WEBVTT
00:15.599 --> 00:17.518
Previously on House of David...
00:17.601 --> 00:21.104
With five unified armies,
we shall ride against Saul.
00:21.188 --> 00:25.317
There is not a leader among us to command
the five armies. Certainly not you.
00:25.400 --> 00:28.237
I just heard I'm being sent
on a mission with Joab.
00:28.320 --> 00:29.488
Must be important.
00:29.571 --> 00:30.697
And what are we to do?
00:31.240 --> 00:33.617
Remove the threat
along with his bloodline.
00:33.700 --> 00:35.410
There can be no survivors.
00:35.494 --> 00:38.038
Go! Get away, Son. Run!
00:39.164 --> 00:41.875
- I fear we are being selfish.
- Mychal, please.
00:41.959 --> 00:43.335
I've made my decision.
00:43.418 --> 00:45.671
You will marry Mirab
and I will live with it.
00:45.754 --> 00:47.965
That is a dozen men
we've lost, David.
00:48.048 --> 00:49.508
Every dead Philistine had one.
00:50.634 --> 00:51.635
Charcoal.
00:52.553 --> 00:54.930
You promised me iron swords
as refined as Goliath's.
00:55.013 --> 00:57.933
I need time, my king, and more materials.
00:58.016 --> 01:03.188
As a reward for your bravery,
I give you command of a thousand men.
01:04.439 --> 01:07.943
Do you really think
David is capable of commanding an army?
01:08.026 --> 01:10.696
It is wise to use David
to unite our people.
01:12.114 --> 01:13.490
They love him.
01:44.313 --> 01:46.773
The righteous will flourish
like a palm tree.
01:51.028 --> 01:53.697
They will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.
01:59.369 --> 02:01.246
Planted in the house of the Lord...
02:05.626 --> 02:08.086
they will flourish
in the courts of our God.
02:24.269 --> 02:27.064
By this I know
that you are pleased with me...
02:31.693 --> 02:34.404
...because my enemies
do not triumph over me.
03:02.391 --> 03:04.184
Do not let them triumph over me.
03:11.525 --> 03:13.318
Ah, the great warrior.
03:15.821 --> 03:18.949
- Jonathan.
- And still writing your poetry.
03:20.409 --> 03:22.494
This year has gone by too quickly.
03:22.995 --> 03:24.329
Look at you.
03:24.413 --> 03:28.041
All this time,
you still can't grow a beard, huh?
03:28.125 --> 03:29.877
- I've been trying.
- Uh-huh.
03:30.502 --> 03:32.462
How have you been?
03:33.088 --> 03:35.549
Tired,
from hearing of your many victories.
03:35.632 --> 03:37.801
Perhaps I could lose a few
to ease your burden.
03:38.302 --> 03:40.929
- How is she?
- Uh, Mychal?
03:44.516 --> 03:46.602
Distracting herself as much as she can.
03:47.978 --> 03:49.521
She teaches children now.
03:49.605 --> 03:50.606
- Yes?
- Hmm.
03:52.232 --> 03:53.233
And the rest?
03:54.359 --> 03:59.198
A house divided can be,
well, an unpleasant place.
04:00.324 --> 04:01.742
And what of Sara?
04:02.451 --> 04:06.246
I still think about her,
even after all this time.
04:10.042 --> 04:13.545
But her heart is bound
by the loss of her brother.
04:14.254 --> 04:15.380
She cannot release it.
04:16.548 --> 04:17.549
Hmm.
04:18.383 --> 04:23.013
The pain behind us,
it often blocks the joy ahead.
04:23.680 --> 04:26.642
Hmm. So, what can be done?
04:29.603 --> 04:30.604
We look forward.
04:35.150 --> 04:36.235
Ambush.
04:45.369 --> 04:47.329
Shields in the center now.
04:49.373 --> 04:51.625
Shields! Shields! Shields!
04:51.708 --> 04:53.252
- Where did they come from?
- All sides.
04:53.335 --> 04:54.920
Archers on me.
04:55.504 --> 04:56.672
They'll hit your brother.
05:01.134 --> 05:02.719
Give the order when I'm covered.
05:09.184 --> 05:10.185
Stay down!
05:10.269 --> 05:11.770
Arrows!
05:16.483 --> 05:18.527
Move! Get off me.
05:19.027 --> 05:20.279
Protect David!
06:15.709 --> 06:17.294
Take their swords!
06:19.421 --> 06:20.422
Jonathan!
06:50.619 --> 06:53.664
Fall back! Retreat!
06:53.747 --> 06:58.627
Retreat! Fall back! Retreat!
07:04.424 --> 07:05.801
Who was that?
07:16.937 --> 07:18.897
Oaz, raise your sword.
07:20.566 --> 07:21.775
No.
07:26.905 --> 07:31.326
It's light as a feather,
yet still so strong.
07:32.035 --> 07:35.581
Tha-That was my sword.
Are you going to replace it?
