00:10To be continued...
00:30...flourish like a palm tree.
00:35They will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.
00:43Planted in the house of the Lord.
00:49They will flourish in the courts of our God.
01:06By this, I know that you are pleased with me.
01:14Because my enemies do not triumph over me.
01:31Do not let them triumph over me.
01:40Ah, the great warrior.
01:44Jonathan.
01:45That's still writing your poetry.
01:48See, I've just gone by too quickly.
01:51Look at you.
01:52All this time.
01:54Still can't grow a beard, huh?
01:55I've been trying.
01:58Hello.
01:59How have you been?
02:00Tired, hearing of your many victories.
02:03Perhaps I could lose a few to eat your birdie.
02:05How is she?
02:07Michal.
02:11Destructing herself as much as she can.
02:15She teaches children now.
02:16Yes.
02:20A house divided can be, well, an unpleasant place.
02:26What a concern.
02:28Still think about her.
02:30Even after all this time.
02:35But her heart is bound by the loss of her brother.
02:39She cannot release it.
02:43The pain behind us, it often blocks the joy ahead.
02:50So what could be done?
02:54We look forward.
02:59Amos!
03:10Shields in the center, now!
03:15Where did they go from?
03:16One side!
03:17Answers only!
03:19They'll hate your brother!
03:24You keep the other one, I'm covered.
03:31Stay down!
03:33Amos!
03:37Get off me!
03:38Protect David!
03:44Boop!
03:45Boop!
03:46Get off me!
03:47Ah.
03:48Oh god!
03:51Ooh!
04:07Ha!
04:08Oh!
04:09Hienst!
04:31Take this sword!
04:35Jonathan!
05:04Take this sword!
05:16What was that?
05:30Raise your sword.
05:40Light as a feather. Yet still so strong.
05:45That was my sword. Are you going to replace it? Search the dead yourself.
05:51I do not defy my wonders again.
05:55Then do not tell me what to do.
06:00Look at this.
06:05More charcoal.
06:06Yes. More charcoal that will not make it back to a Philistine forge.
06:10These are demon swords.
06:13David, do you think these swords are cursed?
06:16No, I do not.
06:18Good.
06:20Every time we face these weapons, they are stronger and lighter.
06:24Follow Philistia, are armed with these.
06:27God is able.
06:30Plus I have held one far more perfect than this.
06:45It's difficult.
06:47I know.
06:48But it's important.
06:54Writing.
06:56Writing is how we remember what came before us.
07:00Like the great stories of Jacob, Moses and Noah.
07:06Who knows, maybe one day you will write down such a story.
07:10I would write the story of David, the giant killer.
07:17That would be a very good one.
07:22But I wonder how it ends.
07:35I wonder how it ends.
07:59It has been time enough.
08:03When will you forgive me?
08:06It is you who abandoned our bed.
08:11Do you have something to say?
08:17Surely you wouldn't have come all the way to this side of the palace if you didn't.
08:29It is your name they should be chanting.
08:32And your son after you.
08:35They are chanting my name.
08:38I have killed my thousands.
08:40David has tens of thousands.
08:42Yes, David.
08:46David.
08:50David.
08:52They will crown our boy today if they could.
08:57He has driven your daughters apart.
09:00And now he eclipses you in the eyes of your people.
09:04He is the threat.
09:06Why do you refuse to see it?
09:07Enough.
09:10Your suspicion is a poison to me and everyone in this palace.
09:14My suspicion is a shield to you and your throne.
09:19The sooner you realize that the better.
09:26David.
09:28David.
09:32David.
09:33David.
09:33David.
09:34Our hero returns.
09:37More victories, I'm told.
09:40We have much to discuss.
09:43We are badly in need of a wedding plan.
09:45Yes, but another time,
09:47because I would love to take my rest.
09:49Yes, of course.
09:50Of course.
10:05It's time to stop fighting over charcoal.
10:08Start forging our own swords to match these.
10:11It must require a great deal of heat
10:13to forge weapons of this quality.
10:16Philistines will never sacrifice so many lives
10:18raiding our coal mines otherwise.
10:24David swears Goliath's blade is even stronger.
10:29If we're to stand any chance at all,
10:30we need that weapon.
10:32The knowledge behind it.
10:34Do you know what became of it?
11:06Greetings, Lord Commander.
11:08What are you doing in the city of the priests?
11:11You're holding something here.
11:13Something brought here by your father.
11:15I need to see it.
11:17He instructed I reveal it in no one.
11:19So I instructed him.
11:45I've been trying to cipher what is edged on it.
11:47Philistine markings?
11:49Mostly.
11:51But some are much older.
