00:03I'll start with a question, can people change, can they rise above their nature, life has
00:13taught me, we emerged through fire, we transformed through suffering, let me tell you my story
00:30You are Eshbaal, prince of Israel, banished to handle it by his own family, yes?
00:40Yes, good
00:49Are you coming?
01:18If you plan to ransom me, I have disappointing news, I hold no value in my father's eyes
01:24Perhaps, I see much more than he does, come my friend, we have no need for conflict
01:34I am no friend of yours, or your gods, you will learn, in time
01:54Do as you are told, and I'll spare you the whip
02:00That's not a trick
02:02Have your fill
02:14Tell me, prince
02:16Have you ever seen an elephant?
02:22What do you want of me?
02:24Enormous, powerful creatures, but easy to tame
02:30When they are young, you simply have to tie them to a pole by a rope
02:35No matter how much they try, they cannot break their restraint
02:40They resist the fight, but in time, they give up
02:49One's grown, massive beast can be tied to the same pole by a simple string
02:58Because it thinks of itself what it has been taught to believe
03:06Power begins in the mind, not in the body
03:13What do you want of me?
03:17You will suffer until you understand who you really are
03:33No more
03:36I'll do anything
03:41Please
03:50Remove his bitings, he is of no threat anymore
04:02Sit down
04:10Drink
04:11Drink
04:11Drink
04:31Why do you show me mercy now?
04:36Like the elephant, Ishval
04:40You ceased resisting the rope that held you back
04:45You became compliant
04:47Allowing lesser men
04:49To choose your fate
04:52But now
04:56It's time for you to decide your path
05:03To decide for yourself
05:08I am loyal to the house of my father
05:10Saul, son of Kish
05:12Servant to Nata
05:19I didn't break, father
05:22I killed my captors
05:24Freed the other prisoners
05:26And together we escaped
05:30It's quite the story, Ishbal
05:34I passed through the fire, father
05:37Do I not seem different to you?
05:40A man possesses substance by what he does, not what he says
05:45Then allow me to earn your trust
05:48With honesty
05:51Before you returned in triumph I was crowned king
05:53By mother
05:55We believed you had been defeated and killed
05:58That someone had to step up and lead to what was left of our people
06:00And so I did
06:01You took your opportunity
06:03To protect my queen and your legacy
06:05And yet neither of you spoke a word of it until now
06:10You think I didn't hear whispers about your coronation?
06:15There are no secrets that time does not betray, Ishbal
06:21Mother would have told you in time
06:25But I am telling you now
06:28I have made more mistakes in my life than I care to admit
06:31But I promise you
06:32I wish to redeem them all
06:36How so?
06:38The woman I defiled
06:40And was banished for
06:43I will marry her
06:45In accordance with the law of Moses
06:48Ease the burden on our family and the kingdom
06:51All for your glory
06:53My king
07:00David
07:01David
07:05I'm sorry
07:09I don't know why he would do that
07:11My father is just
07:11I know
07:14I don't know what to do now
07:16I know
07:17We cannot give up
07:23What are you reading?
07:25The story of Joseph
07:27It's my favorite
07:29Would you read it to me?
07:31Yes
07:32Yes
07:37And Joseph said to them
07:38Do not be afraid
07:43Am I in the place of God?
07:46You intended to harm me
07:48But the Lord used it for good
07:51To accomplish what is now being done
07:56It's beautiful
07:58These words
07:59These words
08:00They give me hope
08:03Hope
08:05You're welcome gift right now
08:07Have you spoken to me off?
08:09Not yet
08:10I need to speak with my father
08:13But
08:14I know too well how that will go
08:17Then let me speak to him
08:18You don't know him
08:20You don't know him
08:20Like I do David
08:21He's
08:22He's stubborn
08:23He doesn't listen
08:27Why is this so difficult?
