  Good crown, good crown. Master Eli, here I am.
• 0:16
  What do you want? Samuel, I said.
• 0:19
  You, my boy. Yes, Master Eli, it's me.
• 0:22
  What's the matter? Did you have a bad dream or
• 0:25
  something? No, Sir, you called me.
• 0:27
  I didn't. Call you that was sleeping and I
• 0:30
  don't talk in my sleep. Now go on back to bed.
• 0:34
  I'm sure I heard someone Call My Name that.
• 0:38
  Boy must have had pepperoni bagels for dinner.
• 0:41
  I didn't call him pepperoni bagels.
• 0:51
  Pepperoni bagels. Yes, Master Eli, you called.
• 0:59
  Samuel isn't you again. Did you wet the bed or what?
• 1:03
  No, Sir, You called me, didn't you?
• 1:05
  I heard someone Call My Name. Boy, what did you have for
• 1:08
  dinner? Pepperoni bagels.
• 1:10
  No Sir, I didn't eat any dinner tonight.
• 1:13
  I was reading my Bible and praying.
• 1:15
  I forgot all about dinner. No dinner, You must be starving.
• 1:19
  Well, Sir, now that you mention it, I am a little hungry.
• 1:22
  That's it then It's probably your stomach that's calling your
• 1:26
  name. Samuel.
• 1:27
  Feed me Samuel. Why don't you go to the kitchen
• 1:31
  and get a man a muffin? It should hold you until
• 1:34
  breakfast. Well, OK, Sir, if you say so.
• 1:38
  Praying and reading his Bible, that boy's heart is good ground.
• 1:44
  God's going to use him someday. Of course, God wants to use
• 1:47
  everybody. The question is, will they obey
• 1:51
  what he tells them to do? Good girl, good girl.
• 2:00
  He's asleep. I know.
• 2:03
  I heard someone Call My Name. Master Eli.
• 2:08
  Is it you again, Samuel? Yes, Sir, I'm sorry if I
• 2:12
  startled you. You see, I just laid down and I
• 2:15
  was getting ready to take a bite of that muffin when I heard
• 2:18
  someone Call My Name. Samuel.
• 2:20
  Samuel. I don't suppose you Call My
• 2:23
  Name, did you? Boy, there's no one here but you
• 2:25
  and. I and the Lord.
• 2:27
  And I was asleep. But what did you say?
• 2:30
  I said, and the Lord, huh, You said, there's no one here but
• 2:34
  you and I. And I said, And the Lord, the
• 2:37
  Lord is always here with us. Oh yeah, that's right, It's
• 2:41
  late. My mind isn't working too well.
• 2:44
  That's it. What's it?
• 2:46
  The Lord must be calling you Samuel.
• 2:48
  You've been praying and studying your Bible and well, your heart
• 2:52
  is good ground. God looks for hearts like yours
• 2:55
  to use and show Himself strong to.
• 2:57
  But I'm just a boy. No matter faith causes God's
• 3:01
  Word to produce fruit in our lives.
• 3:03
  No matter how old you are, you go back to bed and when you hear
• 3:08
  that voice calling you again, say yes Lord, I'm listening.
• 3:12
  Yes, Master Eli. That's Samuel.
• 3:18
  Oh, to be able to live my life again the way he's living his.
• 3:22
  Of course, it's never too late to start.
• 3:30
  Never too late. Never too late.
• 3:34
  Ever. Why did you tell King David
• 3:49
  about me? He probably wants to kill me.
• 3:52
  I'm the only living heir to the throne.
• 3:55
  My grandfather Saul was king and he hated David.
• 3:58
  I never saw my grandfather because he was always out trying
• 4:01
  to kill David all the time. Don't worry.
• 4:04
  Huh. Easy for you to say.
• 4:06
  You're not the one King David wants to kill.
• 4:09
  He's not going to kill you. Then why did he send for me?
• 4:13
  Huh? Can you think of any other
• 4:15
  logical explanation? No, but you are no harm to the
• 4:20
  King. He knows that.
• 4:22
  How does he know that He doesn't even know me?
• 4:29
  Well, Ziba, where's Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan?
• 4:33
  Get up. I am Mephibosheth, son of
• 4:39
  Jonathan, son of King Saul. Oh.
• 4:43
  Did you see that he tried to strangle me?