11:53Egyptian, I believe.
11:56God...
11:57Swords?
11:58Perhaps God and Swords?
12:01No.
12:02No, God of Swords.
12:07It's a signature.
12:08I'm not sure.
12:39Not bad, it got better.
12:51Good.
12:52There's the lion.
12:59Can I ask you something?
13:03What does it feel like?
13:07To be anointed?
13:09Like Joshua, Samson, where my father was?
13:14Yes, your father is anointed.
13:18No, you don't have to explain.
13:20You speak the truth to me.
13:22What does it feel like?
13:30Powerful, like fire, or a rushing wind.
13:40I become more of something.
13:45Everything I feel is amplified.
13:47Passion, joy, even rage.
13:54It frightens me.
13:58I fear I may lose control.
14:02I cannot speak of it to anyone.
14:04Except maybe you know.
14:07No one understands.
14:09I don't understand.
14:13Sometimes I feel that
14:16to be anointed
14:19is to be alone.
14:23You're not alone, David.
14:31I'm sorry to throw one past you
14:33as it should have.
14:34I'm sorry to throw one past you.
14:34I'm sorry to throw one past you.
14:39I'm sorry to throw one past you.
14:54Hello, Princess.
14:58David.
14:59I heard you were teaching children how to read, as you once taught me.
15:05You know how I love words.
15:09I miss hearing you sing them.
15:12So often I would sit at this very balcony listening to your morning prayers.
15:18Your sister compares it to a rooster.
15:20Yes, well, she does like her sleep.
15:26I have a gift for you.
15:34I begin writing out songs, although sometimes I feel the words are from...
15:40God himself?
15:42Yes.
15:46I wanted you to have this.
15:58The Lord is my shepherd.
16:02And I shall not be in need.
16:06He makes me lie down in green pastures.
16:11He leads me by still waters.
16:15He restores my soul.
16:24It's beautiful, David.
16:26I thought I would write it about a shepherd.
16:28It is what I know.
16:35And will you write a love song for my sister?
16:38No.
16:40I only write what is true.
16:46My wounds...
16:47They're still healing.
16:50I do not wish to reopen them.
16:52It was good to see you.
16:55Commander.
16:58I pray, Zadonai, you're safe.
17:22You're avoiding me.
17:24You know, the Philistines have no interest in our marriage, blissful or otherwise.
17:28There are more battles I must fight to be worthy of this.
17:31Stop, David.
17:32You are delaying.
17:33You're making excuses.
17:34You've been gone for many seasons defending against our enemies.
17:37I've waited long enough.
17:39Look.
17:41I understand you still have feelings for my sister.
17:44I see it.
17:46But Michal has moved on.
17:48She's happier.
17:49She's on her own path.
17:51And you...
17:53You are a bold enough soldier to know you can't keep marching backwards.
17:58So the time has come to honor my father's wishes.
18:03A date must be set.
18:07Do you agree?
18:13I'm a servant of the canon.
18:17Perfect.
18:22When I was in Endor, there was a...
18:24There was a man there.
18:27Master metal forger.
18:30Called himself the God of Swords.
18:34Endor.
18:36Avner.
18:39Witches there, they would perform rituals on his weapons.
18:43But the true power came from his craftsmanship.
18:47I believe he has discovered an entirely new metal.
18:50One that would decimate even the finest bronze.
18:55My king, we need to find this man.
18:58I believe I can convince him to teach us how to force his weapons.
19:03My army would convince him.
19:04No.
19:05If our army marches on Endor, the man will disappear before we ever breach the city gates.
19:09This is not a joke for an army.
19:12But a handful of men.
19:14In that case, you should not be one of them.
19:18My king.
19:22So...
19:24No one else knows Endor as I do.
19:27Yes.
19:29That is my fear.
19:31It is a lawless, godforsaken place.
19:35And with your history there...
19:36I know.
19:39It's all in the past, Avner.
19:41It is all in my past.
19:45What murders now is the future.
19:48And in order to ensure it, we must find this god of souls.
20:11What seems so good.
20:12You got to catch me.
20:14You got to catch me.
20:16We were not alone.
20:17I was only there.
20:20I was there.
20:23This is enough.
20:27Oh.
20:28Yeah.
20:28Hm.
20:40Oh.
20:42Why are you looking at me?
20:45I've noticed.
20:48Lately you seem to be fighting more than the enemy.
20:51And who else would I be fighting?
20:54You wrestle with God, like Jacob and your stories.
20:57God?
20:59Yes.
21:02Yes, I would fight him if I could find him.
21:06Ah, dear.
21:07He's clearly with David.
21:14Why are we dressed like Martians, huh?
