:09:01
Bind up his wounds.
:09:04
So spare him.
:09:10
Out of regard for the tender heart
of my dear brother.
:09:13
This queen amuses herself
by leading men across our borders
:09:17
to slay lsraelites
as she might attend a circus.
:09:19
l doubt if she found
much amusement here.
:09:27
Hezrai.
:09:34
What brings the king"s chancellor here?
More orders?
:09:37
No, Highness. lf that were so,
mine would be a far happier mission.
:09:43
Your father, King David,
lies at the point of death.
:09:46
He lapsed into a coma
and has not regained consciousness.
:09:49
His physicians could give me
no word of hope to bring you.
:09:53
Josiah, we ride to Jerusalem.
:09:56
- Hail Adonijah, King of lsrael.
- Hail Adonijah. Hail the king.
:10:01
lt is not your right to proclaim the king.
These are the words of the Law:
:10:05
""He shall be anointed
with the waters of Gihon
:10:08
and crowned in the presence of the
priest and the elders of the tribes.""
:10:11
Your law may be the Word, Chancellor.
Mine is the sword.
:10:15
Hail Adonijah.
:10:19
And why do you remain silent?
Am l not David"s rightful heir?
:10:23
- Your first thought is not for our father?
- Life is for the living.
:10:28
When l know David is no longer living,
l will be the first to acknowledge you.
:10:40
l will follow you, Highness.
:10:49
We could reach Jerusalem
by dawn tomorrow.
:10:51
Let Solomon concern himself with
the dead. My thoughts are for the living.
:10:56
l have business with this Sheban queen.
