00:00Previously on House of David.
00:17I don't understand why your father trusts him.
00:20No, no, we don't trust him, but he is useful.
00:22I'm worried.
00:23I wish I could explain.
00:24I only ever asked you for one thing, to not embarrass me.
00:28I know about the anointing.
00:29Then you sit on your throne, remember who protected you.
00:34Give David what he wants.
00:35Let him marry Michal.
00:36But only after he completes one last mission.
00:40One he will not survive.
00:41Did you tell David he could marry me?
00:43I did.
00:44He is first proving his worth.
00:47Something's not right here.
00:48It's a trap!
00:52Burn them alive.
00:53Giant Slayer!
00:55Your king betrayed you!
00:56Why do you fight for him?
00:58My king, the Philistine forge is no more.
01:02I will have Michal's hand in marriage.
01:05It will be done.
01:06I want you out of this!
01:10You are banished!
01:12He will love you, and bless you, and increase your numbers.
01:25He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land, the calves of your herds, and the lambs of your flocks.
01:33In the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
01:37Listen to my words.
01:41When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will reveal myself to them in visions.
01:47I will speak to them in dreams, and in the towns of Judah and the streets which are deserted, there will be heard once more the sounds of joy, gladness, the voices of the bride and the bridegroom.
02:05Take water for you and the horse.
02:08Go.
02:10Here.
02:19What is it?
02:22An invitation.
02:24The Giant Slayer will wed the princess.
02:29It is Michal.
02:30A new dawn in Israel.
03:00Get water.
03:20Get water.
03:26Get water.
03:27callie, please inside.
03:29Leave the weapons.
03:50Take him to the car.
03:55Careful!
04:07Unfortunate the fires did not spread.
04:10Fortunate?
04:11All five grain silos filled just a few days ago.
04:16Our entire winter stock.
04:23Philistines.
04:25We killed their giant, but apparently not their spirits.
04:29Am I not dealing with enough?
04:32Increasing their assaults, forging better weapons.
04:36As are we.
04:38This is Achish.
04:40He is desperate for revenge.
04:42Without that grain, we could fall into famine before the spring.
04:46I suggest we tax the other tribes.
04:49Demand a ration of their supplies.
04:51We can start with Judah.
04:52I will not beg at anyone's feet.
04:55More weakness.
04:56Hunger is the greater threat.
04:58Starving people will do anything.
05:01What about Edom?
05:05The alliance of peace between us and Edom is fragile.
05:09The king is a better and vindictive man.
05:12We have not spoken in twenty years.
05:15I fear stirring a hornet's nest.
05:18I will negotiate with them.
05:19And how do you intend to negotiate without losing your head?
05:23Father, this is one situation where my reckless and indulgent past may benefit us.
05:34Let's just say I once spent a memorable night in Edom with the king's closest advisor.
05:39We are friends of a sort.
05:45Let me talk to him.
05:50Go and try.
05:53I will not fail you.
06:01The moment with my father, Emna.
06:08Do not take up the cause of your mother with me.
06:11No, I must.
06:13Cannot banish her forever.
06:15The queen deserves respect.
06:16What does the king deserve?
06:19Betrayal?
06:21How exactly has she betrayed you?
06:28David was never meant to return from that mission, was he?
06:31Philistines were waiting.
06:33This was your mother's doing.
06:35Perhaps now you understand my actions.
06:45David has proven himself.
06:47David has proven himself.
06:48He is now worthy of this family.
06:52Now sometimes I wonder if this family is worthy of him.
06:59Philistines the children boy, but it is true that he was the one.
06:59What does the community mean?
07:05He is completely alone, when he was.
07:09I think not the two to speak with her.
07:11I think that he is a good person.
07:14But I'm sorry.
07:15He is a good person.
07:17I don't know.
07:17I don't know.
07:18He is an elder.
07:19He is a good person.
07:20I think you can't do it.
