00:15Previously on House of David, as a reward for your bravery, I give you command of a thousand
00:21applause. We are worthy. We always have been. And if you truly believe that, what would you ask for?
00:32I offer you my beautiful daughter in marriage, Miraf. You shamed my daughter to defile this man's
00:41daughter. I mean, probably. I choose to banish my son. He can never return without paying his debt.
00:47I will use dark magic. He will not change the law. Perhaps you will have to. You and I are
00:54the only
00:54two of our line who will survive. You must crown me king. Keep this between us for now. We did
00:59this
00:59out of necessity. Great profit. Send forth the family of Jesse. What I know has a currency worth more than
01:06gold.
01:20I'll start with a question. Can people change? Can they rise above their nature?
01:30Life has taught me we emerge through fire.
01:36We transform through suffering.
01:40Let me tell you my story.
01:48You are a Heshbav. Prince of Israel. Banished to Andor by his own family. Yes?
01:57Yes. Good.
02:08Are you coming?
02:11Yes.
02:14Yes.
02:15Yes.
02:29Yes.
02:30Yes.
02:32Yes.
02:33Yes.
02:33Yes.
02:34Yes.
02:39Yes.
02:39If you plan to ransom me, I have disappointing news.
02:42I hold no value in my father's eyes.
02:46Perhaps I see much more than he does.
02:51Come, my friend. We have no need for conflict.
02:55I am no friend of yours or your gods.
03:01You will learn in time.
03:16Do as you were told, and I'll spare you the whip.
03:23It's not a trick. Have you, Phil?
03:38Tell me, prince, have you ever seen an elephant?
03:46What do you want of me?
03:49Enormous, powerful creatures.
03:52But easy to tame.
03:55When they are young, you simply have to tie them to a pole by a rope.
04:00No matter how much they try, they cannot break their restraint.
04:04They resist the fight.
04:07But in time, they give up.
04:14One's grown massive beast can be tied to the same pole by a simple string.
04:24Because it thinks of itself what it has been taught to believe.
04:31The power begins in the mind, not the body.
04:40What do you want of me?
04:44You will suffer until you understand who you really are.
05:01No more.
05:04I'll do anything.
05:08Please.
05:19Remove as Biden's. He's of no threat anymore.
05:31I'll do anything.
05:32Sit down.
05:40Spring?
06:01Why do you show me mercy now?
06:07Like the elephant, Ishbal.
06:11You ceased resisting a rope that held you back.
06:16You became compliant, allowing lesser men to choose your fate.
06:23But now, it's time for you to decide your path.
06:35To decide for yourself.
06:40I am loyal to the house of my father.
06:43Sorrel, son of Kish, servant to none.
06:52I didn't break, father.
06:55I killed my captors.
06:57Freed the other prisoners.
07:00And together, we escaped.
07:04It's quite a story, Ishbal.
07:08I passed through the fire, father.
07:11Do I not seem different to you?
07:14A man proves his substance by what he does, not what he says.
07:19Then allow me to earn your trust.
07:23With honesty.
07:26Before you returned in triumph, I was crowned king.
07:29By mother.
07:30We believed you had been defeated and killed.
07:32But someone had to step up and lead to what was left of our people.
07:35And so I did.
07:37You took your opportunity.
07:38To protect my queen and your legacy.
07:40And yet, neither of you spoke a word of it until now.
07:45You think I didn't hear whispers about your coronation?
07:51There are no secrets that time does not betray, Ishbal.
07:57Mother would have told you in time.
08:01But I am telling you now.
08:04I have made more mistakes in my life than I care to admit.
08:08But I promise you, I wish to redeem them all.
08:12How so?
08:15The woman I defiled and was banished for.
08:20I will marry her.
08:22In accordance with the law of Moses.
08:25Ease the burden on our family and the kingdom.
08:28All for your glory.
08:29My king.
08:33My king.
08:53David.
08:54David.
08:58I'm sorry.
09:02I don't know why he would do that.
09:04My father, he's just...
09:05Shh.
09:05I know.
09:07I don't know what to do now.
09:10I know.
09:11But we cannot give up.
09:17What are you reading?
09:19The story of Joseph.
09:21It's my favorite.
09:24Would you read it to me?
09:26Yes.
09:27Yes.
09:32And Joseph said to them.
09:34Do not be afraid.
09:38Am I in the place of God?
09:41You intended to harm me.
09:44But the Lord used it for good.
09:46To accomplish what is now being done.
09:52It's beautiful.
09:53These words.
09:55They give me hope.
09:59Hope.
10:01Be a welcome gift right now.
10:04Have you spoken to me off?
10:05Not yet.
10:06I need to speak with my father.
10:10But I know all too well how that will go.
10:13Then let me speak to him.
10:15You don't know him like I do, David.