21:17I think it's time to see the spies.
21:20And is that a problem?
21:21Yes.
21:22I make a terrible spy.
21:33Okay.
21:34I just want to look after things here.
21:35Communicate where we want to sleep.
21:37Okay.
21:39I'll do this, I'll see you.
21:46What is it?
21:52I don't like that man.
21:54And I don't understand why your father trusts him.
21:57No way.
21:58No, we don't trust him.
22:00But he is useful.
22:01Any animal who attacks on your behalf will one day attack you.
22:06Hmm.
22:07I'm just...
22:08I'm worried.
22:10Oh.
22:11Are we doing that now?
22:12What?
22:14Worrying about each other.
22:16Sweet.
22:19Oh, what is this?
22:21Dinner.
22:22Not this.
22:23You look so happy.
22:25It's very upsetting.
22:27I hear you have happy news of your own.
22:29No.
22:29What is this?
22:31David and Miraf have set a wedding date.
22:43Congratulations.
23:03The city of Endor.
23:06Refuge for killers, renegades, deserters and criminals.
23:11Be on guard.
23:32Whatever you hear or see, take in stride.
23:35Do not show offense.
23:37We need to draw as little attention as possible.
23:50Look at me, Commander.
23:52What are we doing here?
23:54We are merchants from Sagon.
23:56Trying to make a fair profit on our wares.
24:00That's all you need to know and leave the talking to me.
24:37Avner.
24:39I heard you were dead, slain by Goliath at the Battle of Elah.
24:44What brings you back here, where no one wants to see you?
24:48I'm looking for a man.
24:50Blacksmith.
24:51The name of God of Swords.
24:54This is his maker's mark.
24:57A friend here.
24:59He knows every person and item of value within this city wants.
25:04He'd sell his own daughter for a silver shekel.
25:1025.
25:1175.
25:1250.
25:13And if you argue, you won't live the bargain again.
25:17I see you haven't changed, Avner.
25:20Lord Commander of Israel.
25:23Your mother must be so proud.
25:31Never mention my family again.
25:36Now take us to the God of Swords, and as you do, you will tell me everything you knew about
25:40him.
25:43Follow me.
25:55I remember when I chose my dress.
25:58The fabrics weren't as fancy.
26:01The feelings were softer than the finest silk.
26:09Are you sure this is what you want?
26:13Of course.
26:14Why wouldn't I?
26:16Marriage.
26:17For power.
26:19And status.
26:21Without emotion, can come at significant cost.
26:24You seem to be enduring it with ease.
26:26With ease?
26:27Hmm?
26:28Not with ease.
26:31You know, Mother.
26:33If I have learned anything from you, it's that love...
26:39...serves no purpose but to make one weak.
26:44I was never the lesson I intended to teach.
26:47Well, I was never that good at listening.
26:50I'm aware.
26:55I wanted to give you something.
27:07So you know that I am always with you.
27:13It's beautiful.
27:14You like it?
27:16I love it.
27:19I respect your decision.
27:23But if this is your choice, you must be hardened with resolve.
27:30You will never have the luxury of tears.
27:35Never.
27:36Never.
27:47And I do love you, Father.
27:50Still.
27:53Still.
28:08Tell me, my dear.
28:12How are my daughters?
28:16Have they made peace yet?
28:18They're finding their way, my king.
28:23No one can cause pain like your own family.
28:29Time heals every wound.
28:34Take those now, Vista.
28:45Take those now, Vista.
28:53The night is the night.
28:55The night is the night.
28:55Talk bomb burns the silver.
28:57And silver burns the gold.
28:59Brother, this is the greatest day of my life.
29:05Have a checker?
29:06No.
29:07The last time we gambled, you lost my horse.
29:09Brother.
29:09No worries.
29:10The serpents are hungry.
29:12To be conspicuous if we didn't.
29:14Thank you, brother.
29:15I've doubled your money.
29:16Play your bets now.
29:18I'm not giving that back, are you?
29:20Definitely not.
29:21Play your final bets and mind your distance.
29:26That's him.
29:28Release the serpents.
29:37Oh, yes.
29:38Oh, yes.
29:39Come on.
29:40Stop.
29:40No!
29:41No!
29:43Aye.
29:46You may be right a liar.
29:48I may be weak-minded.
29:51I would have bet on that one, too.
29:54No, you wouldn't.
30:00God of Swords.
30:01You've traveled a great distance to find you.
30:04Is that so?
30:08Perhaps you can help us.
30:09We hear you're even more skilled with magic and science.
30:14Are you sure you can afford this conversation?
30:17We'll pay your double.