08:31We will find a way
08:32It's like the world has conspired to hold us back
08:35It's constantly pushing us against the current
08:41Well then we
08:42We will keep swimming
08:45Or better yet
08:46We will change the course of the river altogether
08:49Michael
08:50The Lord helped me defeat the giant
08:54I'm sure you will help me speak to your father
08:56On my father
09:01He will not fall so easily
09:04What world, Avner?
09:06Samuel has escaped the city
09:07Must have had help to get beyond the walls
09:09We held Samuel captive
09:11To help him
09:12Remember the former days, yes
09:14I have scouts searching for him
09:16Anything more avert could have consequences
09:19The people revere him
09:20As do I
09:21That old snake will slither into the grass and bite his time
09:25Surely he'll show up at the tabernacle
09:26And there he will kiss my ring
09:28And if he refuses?
09:30No
09:31You cannot harm Samuel, father
09:34People would rise up
09:36My king
09:37Now is not the time, David
09:39What troubles have you come?
09:41There has been a great mistake
09:45I cannot marry Marav
09:47When it is Michal who I love
09:50She wants us to be together
09:51Surely her wishes matter
09:53And my choice is...
09:55Choice?
09:55Okay, you should go now
09:56No, no, no, Avner
09:57Let me tell you something about choice
10:00Men go to war and death
10:02When I order them to
10:04I feed my people or they starve
10:07They live free or are enslaved
10:09Because I choose one way or the other
10:12No one dares question the wisdom of my actions
10:16Who give you the right?
10:19I only ask
10:21How to reconsider
10:22Reconsider!
10:23All right
10:24All right
10:25That's enough
10:27The king's gratitude
10:29Is a cup not many get to drink from
10:32Pray or not choke on it
10:34Go
10:35Come on
10:44Can you believe him?
10:46Why would he do this?
10:47You know what he's like
10:48I'm sure he has his reasons
10:50What reasons?
10:51David loves me and I love him
10:53Father knows this
10:55There is no good reason why he would have David marry you
10:59We should go
11:00We should go and talk to him
11:02Together
11:03We can convince him
11:05Will you stop cleaning?
11:09Father has made up his mind
11:10No
11:11And I am the older sister
11:12So it does make sense
11:14Miraf
11:15Perhaps Father thinks you are too soft-hearted for David
11:18For what he needs to become
11:21Soft-hearted?
11:23No, relax
11:24I didn't mean to offend
11:26I'm sure you didn't either
11:29Right?
11:40I can not marry Miraf
11:42I will not
11:44David
11:45You can not let frustration destroy you
11:52See?
11:53Destroy you
12:00You are a new commander
12:02I'm David
12:03Yes, yes
12:04I know who you are
12:05It's an honor to serve under you
12:09Uriah
12:12Uriah?
12:13And I
12:14I'm Oaz
12:15Oaz
12:16Nice to meet both of you
12:18Thank you for the hand Uriah
12:19Don't you all have your teeth?
12:23There it is
12:26You're improving
12:27Am I?
12:28No
12:30I was disarmed and humiliated more than a few times when I was learning
12:34Yes, when you were a boy
12:36Not a commander
12:37We're all capable of becoming more
12:42Take up your sword
12:45Less sparring
12:46More footwork
12:49And balance
12:50You see?
12:53Soldier is not just brute force
12:56He's finesse
12:59You try
13:01Keep your weight low
13:03Your feet light
13:05With confidence
13:06You have to trust that you deserve this
13:08You see my father taught me long ago
13:11A leader must believe he is cut from that cloth
13:14Whether it started as fine silk or wool
13:17A king can be fashioned from either
13:23We told you to stop, keep moving
13:25Again
13:27Yes
13:27Let it flow
13:29Use your hips
13:30Strong
13:32Let's go
13:35Again
13:35Balance
13:36Nice
13:36Full
13:37Ah
13:40No
13:41No
13:41No
13:42No
13:43No
13:43No
13:47You ready?
13:49To move?
