WEBVTT

00:14.056 --> 00:16.099
<i>Previously on</i> House of David...

00:16.183 --> 00:18.143
To my beautiful daughter

00:18.227 --> 00:22.064
and my new son, the Giant Slayer.

00:22.147 --> 00:24.399
- Will you do something for me?
- Anything.

00:24.483 --> 00:26.818
- Protect him.
- I already am.

00:26.902 --> 00:29.988
This sword,
it spars like I've never seen before.

00:30.072 --> 00:33.575
You take it to Nob, you hide it
with the other sacred objects.

00:33.659 --> 00:36.912
Whispers say
that Samuel visited our lands.

00:36.995 --> 00:38.914
If you knew more of it, you would tell me.

00:38.997 --> 00:40.916
- I would.
- This is because of David.

00:40.999 --> 00:42.417
<i>This is not his fault or yours.</i>

00:42.501 --> 00:44.837
You will be the one to redeem our family.

00:44.920 --> 00:50.384
- You show me mercy now?
- It's time for you to decide your path.

00:53.387 --> 00:57.015
- You murdered Dinah.
- No one can know what you saw today.

00:57.808 --> 01:00.894
<i>The traitor you seek
has been here in your house.</i>

01:00.978 --> 01:04.231
The anointed one... is David.

01:04.314 --> 01:07.901
No more deception. Did Samuel choose you?

01:08.735 --> 01:12.030
No. God chose me.

01:27.379 --> 01:30.424
My king, I wish you no harm.

01:47.107 --> 01:49.276
Please. Don't make me fight you.

01:49.359 --> 01:52.613
Careful, boy. I am king for a reason.

02:22.684 --> 02:27.314
I said...
I don't want to fight you.

02:34.696 --> 02:37.032
Eshbaal, get him!

03:03.892 --> 03:06.228
Do not let him escape!

03:08.522 --> 03:09.565
Guards!

03:09.648 --> 03:11.650
Find the son of Jesse!

03:13.569 --> 03:14.653
David?

03:14.736 --> 03:15.946
David!

03:18.156 --> 03:19.324
Stop!

03:23.078 --> 03:26.665
Follow me! Guards, after him!

03:26.748 --> 03:28.750
Abner, gather my men!

03:33.005 --> 03:34.798
- Let's see if your men can take him.
- Eliab.

03:45.475 --> 03:47.728
- What is this?
- Restrain him.

03:47.811 --> 03:51.356
No. What are you doing?
Don't touch me. No!

03:52.357 --> 03:53.358
Take him away.

03:53.442 --> 03:55.319
What are you doing?

03:55.402 --> 03:58.864
No, no, no!

04:01.742 --> 04:06.538
David, his brother, has betrayed the king.

04:06.622 --> 04:08.332
I saw it with my own eyes.

04:09.082 --> 04:13.378
Now, I know many of you have served him.
Have fought for him.

04:13.462 --> 04:18.342
But any who remain loyal to David
is a traitor to the House of Saul.

04:18.884 --> 04:22.179
I want 20 men at each gate of this city.

04:22.262 --> 04:24.598
Sweep every house, every field,

04:24.681 --> 04:26.141
every dung heap!

04:27.392 --> 04:29.645
- And find him.
- He's gone toward the eastern gate.

04:30.270 --> 04:31.730
Injured. So move quickly.

04:31.813 --> 04:33.023
Go!

05:18.110 --> 05:19.862
David? What... What's happened?

05:19.945 --> 05:21.071
Go pack your things.

05:21.697 --> 05:23.615
- We must leave.
- What's going on? David.

05:23.699 --> 05:25.784
- Listen, we must go. Now.
- You're hurt, you're...

05:25.868 --> 05:26.910
David, look at...

05:26.994 --> 05:28.662
What happened? Who did this to you?

05:28.745 --> 05:29.997
Your father.

05:30.080 --> 05:33.292
What? Is he... He's sick again.
I-I will go to him.

05:33.375 --> 05:36.044
No, no. You don't understand.
No, he is trying to kill me.

05:36.128 --> 05:38.505
- What?
- We must go. Now.

05:38.589 --> 05:39.756
Pack your things quickly.

05:40.382 --> 05:42.551
- No, David, wait. David, stop.
- Mychal, please. Mychal.

05:42.634 --> 05:45.304
Please, just... just tell me the truth.

05:49.766 --> 05:51.268
Shortly after I met you,

05:52.561 --> 05:53.937
Samuel came to Bethlehem.

05:54.771 --> 05:56.023
To my father's house.

05:57.232 --> 05:58.525
He anointed me.

06:00.319 --> 06:01.320
As what?

06:03.614 --> 06:04.615
As king.

06:05.449 --> 06:07.492
Listen.

06:07.576 --> 06:09.620
- We don't have much time. We must go.
- King?

06:11.205 --> 06:13.624
You... You knew this...

06:14.124 --> 06:16.210
- You knew this the whole time.
- Mychal. Mychal, please.

06:16.293 --> 06:19.546
When you were playing for my father,
when you swore loyalty to him.

06:19.630 --> 06:21.381
And I am loyal to him. I'm loyal to you.

06:21.465 --> 06:24.384
- When you comforted me as I was grieving...
- No.

06:24.468 --> 06:25.552
...you knew.

06:25.636 --> 06:27.179
I-I cried to you.

06:27.262 --> 06:29.723
Mychal, I was trying to protect you.
That's why I didn't tell you.

06:29.806 --> 06:32.351
So you would have held this forever,
from me? From...

06:32.434 --> 06:34.937
From our children, David?
You would've never told me?

06:35.020 --> 06:38.398
Mychal, he slaughtered
an innocent family, my neighbors,

06:39.483 --> 06:41.485
because he believed
they were the anointed.

