00:19Previously on House of David
00:21Master, where are we going now?
00:23To find the king
00:24Should he annoy another?
00:25He must be slain
00:27Who did this?
00:27Your people have a legend now
00:29Do they not?
00:30Giants
00:30Prepare the horses
00:31Where are we going?
00:32To summon new gods
00:33This royal visit is a distraction
00:35Their king is losing his mind
00:38Give it!
00:40I'm sorry, Oshia
00:41Father?
00:42Father!
00:47Son!
00:58Son!
01:16Let go, Oshia
01:19Samuel?
01:21Is it you?
01:24Speak with me!
01:35His name should be Jonathan
01:37My son
01:39Jonathan
01:40Future king
01:43He will never be king
01:46Because of you
01:48No, no
01:49Because of your pride
01:50It destroyed him
01:52It destroyed us
01:55The time has passed
01:59Jonathan!
02:01A man!
02:03God!
02:14Wait!
02:16Jonathan!
02:17I will make a man!
02:19Lord!
02:19God!
02:20He is not
02:21God!
02:22No!
02:36God!
02:39God!
02:41God!
02:42Hog!
02:43God!
02:53No!
02:57No!
03:00No!
03:02No!
03:03No!
03:03No!
03:04No!
03:05No!
03:05No!
03:05No!
03:05Look at me!
03:06But I have been a good king.
03:12No!
03:13My son!
03:16No!
03:22No!
03:25No!
03:30Let go, Saul.
03:33Let go of what is no longer yours.
03:37No.
03:38No!
04:06No!
04:07No!
04:08No!
04:09No!
04:10No!
04:10No!
04:11No!
04:13No!
04:26No!
04:35Be with my brother, Lord.
04:39Protect him.
04:43Do not take him from me.
04:46Please.
04:48Do not let them pay for my mistakes.
04:55Nathaniel, make sure the women stay outside.
05:02You will hold them down.
05:04I want you to see the pain you have caused.
05:07This must be quick.
05:08We must hear the wound before he bleeds to death.
05:11And pray it lifts the fever.
05:12Understand?
05:15All right, you.
05:22Ready?
05:33Strength, son.
05:36No!
05:38No!
05:41No!
05:49I'm sorry.
05:52I'm sorry.
05:54I do not need apologies.
05:57Only obedience.
06:39I'm curious.
06:46Oh, Lord Avner.
06:48Go away.
06:50I am honored by your presence down here in the shadows.
06:59When animals are your business, they lose their foul smell.
07:05What uncleanliness is this, Dohica?
07:08I am no Hebrew, Lord, as you know.
07:12And I'm a man of questions.
07:16I need someone followed.
07:18Hmm?
07:21Whose footsteps do you wish me to trace?
07:24The seer.
07:26Which seer?
07:26There are many.
07:29Samuel.
07:31Samuel.
07:35Does he frighten you?
07:37Very much.
07:39Would you like me to kill him?
07:42Follow him only.
07:44And take note of every warrior, lord, and leader he meets.
07:48Report back to me.
07:50Me only.
07:53I do it quietly and at once.
07:56Lord Avner.
07:58Would it not be better to convince Samuel to lift the king's curse?
08:07What curse?
08:10What curse?
08:11Oh, yes.
08:12Indeed.
08:13What curse?
08:15What curse?
08:17What curse?
08:28What curse?
08:48Oh, your hair.
08:52Come, I'll fix it, come.
08:54Look at you.
08:56You were up there all night.
08:59I was.
09:00He spoke to you?
09:03He did.
09:06What the Lord asks pains you.
09:10Why do you still weep for Saul when I have chosen another?
09:16And so, the Lord asks me to commit treason.
09:25What?
09:27It's just funny.
09:29The most high is funny.
09:31Funny?
09:32Saul could kill me.
09:34Treason.
09:36Treason against who?
09:38Does the wind on your skin commit treason for cooling us and not Saul?
09:42Does the mountain commit treason for standing taller than the great king?