13:51Better
13:52No
13:54No
13:55No
13:56No
13:58No
13:59No
14:00Pointing towards your enemy always, nice.
14:04And forward on the same foot, come down.
14:37The boys are natural.
14:39They're here in the making.
14:41Yes.
14:43If he shines too bright, even a king may find himself blinded.
14:48I know what I'm doing.
14:52And yet, you invited Chaos into our home, our daughters.
14:58Why must you make these decisions without discussing with me first?
15:04You're right.
15:07Part of love is trust and honesty.
15:10A husband and wife should keep more secrets from each other.
15:15Do you agree?
15:22Who told you?
15:25Does it matter?
15:27I was meaning to tell you myself when the time was right.
15:31And yet you did not.
15:35I understand you did what you felt you had to.
15:38No.
15:43But admit it.
15:46You did grieve me a bit quickly.
15:50I never have to again.
15:51No.
15:52No.
15:53No.
16:04No.
16:09No.
16:20No.
16:25No.
16:27No.
16:28No.
16:29No.
16:30He summoned his father.
16:32There are many matters to be resolved.
16:34Not least is Ishbal's return.
16:36So how do we settle the dispute with Yair?
16:38Ishbal will wed Dina, the daughter of Yair of Daan.
16:44This was my decision.
16:46The law of Moses will be respected.
16:49The kingdom will be stronger for it.
16:51You and your men will escort your brother to negotiate.
16:54Be wise and respectful.
16:57Show Yair we take him seriously.
17:00David should lead.
17:03Yes, teach him.
17:05A leader of man is more than just a warrior.
17:08You must also be capable of crafting peace.
17:12Thank you, my king.
17:15You have your orders.
17:22You're really going to marry her?
17:24Thought you said she had a lumpy back?
17:26In truth, I don't remember.
17:32You have everything?
17:34Be safe.
17:42You may want to keep it close around him.
17:49Good luck in your little adventure.
17:52When you return, we can get to make arrangements.
17:56We can't let this father be the first to marry, can we?
18:00I must be going.
18:08Hello.
18:11came in here.
18:25My queen.
18:31my friend the king has been restored now is the time when magic and witchcraft
18:40must return to the shadows i'm afraid it is not safe we ought to remain here in
18:48despair so i am to be banished no no this is not the punishment i'm protecting both of us
18:58i owe you a debt of gratitude for your friendship and discretion
19:09if you ever need me again
19:13i will find you
19:24so
19:29so
20:03Oh, my God.
20:18Oh, my God.
20:51Your duties are with the princesses, see to those.
20:54Yes, my queen.
21:00I trust you've checked every corner for scorpions.
21:05Scorpions, my queen?
21:07Yes.
21:08Elusive little things.
21:10Crawling through the smallest crack.
21:14Hoping to catch their prey unaware.
21:17They must be careful to crush them.
21:20Before they can do any harm.
21:24You're hurting me.
21:37The people would celebrate a union between David and I, though, princess.
21:42Why can it not be me?
21:43Even in victory, there are still wolves at my door.
21:47I need the giant killer at my side.
21:50He is a symbol of God's faith in me.
21:52And I could make them happy.
21:54This is not about making him happy.
21:58This is about shaping him into the man I need him to become.
22:01To serve my will.
22:03But, Father...
22:04Michal, I love you with the light of a thousand stars.
22:11But your sister's right.
22:13She is the better choice.
22:17Did Merav ask you for this?
22:20She did.
22:22It is what best serves our nation.
22:26Michal!
22:33Mirav!
22:34Michal?
22:37It's not just men who climb ladders to reach their ambition.
22:43It's Betty's sisters too.
22:59How much further till then?
23:02Are you finding horse riding uncomfortable, brother?
23:05We could always arrange a donkey for you.
23:09Or you could just walk.
23:15Your brother does not hide his jealousy well.
23:19I didn't ask to be in command of him.
23:22I just want him to think I'm worthy.
23:25Well, if you seek it from those who won't give it...
