The Bible Abridged
The Christian Bible: the book of stories and guidelines that shaped the western and, in a lot of ways, the whole world. And it's completely nuts. I go through the "holy" texts and retell the stories in all their crazy nonsense for the world to see just how nuts they all actually are.

Episode 1
David's oldest son, Adonijah, tries to take the throne upon his near death, but Nathan makes sure Solomon ends up king. The transfer of power was going smoothly until Adonijah asked Solomon if he could marry a little girl that David was sleeping alongside in his old age... yeah... weird.
Solomon had his brother killed and then took to the job of being king... pretty well actually. He married Pharaoh's daughter, creating an alliance with Egypt, had God give him wisdom and infinite riches, and built a crazy fancy temple for God to live in in style all decked out in gold!