06:41.568 --> 06:43.278
I hoped you would never have to know,

06:43.362 --> 06:45.948
but please... I will tell you everything
once we are safe.

06:46.031 --> 06:48.325
- Please trust me.
- How can I trust you?

06:48.408 --> 06:50.786
You have been lying to me
from the moment that we met.

06:50.869 --> 06:54.581
- I... I haven't lied to you.
- You are the reason for his torment.

06:54.665 --> 06:55.707
It was you.

06:55.791 --> 06:57.084
- You were the threat to the throne.
- No.

06:57.167 --> 06:59.044
You were the reason he banished my mother.

06:59.127 --> 07:00.504
- No, I am not a liar.
- It was you.

07:00.587 --> 07:02.339
I am not a threat. God chose me.

07:07.761 --> 07:09.930
God chose my father.

07:12.057 --> 07:14.309
He did.

07:16.353 --> 07:17.729
My love, please.

07:19.147 --> 07:22.442
If you stay, he will use you against me.

07:24.570 --> 07:26.321
You know what he's capable of.

07:29.908 --> 07:32.327
David, come. Come quickly.

07:34.121 --> 07:36.832
You have to go. Come. Quick, quick.

07:39.918 --> 07:41.670
Go. You have to go.
I will come and find you.

07:41.753 --> 07:43.130
- Please, please.
- Go! Go!

07:43.797 --> 07:44.840
- Mychal, please.
- Go.

07:44.923 --> 07:46.300
Please.

07:46.383 --> 07:47.384
A moment.

07:47.467 --> 07:48.468
Go.

08:00.355 --> 08:01.565
Joab?

08:01.648 --> 08:02.649
Is he here?

08:05.402 --> 08:08.822
Yes. [pants] Joab, I'm afraid.

08:08.906 --> 08:12.993
It will be fine, but he must leave.
You have little time. Minutes perhaps.

08:13.076 --> 08:14.453
It's all I can buy you.

08:29.718 --> 08:31.470
David.

08:32.721 --> 08:34.765
Mychal. Come.

08:38.602 --> 08:39.811
Come.

09:23.522 --> 09:24.690
Find David!

09:24.773 --> 09:26.859
You two, check the western gates now.

09:26.942 --> 09:27.985
Yes, Joab.

09:29.528 --> 09:31.113
- Anything?
- No, Commander.

09:31.655 --> 09:33.615
- What of his home?
- He's not there.

09:34.241 --> 09:36.493
- You searched it yourself?
- I did.

09:44.793 --> 09:46.545
Mychal!

09:47.671 --> 09:49.798
Uh... One moment. I'm not yet dressed.

09:49.882 --> 09:52.217
- Open this door, Mychal!
- Just a moment!

09:55.012 --> 09:56.013
Abner!

09:56.972 --> 09:58.265
- Is he here?
- He...

09:58.348 --> 09:59.349
- Speak the truth.
- He is...

09:59.433 --> 10:02.477
- He's sleeping. He's not well.
- Step aside. Step aside.

10:02.561 --> 10:04.396
Abner, he's... he's not well. I told you.

10:05.147 --> 10:07.858
Stop. What are you--

10:09.902 --> 10:11.570
Have you lost your mind?

10:14.948 --> 10:17.326
He tried to kill your father. And Eshbaal.

10:18.202 --> 10:20.621
You... You saw this?
You saw this with your own eyes?

10:20.704 --> 10:23.290
Abner.

10:33.467 --> 10:34.927
Where did he go?

10:35.010 --> 10:36.011
I don't know.

10:36.094 --> 10:37.930
- And what did he tell you?
- He said nothing to me.

10:38.013 --> 10:39.765
- He must've said something.
- No. He said nothing.

10:39.848 --> 10:42.226
Mychal, don't lie to me.

10:42.309 --> 10:45.479
Do you want to die along with him?
What did he tell you?

10:46.730 --> 10:48.815
He told me he was anointed king.

10:51.652 --> 10:54.446
Dav... That's not possible.

10:55.531 --> 10:58.659
What is he planning? Where did he go?

10:58.742 --> 11:01.286
- Let go of me. Please.
- Remove your hands from her.

11:02.829 --> 11:06.875
Think carefully, Joab.
There will be no coming back from this.

11:06.959 --> 11:10.254
There will be nothing
to come back to once David is our king.

11:11.255 --> 11:14.424
- Traitor!
- Leave the room, Princess.

11:15.425 --> 11:16.593
It is over, Lord Commander.

11:16.677 --> 11:18.220
Joab, please.

11:18.303 --> 11:21.765
Don't. Don't. No.

11:33.318 --> 11:36.113
Joab, your father will want to see you.

11:36.196 --> 11:39.700
If I were you,
I would have better answers.

11:39.783 --> 11:41.535
Princess, leave.

11:51.587 --> 11:52.754
Guards!

12:07.311 --> 12:09.646
Joab. What is happening?

12:10.230 --> 12:13.400
- Saul knows the truth.
- About what?

12:14.026 --> 12:15.319
About David.

12:29.208 --> 12:30.375
I do not understand.

12:32.878 --> 12:33.962
How long have you known?

12:34.546 --> 12:35.881
Long enough.

12:36.465 --> 12:38.217
Joab, I tried--

12:39.134 --> 12:40.636
We have no time.

12:41.470 --> 12:43.889
Abner is sending soldiers to your home.

12:44.598 --> 12:46.308
- Go.
- And what about you?

12:47.309 --> 12:48.685
I must gather some men.

12:49.394 --> 12:51.063
- Go!
- Yes.

12:51.146 --> 12:54.107
Cousin. Why are you doing this?

12:55.025 --> 12:57.361
This is what God wants, isn't it?

13:10.332 --> 13:12.543
Father!

