這是位于邊疆 埃及和以色列的國家。
今天是1000年了 在拿撒勒的基督誕生前。
即使在那時,這些界限 一直閃亮
與仇恨和沖突的火焰。
每一副自豪 論間諜的效率
但保持自己 總是警惕。
戴維的士兵,命令他 亞多尼雅的兒子和繼承人,以色列的王子。
一輛車在公路上行駛。 不管他是誰,都要阻止這個傻瓜。
?王子。 我哥哥在這兒嗎？
王子亞多尼雅是在山頂上。 跟我。
所！你在這里干什么？
在我去耶路撒冷的路上,我們得到了一個詞 埃及人在徘徊了。
我以為你可能需要一些幫助。
你更適合唱歌曲 比在戰斗中的攻擊。
我們的父親戴維是一個歌手的歌曲, 但他也是一個強大的戰士。
?埃及人在哪里？ ?他們想讓我陷,
在我們的營地趕去殺死我們 雖然我們睡覺,但我們不睡覺。
給我你的命令。
這不是你的游戲,兄弟。
我從來沒有想過這是一場比賽。 我戰斗在你身邊。
-那么,勝利之劍。 和上帝的盾牌,亞多尼雅。
展開,并殺死他們。
現在我們攻擊。 ?攻擊。
聲音的撤退。
再次,法老將有理由 記得亞多尼雅的名字。
讓他把它寫在他死的血里。
太長 這片泥土被鮮血浸泡。
你失去了你的品味的血液 現在戰爭結束了？
看到了勝利的光輝,
和平的榮耀使自己知道。
和平是婦女和兒童。
讓我凈化我的嘴 埃及人的惡臭。
以一個新的勝利 贏得了以色列王子。
-戰士的王子,亞多尼雅。 -亞多尼雅。
為了你的榮耀,兄弟。 愿它增加以色列的榮耀。
如果我是,將會有更大的榮耀 不受父親的命令。
防守,但從不攻擊。
當我是國王,將不會有 特權庇護我的仇敵。
我將追求他們進入他們自己的城市。
?我們會像狗一樣追捕他們。 -我們將擊潰他們了。
公主,這是一個被發現 死者中,但他沒有埃及人。
把他放下來。
法老有雇傭兵, 但我從未見過像他這樣的人。
-你從哪里來的？ ?我有幸為陛下服務。
-示巴女王。 -示巴女王？
我們從示巴的土地有很長的路。 800個聯賽。
示巴女王去了哪里 我,一個士兵的守衛。
為什么sheban 與埃及人對抗以色列？
我戰斗在我的女王命令。
它讓我的女王領導 她的軍隊反對一個野蠻人的樂隊。
我會把你藏在這勇敢的女王 你的一個象征,我的自尊。
不給他尊重 一個士兵應該有另一個。
包扎傷口。
所以饒了他。
出于對心臟的考慮 我親愛的哥哥。
這個皇后娛樂自己 在我們邊境的領導
殺死以色列人 她可能參加一個馬戲團。
我懷疑她是否找到了 這里很好笑。
迦密。
什么使國王的總理在這里？ 更多的訂單？
不,高度。如果那樣的話, 我將是一個更快樂的使命。
你的父親,國王戴維, 就在死亡的點上。
他陷入昏迷 而且還沒有恢復意識。
他的醫生可以給我 沒有一句話能帶給你。
約西亞,我們乘車到耶路撒冷。
亞多尼雅-冰雹,以色列的王。 亞多尼雅-冰雹。向國王致敬。
宣告國王的權利不是你的權利。 這些都是法律的話：
“他將被受膏者 隨著基訓的水域
并在存在的加冕 牧師和部落的長老。
你的法律可能是一句話,總理。 我的是劍。
冰雹亞多尼雅。
你為什么保持沉默？ 我不是戴維的合法繼承人嗎？
-你的第一個想法是不是為了我們的父親？ ?生活是為了生活。
當我知道戴維不再生活, 我將是第一個承認你。
我會跟隨你,高度。
我們可以到達耶路撒冷 明天黎明。
讓所關心的自己 死者。我的想法是為了生活。
我用這sheban女王有業務。
我們必須騎馬追上她。
馬！
海！海！
海！去！
去！去！
停止！
站在一旁。
在以色列,我給這個命令。
我很遺憾,我們昨天沒有見面 當你訪問我的營地。
你是誰？
——以色列王。 ?他說謊。
不管他是誰,他是一個騙子。
國王是個老人, 軟弱的與他多年的負擔。
就是你認為它安全 加入埃及人的力量？
給我離開, 我會從馬路上清理他們。
你認為你可以做得更好 比你昨晚做的好嗎？
戴維死在耶路撒冷。 我,亞多尼雅,是他的繼承人。
?我們不想與以色列人打交道。 讓他講,baltor。
你找我有什么好處？ ?如果我們正在處理的話,
?我能為你帶來死亡的頭顱。 殺死他！
?你自己的頭也不太安全。 沉默,哈蘭。
我追求的是你不要求有幫助 但要給予他們。
什么忙可以一個以色列人 授予示巴女王嗎?
一個王國的兩倍大 作為她現在規則。
放棄你與法老的聯盟。 讓您的橫幅飛在我的旁邊。
當我將他所推翻時,我會給 你他所有的土地,你自己的邊界。
和,如果我拒絕你的慷慨大方?
然后我將投入你下來 會不會窒息法老相同塵埃。
是你的選擇。 以色列或與埃及的災難與榮耀。

陛下,被迫像一個憤怒 參加這個理事會
自從我收到了你的命令。
不料我的兩個半球。
那個士兵。
和詩人。
我已經深深地愛著你們兩個。
告訴我。
-之間是否存在任何嫉妒你? -不,陛下。
嫉妒的什么?我有一個愿望 要區分自己作為一個學者呢?
這是亞多尼雅的命運要統治, 和我真正必事奉他。

當我躺在瀕臨死亡,
走出黑暗 洪亮的聲音叫我,說:
"我是耶和華你的神, 誰要被置于你坐在寶座上。
"這我吩咐你們:
以色列要和平才能興旺 并是偉大的不在斗爭。
和再一次,耶和華上帝 對他的仆人 David 說:
"看哪,耶和華,生了一個兒子 一個人的和平"。
"為何, 你曾給他起名叫所羅門"。
"和我將建立 他王國,直到永遠"。
-王國是我的! -上帝的旨意否則。
你很好的利用 你單獨和他在一起的時間。
你用他攻擊我的弱點。
-我對此一無所知。 -你說謊。
-你一向是韋弗的單詞。 -你錯誤地指責他。
之后你在我選擇了他? 他們應選擇。
-讓他們自己選擇。 -是啊,聽我們講話。

-冠是我的。我應為它奮斗。 亞多尼雅是合法的繼承人。
并沒有用暴力行為 否則,神的忿怒臨到你。
我永遠不會做任何事 剝奪你。
說出心里話的偽君子。
不是你的一個偽君子行為 在來迎接你的父親嗎?
你宣稱自己國王 即使你知道 David 住。
Hezrai 是否已經真的?
不知道嗎, 你派他來監視我的。
你不能等嗎 直到呼吸離開我的身體嗎?
-我厭倦等待。 -國王必須尊重和遵守法律。
在宣布自己, 您違反了上帝和人類的法律。
我說過自己什么是我的權利, 和我應當永遠不會放棄這一權利。
他們花多長時間 發現他的無能嗎?
所羅門王嗎?Lmpossible。
如今它揭示 亞多尼雅自己嘴
為什么上帝要背棄他從他的臉。
上帝的智慧 出人意外的理解。
因為它書面的所以讓它做。
帶來基訓的水域
這里,是作為神的命令,
膏所羅門王的以色列。
-由上帝的恩典。 -由上帝的恩典。
產量、 亞多尼雅。產量 和彎曲膝蓋以上帝的名義。
永遠不會!我寧可會 彎曲膝蓋到法老
比這個哥哥 誰搶光了我長子的名分的!
然后高舉團結碑 在他的眼前
所以,他可能永遠記住 他的奉獻的目的。
冰雹所羅門,
通過神的恩典,以色列王。
冰雹所羅門, 通過神的恩典,以色列王。
不背叛你的弟兄,所羅門。
他的血是熱的但它將涼爽。
你有我的誓言,陛下。
我將永遠不會忘記,他是我弟弟。
和你,我的孩子, 你會留在國王的家庭嗎
或您將返回到基列 與你的父親哈?
當我被帶到 David,房子 我的人唱著歌的歡樂,
和我歡歡喜喜進來的我的心。
與同樣的快樂,會 在所羅門的房子。
一件事仍然沉重地壓在我的心。
在我的青春,我夢見 我將建立一個強大的寺廟
可容納約柜。
但我犯了罪,
和是不適合直立 主的居所。
贖回我的誓言,我的兒子。
承諾我,你將建立 其中夢見大寺
所以,上帝將他居住的地方 他的百姓。
我向你保證它不得建。
當剛強壯膽。
不要懼怕,
也不要驚惶。
耶和華阿,我的上帝,
你使你的仆人王 而不是 David,我的父親,
我只不過是一個小小孩。
因此賜給你的仆人 一顆理解的心
我可以判斷你的百姓,
我可以分辨善與惡,
誰是能夠判斷這, 你如此偉大的人民嗎?
因為你耶和華問這件事
和不求為自己 使用壽命長,也不富足,
你仇敵的性命
但求理解 辨別判斷。
我已經賜給你 聰明和善解人意的心。
假如你愿意走進我的道,
保持我的律例 和我的誡命,
我將給予你 財富和榮譽
因此,不應 地上的君王之間
任何像耶和華在你所有的日子。
-還不夠好。 -不是嗎?
與你,我很少不夠好。 雙倍下注。
很好。
我要殺了他 當他被選國王。
耐心,殿下。等待。
-我不是個耐心的人。 -我意識到這一點。
離開我們,約押。
你沒有聽到陛下,約押嗎? 服從他的指揮。
一個人的智慧 成為奇跡的土地,
你顯示令人驚訝的缺乏 到這里來獨自。
我來請你幫個忙。
知道我的這只手必須痛 驅動這一矛通過你的身體嗎?
我知道什么是在你的心。
我想問的就是你愛你的祖國 就像你恨我。
這將使我最偉大的愛國者 在以色列的歷史。
David 奠定了我很大的負擔。
規則的王國,并打造 寺,我已承諾這兩個國家。
但你有當選 繼續留在這里在你的小屋,
剝奪你很有天賦的人 作為一名士兵和指揮官。
打造是不夠的。
必須捍衛已經建立 敵人的國家。
完成這一任務, 你比我更好地適合。
返回到耶路撒冷,
提供您的服務,不給我, 但對你的國家和你的神。
你給了我 軍隊的命令嗎?
是的。
盡管我可能會嘗試 要對付你?
是的。
好吧?
我試圖決定 如果你是最聰明的智慧,
或愚蠢的傻瓜。
于是所羅門走 在他的神,
并通過長時期的和平, 以色列增長和繁榮。
與圣殿完成
履行了所羅門 最神圣的誓言,他的父親。
所羅門在以色列。
耶和華以色列的神, 沒有像你的上帝。
天上的天不能包含你,
少這房子是多少 我有建造你的名嗎?
