As Saul grows paranoid of David’s power, Ahinoam plants a dangerous idea to end his troubles for good. To prove his loyalty and earn Mychal’s hand, Saul orders David to destroy a Philistine forge and personally kill one hundred of their enemies. Meanwhile, Jonathan reckons with a future where he’ll never be king. Achish is given an opportunity. A royal feast turns sour when Saul goes too far.

00:00You
00:10Previously on House of David when I was young there were these stones your mother loved him
00:16So I had this made for her. I trust you've checked every corner for scorpions
00:22Be careful to crush them
00:24If there's love to be found, I must embrace it
00:27But I still can. Jonathan, what are you doing here?
00:32David I have never been chosen. I deserve to have a future as much as Michal
00:37Please don't embarrass me
00:39Tell me son of Judah, does your conscience still drown in the blood of the innocent family you slaughtered?
00:45Get away son, run!
00:47Lately you seem to be fighting more than the enemy
00:49They would crown that boy today if they could
00:56He is a threat
00:58Why do you refuse to see it?
00:59My king
01:02David
01:03I will not marry Miralv
01:07Do what you must
01:09I will not marry your father
01:10You stand there
01:11Be careful not you
01:12You stand there
01:12Be natürlich
01:13hybrid
01:13And жить
02:38If David is not grateful for the favor of his king, let him leave.
03:05Banish him back to the hills of Bethlehem.
03:07Back to nothing.
03:08And what then?
03:10You're the one who put him on this pedestal.
03:12Should he step off, the people will blame you for it, not him.
03:15Now, my king, your hands are tight.
03:17The king's hands are never tight!
03:20There is another solution.
03:21You're the king.
03:26Close the doors and leave us.
03:29Give David what he wants.
03:34Let him marry Michal.
03:35But only after he completes one last mission.
03:41One that will prove his worthiness, win her hand.
03:46One he will not survive.
03:51My queen, the boy, serves this house.
03:54He inspires our people.
03:55Then let them be inspired.
03:58One last time.
04:04The giant slayer will die a hero at the hands of our enemies.
04:09Leave our nation with a legend they will cherish.
04:14And soon forget.
04:16My king, this plan comes with significant risk, should it fail.
04:25Then don't fail, Evner.
04:28But I do care about the boy.
04:31I know.
04:36But David grows more powerful by the day, and soon you will not be able to contain him.
04:46My king, my husband, heed my words, as you always have, for the sake of your throne, and the future of our family.
05:06David must die.
05:16You make it look harder than it is.
05:40I confess, I don't have much experience.
05:42But the regular parts of your prince's duties.
05:46Oh.
05:48You can see why you love it here.
06:06Jonathan?
06:10Why have you come?
06:12To ask you to marry me?
06:30Jonathan.
06:30I'm sorry about your brother.
06:33They could not protect him.
06:36And...
06:36You're right.
06:39I take lives...
06:40It wasn't fair of me to blame you.
06:44And I know my brother was honored to fight beside you.
06:48But as much as I can understand it, I cannot live your life.
06:53Then we will build our own life.
06:55I love you.
06:57You have healed more than my body.
06:59I cannot see my future without you.
07:04I refuse to.
07:06You're the firstborn prince of Israel.
07:09One day, whether I like it or not, you are going to be king.
07:14And I do not wish to be queen.
07:15What if I wasn't...
07:16Wasn't what?
07:17...going to be king?
07:19But you are.
07:20There is something I need to tell you.
07:37Have you come to gloat?
07:41I came to apologize.
07:42I never intended to hurt you.
07:49You would have to matter to me for your betrayal to hurt.
07:54Besides, my father will probably banish you to Egypt.
07:58Or maybe have you dragged behind a hundred horses until you beg for death.
08:03Yeah.
08:04Or make you a eunuch.
08:06Hmm.
08:06I like it.
08:07I'll recommend it to him myself.
08:09I wish I could explain to you.
08:10There is nothing for you to explain.
08:12We had a public arrangement.
08:14An arrangement has no reason to marry.
08:16It isn't fair to either of us.
08:17Do not talk to me about what is fair.
08:25I only ever asked you for one thing.
08:28One, to not embarrass me.
08:32And now it appears you have embarrassed us both.
08:35You defied the man who made you famous because you want what you want.
08:41And you do not care who you hurt.
08:43And now you will face the consequences.
08:49Goodbye, David.
08:51You will not be missed.
