00:15Previously on the House of David.
00:17Fight with me!
00:26Tell David I'm sorry I doubted him.
00:30You have been planning the takeover of my throne.
00:35This offer of marriage is over.
00:36I'm sorry.
00:43You and I are the only two of our line who will survive.
00:46We are Israel's only hope.
00:47You must crown me king.
00:51They're running away.
00:54Victory!
00:56Giant slayer!
00:58Father, there is no one more worthy for us to honor.
01:01My sword is now yours.
01:05Gans, arrest the seer.
01:07This is finished, Samuel.
01:09No, Saul.
01:11It is just beginning.
01:21History will tell you that the House of Saul was defeated by his enemies.
01:26Others will tell you that there was never supposed to be a king in Israel.
01:31And for this reason, God forsook him.
01:36But I will tell you that the House divided against itself cannot stand.
01:43And my father was not defeated from without.
01:46He was overthrown from within.
01:50From the one closest to him.
01:52The one he trusted.
01:55The one he trusted.
01:56The one I loved.
02:04Avon, what troubles him?
02:07Many things have trouble the king.
02:08I'm sure seeing you will remedy them.
02:31It is you, isn't it?
02:40My king, I loved you, trusted you, and still you betrayed me.
02:52My king, I am loyal to you, as I always have been.
03:08Loyal are you, no more deception, speak the truth, that some will choose you.
03:23I can please just sit down.
03:25Did he choose you? Did he? Did someone choose you?
03:31No. No.
03:38God chose me.
03:39God!
03:41God!
03:49God!
03:59God!
04:02God!
04:05God!
05:30I understand.
05:32And mother,
05:34he will too.
05:36We did this out of necessity.
05:41It will be shock enough for him to see a return from exile.
05:44Now I will decide when it's best to tell him.
05:52The giant with a single stone!
06:03Now, there are any doubts if God is still with us.
06:07Let this be a message to us all.
06:11God has given us the victory!
06:20Would you like to meet the giant slayer?
06:25David!
06:26David of the tribe of Judah.
06:29Simple shepherd.
06:31Musician.
06:32Now,
06:33champion for all of Israel!
06:36Simple!
06:53From this day forward,
06:56you will join the house of Saul.

14:53Do not tell my family.
14:55My father is finally stable.
14:57I will not be the one to trouble him.
14:59Let me see.
15:05I know of a healer.
15:07He's in the hills of Iber.
15:10I was often injured before I served your family.
15:13He saved me from death more than once.
15:19Take me there.
15:20Come on.
15:22I don't know.
16:12I don't know.
16:22I don't know.
16:27I don't know.
16:30I don't know.
17:03I don't know.
17:06I don't know.
17:13I don't know.
17:21I don't know.
17:35I don't know.
17:39I don't know.
17:49I don't know.
18:27I don't know.
18:33I don't know.
18:34I don't know.
18:41I don't know.
18:49I don't know.
19:15I don't know.
19:31I don't know.
19:46I don't know.
19:50I don't know.
20:08I don't know.
20:10I don't know.
20:37I don't know.
20:48I don't know.
21:04I don't know.
21:10I don't know.
21:37I don't know.
21:47I don't know.
21:51I don't know.
21:54I don't know.
22:05I don't know.
22:34I don't know.
22:37I don't know.
22:38I don't know.
22:39I don't know.
22:39I don't know.
22:39I don't know.
22:40I do know.
22:42You have no reason to trust me
22:44but I have spent years perfecting this tool.
22:48After my brother died of an arrow wound like this.
22:52It's your life.
22:54I believe I can save it if you let me die.
22:59Do it.
23:01All right.
23:14No!
23:50All the men.
23:53Good men, dead before their time, noble causes and service to God, and yet here I am and they are
24:04not.
24:05And I, oh, I am left haunted to tell their families that their beloved will never return.
24:22Of all the wounds I bear from all the battles I have fought, none scarred me so much as this.
24:30And this time, it is our family who grieves.
24:46His last words were for you, David.
24:51He was proud of you.
24:57As am I.