09:47Man can play with swords and crowns and words like treason, but our God brings life to all, and he
09:55is the great author of the story.
10:09I think if only I had been a better father, then perhaps none of this would have come to pass.
10:16Maybe the people would not have demanded a king, perhaps God would have been enough for them.
10:27What's done is done for Saul and for me.
10:33Is it for you?
10:38Everything we know is about to change, Hila.
10:41I am anointing a new king in a nation that has one, and a beloved one, no less.
10:55Well, be sure to anoint a better one this time.
10:59Ah.
11:01Do you know where you're supposed to find this new king?
11:06I do.
11:07Then why are you waiting?
11:10I have not finished my tea yet.
11:14God is the great author of the story.
11:17I like that.
11:18I'm stealing it from you.
11:26I saw him only days ago.
11:29He was right there, just outside my window.
11:37My queen.
11:39Forgive me, but I do not understand.
11:45Yuxia was not a soldier.
11:48He was gentle, caring.
11:52How could he die like this?
11:59The house of Saul.
12:03Still many enemies.
12:06A veiled assassin evaded our guardsmen and attempted to kill the king.
12:11But your brave son jumped in front of the blow and spared him.
12:21Please, your grace, say this is not true.
12:27Why would God do this?
12:29Why would he allow something so cruel?
12:38I want you to have this.
12:42A small gesture that will never repay.
12:46I cannot, my queen.
12:48This is too sacred.
12:50No, no, no.
12:51You will better serve you than I.
12:56Why this routine inside?
13:00I am with you.
13:02I will never, I will never forsake or abandon you.
13:11I would do anything to protect my family.
13:16Anything.
13:18So you, you take this.
13:20And in turn, I will carry your suffering as if I myself was responsible for it.
13:39Oh, did I miss, uh...
13:56Family chat?
13:58You all look so sour.
14:00You didn't hear.
14:02Oh.
14:03Still crying over the servant boy.
14:05You are not father's skewered.
14:08You know, he may be losing his mind, but it seems like father's aim is still the stuff of legends.
14:12Ashbal.
14:14Show some respect.
14:15Thousands of soldiers have died on the battlefield for our family.
14:18I don't recall you crawling into bed and salting your pillow for them.
14:22They died willingly in combat.
14:24Yet they died just the same.
14:25So what does it matter?
14:26Just one more life.
14:28Sacrificed on the altar of our noble royal family.
14:31Ash, enough.
14:32I don't know why you are so upset.
14:34You know, father's little mishap.
14:37It's the best thing that ever happened to that servant boy's family.
14:40From paupers to nobles.
14:42Overnight.
14:44Just one little sacrifice.
14:49There's a reason father will never choose you.
14:53Brother.
14:55There are many reasons.
14:57But answer me this, brother.
15:00When the king descends fully into madness, and you must take his crown away,
15:07what do you suppose he will throw at you?
15:27Tell me it was a nightmare.
15:29I...
15:33I...
15:34I...
15:35I...
15:35I would never hurt him.
15:38I...
15:39I didn't...
15:40Oh, Wodka.
15:44The blame for all of this is a one-and-one only.
15:48Samuel.
15:50Not you, my love.
15:57Better.
16:00That boy.
16:03What...
16:03What will we do?
16:05I took care of it.
16:10I'm going to take care of everything.
16:26Greetings.
16:28Priest of God.
16:29From the king himself.
16:31King Saul would like a sacrifice offered on the mountain.
16:36Then climb it.
16:39I do not wish for madness and visions.
16:42I have heard the stories.
16:45But I would brave it for the great one.
16:48For Samuel.
16:50Samuel is not here.
16:52Please.
16:54I am commanded to find the seer.
16:56He is not long gone.
16:58He and his apprentice.
17:04Which way did they travel?
17:22Do you know the name of the one you must anoint?
17:24I have asked.
17:27God answers only with signs and visions.
17:36Master, when will we return?
17:41Well, what do you ask?
