Kingdom of David: The Saga of the Israelites: By the River of Babylon

SINOPSE

Documentary series. In 586BC, the Babylonians lead almost all that remains of the tribe of Judah, the Israelites, to exile in Babylon and, as the Judeans seem destined to disappear, they fight back by writing a book based on stories from the past. The book is the earliest edition of the Bible. This episode introduces the early and profoundly influential figures of Judaism, beginning with Abraham, Moses and David.