07:35.664 --> 07:36.999
Search the dead yourself.
07:38.083 --> 07:39.209
Eliab.
07:40.210 --> 07:41.837
Do not defy my orders again.
07:42.588 --> 07:43.964
Then do not tell me what to do.
07:48.177 --> 07:49.178
Look at this.
07:53.807 --> 07:54.850
More charcoal.
07:54.933 --> 07:58.729
Yes. More charcoal that will not
make it back to a Philistine forge.
07:58.812 --> 08:00.147
These are demon swords.
08:01.064 --> 08:03.901
David, do you think
these swords are cursed?
08:05.068 --> 08:08.071
- No, I do not.
- Good.
08:08.155 --> 08:12.492
Every time we face these weapons,
they are stronger and lighter.
08:13.285 --> 08:15.204
All of Philistia are armed with these.
08:15.704 --> 08:16.872
God is able.
08:19.875 --> 08:22.544
Plus, I have held one
far more perfect than this.
08:35.516 --> 08:37.184
It's difficult.
08:37.267 --> 08:40.812
I know, but it-it's important.
08:44.191 --> 08:46.318
Writing...
08:47.027 --> 08:49.821
Writing is how we remember
what came before us.
08:50.989 --> 08:56.203
Like the great stories
of Jacob, Moses and Noah.
08:56.286 --> 09:00.541
Who knows, maybe one day,
you will write down such a story. Hmm?
09:01.583 --> 09:05.462
I would write the story
of David the Giant Killer.
09:08.632 --> 09:10.467
That would be a very good one.
09:14.805 --> 09:16.056
Wonder how it ends.
09:38.912 --> 09:43.208
Saul has killed his thousands,
David his tens of thousands!
09:48.297 --> 09:52.885
Saul has killed his thousands,
David his tens of thousands!
09:53.385 --> 09:58.390
It has been time enough.
When will you forgive me?
10:00.017 --> 10:01.977
It is you who abandoned our bed.
10:06.064 --> 10:07.608
Do you have something to say?
10:11.361 --> 10:15.532
Surely you wouldn't have come all the way
to this side of the palace if you didn't.
10:24.208 --> 10:29.087
It is your name they should be chanting
and your son after you.
10:31.131 --> 10:32.841
They are chanting my name.
10:33.592 --> 10:38.263
I have killed my thousands.
David his tens of thousands.
10:38.347 --> 10:39.723
Yes, David.
10:39.806 --> 10:41.350
David! David!
10:41.433 --> 10:43.268
David...
10:45.854 --> 10:47.731
David.
10:49.066 --> 10:51.985
They would crown that boy
today if they could.
10:54.488 --> 10:56.615
He has driven your daughters apart
10:57.199 --> 10:59.785
and now he eclipses you
in the eyes of your people.
11:01.036 --> 11:04.414
He is a threat.
Why do you refuse to see it?
11:04.498 --> 11:05.499
Enough.
11:07.835 --> 11:11.797
Your suspicion is a poison to me
and everyone in this palace.
11:11.880 --> 11:16.552
My suspicion is a shield
to you and your throne.
11:17.636 --> 11:19.721
The sooner you realize that, the better.
11:33.110 --> 11:36.989
Our hero returns. More victories I'm told.
11:38.657 --> 11:41.118
We, uh... we have much to discuss.
11:41.201 --> 11:43.996
We are badly in need of a wedding planner.
11:44.079 --> 11:47.165
Yes, but another time please.
I would love to take my rest.
11:47.791 --> 11:50.169
Yes, of course. Of course.
12:05.309 --> 12:07.269
It's time to stop fighting over charcoal,
12:08.020 --> 12:11.106
start forging our own swords
to match these.
12:12.232 --> 12:15.319
It must require a great deal of heat
to forge weapons of this quality.
12:16.486 --> 12:20.324
Philistines would never sacrifice so many
lives raiding our coal mines otherwise.
12:25.621 --> 12:28.290
David swears
Goliath's blade is even stronger.
12:29.875 --> 12:31.502
If we are to stand any chance at all,
12:31.585 --> 12:34.922
we need that weapon
and the knowledge behind it.
12:35.631 --> 12:37.132
Do you know what became of it?
13:09.414 --> 13:11.083
Greetings, Lord Commander.
13:11.667 --> 13:13.961
What are you doing
in the City of the Priests?
13:14.711 --> 13:18.006
You're holding something here,
something brought here by your father.
13:18.882 --> 13:19.883
I need to see it.
13:20.801 --> 13:22.845
He instructed I reveal it to no one.
13:22.928 --> 13:24.263
As I instructed him.
13:49.788 --> 13:52.291
I've been trying to cipher
what is etched on it.
13:52.958 --> 13:54.209
Philistian markings?
13:54.877 --> 13:59.506
Mostly, but some are much older.
Egyptian, I believe.
14:01.383 --> 14:06.346
God, swords. Perhaps, "God and swords."
