00:36.328 --> 00:39.665
<i>Can one stone change</i>
<i>the course of history?</i>

00:41.125 --> 00:44.253
<i>Can one act of defiance create a legend?</i>

00:46.088 --> 00:50.801
<i>I will tell you the story of David,</i>
<i>a simple shepherd boy,</i>

00:51.427 --> 00:52.553
<i>an outcast,</i>

00:53.053 --> 00:57.475
<i>who became one of the most famous kings</i>
<i>who ever lived.</i>

01:03.230 --> 01:06.108
<i>There was a time Israel had no king.</i>

01:07.067 --> 01:10.738
<i>500 years after Moses split the sea,</i>

01:11.447 --> 01:14.200
<i>the people were leaderless and divided.</i>

01:16.285 --> 01:20.539
<i>So, Samuel, the last of the great seers,</i>

01:21.165 --> 01:26.670
<i>anointed Saul of the tribe of Benjamin</i>
<i>as Israel's first king.</i>

01:27.338 --> 01:32.134
<i>But Samuel warned the people not to forget</i>
<i>the god that delivered them from Egypt.</i>

01:33.886 --> 01:37.640
<i>For 25 years, Saul has reigned,</i>

01:37.723 --> 01:42.561
<i>beloved by the people,</i>
<i>triumphant in every battle.</i>

01:44.063 --> 01:49.860
<i>As Saul's arrogance grows,</i>
<i>a rift between him and Samuel festers.</i>

01:51.028 --> 01:53.072
<i>With each new victory,</i>

01:53.155 --> 01:58.118
<i>the people of Israel</i>
<i>trust more in a throne than in their god.</i>

01:58.202 --> 02:02.331
<i>May the house</i>
<i>of Saul endure forever.</i>

02:02.414 --> 02:04.542
- Forever.
- Forever.

02:07.378 --> 02:10.214


02:26.355 --> 02:27.773
How many are there?

02:27.857 --> 02:29.817
Upwards of 200,000.

02:52.172 --> 02:53.841
He's just a man, Father.

02:55.092 --> 02:55.968
Is he?

02:56.719 --> 03:00.222
How many days must we duress?

03:01.932 --> 03:03.851
Send me your champion!

03:06.061 --> 03:07.396
Cowards!

03:07.479 --> 03:10.316
All of you, cowards!

03:14.194 --> 03:15.571
Goliath!

03:27.499 --> 03:30.336
God give me this ground.

03:31.128 --> 03:32.963
Every step, just one step.

03:33.047 --> 03:35.758
I ask for a champion!

03:35.841 --> 03:38.677
You come against me with a stick?

03:38.761 --> 03:42.431
You will become the victim of my wrath!

03:56.612 --> 03:58.155
Give me another.

04:03.827 --> 04:05.704
Another.

04:20.094 --> 04:21.387
No.

04:30.604 --> 04:36.068
<i>So, as the fate of a people</i>
<i>hangs in the balance,</i>

04:37.069 --> 04:39.488
<i>again I ask this question…</i>

04:43.242 --> 04:47.746
<i>can one stone change</i>
<i>the course of history?</i>

05:20.279 --> 05:21.405
What are you doing?

05:22.072 --> 05:25.951
That's better. It's all right.

06:04.948 --> 06:07.242
Oh, no. Oh.

06:32.476 --> 06:34.436
All right. All right.

06:57.000 --> 06:59.378
Little one, I'm so sorry.

07:02.506 --> 07:03.590
I've got you.

07:06.051 --> 07:08.762
Quiet now. Quiet.

07:23.819 --> 07:26.446
…you will lead. This very land.

07:30.367 --> 07:33.829
Why could Moses not go?
Why did he have to die?

07:33.912 --> 07:36.999
Because when he was very,
very old--

07:37.082 --> 07:40.169
Like you?

07:40.252 --> 07:42.754
Yes, very old like me.

07:42.838 --> 07:49.178
Having led Israel 40 years,
Moses died on that mountain.

07:51.054 --> 07:54.141
Disobedience comes at a cost, you see.

07:54.725 --> 07:57.728
Even for a great one, like Moses.

07:59.354 --> 08:02.608
So what did Joshua do
without Moses?

08:02.691 --> 08:07.988
Well, God said to him three times…

08:08.071 --> 08:14.536
"Be strong and courageous."
Do not fear, for fear is the enemy.

08:14.620 --> 08:15.662
You see?

08:15.746 --> 08:18.582
Fear is the thief.

08:19.625 --> 08:21.627
Then why must we still hide?

08:23.420 --> 08:25.464
Because his work is not yet complete.

08:27.966 --> 08:29.593
That's right, David.

08:31.511 --> 08:32.971
So we must not fear.

08:35.057 --> 08:36.808
We must face fear,

08:37.476 --> 08:42.022
because God will always be there
on the other side waiting.

08:43.148 --> 08:45.692
Aren't you supposed to be minding
the sheep, little shepherd?

08:45.776 --> 08:46.777
I did.

08:47.527 --> 08:48.820
Not well enough.

08:49.780 --> 08:51.323
I saw what you brought home.