23:29It says more about you than them.
23:36So, do you know how much further till then?
23:46Make way for the princes of Israel.
23:48Jonathan and Eshbar.
23:50In what cause?
23:52An audience with your lord, here of Dan.
23:58You won't find him at his court.
24:00He's in the woods beyond.
24:19No matter what happens, you won't lose your temper.
24:22When do I ever lose my temper, my dreams?
24:28I heard a little dog was on the loose again.
24:33Come to grovel at my feet.
24:35We are here on the orders of your king.
24:38The same king whose wife ordered her son into banishment for his sins against my house.
24:41Yet there he is.
24:43We only wish to talk.
24:45We're not talking.
24:46They're hunting.
24:48They're hunting.
24:48Hunting what?
24:50Wild boar.
24:52Boar is unclean.
24:54You invoke the law to me while standing beside your brother who broke it?
24:59Still, we don't eat it.
25:01But the Philistines do.
25:03And they have metal to trade for it, brother.
25:07I offer what you first requested.
25:10A union by marriage of our two houses.
25:16No.
25:17I am not interested in lifting your shame.
25:21Do not turn your back on your prince.
25:26Perhaps I can speak with Dina.
25:29Ask her thoughts.
25:31When do her thoughts matter?
25:33Dina, I think you have traveled many miles for nothing.
25:37Best be on your way.
25:44Are you the one they call the giant killer?
25:47Actually, it's a giant slayer.
25:50Yes.
25:51I am David.
25:52I wonder if you're as quick with a blade as you are with a sling.
25:57Only one way to find out.
25:59Join me.
26:00I will not hunt an unclean animal.
26:04Very well.
26:06But you walk, don't you?
26:11Come.
26:13Let's hunt.
26:19Quiet now.
26:21Boars are clever animals.
26:24Dangerous, too, when cornered.
26:27Much like the king.
26:31Let's go.
27:05Dead by my blade!
27:10Dina, we have royal company here to beg for your dainty hand.
27:21You don't remember me.
27:27The king has secured the great victory.
27:30The leaders who did not support him in his hour of need, they face consequences.
27:35Are you threatening me?
27:38We're handing you an opportunity.
27:40Marrying Eshbar and Dina could prove mutually beneficial.
27:47After a war, a king has debts.
27:49What better way to pay them than Dina, the wealthiest leader in all the land?
27:54And yet your mother disrespected me.
27:59Yeah, mistakes you regrets. I assure you.
28:04What of you, giant slayer?
28:07What wisdom do you have for me?
28:14You spoke of disrespect before.
28:17It is a feeling I know where.
28:20All my life, so many voices telling me I was less than who I know I am.
28:26But I chose to draw strength from their words and not be wounded by them.
28:31To rise above.
28:36Well said.
28:39You could reject the king's offer and gain nothing.
28:44Or you could show strength and see what there is to gain.
28:50Surely prophet heals many wounds.
28:57Spoken like a true man of commerce.
29:00I'll be careful.
29:02This one's more of a leader than he yet realizes.
29:24You're quite handy with that.
29:29For a woman.
29:30For anyone.
29:33Were you not joining in the celebration?
29:36It was your kill, after all.
29:38That's not how my father tells it.
29:46I am sorry, Dino.
29:51For all the shame I brought upon you.
29:55Careful, Eshba.
29:59I've already got it one pick today.
30:05I've heard the stories about how your father treats you.
30:09It wasn't the son you wanted.
30:12I'm the one enduring symbol of his failures.
30:16Well, that we share.
30:20Perhaps together we could change it.
30:23I'm not marrying you, Eshba, just so you can escape the love of Moses.
30:26It would be an escape for both of us.
30:29You don't like me.
30:31Fair enough.
30:32But marriage doesn't have to be for love.
30:35Oh.
30:36Whisper in my ears, my friends.
30:39Dino.
30:40Dino.
30:42I'm giving you the chance at freedom from this place.
