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.
还不错；两人办公桌对立，场景有创新；颜色好看；人设不错，经典模型
感觉不错，驱魔不再是小角色之间的斗争了，很有高级感…
🌟一顆星給妝髮，沒了。
上帝被驱逐 最后恶魔一句话显得正义感爆棚
故事不错，感觉导演没拍明白，魔鬼给神父驱神，很有创意，你可以驱逐我，我也当然可以驱逐你，神魔之战，魔鬼占上风的次数多些，看来魔鬼还是强大的，上帝固然也强大，奈何手下神父不中用啊，各个都有弱点，轻易让魔鬼占上风。
景色与调色都挺舒服的给个一星~故事就简单平淡了点~给个一星~LAST隔离日
本以为这是一部歌颂德行的片子，最后发现原来想说的是世界已经堕落，未来在于下一代🤣
我2018年的电影《THE UNICORN》的电影配角之一，好莱坞女星LUCY HALE主演的最新浪漫喜剧电影。
在众多驱魔电影中算是大胆的了，剧情有点美剧狗血范，感觉都能拍续集了
有点特别的驱魔电影，不是老套的驱魔剧情，不单纯在驱魔，还有恶魔的反响驱魔，魔神关系也有新的变化，最后的伏笔也挺有意思。那个大十字架也真是搞笑了一下。哦对了，开头也太性感了，不删减就是刺激
把打工人的脸摁在地上磨蹭啊，从开篇男主叫女主shortcake已经可以report给HR了，我尼玛。
好久没看这种片子了 电梯和酒店那两段看得我….
耶稣和玛利亚被附身是有新意的
被一首Dover beach 安利 最近需要看轻喜剧 男主身材好好啊 🥵
学了一个词。邪典电影。cult film。
其实也很奇怪，拍出来的电影，显的恶魔都异常强大，相反去驱魔的神父都是单打独斗的，而且往往不是恶魔的对手。梵蒂冈那么多的主教，红衣主教不出手的吗？还是他们主要责任是镇守当地或者...被某种力量约束不能出去呢。驱魔的手段需要改进啦，总是圣水撒撒，十字架举举，恶魔不吃这一套啦！创新啊！兄弟
驱魔略无聊啊！最后的结局，神父和魔鬼做了交易，被巴尔班附身并且升职去了梵蒂冈，而神父的女儿因为纯洁的身心被上帝降临了附身？如果能拍续集的话就有鬼了，倒是真的很希望能拍续集来一场鬼神大乱斗。
歲末寒冬爆米花佳片，回溫5度就會覺得無聊老套拖拉沒靈魂。
3。合格的驱魔片，有人性的鞭挞，宗教的虚伪
真就就除了《驱魔人》后，所有的驱魔题材的恐怖片我当做生活片在看，小国家的恐怖片即便是合拍片也真的粗糙得很。