08:52.532 --> 08:53.742
The lion has returned.

08:53.825 --> 08:55.827
Oh, a lion. And where were you?

08:57.412 --> 08:58.455
Off…

09:00.249 --> 09:01.250
singing about your mother?

09:01.333 --> 09:03.335
Speak of my mother again.

09:03.418 --> 09:05.754
Nathaneel, David.

09:06.755 --> 09:09.091
Does the story
of our people mean nothing to you?

09:09.174 --> 09:10.634
Forgive us, Father.

09:12.010 --> 09:13.971
I was distracted by the shepherd.

09:23.146 --> 09:24.314
Poor lamb.

09:24.940 --> 09:26.024
She survived.

09:27.484 --> 09:29.152
Does your Father know you have that?

09:30.654 --> 09:32.572
Avva, go inside.

09:34.866 --> 09:37.286
- David.
- Father.

09:38.578 --> 09:39.913
How many did you lose?

09:42.082 --> 09:42.958
Four sheep.

09:43.041 --> 09:44.876
I'm not a rich man, David.

09:47.337 --> 09:48.422
It was the old king.

09:53.010 --> 09:54.177
That lion is dead.

09:55.178 --> 09:56.179
It was him.

09:56.263 --> 09:59.224
Until we truly kill him,
the sheep cannot graze there.

09:59.308 --> 10:00.517
We will lose more.

10:00.600 --> 10:04.521
David, you know I can graze
no other lands.

10:04.604 --> 10:06.398
Then let's gather some men
and hunt it down.

10:07.065 --> 10:08.775
- They wouldn't come.
- Why?

10:13.071 --> 10:14.072
Because of me.

10:14.156 --> 10:15.782
It is not because of you.

10:15.866 --> 10:17.576
All of Bethlehem treats me
like it is.

10:18.285 --> 10:19.703
Just as my brothers do.

10:20.412 --> 10:22.122
I'm nothing more
than a bastard in this house.

10:23.123 --> 10:25.667
You are my son, as they are.

10:27.794 --> 10:28.628
I will kill the lion.

10:29.212 --> 10:31.506
You will not.
I will take care of it.

10:31.590 --> 10:33.091
Like you did last time.

10:34.926 --> 10:36.678
I should've buried that with your mother.

10:37.262 --> 10:39.848
I don't want to hear that instrument
in my house ever again.

10:39.931 --> 10:40.974
Heed my words, David.

10:42.392 --> 10:44.770
Father,
this is all I have left of her.

10:46.313 --> 10:48.231
- Where are you going?
- Where I belong.

10:48.315 --> 10:49.316
David.

10:50.233 --> 10:51.234
David!

11:17.803 --> 11:19.262
Show me your purpose.

11:20.180 --> 11:21.807
Show me your will for me.

11:23.141 --> 11:24.643
Show me who I am.

11:28.063 --> 11:29.064
Please.

11:53.255 --> 11:58.969
The song must be found and tended,
you know, like a living thing.

12:08.687 --> 12:09.771
Now you try.

14:03.677 --> 14:06.263

<i>The last great battle Israel would face</i>

14:06.346 --> 14:09.808
<i>before Goliath was against the Amalekites,</i>

14:09.891 --> 14:15.146
<i>a brutal nation of blood drinkers</i>
<i>who had tormented Israel for generations.</i>

14:21.194 --> 14:24.948
<i>King Saul was instructed</i>
<i>by the great seer, Samuel,</i>

14:25.031 --> 14:27.158
<i>to keep no spoils of war.</i>

14:27.242 --> 14:31.288
<i>To take nothing from the Amalekites</i>
<i>and to slay their king,</i>

14:31.371 --> 14:33.206
<i>a vicious cannibal called Agag.</i>

14:39.045 --> 14:43.008
<i>After days of fighting,</i>
<i>my father, King Saul,</i>

14:43.925 --> 14:48.054
<i>and my brother, Jonathan,</i>
<i>were once again triumphant.</i>

14:48.138 --> 14:49.931
Victory!

14:52.142 --> 14:55.186
For God and for Israel!

14:56.980 --> 14:58.773
And for your king!

15:09.242 --> 15:10.744
My prince.

15:17.167 --> 15:19.044
The Lord has shined upon us this day.

15:19.753 --> 15:21.212
How many did we lose?

15:21.296 --> 15:22.422
5,000.

15:24.966 --> 15:26.092
Heavy price to pay.

15:27.761 --> 15:29.638
But the Amalekites are defeated.

15:33.183 --> 15:35.602
We have news of a border village destroyed
north of Bethlehem.

15:35.685 --> 15:37.896
Border village? By who?

15:37.979 --> 15:40.857
I'm sending a scouting party to find out.

15:41.816 --> 15:43.109
Get me a horse.

15:43.193 --> 15:44.861
My prince, it is a full day's ride

15:45.487 --> 15:47.739
and you have been
on the field of battle for many days.

15:49.783 --> 15:51.034
Take me there.

15:54.746 --> 15:56.498
Let's go to the border village.

15:57.749 --> 15:59.042
Are you tired, Eliab?

15:59.125 --> 16:00.877
No, I am not tired.