07:21He is a good person.
07:22But I don't know her.
07:23What's happening to our family?
07:53What family?
08:23What is this one?
08:27The digging of wells in the north.
08:30Can they not dig wells themselves?
08:33With your money they can.
08:44What bothers you?
08:48Do you fear to speak to your king?
08:50No, no.
08:53Yet I long to speak to my friend.
09:00I deeply believe in you, Saul.
09:04You know this.
09:05I built my life on that belief.
09:10Continue.
09:12I'm concerned.
09:15The silos.
09:16Our enemies cannot...
09:17No, no, no.
09:18Not the silos nor our enemies.
09:22No one can bring down the house of Saul.
09:26But Saul himself.
09:30What good is a king who gains the whole world?
09:34Yet loses himself in the pursuit.
09:38Casting away Achino.
09:41Bringing in a servant into your bed.
09:43How she is my concubine.
09:46This is a king's right.
09:48Not the king of Israel.
09:51Not you.
09:54I beg of you, Saul.
09:57Remember the man you were.
10:01I think you've won.
10:20Would you like some good news?
10:22What kind of good news?
10:30No.
10:35Are you certain?
10:36I'm a healer, Jonathan.
10:38And a woman.
10:39So yes, I am certain.
10:44Oh, sorry.
10:46It's all right.
10:47I won't break.
10:49Does anyone else know?
10:55You were one for nothing.
10:57I will teach him how to ride horses and how to pick vegetables.
11:01And if she's a girl?
11:04Then I will do the same.
11:09We will live a peaceful and quiet life.
11:11A new village.
11:13Away from war and conflict.
11:16Sounds like quite a dream.
11:21Is it possible?
11:24Once the crown is on David's head, yes.
11:27I only need to ensure a peaceful path.
11:30Make sure my family is safe.
11:31In truth, I won't miss this place.
11:37Then I ask only this.
11:41Hold your secrets.
11:43Until our child is born and our lives are free and safe.
11:48Promise me.
11:50Promise me.
11:52Promise.
12:08This path is a mikveh.
12:10A ritual immersion before marriage to honor this new beginning.
12:13It's filled with living water from the earth.
12:27Blessed are you, eternal God.
12:30Ruler of the universe, who sanctifies us through mitzvot.
12:34You are to immerse yourself three times completely.
12:37Blessed is the eternal God of all creation.
12:50Who blessed me with life.
12:52And sustained me.
12:54And allowed me to reach this moment.
12:55I will betroth you to me.
13:08With righteousness.
13:10And justice.
13:12With goodness.
13:13And compassion.
13:15I will betroth you to me.
13:17Forever.
13:19And we will come to no other land.
13:25God.
13:45David.
13:47You can't see me like this.
13:49I'm a mess.
13:55I'm sorry about your mother.
14:00I know what it's like to see your family fractured.
14:03I know.
14:06But listen.
14:07We don't have to be our parents.
14:10We can start now.
14:13We will build our own future.
14:16Our own family.
14:18One without the lies.
14:20Betrayal.
14:22Bloodshed.
14:24It sounds ambitious.
14:26It does sound ambitious.
14:35David.
14:37I need to know that I have all of you.
14:45Hmm.
14:47Hmm.
14:53This is meant to take my mind off of the wedding.
15:08Do you want to go back to sulking in the palace?
15:11Yes.
15:13At least there there is wine.
15:15And when we're finished here there will be fresh meat for the wedding feast.
15:18Have you done this with my brother?
15:21Hmm.
15:22Ashbal doesn't need my help.
15:24You have truly come to love him.
15:27Haven't you?
15:29Love.
15:31He intrigues me.
15:32I intrigue him.
15:33And that is all that is required.
15:35I never thought any man could tame you.
15:38I'll never be tamed.
15:40Hmm.
15:44Ready or boo?
15:47You ready?
15:48Hmm?
15:53Go.