然而聽到你的仆人,他的懇求,
和讓驗證你的話 你對我父親 David 異象。
你的百姓以色列 當他們應朝這個地方,祈禱
聽到你在天堂里, 和你所聽見的就當饒恕。
因為他們是你的人 作為這所房子是你的
所有地球可能都知道 耶和華是神。
還有沒有別的。
阿門。
來吧。來吧。
來吧...
噢,陛下!
來加入我們,Baltor。 我教我的鳥要服從。
Takyan 不贊成。我需要一個盟友。
這就是法老王到底 在抱怨。
法老抱怨呢? 我們要教他。
另一條消息 剛從埃及來。
-讓它等一等。 -但它是一個嚴重的問題。
法老王已經召開了一個發布會 列王記上。
坐下來,Baltor。 你讓機緊張。
較深的色調,Takyan。
石榴。這是正確的顏色。
嗯,Baltor?
這一次的問題是什么?
陛下, 問題是以色列人。
他們宣揚和平,但他們加強 他們的軍隊,和目的是什么?
他們也許是害怕了法老號。
我們害怕有什么?
盡管我們永恒的仇恨, 現在,我們與以色列的友好關系。
沒錯,但我們的安全受到威脅。
幾乎狂熱 他們支持他們偉大的國王所羅門。
一個夢想家。熱愛和平的人。
但一個人的想法,還有什么比 比有想法的人更危險。
-威脅是真實的嗎? -非常真實。
所羅門的威脅 不僅是他的軍隊,而且他的神。
他的神嗎?我們有一百個神。
這是一神教, 所有人都是平等的都都是奴隸。
愚蠢的想法。
...如果這種想法 被抓住的人,
示巴女王很快就會 轟然倒塌從她的寶座。
如將所有其他絕對的君主。
因此我強烈建議 陛下去參加這個會議。
你看,Baltor? 抓鳥,第一次誘餌的陷阱。
也許我們可以幫助法老 解決問題的所羅門,
和殺死一石兩鳥。
因為所羅門登上王位的 以色列,我看著他成長的力量
直到現在他的力量 已成為威脅到我的邊界。
財富和貿易哪一次 來到我們現在找到他。
因為我們已經拖延太久 他破壞的計劃。
-是的拿起武器反對他。 -提高棒的主持人。
-踩成塵埃的以色列。 -王伊磯倫。
-從摩押地,我想要 1,000 戰車。 -我會送你 2,000。
Kaldu,從迦勒底 你會送我 5,000 弓箭手。
-更多如果他們需要。 -我們會攻擊一樣,我也計劃。
從北部、 東部和南部, 同時,感到驚訝。
他們不會知道 如何或在哪里提出辯護。
-我們會趕進大海。 -和示巴。
你會送什么力量 對所羅門嗎?
都不是。
為什么呢?你不是我的盟友嗎?
我們必須結束對以色列和與它 一位神這危險的想法。
你說話的戰爭。你怎么能 摧毀
她是很漂亮,不是她?
你的威嚴。
請允許我介紹我的主權, 她的威嚴,示巴女王。
以色列伸出了熱情的歡迎 對陛下。
我很感謝您的權限 訪問你們美麗的國家。
經過這么多的旅行,你必須 高興能夠達成您的目的地。
如果我剛走了十倍的距離 它會被遺忘
在見過的奇跡
和在輝煌 你耶路撒冷城。

他不知道我在這里。
所以急于來。
然后更高興了。請進。
你是法院的第一位皇帝陛下 來看我。
你們的營地是多么有趣。
是你的人 總是那么無憂無慮和同性戀嗎?
我們享受生活和快樂。
-不是嗎? -是的我們做了。
但我們是一個嚴肅的人。 我們往往會以更嚴重。
和你們的王。他也是嚴重嗎?
所羅門王有很大責任。
他必須保持 我們 12 個部落的統一。
它是非常重要的這種統一嗎?
哦,是的。沒有它, 會沒有以色列。
示巴的神。 仲裁法 》-Ra,衛報 》 的命運。
Kol,神的太陽和星星。
羅摩,發送雨。
我們有很多神。
在以色列,我們有一位神。
當他失敗了,你, 你做的一切責怪他呢?
他永遠不會忘記我們。
你必須找到令人滿意 能夠如此接近你的國王。
你也許是他的姐姐嗎?
有時他這樣叫我。 我們已非常接近彼此,
自從我搬來住 在他父親的房子里。

這取決于你的國王。
你是迷人的。無辜。
你滿足我的期望。

-他有招待你皇家... -和那些國宴!
我在一端,他在其他。
不我曾經跟他說。 不只一次。
但我們在這里只有五天。
這所羅門是更難 埃及法老比的方法。
這偉大的國王擁有一切的時間 除了作為一個人的時間。
他送我,Rha-岡,神的愛。
讓我最理想的女性。
使我的嘴唇甜如蜜,
我的皮膚軟和香 像一朵花的花瓣。
把他給我。
我想他在我的腳下。
陛下有皇家的客人。
女王陛下和我以前見過面。
我謹向陛下致歉。
我后悔不 要在接待處,歡迎您的光臨。
你已經有了,它將有 讓我歡迎完整。
陛下是親切的。而不同 從你最后一次拜訪的場合。
如果我沒記錯的話, 殿下,然后是一個國王。
是的。作為一個國王,我給你 結成聯盟反對法老。
我的回答并不太好。
因此,我記得。
這次風險投資,為您提供 另一個聯盟。
你作為特使來嗎 從以色列的國王嗎?
我是來亞多尼雅, 以色列王位的合法繼承人。
我們之間的聯盟可以給我們 很多事情我們都渴望。
你想麝武器嗎 幫助你篡奪你哥哥的王位?
所羅門是篡位者。
一次我在寶座上, 我們的土地可以包圍埃及,
和所有的諸王記。 將我們的擺布。
我擺布,為什么應該想他們?
我保持良好的關系,與諸王記。
所羅門王是我的朋友。
所以怎么可能你的提議嗎 我可能感興趣嗎?
有尖叫鷹 被改造成咕咕?
這個世界將會多么乏味 如果人永遠不會改變。
我是更聰明了,王子亞多尼雅。
我不再戰拿著劍。
這就是為什么我發現您的光臨如此令人不安。
難以相信你來 軸承的和平的橄欖枝。
我能到所羅門王那里,帶上什么呢 熱愛和平的人是誰?
陛下,很明顯 我浪費你的時間,以及礦井。
與陛下您的權限...
我認為你的理解是一種更好 作為尖叫的鷹。
他仍然是一只狗。
之前從未有一個外星人 坐在我們的國王在判斷旁邊。
她的存在玷污所有以色列。
誰讓投訴?
國王陛下,這個女人利亞 住在同一所房子內。
我生了一個孩子。
第三天后,我被交付, 她還生。
那時沒有人在房子里 但我們兩個。
在夜晚,這個女人的孩子死了 因為她躺在上面,
她為何刪除我的兒子 從身邊我睡覺的時候
她靠在我胸前的死孩子放。
-她說謊。 -沉默。
早晨起來時 看護我的孩子,他已經死了。
-不是這樣,耶和華所羅門。 -真理,國王陛下。
當我在我的懷里,看著孩子的時候, 我知道它不是所生的兒子。
-這是她自己的孩子和別人。 -將活孩子是我的。
約西亞。
孩子放在我面前的步驟 和他給我看看。
你拔出刀,約西亞。
把孩子分成兩部分。
一名女子,一半給 一半給這婦人。
不!
如果它必須
把孩子交給她 它不可能被殺。
把它分成。 它應該是既不是她也不是我。
可能上帝耶和華 贊美與祝福你。
你會寧愿投降他 到另一個比見到他的傷害。
并因此采取這個女人
和管理對她 以適應她作偽證的處罰。
她說謊。她說謊。
它是不對的。這孩子是我的。
是我的!
現在,最后,我有見過 一種判斷的所羅門,
和你的智慧讓我吃驚。
無論智慧一直給予我的 這是我的人民的利益。
繼續教我,我懇求你,
所以,我可能會獲得更大的洞察力 進奇妙的你的理解。
它將使我成為一個更好 和聰明的統治者,超過我自己的人。
真正的智慧在于能力 真與假之間決定。
你有這樣一份快樂 在所有你已經完成了。
它是一種喜悅,使沙漠之花綻放 通過把水帶從山上。
你已經讓這變成天堂。
水的工作, 溫暖的陽光做的不是我。
在過去的幾天里, 我已經給你很多以色列。
但你不告訴我 任何你自己的國家。
這一刻,我自己的土地 看起來像星星一樣遙遠。
在我的青春,我曾經夢想的訪問 地球的所有遙遠的王國。
現在相反, 這些國家的統治者來找你。
你統治巴獨自。
從開始的時候, 只有皇后都已裁定示巴。
那是我們的法律。
我很樂意告訴陛下 許多事情,關于我的國家
如果我是肯定,會 您感興趣。
你為什么這樣說呢?
因為以后所有的時間 我去過你,
你不回來了你的贊美 通過訪問我的營地。
和我。
也許我在等待邀請。
你答應接受嗎?
我保證。
我真高興 那最后你來拜訪我。
我的人民感到榮幸。
它是你的客人感到榮幸。
你不是無聊 由我們原始的消遣嗎?
不,它讓我感興趣 要了解什么讓你高興。
足夠,Takyan。
如果我不會阻止它, 我的人會留下來和盯著你。
傳說中的所羅門。
盯著你的方式嗎?
這是小時的 Rha-岡。
每天晚上,我向他做了祭。
稻殼-岡,送禮者的生命,神的愛,
接受此表我的感激之情 和奉獻精神。
稻殼-岡的盛宴 是最神圣的儀式
每年慶祝在巴土地。
但是今晚讓那里有神沒有說話。
甚至沒有的智慧。
還有麝酒 溫暖的心。
我對你的產品。
今晚,我們都是獨自在一個不同的世界。
我的世界。
是的我們是在一個不同的世界。
不是是合你的口味,我主我的酒?
它幾乎讓我忘記了 你是法老的盟友。
以色列的敵人。
陛下, 一切都準備好今晚。
我選擇了這一個。
嗯.玫瑰花精油。我喜歡。
-國王最喜歡的氣味。 -你知道?
他的后宮的婦女告訴我。
我不想提醒他 其他的女人。
你聽到了什么?
他們抱怨 他們所羅門的疏忽了。
沒有理由 要還會嫉妒我。
盡管他離開的方式 他也很難忘記你。
今晚,我會更加困難。
我干。
他仍可能會來,陛下。 它還不是午夜。
我需要你告訴我時間嗎?
把它拿走。它離開我的視線。
他怎么敢這樣對待我!
他認為我是什么? 只是另一只貓在他皇家的籠子里?!
我不在乎如果他永遠不會來!
從來沒有。從來沒有。
你不被應該和她一起吃飯嗎?
-是的我是。 -然后你為什么坐在這里獨自一人?
