WEBVTT

00:19.520 --> 00:21.105
<i>Previously on</i> House of David<i>…</i>

00:21.188 --> 00:23.691
To the house of Saul, king of all Israel.

00:23.774 --> 00:24.900
<i>The lion has returned.</i>

00:24.984 --> 00:26.986
And where were you?
Off… singing about your mother?

00:27.069 --> 00:28.446
<i>What of the border village?</i>

00:28.529 --> 00:31.240
<i>I saw the print of a hand</i>
<i>larger than a weaver's basket</i>.

00:31.323 --> 00:33.743
Samuel, tonight we celebrate.

00:33.826 --> 00:36.912
<i>You have twisted</i>
<i>the throne to your own glory.</i>

00:36.996 --> 00:39.290
<i>So God chose you as king,</i>

00:39.373 --> 00:41.208
now he chooses another.

00:41.292 --> 00:42.877
- I will kill the lion.
- You cannot face it alone.

00:44.086 --> 00:45.921
I can and I will.

00:59.602 --> 01:03.063
- It's too early.
No, we're here just in time.

01:03.773 --> 01:06.859
And this will not
happen for another 28 years.

01:06.942 --> 01:10.613
When the alignment of the sun
and moon and the stars

01:10.696 --> 01:14.366
are just as they were
at the dawn of creation.

01:14.450 --> 01:16.160
Look, David.

01:16.786 --> 01:18.204
The sun is rising.

01:18.287 --> 01:20.915
You remember it? The Birkat Hachamah?

01:23.334 --> 01:24.543
Just follow along.

01:52.655 --> 01:55.908
You should not be here. Neither of you.

01:56.700 --> 01:59.370
You and your child
defile the name of Jesse

01:59.870 --> 02:01.539
and all of Bethlehem.

02:05.668 --> 02:07.002
You stay here, okay?

02:11.882 --> 02:16.011
Perhaps you have heard, I see things.

02:17.179 --> 02:18.430
Visions.

02:19.306 --> 02:21.767
And would you like to know
what I have seen?

02:23.686 --> 02:28.148
History will know my son's name
long after yours is forgotten.

02:29.024 --> 02:30.818
How dare you?

02:31.527 --> 02:32.862
Come, David.

02:37.283 --> 02:38.492
Am I a curse?

02:39.034 --> 02:40.286
No, David.

02:40.369 --> 02:43.747
You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

02:47.459 --> 02:48.460
Son.

02:50.421 --> 02:53.340
Quiet yourself and listen.

02:53.966 --> 02:55.217
What do you hear?

02:58.178 --> 02:59.179
Nothing.

02:59.805 --> 03:01.140
Close your eyes

03:02.975 --> 03:04.184
and listen closer.

03:05.185 --> 03:07.521
Not just with your ears,
but with your soul.

03:09.273 --> 03:11.025
Deep calls to deep.

03:11.650 --> 03:15.154
And in the still and quiet
you will hear God.

03:15.237 --> 03:16.238
Listen to him.

03:16.322 --> 03:18.449
He will tell you who you are, not them.

03:30.377 --> 03:31.378
I hear nothing.

03:33.964 --> 03:35.174
You will.

03:38.802 --> 03:41.055
Brothers,
can I play with you?

03:43.724 --> 03:45.768
Eliab, wait for me!

03:54.568 --> 03:56.528
Not beyond the wall, David.

03:56.612 --> 03:57.947
I know.

03:58.030 --> 03:59.907
- David…
- I know.

04:23.722 --> 04:26.183
Deep calls to deep.

04:32.189 --> 04:33.607
Show me who I am.

04:58.924 --> 05:01.176
Stay very still, David.

05:06.390 --> 05:10.644
He will sense your fear. Understand?

05:16.859 --> 05:18.110
Calm your breath.

05:21.613 --> 05:22.698
And David…

05:25.576 --> 05:26.577
my son…

05:30.664 --> 05:34.001
I love you with all my heart.

05:35.252 --> 05:36.253
<i>Ima…</i>

05:43.886 --> 05:46.638
<i>Ima. Ima</i>, no!

05:47.222 --> 05:48.557
<i>Ima,</i> no!

05:48.640 --> 05:50.768
- <i>Ima</i>, wait. No!
- Run, David! Run!

05:51.852 --> 05:53.020
No, <i>Ima!</i>

05:57.608 --> 05:59.526
Nitzevet!

06:11.914 --> 06:12.915
David.

06:16.752 --> 06:18.045
Nitzevet!

06:18.128 --> 06:19.630
What have you done, David?

06:28.806 --> 06:30.766
It's all right, my darling. It's all…

06:31.350 --> 06:32.351
It's all right.

06:41.777 --> 06:44.822
David, your mother asks for you.

06:44.905 --> 06:46.824
David, come.

06:48.408 --> 06:49.409
Come.

06:51.829 --> 06:56.542
I fear that life
will be so very hard for you.

06:59.336 --> 07:02.965
I won't be here to protect you.