08:53Samuel anointed David, the shepherd, to be the next king of Israel.
09:07Yes.
09:09And your father does not know this.
09:12No.
09:13So if he finds out...
09:14What about Michal, does she know?
09:18Only me.
09:19And, uh, well, now you.
09:21I should have told you I am not good at lying.
09:24Sorry.
09:31Why are you telling me this?
09:35Because God has a design.
09:36And it is clear it does not involve me becoming king.
09:43I'm sorry.
09:48No.
09:50I've spent my entire life
09:52watching other men discover their destinies.
09:57A man laid before me.
09:59Already written in stone.
10:04Now God has chosen David.
10:06And somehow...
10:09I feel...
10:12Relief.
10:15In truth, I feel free.
10:18Perhaps for the first time...
10:20In my life.
10:25But I do not need...
10:28To search for passion.
10:32Because it walked into my life and it found me.
10:36It's to marry me.
10:44When?
10:46Today.
10:48Here.
10:49Only in the presence of God and your kin.
10:55All I desire is here.
10:56Do you know the turmoil you have caused in this house?
11:12Speak the truth to me.
11:15You refused to marry me, Raav,
11:16because of your love for Michal, yes?
11:18Yes.
11:19Yes.
11:20And you would do anything for this love?
11:24You would die for it?
11:28I would.
11:29I married for love.
11:34When I was not much older than you.
11:36Well, then you must understand.
11:39I do.
11:40And I am willing to compromise.
11:42I will allow you to marry Michal.
11:47Because I know you love her.
11:49But first...
11:52You must prove your devotion to me.
11:56Anything.
11:56I will fight any battle for you.
12:04The Philistine forge at Goth.
12:07Where they are crafting weapons of iron.
12:09You must destroy it.
12:11Burn it to the ground.
12:13Consider it done.
12:14It will not be easy.
12:16It is fortified and elevated.
12:18They will see your army from a long distance away.
12:20Well, then...
12:22I will take only my finest men.
12:25You will do more than that.
12:29They have raided my villages,
12:31murdered my people.
12:33In return...
12:37You will personally kill 100 Philistines
12:41and bring me their foreskins.
12:43This will make you worthy of my daughter's hand.
12:48My king, I would kill 1,000.
12:50If it meant I could be with Michal.
12:53Then may God be with you.
12:57But David...
13:02Love is one thing.
13:05Loyalty is another.
13:06You will speak of this to no one.
13:10Especially Michal.
13:13I will not disappoint you.
13:20David...
13:28Before you go...
13:31Before you go...
13:35Will you play for me?
13:41Jonathan, son of Saul, today you have honored our family.
14:11As you join our houses, and take my granddaughter, Sara, as your wife.
15:07As beautiful as ever.
15:29God go with you, son.
15:36God go with you, son.
15:43It was foolish what you did.
15:58And brave.
15:59Mostly foolish.
16:05Eichel, can I ask you a question?
16:09Mm-hmm.
16:10If we could still marry, would you?
16:15David, we've talked about this.
16:19We can't.
16:20If we could.
16:21Why are you asking me this?
16:24Why now?
16:25If I could say more, I would.
16:27But all I need is a simple yes or no.
16:32Yes.
16:33But, David, that doesn't change the situation.
16:36Please just trust me.
16:38I will be back.
16:39Back?
16:40Yes.
16:41Back?
16:42Back from where?
16:43I will be back.
16:44David.
16:47Where else in my kingdom can I drink wine like this?
16:51Mm.
16:56It is decidedly strong.
16:58Mm.
16:59Strength knows strength.
17:01I'm afraid to ask what it is made from.
17:08Best you don't.
17:19Surely someone is not still in your head.
17:22Like a terror might.
17:25We have each suffered from pestilence.
17:30But I turned my blade on my enemies, not myself.
17:35That is how I was freed from this.
17:38So, if God no longer troubles you, what is it?
17:51David?
17:53I would ask how you knew that.
18:00I listen.
18:01I observe.
18:02Mm.
18:03But I will tell you a story.
18:06I knew a man once.
18:09Kept a tiger.
18:11Magnificent creature.
18:13He fed it by hand, only the finest meat.
18:17And the tiger loved him for that.
18:20Until one day, it decided it had a taste for something, uh, richer.
18:27Time came.
18:28The tiger had to move.
18:29And you have friends?
18:30A great many friends.
18:31And Philistia?
18:32Philistia?
18:33I listen as well.
