Geschichte
In ancient Israel, King David has a vision from God that his younger son Solomon should succeed him as king instead of his other son Adonijah. Furious at being passed over, Adonijah vows to seize the throne for himself. Meanwhile, the Queen of Sheba makes an agreement with the Egyptian Pharaoh to undermine Solomon's rule, fearing his benevolent monotheism threatens their tyrannical polytheistic kingdoms. The Queen attempts to corrupt Solomon through her influence. Throughout his reign, Solomon must navigate political intrigue, familial strife, and external threats to maintain his kingdom.