15:56I hate it.
15:58Come on, it's not over yet.
16:00Come on.
16:03Right.
16:04What do we do?
16:05Hold it down.
16:06Lie here on the inside.
16:08All right.
16:10I have to cut his throat, so look away if you must.
16:18Thank you for this gift.
16:19And let the blood return onto the earth and to you other night.
16:22My love was a good kill.
16:39Death is never easy.
16:42But sacrifice brings new life.
16:46To accept this is how we move forward.
16:50To bless the suffering.
16:53What?
17:00Why are you here?
17:01Why are you here?
17:22Why are you here?
17:23Why are you here?
17:24Why are you here?
17:30Make me back at the palace.
17:31What?
17:32I need to take care of something.
17:33Rina!
17:34My king.
17:35Jesse.
17:36Son of Obed.
17:37Father of David.
17:38I owe you a great debt, Jesse.
17:39Such a strong and determined son you have given me.
17:40I have given nothing.
17:41David chose this for himself.
17:42Was he always this headstone?
17:50Yes.
17:51A legacy from his mother.
17:52Tell me, Jesse.
17:53Have we met before?
17:54I served in the army at the battle of Javesh.
17:59I was also at Gilgal when Samuel crowned you king.
18:02Samuel.
18:03Do you know him?
18:04Do you know him?
18:05I revere him.
18:06Many revere him.
18:07Many revere him.
18:08Many revere them.
18:24I do not know him.
18:34Could you have imagined that one day your house would join with mine?
18:41It is the last thing I would have imagined.
18:47It is not much of a moir, but it is all that I have.
18:53Oh, Jesse, please. It is I who should be gifting you.
18:58Avner.
19:00I do not want anything.
19:02All men want something.
19:05I have never been indebted to the throne.
19:09I have no wish to change that.
19:12You have an unusual way of accepting gratitude.
19:16Gratitude.
19:21I have lost a son in your service.
19:25Now I am losing another.
19:27To a future that I never would have chosen for him.
19:33This displeases you?
19:36Back in the hills of Bentley. My... my home.
19:41I will miss my sons.
19:44I will miss them.
19:46Come.
19:48Father.
19:50This is a celebration.
19:52Mark it as one.
19:53Yes.
19:58Come.
20:03Yes.
20:05Come.
20:07Yes.
20:09Yes.
20:12Yes.
20:14Yes.
20:16Yes.
20:18Yes.
20:19That was a good idea, huh?
20:49Red. I want all the pillows red.
21:09Everything must be ready before our guests arrive.
21:14Go help in the garden.
21:17Very impressive.
21:19I'm looking for my father.
21:23Seems you're the one to ask.
21:25I think you'll find him in his throne.
21:34Edom will send 20 wagons of grain before Yom Torah,
21:3720 more by Sukkot.
21:39That and a small tithe from the tribes should see us through the winter.
21:43I wouldn't have thought it possible.
21:46All things are possible, father.
21:48Come.
21:56Come.
21:59The king of Edom would not offer this if there was not something in it for him.
22:03Of course.
22:06The details I leave to you.
22:08But the king intends to travel here shortly to discuss.
22:11Mm-hmm.
22:12And you were right.
22:14He is bitter.
22:15But he is also wise enough to recognize that we are much more powerful.
22:20And he needs new alliances.
22:22He seemed eager to move on from old grievances.
22:33I have underestimated you, my son.
22:36You don't think it's, it's a bit heavy?
22:54No, I think it's nice.
22:55May I have a moment with my sister?
23:09Of course.
23:10What do you want?
23:18What do you want?
23:27How long have we talked about this day?
23:30We dreamed about it with mother for years.
23:33I couldn't miss it.
23:38And I cannot let you wear that monstrosity.
23:41Michali.
23:42It's awful.
23:45I knew it.
23:47I knew it wasn't right.
23:49Go with gold.
23:51You always wear gold.
