WEBVTT

00:15.474 --> 00:17.518
<i>Previously on</i> House of David<i>...</i>

00:17.601 --> 00:19.061
<i>I won this battle.</i>

00:19.144 --> 00:20.562
You will anoint me again.

00:20.646 --> 00:22.564
This I cannot do.

00:22.648 --> 00:26.360
David loves me. There is no good reason
why he would have David marry you.

00:26.443 --> 00:28.820
Your sister is right.
She is the better choice.

00:31.907 --> 00:34.660
Get out of Israel.
I will find you and I will kill you.

00:38.664 --> 00:41.834
Eshbaal will wed Dinah.
The daughter of Yahir of Dan.

00:41.917 --> 00:45.212
We need no ceremony.
Together we can have a second chance.

00:45.295 --> 00:50.717
The one Samuel anoints, he must be slain
along with everyone in his household.

00:50.801 --> 00:53.220
You and your child
defile the name of Jesse.

00:53.303 --> 00:55.722
Your mother, born an enemy of our people.

00:55.806 --> 00:58.350
I took her in haste. Married unlawfully.

00:58.433 --> 01:00.936
You took my signet ring. Changed my law!

01:01.019 --> 01:04.273
You will not accompany me
and our family to the Tabernacle.

01:04.773 --> 01:07.276
Adriel brings important news.

01:07.359 --> 01:09.486
<i>I saw Samuel come to Bethlehem.</i>

01:10.195 --> 01:12.155
I know who he anointed.

01:30.340 --> 01:32.968
How big is it, Mother?
The Tabernacle.

01:33.051 --> 01:35.137
Bigger than
anything you ever seen.

01:35.721 --> 01:36.722
Just wait.

01:36.805 --> 01:38.432
It is quite a sight, David.

01:38.515 --> 01:41.935
The holiest place in the land
on the holiest day of the year.

01:42.019 --> 01:43.770
Will God be watching us today?

01:43.854 --> 01:46.023
God watches us every day.

01:46.106 --> 01:47.191
Especially you, Nathaneel.

01:47.858 --> 01:50.319
- That's why he laughs so much.
- Eliab.

01:51.570 --> 01:54.281
Is that it?

02:04.625 --> 02:05.709
Yes.

02:06.543 --> 02:07.920
The Tabernacle.

02:09.922 --> 02:12.090
Where the spirit of God dwells.

02:12.925 --> 02:13.926
David?

02:19.306 --> 02:21.308
Everyone is getting ready to leave.

02:25.062 --> 02:26.063
You all right?

02:28.398 --> 02:29.399
Yes.

02:30.442 --> 02:33.487
I'm listening
for my mother's voice in the wind.

02:48.377 --> 02:49.753
<i>I wanted to tell her.</i>

02:51.171 --> 02:52.214
<i>Tell her what?</i>

02:52.714 --> 02:54.174
I'm going to the Tabernacle.

02:54.258 --> 02:56.176
You didn't go together as a child?

02:58.887 --> 03:01.557
<i>She was never allowed.</i>

03:03.100 --> 03:04.101
Nor was I.

03:04.184 --> 03:06.478
Come. We will return home.

03:06.562 --> 03:07.646
No.

03:09.022 --> 03:11.024
No, not because of me. You go.

03:11.108 --> 03:14.027
No. None of us are allowed ever again.

03:14.111 --> 03:16.864
This is the decision of the elders.

03:16.947 --> 03:18.407
- Hypocrites.
- Eliab.

03:18.490 --> 03:20.868
- This is because of David.
- Eliab, silence.

03:23.996 --> 03:26.039
Now you're an honored guest.

03:27.082 --> 03:30.210
Hmm? You're champion of the king.

03:37.176 --> 03:38.177
Come on.

03:38.260 --> 03:39.261
Let's go.

04:14.379 --> 04:15.464
Is all well, my king?

04:16.757 --> 04:17.966
All is not well.

04:19.635 --> 04:22.012
We have a traitor in our midst.

04:25.057 --> 04:27.100
Curse Samuel.

04:29.520 --> 04:33.649
This blood is on his head.

04:34.608 --> 04:35.984
The anointed one?

04:38.195 --> 04:39.321
Well, rest assured,

04:40.906 --> 04:42.658
this threat will be removed.

04:43.450 --> 04:45.869
First his family,
then the anointed himself.

04:45.953 --> 04:47.496
Joab will handle it.

04:48.205 --> 04:51.625
I-I was thinking I would,
uh, enlist someone else for this.

04:51.708 --> 04:52.918
No.

04:53.627 --> 04:56.088
Joab, he's the one I trust.

04:59.591 --> 05:00.592
Of course.

05:02.427 --> 05:05.055
The deed will be done
before we reach the Tabernacle.

05:22.531 --> 05:26.368
Father would be proud
seeing you attend Tabernacle.

