	King David (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		David, a shepherd, was the son of Jesse of Bethlehem.
		David in fact could only purchase the land on which the Temple was to be built, on which he placed an altar in order to atone for the sin he had committed while commanding the people.
		David's policy as king seems clearly to have been "to be strong at home, but to live side by side with other nations as his allies." Ties of friendship accordingly were established with Hiram, king of Tyre and Toi, king of Hamath.

		David maintained power in the same way he had attained it in the first place--by removing anyone who was in his way.

		King David is one of the most important figures in Jewish history.
		Thus David is able to subdue, at long last, the Philistine threat and to conquer the remaining Canaanite city-state -- Jerusalem -- that the Israelites have thus far not been able to conquer.
		The story of David's relationship with Bathsheba is one of the most misread stories in the Bible, and we have to be careful in reading it as a soap opera.

	IMDb user comments for King David (1985) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		David was a man of trust, the man of love to God, the man of penance primarily, yet, the man of great courage (the last aspect is not skipped in this movie but it is simplified, too).
		To say it justly, "King David" does not have much to offer, it is, in no way, one of the top biblical epics, it distorts much from the life of the great king, but it may be entertaining as a movie.
		The film tells how King Saul is told by a prophet that he is not being harsh enough with the enemies of Israel, and the prophet demonstrates to the King how Israel should treat the captured enemies by beheading the captured enemy king.