07:03.048 --> 07:05.467
No, you will be better. You will.

07:07.427 --> 07:10.389
He calls to me.

07:12.015 --> 07:16.061
I know it. I know it to be so.

07:18.313 --> 07:22.693
He showed me what you would become.

07:25.571 --> 07:26.989
What?

07:27.072 --> 07:28.407
Remember…

07:31.160 --> 07:32.578
David…

07:32.661 --> 07:33.662
<i>Ima.</i>

07:35.247 --> 07:38.041
- Come, David. David, come.
- No. Remember what? No.

07:38.125 --> 07:41.670
- <i>Ima</i>, no. No. Please.
- David, come. Son.

07:42.546 --> 07:44.673
Stay. Stay here.

07:44.756 --> 07:46.049
You stay here.

08:09.990 --> 08:13.118
Your mother is no more.

08:18.081 --> 08:20.375
Go to the east field. Keep the sheep.

08:20.459 --> 08:21.501
Why?

08:22.544 --> 08:25.297
Because to grieve,
I can no longer look upon you.

08:25.797 --> 08:27.549
- Go.
- I want to see her.

08:28.550 --> 08:30.010
Leave this house.

08:30.093 --> 08:33.388
- No, I want to see <i>Ima.</i>
- Leave this house!

08:36.141 --> 08:37.142
Go!

08:37.643 --> 08:40.479
Tend the sheep. Go.

09:21.478 --> 09:24.147
Please,
I am asking for your help.

09:24.231 --> 09:25.983
I know everyone here.

09:26.066 --> 09:27.526
Please, I beg of you.

09:27.609 --> 09:29.820
I don't want to.

09:29.903 --> 09:31.738
<i>Saba</i>, look. Look!

09:32.614 --> 09:33.615
Huh?

09:37.452 --> 09:39.246
It's the boy. David?

09:41.873 --> 09:42.958
It's true.

09:46.837 --> 09:48.046
My son.

09:49.548 --> 09:50.632
My son.

09:53.135 --> 09:54.177
Are you all right?

10:04.104 --> 10:05.480
When will you learn?

10:06.481 --> 10:07.983
Do not defy me again.

10:31.673 --> 10:33.050
He won't scare you anymore.

11:38.115 --> 11:39.533
Father?

11:39.616 --> 11:40.867
My child.

11:42.869 --> 11:44.329
How long have I been sleeping?

11:45.664 --> 11:49.334
I will fetch the others,
all right?

11:50.210 --> 11:51.461
I'll be quick.

12:10.981 --> 12:13.984
Father has awakened. Again.

12:14.568 --> 12:17.612
He seems more like himself this time.

12:19.906 --> 12:20.949
I will alert the queen.

12:28.999 --> 12:30.000
Mychal.

12:31.793 --> 12:32.794
Speak to me.

12:34.463 --> 12:35.464
Hmm?

12:36.798 --> 12:40.594
Uh, his… screams.

12:41.970 --> 12:44.931
It's as… as if he were being burnt alive.

12:47.225 --> 12:49.186
I cannot purge them from my mind.

12:50.979 --> 12:52.147
Please.

12:53.482 --> 12:54.483
Another time.

12:59.488 --> 13:01.031
What did Samuel do to him?

13:02.407 --> 13:03.408
I don't know.

13:05.285 --> 13:10.999
What I tell you now cannot be known,
not by anyone.

13:14.127 --> 13:20.091
Samuel intends to anoint another
as he anointed me.

13:23.762 --> 13:28.141
My love, you have been in fever,
dreaming many things.

13:28.225 --> 13:30.810
He told me as clearly as I talk to you.

13:32.687 --> 13:36.525
Only then did I fall into darkness.

13:37.150 --> 13:38.485
But that is treason.

13:39.069 --> 13:41.238
Why would you allow
Samuel to leave?

13:41.905 --> 13:43.990
Samuel's power is not of this world.

13:44.074 --> 13:45.909
My blade would do nothing.

13:50.038 --> 13:53.375
You have been anointed three times.

13:55.377 --> 13:57.754
The people, they revere you.

13:59.214 --> 14:00.966
People revere Samuel also.

14:08.390 --> 14:09.391
Abner.

14:12.727 --> 14:13.728
Find him.

14:16.231 --> 14:17.649
Have him followed.

14:18.733 --> 14:20.819
Bring me the one he anoints.

14:26.116 --> 14:27.117
It shall be done.

14:40.463 --> 14:42.674
I have asked many things
of you over the years.

14:44.175 --> 14:46.261
The one Samuel anoints,

14:47.887 --> 14:52.017
he must be slain
along with everyone in his household.

14:53.310 --> 14:56.938
Any sign of weakness in our house

14:57.022 --> 14:59.649
is ammunition for the Philistines.

15:00.275 --> 15:01.276
You understand?

15:11.161 --> 15:12.245
Whom do you serve?

15:15.665 --> 15:17.375
How could you ask me that?