我覺得需要獨處。
它的重量是什么 那么沉重在你的心上?
它來到了哪里 你能看透我的心思嗎?
我總是沒分享您的想法嗎?
是的。
有時,一個人感到拉長 朝著他,所面臨的危險
即使自己的毀滅。
像一只飛蛾接近火焰。
有什么不同 關于此的火焰嗎?
我可以把火撲滅了一秒。
-這樣不是更簡單嗎? -這種小小的火焰,煞。
然而瀟灑, 它可以摧毀一切的耶路撒冷。
簡單,是的
但也許沒有它, 會有黑暗。
在光中或在黑暗中, 你只要伸手去拿我的手。
我會永遠在你身邊。
-晚安。 -晚安。
-他的威嚴。 -他的威嚴。
陛下。
女王陛下等待你直到 午夜,然后她退休。
-我很抱歉。 -Takyan,承認陛下。
我打擾了你休息。
我休息一會,心想,也許 我已經以某種方式不滿你嗎?
現在你必須要 完全真實的我。
到了耶路撒冷,你為什么來?
為什么做你現在問我這些問題?
因為我知道,后面那些可愛 眼睛是女人的非常聰明的大腦
誰將永遠不會有旅行過 無目的的 800 聯賽。
你找到了我。
我將向你坦白。
法老付錢給我 神話般的價格來監視你。
給他你所有的秘密。
有認為, 但以色列從埃及沒有真正的秘密。
法老是意識到 我們的弱點和我們的力量。
我怎么能希望欺騙你?
我一直在試圖勾引你。
有了這些。
要綁定你到我在軟鏈 所以,我會,我可以和你做。
也許我們現在 接近真相。
每個女人她的代價 一名男子。
你是女王, 但你也是需求的價格。
我愿意。如此之大,我不知道 如果你將支付它。
我要你愛我,完全,徹底,
和那愛的是 你生命中最珍貴的東西。
我希望它是真的,
但是,如果它不是, 然后讓我留下對事實視而不見。
即使當你不是跟我, 我發現自己嘗試著去回憶
我們一起度過的每一刻。
你有說的話對我來說, 我將永遠不會忘記。
后什么已經來了,我們之間 新單詞保持在我的心歌唱。
-把它們告訴我。 -看哪,你是公平的我的愛。
你的眼睛很像鴿子, 你的嘴唇是石榴。
如何更好是你的愛情比酒。
我以前從未有 已知這種幸福。
也不是我,如果我認為我是幸福的 現在我知道我被騙了。
你看起來像兩只鳥 誰已經孵出了蛇誕。
你可以暢所欲言。 我有沒有秘密從約押。
我們已經采取大律師 與公主殿下您。
關于什么?我就是指揮官 主機,不國務部長。
它有關國王。
-那么為什么不跟他去咨詢? -因為他不會聽。
被嚴重批評 提起他的人。
誰還敢地喃喃自語 對偉大的所羅門嗎?
他與麝女王的協會 已發展成為公開的丑聞。
更糟糕的是,他甚至帶來了這 異教徒的女性來說,住在宮內
大膽的安裝她在公寓里 毗鄰他自己私人的房間。
那是他的事,不是我。
我們想也許如果你是 私下跟他說話,跟他講道理。
指出這是一個問題 不只關注大祭司的
但向先知和理事會。
我,想要在私底下陛下?
你忘了,Hezrai,他是國王。 國王可以做沒有錯。
嗯,事情是必須做的。
不是我。你是他的財政大臣,Hezrai, 和你他大祭司撒督。
你做的東西。你跟他講道理。
我們曾希望合作 你的殿下。
你擁有它。 我同情和我最好的祝福。
我們感謝您接受我們。
根本不是,根本不是。
隨時為你效勞。
它不能服務你的利益 更好,如果你已經安排她的訪問。
祭司的職任被引起反對他。 安理會譴責他。
甚至人們公開談論他的恥辱。
反映了你的殿下 我自己的想法。
我就是個傻瓜 忽略這樣的機會。
你可能要等永遠 為這樣的另一個人。
我會解決 他們的 Hezrai 和督的問題
同時,我自己。
更確切地說,這是一個問題,你,約押, 有一點點的幫助,將會解決。
我等待你的命令,殿下。
陛下吩咐我 伺候她?
你花了很長時間才能在這里。 我發送 Takyan 帶給你一個小時前。
十分鐘前,如果陛下取樂。
請進。別站在那兒 跟我吵架。
以何種方式,我能為陛下?
你可以安排 我從以色列的安全行為。
別那樣看著我! 按我說的做!
-但是當,陛下? -現在。今天。這一分鐘。
陛下會原諒我 如果我看起來,震驚...
我有先咨詢你的意見嗎 關于一切我想做呢?
陛下愿意不 完成她的目的嗎?
請允許我決定問題 我的來來往往。
陛下會原諒我,如果我冒險 觸及她個人的私人的事務。
言歸正傳,Baltor。
我已經感覺到變化 在陛下。軟化。
逃避現實的愿望。
你在指責我 是愛上了他?不是嗎?
我希望為陛下的緣故 不是那種情況。
如果是這種情況,
你否定我的權利 在我的生活是人類第一次嗎?
請允許我提醒陛下, 你不能把你的個人情感
以上的法老 和你的國家嗎?
不要責備我,Baltor。
陛下曾經告訴我,你可以 不起奢侈的一個女人,
你總是被強迫 要記住,你是女王,
和,你唯一的愛, 你唯一的思想,必須是你的責任。
陛下,來到耶路撒冷
尋找一種手段來摧毀 你曾經憎恨的敵人!
是的 Baltor。
我一直在試圖逃避現實。
我發現自己也試著去忘記 我來,目的
作為一個會試著忘記邪惡的夢。
我一直不愿 使他結束。
最仁慈的方式,要殺就推力 快速而有力的一把刀。
看來我們是遙遙無期的殺 比我們之前我們來了。
你是錯的 Baltor。我知道 天如何摧毀所羅門。
假設我得到他的許可舉行 稻殼-岡后的以色列,土壤的儀式
要設置一個異教神 在偉大的耶和華,
一位命令以色列人的神 有沒有其他的神的面前?
這會導致更多 比對他的憤怒怨言。
祭司和人民 將奮起反抗所羅門。
是的 Baltor。
他自己的人民 將完成他的結局。
現在你滿意了嗎 我依然是示巴女王嗎?
陛下。
多少次 我應當告訴你,我愛你嗎?
一遍又一遍 直到你讓我相信它。
我會的。
可是你知道這么多的愛。
我會牽你的手
和前面所有以色列的廟宇 我會向你保證我在婚姻中的愛。
關我走在你的后宮? 分享你的愛嗎?
不,與你分享我的王位。
你給我榮耀吧,可是已經女王。
我們將加入我們的土地 隨著我們將加入我們的生活。
永遠的夢想。 我們之間太多站。
沒有什么必須站在我們中間。
甚至不是我們的神呢?
我知道這一刻的到來,為 我們相信的東西是不相同的。
我曾希望在時間 你會來接受耶和華。
作為以色列的國王,你會放棄嗎 你為我的人的神嗎?
我仍然不敢希望。
我的愛,我必須離開以色列。
為什么呢?為什么呢?我不能讓你走。
時候了 每年過節的 Rha-岡。
你能給我的權限嗎 在以色列舉行它在這里嗎?
這將是一種褻瀆。
然后我必須去其他地方慶祝它。
你看到嗎?你不能消除 我們之間的意思。
不,等等。聽我說。 必須有一種方式...
不!
幫助！幫助！王!
幫助！警衛隊!約西亞!
約押。
你是安全的陛下?
我們會把他送到送他的人。
加油！
感謝所有的神,你不受傷害。
我這輩子第一次 我......我有沒有為自己的想法。
我只為他擔心。
你們這些男人,這種方式。 休息,跟著我。
你期待我求饒?
我忽略了你的仇恨 因為你對以色列的價值。
-我承諾永遠不會背叛你。 -我問沒有承諾。
但是今晚你舉起你的手 針對以色列的生活。
你和你的麝蕩婦 以色列的名從公平玷污了。
只有設法保護我們的國家 從你的污染。
只是因為 David 的血 通過你的血管,以及礦山,流動
就算你對你的生活, 但我從以色列永遠消除你。
我應該感激的但你 應關注你自己的生活-
如果它已經不被丟失 示巴的毒藥。
-刪除他,約西亞。 -把他,和他。
我囑咐你要清理你自己的 這允許您有產卵的罪孽。
放棄這個女人她拜偶像的事。眼淚 下來的憎惡她已豎立。
她準許 讓她自己宗教的神圣儀式。
異教徒的狂歡!一場狂歡!
我有沒有道歉 我所做的一切。
照我所吩咐的就該如此。
你已經打破了神的盟約 和他的命令:
"你必有沒有其他的神 之前我"。
"你必不使你們自己 任何雕刻圖像"。
"你不可殺人"。 但謀殺有人試圖對我。
如果示巴也未能幸免, 刺客就不會放過她。
我已授予的權限是可憐 對犯罪未遂的賠償。
看來,在這個女人,你的欲望 你失去了你的原因。
你用詞小心,Hezrai。 這是我對她的愛。
出于愛, 我愿意和她分享這王位。
不愛,我會參加她的儀式。
-聽我說,所羅門。 -我都聽過我想要聽到你的消息。
然后聽到上帝的聲音。
皇家服飾 將從你身上剝離。
你會哭出來你悔改,
但耳朵和人民的心 會把你關。
而且我的耳朵被關閉到咯咯地叫祭司 和老男人喃喃自語。
我會告訴你 我是在以色列,不是你的國王。
你,所羅門有禍了。
稻殼-岡!稻殼-岡!
聽到我們,O Rha-岡, 上帝的愛,生命的賦予者。
讓你的靈進入我們的身體。
賦予我們力量和生命力的人
和我們有無盡的豐富性的婦女。
我的門被關上了。
你必須觸及我的隱私?
你可以躲開你的良心嗎 關上門嗎?
說你的必須 然后請留下我獨自一人。
尋找我曾經認識的人來
該名男子是高貴、 溫柔、 善良, 與神同行的人。
-那些僅僅是詞,亞比煞。 -我懇求你聽。
當我還是孩子, 你的世界,我崇拜你。
但時間的流逝, 和愛改變了也跟我一樣。
我的愛變得 那位男士。
但這個人成為國王,
并在他的眼睛, 女人仍是個孩子。
我知道如何強烈呼喚著你。
聽聽你的人。他們的愛 呼喚你們,因為我會召喚我的愛。
聽他們如果不是我。
是否你或我人批準, 我必須去。
你不能去。做不毀了你自己!
求你了!
耶和華神,聽仆人的祈禱。
我不是力量 拯救我的主所羅門從自己做起。
但你就是力量。 讓不你降臨在他身上的忿怒。
看著他的心,可憐他。
但是,如果這是你的意志來懲罰他, 在接續他訪問在我身上。
哦,沒有。
為什么呢?
罪是我的。 你為什么不打我?