14:06.430 --> 14:07.472
No.
14:08.849 --> 14:10.684
No. "God of Swords."
14:13.270 --> 14:14.271
It's a signature.
14:34.291 --> 14:35.334
Thank you.
14:47.804 --> 14:50.140
Not bad. Getting better.
14:59.358 --> 15:00.359
Good.
15:01.068 --> 15:02.194
As the lion.
15:08.659 --> 15:10.911
- Can I ask you something?
- Mm-hmm.
15:12.454 --> 15:17.417
What does it feel like... to be anointed?
15:18.627 --> 15:23.423
Like Joshua, Samson,
the way my father was.
15:24.049 --> 15:26.802
Is. Your father is anointed.
15:27.302 --> 15:28.762
No, you don't have to explain.
15:28.846 --> 15:30.848
You can speak the truth to me.
15:32.182 --> 15:33.517
What does it feel like?
15:39.731 --> 15:45.863
Powerful, like fire or a rushing wind.
15:51.368 --> 15:55.330
I become more of something.
15:56.248 --> 15:58.458
Everything I feel is amplified.
15:58.959 --> 16:03.547
Passion, joy, even rage.
16:06.550 --> 16:07.801
It frightens me.
16:09.887 --> 16:11.513
I fear I may lose control.
16:14.057 --> 16:17.811
I cannot speak of it to anyone,
except maybe you now.
16:19.479 --> 16:22.900
No one understands. I don't understand.
16:26.028 --> 16:32.910
Sometimes I feel that to be anointed
is to be alone.
16:36.079 --> 16:37.331
You are not alone, David.
16:44.796 --> 16:47.216
I'm sorry the throne won't pass to you
as it should have.
17:08.612 --> 17:09.613
Hello, Princess.
17:12.824 --> 17:14.159
David.
17:14.243 --> 17:18.664
I heard you were teaching children
how to read, as you once taught me.
17:20.207 --> 17:22.167
You know how I love words.
17:24.920 --> 17:26.713
I miss hearing you sing them.
17:27.881 --> 17:32.302
So often I would sit at this very balcony
listening to your morning prayers.
17:33.804 --> 17:35.472
Your sister compares it to a rooster.
17:35.556 --> 17:39.393
Yes, well,
she does like her sleep.
17:41.979 --> 17:43.188
I have a gift for you.
17:50.654 --> 17:53.073
I began writing my own songs,
17:53.156 --> 17:57.244
although sometimes
I feel the words are from, um--
17:57.327 --> 17:58.453
God himself.
17:59.204 --> 18:00.205
Yes.
18:03.292 --> 18:04.626
I wanted you to have this.
18:16.680 --> 18:19.016
"The Lord is my shepherd,
18:20.726 --> 18:23.312
and I shall not be in need.
18:24.897 --> 18:27.983
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
18:29.443 --> 18:31.528
he leads me by still waters.
18:33.780 --> 18:35.407
He restores my soul."
18:42.706 --> 18:43.916
It's beautiful, David.
18:45.209 --> 18:47.127
I thought I would write it
about a shepherd.
18:47.711 --> 18:48.837
It is what I know.
18:54.384 --> 18:56.803
And will you write a love song
for my sister?
18:58.764 --> 19:02.309
No. I only write what is true.
19:05.395 --> 19:08.649
My wounds, they're... they're still healing.
19:09.983 --> 19:11.652
I do not wish to reopen them.
19:12.528 --> 19:16.323
- Mychal, I--
- It was good to see you, Commander.
19:18.492 --> 19:20.369
I praise Adonai you're safe.
19:44.518 --> 19:45.602
You're avoiding me.
19:46.812 --> 19:50.732
Mirab, the Philistines have no interest
in our marriage, blissful or otherwise.
19:50.816 --> 19:52.192
There are more battles I must fight
19:52.276 --> 19:53.735
- to be worthy of this house.
- Stop, David.
19:53.819 --> 19:56.488
You are delaying, you're making excuses.
19:56.572 --> 19:59.908
You've been gone for many seasons
defending against our enemies.
19:59.992 --> 20:01.577
I've waited long enough.
20:02.160 --> 20:06.498
Look, I understand
you still have feelings for my sister.
20:07.207 --> 20:08.208
I see it.
20:09.084 --> 20:13.589
But Mychal has moved on. She's happier.
She's on her own path.
20:14.298 --> 20:15.340
And you,
20:16.967 --> 20:21.138
you are a bold enough soldier to know
you can't keep marching backwards.
20:22.556 --> 20:26.059
So, the time has come
to honor my father's wishes.
20:27.561 --> 20:29.313
A date must be set.
20:31.815 --> 20:32.816
Do you agree?
20:37.529 --> 20:38.989
I am a servant of the king.
20:41.575 --> 20:42.576
Perfect.
20:47.414 --> 20:50.667
When I was in Endor, there was a...
there was a man there.
20:51.502 --> 20:57.508
He was a master metal forger.