• 4:46
  He was hugging you. I know what.
• 4:49
  A hug is That was a strangle. Don't you dare leave me alone
• 4:53
  with him. I would like to be alone with
• 4:55
  Mephibosheth. As you wish.
• 4:57
  Get back here. Don't leave me.
• 5:04
  Your father and I were best friends.
• 5:06
  I made him a promise when we were young.
• 5:09
  I promised that I would show kindness to him and his house
• 5:11
  forever. Did you say kindness or
• 5:16
  blindness? Don't be afraid, Mephibosheth.
• 5:19
  I wish your father were still alive.
• 5:21
  I'd like to ask him why he gave you such a long name.
• 5:25
  What do your friends call you, Chef.
• 5:27
  They used to call me Fib when I was little.
• 5:30
  Even though I didn't tell lies. It was kind of a joke.
• 5:33
  But they call me Chef now. May I call you Chef?
• 5:37
  Yes, Sir. Chef.
• 5:39
  I'm going to restore all your grandfather's land to you.
• 5:41
  It's yours. Thank you, King David.
• 5:44
  But what is it, chef? Well, Sir, in my condition,
• 5:48
  being crippled like I am, I can't work it.
• 5:51
  Zeba. Yes, Your Highness.
• 5:59
  Zeba, I have just given Mephibosheth all the land of
• 6:02
  your former master, King Saul. I want you to work it.
• 6:06
  I will pay you and however many men you need to hire to work for
• 6:09
  you. All the harvest will belong to
• 6:11
  Mephibosheth. Yes, Your Highness.
• 6:13
  Nephibosheth will eat with me here in the royal palace.
• 6:17
  Then I will leave and return after dinner to take him home.
• 6:21
  No, Ziba, he will eat every meal with me.
• 6:24
  I will give him living quarters for him and his family here at
• 6:27
  the palace. Sir, that is more than generous.
• 6:31
  I made a promise a long time ago to his father.
• 6:34
  I intend to keep it. You are trustworthy, King David.
• 6:38
  God wants His children to be trustworthy, willing to accept
• 6:40
  responsibility for their actions.
• 6:42
  I suppose that is only one of the many reasons God has chosen
• 6:46
  you to be king. I will go now.
• 6:50
  May I say goodbye to Ziva? Of course I will make
• 6:53
  arrangements for dinner. Please make yourself at home.
• 7:03
  Am I dreaming? Ziva no Chef, although I would
• 7:07
  not believe it if I had not heard it with my own ears.
• 7:11
  Come on, let's go find your room.
• 7:24
  All right, bow down, worship the idol, bring your money to me to
• 7:28
  give as a sacrifice to the God of ulla Mulla.
• 7:32
  Ah, King Josiah, have you come to worship ullah Mullah and
• 7:37
  present your offering? Haggy, you're horrible.
• 7:40
  What me horrible. How could you say that?
• 7:44
  Don't you realize that idol worship is a sin?
• 7:47
  My dear king, just last week you were here worshipping ullah
• 7:49
  Mullah, and you presented gold at the altar.
• 7:53
  That's because I didn't know any better, but now I have this.
• 7:57
  What is that? It's the book of the law, you
• 7:59
  know, the word of God. The word of God.
• 8:03
  Where did you find that? One of my priests found it in
• 8:05
  the temple. No one is to go into the temple.
• 8:09
  How many times have I told you don't go into the temple?
• 8:12
  That's what I said. OK, first of all, I'm the king,
• 8:15
  not you. Second of all, I didn't go in
• 8:18
  the temple, my priest did. Your priest.
• 8:21
  I thought I was your. Priest.
• 8:22
  Not anymore. You're fired.
• 8:25
  What? But why?
• 8:27
  I've done nothing but served the people all these years.
• 8:30
  I have made peace between man and ula Mullah.
• 8:33
  Ula Mullah is an idol and the word of God says not to have any
• 8:36
  idols. Ah, you have been reading the
• 8:40
  book. That is why I hit the book, so
• 8:42
  people like you would not read the book.
• 8:45
  Why can't people like me read the book?
• 8:47
  It is too hard for you to understand.
• 8:49
  And what's too hard to understand about You shall not
• 8:52
  worship idols. OK, well you don't have to
• 8:55
  worship ula Mullah, but you do have to obey ullah moolah.