16:14.808 --> 16:18.520
While we slay enemies on our right,
our people are attacked on our left.

16:18.603 --> 16:19.646
No defense.

16:20.230 --> 16:21.231
Unarmed.

16:23.525 --> 16:24.526
Who would do this?

16:25.777 --> 16:26.945
Philistines.

16:27.529 --> 16:29.406
Why so deep in our territory?

16:29.489 --> 16:31.408
There's nothing to gain here.

16:33.159 --> 16:35.495
Have any of you
ever seen anything like this?

16:36.121 --> 16:37.330
Eliab?

16:38.081 --> 16:40.417
They have been torn to pieces
without the kindness of a blade.

16:41.042 --> 16:42.877
- How?
- Survivor!

16:46.965 --> 16:48.925
Put him down.

16:49.008 --> 16:50.009
Gently.

16:50.593 --> 16:52.137
He's been through enough.

16:52.220 --> 16:55.807
Boy, this is your prince,
the son of King Saul.

16:56.474 --> 16:58.393
Speak only the truth, all right?

17:04.816 --> 17:06.192
My name is Jonathan.

17:07.360 --> 17:08.361
What is yours?

17:12.031 --> 17:13.283
Can you tell me who did this?

17:13.908 --> 17:15.118
Lord.

17:24.919 --> 17:26.337
Run!

17:26.421 --> 17:28.089
- Run!
- Run!

17:34.929 --> 17:37.557
Abba! Abba! Abba!

17:37.640 --> 17:39.100
- Run.
- Abba!

18:01.956 --> 18:03.333
I am so sorry.

18:06.669 --> 18:08.838
I'm your prince
and I failed to protect you.

18:10.882 --> 18:12.175
It's my job to protect you.

18:13.718 --> 18:15.720
Now, I need you to tell me who did this.

18:17.096 --> 18:23.102
And I swear I will find them
and I will return them to the dust.

18:25.104 --> 18:26.105
Only for you.

19:01.099 --> 19:03.351
There were giants
on the earth in those days.

19:05.395 --> 19:06.855
And also after.

19:25.206 --> 19:26.875
You're getting very good.

19:29.168 --> 19:30.962
Uh, all the sheep are accounted for.

19:31.045 --> 19:31.963
Just as you asked.

19:32.714 --> 19:34.591
I did not come to see the flock.

19:37.594 --> 19:39.512
I apologize for last night.

19:40.597 --> 19:42.015
How I spoke to you.

19:45.143 --> 19:48.313
Your spirit is hers.

19:48.855 --> 19:51.316
A horse that can never be bridled.

19:51.399 --> 19:53.026
Father, why do you keep me in the hills?

19:53.109 --> 19:55.820
- You hide me away like a leper.
- David.

19:55.904 --> 19:57.280
Why not send me to the king's army?

19:57.363 --> 19:58.406
Let me prove myself.

19:58.489 --> 20:01.618
There is no glory to be earned
by serving that king.

20:01.701 --> 20:04.579
- Tell that to Eliab.
- I have. Many times.

20:04.662 --> 20:08.499
So, why do my brothers get to fight
and I'm stuck here?

20:08.583 --> 20:10.084
Because he took them.

20:11.294 --> 20:14.923
And he takes our taxes and our lands,
just as the seer warned.

20:15.006 --> 20:17.050
Israel should never have had a king.

20:17.550 --> 20:19.385
He has taken enough.

20:19.469 --> 20:21.471
I am not going to let him take you.

20:21.554 --> 20:23.181
I don't belong here, Father.

20:23.264 --> 20:24.474
I know I do not.

20:26.225 --> 20:27.727
I was meant for more than this.

20:29.228 --> 20:30.939
How do you know that, David?

20:31.022 --> 20:33.191
Because God speaks to me.

20:33.775 --> 20:38.363
When I'm alone in the hills,
I hear his voice like Mother did.

20:39.072 --> 20:40.073
He tells me--

20:41.240 --> 20:42.283
Avva.

20:50.291 --> 20:51.292
Avva!

20:58.716 --> 20:59.717
Avva!

21:03.137 --> 21:04.764
Oh, no. Avva?

21:05.723 --> 21:07.433
David.

21:13.272 --> 21:14.357
Come here.

21:16.275 --> 21:17.694
You all right?

22:15.376 --> 22:18.004
Why does God judge me?

22:18.671 --> 22:21.007
This demon attacks my home.

22:22.300 --> 22:23.301
David, stop.

22:24.218 --> 22:25.595
You cannot face it alone.

22:25.678 --> 22:27.555
I can and I will.

22:28.723 --> 22:30.850
- For all of us.
- No, wait.

22:31.684 --> 22:32.810
Wait.

22:33.978 --> 22:35.480
I am done waiting.

22:35.563 --> 22:37.065
David, wait!

22:59.796 --> 23:01.297
What about the boy?

23:01.380 --> 23:02.715
He'll stay with me.

23:04.759 --> 23:07.637
My prince, children tell tales.

23:08.304 --> 23:09.931
Nothing spreads like fear.