18:34I observe.
18:35Send him a message.
18:36What do I...
18:37...remember who you are?
18:38I know.
18:39I know.
18:40I know.
18:41I know.
18:42I know.
18:43I know.
18:44I know.
18:45I know.
18:46I know.
18:47I know.
18:48I know.
18:49I know.
18:50You know.
18:51But I can see.
18:53You get to see what he needs, and you know.
18:56Hey, guys, Ron.
18:58I скp profite.
19:00I hold him to my forces.
19:03Wake up.
19:04That day.
19:05We.
19:06I host so muchness from people of South Africa,
19:08and watch over local tourists to the Р conversing.
19:11Always my king.
19:30Does your conscience don't drown in the blood of the innocent family you slaughtered?
19:35They are going to kill your way to the throne. Is that it?
19:55Keep your voice down. These are our enemies, Aliof.
20:00Yeah. I started to question what that even means.
20:07No. You're staying.
20:10Really? You're going to fight without me? Do you have a death wish?
20:19No. But you do. I see the way you fight out there every battle.
20:26You don't listen to orders or reason. You put everyone's lives around you at risk.
20:30You're the one who's going to get yourself killed, brother. But not on my command.
20:37David. Where is Aliof?
20:46Aliof's not coming. No?
20:50David!
20:52Uriah.
20:53May I see your sword?
20:54Neneer.
20:55All right.
20:56Where is Aliof?
20:58Aliof's not coming.
20:59Now.
21:00David!
21:01Uriah.
21:02May I see your sword?
21:04All right.
21:07May I see your sword?
21:10All right.
21:15For you, Commander, specially forged of iron.
21:19By a new blacksmith.
21:21Oh, all yours.
21:27Very nice.
21:29Thank you, Ryan.
21:31Let's go put us a good use.
21:37Let's ride.
22:07Let's ride.
22:13Let's ride.
22:16Let's ride.
22:21Oh, my God.
22:51Oh, my God.
23:21There's a message.
23:23From where?
23:25Israel.
23:29Why are you looking?
23:48Hmm?
23:49Because you're not here with me.
23:53I am.
23:57I am here.
23:59There is no place I would rather be.
24:03I ask you a favor.
24:05Hmm?
24:07When David marries Michal, it will be such a grand event.
24:13Will you allow me to attend?
24:17Not as a servant, but as a guest.
24:25My dear, that would create quite a stir in this household.
24:33No.
24:35Yes.
24:37Of course.
24:39I understand.
24:41What?
24:43Huh?
24:45Because, yeah.
24:47Because, yeah.
24:59My sweet.
25:01I should find a way to make it up to you.
25:09For bringing your light into my life.
25:11Okay.
25:25Don't get up.
25:27Stay down there by my husband's feet.
25:29What is it you want, Aynon?
25:33Our son has returned.
25:37With news.
25:39Yes.
25:40Yes.
25:41Here he comes.
25:43In his nightgown.
25:45Jonathan.
25:46Good to see you.
25:47Yes.
25:48Father.
25:49We have some news.
25:51You're getting married, aren't you?
25:53No.
25:55We are married.
25:57What?
25:59We are married.
26:01What?
26:03We are married.
26:05What?
26:07We are married.
26:09What?
26:11We are married.
26:13What?
26:15When?
26:17Of course you are.
26:19Jonathan, congratulations.
26:33Our future king has found his beautiful queen.
26:39But the union is not valid.
26:41Then we will make it valid.
26:43This calls for a feast.
26:49This is called more.
26:53This is called more.
27:03More.
27:05Look at them.
27:15See?
27:17They are trying so hard to look happy.
27:21It's really sad.
27:23What's spinning in that little head of your sister?
27:33It's nice, you know.
27:35After everything, they love each other and they found the way to be together.
27:41It's nice.
27:43Forgive me, yeah?
27:44It's dangerous.
27:53Would you excuse me?
27:55I'm back.
27:57Mother.
27:59Mother.
28:01I know this isn't what you'd envision for me.
28:07But I love her.
28:09Deeply.
28:11And I feel it in my spirit.
28:23This is what God had intended for me.
28:25Well.
28:27If you truly love her, then...
28:29How could I not be happy?
28:31My boy.
28:35Mm-hmm.
28:37Go, enjoy yourself.
28:41Go, enjoy yourself.
29:02How are we supposed to fight some half-freshments, huh?
29:05There are never enough rations for you, my friend.
29:09Yes, David.