15:18.835 --> 15:19.919
Say it.

15:22.714 --> 15:24.591
I serve the house of Saul.

15:38.396 --> 15:43.068
…the gods.
Hand me the strength of my ancestors.

15:54.371 --> 15:57.165
My king.
They have arrived.

16:04.089 --> 16:06.841
<i>Greetings,</i>
<i>brother kings of Philistia.</i>

16:06.925 --> 16:08.718
<i>I have long dreamed of this day</i>

16:09.344 --> 16:13.014
where the five of us would find cause
to assemble instead of fight.

16:13.098 --> 16:15.183
Enough of this.
Why have you brought us here?

16:17.268 --> 16:19.437
The Hebrews have destroyed
the house of Amalek.

16:20.271 --> 16:21.731
This cannot be.

16:21.815 --> 16:22.857
Yet it is.

16:23.692 --> 16:25.819
Fortune has turned in Saul's favor.

16:25.902 --> 16:29.781
Saul is the king of donkeys.
The Hebrew tribes are nothing.

16:29.864 --> 16:34.953
Yet Agag, with chariots,
idols and countless men,

16:35.036 --> 16:37.997
has been swallowed
by the hands of those tribes of nothing.

16:39.165 --> 16:40.208
Rumors.

16:40.291 --> 16:42.043
So we fortify our cities.

16:42.127 --> 16:43.128
No.

16:48.633 --> 16:50.969
With five unified armies,

16:51.052 --> 16:52.762
we shall ride against Saul

16:53.847 --> 16:55.223
and when we do,

16:55.306 --> 16:58.560
our gods and nightmares will go before us.

17:00.103 --> 17:04.190
And how do we know
this is not just blind vengeance?

17:04.983 --> 17:09.529
Saul having killed your father
on the battlefield years ago.

17:13.408 --> 17:16.828
There is not a leader among us
to command the five armies.

17:18.121 --> 17:21.332
Certainly not you, Achish, King of Gath.

17:22.751 --> 17:24.669
I miss your father.

17:26.755 --> 17:28.590
He had better taste in wine.

17:43.730 --> 17:44.898
Prepare the horses.

17:46.024 --> 17:48.568
Yes, my king. Where are we going?

17:49.611 --> 17:50.904
To summon new gods.

18:03.875 --> 18:07.921
Eat. Drink. Please. Enjoy.

18:09.255 --> 18:14.219
Ah, my people,
the pride of Judah has returned.

18:14.719 --> 18:17.180
Welcome.

18:19.182 --> 18:20.642
The sons of Jesse

18:21.267 --> 18:24.270
and the captain of the king's guard, Joab.

18:24.354 --> 18:28.441
Men who have fought under my banner.

18:28.525 --> 18:29.859
My banner!

18:30.652 --> 18:35.406
I now return them to you, alive and well!

18:39.327 --> 18:43.665
Brethren, I bring greetings
from the house of Saul,

18:43.748 --> 18:46.668
king of the 12 tribes and lord of war.

18:47.210 --> 18:50.713
And congratulations to the bride, Rachel,

18:50.797 --> 18:54.008
and her puzzling choice
of my friend, Jakob.

18:55.218 --> 18:58.054
Of all the heroes she could have wed
she picked this one, huh?

19:01.266 --> 19:04.435
The king holds all his people
in high favor.

19:05.144 --> 19:08.189
Not the least of which
is the tribe of Judah.

19:11.067 --> 19:14.737
So he sends his own kin
to wish your union well.

19:15.780 --> 19:18.783
Make welcome Mirab and Mychal,

19:19.284 --> 19:20.785
daughters of King Saul.

19:34.299 --> 19:35.592
Er…

19:36.676 --> 19:38.177
Hello, people of Judah.

19:42.307 --> 19:45.560
Greetings from the king and our family.

19:45.643 --> 19:48.938
We prosper only if you are all
happy and well,

19:49.022 --> 19:50.899
and so it seems you are today.

19:52.275 --> 19:56.070
Congratulations to the new couple,
Jakob and Rachel.

19:56.738 --> 20:00.116
Names descended from our forefathers.

20:00.199 --> 20:02.243
Just like the old stories.

20:02.327 --> 20:06.247
The king's house intends to forgive
all debts of this new family,

20:06.331 --> 20:10.126
as well as give them land and sheep
from our own herds

20:10.209 --> 20:12.086
so that you may begin your journey

20:12.170 --> 20:16.007
with the riches and freedom
that match your new love.

20:18.426 --> 20:19.552
Congratulations.

20:24.682 --> 20:27.644
Please, enjoy the wine. Welcome.

20:32.982 --> 20:35.568
- Hmm? Hmm.
- Lovely sentiments.

20:35.652 --> 20:38.279
- Really. I'm deeply moved.
- Don't be that way.

20:38.988 --> 20:42.408
Hmm, perhaps they-they met
and truly loved each other

20:42.492 --> 20:43.493
at first glance.