Called himself the God of Swords.
20:59.426 --> 21:02.304
Endor? Abner...
21:05.474 --> 21:08.310
The witches there,
they would perform rituals on his weapons
21:09.353 --> 21:12.105
but the true power
came from his craftsmanship.
21:13.524 --> 21:16.443
I believe he has discovered
an entirely new metal.
21:17.027 --> 21:19.446
One that would decimate
even the finest bronze.
21:22.115 --> 21:23.700
My king, we need to find this man.
21:25.202 --> 21:29.039
I believe I can convince him to teach us
how to forge these weapons.
21:29.915 --> 21:33.418
- My army will convince him.
- No. If our army marches on Endor,
21:33.502 --> 21:36.505
the man will disappear
before we ever breach the city gates.
21:36.588 --> 21:41.635
This is not a job for an army,
but a handful of men.
21:42.386 --> 21:44.388
In that case,
you should not be one of them.
21:45.806 --> 21:49.476
My king. Saul.
21:52.271 --> 21:54.439
No one else knows Endor as I do.
21:55.023 --> 21:58.610
Yes. That is my fear.
22:00.362 --> 22:02.990
It is a lawless, godforsaken place.
22:03.073 --> 22:04.741
With your history there--
22:04.825 --> 22:08.745
I know. It's all in the past.
22:08.829 --> 22:10.122
Abner...
22:10.205 --> 22:11.707
It is all in my past.
22:14.626 --> 22:17.129
What matters now is the future,
22:17.212 --> 22:20.007
and in order to ensure it,
we must find this God of Swords.
23:14.561 --> 23:15.771
Why are you looking at me?
23:17.648 --> 23:22.444
I've noticed lately you seem
to be fighting more than the enemy.
23:23.153 --> 23:24.821
And who else would I be fighting?
23:26.865 --> 23:29.910
You wrestle with God
like Jacob in the old stories.
23:29.993 --> 23:30.994
God?
23:31.912 --> 23:32.913
Yes.
23:34.331 --> 23:39.002
Yes, I would fight him
if I could find him.
23:39.086 --> 23:41.964
Ah, Eliab. He's clearly with David.
23:48.136 --> 23:52.975
Why are we dressed like merchants? Huh?
I think he's turned us into spies.
23:53.934 --> 23:57.229
- And is that a problem?
- Yes. I make a terrible spy.
24:21.336 --> 24:22.337
Greetings.
24:24.298 --> 24:26.258
What is it?
24:26.341 --> 24:28.927
I don't like that man
24:29.887 --> 24:32.431
and I don't understand
why your father trusts him.
24:32.514 --> 24:36.727
Doeg? No, we don't trust him
but he is useful.
24:37.352 --> 24:42.482
Any animal who attacks on your behalf
will one day attack you.
24:42.566 --> 24:45.944
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm just... I'm worried.
24:46.028 --> 24:48.030
Oh, are we doing that now?
24:48.614 --> 24:49.615
What?
24:50.699 --> 24:52.451
Worrying about each other.
24:53.035 --> 24:54.536
It's sweet.
24:56.246 --> 24:57.247
Oh, what is this?
24:58.290 --> 25:00.042
- Dinner.
- No, this.
25:00.751 --> 25:03.378
You look so happy. It's very upsetting.
25:04.171 --> 25:05.756
I hear you have happy news of your own.
25:05.839 --> 25:07.633
Oh, what is this?
25:08.425 --> 25:10.344
David and Mirab have set a wedding date.
25:21.063 --> 25:23.273
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
25:42.501 --> 25:44.211
The city of Endor,
25:44.962 --> 25:48.882
refuge for killers, renegades,
deserters and criminals.
25:50.634 --> 25:51.635
Be on guard.
26:12.364 --> 26:14.741
Whatever you hear or see, take in stride.
26:15.784 --> 26:19.329
Do not show offense. We need to
draw as little attention as possible.
26:31.300 --> 26:34.636
Forgive me, Commander.
What are we doing here?
26:36.096 --> 26:40.684
We are merchants from Sidon
trying to make a fair profit on our wares.
26:42.227 --> 26:44.688
That's all you need to know
and leave the talking to me.
27:21.099 --> 27:26.688
Abner, I heard you were dead.
Slain by Goliath at the Battle of Elah.
27:28.232 --> 27:32.236
What brings you back here
where no one wants to see you?
27:32.319 --> 27:35.531
I'm looking for a man, a blacksmith.
27:35.614 --> 27:37.824
Name of God of Swords.
27:38.867 --> 27:40.452
This is his maker's mark.
27:42.162 --> 27:47.751
My friend here, he knows every person
and item of value within the city walls.
27:49.294 --> 27:52.047
He'd sell his own daughter
for a silver shekel.
27:55.676 --> 27:57.886
- Twenty-five.
- Seventy-five.
27:57.970 --> 28:01.890
Fifty, and if you argue,
you won't live to bargain again.
