Description

The first Biblical film produced in Korea tells the story of Saul, chosen by God to be King of Israel and expand the territory of the kingdom. However Saul attempts to deceive God and serve his own interests. Disappointed by Saul, Samuel receives revelation from God to visit Jesse, whose offspring would become the king of Israel. Samuel chooses young David to replace Saul. David had been the musician in Saul's court. During an invasion by the neighboring Philistines bent on destroying Israel, David decides to confront and battle the Philistine soldier known as Goliath, a physical giant whom every other Israelite feared.
