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.
睡前十分钟看完，没想到一点都硬不起来，辣鸡
剧情真的是我看过最傻的，但是男主真的好帅好帅好帅好帅好帅好帅好帅好帅呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜
忘说了…第一部在女主和高中生分手回到宿舍之后，竟然很磕女主和她舍友。
首先立意很好。故事讲的也不错，这种阶级对抗有点跟美女与猎犬类似，但还是差点儿。整体既尊重了客观事实，又安慰了处于最低阶层大多数的内心……
還好我先前已經看過「沉默的真相」，對於這種有冤難鳴的痛苦，那種只能隱忍，痛苦自己吞的劇情，已經多少能夠忍受，雖然在看的過程，我時不時按暫停，不然那股內心深處的哀嚎會一直堆疊，直到我整艘船沉下去為止......
这种电影拍出来的意义是啥？ 全片就在讲女主想去西雅图，男主不愿意去，然后吵架完打炮，打炮完再吵架… 关键是打炮也没露啥啊，既不是情色片也不是剧情片，无语死
Call for the last song from Vampire Dairy
别再拍了吧就是说，作为电影这个剧情还怎么发展？你搁这拍美剧呢！
原来是家庭伦理连续剧 感觉故事挺多的 线也很多 为啥不直接拍成电视剧 下一部什么时候来啊
很喜欢结尾。Wregas拍出了印尼寄生虫。
为了看脸都坚持不下去的第三部，快点完结吧😭
故事太粗糙了但是我实在是太爱男女主了，看到还有4，期待中带着无语
挺开怀一笑的典型爱情喜剧电影。布拉德皮特死得那么干净利落我是没想到。小笑点还挺多，且不尬。
吵架的时候能不能不要故意说点假话来让对方伤心啊，这两个人感觉真的不信任对方，或者说他们都没有给彼此足够的安全感吧。结尾真的有些狗血了，男主竟然是他妈和出版社boss的孩子...女主真的那么有吸引力吗，我反正越来越感觉不出来了。
喜欢这个系列，理由有很多。他们的爱情像暮光之城。
拍的很好，很像我和我npy的相处方式呀，美式恋爱方式，狠狠代入了
每一部都要来个大瓜，这个系列跟小时代似的。。
印尼拍出来的极具特色的metoo电影，对社会上贫富差距、宗教压抑和父权制度的批判。故事里面不少逻辑的欠缺很难忽视，让这个结局无法显得那么有力。
成功牵扯到两代人的恩怨了，比第二部要好得多，有本事你就一直拍下去，我一部都不会落。
其实本剧唯一的不足就是男女主kiss戏 多少亲得有那么点保守了hhhhhh…还能再猛一点就是说😏
