King David Page #4

His presence all around me.

If only I, too, could see Him.

Are you aware of the presence

that you're in?

The Ark of the Covenant.

None but a priest

may gaze upon it.

The Ten Commandments

lie within,

written on tablets of stone

by the finger of God Himself.

Why is it kept here?

It should be enthroned on high,

not hidden away like this.

For 250 years,

it has awaited such a home.

Then hear, O Lord,

the vow of Thy servant, David.

When once my feet

have found their rest,

I will give no sleep to my eyes

until I have built

a temple for the Lord.

A dwelling place

for the mighty one of Jacob.

Shammah.

Prince Jonathan says that...

Who are you?

I am the high priest Ahimelech.

Where is the guardian

of the Ark?

He's at his station

in the cavern.

Prince Jonathan

says the guardian

sent word to the king

that you are here.

Joab and our brothers

have escaped

to the caves of Adullam.

Stand before the Ark.

Now swear to me,

in the sight of God,

that you have not

betrayed our guest.

Showbread. The law forbids

anyone but a priest

to partake of it,

may God forgive us both.

This I return to you

with a clear conscience.

Goliath's sword.

It was sent here

for safekeeping.

David!

May the Lord bless you

for your kindness.

And protect you, my son.

We must bar the gates.

No, we have no one to hide.

It is good to give thanks

to the Lord

Whose love endures forever

Declare it, people of Israel

For His love endures forever

Give thanks to the God of gods

For His love endures forever

He made the great lights

His love endures forever

A sun to rule by day...

Silence!

Where is David ben Jesse?

I do not know.

You are lying.

A priest does not lie.

He was here, was he not?

He was here.

When did he leave?

Some time ago.

In what direction did he go?

I did not see.

The guardian of the Ark,

My Lord-

he will know.

Where is the guardian?

He, too, is no longer with us.

Abner.

I want these priests killed

one by one until their

high priest changes his mind.

Then the killing will stop.

No soldier

would carry out such an order.

These priests...

are maggots!

In carrion!

Fattening themselves

on the offerings

people give to the Lord!

They are traitors,

every one of them!

And so is any soldier

who refuses to obey

the king's command.

You.

I cannot.

You!

No, Father!

Will no one obey the king?

I will, My Lord.

It takes a gentile to obey.

It is good

To give thanks

To the Lord

His love endures forever

He brought Israel out of Egypt

His love endures forever

No king shall bring Him low

His love endures forever

No enemy shall strike

Him down

His love endures forever

For the

Lord has sworn

To His servant
