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