23:10.014 --> 23:11.224
And this boy--

23:11.307 --> 23:12.767
Hasn't spoken a word.

23:14.352 --> 23:15.353
Go.

23:15.895 --> 23:17.271
Be with your men.

23:17.355 --> 23:18.481
Enjoy your victory.

23:25.321 --> 23:30.993
Bless Gibeah! Bless the house of Saul,
son of Kish,

23:31.077 --> 23:33.454
pride of Benjamin,

23:33.538 --> 23:39.043
who fills our bellies
with the wine of Agag!

24:05.194 --> 24:07.905
Be sure the king's
throne is raised from the ground

24:07.989 --> 24:09.073
a half cubit.

24:09.157 --> 24:10.825
Honestly, Mother, what does it matter?

24:10.908 --> 24:12.535
Every detail matters.

24:13.161 --> 24:15.246
Mychal, put it in.

24:15.329 --> 24:17.373
Your work is meaningful, Sedan.

24:18.207 --> 24:20.084
If only we had you
on the battlefield.

24:20.168 --> 24:21.544
We would have won the first day.

24:21.627 --> 24:23.087
- Jonathan.
- My queen.

24:23.171 --> 24:25.506
The Lord has returned
my son to me.

24:26.632 --> 24:29.802
No injuries?

24:29.886 --> 24:31.429
Not a scratch.

24:32.138 --> 24:33.472
Well, not many.

24:35.057 --> 24:36.100
Jonathan!

24:36.767 --> 24:39.187
- I prayed every day.
- Sister.

24:39.270 --> 24:41.898
- And who's this?
- Jonathan, you cannot save every stray.

24:41.981 --> 24:43.065
I could save this one.

24:43.149 --> 24:44.400
What happened to him?

24:44.483 --> 24:48.112
His entire village was destroyed
on the border. He's the only survivor.

24:48.196 --> 24:50.531
Mychal, those silks are from Egypt.

24:50.615 --> 24:51.490
Mother.

24:51.574 --> 24:52.867
The silks.

24:52.950 --> 24:53.910
What is your name?

24:53.993 --> 24:55.036
Doesn't speak.

24:56.537 --> 24:57.413
Reuben.

24:58.915 --> 25:01.334
Hello, Reuben. Come.

25:01.417 --> 25:02.752
Do you like figs?

25:02.835 --> 25:04.378
I love figs.

25:04.462 --> 25:05.463
How was the journey?

25:05.546 --> 25:07.340
Enough to make me vomit.

25:07.423 --> 25:11.177
Palace games must be
dull indeed if you seek a battlefield.

25:11.928 --> 25:14.555
The perils of the palace
dwarf the perils of the field.

25:14.639 --> 25:16.307
At least here you know
who your enemies are.

25:16.390 --> 25:17.516
Oh, not always.

25:18.267 --> 25:20.686
- Why have you come?
- Father summoned us.

25:20.770 --> 25:22.438
We are here to show unity.

25:23.105 --> 25:26.359
The tribes must be honored
and battles have heroes.

25:26.442 --> 25:28.110
And heroes need brides.

25:28.945 --> 25:30.404
As do princes.

25:36.911 --> 25:39.163
- You have grieved long enough.
- Mother.

25:39.872 --> 25:40.998
I just won a battle.

25:41.666 --> 25:43.334
I do not wish to fight another.

25:45.127 --> 25:47.505
- Where is Father?
- Up on a mountain somewhere.

25:47.588 --> 25:48.631
That one.

25:49.257 --> 25:51.425
Setting up a victory monument.

25:51.509 --> 25:52.510
And Eshbaal?

25:52.593 --> 25:54.845
Surely you will find him
if you follow the plunder.

26:00.434 --> 26:02.937
- How else might I serve you, my prince?
- Hmm.

26:03.521 --> 26:06.941
Well, my cup is full for now but,
uh, stay close.

26:07.692 --> 26:10.653
Appetites replenish quickly.

26:15.741 --> 26:17.576
I have never been so near royalty.

26:18.411 --> 26:20.621
Come.

26:20.705 --> 26:21.706
Sit.

26:24.417 --> 26:26.711
Sit. I don't bite.

26:28.337 --> 26:30.339
Here.

26:34.093 --> 26:36.846
You have such a beautiful face.

26:37.596 --> 26:38.889
Tell me…

26:39.932 --> 26:40.933
what is your name?

26:42.018 --> 26:43.019
Kezia.

26:43.102 --> 26:44.478
Kezia.

26:44.562 --> 26:48.232
If I were to be assigned
to your sister's care…

26:49.233 --> 26:52.611
mmm, you would see much more of me.

26:52.695 --> 26:56.699
Clever girl, aren't you?

26:56.782 --> 26:58.492
Perhaps I could, um,

26:59.744 --> 27:01.078
have that arranged.

27:01.787 --> 27:03.581
Will you be king one day?

27:06.459 --> 27:08.419
I, um…

27:08.502 --> 27:10.713
I much prefer the…

27:10.796 --> 27:14.133
…decadence of power
to the burden of the crown.

27:14.884 --> 27:17.261
- Eshbaal.
- Oh, speaking of burdens.