05:27.244 --> 05:28.954
He would be proud of both of us.

05:29.788 --> 05:33.208
Uh, actually, I'm not going with you.

05:33.292 --> 05:35.961
I just heard I'm being sent
on a mission with Joab.

05:36.044 --> 05:37.504
Now?

05:37.588 --> 05:38.589
Why?

05:38.672 --> 05:40.549
Uh, he would not tell me.

05:41.341 --> 05:42.342
Must be important.

05:44.136 --> 05:46.138
I wanted us to share this.

05:50.267 --> 05:52.895
Uh, perhaps it was something
I was never meant to see.

06:06.658 --> 06:08.493
You have to clean this every day.

06:09.203 --> 06:10.329
You promise?

06:10.412 --> 06:11.914
Sara.

06:12.706 --> 06:14.416
Mychal. Get some rest.

06:15.501 --> 06:18.003
My family owes you a great debt.

06:18.086 --> 06:19.588
It is my pleasure to serve.

06:19.671 --> 06:21.048
You do more than serve.

06:21.673 --> 06:23.091
Because of you, my brother lives.

06:23.175 --> 06:26.136
Well, I am happy my skills were of use.

06:26.220 --> 06:28.222
I know Jonathan well.

06:28.305 --> 06:32.309
His feelings for you,
they go deeper than gratitude.

06:34.019 --> 06:36.063
Men are often confused when I treat them.

06:36.146 --> 06:39.525
It's a sense of affection
and reverence for the healer.

06:39.608 --> 06:40.609
Hmm.

06:41.485 --> 06:43.403
If you were to ask me...

06:45.280 --> 06:47.741
feelings seem to run both ways.

06:51.995 --> 06:53.580
We only just met.

06:55.791 --> 06:57.709
So... So come with us.

07:00.420 --> 07:01.755
To the Tabernacle?

07:03.841 --> 07:06.969
If you leave,
you'll never know what could be.

07:10.931 --> 07:13.934
So, you'll come?

07:16.728 --> 07:18.230
- Yes?
- Fine.

07:21.316 --> 07:22.651
How is my boy?

07:22.734 --> 07:23.986
How is Samson?

07:27.739 --> 07:28.866
Brother.

07:33.161 --> 07:34.496
Are you joining us?

07:34.580 --> 07:37.165
Your sister seems to think
you are still ill.

07:41.879 --> 07:43.088
I've never felt worse.

07:44.006 --> 07:45.883
Well, then I suppose I am duty bound.

07:48.468 --> 07:50.012
Let's get you a horse.

07:52.264 --> 07:53.599
You're welcome, Brother.

08:10.199 --> 08:11.325
It's a long journey.

08:13.202 --> 08:14.453
Doesn't mean we have to talk.

08:16.205 --> 08:17.331
It's fine with me.

08:29.927 --> 08:32.930
Perhaps you prefer to ride
in the carriage?

08:33.597 --> 08:35.265
You are the wife of a prince now.

08:36.475 --> 08:40.479
So quick to marry,
yet you know so little about me.

08:57.162 --> 08:58.997
Need help climbing up, my prince?

09:05.921 --> 09:07.256
Too late to back out now.

09:15.472 --> 09:16.598
Why is Mother not coming?

09:19.184 --> 09:20.519
Father.

09:21.103 --> 09:23.146
She has always been with us
at the Tabernacle.

09:23.856 --> 09:25.440
And this year, she will not be.

09:58.432 --> 10:02.728
Uriah, I am to lead, but I don't know
which way we are supposed to be going.

10:04.396 --> 10:07.691
- You see that scout ahead of the column?
- Yes.

10:07.774 --> 10:10.027
Keep him in sight
and just follow his horse.

10:10.736 --> 10:11.737
Thank you.

10:18.827 --> 10:21.079
Our new commander is asking
for directions, huh?

10:21.580 --> 10:23.916
Should we be worried?

10:25.709 --> 10:28.462
Remind me, Oaz,
how many giants have you killed?

10:52.819 --> 10:55.113
Will you at least tell me
where we are going?

10:56.573 --> 10:58.325
Is it Kiriath-jearim?

10:58.408 --> 11:01.411
No, we're headed south.

11:01.954 --> 11:02.955
Judah?

11:05.040 --> 11:06.458
Where exactly? What village?

11:07.543 --> 11:09.962
- And why?
- Eliab.

11:11.421 --> 11:13.841
You will know the truth
when the time is right.

11:30.524 --> 11:32.109
- Mmm, do you want some?
- I don't like it.

11:37.114 --> 11:38.115
David.

11:38.782 --> 11:39.783
My king.

11:43.871 --> 11:46.331
Thank you for this great honor.

11:47.082 --> 11:49.585
It is the least I could do
for one so loyal.

