Saul's army returns to Gibeah in triumph, but behind palace walls secrets stir and alliances shift. David, celebrated as the “giant slayer,” begins to capture the hearts of the people while deepening his bond with Jonathan. Ahinoam maneuvers for power, Mirab feels torn between family and love, and alliances begin to shift in ways that will shape Israel’s fragile future.

00:12FIGHT WITH ME!
00:21Tell David I'm sorry I doubted you
00:25You have been planning the takeover of my throne
00:29This offer of marriage is over
00:38You and I are the only two of our line who will survive
00:41We are Israel's only hope
00:42You must crown me king
00:46They're running away
00:49VICTORY!
00:51Die and slay it!
00:53Father there is no one more worthy for us to honor
00:56My sword is now yours
00:59Thank you
01:00Gods, arrest the seer
01:02This is finished Samuel
01:04No Saul
01:07It is just beginning
01:16History will tell you that the House of Saul was defeated by his enemies
01:20Others will tell you that there was never supposed to be a king in Israel
01:26And for this reason God forsook him
01:31But I will tell you that the House divided against itself cannot stand
01:38And my father was not defeated from without
01:42He was overthrown from within
01:45From the one closest to him
01:48One he trusted
01:49The one I loved
01:50The one I loved
01:58Avner
01:59What troubles him?
02:00There are many things that trouble the king
02:03I'm sure seeing you will remedy them
02:04I'm sure seeing you will remedy them
02:14It is you, isn't it?
02:27It is you, isn't it?
02:35My king
02:39I loved you
02:42Trusted you

03:12Speak the truth
03:16That some will choose you

04:56Sol, son of Kish, returning to you victorious in battle.
05:17They keep this between us for now.
05:24I understand.
05:27And mother, he will too.
05:31We did this out of necessity.
05:35It will be shock enough for him to see a return from exile.
05:39Now I will decide when it's best to tell him.
05:43Only a stream!
05:45And he's playing the mighty giant with a single stone!
05:58Now, there are any doubts if God is still with us.
06:03Let this be a message to us all.
06:06God has given us the victory!

12:09the
12:11I don't have to speak, great one, but at least eat.
12:33I am nourished by the Lord God.
12:37Samuel, you have betrayed the king.
12:39An act, as you know, is punishable by death.
12:42But Saul is feeling generous after our victory, and so I've come here with this offer.
12:50The Day of Atonement is coming.
12:53He will be there, as always, beside Saul, at the tabernacle, and he will anoint him again
12:58in front of all the priests and all of Israel.
13:04Avner, son of Endor.
13:10You were born into darkness, were you not?
13:16I've renounced that place.
13:18I would have thought watching your mother consumed by darkness would be warning enough for the house you serve.
13:27I did warn her.
13:28What we allow, we become.
13:34Warn them again.
13:37For the darkness that has consumed Saul will consume you as well.
13:43Sure.
13:52Oh, it's just amazing.
13:55Yeah.
13:56We'll stay here.
13:57Oh, Ok weight, go away.
13:59Ah.
14:00Ah.
14:01Ah.

14:09Ah.
14:09I'm Prince.
14:39I will wake the queen right away.
14:46No.
14:47Do not tell my family.
14:49My father is finally stable.
14:51I want to be the one to trouble him.
14:53Let me see.
14:55I know of a healer.
15:01He's in the hills of Iber.
15:03I was often injured before I served your family.
15:08He saved me from death more than once.
15:15Take me there.
15:19Take me there.
15:25Take me there.
15:29Take me there.
15:40Take me there.
15:46Take me there.
15:53Take me there.
15:59Take me there.
16:06Take me there.
16:12Take me there.
16:19Take me there.
16:33I say to the Lord,
16:38I say to the Lord,
16:43I say to the Lord,
17:03I say to the Lord,
17:07But I say to the Lord.
17:29My King,
17:32Or some of our daughters arrived.
17:45Dagenor.
17:47Be thankful you still have a throne to sit on.
17:53Throwing away the lives of so many men has consequences.
17:58We all grieved the loss of your father. He was a good king.
18:01Was he?
18:03We have more important losses to grieve.
18:06We should have defeated them.
18:09Your plan was flawed, Akish.
18:12I had giants.
