or at prayers you are from now on

in disgrace

and that is all you do for this family

and this nation

Tamar's Soul lies in pieces and unknown

still lives he is my son and your

brother he raped your daughter we put

men to death for much less it is my

decision

my decisions are law another example of

your mercy father it's part of your

Legend

I must be able to forgive my own flesh

and blood

so must you

and it's not Mercy absence how a family

how a nation survives

Absalom

if we cannot find a way past the sins we

commit we cannot live

now show me that you understand my

wisdom

embrace me

cheer up brother the work isn't so rough

you've got to be so happy about brother

day don't worry about me I won't be

doing this for much longer you won't

I'll find my way back into the court

father will soften his judgment against

me

do you know why

he'll forgive anyone just to win back

one more person's love

father's not satisfied with God's love

he wants everyone else to love him as

well

you have us all figured out

I know father that's all

and all this

or my sister Tamar eats dirt and babbles

like a sick child

because of you

you took her soul

I can't believe I'm hearing this rubbish

is dead

I had him killed

yeah report this to our father

I have killed amnon in just judgment for

what he did to you

tell father I know I must be lost to him

for disobeying his command and doing

this

perhaps I shall never see him again

nevertheless I still love him

I shall love him forever

say goodbye to him for me

and to all of Jerusalem

we'll never forget what you've given up

for me

God

you have made the Earth tremble

you have broken it

heal the breaches for the Earth shakes

beneath our feet

you have scattered us

oh please turn yourself to us again

I'm seven for you my lord King

feeling sorry for me is turning into a

full-time occupation for you Nathan you

have given me in the nation much reason

to celebrate as well

God

not me

do you think

once God starts punishing a man he will

ever stop

Perhaps it is those who God loves the

most

of whom he lavishes his gifts that he

punishes the most severely

the price of God's glory

those years ago

David

God makes it hard to be a king

this is the woman in mourning from

Toccoa who bids you to give her judgment

yes that's coming

help me please my Lord King

what seems to be the problem

I had two

they worked to feel

the field and they quarreled and one

killed the other

go on

all the rest of my family

beat me to polish my surviving son

harshly

but if I do that

I will have no air

and my husband's name will disappear

from the Earth

I will have nothing

whoever

tries to force you to take your

remaining son's life shall be brought to

me and I will deal with them

no one else will bother you

thank you my Lord King

God will respect no man

unless he devises some way for those

children he has lost

to be brought back to him

laughs

the man wants you to judge him my love

King he was burning the tents outside

the city Gates and trying to drain our

water supply

who never do such a stupid thing bring

him in

well

I can only ask forgiveness and

understanding in the words of a prayer

my father made

may I speak my father's words

go ahead

deliver me from blood guiltiness oh my

God and my tongue shall sing aloud of my

righteousness

creating me a clean heart

renew a right Spirit Within Me

those are my words

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

there's no power child but he is my son

presence to me

[Music]

to reason that you forget the prophet

I know what you're thinking

you think that with Absalom permanently

in disgrace my favor would fall on

Solomon

ah

I am not planning the succession David

Absalom has already shed his own

brother's blood what is HE capable of

next he's my son

promises between men

or contracts between merchants or

treaties between nations all of these

can be broken of Advantage demands it

but the Covenant between a father and a

son can never end

no matter what Absalom did I could never

stop being his father

if he does something wrong it is because

I failed to teach him

he is mine

as you are mine

as I am gods

may I ask you a Frank question my Lord

Prince please

if You Were King

would you have judged the actions of

amnon on your own Deeds as likely as

David did

David

faces the law and the command of his

heart and always finds a way to disobey

the law

you

chose the law of your own blood

that tells me you are strong enough to

properly lead the nation

don't speak any more of these things

I've had a fell

these words are already written in your

own heart

it is because of David's Mercy that I'm

alive at this moment

if the roles had been reversed you would

have been strong enough to order your

son's punishment that is something you

have never forgiven your father for for

that Witness

and he calls Mercy not if all you say is

true what then

watch the Elders of the tribes of the

army

are they really a father

it was an opportunity for you if you

will see it

gold we lavish on David there's no money

left for food

it would be one thing if we could see an

end to the sacrifice but with your

father there is no reasoning

there was a time

when being a member of David's Army

meant respect

he even sure changes us to pay for his

Temple now the syrians and moabites are

taking ground from us every day well

something has to be done

yes but what the men can't take it

anymore I know but the longer we stand

here and wait and do nothing the worse

the situation gets we may answer this

question honestly

if Israel had a new ruler a younger man

who would rebuild the Army who would let

the villagers keep more of their wealth

would you men

support him

how badly do we stand with the Army then

the only two-thirds of all the soldiers

on foot patrol in the southern part of

the nation have gone over to Absalom and

the Hearth or the Farmers of The

Villages hereabouts have gone over to

him as when

and in the North

the tribes of Israel on the other side

of the Jordan

reports of their loyalty are still

unconfirmed

fitterfeld has guided Absalom

brilliantly

am I correct that here in Jerusalem is

where is our weakest and most vulnerable

yes

and if we were Philistines or Egyptians

joab that'll be the perfect time for us

to take poison

what do you think Nathan

do you think God loves absent enough to

see him take my life and my crown

I do not my Lord King

God wants you to survive

you're like a lamb for his people

we will not defend Jerusalem

you will not defend Jerusalem

Absalom has a superior fighting force

I've spent 15 years the best years of my

life building this city into the capital

of the nation

I'm not going to let all I've

accomplished get burned to the ground in

a few days of bloody fighting

that's one sin against God I know at

least not to commit

so what do you propose

we head for the North

find those men who are loyal to David

and joab if there are any

we will not sacrifice Jerusalem for

these troubles

I fear

for those who must stay face the

generosity

of Absalom

you don't need to tell me that you

warned me about him

I remember that

you're being right about almost

everything Bathsheba

the very first moment you went to this

Palace

and you may very well ask

if I knew

all the punishments

that were going to be heaped upon us

would I still have come toward you

it is a question better not asked

I love you

I love you too

[Music]