我警告你,所羅門。 上帝之手是在你身上。
陛下,你必須休息。
不能休息,Takyan。
我是來請求你的許可 安排你立即離開。
是的。
讓我們走的很快。
我們現在仍然沒有理由 我已經完成我的目的。
陛下不應該責備自己。 它只不過是個突如其來的暴風雨。
它不是第一次閃電 已死,也不會是最后一次。
它只不過是個巧合嗎?
陛下肯定 真不敢相信以色列人,
這是一個跡象 憤怒和報復他們的神嗎?
-我不再知道我相信什么。 -陛下,你過度緊張。
是的過去幾天的應變 對我們所有的影響。
但這是你的勝利的時刻。 法老必因你的勝利歡喜。
示巴女王的自豪。
我很為自己感到驕傲。
我已經贏得了我從埃及的獎勵。 我們會有我們在紅海的港口。
我們會有更多的黃金, 更多的權力,更多的一切。
因為我已經背叛了 一個偉大的人,信任我,
誰愛我超越所有的一切。
麝。來了麝。
這里來麝。
-麝。 -走吧。
陛下理解它不是 你參加安理會的請求。
這是一個命令 從部落的長老。
我有不想逃避 他們有什么要對我說。
你不應該有的風險 來到這里。
如果不來到現在,
我可能迷路了 根本來勇氣。
一次,你問我為真理。
與真理,就回答了你,但 我使它聽起來像是謊言去欺騙你。
因為我是法老王的朋友 和以色列,敵人
我在這里帶著仇恨 毀了你。
如果我知道這 一天你來到耶路撒冷,
它會改變什么。
我的是更大的罪惡感。
因為我知道從一開始 只要你會,我會跟進。
但你為什么不只是去 沒有解釋嗎?
因為我愛你。
自己做了什么,我不能撤消。
和我一起無論你做什么, 但你必須相信這。
我的愛不是一個謊言。
不想安撫以色列的憤怒 與悔恨。
上帝的憤怒,也不會放在一邊轉。
在我的防御,不是會說話的。
你能說什么 鑒于你的罪過嗎?
因為有你,糾紛填充的土地。
民族團結是撞碎了。
即使是這樣,
其合一的象征 是破成碎片。
部落的長老拒絕你 作為他們的國王和背離你。
耶和華神將消滅你化為塵埃
和他的人民會贊美他的名。
算了吧。
愚昧人立在偉大的高度,
和,這已經 是,并無新事。
誰知道呢 什么是好的男子在他的生活,
他愛慕虛榮的生活 他花費的影子嗎?
虛空的虛空,凡事都是虛空。
但是,如果你們轉身離開 離棄我的律例,
然后我會拔掉它們的根 走出我的土地,我已賜給他們,
和這所房子是高
應當對每個人都驚訝 通過它,所以,他必說,像吹過
"為什么神耶和華 向這地和這殿呢?"
它應回答"因為他們 離棄耶和華他們列祖的神
他們留下了很深的提出 從埃及地
和其他的神奠定了的堅持 崇拜他們,并為他們服務。
"因此他撇下我一 這一切災禍在他們身上"。
長老們有譴責所羅門,
和軍長 有回到他們自己的省份。
這是時間罷工,陛下。
所有以色列都是在風暴中, 和所羅門孤零零一人站。
看來,您的信息 是比我更準確。
有不示巴女王 給你充分報告的情況嗎?
我一直在想, 等待她的音訊。
你的意思是她并沒有告訴你 報告嗎?
沒有什么。
也許在她的新歡, 她已經忘記了她對你的義務
并發現她聯盟與所羅門同在 更多根據自己的喜好。
你告訴我 我應該知道的一切
除了我支持您的價格 你對你的兄弟。
我想要以色列的冠。 它一直都是我。
和軍隊的命令 您發送對所羅門。
這次我批準。
但還有一件事,我想從你那里。
你將儀器 對我的懲罰的宮室
為她背叛我。
在那,陛下,你可以依靠。
新的以色列國王萬歲。
你的兄弟可以平等這樣的實力嗎?
他將能夠收集 只有少數追隨者。
我們將迅速出擊。 勝利必須是決定性的。
他們號碼多少?
數千人。
-你看見他們越過邊境? -是的陛下。
一列從地平線到地平線。
它是最終預期。
我們出門,面對埃及人。
發號施令,約西亞。
收集你可以什么力量。
是的陛下。
有了這些 我們希望干埃及部落嗎?
我的父親 David 面臨歌利亞 一塊石頭和一根牧羊人的吊索。
上帝是 David。
-請原諒我,陛下。 -沒什么可原諒。
以色列眾人知道 那上帝拋棄了 David 的兒子。
陛下,你讓他走 沒有告別詞。
對他,我可以什么說?
我怎么能告訴他呢 我帶他的孩子嗎?
-停止! -停止!
-殿下,敵人被看見了。 -在什么距離?
在一個小時的行軍。
然后他們過十聯賽 由于黎明和我們去過一個人。
他們是花和用盡 而且我們仍然記憶猶新。
然而在太陽下山之前的兩個小時。
-部署你的人。 -給該命令。
我們希望每一個人,馬、 戰車, 從所羅門的視圖中隱藏。
當他騎進了陷阱, 我們的進攻將從每個季度打他。
現在部署的攻擊!
部署的攻擊!
在你的立場。部署的攻擊!
陛下,我們男人都花了。 我們要叫休息嗎?
他們將停留在 Saladar 的沙丘上。
那里我們將鞏固 并等待敵人。
讓加入戰斗 至于耶路撒冷盡可能遠。
陛下。你看,山上的男子。
-停止列中。 -停止!
Shunammites!
他們承擔友誼的一面旗幟。
亞哈!
我們來與國王站在一起。
為何你給我你的支持 在這黑暗的時刻嗎?
是你為埃及人的仇恨 大于你恨我嗎?
我們進來的愛的記憶 我的女兒亞比煞給你。
-然后,我們將履行該內存。 -上帝保佑。
落在后面。
約西亞。 -向前小跑。
前進!
開始攻擊。
攻擊!攻擊!
圍成一個圓圈。
陛下,你弟弟參加了部隊 與埃及人對你不利。
突破。突破。速度更快。
告訴埃及人 與他們的馬隊突破。
-打破循環。 -免費!
聽起來撤退。
約押,找到所羅門。
讓我們試著在那邊。
殿下,我們發現所羅門的 盾,但到目前為止不所羅門。
他必須爬下來 若要隱藏與他的烏合之眾。
在上午 我們會把它們挖出地洞。
我有更重要的事情 比來占據自己與兔狩獵。
繼續尋找。會有黃金 給我帶來了所羅門的頭的人。
我很不耐煩地進入耶路撒冷。我愿意 不是希望延遲通過緩慢的軍隊。
你會有任何麻煩 在摧毀所羅門的阻力。
當你已經打敗了他們, 跟著我進耶路撒冷與所有速度。
你需要輸入多少男人?
只是小的護送。 我會遇到那里沒有阻力。
將服從你的命令。
與 6 名干事上校侯賽因 將與陛下去了耶路撒冷。
會有很少的我們左到亞多尼雅的臉 和他的埃及人的明天。
膽小者背信棄義我們 在黑暗中。
你能責怪他們,約西亞
之后他們見過 即使是我自己的兄弟背叛我?
我知道 他的野心,駕駛的激情
但我從來沒有想 他會背叛自己的人民。
我們只發現 幾個分散的單位,我們的人民,
幾乎不敢展示自己 即使在黑暗中。
在早上,埃及人 將在我們步入了耶路撒冷。
無論多少我們都離開了, 我們一定要戰斗。
如果不能忍受作為國王的榮譽,
至少我可以死之王的榮譽。
我們有禍了!我們的國王是被擊敗的!
陛下。
強烈抗議已經結束帶來的消息 通過從所羅門的軍隊的逃兵。
看來他已被擊敗, 他的手下路由。
......他是死人嗎?
沒有人知道, 但是都說,到了早晨,
沒有一個以色列人會逃避還活著。
現在陛下將尋找安全嗎? 以色列人會責備你。
我乞求陛下,不要拒絕再次。 您必須保存自己。
-陛下,你去哪里? -請不要阻止我,Baltor。
我不會讓你承擔的風險 要走進街道。
站到一邊去!
我命令你們兩個, 做不跟從我。
所羅門被征服! 如何是竟仆倒。
我們有禍了。 埃及人會在我們身上。
耶和華 已為他的罪懲罰所羅門。
誰來救我們脫離法老?
我們的罪 這個對我們帶來了。

法老必害死我們所有人。

Visiontext 字幕: 尼爾 · 布萊克摩爾
ENHOH
This is the borderland that lies between the countries of Egypt and Israel.
As it is today, so it was 1,000 years before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.
Even then, these boundaries were kept ablaze
with the fires of hatred and conflict.
Each side prided themselves on the efficiency of their spies
but kept themselves always on the alert.
Soldiers of David, commanded by his son and heir Adonijah, prince of Israel.
- A chariot moving along the road. - Stop the fool, whoever he is.
- Prince Solomon. - Is my brother here?
Prince Adonijah is at the top of the hill. Follow me.
Solomon! What are you doing here?
On my way to Jerusalem, we got word the Egyptians were on the prowl again.
I thought you might need some help.
You are better suited to singing songs than exploits in battle.
Our father David was a singer of songs, but he's also a mighty warrior.
- Where are the Egyptians? - They thought to trap me,
to rush in on our camp and kill us while we slept, but we're not sleeping.
Give me your orders.
This is not your kind of game, brother.
I never thought of it as a game. I fight by your side.
- Then the sword of victory, Solomon. - And the shield of God, Adonijah.
Spread out, and kill them all.
(whooping)
(yelling)
- Now we attack. - Attack.
(screams)
Sound the retreat.
Once again, the Pharaoh will have reason to remember the name of Adonijah.
Let him write it in the blood of his dead.
Too long this soil has been bathed in blood.
Have you lost your taste for blood now that the battle is over?
After seeing the glory of victory,
the glory of peace makes itself known.
Peace is for women and children.
Let me cleanse my mouth of the stench of the Egyptians.
To a new victory won by the Prince of Israel.
- To the warrior prince, Adonijah. - To Adonijah.
To your glory, brother. May it increase the glory of Israel.
There would be greater glory if I were not shackled by command of my father.
Defend but never attack.
When I am king, there will be no privileged sanctuaries for my enemies.
I'll pursue them into their own cities.
- We'll hunt them down like dogs. - We'll rout them out.
Highness, this one was found among the dead, but he is no Egyptian.
Put him down.
The Pharaoh has mercenaries, but I have never seen one like him.
- From where do you come? - I have the honor to serve Her Majesty.
- The Queen of Sheba. - The Queen of Sheba?
We're a long way from the land of Sheba. 800 leagues.
Where goes the Queen of Sheba there go I, a soldier of her guard.
Why does a Sheban fight with Egyptians against Israel?
I fight where my queen commands.
And it pleased my queen to lead her troops against a band of barbarians.
I'll send your hide to this brave queen of yours as a token of my esteem.
No. Grant him the respect one soldier should have for another.
Bind up his wounds.
So spare him.
