Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
| King David / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: David and Jonathan, or at least they intended to show it. Jonathan is played by the same adult actor throughout the film, and a different actor plays young David, implying a Big Brother Mentor dynamic. Jonathan first takes the young David from Bethlehem to be Saul's musician, and later praises him after he kills Goliath. A transition later, David is now Richard Gere, and by then David and Jonathan have become comrades in Saul's army. | |

Royals Who Actually Do Something | |
| King David / int_1edfa2c7 | comment |
Royals Who Actually Do Something: Saul leads his army from the front, but surprisingly not David after he becomes King. He leaves his battles for his general Joab to fight - and this leads to Absalom's death when Joab personally kills him despite David's orders to spare him. | |

Adaptational Villainy: To make David's affair with Bathsheba seem more sympathetic, Bathsheba tells David that her husband Uriah beats her. This is not stated at all in the Bible, where Uriah is described as an honorable man. | |

Mythology Gag: A distraught Saul cries: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" This comes from Psalm 22 which David is traditionally credited with composing. But it was also said by Jesus when he was crucified, according to Christian scripture. | |

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Jonathan helps David escape after his own father Saul had ordered his arrest. David seeks shelter with the High Priest, and when he's forced to flee elsewhere the High Priest gives him bread that was reserved for ritual purposes, saying "May God forgive us both". David is willing to forgive Absalom for killing his own brother out of revenge after he raped their sister, while the Prophet Nathan insists on following "an eye for an eye... a life for a life" to the letter. Absalom is spared but he later rebels against David... | |

A curious case of the film not being clear whether this is in effect or it's just a invokedSpecial Effect Failure, regarding Goliath's size. Camera angles and sound design (clanking armor etc.) are played up for all they're worth to make him feel like a lumbering giant towering over the young David, but once Goliath is killed, other people are seen in the frame with them and he just appears to be a somewhat tall man. No one at the scene actually calls attention to Goliath's height being exceptional, though as the enemy champion he is The Dreaded. Years later, the Philistine king does refer to David's God "delivering him from the giant" when talking with the adult David, but it's entirely possible he's referring to how the tale grew in the telling. | |

Politically Correct History | |
| King David / int_7e74d66f | comment |
Politically Correct History: King David falls in love with Bathsheba and sends her husband, Uriah, to the front lines of an army to die. In the movie, Bathsheba claims that Uriah whips her to make David more sympathetic. In the actual story from The Bible, there is no mention of Uriah beating his wife, and even that wouldn't have been used to justify David's actions. The whole point of the story was that even King David was a flawed person. The film keeps a scene from the Bible in which the prophet Nathan chastises David for his sins, which leads to a Broken Aesop. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| King David / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
The part of the Bible where Saul first falls out of favor with God when he doesn't wipe out the Amalekites isn't sanitized. The Prophet Samuel goes to Saul where he finds him holding the King of Amalek prisoner at his feet, discussing a treaty. Samuel lectures Saul about following God's orders and chops off the King of Amalek's head himself. In fairness, the King of Amalek was not a nice guy and Saul spared him for personal gain, not out of mercy. | |

Rage Against the Heavens: After Absalom dies, David smashes a model of the Temple complex (which Solomon would later actually build) with Goliath's sword, but stops when he sees the little model of the Ark of the Covenant. Perhaps confusingly, the scene is overlaid with narration saying how the Lord blessed David. | |

The Wise Prince: Jonathan serves as the voice of reason for his father Saul. He isn't envious of David being anointed King in Saul's place - and his place in turn - because David is worthy of their love. He also helps David escape Saul's wrath when he is outlawed, but cannot join him outright because he still loves his increasingly unstable father. | |

Exact Words | |
| King David / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: David hides among the priests of the Ark of the Covenant, but one of them betrays his location to Saul. The High Priest later tells Saul that said priest is longer with them - because he had personally slain him. The High Priest turns his back when David flees, so he can truthfully say that he didn't see David leave. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
| King David / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: The prophet Nathan is first seen as the prophet Samuel's apprentice, long before he first appears in the Biblical text. Bathsheba similarly appears in the crowd when David is dancing before the Ark of the Covenant. | |

Chase Fight | |
| King David / int_f0e21c67 | comment |
Chase Fight: Absalom makes his getaway when his army is routed, and David's general Joab chases after him. Both are riding chariots and shoot arrows or throw spears at each other. When one of his horses is injured, Absalom then cuts the other free and rides away on it, but his voluminous hair is caught on tree branches, allowing Joab to finish him off. | |