• 9:00
  That is all. No worship, Just obey.
• 9:03
  And what does ullah moolah want us to do?
• 9:05
  Well, first, before entering the presence of ullah moolah, all
• 9:09
  the girls must kiss me, that's the ullah part.
• 9:12
  And all the boys must give me their money.
• 9:15
  That's the moolah part. What about loving God with all
• 9:17
  our hearts? No, you don't have to do that
• 9:20
  with ullah moolah. Well, what about loving others
• 9:22
  as we love ourselves? Nope, none of that.
• 9:25
  And what about wisdom? What does ula Mullah say about
• 9:28
  wisdom? Ula Mullah says if you want to
• 9:30
  be real wise, shut your mouth and close your eyes.
• 9:33
  Forget about the things you hear.
• 9:35
  Smoke a few cigarettes and drink some beer.
• 9:38
  That's horrible, Haggy. That's not what the word of God
• 9:41
  says. How can you call yourself a
• 9:43
  priest? What does the word of God say?
• 9:45
  Obeying and honoring God is the beginning of wisdom.
• 9:49
  I obey and honor ula Mullah. Without Ula Mullah, I would get
• 9:53
  no money from the boy and no kisses from the girls.
• 9:55
  All right, that does it. Haggy, you're.
• 9:57
  Fired. Captain, get Haggy out of here
• 10:00
  and don't you come back. Is not going to be happy.
• 10:04
  From now on, no more idol worship.
• 10:07
  We will worship God. We will love him and present our
• 10:11
  offering to Him. We will obey what the word of
• 10:13
  God says. From now on, I will seek the
• 10:16
  truth and obey it. Well, you can start crying
• 10:26
  anytime now. Your son is dead.
• 10:29
  So much from the promise of God, huh?
• 10:32
  My favorite saying is the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away,
• 10:37
  but I'm the one that does the taking.
• 10:42
  I must make the Word of God the final authority in my life.
• 10:46
  God gave me the Son and death cannot take him away.
• 10:50
  Elijah will pray for my son and he'll be fine.
• 10:53
  Most mothers would be crying uncontrollably right now.
• 10:57
  What's wrong with this lady? I should be asking what's right
• 11:01
  with this lady. I believe the promise of God
• 11:03
  more than I believe what I see with my eyes.
• 11:07
  I will not be afraid. I must go see Elijah.
• 11:10
  Elijah will know what to do. I've never seen anyone like you
• 11:14
  lady, but get this through your thick head.
• 11:17
  Your son is dead. Yay Shunammite woman, we saw you
• 11:29
  coming. Elisha sent me to see if
• 11:31
  everything is well. You don't usually come during
• 11:35
  the middle of the week like this.
• 11:37
  It is well. Is your husband OK it?
• 11:42
  Is well. Are you?
• 11:45
  OK, it is well. Then it's your son.
• 11:49
  How's he doing? It is Well, ah, oh, Master
• 11:56
  Elijah, thank you for seeing me. You don't have to bow to me.
• 12:01
  I think she wants your shoes, Master Elijah.
• 12:04
  If you wanted some shoes, you should have told me.
• 12:08
  We'll get you some, but you can't have Master Elijah's.
• 12:12
  Now let go and get up. Leave her be.
• 12:14
  Can't you see that something is wrong?
• 12:16
  She's upset about something and the Lord has not told me what it
• 12:19
  is. Well, she isn't going to tell
• 12:21
  you either. I've asked her and all she says
• 12:25
  is it is well. I didn't ask you for a son, but
• 12:29
  you promised me one. I told you not to lie to me.
• 12:33
  Ah. So something is wrong with your
• 12:36
  son. I know it.
• 12:38
  I know it. Gehazi, hush here, take my
• 12:42
  walking stick and go lay it on the boy.
• 12:44
  Yes. Sir.
• 12:47
  I'm not leaving you until you pray for my son.
• 12:51
  Very well then, take me to it. Mr. Iglesia, I didn't know you
• 12:57
  were coming, but it's a good thing you did.
• 13:00
  See, I put your walking stick on the boy, but nothing happened.
• 13:05
  By the way, I think he's. Dead.
• 13:08
  That is what you see, Gehazi. That is not what I see.
• 13:12
  God, this boy was a promise from you.