28:01.974 --> 28:05.394
I see you haven't changed,
Abner.
28:06.603 --> 28:11.441
Lord Commander of Israel.
Your mother must be so proud.
28:17.739 --> 28:19.408
Never mention my family again.
28:22.578 --> 28:23.912
Now take us to the God of Swords,
28:23.996 --> 28:26.915
and as you do, you'll tell me
everything you know about him.
28:29.501 --> 28:30.502
Follow me.
28:42.639 --> 28:47.936
I remember when I chose
my dress, the fabrics weren't as fancy
28:48.604 --> 28:51.690
but the feelings
were softer than the finest silk.
28:57.738 --> 28:59.489
Are you sure this is what you want?
29:01.950 --> 29:04.119
Of course. Why wouldn't I?
29:04.953 --> 29:09.374
Marriage for power and status
29:09.875 --> 29:13.003
without emotion
can come at significant cost.
29:13.086 --> 29:14.505
You seem to be enduring it with ease.
29:14.588 --> 29:15.839
With ease?
29:15.923 --> 29:16.965
Hmm.
29:17.841 --> 29:19.009
Not with ease.
29:20.052 --> 29:21.637
You know, Mother,
29:22.554 --> 29:25.057
if I have learned anything from you,
29:25.140 --> 29:26.934
it's that love...
29:29.269 --> 29:31.980
it serves no purpose but to make one weak.
29:34.316 --> 29:36.235
That was never
the lesson I intended to teach.
29:37.319 --> 29:38.946
Well, I was never that good at listening.
29:40.656 --> 29:41.657
I'm aware.
29:46.078 --> 29:47.829
I wanted to give you something.
29:58.674 --> 30:01.218
So you'll know that I am always with you.
30:04.471 --> 30:05.848
It's beautiful.
30:05.931 --> 30:07.266
You like it?
30:07.349 --> 30:08.475
I love it.
30:11.687 --> 30:13.438
I respect your decision,
30:15.232 --> 30:20.737
but if this is your choice,
you must be hardened with resolve.
30:22.656 --> 30:25.200
You will never have the luxury of tears.
30:28.453 --> 30:29.496
Never.
30:40.382 --> 30:42.301
And I do love your father.
30:43.719 --> 30:44.970
Still?
30:47.306 --> 30:48.307
Still.
31:02.613 --> 31:04.031
Tell me, my dear...
31:06.783 --> 31:08.160
how are my daughters?
31:10.370 --> 31:11.872
Have they made peace yet?
31:13.457 --> 31:15.542
They're finding their way, my king.
31:18.003 --> 31:20.422
No one can cause pain
like your own family.
31:23.008 --> 31:26.678
Time heals every wound.
31:30.432 --> 31:32.142
Except those that fester.
31:45.948 --> 31:49.952
Put a single shekel on the scales
and watch your fortune change.
31:50.035 --> 31:54.998
Tonight is the night copper turns
to silver and silver turns to gold!
31:56.166 --> 31:59.127
Brother, this is
the greatest day of my life.
32:01.672 --> 32:03.131
You have a shekel?
32:03.215 --> 32:05.926
No. The last time we gambled,
you lost my horse.
32:06.009 --> 32:07.219
- Brother!
- Oaz.
32:09.012 --> 32:11.014
It would be conspicuous if we didn't.
32:12.015 --> 32:14.309
Thank you, brother.
I'll double your money.
32:15.435 --> 32:18.313
- I'm not getting that back, am I?
- Definitely not.
32:19.022 --> 32:22.442
Place your final bets
and mind your distance.
32:24.361 --> 32:25.487
That's him.
32:26.363 --> 32:28.615
Release the serpents.
32:34.580 --> 32:37.124
Yes. Oh, yes.
32:37.207 --> 32:38.375
Come on.
32:39.168 --> 32:40.335
No!
32:43.589 --> 32:48.051
You may be right, Uriah.
I may be weak-minded.
32:51.096 --> 32:52.931
I would have bet on that one too.
32:53.015 --> 32:55.184
No, you wouldn't.
32:59.855 --> 33:03.609
God of Swords, we've traveled
a great distance to find you.
33:04.443 --> 33:05.652
Is that so?
33:08.488 --> 33:09.823
Perhaps you can help us.
33:09.907 --> 33:13.160
We hear you're even more skilled
with metal than snakes.
33:14.494 --> 33:16.914
Are you sure
you can afford this conversation?
33:17.998 --> 33:21.543
We'll pay you double what the Philistines
paid for the sword of the giant.
33:22.169 --> 33:25.756
That was a fine sword.
There is none like it.
33:27.049 --> 33:28.091
Indeed.
33:28.967 --> 33:29.968
Come with me.
34:09.174 --> 34:10.926
Come. You come closer.
34:28.944 --> 34:33.365
Iron. The name itself
means hardness and strength.
34:34.241 --> 34:35.909
Why is it so much stronger than bronze?