25:06Aliyev, there are things I must tell you.
25:24Ali, you're there.
25:28What is this?
25:33Come on.
25:35What business do you have with us?
25:37We are in mourning.
25:39Sorry, Jesse.
25:40But we've come to escort David back to the palace.
25:44Escort?
25:47I don't understand.
25:49You haven't told them?
25:50Told us what?
25:51What?
25:55King Saul has made your son a royal commander of a thousand men, including me.
26:01You as well, Eliab.
26:05Eliab.
26:06No.
26:08Eliab.
26:10Eliab, listen.
26:11Stop.
26:12Stop!
26:12Eliab, your commander is giving an order.
26:15Let him make me stop.
26:16Eliab!
26:17Yoav, it's all right.
26:19Eliab, wait.
26:20Listen to me.
26:22Eliab.
26:24Eliab, let me talk to you.
26:27As you rise, we fall.
26:30Right, little brother?
26:31I did not choose this.
26:33And yet you embrace it.
26:34I am doing what disaster means.
26:36I have struggled for years to free our family from the burden that you have brought on us.
26:40I know.
26:43So let me do my part.
26:46Why can you not accept that?
26:48Why?
26:49Why?
26:51You want to know why?
26:56Eliab!
26:57Oh, damn.
26:58That is why.
27:05Your leader.
27:08Get up.
27:10Look at him.
27:12Our great commander.
27:15I'm just...
27:16Eliab!
27:18You want to be a leader?
27:20Stand up and fight me.
27:23What are you going to do without your sling, giant slayer?
27:32Eliab?
27:33I'm sorry.
27:34I want to...
27:39David, stay down.
27:58You have stopped him.
28:00Come on.
28:01Command me now, little brother.
28:02Command me now!
28:05Eliab!
28:12You are no warrior.
28:14You are just a boy who had one lucky shot.
28:17We buried our brother today.
28:20And with you in command, we will bury thousands more.
28:23So no, I will not follow you.
28:27Eliab.
28:27If that is enough, leave him.
28:34Go!
28:35Go!
28:36Go!
28:53Go!
29:05I am not sure what I am doing.
29:07I am not sure what I am doing.
29:11I am not sure what I am doing.
29:28Go ahead.
29:30Do what you need to do.
29:38Ready?
29:44Breathe.
29:45Good.
29:47Good.
29:48Tell me about Naomi.
29:51You kept saying her name mostly.
29:54Jonathan.
29:57Tell me about her.
30:00She had my heart.
30:04I was only 20.
30:08Victorious.
30:09In my first battle at Mi'kma'k.
30:14But while I was gone, the sickness ravaged her entire family.
30:21When I returned home, I found they'd already buried her.
30:29I've always carried the guilt that I wasn't there with her.
30:36I'm sorry.
30:38I must go again.
30:45Oh, I feel something.
31:01I feel like I was not there.
31:16Yet I'll thee, a child.
31:26I worry for you, I know.
31:29What?
31:31I am not the one bound and alone.
31:34Are you not?
31:38I didn't come here to argue.
31:41Then why are you here?
31:53I don't know.
31:57How we.
32:00Saul has redeemed himself.
32:02A great victory.
32:05Amends have been made.
32:09May God not see that.
32:12This is all.
32:16To the very core.
32:18Of who we are.
32:21Just because there is a great victory without does not mean there is one within.
32:28Are you saying Saul hasn't changed?
32:30I'm not saying anything at all that is not my function.
32:41When I was young, a terrible storm hit our village.
32:51My sweet sister.
32:56We found her by the river bank.
33:01Marched her by the flood.
33:03No sign of life.
33:04And so, I prayed.
33:14I prayed.
33:16I prayed.
33:21And then the miracle, she gasped and came back from the dead.
33:30If God can do that, take someone, give them back.
33:43Surely, he can undo this.
33:49He can.
33:56But he has not.
34:20I will come back later.
34:22No.
34:22What?
34:25You want to play hounds and jackals?
34:30Sure.
34:32Why not?
34:36You want wine?
34:38No.