17:44My wife is with child.
17:47In her final moon.
17:52Adina.
17:54Adina.
17:55Yes.
17:56Adina.
17:56Adina.
17:56Your first?
17:57My first.
17:57Well.
17:59I advise you to get plenty of sleep now.
18:02I prophesy that you will need it.
18:05Mm-hmm.
18:06Ha, ha, ha, ha.
18:07We will camp soon.
18:10You will wait there until I return.
18:13Thank you, but I should assist you.
18:16Share this burden.
18:18No.
18:19Silas.
18:21This could well turn out to be more than a burden.
18:27Might be a sentence of death, huh?
18:30No.
18:31You think of your future.
18:34You will think of your family, yes?
18:37Yes.
18:47What will you name your child?
18:50I don't know yet.
18:55How is he?
18:56The king sleeps mercifully.
19:05When were you last in Endor?
19:11Your mother?
19:14Does she still live?
19:18Or others like her?
19:23I would caution you, Ernest.
19:25Seeking a remedy, then they prove worse than the illness.
19:30The king is losing himself.
19:33I recognize him less and less every day.
19:37But you do recognize him.
19:42There are those within the city wars who still worship other gods.
19:47Are they not?
19:49Spiritualist mediums?
19:51What you ask, I've abandoned long ago.
19:55I see it in your eyes, when you look at him.
19:59His curse.
20:00You've seen it before.
20:04I've seen it before.
20:08That's why it terrifies me.
20:15That your mother didn't succumb to it.
20:18She became it.
20:22I tell you, this is a journey from which there is no return.
20:26There's good reason why her and her kind have been banished by the king, by your husband, and why God
20:32has forbidden it.
20:33God proclaims many things, or so the prophet would have us believe.
20:42Oh, you know, I fled that life long ago.
20:46Do not ask this of me.
20:49I am not asking.
21:02I am not asking.
21:17I am not asking.
21:19What can I help you find?
21:22We have a new shipment of cotton, imported from Egypt, and silk, of course.
21:27We are seeking something more spiritual.
21:31I am not sure I understand.
21:37Hello.
21:38Hello, Masai.
21:42Avna.
21:46My queen.
21:49Yes, I am your queen.
21:51And you are a priestess of Baal.
21:56I need your help.
21:59Quite peculiar.
22:01That the wife of the king who outlawed the mediums, not seeks the help of one.
22:05No harm shall come to you.
22:09Many of my aunts were back to the fair.
22:12And back they did.
22:14Well.
22:18Then, proof.
22:21We have made the wrong decision.
22:33Sir.
22:35Please.
22:37You wear the garments of Nov.
22:40The city of priests.
22:42Indeed.
22:46Please.
22:47Pray for me.
22:49I have lost everything.
22:53Sorry.
22:54I am an apprentice to serve a priest, not a priest myself.
22:58An apprentice?
23:00Then where is your master?
23:03Please.
23:06The prophet meditates.
23:11In the hills, there is no...
23:14Oh.
23:26Why?
23:40Who are you?
23:43The more you resist, the more pain you will suffer.
23:48But I am a reasonable man.
23:51So I offer a trade.
23:54I will free you once you answer this question.
23:59Where is Samuel?
24:05My master is not Samuel.
24:07He?
24:08It's true.
24:09He serves in Nov, but I do not serve him.
24:11The lies are my tradecraft, apprentice.
24:14Do not play a master at his own game.
24:18I had no plans to do research tonight.
24:21But I am known for my ability to adapt.
24:29Tell me, Silas.
24:31Do you know how many bones are in an ostrich?
24:3856.
24:40Counted them out myself.
24:43Ostriches are unique in that they have solid marrow throughout their leg bones.
24:50Ostriches cannot fly, but are much more valuable than birds that do.
24:57And this, my fellow, is a sharpened ostrich bone.
25:05This bone is perfect for deep cuts.
25:10You see?
25:12These bones discover things.
25:15You study the spirit.