10:18He's stubborn.
10:20He doesn't listen.
10:24Why is this so difficult?
10:28Yeah, we will find a way.
10:30It's like the world has conspired to hold us back.
10:34It's constantly pushing us against the current.
10:39Well, then we will keep swimming.
10:43Or better yet, we will change the course of the river altogether.
10:49The Lord helped me defeat a giant.
10:52I'm sure you will help me speak to your father.
10:57Well, my father, he will not fall so easily.
11:03What's world, Avner?
11:05Samuel has escaped the city.
11:07He must have had help to get beyond the walls.
11:09We held Samuel captive.
11:10To help him.
11:12Remember the former days, yes.
11:14I have scouts searching for him.
11:16Anything more avert could have consequences.
11:19But the people revere him.
11:20As do I.
11:21That old snake will slither into the grass and by this time.
11:25Surely he'll show up at the tabernacle.
11:27And there he will kiss my ring.
11:29If he refuses.
11:31No.
11:32You cannot harm Samuel, father.
11:35People would rise up.
11:37My king.
11:38Now is not the time, David.
11:40What troubles you come?
11:42There has been a great mistake.
11:46I cannot marry Mirav.
11:48When it is Michal, who I love.
11:51She wants us to be together.
11:53Surely her wishes matter.
11:54And my choice is...
11:56Choice!
11:57Okay.
11:57You should go now.
11:58No, no, no, Avner.
11:59Let me tell you something about choice.
12:02Men go to war and death when I order them to.
12:06I feed my people or they starve.
12:09They live free or are enslaved.
12:12Because I choose one way or the other.
12:15No one dares question the wisdom of my actions.
12:19Who gave you the right?
12:22I only ask that you reconsider.
12:26RECONSIDER!
12:27All right, all right.
12:28That's enough.
12:30The king's gratitude is a cup not many get to drink from.
12:35Pray not choke on it.
12:38Go.
12:49Can you believe him?
12:50Why would he do this?
12:51You know what he's like.
12:52I'm sure he has his reasons.
12:54What reasons?
12:55David loves me and I love him.
12:58Father knows this.
12:59There is no good reason why he would have David marry you.
13:04We should go.
13:06We should go and talk to him.
13:07Together.
13:08We can convince him.
13:10Get him there and come to a...
13:11Will you stop cleaning?
13:14Father has made up his mind.
13:16No.
13:16And I am the older sister, so it does make sense.
13:20Miraf.
13:21Perhaps father thinks you are too soft-hearted for David.
13:25For what he needs to become.
13:28Soft-hearted.
13:29No, relax.
13:30I didn't mean to offend.
13:32I'm sure you didn't either.
13:35Right?
13:47I cannot marry Miraf.
13:49I will not...
13:51You cannot let frustration distract you.
14:00See?
14:00Distract him.
14:08You're our new commander.
14:10I'm David.
14:11Yes, yes, I know who you are.
14:14It's an honor to serve under you.
14:17Uriah.
14:20Uriah?
14:21And I, I'm Oaz.
14:24Oaz.
14:25Nice to meet both of you.
14:27Thank you for the hand, Uriah.
14:28Don't you all have duties?
14:31Oh, my prince.
14:35You're improving, am I?
14:38No.
14:39I was disarmed and humiliated more than a few times when I was learning.
14:44Yes.
14:44When you were a boy.
14:46Not a commander.
14:48We're all capable of becoming more.
14:52Take up your sword.
14:56Less sparring.
14:57More footwork.
14:59And balance.
15:01You see?
15:04Soldier is not just brute force.
15:07He is finesse.
15:10You try.
15:12Keep your weight low.
15:14Your feet light.
15:16With confidence.
15:18I have to trust that you deserve this.
15:20You see, my father taught me long ago.
15:23A leader must believe he's cut from that cloth.
15:26Whether it started as fine silk or wool,
15:29a king can be fashioned from either.
15:35He told you to stop.
15:37Keep moving.
15:38Oh.
15:38Again.
15:39Yes.
15:40Let it flow.
15:42Use your hips.
15:43Strong.
15:45Let's go.
15:47Again.
15:48Balance.
15:49Balance.
16:01You ready?
16:02Set up.
16:05Better.
16:13Pointing towards your enemy always.
16:15Nice.
16:18And forward on the same foot.
16:21Come down.
16:26button.
16:39It is done.
16:39Good.
16:42One.
16:53The boys are natural, a hero in the making.
16:57Yes.
16:59If he shines too bright, even a king may find himself blinded.
17:05I know what I'm doing.
17:09And yet, you invited chaos into our home, our daughters.
17:15Why must you make these decisions without discussing with me first?
17:21You're right.
17:24Part of love is trust and honesty.
17:27A husband and wife should keep no secrets from each other.
