David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
一下子看完三部，但的确第三部不如前两部好看。故事情节开始老套了，但是不得不佩服导演拍摄，有些镜头一镜到底我觉得好美。值得表扬的是，男主开始长大了，我觉得他很多时候发脾气源于本来的家庭，他的不自信，是生自己的气。 两人的颜值好高。
就……反正……emmmm……我多看两遍暮光之城不好么
看到有第四部我人都傻了 这个真的有票房吗
激情动作太假！
伏地魔还是很有演技的！这不就是活脱脱的富二代男吗？跟我身边那些留过学的富二代一样！女主比前面几部胖了一些，少了几分清冷的感觉。为什么女主身边有各种男生挑战男主吃醋的极限？
求求你们美国人整点自己的历史吧，别天天意淫别的国家了。
6.2分。感觉像是第一部的拙劣模仿品，彻彻底底成为了第一部所嘲笑的对象。前半段基本靠Talk推动剧情，角色弧简直生硬到不能再生硬，小儿子甚至连角色弧都没建立好就被抛弃了。后半段就又是几句话鼓动一个人+复仇的老套路。只有到第二幕和第三幕两场击剑才让人提得起精神。马修·沃恩和埃德加·赖特一样老了啊，一点锐气都没有了。
现实中真实存在的矫揉造作和超乎想象的狗血剧情
老实说，被封面吸引进去的，以快进的方式看完了三部。剧情和封面一样俗套，且充斥着狗血，除了男女主角颜值能够吸引稍微一点注意之外，想了五分钟也无法给它加上一星，或许想5分钟已经是我足够大的仁慈了。
评论区真的有人为了看sex scene来看这套电影的……这种一床戏就切头部特写有啥好看，五十度灰和布里奇顿第六集不比这个好多了？！这一集依旧是fuck fight fuck fight fuck 循环模式……

剧情真是让我一头雾水。。没想到比第二部还难看☹️第一部我可是反复看了好几遍的！！！剧情走向越来越扯，好狗血，毫无期待值，要不是冲着男主和女主的颜值心软给了三颗星，我直接报警！！！！！
两个友友来告诉我第三部出来了，虽然我觉得我是刚看完第二部，但原来那也是去年的事了。他们俩一吵架，我就发笑，男主的演技毫无长进也是很厉害的事。
剧情真的越来越不行 男主依旧是我的做梦素材
我三岁的时候就看过这种剧情了，可是我已经不是孩子了
康纳：？我走直线没被乱枪扫中，就被自己人当间谍不审问下就一枪崩了？

这起源故事也太无聊了，尤其第一部珠玉在前。虽说时代背景决定不可能像第一部那样酷炫，但节奏也太差了，整整40分钟之后才进入正题，我都已经看睡着了。儿子的死也太莫名其妙，感觉是为需要必须死。虽然都是说着manner makesth man，但拉尔夫费因斯还是及不上科林费斯，后者才是gentleman的化身。最后有个问题，那些羊到底是如何做到贴在悬崖峭壁上的，牛逼。
这玩意还能拍四部🆘看来老美看玛丽苏的忠诚度不容小觑啊
看了一半以为自己之前已经看过了，后来发现豆瓣条目并没有标记已看。Does this say something about the plot or am I getting fucking old…