30:47Take it.
30:57I will not birth you in air.
31:00And I want to stallion, along with the King's Grace, to go hunting as much as I like.
31:05Those are my terms.
31:08Of course.
31:17And Eshba, I want to pretend to love you.
31:24I don't have it in me.
31:27Avnil.
31:41Avnil.
31:47Has it come to this?
31:50Or still is another way.
31:53So you're just another knife for the King.
31:56A tool.
31:58For his aimless wrath.
32:01I swear enough.
32:02We are a king, Avnil.
32:05Blood means more than us.
32:09You used to be normal.
32:12Avnil.
32:13Please, Avnil.
32:18Get out of here.
32:19Get out of Israel.
32:21Say a word to no one.
32:23I will find you and I will kill you.
32:25Go!
32:28Bye, Avnil.
32:34técnico.
32:50Thanks, Efrain.
32:54I will kill you.
32:54There you are.
32:56I will kill you and I will kill you.
32:58You and I will kill you.
32:58Oh, my God.
33:15More wine.
33:40It appears there's no more for you to take, sister.
34:03I'll do this, thank you.
34:09Where is your father?
34:11I'm not sure.
34:22I wish I could make things easier for you.
34:25But, we all have obligations.
34:31Please, mother, I do not need one more person telling me to get over this.
34:36It's so much more than that.
34:38You saw your father before the battle?
34:40How far he has fallen.
34:43And part of his torment was of your making.
34:46Spells and witchcraft.
34:49No.
34:49They weren't even legal, but you're so fit to change that, didn't I?
34:55Why did you hear that?
34:56Achimelech.
34:57He goes.
34:59Leave us.
35:05You will never speak of this again to anyone.
35:10I know what you did, mother.
35:12And poor Achimelech was made to transcribe your sin.
35:18One day, you will know what it feels like to make terrible decisions in order to save the
35:27the ones you love.
35:29Do you care for this family?
35:34Of course I do.
35:36Then you will respect your father's decision and let this go.
36:01Well handled, David.
36:05Yeah, it would have turned us away, but for you…
36:07I only told him the truth.
36:09No.
36:10No, you offered him an alternative.
36:12Found a middle path.
36:13I suppose I learned it from my mother.
36:15She was a woman of patience.
36:17Perhaps.
36:18But you have something that cannot be taught.
36:22Conviction.
36:24You see, soldiers, they'll follow orders without respecting their leader.
36:28But if you can convince them that you would just as willingly die in their cause as you
36:32would your own, those men would follow you into the fires of hell.
36:54I thought I was being called to breakfast, just the two of us.
36:59Didn't we agree on our secrets?
37:02And yet, you took my signature ring from my finger while I suffered, changed my law,
37:07without consent.
37:14I had no other choice.
37:16I was protecting you.
37:19I told you not to lie to me.
37:21And yet here we are again.
37:24You were foolish to assume someone wouldn't reveal the truth to me.
37:32A scorpion after all.
37:39Sorry.
37:45I made a mistake.
37:48It pains me.
37:49You will not accompany me and our family to the tabernacle.
37:55Instead, you will remain in the palace and consider how you wish to carry on.
38:02All the dangers I face, I never believed you would be one of them.
38:08as of the place, I never believed you were able to keep put put an end to another scene,

50:16the ruthless warrior
50:20I am here for the King.
50:21And what business do you have with the King?
50:24I offer information in exchange for his grace. Now, step aside.
50:32You attempted a mutiny on the battlefield. Traitor.
50:37Whatever you have to say to the King, you will first say to me.
50:51My King!
50:53Adriel brings important news.
50:56My King! Please, I kneel at your feet to beg of your mercy.
51:06My King.
51:25Please, you know well the punishment for traitors.
51:29But what if I had information that would prove my loyalty?
51:32Information of what kind?
51:35I saw Samuel come to Bethlehem. I know which house he visited.
51:43My King.
51:46I know who he anointed.