25:17I investigate the body.
25:19And I learn so many things.
25:21Maybe tonight I can learn how many bones reside in the human ear.
25:26Wait, wait.
25:27They do not know what you are doing.
25:30I am a servant of the master of God.
25:34They want to...
25:35Do you want to know his wrath?
25:38Here is what I have been longing to say to a Hebrew.
25:41And now I can say to you, apprentice priest.
25:45I do not serve Yahweh.
25:47I serve my own interest and ambition.
25:49If he is real, which is unlikely,
25:54I invite him.
25:56I invite him to show me his wrath.
25:59Because here is my truth.
26:01He does not see all and he does not see me.
26:05So now, my Captain Bird,
26:08sing me a song and tell me where your master is or my face
26:12will be the last thing you ever see.
26:19He went to Hebron.
26:21That is all I know.
26:24Please, please, that's all I know.
26:27Let's begin.
26:28No, no, no!
26:33Samuel is powerful.
26:36To break a curse by him will require ancient sorcery.
26:40The curse cannot be dispelled.
26:44It must be deflected.
27:12The curse cannot be destroyed.
27:17The curse cannot be destroyed.
27:21The curse cannot be destroyed.
27:28The curse cannot be destroyed.
27:46The curse cannot be destroyed.
27:55The curse cannot be destroyed.
28:00The curse cannot be destroyed.
28:08The curse cannot be destroyed.
28:10The curse cannot be destroyed.
28:11The curse cannot be destroyed.
28:13The curse cannot be destroyed.
28:17The curse cannot be destroyed.
28:19The curse cannot be destroyed.
28:28I noticed your scriptures were gone from your bedside.
28:33It doesn't matter.
28:35Mother.
28:42God rules this house.
28:45He will restore father.
28:48We must not turn our back from him.
28:52King Saul of Benjamin rules this house.
28:55And one day you will too.
28:58But until then, you will remember who bore you.
29:43Samuel.
29:45The Lord's great prophet.
29:49While we are honored by your visit, we must first ask, do you come peaceably?
29:56Yes.
29:58I come to worship the Most High with you.
30:02Jesse.
30:05Send for the family of Jesse. I wish to make a sacrifice with them.
30:09Jesse, son of Oved?
30:10Yes.
30:12Jesse no longer sits with the elders, since he fathered a bastard child by the daughter of an enemy.
30:20Jesse.
30:28Jesse.
30:29Here you are.
30:31God is funny.
30:36Very well.
30:38Where is his home?
30:48The tracks lead down into the valley.
30:50It will be a dangerous journey, my king.
30:53My father told me many stories of giants as a boy.
30:58He told me they lived in a great valley.
31:03I wish he was here to see this.
31:05Please.
31:06We should keep moving.
31:08I have horses waiting down below.
31:45Lord.
31:47There is a reason non-return from this place.
31:54There is a reason non-return from this place.
32:06The fear that you feel is the fear we seek.
32:13Onward.
32:16Yes, my king.
32:49And there is a bit of a
32:50one-to-one one.
32:50I am alone.
32:50I am alone.
32:53I am, too.
33:01I am.
33:10Who approaches?
33:14Akish, Lord King of God, Prince of the Philistine Empire.
33:19I have come to seek an audience with the Anahim who walk among us.
33:23God was no friend of Anad.
33:31Yet I wish to be friends of yours.
33:34May I enter?
33:36Many enter.
33:38None return.
33:39The peace of my house depends on it.
33:43Do you still request this?
33:46Yes.
33:47Enter, Lord of God.
33:49You and no other.
34:06Enter your keys?
34:07No, my king.
34:10Ready?
34:15No, I'm king!
34:15What are you doing, sir?
34:17I'm going to wait to see a place.
34:19Hey, you got your keys, sir.
34:19You got your keys?
34:20Hey, you got your keys.
34:23I got your keys.
34:23I'm going to be the key.
34:24Time to get your keys.