13:12.626 --> 13:13.836
Abinadab!

13:13.919 --> 13:14.920
Eliab.

13:15.003 --> 13:17.005
- What has happened?
- We must go. Now.

13:17.089 --> 13:19.007
- Go? Where?
- David has been discovered.

13:19.091 --> 13:20.843
- The king's guard is not far behind. Come.
- Father, must I go?

13:20.926 --> 13:24.263
Eliab. I will not abandon our home.

13:24.346 --> 13:25.806
Well, stay or go, this place will burn.

13:26.431 --> 13:28.725
You remain here,
and you will burn along with it.

13:28.809 --> 13:32.729
David is a prince of Israel now.
The king would not dare kill us.

13:32.813 --> 13:35.357
Yes, he would! And he will.

13:36.233 --> 13:37.985
And believe me, Father, we must flee.

13:38.068 --> 13:39.152
Where is David? Is he safe?

13:39.736 --> 13:42.072
I do not know. I cannot save him.

13:46.118 --> 13:48.537
But I can save our family. Now come.

13:49.413 --> 13:52.332
You pack your things
and you say goodbye to this house.

13:54.918 --> 13:56.211
Leave nothing behind.

13:57.421 --> 13:59.715
- Come. Abinadab. Help me.
- Come.

14:04.178 --> 14:06.471
I'm happy to dine
with your family, my love.

14:06.555 --> 14:08.724
I just wish we had a few more days away.

14:08.807 --> 14:11.393
- Mmm.
- Why the urgency?

14:12.394 --> 14:15.314
It's tradition, every new moon.

14:17.441 --> 14:20.235
Although, there is not much
of a family left to dine with.

14:23.071 --> 14:24.489
What is this?

14:25.657 --> 14:26.992
Get down.

14:34.625 --> 14:35.626
Stop the carriage.

14:39.963 --> 14:41.381
David.

14:43.550 --> 14:44.718
Are you alone?

14:45.969 --> 14:47.221
Yes.

14:48.013 --> 14:49.473
What are you doing here?

14:50.140 --> 14:52.559
Your father, he knows.

14:52.643 --> 14:54.061
He tried to kill me.

14:57.773 --> 14:59.942
- What?
- All of the palace is hunting me,

15:00.025 --> 15:02.027
but no matter what they say to you,
they are lying.

15:02.110 --> 15:03.946
I am loyal to the king.

15:04.821 --> 15:06.907
I have never sinned against him,
I swear to you.

15:08.534 --> 15:10.619
If I am guilty of wrongdoing,
kill me yourself.

15:11.703 --> 15:12.955
I don't understand.

15:14.289 --> 15:16.124
No, if this were true,
my father would've told me.

15:16.208 --> 15:19.253
- I would've warned you.
- He knows that. Of our friendship.

15:21.338 --> 15:24.216
Jonathan, you are the only person
I can trust. Please.

15:25.217 --> 15:26.593
I need your help.

15:29.596 --> 15:33.475
I love you as a brother,
and as my own soul.

15:35.185 --> 15:36.478
Stay here.

15:37.771 --> 15:39.064
I will find answers.

15:40.816 --> 15:41.817
Wait.

15:47.030 --> 15:48.240
Give this to Mychal.

15:52.953 --> 15:55.289
- Stay hidden until it's safe.
- How will I know?

16:00.419 --> 16:02.254
There's a field below the eastern wall.

16:03.714 --> 16:05.382
I'll practice with my bow there tomorrow.

16:06.175 --> 16:09.261
If I fire an arrow beyond my arm bearer,
let this be a sign that I was...

16:10.137 --> 16:11.221
not successful.

16:12.639 --> 16:13.932
You may go in safety.

16:17.853 --> 16:21.732
Forgive me, brother.
I did not choose this path.

16:23.734 --> 16:25.068
There's nothing to forgive.

16:26.570 --> 16:28.113
My father chose this path.

16:52.471 --> 16:55.098
Are those tears for your husband
who betrayed me?

16:55.766 --> 16:58.477
I've just now learned of Dinah's death.

16:58.560 --> 17:02.022
I've come to beg you...

17:03.065 --> 17:04.441
no more bloodshed.

17:05.150 --> 17:06.235
Please, Fath--

17:07.861 --> 17:09.696
You do not need to speak.

17:11.490 --> 17:12.908
Your sister told me everything.

17:14.743 --> 17:18.038
Why you did this.
The reason for your betrayal.

17:19.623 --> 17:22.084
She told me this treason you committed...

17:23.126 --> 17:26.129
...was forced upon you.

17:28.465 --> 17:31.009
That David threatened to kill you.

17:32.302 --> 17:34.012
Is that true?

17:37.015 --> 17:39.935
Mmm.

17:45.691 --> 17:47.067
I am so sorry.

17:48.235 --> 17:50.487
I put you in this danger.

17:51.363 --> 17:53.240
I should never have let you marry him.

17:58.871 --> 18:01.874
You are safe now.

18:03.792 --> 18:05.544
Safe in my arms.

18:18.473 --> 18:19.474
Mirab?

18:27.983 --> 18:29.735
Jonathan will be arriving soon.

18:30.861 --> 18:32.988
This will be difficult news for him.

18:33.614 --> 18:36.283
I need your loyalty now more than ever.

19:08.857 --> 19:10.067
Seems you were right, brother.

19:10.776 --> 19:12.110
God chose David.

19:13.111 --> 19:14.821
And this is what is left
for the rest of us.

19:14.905 --> 19:16.198
Eliab.

19:16.823 --> 19:18.075
I warned him, Father.

19:18.909 --> 19:22.663
Time and again,
but he never listens and he never has.

19:22.746 --> 19:24.373
There is a purpose in this.