17:33Do you agree?
17:40Who told you?
17:43Does it matter?
17:45I was meaning to tell you myself when the time was right.
17:49And yet, you did not.
17:53I understand you did what you felt you had to.
18:03But admit it.
18:05You did grieve me a bit quickly.
18:09I never have to again.
18:24I never have to lie to me again.
18:40supplies are low with all we must continue this another time give us a few days yes

22:35Oh, my God.
22:53Oh, my God.
23:15The room has been done already.
23:18The jeweler has repaired your necklace.
23:21I was returning it.
23:25Your duties are with the princesses.
23:27Sit to those.
23:28Yes, my queen.
23:35I trust you've checked every corner for scorpions.
23:40Scorpions, my queen?
23:42Yes.
23:43Elusive little things.
23:46Crawling through the smallest crack.
23:49Hoping to catch their prey unaware.
23:53They must be careful to crush them.
23:56Before they can do any harm.
24:00You're hurting me.
24:14The people would celebrate a union between David and either princess.
24:19Why can't it not be me?
24:20Even in victory, there are still wolves at my door.
24:24I need the giant killer at my sight.
24:28He is a symbol of God's faith in me.
24:30And I could make him happy.
24:32This is not about making him happy.
24:35This is about shaping him into the man I need him to become.
24:39To serve my will.
24:41But, father...
24:42Michal, I love you with the light of a thousand stars.
24:49But your sister's right.
24:51She is the better choice.
24:55Did Merab ask you for this?
24:59She did.
25:01It is what best serves our nation.
25:06Michal!
25:16It is not just men who climb ladders to reach their ambition.
25:23It is Betty's sisters too.
25:28Come on.
25:39How much further till then?
25:43Are you finding horse riding uncomfortable, brother?
25:47We could always arrange a donkey for you.
25:51Or you could just walk.
25:57Your brother does not hide his jealousy well.
26:01I didn't ask to be in command of him.
26:04I just want him to think I'm worthy.
26:08Well, if you seek it from those who won't give it,
26:11it says more about you than them.
26:18So, do you know how much further till then?
26:29Make way for the princes of Israel.
26:32Jonathan and Eshbar.
26:34In what cause?
26:35An audience with your lord, here of Dan.
27:04No matter what happens, you don't lose your temper.
27:06When do I ever lose my temper, my prince?
27:14Yair of Dan.
27:15I heard the little dog was on the loose again.
27:18Come to grovel at my feet.
27:20We are here on the orders of your king.
27:23The same king whose wife ordered her son into banishment
27:26for his sins against my house.
27:27Yet there he is.
27:29We only wish to talk.
27:31We're not talking.
27:33We're hunting.
27:34Hunting what?
27:36Wild boar.
27:38Boar is unclean.
27:41You invoke the law to me
27:43while standing beside your brother who broke it?
27:46Still, we don't eat it.
27:48But the Philistines do.
27:50And they have metal to trade for it.
27:52Brother.
27:55I offer what you first requested.
27:58A union by marriage.
28:00Of our two houses.
28:04No.
28:05I am not interested in lifting your shame.
28:10Do not turn your back on your prince.
28:14Perhaps I could speak with Dina.
28:18Ask her thoughts.
28:20When did her thoughts matter?
28:22I think you have traveled many miles for nothing.
28:26Best be on your way.
28:33Are you the one they call the giant killer?
28:37Actually, it's a giant slayer.
28:39Yes.
28:40I am David.
28:42I wonder if you're as quick with a blade as you are with a sling.
28:46Only one way to find out.
28:49Join me.
28:51I will not hunt an unclean animal.
28:54Very well.
28:56But you walk, don't you?
29:02Come.
29:03Let's hunt.
29:09Quiet now.
29:12Boars are clever animals.
29:16Dangerous too when cornered.
29:18Much like the king.
29:21I...
29:58Dead by my blade.
30:04Dina, we have royal company here to beg for your dainty hand.
30:16You don't remember me.
30:22Well, the king has secured the great victory.
30:24The leaders who did not support him in his hour of need, they face consequences.
30:30Are you threatening me?
30:33We're handing you an opportunity.
30:35Marrying Eshbal and Dina could prove mutually beneficial.
30:42After a war, a king has debts.
30:45What better way to pay them than lean on the wealthiest leader in all the land?
30:49And yet your mother...
30:54disrespected me.
30:55Yeah, mistakes you regret.
30:57I assure you.
31:00What of you, giant slayer?
31:03What wisdom do you have for me?
31:11You spoke of disrespect before.
31:14It is a feeling I know well.
31:17Of my life, so many...
31:19voices telling me I was...
31:21less than who I know I am.
31:23But I chose to draw strength from their words.
31:26And not be wounded by them.
31:29To rise above.