11:55.424 --> 11:56.592
I envy you,

11:57.968 --> 12:00.596
experiencing all this for the first time.

12:03.223 --> 12:06.560
The Day of Atonement
is a time for repentance

12:07.895 --> 12:12.065
for the things that distance us from God

12:13.192 --> 12:16.737
and for the consequences
our choices have caused.

12:19.156 --> 12:24.578
It is a ceremony that marks both
the beginning and the end of many things.

12:35.923 --> 12:36.924
You will see.

13:04.368 --> 13:07.120
Our commander's a singer, huh?

13:19.675 --> 13:20.676
Don't mind them.

13:22.386 --> 13:23.971
Earning their trust takes time.

13:24.763 --> 13:28.392
You know, I've been a shepherd
for many years leading my father's flocks,

13:30.018 --> 13:32.396
and they have always followed me
with great loyalty.

13:32.479 --> 13:34.231
Well, men are not sheep.

13:35.983 --> 13:38.193
To be a soldier is to face pain

13:39.570 --> 13:40.571
and hardship

13:41.905 --> 13:44.241
and the possibility of death every day.

13:47.452 --> 13:52.416
So a leader must provide them
with a purpose greater than themselves.

13:54.751 --> 13:55.752
Mmm.

13:57.462 --> 13:58.672
You'll get there, David.

14:00.382 --> 14:01.466
One way or another.

14:18.984 --> 14:21.737
We have servants to tend the horses.

14:23.822 --> 14:26.783
You think she would have figured that out
by now, but you know Mychal.

14:28.076 --> 14:29.286
I do.

14:31.997 --> 14:34.291
I wanted to tell you,
I convinced my father

14:34.374 --> 14:36.877
to grant your family
a hundred head of sheep.

14:38.504 --> 14:41.381
And your father,
he will be restored in Judah,

14:41.965 --> 14:43.717
welcome to worship with the others.

14:43.800 --> 14:46.011
- All past sins wiped clean...
- Hmm.

14:46.094 --> 14:47.221
...so...

14:47.304 --> 14:49.264
...so he could join us next year.

14:50.182 --> 14:52.142
That is my gift to you.

14:53.018 --> 14:54.019
Thank you.

14:56.897 --> 14:58.815
But my love cannot be bought, Mirab.

15:01.610 --> 15:02.861
Perhaps it can be earned?

15:06.198 --> 15:07.199
It already was.

15:09.618 --> 15:10.911
Look, David.

15:14.456 --> 15:18.752
I know I am not the one you chose,
but I will make this the right choice.

15:21.547 --> 15:23.632
Do you know what you have done
to your sister?

15:25.467 --> 15:26.552
What I have done?

15:29.346 --> 15:32.641
David, I have never been chosen, ever.

15:33.559 --> 15:36.228
I am overlooked.

15:36.311 --> 15:37.354
I'm ignored.

15:38.689 --> 15:40.691
I think you know what that feels like.

15:40.774 --> 15:45.237
To be forgotten by your family,
to not have a path.

15:46.738 --> 15:48.407
But now look at you.

15:51.660 --> 15:55.455
You slayed that giant,
and it upset everything.

15:56.790 --> 16:00.627
You found your path,
and I would like to find mine.

16:01.753 --> 16:04.715
Because I deserve to have a future
as much as Mychal.

16:05.299 --> 16:07.593
And the truth is, you and I, we...

16:07.676 --> 16:10.137
we are what this kingdom needs.

16:11.346 --> 16:15.475
And that is why my father made his choice,
and he will not change his mind.

16:17.603 --> 16:19.605
Now, you don't have to like it,

16:20.564 --> 16:23.233
and, really, you don't have to love me,

16:24.943 --> 16:28.947
but the eyes of the nation are on us.

16:30.282 --> 16:37.039
So, please just don't embarrass me.

16:40.667 --> 16:41.710
Help!

16:42.711 --> 16:43.712
Help!

16:44.755 --> 16:46.215
Over there!

16:46.298 --> 16:47.674
What happened to you?

16:47.758 --> 16:50.010
Armed men. Philistines.

16:50.093 --> 16:51.929
Sacking village after village.

16:52.012 --> 16:54.139
Now, mine.

16:55.140 --> 16:56.433
Geba.

16:57.017 --> 16:58.435
David,

16:59.102 --> 17:01.021
take your brother and a detachment of men.

17:01.104 --> 17:02.481
We'll call for reinforcements.

17:02.564 --> 17:04.149
- As you wish.
- Take him.

17:04.233 --> 17:05.234
Lead us.

17:05.317 --> 17:06.818
Abi, let's go.

17:07.444 --> 17:08.612
Ready your weapons!

17:08.695 --> 17:10.072
The Philistines are attacking!

17:22.626 --> 17:25.963
Joab, why are we here?

17:28.173 --> 17:29.174
Hey.