I'm sorry

so sorry for your city

keep not thy silence oh God

Hold On by peace and be not still

thine enemies make a tumult

they that hate thee have lifted their

heads

they have taken crafty counsel against

thy people they have said come let us

cut them off from their nation that the

name of Israel may be no more in

remembrance

fill their faces with shame they may

seek thy name O Lord

[Music]

David

My Tribe of your type people wish to

join you my road is long and hard it I

you and your people will be safe in

Jerusalem we've only lived here a short

time and if you remain you'll continue

to have my blessing

we are your servants

but we have sworn an oath to your

kingdom

and the kingdom of David

is wherever David is thank you it I am

glad of your support

[Applause]

the ark must remain in the city but my

Lord King

it cannot fall into absalom's hands

if I find favor with God

I will return to Jerusalem and see the

ark again if not

it will offer me no protection against

Absalom

Nathan

you're right my Lord

the ark must remain

[Music]

maybe we'll find someone who sympathizes

with us up there

it's going ahead

if you hate it so much why don't you

join absolutely Jerusalem I'm Shanae the

benjamite nephew of Abner and Jonathan

I'm weaker spoke David and his son

Absalom

you have souls blood on your hands

you have stolen his kingdom like a thief

and if your son turns on you like a

thief as well then God is just and you

are a bloody man

now turn away

you'll find nowhere to hide you hear

them

[Music]

[Music]

oh to me my Lord King to take a few

guards into bahrim and pay shimaya visit

why should we let that dead dog curse

you and Live Another Day

let me go over there take off his head

no doubt he too thinks he has God's

blessing

it seems as though a lot of men thrive

on hating me at the moment

benjamites at least have some reason

compared with Absalom who's my own flesh

and blood

let shimai and his men curse me and

throw stones at me

God may see our afflictions and repairs

were good for our suffering

like Saul

still letting those who hate you

flourish

it is a policy that is harming us to

this day

I have a few ideas about fighting back

the same for that friend of a fitter

Fells um I think his name is

you called for me my Lord King

you study with Nathan and zadok

yes my Lord King

you are known to the one who calls

himself absalom's advisor of fitophel

yes

I'm going to ask you to do something you

might find painful and ashai

ask my Lord King

I want you to return to the comfort of

Jerusalem

but I want to be here with you and

Nathan you cannot help me here

but

if you can get close to Absalom you may

defeat the councils of affidifel

I see my Lord King

go to Jerusalem

go now

my Lord King

the Council of Elders wants to know will

you stop collecting tribute for the

temple for the time being all your

tribute will go towards strengthening

the army

my father is a cruel old leopard he has

to be hunted down cornered and killed

that is the first work of the nation

nothing else can be accomplished until

David

is no longer a threat agreed my Lord

King

[Applause]

good

[Applause]

Ness

nephew exact priest to David

your true King David may require a

service from you

be ready

the young priest hushai would like to

greet the king

the king recognizes in hushai a

brilliant student of Nathan and zadok

are you comfortable in swearing loyalty

to me

I am a great believer in Youth and Power

the Lord favored David when he was young

and fought a weak King

now Absalom is similarly favored

well spoken

thank you

foreign

of that door three of David's concubines

take them tonight all of them

that way will fulfill the prophecy

and everyone will know that what once

was David's

is now yours

[Music]

Solomon

news is not good none of the villagers

that's close to Jerusalem want to join

us

in fact nobody in this area is prepared

to meet with the regular army when they

give us any food

they're afraid

Absalom has troops everywhere

Our Only Hope by the tribes of Judea on

the other side of the river it's too

weak to make a river crossing David

Absalom countries you with the river at

your back

he will annihilate you

we should pursue that

you date night while he's weary and with

little support we can kill him without

many losses

who shy

what do you say

I think my learned friend is wrong

you know that your father and joab and

the best men are still strong soldiers

you strike at them now

like a wounded bear

ready to put up their angriest bloodiest

fight

if ever there was a time when David

would be likely to frighten Your Man

it's now

my Council

is to wait

let all the men of Israel from Dan

Toshiba join you

you will fall on him then

like a hard rain

I accept who Shy's Council

we will wait

we wouldn't want it to be said that

Slaughter was the purpose of absalom's

rule

yes run to David's Camp just north of

Bahari telling me Let's cross the river

without delay tell him I do not know how

much longer Absalom will heed my Council

can you remember all of that

then what

and the battle goes poorly

they will kill all of us to get to you

if you are not seen on the field

fight another day

time what do you think

I agree

very well then you're up you will lead

where will you meet them

at the wood of Ephraim

where they will be tired after crossing

the river

one last thing Giant

understand the way you feel

you seem to love them more than your

friends

if all your loyal followers had died and

Absalom had lived

to crush your kingdom

would have been pleased

what would you have me do

return to Jerusalem

stand up at the gates

and thank all those who were loyal to

you this day

honor them with your greeting