23:52There.
24:09It's better.
24:11It's better.
24:12Mother should be here.
24:27She should.
24:31But since she is not, I will be.
24:36There has been enough suffering in this family lately.
24:39And so she would probably want you to have this.
24:48That you know that she is always with you.
24:53Yes.
24:54It's beautiful.
25:04Now what are we going to do about that face?
25:09Certainly.
25:15You don't have to be here.
25:24Haven't you done that.
25:26Yes?
25:28You haven't had to be here.
25:30Hey.
25:31Yeah.
25:31Where have you been?
25:57I had a conversation for later.
25:59There's blood in your hands.
26:00Yes, I was hunting. I'm sorry.
26:03Like I said, we'll talk later.
26:08Look, David is coming.
26:21Look at your baby.
26:30The princess of the princess, look.
26:37Look.
26:44Oh, my God.
27:14My king, I have come into your house that you may give me your daughter Michal as my wife.
27:26And may the Lord make this woman like Rachel and Leah, who together built the family of our nation.
27:33May we be established in Gevea and famous in Bethlehem and all the tributes of Israel.
27:40And may our children profess their loyalty to this kingdom and their love to Adonai for all eternity.
27:52To my beautiful daughter, Michal, and my new son, the Giant Slayer!
28:01You will be my wife for all the time God affords us together.
28:19Long may it be.
28:20I love you, David.
28:25I love you, Michal.
28:26I love you, Michal.
28:35I love you, Michal.
28:36I love you, Michal.
28:53Princess Michal, David.
28:59Princess Michal, David, it is a beautiful ceremony.
29:06It's beautiful, dear. Thank you.
29:10What will we do with all of this?
29:12I don't know. We've received five of the same pot.
29:18I'll be right back.
29:19Sure.
29:24Father, why must you leave so early?
29:27I have proudly witnessed your marriage, son.
29:31Now I must return to our flocks.
29:35Thank you for coming all this way.
29:38David.
29:42Seeing as your mother was right, King David.
29:48Two words I never imagined together.
29:51But how will you, how will you be different?
30:00I think we both know how history will remember, Saul.
30:04How will it remember you?
30:08I will pray for you, son.
30:10God above all, yes?
30:12Of course.
30:13I love you, son.
30:19I love you, father.
30:23Do not let this place corrupt you, David.
30:25Okay, father, let's go.
30:27I've been giving permission to the king.
30:29I don't need a guide.
30:30Stop complaining, father.
30:32Just enjoy the company, huh?
30:35David.
30:35David.
30:36Let's go.
30:39Let's go, baby.
30:47David.
30:50You have exalted the tribe of Judah.
30:53For this, I bless you.
30:56What is it you want, Adriel?
30:58Come now.
30:59I'm here to celebrate your rise.
31:02And remind you who cleared the path along the way.
31:06God clears my path.
31:07Yes, but God gives you friends as well, does he not?
31:12And if you are to achieve your ambitions,
31:15you will need them, huh?
31:18Hmm.
31:27I know what you did.
31:29My family grieved Tovianuskin.
31:33They were innocent.
31:34And do you know who put the blade to his heart?
31:39And his family?
31:41Even the baby?
31:43Huh?
31:43Your own brother, Iliath.
31:47So tell me, is he innocent or are you?
31:50Oh, David, there is much you do not know, my little shepherd boy.
31:59And nothing, nothing escapes my ears.
32:03And you expect me to reward you for this?
32:05When you have taken the throne, yes.
32:08Or one word from me to Saul and the next blood on the ground will be yours.
32:11And what do you expect happens then, huh?
32:19When the king finds out you lied about Samuel's anointed?
32:24Huh?
32:25Speak the truth.
32:27And they will be the last words to ever leave your mouth.
32:34I owe you nothing.
32:35Well, then, you also know that there is nothing for us to talk about.
33:05You enjoy your wedding day, brother.