29:11David, how do we always have to leave the palace?
29:15Where are we going now?
29:17We are going to destroy an iron forge near Gath.
29:19Why only 30 of us?
29:21It's iron fortified.
29:23And sometimes I feel I can do more with my best men than an army of a thousand.
29:27Yeah, best man.
29:29That's why I'm here.
29:31You're here because you're his brother.
29:35So, Uriah, you've traveled much, haven't you?
29:37I have.
29:39I'm a Hittite.
29:40I came here through Egypt as a boy.
29:42Betrayed.
29:43You've been to Egypt?
29:44Yes.
29:45Yes.
29:46And the great sea of Inadab.
29:47Hey, tell me about the women in Egypt.
29:49They're not as beautiful as the women here.
29:51Ah.
29:52So why did you decide to stay, Uriah?
29:54In Israel?
29:56In Israel.
29:57Because our gods were made of stone.
30:00And your god is real.
30:03Thank you for your generosity.
30:20I am honored to join your family.
30:22I have never seen this look on his face.
30:26The honor is ours.
30:33I want to make a toast to my beloved brother Jonathan, who made the brave and admirable choice to marry for love.
30:48Brother, I hope it is everything they say it is.
30:57Endless joy and unwavering devotion.
31:03I hope it's worth the risk.
31:07So...
31:12To the prince!
31:13To the prince!
31:24I'm starting to regret getting the plan myself.
31:26Mirav.
31:27Mirav.
31:28Look.
31:29Well, it seems someone is working her way up.
31:44We all serve at the pleasure of the king.
31:47Some more than others.
31:49We invited your concubine to our son's celebration.
32:19No.
32:20No.
32:21I didn't.
32:22Then order her out.
32:25Now.
32:26Kezia.
32:27I understand you are the one responsible for this.
32:48And you are the one responsible for bringing my son and his beautiful wife together.
32:53Yes, my king.
32:55She is a great healer.
32:58Indeed.
33:01Then it is you we should be thanking for all of this.
33:05Once a servant.
33:06Now she is an honored guest.
33:15Please join us.
33:17A seat.
33:18She has no shame.
33:33The heim.
33:34She is wearing mother's necklace.
33:35I think it looks good on her.
33:36Don't blame the servant.
33:37She is doing what she must.
33:38She is surviving.
33:43Honestly, I am impressed.
33:44No.
33:45She must be manipulating him somehow.
33:46Smichal, stop.
33:47Stop what?
33:48Stop defending him.
33:49I am not defending him.
33:50You think we don't know what is happening?

37:55Welcome.
37:58Something is wrong.
38:02Why are you not with David?
38:04Avner did not send me.
38:10Why would father send him off without any of his men?
38:16Your wife?
38:20Leave it with me.
38:39Elam.
38:40Is this a bat?
38:45It was.

38:55I saw you.

39:03Sometimes I spare one.
39:05It makes me feel less heathen.
39:08Steady now.
39:13Let's not do something we will come to regret.
39:16You sent a note.
39:17Just as David left the palace.
39:19To whom?
39:21And what about?
39:23Knowing will only drag you into something you are best not to understand.
39:27Tell me now.
39:36I don't mind.
39:38I know you hold a candle for Princess Michal.
39:43Allow events to unfold.
39:46As they will.
39:47And you will come to thank me in the end.
39:51Did you tell David he could marry me?
39:58Lower your voice, Michal.
40:00Did you?
40:02I did.
40:02He is first proving his worth.
40:08Proving his worth?
40:10After everything he's done?
40:12Mind your tongue, Michal.
40:13Why must you always hurt the ones most loyal to you?
40:18Yes, David loves me, but he also loves you.
40:21He would do anything for you.
40:23And where is he?
40:28Father, where have you sent him?
40:34Let's go.
40:35Yes, my prince.
40:50Apologies.
40:51Yoav.
40:52It is about David.
40:54I believe he's in trouble.
40:57Go.
41:05It's hard to breathe.
41:14Something's not right here.
41:16Check the guards.
41:18Don't need the guards remain.
41:20Why is the fire still burning?
41:22I don't know.
41:24Wait!
41:24It's a trap!
41:26Take cover!
41:27Take cover!
41:35Burn them alive.
41:41Leaving so soon?
41:45My queen.
41:48I was not feeling well.
41:51Oh.
41:52That is a shame.
41:55You seem to be enjoying yourself.
41:59Putting on quite...
