The King: Ruler of Israel - Tapa blanda

After centuries of being led by prophets and tribal judges, Israel is finally given a king to rule over them. However, their king is not the man he should be. The God of Israel, from whom all authority is ultimately derived, selects another man to take the king's place on the throne. Unfortunately, it is not a simple process to replace a king, as the young David finds out. The shepherd boy is incorporated into the royal house of Saul and stands up to the Philistine giant, and slowly but surely climbs the ranks of the Israelite army. Eventually, he becomes so successful King Saul sees him as a threat, and David flees from his master. Through years of trials, his faith and leadership capabilities are tested and refined until David is ready to take over the throne. Join the young hero on his epic journey as he navigates through battle and betrayal, heartache and joy, to become the man after God's own heart.