34:36.743 --> 34:41.790
It's skill. Higher levels of heat
creates stronger metal.
34:45.335 --> 34:46.962
If you're making hundreds of these,
34:47.045 --> 34:49.256
I assume it requires
a vast amount of fuel.
34:50.507 --> 34:51.508
Charcoal.
34:53.635 --> 34:56.096
The Philistines worship their many gods.
34:57.097 --> 34:59.016
Our people worship one god.
35:00.767 --> 35:02.895
But I worship only this.
35:02.978 --> 35:05.480
This is what decides man's destiny.
35:10.611 --> 35:12.946
I want you
to come with us to Gibeah,
35:13.030 --> 35:16.491
teach us how to make these iron weapons
by the thousands.
35:16.575 --> 35:19.620
I already escaped the Philistines
35:19.703 --> 35:23.207
because I wasn't interested
in being locked in their dungeons.
35:23.290 --> 35:26.084
What makes you think
I want to be locked in yours?
35:26.919 --> 35:29.254
Because I know this blade
is not all you care about.
35:32.716 --> 35:33.759
Your daughter.
35:35.511 --> 35:37.638
I know she's an Edomite slave.
35:38.222 --> 35:39.348
I know her name.
35:41.683 --> 35:43.143
Bathsheba.
35:44.561 --> 35:47.689
She was taken from you
to cover your debts.
35:48.982 --> 35:50.776
I know where you can find her.
35:52.611 --> 35:58.116
Return with us to Gibeah,
teach us how to make these weapons...
36:00.160 --> 36:02.037
and you'll get to see her face again.
36:11.755 --> 36:13.173
No, no, no.
36:14.967 --> 36:15.968
I have it.
36:27.604 --> 36:31.024
Ambush!
37:12.441 --> 37:15.736
Joab. You didn't...
you didn't ride out with Abner.
37:16.361 --> 37:17.863
He ordered me to stay.
37:20.157 --> 37:24.411
Abner and I,
we've had some discord of late.
37:24.494 --> 37:25.913
Hmm.
37:25.996 --> 37:28.999
And I also heard
you were offering reading lessons.
37:29.082 --> 37:31.502
But you already read.
37:32.002 --> 37:34.046
Hmm, good point.
37:35.422 --> 37:37.549
Well, you may say I've wasted a trip.
37:44.848 --> 37:46.099
What is bothering you?
37:48.769 --> 37:49.770
What do you mean?
37:51.104 --> 37:52.940
Nothing.
37:54.149 --> 37:55.609
No. What do you mean?
37:55.692 --> 37:58.445
Forgive me, Princess,
37:58.529 --> 38:01.782
but your hands.
38:03.659 --> 38:06.203
I've noticed you do that
when you're worried.
38:11.291 --> 38:14.670
Do you make a-a habit of watching
every little thing people do?
38:14.753 --> 38:17.589
Hmm, only the interesting ones.
38:21.260 --> 38:23.303
It's... It's David.
38:24.638 --> 38:26.598
I worry whenever he leaves.
38:28.809 --> 38:31.937
You do realize
he's about to marry your sister.
38:32.020 --> 38:34.815
They've set a wedding date, have they not?
38:36.024 --> 38:37.568
I can't help it.
38:40.529 --> 38:41.947
He has my heart.
38:43.574 --> 38:45.242
I fear he always will.
38:48.287 --> 38:51.415
Joab, will you do something for me?
38:51.999 --> 38:53.083
Anything.
38:54.501 --> 38:55.586
Protect him.
38:59.339 --> 39:00.924
I already am.
39:28.076 --> 39:29.536
Kezia.
39:29.620 --> 39:31.830
Doeg, you shouldn't be here.
39:31.914 --> 39:33.624
You mean in the servants' area?
39:34.208 --> 39:38.754
We all serve someone.
We both seek opportunities.
39:41.840 --> 39:46.220
You seem unwell.
Should I summon a guard?
39:47.429 --> 39:48.889
Hmm. No.
39:48.972 --> 39:53.101
I need to know how the king
cured himself of his curse.
39:53.185 --> 39:55.270
And how would I know that?
39:55.354 --> 39:59.316
There are no secrets in this palace
that do not find my ears.
40:02.277 --> 40:03.278
I can't help you.
40:03.362 --> 40:06.073
Can't? Can't or won't?
40:07.282 --> 40:10.619
Need I remind you I am
the one who brought you here?
40:10.702 --> 40:12.871
I saved you, Kezia.
40:12.955 --> 40:14.998
I saved myself.
40:16.917 --> 40:20.921
Doeg, I want nothing more to do with you.
40:22.840 --> 40:26.343
Perhaps I speak to the king
about the whispers I hear.
40:26.426 --> 40:31.014
Perhaps I should speak to him
and watch you lose your head.
40:31.974 --> 40:34.685
I've stepped beyond your control, Doeg.
40:35.435 --> 40:38.772
Now it is you
who owes your life to my whim.