27:17.345 --> 27:18.763
Lord prince.

27:22.725 --> 27:23.726
Greetings, brother.

27:24.393 --> 27:26.979
You seem distressed.

27:27.063 --> 27:28.022
Did I miss an engagement?

27:28.105 --> 27:29.273
You know too well.

27:30.066 --> 27:31.108
You missed a great battle.

27:31.192 --> 27:33.986
Did I? Battle.

27:34.070 --> 27:37.907
The battle was fought and won by men
with a hunger for blood and conquest.

27:37.990 --> 27:38.991
You had no need of me.

27:39.075 --> 27:41.952
I'm far too young
and cultured for that drama.

27:42.036 --> 27:44.372
Men younger than you fought
and died in that battle.

27:44.455 --> 27:45.873
Good for them.

27:45.956 --> 27:47.792
May God reward their sacrifices.

27:51.587 --> 27:52.546
This was your doing.

27:52.630 --> 27:55.341
Brother, be more specific. I--

27:55.424 --> 27:58.594
You convinced Father
to keep these cursed objects.

28:00.763 --> 28:02.056
Cursed.

28:03.057 --> 28:05.768
They're quite shiny, don't you think?
To be cursed.

28:06.352 --> 28:09.688
Anyway, the king did not raise
any objections so…

28:11.440 --> 28:14.026
Come now, brother.

28:16.404 --> 28:17.905
Revel in our great victory.

28:20.658 --> 28:22.076
It's what you deserve.

28:28.207 --> 28:30.376
Okay.

28:31.419 --> 28:32.670
Suit yourself.

28:32.753 --> 28:34.004
My prince.

28:34.088 --> 28:36.298
Joab and Lord Abner request you.

28:39.093 --> 28:40.094
Run along.

28:41.053 --> 28:42.555
We will speak of this again.

28:42.638 --> 28:43.806
Well, I can't wait.

28:49.562 --> 28:52.565
I can portion you 50 oxen
and 400 sheep.

28:52.648 --> 28:55.359
Why should we be least
among the houses of Israel?

28:55.443 --> 28:56.652
Because you are.

28:56.735 --> 28:57.611
Now go.

28:57.695 --> 29:01.574
Abner, double their portion.

29:01.657 --> 29:03.492
You are not least in my eyes.

29:04.201 --> 29:05.953
May the king live forever.

29:07.496 --> 29:09.540
You give too much.

29:09.623 --> 29:10.624
I am generous.

29:10.708 --> 29:14.003
Loyalty achieved
through commerce is fleeting.

29:14.086 --> 29:19.091
As is youth. But it delights
while it lasts, my old friend.

29:37.359 --> 29:38.486
Father.

29:38.569 --> 29:40.404
Jonathan. My son.

29:40.488 --> 29:41.489
My king.

29:45.951 --> 29:47.328
Quite the stele, no?

29:47.411 --> 29:48.996
And what a great honor.

29:49.079 --> 29:50.372
Defeat of the Amalekites.

29:50.456 --> 29:51.499
More than that.

29:51.582 --> 29:54.168
It will be a memorial of all time.

29:54.251 --> 29:56.128
To the greatness of our house.

29:56.212 --> 29:57.796
The glory of Israel.

29:58.547 --> 29:59.757
Greatness of God.

30:00.257 --> 30:02.510
Our greatness is his greatness.

30:05.763 --> 30:07.223
What of the border village?

30:07.973 --> 30:09.266
Completely destroyed.

30:09.767 --> 30:11.185
- Hmm.
- One survivor.

30:11.268 --> 30:15.064
- A child. Brought him here.
- Destroyed by whom?

30:15.147 --> 30:16.148
Unknown.

30:16.232 --> 30:20.069
Except I saw the print
of a hand larger than a weaver's basket.

30:21.028 --> 30:22.947
And arrows the size of spears.

30:25.324 --> 30:28.953
Giants have not roamed these lands
since the days of Joshua.

30:29.453 --> 30:31.372
Not for hundreds of years.

30:33.040 --> 30:36.043
This is a Philistine trick
to intimidate us.

30:36.126 --> 30:38.254
To terrify us back into caves.

30:39.463 --> 30:40.506
Let us hope.

30:41.674 --> 30:43.759
You are still troubled?

30:45.928 --> 30:48.514
Why are we dividing
the spoils of the blood drinkers?

30:49.807 --> 30:51.058
Slaving their people?

30:52.226 --> 30:53.561
We're told to keep nothing.

30:55.062 --> 30:56.230
By Samuel.

30:56.313 --> 30:57.856
Yes, Father. By Samuel.

30:59.692 --> 31:00.693
Yes.

31:01.443 --> 31:04.321
Son, his time has passed.

31:05.948 --> 31:07.992
The age of judges is over.

31:08.075 --> 31:12.496
This is the age of kings
and we are its stewards.

31:12.580 --> 31:14.915
The first dynasty of Israel.

31:16.125 --> 31:17.543
Well, we should still honor him.

31:18.252 --> 31:19.378
He speaks for God.

31:20.629 --> 31:22.798
Why can God not speak to me?

31:22.881 --> 31:24.049
His anointed.