19:24.456 --> 19:27.918
I am so weary
of hearing of David's purpose.

19:29.503 --> 19:31.755
Every time he stumbles,
"Oh, it is God's will."

19:32.464 --> 19:35.008
Every mess he makes, we are the ones
who clean it up. And for what?

19:35.092 --> 19:37.177
I was talking about your purpose, Eliab.

19:37.261 --> 19:39.680
Why did you take her as a wife?

19:39.763 --> 19:41.682
- What?
- Why?

19:41.765 --> 19:44.935
Why were you not content
with the sons my mother bore you?

19:45.936 --> 19:50.607
Eliab. Come. Come! [sighs] Listen to me.

19:51.316 --> 19:55.028
This burden that you carry
to redeem our family,

19:55.112 --> 19:57.197
I put that onto you.

19:57.281 --> 20:00.742
It was not fair,
but Son, your work is complete.

20:01.368 --> 20:03.370
You need no longer carry it.

20:04.037 --> 20:05.622
But I have carried it.

20:05.706 --> 20:08.417
And I do carry it!

20:08.500 --> 20:10.377
And I have done things, Father.

20:11.670 --> 20:15.841
Things that I cannot forget!
Things that I cannot atone for!

20:15.924 --> 20:18.302
There is no sin God cannot redeem.

20:18.385 --> 20:20.888
- You do not know.
- I know this.

20:22.139 --> 20:24.224
You must make a decision.

20:24.308 --> 20:26.894
Let go of this bitterness, Eliab,

20:26.977 --> 20:28.770
or it will consume you.

20:29.688 --> 20:33.317
- Let go. Let go!
- I cannot.

20:34.610 --> 20:36.236
I cannot forgive him.

20:36.904 --> 20:38.614
- Listen to me.
- Please, Father.

20:38.697 --> 20:41.158
It is not your brother
that you need to forgive.

20:41.241 --> 20:44.119
Stop concerning yourself
with David's path.

20:44.203 --> 20:47.414
Whatever God requires of you,
he will reveal it.

20:47.497 --> 20:49.708
- No.
- You need to quiet yourself.

20:49.791 --> 20:51.293
You need to be still.

20:51.376 --> 20:53.545
You must stop fighting.

20:54.254 --> 20:57.674
Stop.

21:03.472 --> 21:04.890
- You keep them safe.
- What?

21:04.973 --> 21:08.101
- Hey, Eliab. Where are you going? Eliab!
- Does it matter?

21:20.030 --> 21:21.698
He asked me to give this to you.

21:26.537 --> 21:27.579
What does it say?

21:29.081 --> 21:30.958
To be strong and courageous.

21:32.835 --> 21:34.962
Jonathan, is it true?

21:36.129 --> 21:37.589
Did Samuel name him?

21:54.648 --> 21:55.649
Have a seat.

21:59.194 --> 22:00.195
Sit.

22:07.202 --> 22:09.454
So many people
missing from this table.

22:11.540 --> 22:12.958
What of the rumors I hear?

22:13.876 --> 22:15.919
Of my father, the great king,

22:16.420 --> 22:18.922
ordering the execution
of a prince of Israel.

22:20.757 --> 22:24.636
Surely you would never do that.
Not without consulting me.

22:24.720 --> 22:27.055
- Who told you this?
- David.

22:27.139 --> 22:28.682
He found me.

22:29.391 --> 22:31.518
Asked if he could return
to his father's home to worship.

22:32.060 --> 22:34.271
- And did you allow it?
- I did.

22:35.314 --> 22:38.066
- You let him escape?
- Escape what, Father?

22:41.069 --> 22:43.238
Jonathan, uh...

22:43.322 --> 22:45.407
This is going to be difficult to hear.

22:46.325 --> 22:48.619
David tried to assassinate your father,
the king.

22:48.702 --> 22:52.080
No. No, actually we tried to murder him.

22:52.164 --> 22:54.374
The forge in Philistia, I was there.

22:54.458 --> 22:57.419
He did try to kill Father. I saw it.

22:58.295 --> 22:59.379
Mmm.

22:59.463 --> 23:03.550
Father... do you remember
when all hope was lost?

23:05.844 --> 23:08.180
One man stood to defend you.
Defend all of Israel.

23:09.806 --> 23:11.433
You remember when the giant fell?

23:12.476 --> 23:13.894
That was long ago.

23:13.977 --> 23:16.563
Then remember how David loves you.

23:18.315 --> 23:20.567
How he loves Mychal. And me.

23:21.985 --> 23:23.946
He would never do anything to hurt us.

23:24.571 --> 23:27.783
On my life, I swear to you.

23:27.866 --> 23:29.618
He is a threat.

23:29.701 --> 23:31.995
David is not the threat, Father!

23:32.704 --> 23:35.207
You son of a perverse woman.

23:36.333 --> 23:40.629
You think I do not know
you choose your friendship with David

23:40.712 --> 23:41.797
over loyalty to this house?

23:41.880 --> 23:43.632
David is loyal to this house.

23:43.715 --> 23:47.135
As long as David lives,
your throne will never be established.

23:47.219 --> 23:50.222
A throne only has power
if a just king sits on it.

23:50.305 --> 23:52.766
And there is no justice
in murdering David.

23:54.268 --> 23:55.686
You challenge my decision?

23:56.353 --> 23:57.354
Yes.

24:00.399 --> 24:01.483
How dare you?

24:01.567 --> 24:03.068
David is innocent.

24:03.151 --> 24:06.029
You betray me.
You betray the House of Saul!

24:06.113 --> 24:08.740
And you betray the God who anointed you!

24:10.242 --> 24:14.079
Father!

24:26.216 --> 24:27.342
I'm sorry.

24:27.426 --> 24:30.721
Jonathan. Wait.