Out of regard for the tender heart of my dear brother.
This queen amuses herself by leading men across our borders
to slay Israelites as she might attend a circus.
I doubt if she found much amusement here.
Hezrai.
What brings the king's chancellor here? More orders?
No, Highness. If that were so, mine would be a far happier mission.
Your father, King David, lies at the point of death.
He lapsed into a coma and has not regained consciousness.
His physicians could give me no word of hope to bring you.
Josiah, we ride to Jerusalem.
- Hail Adonijah, King of Israel. - Hail Adonijah. Hail the king.
It is not your right to proclaim the king. These are the words of the Law:
"He shall be anointed with the waters of Gihon
and crowned in the presence of the priest and the elders of the tribes."
Your law may be the Word, Chancellor. Mine is the sword.
Hail Adonijah.
And why do you remain silent? Am I not David's rightful heir?
- Your first thought is not for our father? - Life is for the living.
When I know David is no longer living, I will be the first to acknowledge you.
I will follow you, Highness.
We could reach Jerusalem by dawn tomorrow.
Let Solomon concern himself with the dead. My thoughts are for the living.
I have business with this Sheban queen.
We must ride fast to overtake her.
Horses!
Hai! Hai!
Hai! Go!
Go! Go!
Halt!
Stand aside.
In Israel, I give the orders.
I regret that we did not meet last night when you visited my encampment.
Who are you?
- The king of Israel. - He lies.
Whoever he is, he is an impostor.
The king is an old man, weak with the burden of his years.
Is that why you thought it safe to join forces with the Egyptians?
Give me leave, and I will clear them from the road.
You think you could do better now than you did last night?
David lies dead in Jerusalem. I, Adonijah, am his heir.
- We want no dealings with the Israelites. - Let him speak, Baltor.
- What favor do you seek of me? - If we were dealing in flavors,
- I could bring you the heads of your dead. - Kill him!
- Your own head is not too secure. - Silence, Haran.
I pursued you not to ask flavors but to grant them.
And what favor could an Israelite grant the Queen of Sheba?
A kingdom twice as large as she now rules.
Renounce your alliance with the Pharaoh. Let your banners fly beside mine.
When I have overthrown him, I will give you all his lands that border on your own.
And if I refuse your generosity?
Then I will hurl you down into the same dust that will choke the Pharaoh.
Yours is the choice. Glory with Israel, or disaster with Egypt.
You dog!
My ancestors sat upon the throne of a great country
when yours still crawled on their hands and knees, feeding on insects.
- Is that your answer? - This is my answer.
Haran!
Hail the king of Israel!
- (priest chanting) - (crowd responding)
Solomon.
- Am I in time, Abishag? - He still lives.
Your mother and I have been constantly by his side.
- We must have hope. - My prayers have been answered.
That you are here while your father is able to give you his blessing.
- Mother. - My son.
My son.
Do not despair.
- Is there hope? - His heart still beats,
but his breath is so quenched that it leaves no mist upon the metal.
My father. My king.
Let my prayers call you back from the shadows.
Solomon, peace of the Lord.
In my dream, your face was ever before me.
Now I am here, Father.
- Where is your brother? - Adonijah was detained with his troops.
Ever the soldier, before all else.
Send messages with my command that he return.
It will be done.
Now rest until your strength returns.
- Bring me Nathan the prophet. - I am here, O King.
Summon the elders of the 12 tribes and the council.
I have had a vision from God.
You've been summoned at the king's command. Hear the words of the king.
Has there been no report from the couriers sent to bring Adonijah?
No, sire, none have returned.
Then I must act without him.
40 years I have reigned over you,
and I have been your father and you my beloved children.
Excepting the memory of me which will live in your hearts,
I leave but one monument to my name: the unity of Israel.
Symbol of the 12 tribes, once separate, each striving for dominance,
but now you, the elders of the tribes, stand before me, banded together,
in an indestructible oneness.
You were the last to lead your tribe into the union, Ahab.
And as a pledge of your loyalty, you brought me your only child, Abishag.
I have loved and cherished her as my own daughter,
as I have loved and cherished Israel,
of which she has become the living symbol.
She has been an honor to my house.
And to the household of David.
My day is almost done.
But the day of Israel has hardly dawned.
It is well that I make room for another to follow after me on this throne.
No, you stay the king.
(crowd) No! No!
- His Highness, Prince Adonijah. - Adonijah?
Sire, I have driven like a fury to attend this council
ever since your command reached me.
Behold the two halves of me.
The soldier.
And the poet.
I have loved you both dearly.
Tell me.
- Is there any jealousy between you? - No, sire.
Jealousy of what? Have I a desire to distinguish myself as a scholar?
It is Adonijah's destiny to rule, and I will truly serve him.
It is God who decrees the destinies of his creatures, my son.
As I lay close to death,
out of the darkness a great voice called to me and said
"I am the Lord thy God, who placed thee upon the throne."
"And this I declare unto you:
only in peace can Israel prosper and be made great, not in strife."
And again, the Lord God Jehovah spoke to his servant David:
"Behold, a son has been born unto thee, a man of peace."
"Wherefore, thou hast named him Solomon."
"And I will establish his kingdom for ever."
- The kingdom is mine! - God wills it otherwise.
You made good use of your time alone with him.
You used his weakness against me.
- I knew nothing of this. - You lie.
- You were always a weaver of words. - You accuse him falsely.
After you've chosen him over me? Theirs should be the choice.
- Let them choose. - Aye, hear us.
- Adonijah. - (crowd) Adonijah.
- You, the elders, what say you? - Accept the will of God.
- The crown is mine. I shall fight for it. - Adonijah is the rightful heir.
Act not with violence lest the wrath of God fall upon you.
I have never done anything to deprive you.
Words from the mouth of a hypocrite.
Isn't yours the act of a hypocrite in coming to greet your father?
You who proclaimed yourself king even though you knew David lived.
Has Hezrai spoken truly?
I did not know that you had sent him to spy on me.
Could you not wait until the breath left my body?
- I am weary with waiting. - The king must respect and obey the law.
In proclaiming yourself, you have violated the law of God and man.
I claimed what was mine by right, and I shall never relinquish that right.
How long will it take them to discover his incompetence?
Solomon king? Impossible.
Now it is revealed out of the mouth of Adonijah himself
why God hath turned his face from him.
The wisdom of God passeth all understanding.
As it is written, so let it be done.
Bring forth the waters of Gihon
and here, as God commands,
anoint Solomon king of Israel.
- By the grace of God. - (elders) By the grace of God.
Yield, Adonijah. Yield and bend the knee in the name of God.
Never! Rather would I bend knee to the Pharaoh
than to this brother who has robbed me of my birthright!
Then hold high the tablet of unity before his eyes
so that he may ever remember the purpose of his consecration.
Hail Solomon,
by the grace of God, king of Israel.
(all) Hail Solomon, by the grace of God, king of Israel.
Turn not against thy brother, Solomon.
His blood is hot, but it will cool.
You have my pledge, sire.
I will never forget that he is my brother.
And you, my child, will you remain in the king's household,
or will you return to Gilead with your father Ahab?
When I was brought to the house of David, my people sang songs of gladness,
and I came with joy in my heart.
With the same joy, I will remain within the house of Solomon.
One thing remains heavy on my heart.
In my youth, I dreamed that I would build a mighty temple
to house the Ark of the Covenant.
But I sinned greatly,
and was not fit to erect the habitation of the Lord.
Redeem my vow, my son.
Pledge me that you will build the great temple of which I had dreamed
so that God will have his dwelling place among his people.
I promise you it shall be built.
Be strong and of good courage.
Dread not,
nor be dismayed.
O Lord, my God,
thou hast made thy servant king instead of David, my father,
and I am no more than a little child.
Give therefore unto thy servant an understanding heart
that I may judge thy people,
that I may discern between good and evil,
for who is able to judge this, thy so great a people?
(voice of God) Because thou hast asked this thing
and hast not asked for thyself long life, nor riches for thyself,
nor the life of thine enemies,
but hast asked for understanding to discern judgment.
Behold, I have done according to thy words.
I have given unto thee a wise and understanding heart.
And if thou wilt walk in my ways,
keeping my statutes and my commandments,
I will give unto thee both riches and honor
so there shall not be among the kings of the earth
any like unto thee in all thy days.
- Not good enough. - No?
(Joab laughs)
With you, I am seldom good enough. Double the wager.
Very well.
I should have killed him when he was chosen king.
Patience, Highness. Wait.
- I am not a patient man. - I am aware of that.
Leave us, Joab.
Did you not hear His Majesty, Joab? Obey his command.
For a man whose wisdom is becoming the marvel of the land,
you show a surprising lack of it by coming here alone.
I have come to ask a favor of you.
Knowing that this hand of mine must ache to drive this spear through your body?
I know what is in your heart.
All I ask is that you love your country as much as you hate me.
That would make me the greatest patriot in the history of Israel.
David has laid a great burden upon me.
To rule the kingdom and to build the temple, both of which I have undertaken.
But you have elected to remain here in your lodge,
depriving the people of your great talent as a soldier and a commander.
To build is not enough.
What has been built must be defended against all the enemies of the nation.
For that task, you are far better suited than I.
Return to Jerusalem,
offer your services, not to me, but to your country and your God.
You are offering me command of the army?
Yes.
Even though I might try to use it against you?
Yes.
Well?
I am trying to decide if you are the wisest of the wise,
or the fool of fools.
So Solomon walked in the way of his God,
and through a long era of peace, Israel grew and prospered.
With the completion of the temple,
Solomon had fulfilled a most sacred pledge to his father.
Solomon, king over Israel.
Lord God of Israel, there is no god like thee.
Heaven of heavens cannot contain thee,
how much less this house that I have builded unto thy name?
Yet hear thy servant and his supplication,
and let thy word be verified which thou spakest unto my father David.
And of thy people Israel, when they shall pray towards this place,
hear thou in heaven, and when thou hearest, forgive.
For they be thy people as this house is thine,
that all the earth may know the Lord is God.
There is none else.
(all) Amen.
Come. Come.
Come...
Oh, Majesty!
Come and join us, Baltor. I am teaching my bird to obey.
Takyan disapproves. I need an ally.
That is exactly what the Pharaoh is complaining about.
The Pharaoh is complaining? We will have to teach him.
Another message has just arrived from Egypt.
- Let it wait. - But it is a serious matter.
The Pharaoh has called a conference of all the kings.
Sit down, Baltor. You make Tokki nervous.
A deeper shade, Takyan.
Pomegranate. That is the right color.
Well, Baltor?
What is the problem this time?
Your Majesty, the problem is the Israelites.
They proclaim peace yet strengthen their army, and for what purpose?
They are afraid of the Pharaoh, perhaps.
What have we to fear?
In spite of our eternal hatred, we now have friendly relations with Israel.
True, but our security is threatened.
Almost fanatically they support their great King Solomon.
A dreamer. A man of peace.
But a man of ideas, and there is nothing more dangerous than a man with an idea.
- The threat is real? - Very real.
Solomon's threat is not only his army, but his god.
His god? We have a hundred gods.