17:29.883 --> 17:30.968
No more secrets.

17:32.344 --> 17:33.554
These are my neighbors.

17:34.638 --> 17:37.933
The man Samuel anointed, he lives here.

17:39.393 --> 17:40.394
No.

17:43.063 --> 17:44.314
That cannot be true.

17:45.232 --> 17:47.359
Yet it is.

17:49.611 --> 17:50.904
And what are we to do?

17:50.988 --> 17:53.657
Remove the threat
along with his bloodline.

17:54.658 --> 17:56.159
There can be no survivors.

17:57.411 --> 17:58.412
Joab...

18:00.873 --> 18:02.583
These are good people.

18:03.417 --> 18:04.459
We cannot.

18:04.543 --> 18:05.544
I will not.

18:07.337 --> 18:09.256
Would you rather it be your family?

18:13.385 --> 18:14.595
Eliab, what are you doing here?

18:14.678 --> 18:16.680
Your father said
you had returned to Gibeah.

18:16.763 --> 18:18.098
Tobiah, son of Japheth,

18:19.266 --> 18:21.185
you've been declared a traitor.

18:21.268 --> 18:23.478
What? No. Joab.

18:24.396 --> 18:26.315
- No, I don't understand.
- Joab.

18:27.149 --> 18:29.610
Eliab, tell him. You know me.

18:29.693 --> 18:31.653
Your death is necessary
to preserve the future...

18:31.737 --> 18:32.863
- Joab.
- ...of our rightful king...

18:32.946 --> 18:34.698
- Merciful God, please.
- ...the true anointed one.

18:34.781 --> 18:35.824
Eliab, tell him.

18:35.908 --> 18:38.911
- <i>Abba</i>!
- Go! Get away, Son.

18:38.994 --> 18:41.330
Run!

18:42.497 --> 18:44.750
I'll go after the boy.

18:44.833 --> 18:46.084
You finish the rest.

18:47.085 --> 18:48.170
Be smart, cousin.

18:57.054 --> 19:00.098
No, please. Tobiah.

19:00.182 --> 19:02.601
- Tobiah?
- Where's <i>abba</i>?

19:37.219 --> 19:39.596
How could you do this?

19:39.680 --> 19:41.473
God is furious.

19:41.557 --> 19:44.142
This is our leader?
I don't know if I want...

19:44.226 --> 19:45.227
Over here!

19:45.978 --> 19:48.647
- Here, there's some survivors!
- I told you he wasn't ready.

19:48.730 --> 19:49.898
God, help me.

19:49.982 --> 19:50.983
Oaz...

19:59.449 --> 20:01.577
That is a dozen men
we've lost, David.

20:02.494 --> 20:03.537
A dozen men.

20:04.788 --> 20:06.039
Why did you rush in?

20:07.165 --> 20:10.586
Uriah, take Oaz. Tend to the wounded. Now.

20:14.673 --> 20:18.886
I told you he's not a leader.

20:18.969 --> 20:20.304
Enough.

20:21.305 --> 20:23.056
The Philistines were
attacking the villagers.

20:25.434 --> 20:27.853
I did what I-I felt I-I must do.

20:29.855 --> 20:31.273
You know what they would have done.

20:31.356 --> 20:32.983
We had the advantage.

20:34.401 --> 20:37.487
But you led with emotion
and you gave up our position.

20:38.071 --> 20:40.991
My prince,
there's something you should see.

20:42.034 --> 20:44.411
You just got men killed
who did not need to die.

21:02.554 --> 21:04.097
Every dead Philistine had one.

21:06.099 --> 21:08.310
There were two wagons loaded with them.

21:09.394 --> 21:10.729
More that escaped.

21:10.812 --> 21:11.939
Charcoal.

21:12.022 --> 21:13.023
Burned wood?

21:13.607 --> 21:16.443
What do they want with burned wood, huh?

21:16.527 --> 21:19.530
Why risk life and limb for it?

21:51.770 --> 21:54.273
David, come sit by the fire. Come.

22:07.786 --> 22:10.289
I got those men killed.

22:12.791 --> 22:14.585
It was a battle.

22:15.294 --> 22:17.296
They knew the cost.

22:17.379 --> 22:18.922
They followed me.

22:19.840 --> 22:21.842
They trusted me.

22:29.391 --> 22:30.809
You know...

22:32.060 --> 22:36.773
I grew up watching my father send
men to their death,

22:37.733 --> 22:38.901
so...

22:41.403 --> 22:43.197
I know what war does.

22:46.658 --> 22:52.623
Not just to the ones who fight,
but to those left behind.

23:00.088 --> 23:02.716
Grief cannot be avoided, David.

23:05.636 --> 23:07.596
But you don't have to do it alone.

23:25.113 --> 23:26.198
Hey.

24:08.407 --> 24:09.491
Well?