34:43My lord, Samuel, it is an honor to have you in our homestead.
34:54Jesse's and the boys, why do you tremble?
35:00Stand up, stand and look at me.
35:08I've come to make an offering to the Lord.
35:10Gather your sons, we will sacrifice together.
35:24Lord of God, how did you find this place?
35:34Your kind leave deep footprints.
35:38My seers tell me you are called Orpah.
35:42I am.
35:45Which in the Old Tongue is Mother of Giants.
35:48Hmm.
35:50No one speaks in the Old Tongue.
35:54It was buried long ago.
35:59I have come to offer an alliance between Gath and this household.
36:12I will speak to the father.
36:16Then you must speak to the gods.
36:20And you would not survive the conversation.
36:24They keep few bargains with men, be they kings or beggars.
36:29Speak to the gods.
36:31That's impossible.
36:33And yet you are here.
36:37Tell me, Gath Lord, if mighty ones of old walked the earth, what would you offer them?
36:52Speak well if you wish to leave this place alive.
36:58I would offer wealth, honor, worship, their rightful place amongst mortals.
37:07But most important, against the children of Israel who drove you from your lands and into
37:13these caves.
37:18I offer vengeance.
37:45I offer vengeance.
38:05Father, what is this?
38:06The seer has gone mad.
38:08I saw it at Gilgal.
38:09Shh.
38:15Why is David not here?
38:22Eliyab, the oldest of my sons.
38:33Surely, you are the one the Lord demands.
38:38Eliyab, the beginning of your father's might.
38:43Strongest in dignity and power.
38:49As unrestrained as the ocean's tide.
38:57And yet, why are you so afraid?
39:12Why are you so afraid?
39:21What do you mean?
39:22I don't need.
39:45I told you, his mind is gone.
39:49Hush.
39:53I do not understand.
40:00Why have you disobeyed my command?
40:04Are there no other sons of Jesse?
40:10There is one more.
40:14The youngest of my sons, David.
40:17But he watches the sheep.
40:22Send for him.
40:30Ava, go get David.
40:32Hurry.
40:34Yes, sit, please.
40:37Break bread with us while we wait.
40:39No one will sit.
40:40No one will eat.
40:43We will stand until your other son is here.
40:46No.
40:48No.
40:54No.
40:56No.
40:57No.
41:00No.
41:01No.
41:04No.
41:06No.
41:18No.
41:26No.
41:33No.
41:38No.
41:51No.
41:54No.
41:55No.

42:15No.
42:19No.

42:23No.
42:36Who are you?
42:37I am Samuel.
42:40Profiter the Most High.
42:54Look at me, son of Jesse.
43:07Ah!
43:14I am.
43:38I came expecting a great warrior.
43:44And yet God does not see what man sees.
43:51Man sees the outward appearance.
43:57God looks into the heart.
44:04David, son of Jesse, simple shepherd.
44:11When this day is true, you will be something entirely new.
44:26Oh, God, it's funny.
44:48Behold the greatest of my sons.
45:06What is his name?
45:11I am Goliath.
45:27Neil, son of Jesse.
45:36David, least of your brothers.
45:40The Lord of Hosts has chosen you.
45:53Lion of the tribe of Judah.
45:58Father, your heart seeks after God, and therefore he has sought after you.
46:14The Lord has rejected the house of Saul forever.
46:23Today, he claims you as his son, and in your house, all of Israel shall be blessed.
46:41The Lord is anointed.
46:42Rise, David.
46:45The Lord's anointed.
46:49Anointed?
46:50As what?
46:53King of Israel.
46:54King of Israel.
46:56I can't, I can't.
47:12I can't believe this man.
47:48Saul, slayer of the Amalekites.
47:53Protector of all Israel.
47:59Giant among men, first king of the Promised Land, and wrath of God among our enemies.
48:10Now returns triumphant to his throne.
48:16Hewn from the gates of kings fallen.
48:24May the house of Saul endure forever!
48:29Bart!