31:34Well said.
31:37You could reject the king's offer.
31:39And gain nothing.
31:42Or you could show strength.
31:43And see what there is to gain.
31:49Surely profit heals many wounds.
31:56Spoken like a true man of commerce.
31:59And be careful.
32:01This one's more of a leader than he yet realizes.
32:24You're quite handy with that.
32:29For a woman.
32:31For anyone.
32:33Were you not joining in the celebration?
32:36It was your kill, after all.
32:39That's not how my father tells it.
32:48I am sorry, Dina.
32:52For all the shame I brought upon you.
32:57Careful, Leshpal.
33:01I've already gathered one pig today.
33:07I've heard the stories about how your father treats you.
33:11I wasn't the son he wanted.
33:15I'm the one enduring symbol of his failures.
33:19All that we share.
33:23Perhaps together we could change it.
33:26I'm not marrying you, Eshpal, just so you can escape the law of Moses.
33:30It would be an escape for both of us.
33:32You don't like me.
33:34Fair enough.
33:36But marriage doesn't have to be for love.
33:39Oh.
33:40Whisper in my ears, red prince.
33:42Dina, Dina, I'm giving you the chance at freedom from this place.
33:51Take it.
34:02I will not birth you in air.
34:05And I want to stallion, along with the king's grace, to go hunting as much as I like.
34:10Those are my terms.
34:14Of course.
34:14Of course.
34:23Minash Bal.
34:26I want to pretend to love you.
34:30I don't have it in me.
34:48Avnil.
34:54Has it come to this?
34:58I've told us another way.
35:00So you're just another knife for the king.
35:04A tool.
35:06For his aimless wrath.
35:08I swear on earth.
35:10We are a king, Avnil.
35:13Blood means more than us.
35:17You used to be noble.
35:20Please.
35:22Please, Avnil.
35:26You get out of here.
35:28Get out of Israel.
35:30Say a word to no one.
35:32I will find you and I will kill you.
35:34Go!
35:37Bye, Avnil.
35:46I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
35:48I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
35:52I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
35:56I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
35:56I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
35:57I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
35:58I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
35:58I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
35:58I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
35:59I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
36:02I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and I will find you and
36:08I
36:26More wine.
36:53It appears there's no more for you to take, sister.
37:17I'll do this.
37:24Where is your father?
37:26I'm not sure.
37:37I wish I could make things easier for you, but we all have obligations.
37:47Please, mother.
37:48I do not need one more person telling me to get over this.
37:51It's so much more than that.
37:53You saw your father before the battle?
37:56How far he has fallen.
37:59And part of his torment was of your making.
38:03Spells and witchcrush.
38:05No.
38:06They weren't even legal, but you saw fit to change that, didn't you?
38:12Why did you hear that?
38:13Achimelech.
38:14He was...
38:16Leave us.
38:23You will never speak of this again to anyone.
38:28I know what you did, the mother.
38:29And poor Achimelech was made to transcribe your sin.
38:36One day, you will know what it feels like to make terrible decisions in order to save the ones you
38:45love.
38:48Do you care for this family?
38:53Of course I do.
38:55Then you will respect your father's decision.
39:01And let this go.
39:06All right.
39:23Well handled, David.
39:25Yeah, it would have turned us away, but for you...
39:28I only told him the truth.
39:29No.
39:30No, you offered him an alternative.
39:32Found a middle path.
39:34I suppose I learned it from my mother.
39:36She was a woman of patience.
39:38Perhaps.
39:39But you have something that cannot be taught.
39:43Conviction.
39:45You see, soldiers, they'll follow orders without respecting their leader.
39:50But if you can convince them that you would just as willingly die in their course as you would your
39:54own,
39:56those men would follow you into the fires of hell.
40:17I thought I was being called to breakfast, just the two of us.
40:21Didn't we agree no more secrets?
40:25And yet, you took my signature ring from my finger while I suffered, changed my law without consent.
40:38I had no other choice.
40:40I was protecting you.
40:42Why don't you not to lie to me?
40:45And yet, here we are again.
40:48You were foolish to assume someone wouldn't reveal the truth to me.
40:57A scorpion after all.
41:10I made a mistake.
41:13It pains me.
41:15You will not accompany me and our family to the tabernacle.
41:19Instead, you will remain in the palace and consider how you wish to carry on.
41:27Of all the dangers I face,
41:32I never believed you would be one.
41:40So...
41:40Go!
41:42Now!
41:47Kezia.
41:51You stay.
41:57You stay.
41:57You stay.
41:59You stay.
42:25You stay.
42:27Ooh.
42:34What is it?
42:36Why are the guards no longer a standing watch?
43:03why are those guards?
43:08Take mine!
43:10Take mine!
43:11Take mine!
43:12Take mine!
