:12:09
Halt!
:12:14
Stand aside.
:12:23
ln lsrael, l give the orders.
:12:26
l regret that we did not meet last night
when you visited my encampment.
:12:31
Who are you?
:12:34
- The king of lsrael.
- He lies.
:12:36
Whoever he is, he is an impostor.
:12:38
The king is an old man,
weak with the burden of his years.
:12:41
ls that why you thought it safe
to join forces with the Egyptians?
:12:45
Give me leave,
and l will clear them from the road.
:12:48
You think you could do better now
than you did last night?
:12:53
David lies dead in Jerusalem.
l, Adonijah, am his heir.
:12:58
- We want no dealings with the lsraelites.
- Let him speak, Baltor.
:13:02
- What favour do you seek of me?
- lf we were dealing in favours,
:13:06
- l could bring you the heads of your dead.
- Kill him!
:13:09
- Your own head is not too secure.
- Silence, Haran.
:13:12
l pursued you not to ask favours
but to grant them.
:13:16
And what favour could an lsraelite
grant the Queen of Sheba?
:13:20
A kingdom twice as large
as she now rules.
:13:23
Renounce your alliance with the Pharaoh.
Let your banners fly beside mine.
:13:28
When l have overthrown him, l will give
you all his lands that border on your own.
:13:34
And if l refuse your generosity?
:13:38
Then l will hurl you down into
the same dust that will choke the Pharaoh.
:13:42
Yours is the choice.
Glory with lsrael, or disaster with Egypt.
:13:47
You dog!
:13:49
My ancestors sat upon
the throne of a great country
:13:52
when yours still crawled on their hands
and knees, feeding on insects.
:13:57
- ls that your answer?
- This is my answer.