24:12.244 --> 24:13.787
This still feels heavy.

24:14.329 --> 24:17.040
You promised me iron swords
as refined as Goliath's.

24:17.124 --> 24:20.252
I need time, my king. And more materials.

24:20.335 --> 24:23.088
I've given you all you required

24:23.922 --> 24:25.424
at the cost of many men,

24:26.300 --> 24:31.597
and yet you fail to live up to
your promises, huh?

24:33.307 --> 24:35.392
Perhaps you are not as skilled
as your master.

24:35.475 --> 24:38.061
There is no one as skilled as my master.

24:38.645 --> 24:40.939
- Then where is he?
- No one knows, my king.

24:41.023 --> 24:42.858
He's believed to be dead.

24:43.650 --> 24:45.235
Goliath's sword was his last.

24:46.361 --> 24:47.946
But I am his best apprentice.

24:48.030 --> 24:50.490
Please, I will prove my worth.

24:50.574 --> 24:53.785
And soon, you will lead a vast army

24:53.869 --> 24:55.871
wielding the greatest weapons
known to man.

25:01.084 --> 25:02.085
Not for men.

25:03.045 --> 25:04.546
For gods and kings.

25:06.006 --> 25:07.508
Can you do that or not?

25:07.591 --> 25:09.718
- Yes. Yes, my lord.
- Mm-hmm.

25:09.801 --> 25:10.844
I will show you.

25:12.137 --> 25:13.138
Good.

25:15.766 --> 25:17.684
Get back to work.

25:56.473 --> 26:00.060
David! David! David!

26:07.651 --> 26:13.448
Long ago, Adonai revealed the Tabernacle
to Moses from Mount Sinai

26:13.532 --> 26:17.244
and told him to build one
just like it on Earth.

26:17.828 --> 26:19.329
It is like...

26:20.289 --> 26:22.416
a shadow of the heavenly realm.

26:23.125 --> 26:25.335
Right here for us.

26:25.419 --> 26:26.420
Yeah.

26:27.379 --> 26:29.590
David! David! David!

26:52.070 --> 26:53.655
My people!

26:55.115 --> 26:57.034
I present to you...

26:57.701 --> 26:58.785
the giant-slayer!

27:00.454 --> 27:03.290
And his princess, Mirab.

27:07.002 --> 27:08.504
Pretend, David.

27:09.087 --> 27:11.048
If not for them, for me.

27:11.131 --> 27:13.467
- David! David! David!
- Please.

27:44.581 --> 27:45.958
Where were you?

27:46.041 --> 27:47.376
What was this mission?

27:48.710 --> 27:50.212
We will not speak of it.

27:51.797 --> 27:53.006
Not here.

27:54.758 --> 27:55.884
Not ever.

29:23.305 --> 29:26.892
If you have come
to put hands on Samuel,

29:27.643 --> 29:31.647
you will first have to go through
all the priests of the Tabernacle

29:33.148 --> 29:35.067
in front of all the people of Israel.

29:37.986 --> 29:42.199
I assure you,
we have no need or wish to harm the Seer.

29:42.282 --> 29:47.871
In fact, we come offering him
a relief from his own sins.

30:19.611 --> 30:21.446
What do you think you're doing?

30:24.241 --> 30:26.076
Isn't it obvious?

30:26.785 --> 30:29.121
I thought we had an understanding.

30:31.957 --> 30:34.835
You mean how you'd rather ride a horse
than have my child?

30:36.879 --> 30:39.339
Than have any man's child.

30:40.549 --> 30:46.346
So much pain and suffering, swollen belly,
the risk of death, for what?

30:46.430 --> 30:49.099
Huh? A moment of pleasure?

30:52.269 --> 30:53.645
I promise you...

30:55.230 --> 30:57.024
it will be much more than just a moment.

31:02.571 --> 31:04.489
The Law of Moses clearly states

31:04.573 --> 31:09.119
the Day of Atonement
is a time to practice self-denial.

31:13.040 --> 31:14.041
You're mad.

31:15.459 --> 31:21.381
Well, when the sun sets tomorrow,
the day of self-denial will be over.

31:22.424 --> 31:26.678
And we'll see if you still feel
the need to draw a blade on me then.

31:26.762 --> 31:27.763
Mmm.

31:29.515 --> 31:31.183
We shall see, husband.

32:00.295 --> 32:02.005
Still sleeping under the stars?

32:02.798 --> 32:04.675
Mychal.

32:04.758 --> 32:06.385
Please, sit down.

32:15.561 --> 32:18.689
Uh, I've made a decision about us.

32:18.772 --> 32:20.774
If this is about earlier,

32:20.858 --> 32:24.236
your sister was performing for the crowd
and I took no pleasure--

32:24.319 --> 32:25.863
But the people did.