24:32.848 --> 24:35.934
I am ashamed to be your son.

25:07.341 --> 25:08.800
That was terrible.

25:08.884 --> 25:11.428
Uh, you distracted me.

25:11.512 --> 25:13.347
- I'll go fetch it.
- No, no.

25:13.972 --> 25:18.101
No, it's too far.
I'll fetch it myself, I need the walk.

25:18.185 --> 25:20.604
Here. Take these back to the armory.

25:21.647 --> 25:22.981
Thank you, Reuben.

25:51.969 --> 25:53.011
It isn't safe.

25:54.388 --> 25:57.599
I've ordered the guards
east of here to be removed,

25:57.683 --> 25:59.768
clear you a path to Raham.

26:00.686 --> 26:01.979
Samuel.

26:03.188 --> 26:04.565
Thought that's where you might go.

26:06.108 --> 26:07.109
Yes.

26:09.027 --> 26:11.738
I'm sorry. I tried.

26:12.614 --> 26:14.658
My father will not relent.

26:15.701 --> 26:18.161
I'm afraid this will be the last time
we will see each other.

26:20.330 --> 26:22.875
I, uh... I did bring you a gift.

26:28.755 --> 26:29.756
For the poet.

26:36.430 --> 26:37.848
Jonathan, I will always love you

26:39.391 --> 26:40.642
and serve you.

26:41.518 --> 26:44.855
- I must ask something of you.
- Ask anything.

26:46.481 --> 26:48.901
I've told this to no one, but...

26:50.569 --> 26:52.029
...Sara is with child.

26:54.364 --> 26:56.325
You're going to be a father.

26:59.786 --> 27:01.830
And you want to name him David?

27:01.914 --> 27:03.081
- I will allow that.
- No.

27:04.750 --> 27:07.002
No.

27:09.087 --> 27:10.881
But I do ask for kindness...

27:12.090 --> 27:13.509
and mercy...

27:14.510 --> 27:15.886
when you come into your kingdom.

27:17.679 --> 27:19.515
My father said I was a fool.

27:20.349 --> 27:23.185
That as long as you lived,
my throne would never be established.

27:23.268 --> 27:26.855
- I--
- And in his madness, and in his jealousy...

27:27.648 --> 27:29.358
...he speaks the truth.

27:30.526 --> 27:32.528
And it is a truth that will apply to you.

27:32.611 --> 27:35.781
- Jonathan... I-I would never--
- David.

27:35.864 --> 27:38.033
Kings consolidate their rule.

27:38.909 --> 27:40.702
They do things
they said they would never do.

27:40.786 --> 27:41.954
I've seen this with my own eyes.

27:43.705 --> 27:45.165
So vow to me.

27:46.041 --> 27:48.335
Promise me you will never harm my family.

27:49.962 --> 27:51.797
That you will protect them when I...

27:54.800 --> 27:56.051
If I cannot.

27:57.845 --> 28:00.472
I vow. I vow.

28:02.057 --> 28:04.142
I will show your family kindness. Forever.

28:04.226 --> 28:05.644
Vow again.

28:05.727 --> 28:07.855
That you will never cut off your loyalty
to my house,

28:08.438 --> 28:10.190
even when all of your enemies lay
at your feet.

28:10.274 --> 28:11.942
You will never be one of them.

28:12.734 --> 28:14.862
This is a covenant between us.

28:29.209 --> 28:31.628
Then may
the House of David endure forever.

28:32.754 --> 28:34.256
May your reign never end.

28:37.259 --> 28:40.137
Jonathan.

28:46.935 --> 28:49.521
I did not ask for this.

28:50.480 --> 28:53.859
Jonathan, I never... I never wanted
any of this.

28:54.651 --> 28:57.571
- You would be the better king.
- No. No.

29:01.158 --> 29:03.243
God does not make mistakes like that.

29:40.531 --> 29:44.451
Drink this, so you don't catch fever.
You're shaking.

29:45.827 --> 29:48.872
- I-I left in haste with... nothing.
- Mm-hmm.

29:49.498 --> 29:52.376
- And Mychal?
- I am alone.

29:53.001 --> 29:56.296
Hmm. Alone? No, shepherd.

29:57.381 --> 30:00.634
Even when you are by yourself,
you are not alone.

30:01.301 --> 30:02.594
Thank you.

30:06.223 --> 30:09.059
Samuel, I love you,
but must you always speak in riddles?

30:09.142 --> 30:11.103
Do I? Oh, well.

30:11.186 --> 30:12.980
I have always liked riddles.

30:13.647 --> 30:17.150
Perhaps...
...you should write one of your songs

30:17.234 --> 30:19.403
about my riddles. Hmm?

30:19.486 --> 30:21.655
"Samuel's Song."

30:21.738 --> 30:23.323
Samuel, I don't know what to do.

30:24.283 --> 30:25.868
I don't know where to go.

30:26.660 --> 30:28.871
In battle, I have a plan, a strategy.

30:29.830 --> 30:30.998
I need one now.

30:31.081 --> 30:32.791
You need to find stillness.

30:33.375 --> 30:37.337
Mmm. You must quiet yourself in here.

30:37.421 --> 30:38.714
- And here.
- I try.

30:39.423 --> 30:41.675
When you tell me, "Listen to the wind,"

30:41.758 --> 30:43.260
I do. I listen.

30:44.303 --> 30:47.097
- But all I hear is the wind.
- Yeah, but you must have patience.

30:47.181 --> 30:48.515
Give it time.

30:50.976 --> 30:53.020
The Lord God will speak to you,

30:53.103 --> 30:55.772
as he has spoken to me so often.

30:59.985 --> 31:01.653
- What is it like?
- Hmm?

31:04.573 --> 31:06.491
Do you... Do you really hear his voice?

