The story of how King David brought sorrow to his land when he fell in love with a married woman and arranged her husband's murder.

Though David has all the wealth, power, wives and children inherent for the King of Israel, he does not have what he craves most: the true love of a woman who loves him as a man instead of as King. He is attracted to Bathsheba, the wife of one of his soldiers who is more devoted to army duty than to his wife. David and Bathsheba succumb to their feelings. Their affair, her resulting pregnancy and David's resolve to have her husband killed so Bathsheba will be free to marry, bring the wrath of God upon the kingdom. David must rediscover his faith in God in order to save Bathsheba from death by stoning, his kingdom from drought and famine, and himself from his many sins.