31:24.842 --> 31:26.427
Anointed by Samuel.

31:30.639 --> 31:32.808
Jonathan.

31:34.310 --> 31:38.439
When you are king someone will
always be angry with you.

31:38.522 --> 31:39.523
Always.

31:40.941 --> 31:42.568
So who should I appease?

31:43.277 --> 31:46.697
The leaders of the 12 tribes,
men who fought for us,

31:47.197 --> 31:49.825
died in service of our throne?

31:50.659 --> 31:51.785
Or one man?

31:54.747 --> 31:56.290
I have no love for these politics.

31:56.373 --> 31:58.542
Life is politics, son.

31:59.460 --> 32:01.462
Even more so on the throne.

32:02.671 --> 32:03.797
Even now.

32:04.757 --> 32:05.758
Come.

32:06.300 --> 32:08.218
We have a celebration to enjoy.

32:20.731 --> 32:22.399
Oh, Saul…

32:26.070 --> 32:27.112
My son…

32:28.614 --> 32:30.574
What have you done?

32:34.536 --> 32:36.163
What have you done?

32:41.085 --> 32:42.795
Does the Lord speak?

32:43.587 --> 32:44.838
We must go.

32:49.218 --> 32:50.219
Where?

32:53.847 --> 32:56.892
To speak the words that were spoken to me.

32:58.811 --> 33:01.980
To unmake what has been made.

33:03.816 --> 33:05.943
Master, wait, your shoes.

33:19.873 --> 33:24.753
Look at all the joy and prosperity
you have brought our people.

33:29.717 --> 33:31.343
Enjoy it.

33:41.228 --> 33:42.229
The king!

34:06.336 --> 34:07.421
Sorry.

34:09.923 --> 34:12.259
Here. Take some of that.

34:13.969 --> 34:16.054
- Yes, Mother?
- Behave.

34:16.138 --> 34:17.055
When do I not?

34:17.139 --> 34:20.517
You have your own wine.

34:20.601 --> 34:22.644
They save
the best wine for the king's table.

34:23.937 --> 34:24.938
But that's… No…

34:25.022 --> 34:27.357
Then you should stay at the king's table.

34:28.317 --> 34:29.610
Please.

34:30.486 --> 34:34.448
Please, please, please, please.

34:35.616 --> 34:36.742
Please.

34:37.284 --> 34:40.662
Sons. My king, my king.

34:40.746 --> 34:42.164
Lord of all Israel.

34:42.247 --> 34:44.458
I am Adriel, son of Barzillai.

34:44.541 --> 34:46.502
Elder of the tribe of Judah.

34:46.585 --> 34:49.254
Greetings, Adriel, son of Barzillai.

34:50.005 --> 34:53.550
Judah has long been a lion
among the sons of Abraham.

34:53.634 --> 34:56.512
Just as Benjamin has produced
a great light in you

34:56.595 --> 34:59.348
for such a small tribe.

35:00.015 --> 35:04.436
The greatest has come
from the least, huh?

35:06.647 --> 35:09.358
When I was young we were scattered,

35:09.441 --> 35:13.904
hiding in caves
from the enemies you have now conquered.

35:13.987 --> 35:18.242
Leaderless, divided,
preyed upon by every neighboring nation.

35:18.826 --> 35:25.582
But the Lord of hosts heard our cry
and blessed us with a king.

35:25.666 --> 35:29.795
Saul, son of Kish,
of the tribe of Benjamin.

35:29.878 --> 35:33.257
And you, Saul, have made us a nation.

35:33.340 --> 35:35.467
You have made us feared.

35:35.551 --> 35:39.930
You have made us wealthy
with the spoils of the Amalekites.

35:41.098 --> 35:44.309
We now feast on their cattle
and drink their wine.

35:44.810 --> 35:50.482
And their mighty King Agag sits
humiliated at your feet.

35:50.566 --> 35:55.779
So the tribe of Judah renews
its pledge of fealty to the anointed

35:56.405 --> 36:02.202
of the Lord Most High,
to the house of Saul, king of all Israel.

36:02.286 --> 36:06.790
May your reign endure for all generations.

36:15.757 --> 36:21.179
I thank Judah for their loyalty
and raise this cup not for myself,

36:22.681 --> 36:23.849
but I raise it

36:25.559 --> 36:26.560
for my son

36:26.643 --> 36:30.647
whose courage
and conviction go before him always.

36:31.356 --> 36:34.276
Whose heart is steadfast.

36:34.359 --> 36:37.696
I pray I am remembered as a good king,

36:37.779 --> 36:40.240
but he will be greater than I.

36:41.074 --> 36:45.913
To your prince and my beloved son.

36:45.996 --> 36:50.417
To Jonathan and his coming reign.

36:50.500 --> 36:53.378
To Jonathan, my beloved brother.

36:54.046 --> 36:55.923
Perfect in every way.

37:00.093 --> 37:01.511
To the house of Saul.

37:47.474 --> 37:52.980
Who can stand against the hero
of Issachar and claim the sword of Agag?

37:53.063 --> 37:56.108
Eliab. Come, fight for the tribe of Judah!

