King David (1985)
Il film tratta dell'antico re d'Israele Davide. La storia comincia dopo una vittoria dell'esercito di Israele, guidato dal re Saul, sugli Amaleciti. Saul decise, contrariamente a quanto stabilito dalla legge di Dio (che parla per bocca del profeta Samuele), di discutere un possibile trattato. Così Samuele vanifica ogni tentativo di dialogo uccidendo il re degli Amaleciti e dicendo a Saul che Dio lo priverà del regno. A questo punto la scena si sposta nella casa di Iesse di Betlemme, presso il quale Samuele si reca per scegliere tra i suoi figli un re per Israele. Tra questi vi è il giovane Davide che successivamente prenderà il posto di Saul come re d'Israele.