18:15That you hid behind. And it cost us everything.
18:20Have you come here looking for a fight?
18:24I've come...
18:28...to make a point.
18:29Azor.
18:31Then you should make it.
18:37Then you should make it.
18:38Then you should make it.
18:39in connection with his little rock.
18:42That's scary.
18:46Again назыв prohibitive masterpiece.
18:48You're loser.
18:49Los, Rossos, are you?
18:52You're worth it.
18:54Fucking unit.
18:56How do you search?
19:00What is a crucifix?
19:01you had the right idea you just use the wrong weapon
19:13look at the blade
19:31not a mark the key to defeating the Hebrews was never the size or strength
19:39of your giant it was the sword in his hand we are no longer in the age of bronze
19:45victory now hinges on the forging of iron when you created that sword for Goliath
19:51you didn't fully understand what you had made
19:55imagine philistine army with every man wielding a weapon like this
20:03none could stand against us
20:05that is my point
20:08you'll find it awake
20:27let's look at the Goliathine
20:32worse than last night
20:37frankincense
20:41may I ask your name
20:43I'm Hiram
20:45that's Sarah my granddaughter and my assistant
20:48she used to follow me around all day when she was a girl
20:52asking questions about the body
20:54why does this do this and that do that
20:58very annoying
21:00we let this sit and wait
21:03clean the wound and bandages
21:06don't worry she's very good
21:11would you mind if I took a closer look I'm worried my grandfather might have missed something
21:15if you think it's best I do
21:18where is Kezia
21:20shall you turn to the palace
21:23what is your opinion
21:32I believe a piece of the arrowhead is still lodged inside you
21:40this would hurt
21:43if it stays inside you the poison will spread and
21:49you will die
21:52soon
21:56soon
21:59so what do you feel should be done
22:03this is a tool I've been experimenting with
22:16you want to stick that inside me
22:18it's not as bad as it looks
22:19the prongs will grip the arrow
22:21and then I pull it out
22:23is it what before
22:24well
22:26I've never tried it on a human before
22:30Jonathan
22:36you have no reason to trust me
22:39but I've spent years perfecting this tool
22:42after my brother died of a narrow wound like this
22:45it's your life
22:48I believe I can save it if you let me try
22:51do it
22:55alright
22:57no

24:00and I
24:01I am left haunted
24:06to tell their families that their beloved will never return
24:11of all the wounds I bear from all the battles I have fought none scarred me so much as this
24:22and this time
24:26it is our family who grieves
24:32his last words were for you David
24:43he was proud of you
24:47as am I

24:56as am I
25:01I live
25:02there are things I must tell you
25:03What is this?
25:28Go off.
25:30What business do you have with us?
25:32We are in mourning.
25:33I'm sorry, Jesse, but we've come to escort David back to the palace.
25:39Escort?
25:41I don't understand.
25:44You haven't told them?
25:46Told us what?
25:50King Sol has made your son a royal commander of a thousand men, including me.
25:56You as well, Eliab.
26:00Eliab?
26:01No.
26:01Eliab.
26:05Eliab, listen.
26:06Stop.
26:07Stop!
26:07Eliab, your commander is giving an order.
26:10Let him make me stop.
26:11Eliab!
26:12Yoav, it's all right.
26:14Eliab, wait.
26:15Listen to me.
26:17Eliab.
26:19Eliab, let me talk to you.
26:20As you rise, we fall.
26:25Right, little brother?
26:26I did not choose this.
26:28And yet you embrace it.
26:29I am doing what disaster means.
26:31I have struggled for years to free our family from the burden that you have brought on us.
26:35I know.
26:36So let me do my part.
26:41Why can you not accept that?
26:43Why?
26:46You want to know why?
26:48Eliab.
26:53That is why.
27:00You're a leader.
27:03Get up.
27:04Look at him.
27:07Our great commander.
27:10I'm just trying to...
27:11Eliab!
27:13You want to be a leader?
27:15Stand up and fight me.
27:18What are you going to do without your sling, giant slayer?
27:27Eliab?
27:28I'm sorry.
27:29I want to...
27:30David, stay down.
27:53You have stopped him.
27:55Come on.
27:56Command me now, little brother.
27:57Command me now.
28:00Eliab!
28:07You are no warrior.