This is one god who teaches that all men are equal and none are slaves.
What a foolish idea.
And yet... if that idea were to take hold of the people,
the Queen of Sheba would soon come crashing down from her throne.
As would all other absolute monarchs.
Therefore I strongly advise Your Majesty to attend this conference.
You see, Baltor? To catch the bird, first bait the trap.
Perhaps we can help the Pharaoh solve the problem of Solomon,
and kill two birds with one stone.
Since Solomon came to the throne of Israel, I've watched his strength grow
until now his power has become a threat to my borders.
And the wealth and trade which once came to us now finds its way to him.
For too long we have delayed plans for his destruction.
- Yes, take up arms against him. - Raise a great host.
- Trample Israel into the dust. - King Eglon.
- From Moab, I want 1 ,000 chariots. - I will send you 2,000.
Kaldu, from Chaldea you will send me 5,000 archers.
- More if they are needed. - We will attack exactly as I have planned.
From the north, the east and the south, at the same time, by surprise.
They will not know how or where to make a defense.
- We will drive them into the sea. - And Sheba.
What force will you send against Solomon?
None.
Why? Are you not my ally?
We must put an end to Israel, and with it this dangerous idea of one god.
You talk of war. How can you destroy an idea, a faith,
with the point of your spears?
There is only one way it can be done.
What do you suggest? Have you a plan?
I have.
But for every plan, there is a price.
What do you want this time?
The port of Melish on the Red Sea in return for the downfall of Solomon.
- That is impossible. - Melish is my port.
This time you ask for too much, Sheba.
Tell me, what would be the cost of a war against Israel?
You know very well.
And I offer you a plan almost without cost.
His Majesty hesitates, Baltor.
Perhaps we should return to Sheba rather than to visit Jerusalem.
Wait.
I grant it.
- And how will you destroy Solomon? - It is said that Solomon is wise.
But no matter how wise a man may be,
he is still human, with a human weakness.
I will sit at the feet of Solomon like the wise men who flock to Jerusalem.
And perhaps I will learn from his own lips the way to destroy him.
Truly, the way of a woman is beyond our understanding.
The way of a woman is simple, my lord.
It is always to follow the way of a man.
I shall keep myself informed of your progress in Jerusalem.
(flutes and drums)
Mother! Come! Look! Mother!
(bells)
Halt!
My compliments. I am Benaiah, sent to escort you into Jerusalem.
Greetings. Her Majesty the Queen of Sheba.
Your Majesty, the king of Israel wishes me to convey his greetings to you.
Truly, your king has built nobly.
There is no such splendour, even in Egypt.
And all that for a god he cannot even see.
Forward.
(fanfare)
Do you think she will be as beautiful as we have heard?
This is something I never thought to see, a pagan welcomed to Israel.
How can a pagan be converted to the true God unless she knows him?
We must never forget she is an ally of Egypt.
Because she is an ally of Egypt, we must show her our unity and our strength.
Let us offer her our friendship in the hope that we have one less enemy.
She is very beautiful, isn't she?
Your Royal Majesty.
Permit me to present my sovereign, Her Royal Majesty, the Queen of Sheba.
Israel extends a warm welcome to Your Majesty.
I am grateful for your permission to visit your beautiful country.
After so much traveling, you must be pleased to have reached your destination.
If I had traveled ten times the distance it would be forgotten
in the face of the marvels I have seen,
and in the splendour of your city of Jerusalem.
If it pleases you, we can dispense with ceremony and let you rest.
You are most considerate.
But first, let me offer a token of my appreciation
for the kindness you have shown to a stranger within your gates.
- Baltor. - Haran!
- So many gifts. - Yes, and brought from so far.
Such riches.
I have no adequate words to express my thanks and the gratitude of my people.
Along with them, I offer my hand
in the hope that this day will mark the beginning of a closer friendship
between Israel and Sheba.
That would be the most welcome gift of all.
Benaiah, do you suppose the land of the Shebans is always like this?
I would think so, yes.
We must not keep the queen waiting.
(gong)
Welcome.
A message for your queen.
Her Majesty the Queen.
His Majesty King Solomon sends his greetings
and has commanded me - has commanded us -
to inform Your Majesty that in response to Your Majesty's request
he will be most happy to receive you in private audience.
He is most gracious.
How thoughtful of the king to send so charming an envoy.
He doesn't know I'm here.
I was so anxious to come.
Then I am even more pleased. Come in.
You are the first of His Majesty's court to visit me.
How interesting your encampment is.
Are your people always so carefree and gay?
We enjoy life and pleasure.
- Don't you? - Yes, we do.
But we are an austere people. We tend to be more serious.
And your king. Is he also serious?
King Solomon has a great responsibility.
He must maintain the unity of our 12 tribes.
It is very important, this unity?
Oh, yes. Without it, there would be no Israel.
The gods of Sheba. Mal-Ra, the guardian of destiny.
Kol, god of the sun and stars.
Rama, who sends the rain.
We have many gods.
In Israel, we have one god.
When he fails you, do you blame him for everything?
He never fails us.
You must find it gratifying to be so close to your king.
Are you his sister, perhaps?
Sometimes he calls me that. We have been very close to each other,
ever since I came to live in the house of his father.
Do you stay long in Israel?
That depends upon your king.
You are charming. Innocent.
And you fulfill all my expectations.
For you.
From the land of Sheba.
A gift from its queen.
This Solomon the Almighty...
Almighty what?
20 men surrounding him, and he calls it a private audience.
- He has entertained you royally... - And those state banquets!
I at one end, he at the other.
And in between us, a lot of sour-faced old men.
Not once have I been with him alone. Not once.
But we have only been here five days.
This Solomon is more difficult to approach than the Pharaoh of Egypt.
This great king has time for everything, except the time for being a man.
Send him to me, Rha-Gon, god of love.
Make me the most desirable of women.
Make my lips sweet as honey,
my skin soft and fragrant like the petals of a flower.
Give him to me.
I want him at my feet.
(gong)
(Takyan) Your Majesty has a royal visitor.
Her Majesty and I have met before.
My apologies to Your Majesty.
I regret that I was unable to be at the reception to welcome you.
Had you been there, it would have made my welcome complete.
Your Majesty is gracious. Rather different from the occasion of your last visit.
If I remember rightly, Your Highness was then a king.
Yes. And as a king, I offered you an alliance against the Pharaoh.
And my answer was not too kind.
So I remember.
This time I venture to offer you another alliance.
Do you come as envoy from the king of Israel?
I come as Adonijah, rightful heir to the throne of Israel.
An alliance between us could give us many things we both desire.
Do you want Sheban arms to help you usurp your brother's throne?
Solomon is the usurper.
Once I am on the throne, our lands could encircle Egypt,
and all of the kings would be at our mercy.
Why should I want them at my mercy?
I maintain good relations with the kings.
And King Solomon is my friend.
So how could your offer possibly interest me?
Has the screaming eagle been transformed into a cooing dove?
How dull the world would be if people never changed.
I am wiser, Prince Adonijah.
I no longer do battle with a sword.
That's why I find your visit so disturbing.
I find it difficult to believe that you come bearing an olive branch of peace.
What else could I bring to King Solomon, who is a man of peace?
Your Majesty, it is clear that I waste your time as well as mine.
With Your Majesty's permission...
I think I understood you better as the screaming eagle.
He is still a dog.
Let the women in judgment come forward.
Never before has an alien sat beside our king in judgment.
Her presence profanes all Israel.
Who makes complaint?
My Lord King, this woman Leah and I dwell within the same house.
I was delivered of a child.
On the third day after I was delivered, she was delivered also.
There was no one in the house but we two.
In the night, this woman's child died because she lay upon it,
wherefore she removed my son from beside me while I slept
and laid her dead child against my bosom.
- She lies. - (Solomon) Silence.
And when I rose in the morning to nurse my child, he was dead.
- Not so, Lord Solomon. - The truth, Lord King.
For when I looked at the child in my arms, I knew it was not the son that I did bear.
- It was her own child and none other. - The living child is mine.
- The dead is yours, the living mine. - Bring the infant forward.
Josiah.
Place the child on the steps before me and show him to me.
Draw your sword, Josiah.
Divide the child into two parts.
Give half to the one woman, half to the other.
No!
If it must be,
give the child to her that it may not be slain.
Divide it. It should be neither hers nor mine.
Take your son, mother. He is surely yours.
May the Lord God Jehovah praise and bless you.
You would rather have surrendered him to another than to see him harmed.
And take this woman hence
and administer to her punishment to fit her perjury.
She lies. She lies.
It's not right. The child is mine.
Mine!
Now, at last, I have seen a judgment of Solomon,
and your wisdom amazes me.
Whatever wisdom has been given me, it was for the benefit of my people.
Continue to teach me, I beg of you,
so that I may gain a greater insight into the wonder of your understanding.
It will enable me to become a better and wiser ruler over my own people.
Real wisdom lies in the ability to decide between the true and the false.
Can you believe that only four years ago, all this was barren desert?
You have such a joy in all you have accomplished.
It is a joy to make the desert bloom by bringing water from the mountains.
You have made this into a paradise.
The water, the work, the warmth of the sun have done it, not I.
In the last few days, I have shown you much of Israel.
But you have not told me anything of your own country.
At this moment, my own land seems as distant as the stars.
In my youth, I used to dream of visiting all the faraway kingdoms of the earth.
And now instead, the rulers of those countries come to you.
You rule Sheba alone.
From the beginning of time, only queens have ruled in Sheba.
That is our law.
I would be happy to tell Your Majesty many things concerning my country
if I were sure it would be of interest to you.
Why do you say that?
Because after all the times I have visited you,
you have not returned the compliment by visiting my encampment.
And me.
Perhaps I was waiting for an invitation.
You promise to accept?
I promise.
I am so happy that at last you have come to visit me.
My people feel honored.
It is your guest who feels honored.
You are not bored by our primitive pastimes?
No, it interests me to learn what amuses you.
Enough, Takyan.
If I do not prevent it, my people would stay and stare at you.
Fabled Solomon.
The way I stare at you?
(gong)
This is the hour of Rha-Gon.
Every evening, I make an offering to him.
Rha-Gon, giver of life, god of love,
accept this token of my gratitude and devotion.
(gong)
The Feast of Rha-Gon is the most sacred rite
celebrated each year in the land of Sheba.
But tonight let there be no talk of gods.
Not even of wisdom.
And there is Sheban wine to warm the heart.
My offering to you.
Tonight, we are alone in a different world.
My world.
Yes, we are in a different world.
Is not the wine to your taste, my Lord?
It almost made me forget that you are an ally of the Pharaoh.
An enemy of Israel.
Your Majesty, everything is prepared for tonight.
I chose this one.
Mmm. Attar of roses. I love it.
- The king's favorite scent. - How do you know?
The women of his harem told me.
I don't want to remind him of other women.
What else have you heard?
They complain of Solomon's neglect of them.
There is no reason to be jealous of me as yet.
In spite of the way he left, he must have had difficulty forgetting you.
Tonight, I will make it even more difficult.
Dry me.
He may still come, Majesty. It is not yet midnight.
