King David (1985)

Tim Woodward: Joab

Quotes 

• Joab : ...Every day, he

  [Absalom] 

  Joab : stands in the marketplace, preaching to the people and stealing their affections. The rabble are flocking to his side, David. Some say he's planning a rebellion. I would've thought that was obvious! Absalom is a traitor who must be dealt with...

  David : Absalom is MY SON! Any man who dares to call the king's son a traitor, without the evidence to support such a claim, shall himself meet the fate of a traitor... by my own hand!

  Joab : I am giving you the evidence.

  David : "Some say" is not evidence.

  Joab : Your love blinds you, my friend.