28:09You are just a boy who had one lucky shot.
28:12We buried our brother today.
28:15And with you in command, we will bury thousands more.
28:18So no, I will not follow you.
28:22Eliab.
28:24That is enough.
28:26Leave him.
28:27No.
28:27Go.
28:36Go.
28:49Go.
28:50I don't know.
29:20Go ahead.
29:26Do what you need to do.
29:33Ready?
29:40Breathe.
29:40Good.
29:42Good.
29:43Tell me about Naomi.
29:46You kept saying her name, Leslie.
29:48Jonathan, tell me about her.
29:55She had my heart.
29:59I was only 20.
30:03Victorious in my first battle at Mi'kmaq.
30:09But while I was gone, the sickness ravaged her entire family.
30:14When I returned home, I found they'd already buried her.
30:24I've always carried the guilt that I wasn't there with her.
30:31I'm sorry.
30:33I must go again.
30:35I feel something.
30:53I feel something.
30:55After the night.
31:11Yet I'll be a child.
31:21I worry for you, I know.
31:24Why?
31:26I am not the one bound and alone.
31:29Are you not?
31:33I didn't come here to argue.
31:35Then why are you here?
31:48Samuel.
31:49How we...
31:55Saul has redeemed himself.
31:57A great victory.
32:00Amends have been made.
32:04May God not see that.
32:06He sees all.
32:10To the very core.
32:12Of who we are.
32:14Just because there is a great victory without does not mean there is one within.
32:21Are you saying Saul hasn't changed?
32:23I'm not saying anything at all that is not my function.
32:29My function.
32:36When I was young.
32:40A terrible storm hit our village.
32:43My sweet sister.
32:48We found her by the river bank.
32:52Washed her by the flood.
32:54No sign of life.
32:56And so...
32:58I prayed.
33:00I...
33:02I prayed.
33:04I prayed.
33:08I...
33:10I prayed.
33:16And then the miracle she cast and came back from the dead.
33:22If God...
33:28Can do that.
33:30Take someone.
33:36Give them back.
33:38Surely he can undo this.
33:44He can.
33:45But he has not.
34:13Israel.
34:15Eh...
34:16I will come back later.
34:17No.
34:18What?
34:20You want to play hounds and jackals?
34:26Sure.
34:28Why not?
34:32You want wine?
34:34No.
34:35No.
34:36It clouds the senses.
34:38You wish.
34:41What happened to you?
34:48I will tell you.
34:50All.
34:51Meraf.
34:53I just need time.
34:58At least tell me this.
35:00Will my rebellious brother ever return?
35:02Rebellion takes many forms.
35:04Ugh. Fun, brother, then?
35:06It's been dreadfully dull without you.
35:11I'm still here, Rav.
35:16Now go.
35:18It's your move.
35:22So, I hear father ripped a wedding from you.
35:29That's right.
35:30Jordan from Judah.
35:31Really.
35:33He's not so bad.
35:35No?
35:36Was Rav in love?
35:38No, I was not in love.
35:40I didn't know him.
35:45But I did like him.
35:49And you know, it was nice for a moment
35:52to imagine a life
35:55and a decent man
35:58perhaps
35:59perhaps
36:00be happy.
36:01Happy?
36:04You.
36:06Right.
36:07I should have known better.
36:09None of it was meant for me.
36:11It was for Michal.
36:12Perhaps for good reason.
36:14She is wonderful.
36:15She is wonderful.
36:17And I always manage to ruin everything.
36:21That's what I'm known for.
36:25Why do you do that?
36:26Why do you put yourself down?
36:31Maybe Jonathan and Michal get everything they want
36:33because they believe they deserve it.
36:35while you and I have remained shackled by our belief
36:37that we are forever unworthy.
36:41We are worthy.
36:43Mira, we always have been.
36:45And if you truly believe that,
36:48what would you ask for?
36:49What would you ask for?
36:57Zania.
37:00How I have waited for this moment.
37:04Who are you?
37:06Who am I?
37:07I am Doeg
37:12and Edomai.
37:15But you are no stranger to me.
37:18I've been tasked to discover the name of the Anointed One.
37:23Even if it takes your life as it did.
37:27Your apprentice.
37:30What was his name?
37:32Your apprentice?