32:27.114 --> 32:29.575
I can see how this ends.

32:30.826 --> 32:33.996
Let's spare ourselves more pain.

32:34.079 --> 32:35.122
You...

32:35.998 --> 32:38.458
You will marry Mirab, and I...

32:38.542 --> 32:40.252
- I will live with it.
- No, no.

32:40.335 --> 32:42.087
I... I can... I cannot.

32:42.171 --> 32:45.382
I won't. [stammers] I love you, Mychal.

32:45.465 --> 32:46.633
Only you.

32:47.384 --> 32:51.305
There's more to consider
than our own happiness.

32:52.931 --> 32:55.767
Perhaps I was only meant
to help you face the giant.

32:55.851 --> 32:58.312
- Perhaps that is God's purpose in this.
- What? No.

32:58.812 --> 33:01.565
We are meant to be together. I know it.

33:03.233 --> 33:05.611
Listen, we just need to keep fighting.

33:06.403 --> 33:07.696
I am fighting.

33:08.488 --> 33:10.866
I'm fighting for something else.

33:10.949 --> 33:11.992
For what?

33:12.075 --> 33:13.452
My family.

33:13.535 --> 33:15.537
But you said yourself,
you blame your own father.

33:15.621 --> 33:18.540
I'm angry with him, yes,
but he's still my father.

33:19.249 --> 33:21.084
- And he's the anointed.
- Is he?

33:22.961 --> 33:24.421
Do not speak against God.

33:24.505 --> 33:26.048
Not to me and certainly not here.

33:26.131 --> 33:28.926
- No, no, no, that's not what I meant.
- I love you, but I...

33:29.009 --> 33:32.221
I will not choose you or anyone
over his will.

33:32.304 --> 33:35.015
What if choosing me is God's will?

33:35.098 --> 33:38.560
You keep saying that,
but have you even asked him?

33:38.644 --> 33:40.521
- Constantly.
- Has he answered?

33:40.604 --> 33:43.357
- Well, not yet, but--
- That is our answer.

33:43.440 --> 33:48.529
If we were truly meant to be together,
this would be easier.

33:48.612 --> 33:53.325
We wouldn't have to keep fighting against
the current or breaking my family apart.

33:53.408 --> 33:56.411
David, my mother isn't even here.

33:57.120 --> 33:58.205
I know, I know.

33:58.288 --> 33:59.623
I fear...

34:00.916 --> 34:02.459
I fear we are being selfish.

34:02.543 --> 34:03.877
Mychal, please.

34:03.961 --> 34:05.629
I've made my decision.

34:08.340 --> 34:12.427
If you love me, you'll respect it.

34:43.667 --> 34:45.169
<i>This is because of David.</i>

34:45.252 --> 34:50.174
This is not his fault or yours,
but it will be your burden to bear.

34:51.508 --> 34:53.719
<i>So, instead of judging others as they do,</i>

34:54.344 --> 34:57.931
concern yourself with
the man God wants you to become.

35:00.100 --> 35:03.729
Perhaps then,
you will be the one to redeem our family.

35:15.866 --> 35:17.075
<i>Abba!</i>

35:19.077 --> 35:23.207
<i>Tobiah. Tobiah.</i>

36:01.578 --> 36:02.955
My king.

36:06.166 --> 36:09.837
Thank you, Abner,
for bringing my most honored guest.

36:12.881 --> 36:14.633
Tell me, Saul...

36:14.716 --> 36:16.927
Are all your honored guests
brought forcibly

36:17.010 --> 36:18.971
to your tent in the dead of night?

36:19.054 --> 36:20.347
Hila...

36:21.723 --> 36:26.436
I didn't bring you here
to threaten you, but to appeal.

36:26.520 --> 36:29.231
We have much to discuss.

36:29.314 --> 36:31.108
Please, sit.

36:31.191 --> 36:33.068
I prefer to stand.

36:33.735 --> 36:35.070
Where is Ahinoam?

36:35.153 --> 36:37.155
Do you not always travel together?

36:38.156 --> 36:40.033
The queen is not your concern.

36:40.117 --> 36:42.369
I sincerely hope she isn't ill

36:42.452 --> 36:46.957
or grappling with demons of the mind,
as you have been of late.

36:47.833 --> 36:52.754
I assure you, Hila,
my mind has never been more clear.

36:53.338 --> 36:55.299
And Samuel needs to know that.

36:57.217 --> 37:02.347
Convince your husband, who has
clearly lost sight of God's purpose,

37:02.431 --> 37:04.349
to make the right choice.

37:05.726 --> 37:10.105
Tomorrow, Samuel must
reaffirm his support for me as king

37:10.189 --> 37:12.482
in front of the gathered people of Israel.

37:12.566 --> 37:15.652
You kept him bound as a prisoner.

37:16.904 --> 37:19.865
Even that couldn't convince him
to do as you wish.