34:39No, it clouds the senses.
34:49Ish, what happened to you?
34:53I will tell you all, Meraf.
34:58I just need time.
35:03At least tell me this.
35:05Will my rebellious brother ever return?
35:08Rebellion takes many forms.
35:10Ugh.
35:11Fun, brother, then?
35:12It's been dreadfully dull without you.
35:17I'm still here, Meraf.
35:22Now go.
35:24It's your move.
35:28So, I hear father ripped a wedding from you.
35:35That's right.
35:36Jordan from Judah.
35:38Really.
35:39He's not so bad.
35:41No?
35:41Was Meraf in love?
35:43No, I was not in love.
35:45I didn't know him.
35:50But I did like him.
35:54And you know it was nice, for a moment, to imagine a life, and a decent man, perhaps
36:04could be happy.
36:07Happy?
36:09You?
36:11Right.
36:12I should have known better.
36:15None of it was meant for me.
36:16It was for Michal.
36:18Perhaps for good reason.
36:20She is wonderful.
36:23And I always manage to ruin everything.
36:27That's what I'm known for.
36:30Why do you do that?
36:32Why do you put yourself down?
36:36Maybe Jonathan and Michal get everything they want, because they believe they deserve it.
36:41While you and I have remained shackled by our belief that we are forever unworthy.
36:46We are worthy.
36:48Meraf, we always have been.
36:50And if you truly believed that, what would you ask for?
37:02Pyro.
37:03Vw.
37:05I have waited for this moment.
37:10Who are you?
37:12Who am I?
37:14I am Doeg and Edomai.
37:20But you are no stranger to me.
37:23I've been tasked to discover the name of the Anointed One.
37:28Even if it takes your life as it did your apprentice.
37:35What was his name, your apprentice?
37:39I only remember his screams.
37:45Selas was his name.
37:48Selas.
37:49Tell me, is it true you've never cut your hair?
37:54That it is somehow sacred to your God?
38:00Perhaps we should start there.
38:04There is another name.
38:08Hmm?
38:09Another name you dream of often.
38:15Timna.
38:21What?
38:22What did you say?
38:25Timna, your mother's name.
38:28You see, you are not so unknown to me and to God as you think when your mother, Timna, died
38:43by your father's hand.
38:46You coward, did you not?
38:50You coward, did you not?
38:51Beneath the stairs.
38:56How would you know that?
38:57How would you know that?
39:21Uh-huh.
39:21If you are dead?
39:22You samurai, you are dead, and to me.
39:28I can't face you.
39:41Before the end of our eyes, you will be murdered.
39:42You are dead.
39:50You are dead.
39:51What is this place?
39:54You are trapped in the dead you brought to so many others.
40:02And then you shall live.
40:08God has given us the victory and blessed us with a new son and champion.
40:16A simple shepherd, just as I was.
40:22Yes.
40:25A great victory.
40:28But do you really think David is capable of commanding an army?
40:34It is wise to use David to unite our people.
40:38They love him. He inspires them.
40:41He inspires me.
40:42You inspire them.
40:48You.
40:53Perhaps it is wise to wait.
40:56Wait?
40:58With a wedding announcement.
41:00Give David more time to better prove himself.
41:04Prove himself?
41:06More so than killing a giant?
41:10We were ready to marry Mikhalov to one of Adriel's boys without proving themselves.
41:18Adriel is a powerful leader and a necessary alliance.
41:24David is the bastard child of a commoner.
41:29Noam, I have made my decision.
41:33Why must you challenge me?
41:40We don't need any more, why?
41:43Leave us.
42:03You don't believe in David.
42:07You do not believe in me.
42:08Of course I believe in you.
42:13Come.
42:15Sit with me.
42:20My king.
42:21There is something you need to see.
42:23What is it, Amna?
42:25Please, come.
42:30He is not responding to anyone.
42:33My theory is trapped as you were.
42:38And Samuel.
42:41Gone.
42:42What fool order do I have to threaten the prophet?
42:46And why was I not made aware of this?
42:51I was hoping the threat wouldn't be necessary.
