,
00:52:31on how a king of Israel is crowned.
00:52:36Are there any among you
00:52:38who deny my right to sit upon this throne?
00:52:44Then I need no senseless ritual to attend my innovation.
00:52:51No anointing with the waters of Gihon.
00:52:54I take with my own hands what has always been mine.
00:53:00Hail Adonijah, Lion of Israel!
00:53:03Hail Adonijah!
00:53:08Know this, all of you.
00:53:10I have made an alliance with the Pharaoh.
00:53:12Under his protection, I will rule Israel.
00:53:15And I'll have no mercy on any who oppose me.
00:53:18Josiah, the sheep and harlot has been found.
00:53:21She has taken refuge in the temple.
00:53:25Halt!
00:53:48Halt!
00:53:50Halt!
00:53:54Halt!
00:54:03Again the Israelites.
00:54:05Where could they gather that number of men?
00:54:07Last night we could find none of them, only their dead.
00:54:10In a few minutes, they will all be dead.
00:54:13Today, there is no darkness into which they can escape.
00:54:16They face east and will be blinded by the sun.
00:54:24Prepare for a frontal attack.
00:54:26Frontal attack!
00:54:46They're going to charge us, Majesty.
00:54:48Wait for my signal.
00:54:55Hold on tight.
00:55:03Attack! Strike them down!
00:55:05Attack!
00:55:24Attack!
00:55:54Attack!
00:56:10Sire!
00:56:13Oh, no!
00:56:23Now, teams, forward!
00:56:42Take cover!
00:57:12Attack!
00:57:43Attack!
00:57:47Attack!
00:58:01Attack!
00:58:07Attack!
00:58:13Attack!
00:58:35Lord God of Israel,
00:58:38thine is the victory.
00:58:40Thou art our sword and our shield.
00:58:42Lord God of hosts.
00:58:45Thou art the Lord God.
00:58:47What thou hast done was out of love for thy people.
00:58:53If thou knowest what is in my heart,
00:58:55grant me forgiveness.
00:58:58Amen.
00:59:03Ahab, Josiah,
00:59:05choose 20 men.
00:59:07Mount them on horses.
00:59:09Gather up the Egyptians' banners from the dust.
00:59:12We will ride with them to Jerusalem
00:59:14to proclaim that the city of David is saved.
00:59:21By now, Solomon is dead by his own deeds.
00:59:25An Egyptian sword has rendered judgment upon him.
00:59:29It is I, Adonijah,
00:59:31who has prevented the hordes of Egypt
00:59:33from falling upon you and raising this city to the ground.
00:59:36Adonijah, Savior of Israel!
00:59:42There, in the temple,
00:59:44is the cause of all your troubles.
00:59:46It was she who brought disaster upon Israel.
00:59:49What shall be done with her?
00:59:51Let the dogs devour her.
00:59:53Drag her through the street.
00:59:55Give her to us. Let her be stoned to death.
00:59:57The sanctuary of the temple must not be violated.
01:00:03In the Israel that I rule,
01:00:05there is no sanctuary for a pagan harlot.
01:00:09You are her judges.
01:00:11I give her to you.
01:00:35Let us go.
01:01:05Let me pass.
01:01:08Let me pass.
01:01:13Once before, I told you I was king of Israel,
01:01:16and you called me an imposter.
01:01:18Now I shall prove to you that I am the king.
01:01:21I grant you the honor of my first judgment.
01:01:25Stoner!
01:01:36I have spoken. Obey my command.
01:01:39Stoner!
01:01:41Kill the pagan slut!
01:02:06Solomon! Victory!
01:02:08Victory! Solomon!
01:02:10Look! Solomon!
01:02:24Victory! Victory! Solomon returns!
01:02:27Solomon! Satan!
01:02:35Victory! Victory! Solomon!
01:03:02Solomon!
01:03:05Once before you robbed me of my birthright,
01:03:07but this time I'll not be denied.
01:03:10Shield the assault, brother.
01:03:12I will not break the pledge I made to our father.
01:03:14I'll shield it with your heart.
01:03:35Oh, no.
01:04:05No.
01:04:35Let's go.
01:05:05The woman in Jerusalem believed that you and Israel could be saved.
01:05:08She came into the temple,
01:05:10and before the sanctuary prayed that you might be spared.
01:05:35For thine is the power and the glory forever.
01:05:59Because thou didst call upon my name,
01:06:02in thy dark hours,
01:06:04I have heard thee.
01:06:07Return, therefore, unto thine own land,
01:06:10and keep the covenant thou didst make with me.
01:06:32Amen.
01:06:50Now I can tell you
01:06:52that I am to bear the child of our love.
01:06:57Now you will be queen over Israel,
01:07:00and our son shall reign after me.
01:07:02No.
01:07:04I gave promise to God
01:07:06that I would return to my own land.
01:07:09For that, he granted me your life and his forgiveness.
01:07:14But how can I let you go?
01:07:18Your child shall reign in the land of Sheba,
01:07:21and if God grant us the blessing of a son,
01:07:25then for the first time,
01:07:27Sheba shall have a king.
01:07:30And he shall walk
01:07:32in the way of the Lord God, Jehovah.
01:07:39That we must part is our atonement.
01:07:47Let this be thy will, O God.
01:07:51I submit to thy judgment.
01:07:54May thou watch between us
01:07:57while we are apart one from the other.
01:08:01I will be with you always.
01:08:05Shout unto God all the earth.
01:08:07Sing praises unto the glory of his name.
01:08:17Sing praises unto the Lord, O Israel.
01:08:21Be gracious unto us, God, and bless us.
01:08:25And bless us.
01:08:56And bless us.
01:09:15His anger is but for a moment,
01:09:19but his love is forever.
01:09:22Weeping may tarry for a night,
01:09:25but joy cometh in the morning.
01:09:55Amen.
