David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
第一次看爱情片产生如此强烈的不适。和religious maniac谈恋爱简直就是恐怖片啊，你有信仰还撩拨我，我回应了你又后退，搞这些就算了还要给我传教，还要我为了十几岁的爱情和才见过两次面的男人结婚？婚姻里一套外面一套且毫无道德压力是religious maniacs的传统吗？难怪搞出来这么多paedophilia。厕所那一段在我看来完全就是猥亵，洗礼那一段更是精神上的强奸，最后女主去到她家里那里我简直要打电话报警连夜逃出绝命镇，太可怕了我是怎么把这一个半小时坚持下来的啊？
中年人的爱情真的好好嗑！两个人的中年危机哈哈哈哈哈哈
看的时候想起了《Disobedience》，信仰的力量这么强大吗?
她说“我去了欧洲，去年夏天。” 她哽咽了一下回“我知道。”然后从包里拿出一堆明信片“你阿姨给我的。” “都读过了吗？” “差不多一万遍吧。”她还是哽咽“和我们想象的一样吗？” 她定了定神点了点头 然后深情看着她说“你也在场就好了。”
情节和叙事都没什么新意，故事的宗教背景和女主之一的信仰在无神论者眼里难以理解，好在颜值够高，部分场景性张力十足。一年能看到这样一两部姬片挺不错的。
比起剧版的细腻和治愈，感觉差了那么点意思，但能看到男男生活流的种种切面，还是会有暖流在心中穿过。
情感升温为止都可以下饭，结尾突然网络小说套路，感动谁？
我老人地铁问号了。套路全都在，但是结尾太草率。剧本不太行，张力是够了，情绪都上不去。
终于把电影版看了 虽然没有电视剧版本的好看 剧情更平淡无奇 但是为什么贤二那么好笑
提前宣布是今年的gl年度最佳，氛围景色情感都太到位了，不止两位小姐姐超级有火花(配一脸，嘿嘿），角色设定反差也拉满。本身剧情没有那种宗教迫害的窒息感，里面两位女生的亲人家属大多还是包容的，但在那层宗教的束缚下让她们还是没有了去选择去冲破的余地。当两人一年半再见的时候眼神之间的"满眼都是你"挂满了整个屏幕。导演还是会的知道我们想看什么结尾的暗示也不要太明显。结局虽然开放，但是也代表有无数的可能，我觉得她们一定私奔了，哈哈哈。
影片情感细腻，化学反应强烈，在拍摄手法和剧本方面不是很成熟，但是整部影片观看下来氛围感挺不错的，个人不是很喜欢宗教题材的影片，有点过于压抑。影片前半部分糖分满满，充满了暧昧与悸动，亲密戏份欲值拉满，后半部分世俗的套路使这部影片大打折扣，但是导演在某些小细节上抓的还是很可以的。
同性恋这块对我而言一直就是个自然的存在 我会换位思考一下 大概能够感知了 事实是 我没有 我没有那样的境况便也无法领悟到他们所处的各种境地 本想本能说“抱歉”但却不知这二字缘何出口？
电影版延续了昨日美食的精髓，日常的琐碎切片，细碎处的爱意和温情更显细腻。总觉得这里的西岛秀俊笑的格外真实和动人（省流版：没亲到
原教旨主义者真吓人他们说的每一个字都和你脑子里的那个字完全不是一个意思只有退潮沙滩上的绿黄配夹克残留一些少女情怀总是诗的美
女1甚至长得有点像瑞秋麦克亚当斯。本来我以为是一个假期结束了我们就要分开了的故事。原来这么伤心啊。还好在严苛的宗教下有温暖的人，虽然这个设定有点不可信，只能说创作者很温柔。
虽然不好意思戴戒指，但愿意为你花八个小时以上来煮黑豆。真的很喜欢，饭也很香的样子。像一口气看了一季，想再重温一下tv.
结局我不理解，打算在在椰和华的祝福下携手走进新世界？？斜教真是害人不浅，看着像骗人入会又拍屁股走人的渣。以及结婚育儿催人老，呵。
西岛配spitz没理由不给五星。谁不想要一个史朗这样的男友！！
哎呀还是挺甜的。虽然整体上故事框架较为老套。
一见钟情？爱情输给了宗教信仰？结婚有娃了还能再在一起吗？