37:57.985 --> 38:00.737
Who will take a bet on Eliab of Judah?

38:05.951 --> 38:06.952
My lord.

38:08.537 --> 38:10.205
Why does the witch king live?

38:13.709 --> 38:17.170
I will not gift him death
without humiliation.

38:19.047 --> 38:21.925
He has tormented our people
for a generation.

38:22.009 --> 38:25.554
His kind have cannibals and sorcerers.

38:26.847 --> 38:28.223
He does not belong here.

38:28.306 --> 38:32.936
He's exactly where he belongs.
Beneath my feet. Powerless.

38:33.687 --> 38:35.647
His presence here,
believe me when I say--

38:35.731 --> 38:37.941
I think you need wine.

38:39.443 --> 38:40.610
Relax.

38:41.737 --> 38:43.071
Place a wager.

39:28.408 --> 39:32.162
Your time is done, blood drinker.

39:33.455 --> 39:35.832
Is it?

39:51.640 --> 39:53.016
Fear is the enemy.

39:54.309 --> 39:55.602
Fear is the thief.

39:59.773 --> 40:02.275
Lion!

40:50.031 --> 40:56.288
On the hill above this feast
I found a stele which reads,

40:56.371 --> 41:02.919
"To the glory of the house of Saul,
he has defeated the Amalekites.

41:04.379 --> 41:06.798
May his fame reach every sea.

41:08.133 --> 41:11.428
May his throne endure for all generations.

41:14.848 --> 41:16.850
To the glory of Saul…"

41:20.145 --> 41:21.938
The glory of Saul.

41:24.274 --> 41:27.861
We have a prophet
of the Most High God in our midst.

41:28.445 --> 41:31.698
Greetings, Samuel, son of Elkanah.

41:32.365 --> 41:36.077
Blessed are you,
seer of the Lord of hosts.

41:36.161 --> 41:40.040
Greetings, Saul, son of Kish,
of the tribe of Benjamin.

41:40.123 --> 41:44.336
The least of the tribes
of Israel has produced a great line.

41:44.419 --> 41:47.088
Have you come to sacrifice with us?

41:47.589 --> 41:50.926
To consecrate this victory
and this day with us?

41:51.009 --> 41:53.261
I've come to speak
the words of the Lord God

41:53.345 --> 41:55.430
spoken to me last night.

41:59.100 --> 42:02.187
We have obeyed the commands of the Lord.

42:05.315 --> 42:08.193
The Amalekites have been
utterly destroyed.

42:12.405 --> 42:13.573
Is it so?

42:16.451 --> 42:19.537
Then why is the bleating
of sheep in my ears? Hmm?

42:20.497 --> 42:22.374
Why the lowing of cattle?

42:23.917 --> 42:24.918
Huh?

42:33.176 --> 42:37.514
Why has filth been brought in
to pollute what is meant to be holy?

42:43.103 --> 42:44.104
Come.

42:44.980 --> 42:46.398
Come, my old friend.

42:46.481 --> 42:48.066
Tonight we celebrate.

42:49.776 --> 42:51.361
We tell the old stories.

42:52.362 --> 42:54.656
We remember the greatness of God.

42:55.573 --> 42:56.574
Come.

43:01.121 --> 43:02.914
Speak with me alone.

43:42.495 --> 43:44.080
Save the sacrifice.

43:44.914 --> 43:48.126
We have sacrificed
thousands of men on the field.

43:48.209 --> 43:49.586
Is that not enough?

43:51.046 --> 43:54.591
Now you come and shame me
in front of the tribes of Israel.

43:55.342 --> 43:56.843
You scold me like a boy.

43:56.926 --> 43:58.845
I anointed a boy.

43:59.387 --> 44:01.598
Humble in his own eyes.

44:01.681 --> 44:05.310
As king, I am what you made me.

44:05.393 --> 44:06.728
I wept for you, Saul.

44:06.811 --> 44:09.439
In rage and tears all night.

44:11.024 --> 44:15.987
I pleaded with the Lord of all Heaven
but he would not relent.

44:16.071 --> 44:18.990
Now I must speak as he has spoken.

44:19.074 --> 44:21.076
Convenient, is it not?

44:21.785 --> 44:25.789
How am I to know the difference between
the words of the Most High

44:26.581 --> 44:30.085
and the rumblings of a jealous old man?

44:33.713 --> 44:35.298
I loved you like a son.

44:36.049 --> 44:38.635
And yet, your sons did not love you.

44:41.638 --> 44:43.681
They did not follow in your ways.

44:43.765 --> 44:46.059
Is that not why the people demanded
a king?

44:46.142 --> 44:47.310
All right, Saul,

44:49.187 --> 44:52.565
I will tell you what
the Lord God of Israel has said to me.

44:54.859 --> 44:56.069
Speak.

44:58.863 --> 45:01.074
"I regret I made Saul king.

45:02.075 --> 45:03.868
He has turned his back on me

45:05.078 --> 45:07.372
and has not followed my command."

45:41.156 --> 45:42.240
Mychal.

45:44.200 --> 45:45.743
What have we done?