Do I need you to tell me the time?
Take it away. Get it out of my sight.
How dare he treat me this way!
What does he think I am? Just another cat in his royal cage?!
I don't care if he never comes!
Never. Never.
Weren't you supposed to dine with her?
- Yes, I was. - Then why are you sitting here alone?
I felt in need of being alone.
What is it that weighs so heavily upon your heart?
Has it come to where you can read my thoughts?
Haven't I always shared your thoughts?
Yes.
At times, a man feels drawn toward the dangers that confront him,
even at the risk of his own destruction.
Like a moth approaches a flame.
Is there something different about this flame?
I could put it out in one second.
- Wouldn't that be simpler? - Such a little flame, Abishag.
And yet unrestrained, it could destroy all of Jerusalem.
Simpler, yes,
but perhaps without it, there would be darkness.
In light or in darkness, you've only to reach for my hand.
I'll be at your side always.
- Good night. - Good night.
- His Majesty. - His Majesty.
(excited chatter)
(gong)
Sire.
Her Majesty awaited you until after midnight and then she retired.
- (Solomon) I'm sorry. - Takyan, admit His Majesty.
I have disturbed your rest.
Could I rest, thinking that perhaps I had displeased you in some way?
Now you have to be completely truthful with me.
Why did you come to Jerusalem?
Why do you ask me such a question now?
Because I know that behind those lovely eyes is the brain of a very clever woman
who would never have traveled 800 leagues without a purpose.
You have found me out.
I will confess to you.
The Pharaoh is paying me a fabulous price to spy on you.
To deliver to him all of your secrets.
I have considered that, but Israel has no real secrets from Egypt.
Pharaoh is aware of our weaknesses and our strength.
How could I hope to deceive you?
I have been trying to entrap you.
With these.
To bind you to me in soft chains so that I may do with you as I will.
Now perhaps we are approaching the truth.
Every woman exacts her price from a man.
You're a queen, but you also demand a price.
I do. So great that I wonder if you will pay it.
I want you to love me wholly, completely,
and that love to be the most precious thing in your life.
I hope it is true,
but if it is not, then let me remain blind to the truth.
Even when you are not with me, I find myself trying to recall
every moment we have spent together.
The words you have said to me, I will never forget.
After what has come to pass between us, new words keep singing in my heart.
- Tell them to me. - Behold, thou art fair, my love.
Thine eyes are as doves, thy lips are as pomegranates.
How much better is thy love than wine.
I have never before known such happiness.
Nor I, and if I have thought I was happy, I know now that I was deceived.
You look like two birds who have hatched out a nestful of snakes.
You may speak freely. I have no secrets from Joab.
We have come to take counsel with Your Highness.
About what? I am the commander of the host, not a minister of state.
It concerns the king.
- Then why not consult with him? - Because he will not listen.
Grave criticism is being brought against him by people.
Who would dare to murmur against the great Solomon?
His association with the Sheban queen has developed into an open scandal.
Worse, he has even brought this pagan woman to live within the palace,
daring to install her in an apartment adjoining his own private chambers.
That is his affair, not mine.
We thought perhaps if you were to talk to him privately, reason with him.
Point out that it is a matter of concern not only to the high priest
but to the prophet and the council.
I, presume to admonish His Majesty?
You forget, Hezrai, he is the king. The king can do no wrong.
Well, something must be done.
Not by me. You are his chancellor, Hezrai, and you his high priest, Zadok.
You do something. You reason with him.
We had hoped for the cooperation of Your Highness.
You have it. My sympathies and my best wishes.
We thank you for receiving us.
Not at all, not at all.
Always at your service.
It could not have served your interests better if you had arranged her visit.
The priesthood is aroused against him. The council condemns him.
Even the people talk openly of his shame.
Your Highness is reflecting my own thoughts.
I would be a fool to ignore such an opportunity.
You might have to wait forever for another one like this.
I will solve Hezrai and Zadok's problem for them
and at the same time, my own.
Or rather, this is a problem that you, Joab, with a little help, will solve.
I await your command, Highness.
(gong)
Your Majesty commanded me to attend upon her?
It took you long enough to get here. I sent Takyan to bring you an hour ago.
Ten minutes ago, if Your Majesty pleases.
Come in. Don't stand there arguing with me.
In what way can I serve Your Majesty?
You can arrange for my safe conduct out of Israel.
Stop looking at me like that! Do as I tell you!
- But when, Your Majesty? - Now. Today. This minute.
Your Majesty will pardon me if I seem shocked...
Do I have to consult you first concerning everything I wish to do?
Your Majesty would go without accomplishing her purpose?
Permit me to decide the question of my comings and goings.
Your Majesty will forgive me if I venture to touch upon her personal, private affairs.
Get to the point, Baltor.
I have sensed a change in Your Majesty. A softening.
A desire to evade reality.
You are accusing me of being in love with him? Is that it?
I hope for Your Majesty's own sake that such is not the case.
And if such is the case,
do you deny me the right for the first time in my life to be human?
May I remind Your Majesty that you cannot put your personal feelings
above the Pharaoh and the good of your country?
Don't lecture me, Baltor.
Your Majesty once told me that you could not afford the luxury of being a woman,
that always you were forced to remember that you are a queen,
and that your only love, your only thought, must be your duty.
Your Majesty came to Jerusalem
in search of a means to destroy an enemy whom you once hated!
Yes, Baltor.
I have been trying to evade reality.
I have found myself trying to forget the purpose for which I came,
as one would try to forget an evil dream.
I have been reluctant to make an end of him.
The most merciful way to kill is to thrust quickly and strongly with a knife.
It seems to me that we are no nearer a kill than we were before we came.
You are wrong, Baltor. I have known for days how to destroy Solomon.
Suppose I get his permission to hold the rites of Rha-Gon upon the soil of Israel,
to set up a pagan god in the face of the great Jehovah,
the one god who commands the Israelites to have no other god before him?
That would cause more than angry murmurings against him.
The priests and the people would rise up against Solomon.
Yes, Baltor.
His own people would accomplish his end.
Are you satisfied now that I am still the Queen of Sheba?
Majesty.
How many times shall I tell you that I love you?
Over and over, until you make me believe it.
I will.
But you have known so many loves.
I will take you by the hand
and in the temple, before all Israel, I'll pledge you my love in marriage.
To shut me away in your harem? To share your love?
No, to share my throne with you.
You honor me, but I am already a queen.
We will join our lands as we will join our lives.
A dream that can never be. Too much stands between us.
Nothing must stand between us.
Not even our gods?
I knew this moment would come, for the things we believe in are not the same.
I had hoped that in time you would come to accept Jehovah.
As king of Israel, would you abandon the god of your people for mine?
Still I dared hope.
My love, I must leave Israel.
Why? Why? I cannot let you go.
The time has come for the yearly feast of Rha-Gon.
Can you grant me permission to hold it here in Israel?
It would be a sacrilege.
Then I must go to celebrate it elsewhere.
You see? You cannot banish what stands between us.
No, wait. Listen to me. There must be a way to...
No!
(screams)
Help! Help! The king!
Help! Guard! Josiah!
Joab.
Are you safe, sire?
We'll deliver him to the one who sent him.
(guard) Come on!
Thank all the gods you are not harmed.
For the first time in my life, I... I had no thought for myself.
I feared only for him.
(horses approaching)
(Josiah) You men, that way. The rest, follow me.
Are you expecting me to plead for mercy?
I have overlooked your hatred because of your value to Israel.
- I pledged never to turn against you. - I asked for no pledge.
But tonight you raised your hand against the life of Israel.
You and your Sheban slut have defiled the fair name of Israel.
I sought only to preserve our country from your contamination.
Only because the blood of David flows through your veins as well as mine,
I grant you your life, but I banish you from Israel forever.
I suppose I should be grateful, but you should be concerned with your own life -
if it has not already been lost to the poison of Sheba.
- Remove him, Josiah. - Take him, and him.
I charge you to cleanse yourself of this iniquity you have permitted to spawn.
Abjure this woman of her idolatries. Tear down the abomination she has erected.
I have given her permission to hold the sacred rite of her own religion.
A pagan revel! An orgy!
I have no apology to make for what I have done.
As I have commanded, so shall it be.
You have broken God's covenant and his commandment:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
"Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven images."
"Thou shalt not kill." But murder was attempted against me.
If Sheba had not escaped, the assassins would not have spared her.
The permission I have granted is poor compensation for the crime attempted.
It seems that in your lust for this woman, you have lost your reason.
Choose your words carefully, Hezrai. It is love I have for her.
Out of love, I offered to share this throne with her.
And out of love, I will attend her ritual.
- Hear me, Solomon. - I have heard all I want to hear from you.
Then hear the voice of God.
The royal raiment will be stripped from you.
You will cry out your repentance,
but the ears and hearts of your people will be closed against you.
And my ears are closed to cackling priests and mumbling old men.
I will show you I am king in Israel, not you.
- Woe unto you, Solomon. - (murmuring)
(all) Rha-Gon! Rha-Gon!
Hear us, O Rha-Gon, god of love, giver of life.
Let thy spirit enter into our bodies.
Endow our men with strength and vitality
and our women with endless fruitfulness.
(frenzied singing)
(distant drums and singing)
My door was closed.
Must you intrude upon my privacy?
Can you shut out your conscience by closing the door?
Say what you must, then please leave me alone.
I come seeking the man I once knew.
The man who was noble, gentle and kind, the man who walked with God.
- Those are mere words, Abishag. - I entreat you to listen.
When I was a child, you were the world and I adored you.
But time passed, and love changed even as I did.
My love became that of a woman for a man.
But the man became a king,
and in his eyes, the woman was still a child.
(drums and singing)
I know how strongly it calls to you.
Listen to your people. Their love calls to you, as I call in my love.
Listen to them if not to me.
Whether you or my people approve, I must go.
You cannot go. Do not destroy yourself!
I beg of you!
(tempo quickens)
(laughter)
(wild shrieking)
Lord God, hear the prayer of thy servant.
Mine was not the strength to save my lord Solomon from himself.
But thine is the power. Let not thy wrath descend upon him.
Look into his heart and pity him.
But if it be thy will to punish him, visit it upon me in his stead.
(shrieking)
(women screaming)
Oh, no.
Why?
The sin was mine. Why did you not strike me?
I warned you, Solomon. The hand of God is upon you.
(devotional singing in Hebrew)
(murmured prayers)
Majesty, you must rest.
I cannot rest, Takyan.
I have come to ask your permission to arrange your immediate departure.
Yes.
Let us go - quickly.
There is no reason for us to remain now that I have accomplished my purpose.
Your Majesty should not reproach herself. It was nothing more than a sudden storm.
It is not the first time lightning has dealt death, nor will it be the last.
Was it nothing more than a coincidence?
Surely Your Majesty cannot believe the Israelites,
that it was a sign of the anger and revenge of their god?
- I no longer know what I do believe. - Majesty, you're overwrought.
Yes, the strain of the last few days has affected us all.
But this is your hour of triumph. The Pharaoh will rejoice in your victory.
Sheba can be proud of her queen.
I am very proud of myself.