20:43.576 --> 20:44.619
Mmm. Uh-huh.

20:44.702 --> 20:45.912
Or they met a week ago

20:45.995 --> 20:48.414
when her father traded
his beloved daughter

20:48.498 --> 20:49.499
for a dozen sheep.

20:49.582 --> 20:53.378
Yeah. Touching, touching words.
Mother would be so proud.

20:53.461 --> 20:54.921
Oh, please.

20:55.004 --> 20:58.132
This royal visit is nothing more
than a distraction.

20:58.216 --> 21:00.635
Parade the princesses around, maybe…

21:00.718 --> 21:03.304
maybe they won't notice
their king is losing his mind.

21:03.388 --> 21:05.473
Why do you say these things?

21:06.557 --> 21:08.559
If Father needs our service here,
so be it.

21:08.643 --> 21:11.396
And we have done our duties.
So surely we can leave now.

21:15.900 --> 21:18.027
- I want to dance.
- What?

21:18.111 --> 21:20.154
I'm going to dance.

21:20.238 --> 21:22.740
Why? No.

21:22.824 --> 21:23.950
Princess, please don't.

21:24.575 --> 21:26.953
Joab. Joab.

21:30.665 --> 21:32.917
Don't be jealous. Huh?

22:18.046 --> 22:21.424
David will play us a better song. Better.

23:21.984 --> 23:23.277
Did you write this song?

23:25.238 --> 23:27.240
Uh, this?

23:27.323 --> 23:28.783
Uh, not this.

23:29.283 --> 23:31.285
I-I learned it from my mother.

23:32.703 --> 23:33.871
Your mother?

23:34.831 --> 23:38.292
It is beautiful. She's a good teacher.

23:39.877 --> 23:42.046
Yes. She was.

23:45.299 --> 23:47.844
Perhaps I can write a song
for you someday.

23:50.888 --> 23:52.306
Who are you?

23:52.390 --> 23:54.767
Focus on entertaining the guests,
shepherd.

23:54.851 --> 23:56.519
That's what you're here for, hmm?

23:58.020 --> 23:59.313
Joab.

24:06.445 --> 24:07.530
For your efforts.

24:09.615 --> 24:10.616
This is nice.

24:13.619 --> 24:15.079
Fresh from the battlefield.

24:16.539 --> 24:17.874
An Amalekite blade?

24:23.713 --> 24:25.339
Watch your head, cousin.

24:28.092 --> 24:29.844
Joab, leave him be.

24:31.304 --> 24:32.430
Yes, Princess.

24:34.515 --> 24:35.725
It's time to leave now.

24:36.517 --> 24:39.395
I've arranged lodging for you
and Mirab at my father's vineyard.

24:39.937 --> 24:42.315
We'll return to the fortress
in the morning.

24:56.245 --> 24:58.080
Are you trying to get yourself killed?

24:58.998 --> 24:59.999
That knife is cursed.

25:00.082 --> 25:01.250
It's metal.

25:01.334 --> 25:03.836
It's used by blood drinkers
from pagan rituals.

25:03.920 --> 25:05.630
- The seer forbid it.
- We need it.

25:06.339 --> 25:09.342
- I don't care where it comes from.
- I do.

25:18.351 --> 25:20.144
Joab is not a man to be crossed.

25:20.228 --> 25:21.520
- He's our kin.
- Yes.

25:22.396 --> 25:24.774
And he will just as quickly
cut your throat.

25:27.860 --> 25:29.820
Now play me a song
that will bring me a wife.

25:30.321 --> 25:33.616
Not something sad and dreary,
but something that stirs the passions.

25:33.699 --> 25:35.534
My songs are not sad and dreary.

25:35.618 --> 25:36.869
Just play.

25:36.953 --> 25:37.954
Stirs the passions.

25:47.880 --> 25:49.924
Why is it you never
defend my honor like that?

25:50.633 --> 25:52.468
I treat you both the same, Princess.

25:52.551 --> 25:54.553
Yes. Of course.

25:54.637 --> 25:57.473
Keep telling yourself that story, okay?

26:19.078 --> 26:20.538
Okay, let's go.

26:20.621 --> 26:24.875
Do I not need to, uh,
build up speed? Like a…

26:24.959 --> 26:25.835
Like an eagle!

26:27.044 --> 26:29.297
That's not how it works.

26:31.215 --> 26:32.300
What time is it?

26:32.967 --> 26:33.968
It's morning.

26:35.094 --> 26:36.095
Here. Give it.

26:49.233 --> 26:50.526
How do you do this so well?

26:51.027 --> 26:53.404
- It's easy. Give me another rock.
- Easy?

26:54.113 --> 26:56.032
- Here. Again.
- Yeah.

27:03.247 --> 27:04.415
Oh.

27:04.498 --> 27:07.543
You have too much time
with that thing.

27:07.626 --> 27:09.628
- I have nothing else to do.
- Mmm.

27:12.590 --> 27:15.217
What will you give me
if I can hit two jars at once?

