1:08:03
You look like two birds
who have hatched out a nestful of snakes.
1:08:10
You may speak freely.
l have no secrets from Joab.
1:08:15
We have come to take counsel
with Your Highness.
1:08:18
About what? l am the commander
of the host, not a minister of state.
1:08:23
lt concerns the king.
1:08:26
- Then why not consult with him?
- Because he will not listen.
1:08:30
Grave criticism is being
brought against him by people.
1:08:34
Who would dare to murmur
against the great Solomon?
1:08:37
His association with the Sheban queen
has developed into an open scandal.
1:08:42
Worse, he has even brought this
pagan woman to live within the palace,
1:08:46
daring to install her in an apartment
adjoining his own private chambers.
1:08:53
That is his affair, not mine.
1:08:55
We thought perhaps if you were to
talk to him privately, reason with him.
1:08:59
Point out that it is a matter
of concern not only to the high priest
1:09:03
but to the prophet and the council.
1:09:06
l, presume to admonish His Majesty?
1:09:09
You forget, Hezrai, he is the king.
The king can do no wrong.
1:09:13
Well, something must be done.
1:09:15
Not by me. You are his chancellor, Hezrai,
and you his high priest, Zadok.
1:09:22
You do something. You reason with him.
1:09:25
We had hoped for the cooperation
of Your Highness.
1:09:30
You have it.
My sympathies and my best wishes.
1:09:35
We thank you for receiving us.
1:09:37
Not at all, not at all.
1:09:40
Always at your service.
1:09:46
lt could not have served your interests
better if you had arranged her visit.
1:09:51
The priesthood is aroused against him.
The council condemns him.
1:09:56
Even the people talk openly of his shame.