I have earned my reward from Egypt. We will have our port on the Red Sea.
We will have more gold, more power, more everything.
Because I have betrayed a great man who trusted me,
who loved me beyond all else.
The Sheban. The Sheban is coming.
Here comes the Sheban.
- The Sheban. - Come away.
Your Majesty understands that it is not a request that you attend the council.
It is a command from the elders of the tribes.
I have no wish to evade what they have to say to me.
You should not have taken the risk of coming here.
If I had not come now,
I might have lost the courage to come at all.
Once, you asked me for truth.
And I answered you with truth, but I made it sound like a lie to deceive you.
For I was a friend of the Pharaoh and an enemy of Israel,
and I came here out of hatred to destroy you.
Had I known this the day you arrived in Jerusalem,
it would have changed nothing.
Mine is the greater guilt.
For I have known from the first where you would lead, I would follow.
But why did you not just go without explanations?
Because I love you.
What I have done, I cannot undo.
Do with me what you will, but this you must believe.
My love is not a lie.
Think not to appease the wrath of Israel with remorse.
Neither will God's anger be turned aside.
I will speak no words in my defense.
What could you say in view of your transgressions?
Because of you, dissension fills the land.
The unity of the nation is sundered.
Even as this,
the symbol of its oneness, is broken into fragments.
The elders of the tribes deny you as their king and depart from you.
The Lord God will smite you into the dust
and his people will praise his name.
So be it.
Folly is set on great heights,
and that which has been done is that which shall be done.
Who knows what is good for a man in his life,
his vain life which he spends as a shadow?
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
(voice of God) But if ye turn away and forsake my statutes,
then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them,
and this house which is high
shall be an astonishment to everyone that passeth by it, so that he shall say
"Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land and unto this house?"
And it shall be answered "Because they forsook the Lord God of their fathers
which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt
and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them."
"Therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them."
The elders have denounced Solomon,
and the captains of the host have returned to their own provinces.
This is the time to strike, Majesty.
All Israel is in turmoil, and Solomon stands alone.
It seems that your information is more accurate than mine.
Has not the Queen of Sheba given you a full report on the situation?
I have been wondering, awaiting word from her.
You mean she has told you nothing of what I have reported?
Nothing.
Perhaps in her new love, she has forgotten her obligation to you
and finds her alliance with Solomon more to her liking.
You have told me everything I should know,
excepting your price for my support of you against your brother.
I want the crown of Israel. It has always been mine.
And command of the army that you send against Solomon.
I grant it.
But there is one thing I want from you.
You will be the instrument of my punishment of Sheba
for her betrayal of me.
On that, Majesty, you can rely.
Hail to the new king of Israel.
Can your brother equal such strength?
He will be able to gather only a handful of followers.
We will strike quickly. The victory must be decisive.
How many do they number?
Thousands.
- You saw them cross over the border? - Yes, Majesty.
A column from horizon to horizon.
It was to be expected eventually.
We'll go out and face the Egyptians.
Give the orders, Josiah.
Gather what forces you can.
Yes, sire.
With these we hope to stem the Egyptian horde?
My father David faced Goliath with a stone and a shepherd's sling.
God was with David.
- Forgive me, sire. - There is nothing to forgive.
All Israel knows that God has abandoned the son of David.
Majesty, you let him go without a word of farewell.
What could I have said to him?
How could I have told him that I carry his child?
- Halt! - Halt!
- Highness, the enemy has been sighted. - At what distance?
Within one hour's march.
Then they have traveled ten leagues since dawn and we have traveled one.
They are spent and exhausted and we are still fresh.
Two hours yet before the sun sets.
- Deploy your men. - Give the order.
We want every man, horse, chariot, hidden from Solomon's view.
When he rides into the trap, our attack will hit him from every quarter.
Now deploy for attack!
Deploy for attack!
Take your positions. Deploy for attack!
Sire, our men are spent. Shall we call a rest?
They will rest at the dunes of Saladar.
There we will entrench and await the enemy.
Let the battle be joined as far from Jerusalem as possible.
Sire. Look, men on the hill.
- Halt the column. - Halt!
Shunammites!
They bear a flag of friendship.
Ahab!
We come to stand with the king.
Why do you offer me your support in this dark hour?
Is your hatred for the Egyptians greater than your hatred for me?
We come in memory of the love my daughter Abishag gave to you.
- Then we will honor that memory. - God willing.
Fall in behind.
- Josiah. - Forward at the trot.
Forward!
Start the attack.
Attack! Attack!
Form a circle.
Sire, your brother has joined forces with the Egyptians against you.
Break through. Break through. Faster.
Tell the Egyptians to break through with their horsemen.
- Break the circle. - Charge!
Sound the retreat.
Joab, find Solomon.
Let's try over there.
Your Highness, we found Solomon's shield but so far not Solomon.
He must have crawled off to hide with his rabble.
In the morning, we will dig them out of their burrows.
I have more important things than to occupy myself with a rabbit hunt.
Keep searching. There'll be gold for the man who brings me the head of Solomon.
I'm impatient to enter Jerusalem. I do not wish to be delayed by a slow army.
You will have no trouble in destroying Solomon's resistance.
When you have vanquished them, follow me into Jerusalem with all speed.
How many men will you need to enter?
Only a small escort. I will meet with no resistance there.
Your commands will be obeyed.
Colonel Hassin with six officers will go with His Majesty to Jerusalem.
There'll be few of us left to face Adonijah and his Egyptians by tomorrow.
The faint-hearted are deserting us in the darkness.
Can you blame them, Josiah,
after they have seen even my own brother turn against me?
I thought I knew the driving passion of his ambitions,
but never did I think he would betray his own people.
(footsteps)
We only found a few scattered units of our people,
almost afraid to show themselves even in the darkness.
In the morning, the Egyptians will march over us into Jerusalem.
No matter how few of us are left, we will fight on.
If I cannot live as a king with honor,
at least I can die as a king with honor.
(wailing)
Woe unto us! Our king is defeated!
Majesty.
The outcry is over the news brought by deserters from Solomon's army.
It seems he has been defeated, his men routed.
Is he... among the dead?
No one knows, but all say that by morning,
not one Israelite will escape alive.
Now will Your Majesty seek safety? The Israelites will blame you.
I beg Your Majesty, do not refuse again. You must save yourself.
- Majesty, where are you going? - Do not try to stop me, Baltor.
I will not let you take the risk of going into the streets.
Stand aside!
I command you both, do not follow after me.
(man) Solomon is vanquished! How are the mighty fallen.
(man ""2) Woe unto us. The Egyptians will be upon us.
(man ""3) The Lord has punished Solomon for his sins.
Who will save us now from Pharaoh?
(man ""4) Our sins have brought this upon us.
Woe unto us. The Egyptians have overthrown our noble Solomon.
Pharaoh will slay us all.
(man ""5) Solomon did not follow the path of God.
God of Israel,
thou who art called the all-knowing, the compassionate,
look into my heart and hear my prayer.
Forgive my sin against thee and thy people.
Grant me the life of Solomon and preserve him against his enemies.
Do this, and I will return to the land of Sheba and cast down the false gods.
And I will build a tabernacle to the glory of thy name,
and there shall be no other gods before thee.
Josiah.
- What has alarmed you, sire? - Not alarm, but hope.
Hope that comes like a light in the midst of darkness.
It is as though God had come to me and showed me the way.
Yes?
Sire.
- Our men return. - And there.
And there!
They rally to us, by the hundreds.
Set them to burnishing their shields. Let them shine like mirrors.
Yes, sire.
I remember you once lectured me, Hezrai, on how a king of Israel is crowned.
Are there any among you who deny my right to sit upon this throne?
Then I need no senseless ritual to attend my elevation.
No anointing with the waters of Gihon.
I take with my own hands what has always been mine.
Hail Adonijah, Lion of Israel.
Hail Adonijah.
Know this, all of you. I have made an alliance with the Pharaoh.
Under his protection, I will rule Israel,
and I'll have no mercy on any who oppose me.
Sire, the Sheban harlot has been found.
She has taken refuge in the temple.
- Halt! - Halt!
- Again the Israelites. - Where did they gather so many men?
Last night we could find none, only their dead.
In a few minutes, they will all be dead.
Today there is no darkness into which they can escape.
They face east, and will be blinded by the sun.
- Prepare for a frontal attack. - Frontal attack.
- They are going to charge us. - Wait for my signal.
(shouted orders)
Attack. Strike them down.
Attack!
Charge!
Sire?
- Now! - Shields forward.
Lord God of Israel, thine is the victory.
Thou art our sword and our shield.
Lord God of hosts.
Thou art the Lord God. What thou hast done was out of love for thy people.
If thou knowest what is in my heart, grant me forgiveness.
Amen.
Ahab. Josiah.
Choose 20 men. Mount them on horses.
Gather up the Egyptians' banners from the dust.
We will ride with them to Jerusalem to proclaim that the City of David is saved.
By now, Solomon is dead by his own deeds.
An Egyptian sword has rendered judgment upon him.
It is I, Adonijah, who has prevented the hordes from falling upon you
and razing this city.
- Hail Adonijah, Saviour of Israel. - (sparsely) Hail Adonijah.
There in the temple is the cause of all your troubles.
It was she who brought disaster upon Israel.
- What shall be done with her? - Let the dogs devour her.
- Drag her through the streets. - Give her to us.
The sanctuary of the temple must not be violated.
(murmuring)
In the Israel that I rule, there is no sanctuary for a pagan harlot.
You are her judges. I give her to you.
(murmuring)
Let me pass.
Once before I told you I was king and you called me an impostor.
Now I shall prove to you that I am the king.
I grant you the honor of my first judgment.
Stone her!
- I have spoken. Obey my command. - Stone her.
Kill the pagan slut.
Solomon! Victory! Victory!
Victory! Victory! Solomon returns.
- Victory! - Solomon!
Solomon! Once before you robbed me of my birthright,
but this time I'll not be denied!
Sheathe your sword. I will not break my pledge.
I will sheathe it in your heart.
(groans)
When none in Jerusalem believed that you and Israel could be saved,
she came into the temple and before the sanctuary prayed you might be spared.
For thine is the power and the glory.
For ever.
Because thou didst call upon my name in thy dark hour, I have heard thee.
Return therefore until thine own land
and keep the covenant thou didst make with me.
Now I can tell you that I am to bear the child of our love.
Now you will be queen over Israel, and our son shall reign after me.
No.
I gave promise to God that I would return to my own land.
For that he granted me your life and his forgiveness.
But how can I let you go?
Your child shall reign in the land of Sheba.
And if God grants us the blessing of a son,
then for the first time Sheba shall have a king,
and he shall walk in the way of the Lord God Jehovah.
That we must part is our atonement.
If this be thy will, O God,
I submit to thy judgment.
May thou watch between us while we are apart, one from the other.
I will be with you... always.
Shout unto God, all the earth. Sing praises unto the glory of his name.
Sing praises unto the Lord, O Israel.
Be gracious unto us, God.
- And bless us. - And bless us.
For his anger is but for a moment.
But his love is for ever.
Weeping may tarry for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning.