31:08.285 --> 31:13.457
His words have flowed through me
like water, clear and cold.

31:13.540 --> 31:17.628
And they have choked in my throat
like sand.

31:18.587 --> 31:23.550
They have rung in my head like a hammer.
An anvil at the fiery forge.

31:24.635 --> 31:29.473
And if his words have warmed my heart
from time to time...

31:30.891 --> 31:33.852
they have scorched my soul as well.

31:33.936 --> 31:36.230
- Hmm.
- But I tell you, of late,

31:37.064 --> 31:38.607
there are no words.

31:39.566 --> 31:41.401
What I hear is music.

31:42.069 --> 31:44.112
His music.

31:44.738 --> 31:46.490
Playing through what?

31:46.573 --> 31:50.369
- A simple shepherd, yeah.
- Yes.

31:52.704 --> 31:54.498
Sometimes, Samuel, I...

31:55.666 --> 31:58.210
I wish I could return
to the safety of the hills.

31:59.711 --> 32:01.129
No one knew my name.

32:01.755 --> 32:07.052
And I often wish I was raised in a family
and not at a tabernacle.

32:08.053 --> 32:13.308
Yet history is not forged
from the safety of hills.

32:14.601 --> 32:17.354
To live a life of service,

32:17.437 --> 32:21.942
of significance, is to pay a price.

32:22.025 --> 32:26.738
An uncommon life bears uncommon cost.

32:27.489 --> 32:30.826
You have been given
a great and a difficult task.

32:30.909 --> 32:35.289
And this task is given you
for God's own reasons.

32:36.290 --> 32:38.125
And so,

32:38.208 --> 32:43.672
you will travel...
...the road north to Nob.

32:43.755 --> 32:47.217
And you will ascend the mountain by the
thousand westward steps,

32:47.301 --> 32:48.927
so you will not be seen.

32:49.011 --> 32:50.012
Yes.

32:50.095 --> 32:51.889
You will hide among the priests,

32:52.472 --> 32:54.641
and you will await the word of the Lord.

32:54.725 --> 32:58.270
He will instruct you. This I promise.

33:00.272 --> 33:03.066
David, do not forget.

33:03.692 --> 33:06.320
The last time you passed
through your greatest fears,

33:06.403 --> 33:09.281
a giant fell at your feet.

33:10.866 --> 33:11.867
Yes.

33:14.411 --> 33:16.705
But this time I must face my own family.

33:16.788 --> 33:19.666
- Mmm.
- Saul was like a father to me.

33:19.750 --> 33:21.877
He was a son to me.

33:24.379 --> 33:26.256
You need not confront him.

33:27.299 --> 33:28.300
I will do it.

33:30.552 --> 33:31.720
- Samuel.
- Mmm.

33:33.764 --> 33:34.932
He will kill you.

33:36.517 --> 33:37.768
He will try.

33:40.979 --> 33:43.357
Why did you tell
Father David threatened me?

33:44.483 --> 33:47.277
Because we are all that remains.

33:49.029 --> 33:52.157
Mychal, I told you men are mad.

33:53.367 --> 33:54.910
Every last one of them.

33:55.744 --> 33:58.121
The other night...

34:00.832 --> 34:02.584
feels like another life.

34:04.336 --> 34:09.007
I was happy just for a moment. And now...

34:14.388 --> 34:15.973
David lied to me.

34:18.225 --> 34:20.185
He's not who he says he is.

34:21.895 --> 34:25.399
Like I said, they're mad.

34:28.110 --> 34:33.115
But... But he's my husband.

34:37.077 --> 34:38.745
And I love him. I...

34:38.829 --> 34:42.165
- I know. I'm sorry.
- I don't know what to do.

34:42.249 --> 34:44.042
I don't know how I can.

34:44.126 --> 34:48.547
- I don't know...
- I'm sorry. I know.

34:56.847 --> 34:58.223
I hate that chair.

35:02.853 --> 35:06.231
The chair is only a reflection
of the one who sits upon it.

35:06.315 --> 35:09.443
No. It's poison.

35:11.069 --> 35:13.113
It kills whoever sits upon it.

35:19.203 --> 35:20.204
I know.

36:05.666 --> 36:06.875
Priest of God.

36:09.461 --> 36:12.631
These steps are sacred.
Why do you climb them?

36:12.714 --> 36:18.136
I come to offer a thousand
of the best of the king's flock

36:18.220 --> 36:20.806
for your sacrifices,

36:20.889 --> 36:24.059
if you remove a curse from me.

36:24.142 --> 36:28.564
Your God is tormenting me night and day.

36:28.647 --> 36:31.358
I'm sorry. I cannot help you.

36:31.900 --> 36:34.820
And you do not belong
on this holy mountain.

37:03.599 --> 37:05.601
David, why have you come?

37:06.185 --> 37:08.604
Samuel sends me.
And he sends his blessing.

37:09.229 --> 37:10.564
You are alone?

37:11.273 --> 37:13.650
I am on a secret and urgent mission
from the king.

37:13.734 --> 37:15.027
Hmm.

37:15.110 --> 37:17.529
Uh, do you have any weapons here?

37:17.613 --> 37:19.031
A sword, a bow?

37:19.990 --> 37:21.533
I had to leave in haste.

37:21.617 --> 37:23.368
Um, there is no sword here.

37:23.452 --> 37:26.747
Except one. Come.

37:33.462 --> 37:35.047
The sword of Goliath.

37:36.006 --> 37:37.508
It is all that is here.

37:42.221 --> 37:45.098
If it aids you, take it.

38:05.369 --> 38:06.370
Thank you.

38:09.039 --> 38:10.415
I needed to remember.

38:11.041 --> 38:12.167
Remember what?