37:20.574 --> 37:24.870
Of all places,
why would his mind be changed here?

37:24.953 --> 37:28.665
If God has failed to tell him
the answer to that question,

37:28.749 --> 37:33.170
then perhaps it will fall to me
to speak truth in his ear.

37:33.253 --> 37:34.630
Do you not see?

37:35.714 --> 37:40.219
When Samuel's words favor your house,
you accept them from God.

37:41.053 --> 37:44.264
And when they do not, you dismiss them.

37:45.015 --> 37:49.019
Either God speaks through my husband,
or he does not.

37:49.102 --> 37:54.233
And if he does not,
then your anointing was never just.

37:55.275 --> 37:57.903
So, you have lost either way.

37:58.570 --> 38:01.949
Accept this and you will know peace.

38:02.032 --> 38:06.119
No man lives forever
and Samuel's time will end

38:06.203 --> 38:10.582
sooner than it should
if he continues to defy me.

38:11.708 --> 38:13.043
And, Hila...

38:15.045 --> 38:19.132
I would be terribly burdened
if anything happened to you as well.

38:26.348 --> 38:31.895
Lord of Hosts, I ask you
on behalf of those still faithful.

38:34.648 --> 38:38.819
Show your love and kindness
to your people, Israel...

38:41.488 --> 38:44.616
<i>for we have forsaken Adonai.</i>

38:45.200 --> 38:48.745
<i>We have sinned against you...</i>

38:51.290 --> 38:54.042
<i>and we have sinned against each other.</i>

38:59.381 --> 39:03.135
But you are long-suffering

39:04.761 --> 39:06.096
and compassionate.

39:09.516 --> 39:14.980
<i>You are slow to anger
and your mercy is abounding.</i>

39:16.648 --> 39:19.985
<i>May our sacrifice be acceptable
in your sight</i>

39:20.068 --> 39:22.112
<i>as we enter this new year.</i>

39:24.031 --> 39:25.782
<i>Free us from sin.</i>

39:26.408 --> 39:29.036
<i>Forgive us our trespasses.</i>

39:29.995 --> 39:32.915
<i>And, Lord, crown us</i>

39:33.749 --> 39:37.669
<i>with your blessing and with your grace.</i>

39:48.263 --> 39:49.264
Ah...

39:50.140 --> 39:51.558
And where have you been?

39:52.976 --> 39:54.853
Just enjoying the night air.

39:56.522 --> 39:58.315
Ah.

40:03.070 --> 40:04.112
Good.

40:31.181 --> 40:32.558
Thank you.

40:36.812 --> 40:38.438
What?

40:38.522 --> 40:40.899
- You should not be in here.
- Jonathan!

40:40.983 --> 40:42.401
It's all right.

40:42.484 --> 40:43.986
No, no, it's fine.

40:45.112 --> 40:46.488
Leave us.

40:47.531 --> 40:48.532
Come.

40:49.575 --> 40:50.576
Samuel.

40:50.659 --> 40:53.245
So, you have won a... a great victory.

40:53.328 --> 40:54.580
It is well done.

40:54.663 --> 40:56.415
Mmm, the victory was won by David.

41:00.085 --> 41:01.670
Ah. Something troubles you.

41:05.257 --> 41:06.925
He is the anointed one.

41:09.011 --> 41:11.221
Chosen by God to replace my father.

41:13.140 --> 41:14.474
Is he not?

41:19.313 --> 41:20.480
- Hmm.
- So...

41:22.191 --> 41:23.859
what does your heart tell you?

41:26.945 --> 41:29.948
He has become my friend...

41:31.950 --> 41:33.452
and I am teaching him the skills

41:33.535 --> 41:37.247
he could use to destroy my father,
my family, myself.

41:39.166 --> 41:41.502
It...

41:42.002 --> 41:43.879
It threatens to corrupt the mind.

41:43.962 --> 41:45.214
Listen to me.

41:45.923 --> 41:50.052
No one, not even I, can know exactly

41:50.135 --> 41:56.016
what Adonai intends
or how his will may manifest.

41:57.809 --> 42:03.524
Do you truly believe that David
would ever harm you or your family?

42:04.983 --> 42:06.109
I do not.

42:08.737 --> 42:12.032
But... what is my purpose in this?

42:14.576 --> 42:18.580
If he is to sit on the throne,
I am his greatest obstacle.

42:20.040 --> 42:22.417
Then become his greatest ally.

42:24.628 --> 42:28.507
Help David to become
the man God needs him to be.

42:29.633 --> 42:32.386
Oh, Jonathan, Jonathan.

42:32.469 --> 42:36.139
In the meantime, try to take some joy

42:37.140 --> 42:38.851
in your own life.

42:41.854 --> 42:43.021
Wash your hands.

42:44.022 --> 42:45.023
Go on.

