TVTranscript
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.
01:12You have waiting for us.
01:24Let's do it.
01:25Ah!
01:27Ah!
01:30Uh!
01:35Think it's Rugby!
01:36Ah!
01:37Ah!
01:37Ah!
01:38Ah!
01:40Ah!
01:40Ah!
01:41Ah!
01:44The righteous will flourish like a palm tree.
01:50They will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.
01:59Clanted 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.
03:20Sierra's gone by too quickly.
03:23Look at you, all this time.
03:26You still can't grow a beard, huh?
03:27I've been trying.
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?
03:40Michal.
03:44Distracting herself as much as she can.
03:47She teaches children now.
03:49Yes.
03:51What's going on in the rest?
03:54A house divided can be, well, an unpleasant place.
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.
04:17The pain behind us, it often blocks the joy ahead.
04:25So what can be done?
04:29We look forward.
04:35Ambush!
04:45She is in the center now!
04:51Where did they come from?
04:52All right, sir, I'll leave.
04:55They'll hit your brother.
05:01You keep the other one, I'm covered.
05:08Stay down!
05:10Stay down!
05:10A house!
05:17Get off me!
05:18Protect David!
05:20Come on!
05:39Come on!
05:42Just stay down!
05:50Oh
06:16Oh
06:54Oh
07:04Was that
07:16What
07:16What
07:17Raise your sword
07:26This light is a feather
07:29Yet still so strong
07:31That was my sword
07:33Are you going to replace it?
07:35Search the dead yourself
07:37I love
07:39Do not defy my wonders again
07:42Then do not tell me what to do
07:47Look at this
07:53More charcoal
07:54Yes
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
08:09They are stronger and lighter
08:13Follow Philistia
08:14Are armed with these
08:15God is able
08:19Plus I have held one far more perfect than this
08:34It's difficult
08:36I know
08:37But it's important
08:40Hmm?
08:43The writing
08:45Writing
08:46Writing is how we remember what came before us
08:50Like the great stories of
08:52Jacob
08:54Moses
08:55And Noah
08:55Who knows
08:57Maybe one day
08:58You will write down such a story
08:59Hmm?
09:01I would write the story of David
09:03The giant killer
09:08That would be a very good one
09:10That would be a very good one
09:10I wonder how it ends
09:31The giant killer
09:33Yes
09:34No
09:34No
09:34The giant killer
09:35Yes
09:35No
09:36No
09:36No
09:36No
09:37No
09:38No
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?
10:11David! David!
10:11Surely you wouldn't have come all the way to this side of the palace if you didn't.
10:16David! David! David! David! David!
10:21David! David! David! David! David!
10:24It is your name they should be chanting.
10:26And 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 has 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
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 pass to you as it should have.
17:08Hello, princess.
17:12David.
17:13I heard you were teaching children how to read.
17:17Do you 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.
17:41Have a gift for you.
17:42Yeah.
17:50I began writing my own songs.
17:53Although sometimes...
17:54I feel the words are from...
17:57God himself?
17:58Yes.
18:03I wanted you to have this.
18:16The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not be in need.
18:24He makes me lie down in green pastures.
18:28He leads me by still waters.
18:33He restores my soul.
18:42It's beautiful, David.
18:45I 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.
19:12Michal, I...
19:13It was good to see you.
19:15Commander.
19:18I praise Adonai you are safe.
19:44You are avoiding me.
19:46You know how the Philistines have no interest in our marriage, blissful or otherwise.
19:50There are more battles I must fight to be worthy of this.
19:53David.
19:54You 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.
20:14And 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.
20:47When 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.
21:04The 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.
21:31Now, if 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.
21:42In 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 his God of Swords.
22:19If you do, we are all in the past.
22:26It is all in the past.
22:45It is all in the past!
23:14why are you looking at me I've noticed
23:19lately you seem to be fighting more than the enemy and who else would I be
23:23fighting you guys are with God like Jacob in all stories God yes yes I would
23:35fight him if I could find him it's clearly with David
23:47why are we dressed like machines oh I think he's turned us into spice and is
23:54that a problem yes I make a terrible spy
24:07look after things here
24:20good things what is it I don't like that man
24:28and I don't understand why your father trusts him
24:32no we don't trust him but he is useful any animal who attacks on your behalf
24:40will one day attack you
24:42hmm I'm just I'm worried oh are we doing that now what worrying about each
24:51other
24:55oh what is this dinner not this you look so happy it's very upsetting I hear you have
25:04happy news of your own no what is this David and Meraf have set a wedding date
25:20congratulations thank you
25:41the city of Endor refuge for killers renegades deserters and criminals be on guard
26:12whatever you hear or see taking stride do not show offense we need to draw as little attention
26:30as possible
26:31the new commander what are we doing here the merchants from Sidon trying to make a fair profit
26:39on our wares and so you need to know and leave the talking to me
26:44Oh, my God.
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?
27:32Looking for a man.
27:34Blacksmith, the name of God of Swords.
27:38This is his maker's mark.
27:41My friend here, he knows every person and item of value within the city wants.
27:49He'd sell his own daughter for a silver shekel.
27:5525.
27:5675.
27:5750.
27:58And if you argue, you won't live to bargain again.
28:03I see you haven't changed, Avner.
28:06Lord Commander of Israel.
28:09Your mother must be so proud.
28:17I haven't mentioned 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, but the feelings were softer than the finest
28:51silk.
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.
29:15With ease?
29:16Hmm?
29:17Not with ease.
29:19You know, Mother, if I have learned anything from you, it's that love serves no purpose but to make one
29:31weak.
29:34That was never the lesson I intended to teach.