30:18The Philistines paid for the Sword of the Giant.
30:21That is a fine sword.
30:23There is none like it.
30:26Indeed.
30:27Come with me.
30:37No!
30:38Yes, sir.
30:40Yes.
30:56Yes.
31:03Yes, sir.
31:06Come, you come, closer.
31:25Iron. The name itself means hardness and strength.
31:29Why is it so much stronger than bronze?
31:31It's skill. Higher levels of heat create stronger mantle.
31:40You're making hundreds of these. This unit requires a vast amount of fuel.
31:45Chaco.
31:48The Philistines worship their many gods. Our people worship one god.
31:55But I worship only this. This is what decides man's destiny.
32:04I want you to come with us to Geber.
32:07Teach us how to make these iron weapons with the thousands.
32:10Ha. I already escaped the Philistines because I wasn't interested in being locked in their dungeons.
32:17What makes you think I want to be locked in yours?
32:20Because I know this blade is not all you care about.
32:25Your daughter. I know she's an Edomite slave. I know her name.
32:34But, Sheva. She was taken from you to cover your debts.
32:41I know where you can find her.
32:44Return with us to Geber.
32:48Teach us how to make these weapons.
32:50Teach us.
32:52Then you'll get to see her face again.
33:06I have it.
33:07Teach us how to make these weapons.
33:08You cannot hide.
33:14Teach us how to make these weapons.
33:20Teach us how to make these weapons it.
33:21Take up.
33:23Take him.
33:25Take him.
33:26Oh, no, no, no.
34:00You're off. You didn't write out with Avner?
34:04He ordered me to stay.
34:08Avner and I, we've had some discord of late.
34:13And I also heard you were offering reading lessons.
34:16But you already read.
34:20Good point.
34:22Well, you may say I've wasted a trip.
34:31What is bothering you?
34:35What do you mean?
34:38Nothing.
34:40What do you mean?
34:42Forgive me, princess, but...
34:46Your hands...
34:49I've noticed you do that when you're worried.
34:56Do you make a habit of watching every little thing people do?
35:01Only the interesting ones.
35:06It's...
35:07It's David.
35:09I worry whenever he leaves.
35:13You do realize he's about to marry your sister.
35:17They've set a wedding date, have they not?
35:20I can't help it.
35:24He has my heart.
35:27I fear he always will.
35:32Yawa...
35:33Will you do something for me?
35:35Anything.
35:38Protect him.
35:42I already am.
35:56Yawa...
35:58Yawa...
35:59Yawa...
35:59Yawa...
36:02Yawa...
36:29I need to know how the king cured himself of his curse.
36:33And how would I know that?
36:35There are no secrets in this palace that do not find my ears.
36:42I can't help you.
36:44Can't? Can't or won't?
36:47Need I remind you I am the one who brought you here?
36:51I saved you, Keisha.
36:53I saved myself.
36:57Daik, I have nothing more to do with you.
37:02I have to speak to the king about the whisper of sight.
37:06Perhaps I should speak to him and let you lose your head.
37:10I've stepped beyond your control, Daik.
37:14Now it is you who owes your life to my whim.
37:20Shame on you.
37:46On your knees, Israelites.
37:55I kneel to God, not to man.
38:07Not a man.
38:09To the priestess of El, mistress of Baal, sister of Ashera, you will mean to the witch of Eindor.
38:32What is this?
38:33What is this?
38:34The tool?
38:50And you said you'd never come home.
38:57Hello, Mother.
39:01Tell me, Avnir.
39:04Did you think they would lose respect for you?
39:07Or perhaps they would have come to fear you?
39:11I have so many reasons to kill you.
39:16For refusing offerings to our gods.
39:20For sitting beside the king as he outlawed witchcraft.
39:25Or for killing a daughter of Endor.
39:29To cover the sins of your house.
39:33Yes, any of these will do.
39:39Ask my son.
39:42And he'll tell you why people truly fear me.
39:47I speak with the dead.
39:50And they show me many things.
40:04I am not afraid of your cheap tricks.
40:09Tell me, son of Judah.
40:12Does your conscience still drown in the blood of the innocent family you slaughtered?
40:18I hear their cries.
40:21The same ones that haunt you in the night.
40:35Ah, son of Saul.
40:39Crown Prince of Israel.
40:43Yet when I look into your future, I see nothing at all.
40:47A life cut short.
40:50How does it feel, Prince?
40:52To know the crown meant for your head will sit on another.
40:57The crown will rest on the one deserving of it.
41:01But is it enough for me?
41:12What have you brought here, Avni?
41:16Who are you?
41:18You speak to the dead.
41:20I speak to the creator.