27:16.927 --> 27:17.928
You cannot.

27:18.012 --> 27:20.264
- What would you give me?
- A mule.

27:20.348 --> 27:22.058
I do not want your mule.

27:22.141 --> 27:24.477
Well, not my mule.
I will give you Abinadab's mule.

27:24.560 --> 27:28.189
What? Who's giving my baby?

27:28.272 --> 27:30.232
His mule and an acre of land.

27:30.316 --> 27:32.943
- You do not own an acre of land.
- I will find it.

27:33.903 --> 27:37.365
And if you miss,
what do you wager in return, hmm?

27:37.448 --> 27:40.117
Pointless question. He has nothing.

27:40.201 --> 27:42.036
No. If he misses,

27:42.536 --> 27:44.997
he will never show his face
in town again to disgrace us.

27:45.081 --> 27:46.457
- Nathaneel.
- What, brother?

27:46.540 --> 27:47.958
- You are the worst.
- You agree.

27:48.042 --> 27:49.543
- You just choose not to say it aloud.
- Enough.

27:49.627 --> 27:53.047
Okay. I do not want his mule
or your acre of land.

27:54.048 --> 27:56.175
I want a place with the king's warriors.

27:56.258 --> 27:57.385
I want to fight with you.

27:57.468 --> 28:00.096
There is no honor in fighting
for that king. Father is right.

28:00.179 --> 28:01.889
No, no. He's wrong.

28:01.972 --> 28:03.557
There is great honor in it.

28:03.641 --> 28:07.144
David, you will not make it a dozen paces
before an enemy cuts you down.

28:07.228 --> 28:08.646
Can we just go home?

28:08.729 --> 28:10.815
I can fight. I know I can.

28:10.898 --> 28:15.027
This… This is not fighting.
This is chasing the birds away.

28:17.488 --> 28:18.989
I was drinking that.

28:19.073 --> 28:20.491
Okay. Watch this.

28:20.574 --> 28:21.700
Two jars at once.

28:23.411 --> 28:24.829
Go on.

28:34.880 --> 28:37.133
I want to fight with you.

28:38.384 --> 28:43.389
David, I cannot place you
with the king's warriors. You know this.

28:43.472 --> 28:45.266
David, you should've kept this.

28:45.766 --> 28:47.101
Could be useful to you.

28:47.184 --> 28:49.228
You know, shear the sheep with it.

28:49.311 --> 28:52.606
My knife works just fine.
I killed the old king with it.

28:52.690 --> 28:54.483
A lion?

28:54.984 --> 28:57.278
Last time I heard this story,
it was a bear.

28:57.361 --> 28:58.404
It was a bear.

28:58.487 --> 29:00.656
What next? A dragon?

29:01.240 --> 29:03.117
- You don't believe me?
- No.

29:03.617 --> 29:04.785
He gave me this.

29:04.869 --> 29:06.287
Ah.

29:06.370 --> 29:07.663
Oh, wow.

29:07.746 --> 29:11.125
I do not know or care
if any of that is true,

29:11.208 --> 29:12.960
but this I know.

29:13.586 --> 29:15.671
An Amorite gave me this.

29:16.255 --> 29:19.300
A Philistine this,

29:19.383 --> 29:21.302
and an Amalekite gave me this.

29:21.385 --> 29:23.971
- Being Hebrew gave me this.
- And Shlomo gave me this.

29:24.054 --> 29:26.515
Because I am a warrior. That is my design.

29:26.599 --> 29:30.644
You, David, you are a poet
and you are a shepherd.

29:30.728 --> 29:33.397
- You are not a man of blood.
- I am a warrior.

29:33.481 --> 29:34.398
You are not.

29:34.482 --> 29:36.984
Eh, a Benjamite woman. Pointy teeth.

29:37.067 --> 29:38.027
Show him. Show him.

29:38.110 --> 29:40.654
Eliab, please. Can you talk to Joab?

29:40.738 --> 29:43.157
Joab. The man
that you provoked last night.

29:43.240 --> 29:45.534
- He listens to you, he's a commander.
- Under Abner.

29:45.618 --> 29:46.785
- Just ask.
- I will not.

29:46.869 --> 29:50.039
- Please.
- I will not defy our father.

29:50.122 --> 29:51.665
He is the one that put you in those hills,

29:51.749 --> 29:54.335
and he is the reason
you will never leave them.

29:56.045 --> 29:57.296
- Fine.
- Hmm.

29:58.797 --> 30:00.299
Then I will find my own way.

30:02.009 --> 30:03.219
- To the battlefield?
- Yes.

30:06.138 --> 30:07.223
Very well.

30:09.099 --> 30:11.352
- Come on.
- What?

30:11.435 --> 30:13.562
If you truly want to see
what death is like,

30:14.396 --> 30:15.606
I will show you.

30:17.149 --> 30:18.150
Okay.

30:32.122 --> 30:34.208
Your anger serves you well
on the battlefield.

30:35.543 --> 30:36.669
But not here.

