King George and the Ducky

King George And The Ducky is the thirteenth episode in the VeggieTales animated series. It was released in April 2000 on VHS and on May 20, 2003 on DVD. Subtitled "A lesson about... Selfishness", it teaches viewers that they must think of others before themselves. The message is conveyed through a story based on the Biblical account of David and Bathsheba from Second Samuel.

Although the VeggieTales adaptation remains relatively true to the source, Bathsheba is represented by a rubber duck, thus replacing the sin of adultery with the less difficult crime of theft. But the essence of the story remains intact: the King covets something belonging to his neighbor and takes it for his own; the selfish act is condemned by a king who wasn't so bright.

The subsequently released Duke and the Great Pie War is a prequel to this episode.