38:14.086 --> 38:15.587
The greatness of God.

38:20.092 --> 38:22.553
- Father.
- Soldiers are here.

38:22.636 --> 38:25.222
- What? What do they want?
- Him.

38:52.082 --> 38:56.211
The king has gone mad.
Our loyalty is to you, David.

38:57.337 --> 38:58.338
Rise.

39:03.510 --> 39:04.761
How did you find me?

39:04.845 --> 39:06.847
I tracked you. Like a wolf.

39:06.930 --> 39:10.392
- Were you followed?
- No. We rode hard.

39:18.775 --> 39:21.737
Father, I just received word from Edom.

39:22.362 --> 39:25.741
The king travels here himself
to finalize the terms of his aid.

39:26.742 --> 39:29.203
He is ready to make a new alliance.

39:29.286 --> 39:33.707
My son is a diplomat after all. Very well.

39:34.458 --> 39:38.003
I also have a plan
to solidify loyalty among the tribes.

39:38.086 --> 39:39.546
Especially Judah.

39:41.131 --> 39:42.758
It involves my sisters.

39:43.383 --> 39:44.468
My king.

39:44.551 --> 39:47.846
My king.

39:50.599 --> 39:53.644
I've seen something that may interest you.

39:56.146 --> 39:59.399
David is hiding among the priests of Nob!

40:00.734 --> 40:03.904
We will find him. We will bring him back.

40:05.030 --> 40:06.823
And use only necessary force.

40:08.825 --> 40:11.662
Do not allow the blood of holy men
be on our heads.

40:13.455 --> 40:14.456
We ride!

40:51.285 --> 40:52.286
Halt.

41:08.177 --> 41:11.096
Step aside, great one.
You're blocking our path.

41:11.180 --> 41:12.181
No.

41:13.932 --> 41:17.561
It is you who obstruct
the path of the one God has chosen.

41:18.270 --> 41:20.355
Samuel, step aside.

42:09.404 --> 42:11.448
What would you have me do?

42:15.244 --> 42:18.539
You have so many words for my brother.
Have you nothing for me?

42:22.835 --> 42:25.045
What would you have me do?

42:43.564 --> 42:46.400
- May I sit with you?
- Please.

42:52.698 --> 42:55.742
This is my father's ephod.

42:55.826 --> 42:58.787
It has been in this holy place
for ten generations.

43:10.048 --> 43:12.176
The Urim and Thummim.

43:19.266 --> 43:20.559
I see you need guidance.

43:24.605 --> 43:25.898
Yes, I do.

43:52.132 --> 43:56.011
What happened?

43:58.805 --> 44:00.098
How did they die?

44:00.724 --> 44:04.144
They've taken their own life.
To escape the torment.

44:05.896 --> 44:08.023
I know this torment very well.

44:10.275 --> 44:12.569
Where is he? Where is Samuel?

44:13.654 --> 44:15.113
He's guarding the road to Nob.

44:17.908 --> 44:19.409
Summon the royal guard.

44:21.161 --> 44:22.162
How many of them?

44:22.246 --> 44:23.247
All of them!

44:25.082 --> 44:26.542
Thank you, priests.

44:27.584 --> 44:30.295
We will ride north
to the caves of Adullam.

44:31.505 --> 44:32.506
That is near Gath.

44:33.257 --> 44:34.258
Yes.

44:34.925 --> 44:36.301
Saul will not follow us there.

44:37.219 --> 44:39.304
Be ready. We travel at dusk.

45:17.426 --> 45:19.636
You cursed my men as you cursed me.

45:19.720 --> 45:21.680
I cursed no one.

45:21.763 --> 45:24.641
Step aside, Samuel.
And I will let you live.

45:24.725 --> 45:27.394
I cannot allow you to pass.

45:27.477 --> 45:29.354
I have a thousand with me.

45:29.438 --> 45:31.857
And I have but one.

45:33.192 --> 45:35.319
Yet he is enough.

45:42.117 --> 45:44.119
Do not make me strike you down.

45:45.579 --> 45:47.456
Then do not try.

46:25.744 --> 46:28.413
Your torment has not ended, Saul.

46:29.289 --> 46:32.960
Instead,
it has corrupted your very nature.

46:33.043 --> 46:34.127
You lie.

46:34.211 --> 46:36.547
I defeated my curse.

46:38.590 --> 46:43.595
No, you have become your curse.

46:53.647 --> 46:55.023
Protect the king!

46:55.691 --> 46:59.236
God is not mocked!

47:15.627 --> 47:18.213
Darkness has prevailed.

47:18.297 --> 47:23.010
You have become what you have become.

47:23.093 --> 47:26.013
And I will no longer mourn for you.

47:27.014 --> 47:31.018
But you will prophesy for me.

47:31.101 --> 47:34.938
No.

47:35.022 --> 47:37.983
This will never be my destiny!

47:38.066 --> 47:40.819
I control my future.

47:42.112 --> 47:45.908
I control my fate.

47:45.991 --> 47:49.953
You will tell me what you see,
son of Kish.

47:52.122 --> 47:53.248
Speak!

47:55.125 --> 47:56.835
I see my crown.

47:57.961 --> 48:01.632
Resting on the head of another.

48:02.466 --> 48:04.009
Speak his name.

48:07.471 --> 48:09.223
Speak his name.

48:09.306 --> 48:12.726
No.

48:16.647 --> 48:19.525
You will speak his name!

48:24.571 --> 48:26.990
Speak his name!

48:27.616 --> 48:30.410
David!

48:32.496 --> 48:33.789
Good!

48:38.710 --> 48:39.711
What is it?

48:42.673 --> 48:43.674
I'm not sure.

48:48.387 --> 48:49.388
Let's go.

49:10.367 --> 49:12.202
My king.