37:34I only remember his screams.
37:40Selas was his name.
37:43Selas.
37:45Tell me.
37:46Is it true you've never cut your hair?
37:49That it is somehow sacred to your God?
37:55Perhaps we should start there.
38:00There is another name.
38:02Hmm?
38:04Another name you dream of often.
38:10Timna.
38:16What?
38:18What did you say?
38:20Timna.
38:22Your mother's name.
38:24You see,
38:25you are not so unknown
38:28to me and
38:30to God
38:31as you think
38:33when your
38:35mother,
38:37Timna,
38:38died by your father's hand.
38:42You coward,
38:44did you not?
38:46beneath the stairs.
38:47How would you know that?
38:52Uh-huh.
38:54And afterward,
38:56you felt something else, didn't you?
38:58You felt curiosity that still burns.
39:01It burns within you.
39:04And thus,
39:06began your obsession with death.
39:08With death.
39:11God?
39:13He could have lifted you from that dark place,
39:15but you renounced him
39:16and you turned to even deeper shadows
39:20and saw
39:22Doag,
39:24son of Timna,
39:27Edomai.
39:28You're mine.
39:32Allow me to help you.
39:36Where am I?
39:47What is this place?
39:49You are trapped in the death
39:51you brought to so many others.
39:52And then,
39:55God has given us the victory.
39:58And blessed us
40:00with a new son
40:01and champion.
40:03A simple shepherd.
40:05Just as I was.
40:07Yes.
40:09A great victory.
40:11A simple shepherd.
40:13Just as I was.
40:16Yes.
40:20A great victory.
40:23But do you really think
40:25David is capable
40:27of commanding an army?
40:29It is wise to use David
40:30to unite our people.
40:32They love him.
40:34He inspires them.
40:36He inspires me.
40:37You inspire them.
40:43You.
40:47Perhaps
40:49it is wise to wait.
40:51Wait?
40:53With a wedding announcement.
40:55Give David more time to
40:57better prove himself.
40:59Prove himself?
41:01More so than
41:03killing a giant?
41:06We were ready to marry Michalov
41:08to one of Adriel's boys
41:10without proving themselves.
41:13Adriel is a powerful leader
41:16and a necessary alliance.
41:18David is...
41:20the bastard child
41:23of a commoner.
41:24Noam.
41:26I have made my decision.
41:28Why must you challenge me?
41:34We don't need any more wine.
41:37Leave us.
41:38You don't believe in David.
41:48You do not believe in me.
41:50Of course I believe in you.
41:51Come.
41:52Sit with me.
41:53My king.
41:54There's something you need to see.
41:55What is it, Amna?
41:56Please, come.
41:58He is not responding to anyone.
41:59What is it, Amna?
42:00He is not responding to anyone.
42:02I fear he is trapped as you were.
42:04I fear he is trapped as you were.
42:06You do not believe in me.
42:08You do not believe in me.
42:09Of course I believe in you.
42:11Come.
42:13Sit with me.
42:15My king.
42:17There's something you need to see.
42:18What is it, Amna?
42:20Please, come.
42:22He is not responding to anyone.
42:26I fear he is trapped as you were.
42:33And Samuel.
42:35Gone.
42:37What fool order do I make to threaten the prophet?
42:41And why was I not made aware of this?
42:46I was hoping the threat wouldn't be necessary.
42:49Better to keep your hands clean of it.
42:52Find Samuel at once.
42:54At once.
43:09David.
43:11Don't worry.
43:13I'm sure his hands look more than your face.
43:18Hey, love, is there something you want to say to your brother?
43:21That's Jonathan's sword.
43:22Yes.
43:25He gave it to me.
43:33Ava.
43:39Take care of those sheep for me.
43:41And Saba, too.
43:43Promise.
43:52When will you return?
43:55I've been claimed into the king's family.
44:01So, not for a while.
44:04I'm going to marry Princess Michal.
44:06I think that through our reunion, I will find my way to the throne in peace.
44:13I hope you are right.
44:15David.
44:17I never believed Israel should have a king.
44:20But, if it is indeed God's will, I am glad it will be you.
44:25Promise me.
44:26You will stay safe.
44:27The Lord is with me.
44:28The Lord is with you.
44:29The Lord is with you.
44:31Ready, Commander?