30:40.172 --> 30:42.216
You asked me to spar.

30:42.716 --> 30:43.968
There's more on your mind.

30:50.391 --> 30:53.227
You know me well, my prince.

31:03.779 --> 31:06.448
Since the days wooden swords
were all we had to fight with.

31:11.870 --> 31:15.457
We fought with pitchforks…

31:17.751 --> 31:19.378
and shepherd's staffs.

31:21.630 --> 31:23.465
Tooth and nail if we had to.

31:24.049 --> 31:27.303
Yet we conquered, as we must now.

31:28.887 --> 31:31.640
My father vanquished armies
who had metal and bronze.

31:33.100 --> 31:35.060
Now he cannot defeat his own mind.

31:39.440 --> 31:40.941
We've come so far, Abner.

31:43.068 --> 31:44.320
Why would God do this?

31:45.487 --> 31:46.822
I am but a soldier.

31:48.115 --> 31:50.784
- God does not talk to me.
- But surely my father did.

31:50.868 --> 31:52.911
What did Samuel say to him?

31:52.995 --> 31:54.872
You must ask him that yourself.

31:57.249 --> 31:58.876
But one thing is clear.

32:01.170 --> 32:02.504
Your reign is coming.

32:02.588 --> 32:04.256
My father is the king of Israel.

32:04.340 --> 32:06.300
Your father struggles to get out of bed.

32:06.383 --> 32:08.594
Why did no one invite me to spar?

32:12.723 --> 32:14.600
Ah, forgive me, my king. Uh.

32:15.517 --> 32:19.104
I thought you might need
another 11 days to rest.

32:21.065 --> 32:22.775
I've never felt better.

32:25.611 --> 32:27.279
A moment with my son, Abner.

32:57.518 --> 32:59.103
What troubles you, Son?

32:59.895 --> 33:01.105
Speak it now.

33:02.648 --> 33:04.149
What did Samuel say to you?

33:06.527 --> 33:08.779
Doesn't matter?

33:12.074 --> 33:13.992
Father, he's been angry before.

33:14.576 --> 33:15.828
Whatever this is,

33:16.370 --> 33:18.122
you will make sacrifices with him.

33:18.789 --> 33:19.873
All will be forgotten.

33:22.668 --> 33:24.253
All will not be forgotten.

33:24.336 --> 33:27.798
Samuel is an old man.
Jealous of the power he lost.

33:30.551 --> 33:31.885
Is that what you think he is?

33:31.969 --> 33:34.138
I fear that is what he has become.

33:35.222 --> 33:36.807
That's not the man I know.

34:06.253 --> 34:08.046
He's a voice of the Most High.

34:08.839 --> 34:10.466
I've loved him all my life.

34:12.926 --> 34:14.136
You taught me this.

34:23.395 --> 34:24.855
All men change.

34:43.874 --> 34:46.168
You will be ready when the time comes.

34:46.752 --> 34:47.920
I promise.

34:57.262 --> 34:58.639
But I'm still king.

35:01.475 --> 35:02.976
Remember this.

35:14.613 --> 35:15.906
Where is your sister?

35:32.881 --> 35:35.592
I wish I had an apprentice
as diligent as you.

35:35.676 --> 35:40.472
Ahimelech, I hope you do not mind.
I… I know I'm not meant to be in here.

35:40.556 --> 35:42.182
Your secret is safe with me.

35:44.184 --> 35:45.561
My sweet.

35:46.144 --> 35:46.979
Father.

35:49.898 --> 35:51.650
Are you supposed to have that?

35:53.110 --> 35:57.281
Ahimelech affords me special privileges.

35:57.948 --> 35:59.783
I am the daughter of the king, after all.

36:02.786 --> 36:06.915
There was no copy of the law of Moses
in the poor village of Benjamin.

36:07.499 --> 36:10.419
We are stewards of great privilege.

36:12.713 --> 36:14.548
I'm glad to see you use it.

36:15.507 --> 36:17.050
What are you reading?

36:18.218 --> 36:22.848
Well, the people were plagued
by venomous snakes.

36:23.891 --> 36:27.144
God told Moses to take a-a copper serpent,

36:27.227 --> 36:28.812
and set it upon a pole,

36:29.354 --> 36:32.316
and lift it up for all the people to see.

36:33.650 --> 36:36.403
And all those who looked upon it lived.

36:37.821 --> 36:39.031
Healed.

36:39.114 --> 36:40.824
Instantly.

36:43.911 --> 36:45.746
Do you think it really happened?

36:46.705 --> 36:48.957
In my heart, yes.

36:51.501 --> 36:53.587
Then why will God not heal you?

36:56.423 --> 36:58.425
Who says I'm not healed?

37:03.180 --> 37:04.932
I have something to show you.

37:10.896 --> 37:16.443
When I was young, we barely heard
of gold or bronze, let alone seen it.

37:17.027 --> 37:20.489
Yet in the streams east of the Negev,

37:21.073 --> 37:26.703
if you looked in the right places,
there were these stones.