41:23And he sees you.
41:25Tell me.
41:27My name is David.
41:31You have great power.
41:35Yet you are weakened by a lie.
41:39When you finally live in the truth,
41:43woe to the witch or the king
41:44who tries to stand in your way.
41:50Your power will break those around you.
41:53And your house will never know peace.
42:00Let them go, all of them.
42:02I do not want their blood on my hands.
42:12But one more thing, Avni.
42:16One day soon, the house of Saul will be defeated.
42:21Not from without.
42:23It will crumble from within.
42:27And you will watch, helpless,
42:31as you draw your last breath.
42:47Oh, whoah?
42:53.
42:57Very impressive.
42:59An army carrying such weapons will crush the Hebrews.
43:02We will advance beyond the border villages, and then we will carve up Israel.
43:08Already dividing the spoils of your victory, Akish?
43:11As the dog returns to his vomit, so the fool repeats his folly.
43:19All of Philistia still bleeds after your last promise of victory.
43:24Then it was giants.
43:26Now you require more swords, and you want thousands of them.
43:32All paid for at my expense.
43:34Our shared expense.
43:37Exactly how much time and silver will this require?
43:40As long and as much as needed.
43:44I will find my own fortress, and fight my own wars.
43:50Perhaps against you.
43:55Thank you for this gift, but I am no fool.
43:58Now?
43:59You are a great and wise king.
44:05Whose time has passed.
44:16Dark Lord!
44:24Now, young prince, would you like to suffer your father's fate?
44:28Hmm?
44:31Or join a new generation of kings?
44:37I will...
44:38I will join you.
44:40Good.
44:42Then you will have your father's throne.
44:45And one third of Israel.
44:59All hail King Hanun!
45:02All hail King Hanun!
45:04All hail King Hanun!
45:07All hail King Hanun!
45:09All hail King Hanun!
45:11All hail King Hanun!
45:12Do not defy me again.
45:13We are both kings.
45:16I have simply removed an obstacle.
45:18He was a king of Philistia.
45:20And now he is no more.
45:24Come, Akish.
45:25You think too much.
45:31Hm?
46:00Just know, if you are lying about my daughter, I will kill you, your mother, and your men.
46:09Make a thousand Philistine swords just to spite yours.
46:14You won't get everything you were promised.
46:18Men, hear me.
46:22Everything that witch said is meant to disturb your mind, to sow distrust and chaos in Israel.
46:32Never breathe a word of it to anyone.
46:42We must have words.
46:44Go on.
46:46We are going to stop acting like a fool.
46:49Our brother has been anointed by the Seer.
46:52He has proven himself in battle time and again.
46:55And last night, somehow, saved all of our lives from that witch.
47:00Our brother is a danger to himself and to the rest of our family.
47:03I know, Ilya.
47:04Your issue is not with David.
47:05It's with yourself.
47:08Open your eyes.
47:10So you don't get to be the hero of our family anymore.
47:14Too bad.
47:17You know who met David, the hero?
47:21God did.
47:29It's blasphemy.
47:31The notion of her knowing our destiny.
47:34And yet, if she was able to see the truth about you...
47:40I will admit, I worry about my own future.
47:44Jonathan, none of us know what truly lies ahead.
47:48But she was right about one thing.
47:51We must live in our truth.
47:55And that means cherishing the light of each new day.
48:00God grants us no promise of another.
48:05And after all this...
48:10darkness...
48:12right towards the light.
48:20And if there's love to be found...
48:23I must embrace it.
48:24But I still can.
48:26Jonathan!
48:28What are you doing here?
49:02What are we going to do now?
49:08My king.
49:10David.
49:13Was the mission successful?
49:15Have you returned with the God of Swords?
49:17We have.
49:19But first, I must speak to you of another matter.
49:23Speak.
49:24I cannot.
49:32I will not marry Mirav.
49:37I do not wish to defy you.
49:39But I know the truth.
49:42If she truly loved me and I heard them...
49:45Then I would obey you.
49:47But I know in my heart...
49:49We cannot be together.
49:53And if he wishes not that I be with Mecha...
49:55Then so be it.
49:59After all...
50:00Who am I?
50:02Let I be son of law to the king.
50:04What are you saying, David?
50:06What are you saying, David?
50:09You choose...
50:11To refuse my command.
50:16I choose to live in the truth.
50:22May the king live forever.
50:24I choose to live in the truth.
50:24I choose to live in...
50:27I choose to live in the world.
50:28Savage!
50:36Son of Jesse.
50:44Decisions have consequences.
50:49Show the lies.
50:52God guides a man's destiny.
50:57Do what you must.