42:00that is playing.
42:20He will grow tired of you.
42:24What then?
42:25Perhaps it is you in gross time, doll.
42:30I was not feeling well.
42:53Let's block all the exits!
42:55Move!
42:56They knew we were coming!
42:57We've been betrayed!
42:58We're going to burn the land in here, Commander!
43:04Help me move the charge to the doors!
43:06But that's our only way out!
43:09Dammit!
43:10I know!
43:11We fight fire with fire!
43:13Dammit!
43:14Rush!
43:15Rush!
43:16Rush!
43:17Oh my God!
43:24Brothers, it is me thereafter.
43:27If we survive this, I will throw them to the front gate.
43:30Let's get there and save yourselves!
43:34Ready?
43:35Yes, Dammit!
43:54Where he is?
43:55Over here!
43:56Kill, Dammit!
43:58Get him!
44:26Seize him!
44:51I will finish him myself.
45:21I will finish him.
45:51Should I help him?
46:06No, let the gods decide.
46:36My king, let me finish this.
46:43Hashem?
46:44The name?
46:45The god of gods.
46:46Is he?
46:47And there can be no other.
46:48We need no other.
46:52My king, he's only one man.
46:55But their god is now with him, not with Saul.
47:00Giant Slayer.
47:01Your king betrayed you.
47:05Why do you fight for him?
47:09Seize him!
47:10I love you!
47:11I love you!
47:17I love you!
47:31I love you!
47:36Single retreat.
47:42Hold on! Retreat!
47:48Retreating! They're retreating!
48:06Retreat!
48:36Retreat!
48:51My king.
48:56The Philistine forge is no more.
48:58Burned to the ground as promised.
49:01But we suffered many losses.
49:03Because they knew we were coming.
49:05Someone in this house has betrayed us.
49:08And the Philistines?
49:10Did you slay one hundred as I commanded?
49:13No.
49:17I slayed two hundred.
49:20It is true.
49:22I will have Michal's hand in marriage.
49:26And I expect your announcement tomorrow.
49:29It will be done.
49:31As promised.
49:35Where is my wife?
49:48Where is my wife?
49:50Where is my wife?
49:51Where is my wife?
49:53David?
50:03David?
50:10David?
50:11David?
50:13What happened?
50:14What happened?
50:18Yvonne, Yvonne, marry me.
50:27Yes, yes.
50:44The plan was sound.
50:51You have made him more powerful than ever.
50:53No, you have done that yourself.
50:56Despite my warnings.
50:58I see it now.
51:01It is so clear to me.
51:05You are my curse.
51:09Everything I have done, I have done for you.
51:14I brought a priestess into our home to save you.
51:19I banished my own son to protect you.
51:23You are a vile woman.
51:25Your every word is darkness!
51:28And you are a weak and insecure man
51:31who needs a servant girl to make him feel like a king.
51:34May God forgive me forever listening to a single word you have said!
51:39God.
51:42You don't worship God.
51:45You worship yourself.
51:47And we are the ones judged for it.
51:50I see why you cling to that shepherd boy.
51:53Because deep in your heart you know the truth.
51:56The same truth that Samuel spoke.
51:59The words that made the king of Israel cower and sob in his bed.
52:05You ask why I put the crown on Eshbal's head?
52:10That is why.
52:12Your reign is over.
52:15So?
52:18God has given up on you.
52:20I know!
52:26Say unto the king.
52:30Get away from me!
52:35Mother?
52:37Come here outside!
52:38I want you out of my face!
52:39I want you out of my face!
52:41Stop it, fuck! Stop it, fuck.
52:43Stop it! Stop it, fuck!
52:44Stop it! Stop it, fuck!
52:45Get away from me!
52:47Get away from me!
52:49I want you out!
52:51Out! Out of my life!
52:53You are my...
52:55Stop it! Stop it!
52:57Stop it!
52:59I want you out of this house!
53:03All is over!
53:17You have blasphemed against God!
53:27And disgraced my kingdom!
53:31You are banished!
53:47Now you know how it feels.
54:05To be betrayed by those who claim to love you.
54:11Never buyer be with you!
54:13Your love isn't medical!
54:15Yes!
54:17Give me my heart!
54:19They're gonna fly short.
54:21I want you to have a fear.
54:23I want you to have a carefree Seloy!
54:31Desktop and the ultimate blessing.
54:33I am done the best way.
54:35I never want you to work.
54:37I love you!