37:26.787 --> 37:28.705
Unlike any other.

37:29.331 --> 37:33.085
You could search for a month
and not find such a stone.

37:36.463 --> 37:38.340
Your mother loved them.

37:39.591 --> 37:44.054
We would spend endless hours
searching for them together.

37:44.554 --> 37:45.973
But in truth,

37:47.432 --> 37:50.352
I was simply trying
to convince her to marry me.

37:51.436 --> 37:53.563
So I had this made for her.

37:56.274 --> 37:57.901
Do you think she will like it?

38:05.701 --> 38:10.831
I think she will cherish them
for eternity.

38:13.750 --> 38:15.919
To remind her of better times.

38:22.718 --> 38:24.052
Fear not, my child.

38:26.138 --> 38:29.057
All things will turn for the good.

38:31.893 --> 38:33.311
You have my word.

38:43.613 --> 38:44.614
Hey.

38:47.993 --> 38:49.244
Can I ask you a question?

38:49.828 --> 38:51.913
Why not? We have nothing else to do.

38:53.790 --> 38:55.375
What are your memories of her?

38:57.544 --> 38:58.545
My mother.

39:02.090 --> 39:03.925
Sometimes I feel like
she's fading away from me.

39:04.009 --> 39:05.969
I would rather not remember that time.

39:13.060 --> 39:15.395
The passing of your mother,
the guilt you carry.

39:15.479 --> 39:16.480
Sometimes I feel…

39:19.107 --> 39:22.235
it proves life can be cruel and unjust,

39:22.319 --> 39:24.780
especially when facing things
that cannot be changed.

39:31.953 --> 39:35.791
She was a woman of great conviction
and warmth.

39:36.750 --> 39:38.710
Her songs would fill the house.

39:41.838 --> 39:43.965
And I regret being so unkind to her.

39:47.010 --> 39:48.011
Hey.

39:51.264 --> 39:54.559
You wish to run away to war and barbarism?

39:56.186 --> 39:57.395
There it is.

40:30.720 --> 40:31.763
Who did this?

40:32.639 --> 40:34.141
That remains a mystery.

40:36.017 --> 40:37.853
We should discover the truth then.

40:39.563 --> 40:42.023
You think you might do
what Prince Jonathan couldn't?

40:46.945 --> 40:48.613
He believes it to be the work of…

40:49.948 --> 40:50.949
What?

40:58.290 --> 40:59.291
No.

41:00.667 --> 41:01.543
Nah.

41:24.524 --> 41:25.817
We are being watched.

41:30.614 --> 41:31.740
David.

41:57.390 --> 41:58.808
Are you a Hebrew?

42:06.608 --> 42:07.943
Was this your home?

42:11.529 --> 42:14.157
No. I am not from this place.

42:16.034 --> 42:17.202
Did you come alone?

42:18.203 --> 42:20.956
Alone, and I know nothing.

42:25.919 --> 42:28.797
Are you from the tribe of Judah?
Tribe of the lion.

42:34.177 --> 42:35.262
I killed a lion.

42:36.721 --> 42:37.931
Impressive.

42:38.014 --> 42:39.516
My brothers do not believe me.

42:40.141 --> 42:43.228
Oh, I've done many things
my brethren do not believe.

42:44.354 --> 42:47.357
Greatness is often dismissed
by those closest to us.

43:05.250 --> 43:07.127
This is bronze. A Philistine?

43:07.210 --> 43:09.462
Philistine?

43:18.847 --> 43:21.016
Your people have a legend, do they not?

43:22.142 --> 43:24.602
Anak? Anakim?

43:24.686 --> 43:26.646
- Sons of Anak?
- Yes.

43:26.730 --> 43:27.772
Giants.

43:28.940 --> 43:32.319
Made when the sons of God descended,
had children by the daughters of men.

43:33.111 --> 43:36.281
- And you believe in them?
- I believe all the words of Moses.

43:37.657 --> 43:38.700
Moses,

43:40.493 --> 43:43.621
who drowned the Egyptian army
by parting the Great Sea.

43:43.705 --> 43:46.166
Hashem drowned the army.
Moses was his vessel.

43:46.249 --> 43:49.044
- Hashem? The name?
- The god of gods.

43:49.127 --> 43:51.338
Is he? And there can be no other?

43:51.421 --> 43:52.756
We need no other.

43:53.673 --> 43:55.091
Then I must ask you,

43:55.592 --> 43:57.177
can your god save you now?

44:00.597 --> 44:02.640
David, run!

44:22.869 --> 44:24.621
Run! Go.

44:26.915 --> 44:27.957
David!

44:40.887 --> 44:42.764
David, go.

44:43.473 --> 44:44.557
Go.

45:48.037 --> 45:51.666
David. Come on. Let's go. Go.

46:06.389 --> 46:07.891
Eliab.

46:33.791 --> 46:35.460
Go. Go.