29:37Well, I was never that good at listening.
29:40I'm aware.
29:41Well, I'm aware.
29:45I wanted to give you something.
29:58So you know that I am always with you.
30:04It's beautiful.
30:06You 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.
30:39And I do love you, Father.
30:43Still.
30:47Still.
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.
31:30Except those that are best, though.
31:43Have a second.
31:44Come on.
31:45Let's put a single shekel on the scales and watch your fortune change.
31:50Tonight, the night, copper turns to silver and silver turns to gold.
31:55Brother, this is the greatest day of my life.
32:01Have a shekel?
32:02No. The last time we gambled, you lost my horse.
32:05Brother.
32:07The serpents are hungry.
32:09It would be conspicuous if we didn't.
32:11Thank you, brother. I've doubled your money.
32:14Play your bets now.
32:15I'm not giving that back, are we?
32:17Definitely not.
32:18Place your final bets and mind your distance.
32:24That's him.
32:26Release the serpents.
32:35Yes. Oh, yes. Come on.
32:39No! No!
32:43Hey.
32:45You may be right, Elias. I may be weak-minded.
32:50I would have bet on that one, too.
32:53No, you wouldn't.
32:55No.
32:59God of swords. We'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.
33:21That is a fine sword. There is none like it.
33:26Indeed.
33:28Come with me.
34:08Come. You come. Closer.
34:11Come. You come. Closer.
34:29iron the name itself means hardness and strength why is it so much stronger than bronze

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 your hands.
38:03I've noticed you do that when you're worried.
38:10Do you make a habit of watching every little thing people do?
38:15Only the interesting ones.
38:20It's David.
38:23I 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.
38:39He has my heart.
38:42I fear he always will.
38:48Yawa, will you do something for me?
38:51Anything.
38:54Protect him.
38:58I already am.
39:00Yawa, will you do something for me?
39:15I don't know.
39:16I don't know.
39:17I don't know.
39:18I don't know.
39:18I don't know.
39:20I don't know.
39:28I don't know.
39:29Dyke, you shouldn't be here.
39:31You mean in the servants' area?
39:33We all serve someone.
39:36We both seek opportunities.
39:42You seem unwell.
39:44Shall I summon a guard?
39:47Hmm?
39:48No.
39:48I need to know how the king cured himself of his curse.
39:52And how would I know that?
39:54There are no secrets in this palace that do not find my ears.
40:01I can't help you.
40:03Can't?
40:04Can't or won't?
40:07Need I remind you I am the one who brought you here?
40:10I saved you, Kezia.
40:13I saved myself.
40:16Dyke, I have nothing more to do with you.
40:22I have to speak to the king about the Whisper's eyes.
40:26Perhaps I should speak to him and watch you lose your head.
40:31I've stepped beyond your control, Dyke.
40:35Now it is you who owes your life to my whim.
40:41Shame on you.
40:55Oh, God.
40:56What?
40:57What?
41:00Oh, God.
41:09On your knees, Israelites.
41:13Oh, God.
41:16He got here.
41:18I kneel to God, not to man.
41:31Not a man.
41:33To the priestess of Elf, mistress of Baal, sister of Asherah.
41:39You will kneel to the witch of Eindor.
41:56What?
41:57Oh, God.
41:57What is that?
41:58What is that coming?
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
45:52One day soon
45:54The house of Saul will be defeated
45:56Not from without
46:00It will crumble from within
46:03And you will watch
46:05Helpless
46:08As you draw your last breath
46:36Very impressive
46:37An army carrying such weapons
46:39Will 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 would 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
47:39No?
47:41You'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
48:21I 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
49:11You think too much
49:17Hmm?
49:47Just know
49:49If you are lying about my daughter
49:51I will kill you
49:52Your mother
49:53And your men
49:57Make a thousand Philistine swords
49:59Just to spite you all
50:02You won't get everything you were promised
50:06Men
50:07Hear me
50:11Everything that witch said
50:13Is meant to disturb your mind
50:16To sow distrust and chaos in Israel
50:21Never breathe a word of it to anyone
50:31We must have words
50:34Go on
50:35We are 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
50:47Somehow
50:48Saved all of our lives from that witch
50:50Our brother is a danger to himself
50:52And to the rest of our family
50:53No, Ilya
50:54Your issue is not with David
50:56It's with yourself
50:57Yeah
50:59Open your eyes
51:01So you don't get to be the hero of a family anymore
51:05Too bad
51:08You know who made David the hero?
51:12God did
51:21It's blasphemy
51:23A mere notion of her knowing our destiny
51:26And yet if she was able to see the truth about you
51:28Shh
51:32I will admit
51:34I worry about my own future
51:36Jonathan
51:37None 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
52:01Darkness
52:06We'll ride towards the light
52:14And if there's love to be found
52:17I must embrace it
52:18But I still can
52:20Jonathan
52:22What are you doing here?
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
53:29I will not
53:32Marry me love
53:35I do not wish to defy you
53:37But I know the truth
53:40If she truly loved me and I heard them
53:43Then I would obey you
53:46But I know in my heart
53:47We cannot be together
53:52And if you wish it not that I be with Michal
53:54Then so be it
53:58After all
53:59Who am I?
54:01Let I be sent in law to the king
54:04What are you saying, David?
54:08You choose
54:11To refuse my command
54:16I choose to live in the truth
54:23May the king live forever
54:28David
54:38Son of Jesse
54:46Decisions
54:46Have consequences
54:51So do lies
54:54God
54:55Guides a man's destiny
54:59Do what you must
55:16I choose
55:19Do what you must
55:30To be continued...
