Saul and David
Description:
David of Bethlehem, slays the giant and become a rival to King Saul.
From the Old Testament, the First Book of Samuel; this beautifully filmed story of David's life with King Saul has all the power and sensitivity of the Biblical account.
King Saul, requesting a conqueror to slay the Philistine giant Goliath, is amused when the child-servant of God, David of Bethlehem, answers his request. With the faith in God, David slays the giant and wins the love and admiration of Israel and the King. David becomes a great warrior for the King's army.
Even though King Saul comes to admire David, the King starts to slowly lose faith in God. With the spirit of God departed from Saul, David is anointed King of Israel, thus begins a love-hate relationship between Saul and David. As the blessings of God fall upon David and he is exalted, Saul's fury rises against him in this epic tale