33:16Enjoy.
33:17Lovely to speak to you.
33:19Eshwal.
33:21Congratulations on your sister's special day.
33:24Thank you, Adriel.
33:26Although, let's be honest.
33:28This union cannot be helpful to you, huh?
33:31Oh, and why is that?
33:33Well, David, it's just one more obstacle between you and the throne.
33:39No, I was never destined for the throne.
33:41You're speaking to the wrong brother.
33:42Am I?
33:44Come Eshwal.
33:48I know how a man like you thinks.
33:51I see you for who you are.
33:55What do you see?
33:56Ambition, fierceness, all the makings of a king.
34:04If only there was someone who could help clear those obstacles, huh?
34:07I no longer drink wine.
34:12Trust me.
34:13You will want a drink when you hear this.
34:23I've been holding a secret.
34:26The truth.
34:30David is not at all who he says he is.
34:33Come.
34:42Come.
34:42Father.
35:10Father.
35:11Father, I need to tell you a story about an outcast from a nearby tribe, a bastard in
35:18his family, ashamed to his people, cursed to his father's name.
35:26This outcast joined your household, comforted you with his music, married your daughter,
35:32and yet he never told you the truth, that the prophet Samuel journeyed to his home, which
35:39is why his curse was passed to you.
35:42All along, he was the cause of the very torment from which he was meant to comfort you.
35:49We have been deceived.
35:52You killed the wrong son of Judah.
35:55Think of it, Father.
35:56He slayed the giant.
35:57God has favored him in battle, time after time, as he once favored you.
36:02The traitor you seek has been here in your house the whole time.
36:08Right in front of you, the anointed one, is David.
36:15Dina, what's so important that you wanted to talk to me about?
36:33What is it?
36:34I don't know who in the palace we can trust.
36:36What do you mean?
36:37Today, in the woods, I've witnessed a man with a patch over one eye.
36:40It was the same man who killed my father.
36:42How can you be sure?
36:43Because I followed him.
36:44What?
36:45Ashbal, he was meeting with Doeg.
36:46I told you I had a bad feeling about that man.
36:47No.
36:48No.
36:49What if the attack on our convoy wasn't just bandits?
36:51What if it was planned?
36:52I mean, someone here in the palace is...
36:53In a conspiracy?
36:54Who?
36:55We have to go to the king now.
36:56No.
36:57No, no, no.
36:58My father has been half balanced lately.
36:59The smallest thing can set him off.
37:00And he'd never believe that about Doeg, not without proof.
37:01I have proof.
37:02I have proof.
37:03Here.
37:04Read it.
37:05The sailors weren't burned by the Philistines and more attacks are planned.
37:10I have proof.
37:11Here.
37:12Read it.
37:13The sailors weren't burned by the Philistines and more attacks are planned.
37:15What if the ship was planned?
37:16What if it was planned?
37:17I mean, someone here in the palace is...
37:18In a...
37:19In a...
37:20A conspiracy?
37:21Who?
37:22We have to go to the king now.
37:23No, no, no.
37:24My father has been...
37:25Half balanced lately.
37:26The smallest thing can set him off.
37:27I need never believe that about Doeg, not without proof.
37:28I have proof.
37:29Here.
37:30Read it.
37:31You must...
37:32You must leave this with me, speak of it to no one.
37:33Rashpal?
37:34They murdered my father.
37:35Tina.
37:36Stop.
37:37Why?
37:38No, I won't let this rest.
37:39I can't.
37:40What?
37:41What is it?
37:42What is it?
37:43No, no, no.
37:44I'm not.
37:45I'm not.
37:46I'm not.
37:47I'm not.
37:48I'm not.
37:49I'm not.
37:50I'm not.
37:51I'm not.
37:52I'm not.
37:53I'm not.
37:54I'm not.
37:55I'm not.
37:56I'm not.
37:57I'm not.
37:58I'm not.
