Parallel to the story of Abraham, the prophetic selection shares the last days of King David. However, the last days of King David are filled with strife and contention, unlike that of Abraham. The narrative is selected from First Kings, chapter one.

The beautiful Avishag, the last of King David's many women, is brought to the king to arouse him. However, Avishag fails to stimulate the king's interest in her. Adoniyah, the son of David and Haggit, attempts to start a rebellion in order to succeed his father on the throne. Adoniyah has the support of Yoav and Aviatar, but not that of Nathan the prophet. Nathan convinces Bathsheba, David's beloved wife, to speak to her husband. David had promised Bathsheba that Solomon, her son, would reign as the heir to his father. Bathsheba shares the political reality with her aged husband. Adoniyah is attempting to usurp the throne unless David clearly asserts his wish that Solomon will succeed him. King David swears that Solomon will reign as the next king of Israel. Bathsheba expresses her gratitude to her husband and king.