46:47.347 --> 46:48.556
Eliab, over here.

46:48.640 --> 46:49.557
David!

46:49.641 --> 46:52.727
No.

46:52.810 --> 46:56.231
Eliab. No. Eliab!

46:59.234 --> 47:01.569
Shall I summon more men? Finish them?

47:02.237 --> 47:04.155
No. It is done.

47:05.865 --> 47:07.534
We have bigger prey to hunt.

47:28.846 --> 47:30.223
I've got it.

47:30.932 --> 47:33.059
I-I've got it. I-I-I've got it.

47:33.142 --> 47:34.519
I've got it. Leave it!

47:51.744 --> 47:53.162
I'm sorry, Josiah.

47:54.455 --> 47:57.000
Don't want you to have to
witness these things.

47:58.585 --> 48:01.796
The Lord will bless and keep you, my king.

48:03.006 --> 48:04.090
Give you sleep.

48:26.404 --> 48:27.822
You fear sleep.

48:29.407 --> 48:31.242
This raging in my mind,

48:32.327 --> 48:34.537
what if it's a battle I cannot win?

48:37.790 --> 48:39.917
You win every battle.

48:42.170 --> 48:45.173
You defeat every enemy.

48:47.467 --> 48:51.095
And you have made
their fallen fortress our home.

49:01.356 --> 49:02.440
Are you happy here?

49:04.150 --> 49:05.318
It's a bit drafty.

49:08.446 --> 49:10.365
Lie with me. Come.

49:16.537 --> 49:18.665
Remember our first home?

49:19.332 --> 49:20.333
Mmm.

49:20.416 --> 49:21.876
We were all together.

49:25.004 --> 49:26.255
Life was simple.

49:29.634 --> 49:31.094
It was a safe haven.

49:35.598 --> 49:37.183
'Cause you were there.

49:42.480 --> 49:43.606
That's all I needed.

49:48.861 --> 49:49.987
Sleep, my love.

49:53.574 --> 49:55.660
Sleep and come back to me.

50:07.422 --> 50:08.923
Please come back to me.

50:20.685 --> 50:22.228
Did you make this?

50:25.815 --> 50:27.191
Do you like it?

50:27.275 --> 50:28.609
It's beautiful.

50:29.986 --> 50:32.697
This will protect you.
It will be your armor.

50:43.374 --> 50:45.918
<i>Adonai, who delivered us</i>
<i>from Egypt,</i>

50:46.627 --> 50:48.629
<i>do not turn your back on us now.</i>

50:50.631 --> 50:54.051
<i>May the sacrifices of those who have died</i>
<i>be worthy to your purpose.</i>

51:02.018 --> 51:03.019
Please,

51:04.395 --> 51:06.022
show me your purpose.

51:12.236 --> 51:13.404
Samuel…

51:15.323 --> 51:16.449
Samuel…

51:19.368 --> 51:20.828
I will slay you.

51:23.706 --> 51:27.043
The king will cut down
the judge of Israel.

51:27.126 --> 51:28.169
Mother?

51:28.252 --> 51:29.378
Jonathan.

51:30.296 --> 51:32.381
I will slay you.

51:32.465 --> 51:33.966
I will cut you down like…

51:37.261 --> 51:40.306
Cut you down like the tall grass.

51:41.098 --> 51:44.560
Grass that withers and fades…

51:44.644 --> 51:45.645
Father?

51:45.728 --> 51:47.271
…and is forgotten.

51:48.022 --> 51:50.316
- All is forgotten!
- Father!

51:50.399 --> 51:51.943
All is forgotten!

51:55.571 --> 51:56.572
Father.

52:02.620 --> 52:07.208
Saul, no! No, Saul! No!

52:08.251 --> 52:10.378
No!

52:14.841 --> 52:15.842
Father!

52:22.473 --> 52:23.683
Father.

52:24.475 --> 52:25.977
Father.

52:26.477 --> 52:27.645
Jonathan.

52:29.021 --> 52:30.690
- Help me.
- I will.

52:33.568 --> 52:35.444
How has it come to this?

52:36.320 --> 52:37.613
He must rest.

52:38.948 --> 52:40.950
Come. Let's take you back to your bed.

52:41.534 --> 52:42.743
Come.

53:26.579 --> 53:28.372
Eliab.

53:28.456 --> 53:29.874
Wake up, wake up.

53:29.957 --> 53:32.168
Wake up.

53:32.251 --> 53:34.253
Leave me.

53:34.337 --> 53:36.172
I will never make it.

53:36.923 --> 53:37.924
Wake up.

53:40.384 --> 53:43.054
You've been through war, remember? Hmm?

53:43.137 --> 53:44.180
It is too far.

53:44.263 --> 53:45.723
No. No!

53:47.016 --> 53:48.142
Listen. Listen.

53:49.685 --> 53:51.187
I am stronger than you think.

53:52.021 --> 53:53.272
Look at me.

53:56.108 --> 53:59.028
I am stronger than you think. Come.