• 13:15
  I trust wholly in your promise. This boy is well.
• 13:21
  Mama. Pick up your son, he is well.
• 13:24
  He is well. Thank you, Elisha, and thank you
• 13:28
  God. Gehazi, she was right.
• 13:31
  It is. Well, let's go home.
• 13:33
  We need a new steak. This thing just isn't working
• 13:36
  like I used to. I'll bet they can't even park
• 13:40
  the Jordan River anymore. Hush, Kahazi.
• 13:43
  It's just a stick. It's not magic.
• 13:46
  I just use it when God tells me to.
• 13:48
  I don't know why the boy wasn't healed when you laid it on him.
• 13:51
  The important thing is that he's alive.
• 13:53
  Now you're right, Mr. Elijah. You're always right.
• 13:57
  That's why I'm the boss. I don't know how but that stick
• 14:04
  hurts. I feel like I got hit upside the
• 14:07
  head with it. I'm not messing with that Lady
• 14:10
  or her son anymore and that's for sure.
• 14:20
  Dear God, thank you for my two sons.
• 14:24
  Blessed Junior. He's a good boy, always obeys
• 14:28
  everything I tell him to do. Keep him healthy and strong,
• 14:33
  prosper his ways. God and Prodigal, wherever he
• 14:38
  is, protect him. Bring him back to me, God, so
• 14:42
  that I can give him the love he needs.
• 14:44
  I know he never obeyed me like Junior does, but I still love
• 14:48
  him. He's my son, God, and you gave
• 14:51
  him to me to raise him up to know you.
• 14:54
  I failed to do that. So I'm asking you for another
• 14:58
  chance. Pop, what are you doing out
• 15:01
  here? Praying for Prodigal?
• 15:02
  You come out here every day for nothing.
• 15:05
  He's not coming back, Pop. He's out there doing what he's
• 15:09
  always wanted to do. Sin.
• 15:13
  He's a loser. Let him go.
• 15:16
  I can't let him go, Junior. He's my son, just like you are.
• 15:20
  I love him and I always will. How can you say that after the
• 15:25
  way he's? Treated you all his.
• 15:27
  Life. It's the love of God in me.
• 15:30
  I can never stop loving him. Just like God never stops loving
• 15:34
  us when we make mistakes. Well, try not to stand out here
• 15:39
  all day. The servants think you're crazy.
• 15:42
  I'm going to work. There He is.
• 15:45
  Oh, prodigal. Look over there in the distance.
• 15:49
  I don't see anybody. He looks like a speck of dust in
• 15:52
  the wind from here. But it's him.
• 15:55
  I know it's him. God has answered my prayer.
• 15:59
  I don't see anything. You're crazy, Pop.
• 16:01
  I'm going back to work. It's him.
• 16:04
  Prodigal. Welcome.
• 16:07
  Home pop pop pop, I'm so glad to see you.
• 16:14
  I love you son. I'm so glad you're home.
• 16:17
  Look, Pop, I've been a real jerk.
• 16:21
  I've sinned against God and you. I've blown all the money you
• 16:25
  gave me and I'm not worthy to be your son.
• 16:29
  I just came to see if you could hire me as a servant, that's
• 16:32
  all. I don't deserve anything, but
• 16:35
  I'd be very grateful if you do that for me.
• 16:37
  Nonsense, you're my son, you need a robe, a ring and some
• 16:43
  shoes will kill the fatted calf and have a party.
• 16:49
  I don't understand. I I treated you badly all my
• 16:53
  life, how can you still? Still love you, yes?
• 16:59
  I hate myself. You need God's love inside of
• 17:03
  you. God's love caused me to pray in
• 17:06
  faith for you all this time. God doesn't hate you, and
• 17:10
  neither do I. Even after all I've done to
• 17:14
  disappoint you and and bring shame to our family.
• 17:17
  Son, the love of God never comes to an end.
• 17:21
  It's God's love in me that will always love you no matter what.
• 17:26
  Now come, let's eat and be merry.
• 17:29
  Kill the fatted calf. Bring the finest robe.
• 17:33
  Pop, the servants can't hear you.
• 17:37
  We're a long way from the house. Oh yeah, we're just two specks
• 17:41
  of dust in the wind. Come on, let's go home.
• 17:46
  Special. Thanks.