37:59I'm not.
38:00Huh?
38:02I didn't expect this.
38:03What?
38:04To fall in love with you.
38:09Sorry.
38:13What?
38:14I don't know.
38:26Sorry.
38:28What?
38:42What?
38:43No!
38:44No!
38:45Not a sound, sister.
38:47You cannot make a sound.
38:49Do you understand?
39:00You killed her.
39:02It's not as simple as that.
39:04There are things you don't know.
39:05Ispan, you murdered your wife.
39:09You murdered Dina.
39:10Calm down.
39:11I need you to compose yourself.
39:13Espan.
39:14I don't know who you are.
39:16I don't know anything.
39:20I need to find a mother.
39:21I need to go.
39:22I need to leave.
39:23Stop.
39:24Stop.
39:28Listen to me for a moment.
39:32Remember you asked me what happened while I was gone.
39:37I'll tell you.
39:39I need to be a mother.
39:44It doesn't matter.
39:46It was a great day.
39:48I didn't know you did.
39:49The life that I knew ended.
39:54And from the wreckage of that weak, pitiful boy,
39:59I emerged with a purpose,
40:02and I will do whatever I must to see it through.
40:09The silos.
40:13You burned down the great silos.
40:19Yes.
40:25You had Mother crown you.
40:28You tore her and Father apart.
40:32You pushed me to marry David.
40:36Why?
40:37It's about to attend.
40:40Not the future.
40:43For all of us.
40:45You've lost your mind.
40:47You've lost your mind.
40:48No, no.
40:50I have finally found it.
40:53Father is weak and corrupt.
40:54You've seen it.
40:55You're hurting me.
40:56His kingdom is rotting under him,
40:57and if we do not act,
40:59if I do not act,
41:03we will lose everything.
41:08You saw what happened to Mother.
41:13I do not want that for you.
41:16Or for Miral.
41:17Don't you touch her.
41:21I'm going to build something new,
41:24something so much better.
41:28But...
41:29No one could know
41:34what you saw today.
41:39Do you understand?
41:40Are you threatening me?
41:44Are you threatening me?
41:48Miral.
41:51Dina stumbled into something bigger than her.
41:55I had no choice.
41:57But you are my sister.
42:01The other half of my soul.
42:07You are the only one
42:08who mourned my banishment.
42:11My one true ally
42:12in this family.
42:14And I need you now.
42:18More than ever.
42:21By my side.

43:10she was found by a guard
43:13he heard a scream near the foot of the western gates
43:19so sorry
43:26this good night had been an accident
43:29this is our enemy striking against us
43:33what reason could anyone possibly have to kill Dina
43:35a threat
43:38if a princess could be killed within the castle walls
43:42they simply walked past the guards
43:43killed her unseen
43:45no
43:48someone in this palace is responsible
43:51no one is responsible
43:53Dina had been confiding in me
44:01she pretended to be strong
44:05but the death of her father affected her more than we knew
44:08she often spoke about ending her own life
44:12she never told me this
44:17she was afraid
44:21that you would not love her
44:24in her weakness
44:25that nobody could
44:27I am so sorry brother
44:32more than you could ever know
44:36I love you
44:44I love you
44:45I love you
44:49Apologies, my prince.
45:11The king calls for you.
45:13He needs to hear your play.
45:16Now?
45:17Is he unwell?
45:18I'm sure he'll be fine.
45:36Avner, what troubles him?
45:39There are many things that trouble the king.
45:40I'm sure seeing you will remedy them.
45:48It is you, isn't it?
46:15My king?
46:26I loved you.
46:28Trusted you.
46:31And still you betrayed me.
46:34My king, I am loyal to you.
46:39I always have been.
46:40My king, please just sit down.
47:07Did he choose you?
47:10Did he?
47:11Did someone choose you?
47:13No.
47:16No.
47:19God chose me.
47:21God!
47:22God!
47:45God!