45:46.369 --> 45:48.788
I obeyed the voice of the Lord.

45:48.872 --> 45:51.458
I utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

45:51.541 --> 45:53.168
Yet Agag lives.

45:53.251 --> 45:55.462
Chained beneath my table like a dog.

45:55.545 --> 45:58.089
You were told to slay him.

46:00.467 --> 46:04.637
I built a kingdom from nothing,
from scattered tribes.

46:06.139 --> 46:08.224
Why is this not enough?

46:08.308 --> 46:11.853
You built a kingdom?

46:13.146 --> 46:14.147
You?

46:20.987 --> 46:26.534
Saul, when you were small in your own eyes
the Lord lifted you up and made you king.

46:26.618 --> 46:32.123
Now that you are great in your own eyes
you have rebelled

46:32.207 --> 46:35.877
and made yourself even
in the eyes of the Lord.

46:35.960 --> 46:37.420
Even?

46:37.504 --> 46:41.758
You have twisted
the throne of Israel to your own glory

46:41.841 --> 46:47.972
so you will be given
to a twisted power and your own torment.

46:48.598 --> 46:51.142
Your mind will be cursed.

46:51.226 --> 46:53.061
Get out of my head, sorcerer.

46:53.144 --> 46:55.063
I am no sorcerer.

46:58.650 --> 47:00.860
I am a messenger only.

47:01.986 --> 47:03.363
Samuel.

47:04.697 --> 47:06.658
I was afraid of the people.

47:09.077 --> 47:11.788
I kept back the best to sacrifice.

47:13.456 --> 47:15.291
I-I would sacrifice them all.

47:15.375 --> 47:19.003
To obey is better than sacrifice,

47:19.087 --> 47:22.549
to heed better than the fat of the rams.

47:23.299 --> 47:27.053
Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,

47:27.136 --> 47:31.057
stubbornness is as inequity and idolatry.

47:31.140 --> 47:32.725
I was afraid of them.

47:32.809 --> 47:36.187
Why? Why would you be afraid
of the people?

47:36.271 --> 47:39.816
Why are you not afraid
of God instead of man?

47:42.277 --> 47:45.530
I loved you.

47:53.663 --> 47:55.206
I anointed you.

47:59.669 --> 48:00.753
Bless me.

48:02.380 --> 48:04.090
Sacrifice with me.

48:04.924 --> 48:07.552
You chose me as a king.
You are a father to me.

48:07.635 --> 48:09.262
God chose you.

48:09.345 --> 48:11.514
Now he chooses another

48:11.598 --> 48:14.809
because you have rejected
the word of the Lord your God,

48:14.892 --> 48:19.731
so the Lord your God
now rejects you as king.

48:21.899 --> 48:24.235
His spirit is withdrawn from you.

48:26.362 --> 48:30.742
This is my kingdom and my son's after me.

48:31.409 --> 48:32.619
Jonathan will rule.

48:33.328 --> 48:34.704
He will never rule.

48:34.787 --> 48:36.456
Samuel.

48:42.003 --> 48:48.551
The Lord has torn a kingdom from
you and given it to one greater than you.

48:49.052 --> 48:50.261
Who is he?

48:57.560 --> 48:58.561
Samuel?

49:01.773 --> 49:03.107
Samuel?

49:05.234 --> 49:07.445
Samuel!

49:09.197 --> 49:11.449
Samuel!

49:19.707 --> 49:21.376
I'm sorry, my child.

49:21.459 --> 49:24.379
Samuel!

49:24.462 --> 49:25.546
Father, what happened?

49:25.630 --> 49:28.132
- Samuel!
- Father. What happened?

49:28.216 --> 49:29.509
Get away from me!

49:29.592 --> 49:32.387
Get away!

49:39.227 --> 49:40.645
Samuel.

49:44.941 --> 49:46.234
Father.

49:49.153 --> 49:50.363
Help!

49:52.073 --> 49:53.282
Help me!

50:34.365 --> 50:36.868
I'm tired of being afraid.

50:40.037 --> 50:44.083
God said to Joshua,
"Be strong and courageous.

50:45.835 --> 50:47.170
Do not fear."

51:15.865 --> 51:20.369
Why have the gods come to this place?

51:20.995 --> 51:23.122
The God of gods has come.

51:23.206 --> 51:30.171
Surely
the wrath of Saul has passed.

51:33.424 --> 51:36.469
The wrath of Saul has passed.

51:38.554 --> 51:41.599
But the wrath of God has not.

51:47.897 --> 51:51.317
As your sword has made women childless,

51:51.400 --> 51:57.365
so shall your mother be childless
for all time.

52:39.282 --> 52:42.910
God is not mocked.

53:25.786 --> 53:29.206
Master, where are we going now?

53:34.754 --> 53:36.505
To find a king.

54:05.534 --> 54:09.372
<i>So can one stone change</i>
<i>the course of history?</i>

54:12.917 --> 54:15.252
<i>Yes, it can.</i>

54:16.587 --> 54:18.756
<i>But destiny comes at a cost.</i>

54:19.757 --> 54:25.137
<i>And the rise of David would cost</i>
<i>my family everything.</i>
