A world-changing biblical epic about faith, ambition, and betrayal, as seen through the eyes of the battle-weary King Saul, the resentful prophet Samuel, and the resourceful young shepherd David. One thousand years before Christ, Saul, the first king of the Israelites, fights to unite the 12 Israelite tribes and defend his young nation against brutal barbarian invasions. The prophet Samuel conveys a message from God to King Saul instructing him to slay an ancient enemy of Israel. When Saul disobeys this message, however, Samuel prophesies that the Lord would rip the kingdom of Israel from him and choose another king in his place. Over time, Saul realizes that his biggest challenge will not come from his adversaries, but from the shepherd David.