42:55Better to keep your hands clean of it.
42:58Find Samuel.
42:59At once.
43:14David.
43:16Don't worry.
43:18I'm sure his hands fit more than your face.
43:24Eliav, is there something you want to say to your brother?
43:27That's Jonathan's sword.
43:29Yes.
43:30He gave it to me.
43:38Ava.
43:44Take care of those sheep for me.
43:47And Saba too.
43:48Promise.
44:00When will you return?
44:03I've been claimed into the king's family.
44:07So...
44:08Not for a while.
44:10I'm going to marry Princess Michal.
44:12I think that...
44:14Through our reunion...
44:15I will find my way to the throne in peace.
44:18I hope you are right.
44:20I'm going to marry Princess Michal.
44:21David.
44:22I never believed Israel should have a king.
44:26But...
44:26If it is indeed God's will...
44:29I am glad it will be you.
44:34Promise me...
44:36You will stay safe.
44:38If...
44:39The Lord is with me.
44:41The Lord is with you.
45:05The Lord is with you.
45:10David.
45:11Wow.
45:12That is your horse.
45:13Mm-hmm.
45:14I have the feeling your new command is going to bring me the attention on many fine ladies.
45:19You want to ride back?
45:20I have the offering.
45:21No.
45:22We would rather walk.
45:29Let's go.
45:36No.
45:44You want to walk?
45:46Yes, I want to walk.
46:08No.
46:09No.
46:10No.
46:16No.
46:16No.
46:17...
46:26...
46:37you're off an unexpected surprise I couldn't sleep you are my daughter indeed come sit
46:55you want wine it clouds the senses yes isn't that the point
47:04what is bothering you nightmares of the battle no
47:15when you tore a life away from me a marriage it was truly painful
47:28I thought you saw how happy I was
47:34my sweet you know it was not myself
47:49there is a way in which I could serve this kingdom and this house
48:09I can find the king of Israel
48:12I can find the god of Israel
48:21so
48:27so
48:50The sword.
48:52I fear it is cursed.
48:54I do not want it near the king.
48:56You take it to Nob?
48:59You hide it with the other sacred objects, yes?
49:02Yes, Commander.
49:03You tell Nob?
49:06Go on.
49:34Hello, Father.
49:35Hello, my son.
49:36What is this?
49:38This is something which is not supposed to be seen.
50:07Good morning.
50:10You look so much better.
50:14How are you feeling, brother?
50:18What are you doing here?
50:21Kezia was concerned.
50:22Don't worry.
50:23I will keep your secret.
50:26Ishpal sat by your side all night, waiting for your fever to break.
50:31Perhaps he was just waiting for me to die.
50:34See, I told you, he'll never trust me.
50:39Did my brother charm you all night?
50:41He's good at that.
50:42He only spoke of you.
50:45How much you've done for your family.
50:50Well, I should be getting back to the palace.
50:52Slowly.
50:55I'm fine.
50:57Stay here.
51:07Thank you for saving my life.
51:11And, uh...
51:12Well, for your company.
51:17Uh, it's, uh...
51:20It's clear you're not fully recovered.
51:23Perhaps, Sara, you should return with us to the palace as the prince's personal leader.
51:30I don't know if...
51:31Oh, I would appreciate your care and expertise.
51:37I'm sorry, but this is my home.
51:40I'm needed here.
51:43Of course.
51:45I'll fetch you some supplies.
51:53Well, I had to try.
51:56I'm just happy to see you look at a woman again.
51:59Mmm.
52:14See this thing?
52:16Thank you so much.
52:31Stand back
52:36Stand back
52:37Stand back
52:38You alright?
52:41My father's gathered everyone in the swim room
52:45A special announcement
52:47Come
53:18My king

53:20For allowing me to return home and greet my brother
53:24David

53:28Are you ready now to commit to this house?
53:31To being a commander of men
53:33To dedicating your very life in service of your king
53:43I know in my heart
53:45My place is here
53:51I accept your vow
53:53And as a gift
53:57I offer you
53:59My beautiful daughter in marriage