40:41.733 --> 40:43.151
Shame on you.
41:09.845 --> 41:12.014
On your knees, Israelites.
41:16.894 --> 41:17.895
Get off me!
41:19.021 --> 41:20.689
I kneel to God, not to man.
41:31.950 --> 41:32.951
Not to man.
41:33.994 --> 41:40.083
To the priestess of El, mistress of Baal,
sister of Asherah.
41:40.626 --> 41:44.838
You will kneel to the Witch of Endor.
42:16.995 --> 42:20.165
And you said you'd never come home.
42:23.961 --> 42:25.295
Hello, Mother.
42:28.966 --> 42:30.092
Tell me, Abner.
42:30.968 --> 42:34.221
Did you think they would
lose respect for you
42:34.847 --> 42:37.808
or perhaps they would have
come to fear you?
42:39.309 --> 42:42.771
I have so many reasons to kill you
42:44.147 --> 42:47.192
for refusing offerings to our gods,
42:47.985 --> 42:52.823
for sitting beside the king
as he outlawed witchcraft,
42:53.615 --> 43:00.497
or for killing a daughter of Endor
to cover the sins of your house.
43:02.124 --> 43:05.752
Yes, any of these will do.
43:08.630 --> 43:14.887
Ask my son and he'll tell you
why people truly fear me.
43:17.431 --> 43:19.725
I speak with the dead.
43:20.726 --> 43:24.104
They show me many things.
43:34.239 --> 43:37.951
I am not afraid of your cheap tricks.
43:38.035 --> 43:41.330
Oh. Tell me, son of Judah.
43:43.081 --> 43:44.625
Does your conscience still drown
43:44.708 --> 43:47.211
in the blood of the innocent family
you slaughtered?
43:48.420 --> 43:50.339
I hear their cries.
43:51.924 --> 43:54.426
The same ones that haunt you in the night.
44:08.565 --> 44:10.567
Son of Saul.
44:11.068 --> 44:13.153
Crown prince of Israel.
44:15.364 --> 44:18.283
Yet, when I look into your future,
I see nothing at all.
44:19.201 --> 44:21.078
A life cut short.
44:22.287 --> 44:24.248
How does it feel, Prince,
44:24.331 --> 44:28.752
to know the crown meant for your head
will sit on another?
44:29.461 --> 44:34.967
The crown will rest on the one
deserving of it. That is enough for me.
44:45.519 --> 44:47.104
What have you brought here, Abner?
44:49.898 --> 44:50.899
Who are you?
44:51.817 --> 44:53.277
You speak to the dead.
44:53.986 --> 44:55.988
I speak to their creator,
44:57.364 --> 45:00.450
and he sees you through me.
45:02.077 --> 45:03.537
My name is David.
45:06.081 --> 45:07.666
You have great power...
45:09.918 --> 45:12.212
yet you are weakened by a lie.
45:13.964 --> 45:16.300
When you finally live in the truth,
45:17.342 --> 45:22.681
woe to the witch or the king
who tries to stand in your way.
45:25.225 --> 45:28.020
Your power will break those around you
45:29.062 --> 45:32.733
and your house will never know peace.
45:36.195 --> 45:37.654
Let them go, all of them.
45:38.238 --> 45:41.617
I do not want their blood on my hands.
45:49.124 --> 45:50.834
But one more thing, Abner.
45:53.504 --> 45:57.049
One day soon,
the house of Saul will be defeated.
45:57.716 --> 45:59.468
Not from without.
46:00.802 --> 46:03.180
It will crumble from within,
46:04.306 --> 46:07.392
and you will watch helpless
46:08.602 --> 46:11.980
as you draw your last breath.
46:36.463 --> 46:37.548
Very impressive.
46:38.298 --> 46:40.884
An army carrying such weapons
will crush the Hebrews.
46:41.385 --> 46:46.223
We will advance beyond the border villages
and then we will carve up Israel.
46:46.723 --> 46:50.143
Already dividing the spoils
of your victory, Achish?
46:50.227 --> 46:56.066
As the dog returns to his vomit,
so the fool repeats his folly.
46:58.694 --> 47:03.365
All of Philistia still bleeds
after your last promise of victory.
47:04.283 --> 47:05.784
Then it was giants.
47:06.493 --> 47:11.081
Now you require more swords
and you want thousands of them?
47:12.708 --> 47:14.418
All paid for at my expense.
47:14.501 --> 47:16.170
Our shared expense.
47:18.088 --> 47:20.883
Exactly how much time
and silver will this require?
47:20.966 --> 47:23.135
As long and as much is needed.
47:25.012 --> 47:29.224
I will find my own forgers
and fight my own wars.
47:31.560 --> 47:32.686
Perhaps against you.
47:36.398 --> 47:39.276
Thank you for this gift, but I am no fool.
47:39.985 --> 47:43.405
No. You're a great and wise king...