44:32Yes.
44:34I'm still getting used to that.
44:35Goodbye, Father.
44:36Commander David.
44:37Sounds good.
44:38David.
44:40Ah, that is your horse.
44:41Mm-hmm.
44:42That is your horse.
44:43Mm-hmm.
44:44Mm-hmm.
44:45I have the feeling your new command is going to bring me the attention on many fine ladies.
44:47Do you want to take a seat?
44:48Yes.
44:49Ready, Commander?
44:50Yes.
44:51Ready, Commander?
44:52Yes.
44:55I'm still getting used to that.
44:56Goodbye, Father.
45:00Commander David.
45:01Sounds good.
45:03David.
45:05Ah, that is your horse.
45:07Mm-hmm.
45:09I have the feeling your new command is going to bring me the attention on many fine ladies.
45:13Do you want to ride back?
45:14Ah, if you're offering.
45:15No.
45:17We would rather walk.
45:24Let's go.
45:32No.
45:39You want to walk?
45:40Yes, I want to walk.
45:43There.
46:00That's what I wanted to be.
46:02Did I get this?
46:03Yes, I'm going to walk five.
46:04You're rough.
46:33An unexpected surprise.
46:37I couldn't sleep.
46:38You are my daughter indeed.
46:41Come, sit.
46:50You want wine?
46:53It clouds the senses.
46:55Yes, isn't that the point?
46:59What is bothering you?
47:02Nightmares of the battle?
47:05No, I...
47:10When you tore a life away from me, a marriage, it was truly painful.
47:23I thought you saw how happy I was.
47:29My sweet...
47:31You know...
47:33I was not myself.
47:35I know.
47:36And that is why I have something to ask of you.
47:45There is a way in which I could serve this kingdom.
47:49And this house...
47:51Your house, my king.
47:55I can't find the king of the ground.
48:07I can't find the god of Israel.
48:11You know who might be nuts.
48:13And this house...
48:17That's not more evil.
48:19Now, A dying map of God...
48:21I can't see you at this house.
48:23See you, our king is the king.
48:25The sword, I fear it is cursed.
48:49I do not want it near the king.
48:51You take it to Nob.
48:53You hide it with the other sacred objects, yes?
48:57Yes, Commander.
48:59You tell Nob.
49:02Go on.
49:23Hello, Father.
49:30Hello, my son.
49:32What is this?
49:33This is something which is not supposed to be seen.
49:36Good morning.
50:03You look so much better.
50:07Hey.
50:09How are you feeling, brother?
50:14What are you doing here?
50:16Kezia was concerned.
50:17Don't worry.
50:19I will keep your secret.
50:21Ishbal sat by your side all night, waiting for your fever to break.
50:26Perhaps he was just waiting for me to die.
50:29See, I told you.
50:31He'll never trust me.
50:31Did my brother charm you all night?
50:36He's good at that.
50:37He only spoke of you.
50:40How much you've done for your family.
50:45I should be getting back to the palace.
50:47Slowly.
50:50Fine.
50:52Stay here.
50:52Thank you for saving my life.
51:05And, uh...
51:08For your company.
51:09It's clear you're not fully recovered.
51:19Perhaps, Zahra, you should return with us to the palace as the prince's personal healer.
51:25I don't know if...
51:26I would appreciate your care and expertise.
51:32I'm sorry, but this is my home.
51:35I'm needed here.
51:38Of course.
51:40I'll fetch you some supplies.
51:42Well, I had to try.
51:51I'm just happy to see you look at a woman again.
51:53Mmm.
51:53Mmm.
51:54Mmm.
51:54Mmm.
52:11Thank you so much.
52:13Thank you so much.
52:15Stand back.
52:31Stand back.
52:33Stand back.
52:34You all right?
52:37My father's gathered everyone in the swim room.
52:40Special announcement.
52:43Come.
52:45Stand back.
53:13My king.
53:14I thank you for allowing me to return home and grieve my brother.
53:19David, I'm glad to have you back.
53:23Are you ready now to commit to this house?
53:26To being a commander of men?
53:28To dedicating your very life in service of your king?
53:32I know in my heart, my place is here.
53:41I accept your vow.
53:48And as a gift, I offer you my beautiful daughter in marriage, Miraf.
