Of Kings and Prophets

This sweeping biblical narrative explores themes of faith, ambition, and betrayal through the perspectives of the battle-hardened King Saul, the discontented prophet Samuel, and the clever young shepherd David, all heading towards a fateful encounter that will alter the course of history. A millennium before the birth of Christ, Saul, the inaugural king of the Israelites, faces the daunting task of uniting the 12 tribes and defending his nascent kingdom from brutal adversaries. The prophet Samuel delivers a divine command to Saul to annihilate one of Israel’s longstanding foes. However, when Saul disobeys, Samuel foretells that God will strip him of his kingdom and appoint another in his stead. Eventually, Saul realizes that his most formidable challenge will not arise from external enemies, but from the shepherd David.
