David is a simple shepherd boy chosen as king of Israel under the watchful eyes of the prophets Samuel and Nathan. His rise to power is met with test of adversity -- from the battle with the Philistine giant Goliath to personal threat from King Saul. David's 40-year rule is driven by unstoppable ego, unwavering desire, a drunken sense of entitlement and plagued by tremendous battles, betrayals and loss -- from his forbidden and passionate love with Bathsheba to his struggles with enemies both within and without.
