Saul and Jonathan were swifter
than eagles, fiercer than lions.
In their death, they were not divided.
Jonathan, you were
like a brother to me.
Kill me!
Beloved Saul,
you called me your son.
When the Philistines
crushed your army...
... God made your crown
fall into my hands.
my army and I approached Jerusalem.
Our numbers are too great
to stay here in Hebron.
I have appealed to the Jebusites...
... to make their city of Jerusalem
our capital.
They claim they can beat
back our armies...
... with nothing but the sick
and the lame.
What do you think?
Shall we test that boast?
Look what becomes
of the well of Jerusalem.
Tell your city elders
... is now in the hands of King David
of the Israelites.
They've captured the well!
You have a choice.
You can join us and live
in peace and security...
... or oppose us and die of thirst.
Please. Please, sir.
Enter our city in peace.
O my God,
you have made this city...
... a blessing
for your faithful servant, David.
Thank you for Jerusalem...
and children...
... and all my once-weak and
scattered tribes can rest...
... and live as a united nation
to serve you, O Lord.
Lord...
... who am I that you have brought me
to this beautiful city...
... and this beautiful house?
You know my heart, Lord.
You know all the great things
you have done for me...
... that I would know your will.
We are your people...
... forever, Lord.
From a humble shepherd, Lord,
you have lifted me up...
... to be king over your city
and your people...
... as you did for that humble farmer
from the tribe of Benjamin...
... the man named Saul.
Father...
... the mules...
... they're gone.
Abner, stay here.
Jonathan, come with me.
We'll get them back.
Are we being punished, Father?
I don't know.
I don't need to know.
We're at the border
of Benjamite territory.
If they're much further, they're lost.
I have faith the Lord wouldn't
make us come this far for nothing.
Have you found
our animals in the town?
No, master. But there is
in the city a man of God.
An honorable man.
What he says comes to pass.
We've no gifts for a holy man.
I have this silver.
Bless you, Jonathan.
We'll go and see him tomorrow.
We're looking for lost mules.
Perhaps you're the man
who can help us.
Come...
... up here with me.
Don't concern yourself
about your mules.
They've been found.
Did you say our mules
had been found?
Perhaps you know
that the tribes of Israel...
... have decided to ask God for a king.
We've all heard it.
I am the Lord's prophet...
... Samuel.
And yesterday...
... the Lord spoke to me,
and he said, "Tomorrow...
... at about this time...
... you'll meet a man
out of the tribe of Benjamin.
Anoint him to be
the captain of my people...
... and to save them from the Ammonites
and the Philistines. "
The Benjamites are
My family is the least important
of all the Benjamin tribe.
None of that matters now,
since the Lord is with you.
You are the one on whom
On you...
... and all your father's house.
With his blessing...
... the Lord has anointed you...
... as prince over all Israel.
Listen to the word of the Lord.
Obey his commandments.
Your enemies will flee...
... and your kingdom shall prosper.
Now rise to your feet.
I'm your humble servant,
my lord king.
Hail King Saul.
God bless him.
The Lord has seen you
as fit to do a king's work.
Trust him.
Is that all?
Today, after you depart from me,
you should travel to Rachel's sepulcher.
- I know it.
- There you shall meet two men.
They will show you that the mules
that you went to seek are found.
Then you shall come
to the plain of Tabor...
... where you will meet three men
going up to God at Bethel.
And they will gift you with goats
and bread and wine.
And then you shall meet
... coming from a high place.
And the spirit of God
will come over you.
God has given me another heart.
What is my first task?
To gather together the tribes...
... strike back at the Ammonites...
... and win a war.
God save King Saul!
God save King Saul!
God save King Saul!
God save King Saul!
Welcome, men!
Welcome to the army of Israel!
I will give orders to our forces...
... through my son...
... Jonathan...
... and my nephew, Abner,
and my lieutenant, Phineas.
Our job now...
... is to make weapons!
- Yes.
We must make
as many weapons as possible.
We must work as hard
as we possibly can.
God doesn't want us to wave
our hands at the enemy.
He wants us to be as strong as we can...
... so that we can defeat our enemy.
God bless Saul!
God bless Saul!
And the army of Israel!
Stop!
Leave her be.
She's under my protection.
- Who are you?
- Not someone to answer your questions.
A while ago, you slaughtered
the men of this village.
I warn you now.
Give up hope of getting these lands...
... or any lands belonging to Israel.
Go back to where you come from.
What do we have here?
A Hebrew warrior?
These are the words of the Lord.
My name is Saul, king of Israel.
No!
Samuel...
... what now?
- Now you'll take your army to Gilgal.
I'll join you there.
You will wait for me for seven days...
... and then I'll come and tell you
what you must do for the Lord.
Over this next ridge.
My God.
Fetch me a calf.
I'll kill it as a sacrifice.
Very well, uncle.
Father, be patient. Wait for Samuel.
If he's not here to speak to God for me...
... I'll have to take care
of the matter myself.
Take the animal and burn it.
- Can't we share in the meat, my lord?
- Burn it. Bring me the ashes.
Saul.
What are you doing?
I'm making a sacrifice.
My army's been bled by deserters.
The Philistines are massing
in great numbers.
You were not here to speak on my behalf.
You were told to wait.
I had to do something.
You've not obeyed
the commandments of the Lord God.
He would have established
your kingdom forever.
Samuel.
Samuel, wait.
Whatever the Lord asks of me,
I'll do it.
there is a camp of Amalekites.
Since we are a nation, they are
the most brutal enemies of Israel.
Their leader, Agag,
is a vicious murderer...
... a man of evil.
Jonathan!
Fetch my armor.
We march at once.
Fetch the armor!
Ready the spears!
And when I win this battle...
... will I be restored in the eyes of God?
Do not even ask.
Simply do as God commands.
Destroy the Amalekites completely, Saul.
Men, women, children, cattle, everything.
Great king, you have the field
and crushed my army.
Surely the bitterness of death is past.
Why is this man still alive?
Why have his cattle been spared?
My men are hungry. They need meat.
Agag is worth more
to me alive than dead.
Trust me, Samuel. It's for the best.
My God.
O my God.
I repent that I have made Saul king.
