10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!

DESCRIPTION
Israel circa 1,000 B.C. The adult life of David, who would eventually become King of Israel, is presented. The blessing of the Prophets, as the voice of God, is required before the King can take any major action. It is because God is annoyed with King Saul for not following his word that the Prophet Samuel, taking his cues from God, surprisingly and unexpectedly anoints David, the teenaged and youngest of Jesse's four sons, the next King. Regardless, it isn't until David's encounter with Goliath that he and many of the Israelites believe he could and should be King. Believing the anointing of David undermines his rule, King Saul, whose army is far outnumbered by those of the enemy Philistines, takes one measure after another against David and by association at the peril of his army in battles against the Philistines. These moves by Saul do not sit well with many, but especially his son Jonathan, who supports David as the next King. Over David's eventual rule as King, he will have his own issues with God and the Prophets as often ruling by his emotions rather than by God's word, especially with regard to the treatment of his eldest son Absalom, and in his relationship with Bathsheba.
Synopsis by IMDb
King David (1985)
Dutch
David doodde op jonge leeftijd Goliath. Nu is hij rivaal geworden van de ooit
machtige koning Saul. Maar als ze samen ten strijden trekken tegen de vijand,
weet David dat hij ooit de plek van Saul zou moeten innemen.
English
Director Bruce Beresford has safely stayed within the domain of the Bible and
not strayed into patches of Hollywood fiction in this routine version of the
story of David (Richard Gere). For that reason, anyone unfamiliar with Biblical
history might be puzzled by the episodic presentation of David's life. In the
opening scenes, Samuel condemns Saul and anoints the young David as his heir,
and in fairly quick succession David slays Goliath, incurs Saul's jealous wrath,
leaves, and, much later, comes back to rule after Saul has died. Once David is
on the throne, Bathsheba and then Absalom enter into the picture. Interspersed
are brutal scenes of fighting, but not much in the way of motivation for David's
complex behavior. Gaps in the narration or unclear motivation may be the result
of trying to cover too many events in a 114-minute running time.
