David's saga continues as he becomes King of Judah. Although he finds the great love of his life, he is faced with overwhelming problems. Beginning with Jonathan he loses the most important people in his life. Even though he has many sons, the son everyone believes is his firstborn and heir could be the son of the Amalakite raider who took Ahinoam prisoner. While David tries to find a peaceful way to unite the rival Kingdom of Judah under his rule, Joab takes matters into his own hands, which leads to the destruction of David's plans. Forced to banish Joab in an attempt to salvage something from this disaster, Abishai angrily leaves David's service. Now without the support and protection of his nephews, not only is the kingdom in danger, but David's life is at risk.