43:09.173 --> 43:11.216
You owe me a great debt, son of Jesse.

43:11.925 --> 43:14.887
I have saved you and your family
from a quick death.

43:17.055 --> 43:18.056
You have done what?

43:19.433 --> 43:21.268
I know who you're meant to be, David.

43:22.227 --> 43:23.353
I, uh...

43:24.104 --> 43:26.190
I know about the anointing.

43:29.735 --> 43:32.863
Ah, so it is true.

43:34.823 --> 43:36.658
Your eyes betray you.

43:37.534 --> 43:38.744
Ah...

43:41.121 --> 43:42.122
Do not worry.

43:42.206 --> 43:45.125
I have put the name of another
in the king's ear.

43:46.126 --> 43:48.712
The name of a man I will not miss.

43:50.005 --> 43:52.674
They have died in your place, David.

43:55.093 --> 43:56.094
So,

43:57.179 --> 44:02.643
when the scepter returns to Judah
as prophesied and you sit on your throne,

44:03.936 --> 44:07.940
my little musical warrior, huh,

44:08.023 --> 44:10.025
remember who protected you.

44:53.902 --> 44:55.487
The Lord has chose.

45:32.024 --> 45:35.903
Upon this goat, I lay all our wrongdoings,

45:35.986 --> 45:39.531
that it may bear them away
into the wilderness.

45:39.615 --> 45:43.994
Let it carry our guilt far from us,

45:44.077 --> 45:47.039
never to defile these people again.

45:58.634 --> 46:00.219
<i>Tekiah Gedolah.</i>

46:21.949 --> 46:25.327
Your false anointed one breathes no more.

46:27.162 --> 46:31.416
God revealed him to me that I might
smite him from the face of the Earth.

46:32.000 --> 46:36.004
Now show the people
I am God's chosen king.

46:37.172 --> 46:39.842
Anoint me once again, here and now.

46:42.803 --> 46:46.932
Only then will peace
reign throughout the land.

46:48.559 --> 46:50.269
I do as God speaks.

46:51.854 --> 46:53.146
You know this, Saul.

46:54.439 --> 46:57.568
And what you are asking,
God has not spoken.

48:58.313 --> 48:59.439
Hey.

49:00.148 --> 49:01.149
Hey.

49:02.067 --> 49:03.485
I am with you, brother.

49:04.695 --> 49:07.739
I fight with you and I mourn with you.

49:17.374 --> 49:19.751
You have made the wrong choice.

49:22.045 --> 49:23.172
Saul...

49:25.632 --> 49:27.718
I do not fear you.

49:28.552 --> 49:30.387
I do not serve you.

49:31.930 --> 49:33.765
This altar is for priests,

49:34.850 --> 49:36.310
not kings.

50:18.268 --> 50:19.811
You'll get what you want.

50:21.438 --> 50:22.731
I won't fight you anymore.

50:25.192 --> 50:26.485
I will accept it.

50:30.113 --> 50:33.408
- Mychal.
- But I cannot be beside you for this.

50:39.164 --> 50:42.584
Don't expect me to forgive you, Mirab.

50:45.879 --> 50:47.172
I can't.

51:03.772 --> 51:05.023
Jonathan.

51:05.941 --> 51:08.569
A wise man told me to take joy in my life...

51:11.780 --> 51:13.282
...and I am heeding his words.

51:13.365 --> 51:15.367
I know what it is you want...

51:16.994 --> 51:18.620
but this,

51:19.830 --> 51:22.541
us, cannot be.

51:26.837 --> 51:28.046
Do you not want it too?

51:31.091 --> 51:33.093
I told you my brother died in battle,

51:34.052 --> 51:35.971
but I didn't tell you the whole story.

51:37.514 --> 51:38.974
His name was Isaac.

51:40.642 --> 51:42.269
He died at the battle of Michmash.

51:44.688 --> 51:47.774
The same battle that made you famous
as a hero of Israel.

51:48.984 --> 51:51.945
They say you climbed a steep cliff
and launched an attack

51:52.029 --> 51:55.282
on the Philistines
with only your armor-bearer at your side.

51:56.366 --> 51:57.951
Two against an army.

52:00.370 --> 52:03.123
My brother was one of the hundreds of men

52:03.207 --> 52:06.043
inspired by your bravery
to join the fight...

52:08.128 --> 52:10.714
and he died because of it.

52:14.051 --> 52:18.430
No matter how hard I try,
and believe me, I have tried...

52:19.765 --> 52:22.726
I cannot stop holding you
responsible for his death.

52:25.646 --> 52:26.647
I save lives...

52:28.273 --> 52:29.942
and you take them.

52:32.110 --> 52:33.403
It's as simple as that.

52:38.784 --> 52:40.077
Sara...

53:13.819 --> 53:14.945
Are you all right?