47:47.910 --> 47:49.328
whose time has passed.
47:58.420 --> 47:59.838
Dagnor!
48:07.137 --> 48:12.309
Now, young Prince, would you like to
suffer your father's fate, hmm?
48:14.061 --> 48:16.730
Or join a new generation of kings?
48:21.109 --> 48:24.404
I will... I will join you.
48:24.488 --> 48:25.489
Good.
48:26.365 --> 48:31.745
Then you'll have your father's throne
and, uh, one-third of Israel.
48:44.842 --> 48:46.343
All hail King Hanun.
48:47.177 --> 48:48.929
All hail King Hanun.
48:56.979 --> 48:58.272
Do not defy me again.
48:59.273 --> 49:02.985
We are both kings.
I've simply removed an obstacle.
49:03.986 --> 49:05.696
He was a king of Philistia.
49:06.280 --> 49:07.781
And now he is no more.
49:10.409 --> 49:12.369
Come, Achish. You think too much.
49:17.875 --> 49:18.876
Hmm?
49:47.905 --> 49:51.450
Just know if you are lying
about my daughter,
49:51.533 --> 49:55.412
I will kill you, your mother and your men,
49:57.247 --> 50:00.751
and make a thousand Philistine swords
just to spite you all.
50:03.128 --> 50:04.796
You will get everything you were promised.
50:06.715 --> 50:08.800
Men, hear me.
50:11.220 --> 50:15.557
Everything that witch said
is meant to disturb your mind,
50:16.767 --> 50:19.728
to sow distrust and chaos in Israel.
50:21.313 --> 50:23.106
Never breathe a word of it to anyone.
50:32.282 --> 50:33.283
We must have words.
50:34.618 --> 50:35.786
Go on.
50:35.869 --> 50:37.663
When are you going to stop
acting like a fool?
50:39.331 --> 50:41.625
Our brother has been anointed by the seer.
50:42.876 --> 50:45.546
He has proven himself in battle
time and again.
50:46.380 --> 50:50.676
And last night, somehow,
saved all of our lives from that witch.
50:50.759 --> 50:53.804
Our brother is a danger to himself
and to the rest of our family.
50:53.887 --> 50:57.349
No, Eliab. Your issue is not with David,
it's with yourself.
50:59.643 --> 51:01.061
Open your eyes.
51:01.979 --> 51:06.692
So you don't get to be the
hero of our family anymore, too bad.
51:09.152 --> 51:11.446
- You know who made David the hero?
- Hmm?
51:12.489 --> 51:13.490
God did.
51:21.790 --> 51:25.669
It's blasphemy. The mere notion
of her knowing our destiny.
51:26.712 --> 51:28.547
And yet, if she was able
to see the truth about you...
51:32.759 --> 51:35.762
I will admit, I worry about my own future.
51:36.555 --> 51:39.850
Jonathan, none of us
know what truly lies ahead.
51:41.602 --> 51:46.523
But she was right about one thing,
we must live in our truth.
51:48.901 --> 51:52.196
And that means cherishing
the light of each new day.
51:54.489 --> 51:56.450
God grants us no promise of another.
51:58.911 --> 52:02.456
And after all this darkness...
52:07.002 --> 52:08.295
ride towards the light.
52:14.801 --> 52:20.098
If there's love to be found,
I must embrace it while I still can.
52:20.974 --> 52:24.186
Jonathan, what are you doing here?
52:59.513 --> 53:00.931
What are we going to do now?
53:05.561 --> 53:06.603
My king.
53:07.855 --> 53:12.025
David. Was the mission successful?
53:12.109 --> 53:15.153
Have you returned with the God of Swords?
53:15.237 --> 53:16.238
We have.
53:17.239 --> 53:19.575
But first, I must speak to you
of another matter.
53:20.576 --> 53:21.577
Speak.
53:22.911 --> 53:23.912
I cannot...
53:30.502 --> 53:33.130
I will not marry Mirab.
53:35.841 --> 53:39.553
I do not wish to defy you
but I know the truth.
53:41.013 --> 53:45.058
If she truly loved me and I her, then...
then I would obey you.
53:46.643 --> 53:50.063
But I know in my heart
we cannot be together.
53:52.733 --> 53:55.694
And if you wish it not
that I be with Mychal, then so be it.
53:58.780 --> 54:03.619
After all, who am I
that I be son-in-law to the king?
54:04.703 --> 54:06.496
What are you saying, David?
54:08.790 --> 54:13.795
You choose to refuse my command?
54:16.924 --> 54:18.842
I choose to live in the truth.
54:23.555 --> 54:24.890
May the king live forever.
54:28.519 --> 54:29.520
David.
54:38.153 --> 54:39.321
Son of Jesse.
54:45.911 --> 54:49.665
Decisions have consequences.
54:52.000 --> 54:53.126
So do lies.
54:54.628 --> 54:57.047
God guides a man's destiny.
54:59.633 --> 55:00.634
Do what you must.
