The story unfolds in Bethlehem, an Israelite region, in 1045 B.C. At just 10 years old, David is getting ready to tend to his father Jesse's flock of sheep. As the youngest of seven brothers, he is assigned the role of the household servant. He is overshadowed by his brothers, who are all honored as brave warriors for King Saul.
As David matures, he becomes an excellent shepherd while remaining humble, sensitive, and loving. Always with his harp in hand, he creates beautiful Psalms and prayers dedicated to God. In contrast, King Saul disobeys God's laws and neglects His guidance. God, speaking through the prophet Samuel, informs Saul that he will be replaced by someone more worthy, someone who truly follows what is in their heart.
One day, in camp, while bringing his brothers food, David hears the Kings decree that whoever manages to defeat the army of God’s enemies shall have all the riches imaginable and his daughter’s hand in marriage. Despite David’s slim physique, he accepts the challenge and kills Goliath. From this moment on, by God’s will and with the acclaim of the people, David becomes the new King of Israel. David weds Michal, which unchains a series of conflicts.
By a series of events David is taken far from home and as if by destiny, he meets Abigail, whom he marries. He also keeps several lovers but his preferred wife is Bathsheba with whom he has a second son, after losing their first son, fruit of their forbidden love. David’s life is marked by love and hate, intrigue, friendship, betrayal and forgiveness. David’s legacy is to show mankind that all men are capable of committing sin and injustice, but that they’ll only find the path when they obey God’s laws.