49:12.911 --> 49:16.748
King Saul.

49:23.338 --> 49:24.548
I'm Doeg.

49:29.761 --> 49:32.431
- Where is Samuel?
- Gone.

49:32.514 --> 49:35.559
The tracks of blood lead east.

49:35.642 --> 49:37.269
Should I find him?

49:39.980 --> 49:44.568
Abner.

49:46.820 --> 49:50.032
My king, where do we go from here?

49:51.617 --> 49:53.327
Onward to Nob.

49:54.411 --> 49:55.621
To end this.

49:57.289 --> 49:59.708
Most of the men are not fit to travel.

50:00.334 --> 50:04.922
My king. My men are fit to travel.

50:05.881 --> 50:08.050
Good. Bring them.

50:09.384 --> 50:10.802
Follow me.

50:36.954 --> 50:37.996
What is happening?

50:39.122 --> 50:43.460
Son, go. Get the ephod and leave.

50:44.086 --> 50:47.464
It must be protected.
I will handle this. Now go.

51:01.103 --> 51:02.521
My king.

51:07.442 --> 51:10.696
My friend. Why have you come?

51:11.530 --> 51:14.241
Why have you betrayed me, priest?

51:15.367 --> 51:16.368
Betrayed?

51:17.369 --> 51:21.957
Ahimelech, listen now and speak the truth.

51:22.583 --> 51:24.459
Why have you hidden the traitor from me?

51:25.627 --> 51:27.421
So he can rise up against me?

51:27.504 --> 51:28.881
Whom do you speak of?

51:28.964 --> 51:30.549
The son of Jesse.

51:31.133 --> 51:32.551
David?

51:32.634 --> 51:34.678
Who among your servants is
as faithful as he?

51:34.761 --> 51:36.763
He has risen against me.

51:36.847 --> 51:39.725
And you have aided him, have you not?

51:39.808 --> 51:41.393
Speak the truth.

51:43.395 --> 51:47.065
I gave him sacred bread.
And the sword of Goliath.

51:47.691 --> 51:48.984
It was all I had.

51:49.610 --> 51:51.069
The sword of Goliath?

51:53.447 --> 51:55.574
He will raise an army against me.

51:55.657 --> 51:57.492
I-I knew nothing of this.

51:57.576 --> 52:00.078
I tire of this struggle.

52:00.662 --> 52:04.208
There is no struggle, my lord.
We all serve you.

52:04.291 --> 52:05.751
As does David.

52:08.837 --> 52:11.632
Then let me ask you a question,
son of Ahitub.

52:13.008 --> 52:17.346
If the great one, Samuel,
were to tell you another was anointed,

52:17.429 --> 52:21.183
that God had chosen someone else...

52:25.687 --> 52:27.147
whom would you serve?

52:31.568 --> 52:35.322
I would serve God above man.

52:37.991 --> 52:39.368
We all would.

52:41.119 --> 52:42.746
Thank you for your honesty.

52:48.961 --> 52:49.962
Kill them all.

52:53.507 --> 52:56.009
Saul, these are servants
of the Most High--

52:57.177 --> 52:59.346
They betray me as David does.

53:00.681 --> 53:03.433
Kill them all!

53:24.663 --> 53:27.249
My king. My friend.

53:29.543 --> 53:32.462
I will do anything for you, Saul.

53:33.463 --> 53:35.090
But I will not do this.

53:46.894 --> 53:49.188
Uh, I will do it.

53:55.569 --> 53:57.446
I will do it gladly.

53:58.530 --> 54:00.073
Burn everything!

54:00.741 --> 54:02.826
Their God, their curses!

54:02.910 --> 54:06.413
Everything! Kill them all!

54:32.314 --> 54:33.815
What have you done?

54:35.859 --> 54:37.486
What is necessary.

55:02.427 --> 55:03.428
Samuel?

55:13.564 --> 55:14.898
My love?

55:20.112 --> 55:21.363
Samuel.

55:22.906 --> 55:24.032
Hila.

55:28.745 --> 55:30.414
Is it not beautiful?

55:32.416 --> 55:33.792
God's creation.

55:37.546 --> 55:39.423
But I feel...

55:40.257 --> 55:44.261
something terrible has happened.

55:45.846 --> 55:49.683
Rest, Samuel.

55:51.518 --> 55:54.188
You have played your part
in the grand design.

55:54.897 --> 55:57.983
God knows.

55:59.693 --> 56:05.490
I... have tried.

56:07.534 --> 56:08.744
No.

56:09.536 --> 56:11.205
You have fought well.

56:13.248 --> 56:14.833
You have finished well.

56:18.629 --> 56:21.340
Yes.

56:21.423 --> 56:24.801
It is beautiful.

56:47.032 --> 56:48.867
The giant slayer is
in the mountains,

56:48.951 --> 56:50.869
in the caves of Adullam.

56:50.953 --> 56:52.538
He's being hunted.

56:52.621 --> 56:54.289
By whom?

56:55.165 --> 56:56.166
By Saul.

57:02.089 --> 57:03.090
Saul?

57:10.097 --> 57:11.557
My finest work.

57:12.349 --> 57:15.811
- How many have you made?
- A thousand by harvest.

57:17.813 --> 57:20.148
Go find David
and I will meet you back at my village.

57:20.232 --> 57:22.109
I'll meet you there as soon as I can.

57:22.192 --> 57:24.903
- I need to find him before my father does.
- Be careful.

57:25.612 --> 57:27.739
- Sara.
- Don't worry. I will be safe.

57:27.823 --> 57:30.284
No. I need you to understand.

57:30.367 --> 57:32.744
There's a war coming. I know.

57:33.579 --> 57:34.705
We will be safe.

57:37.332 --> 57:38.333
Go.

58:12.034 --> 58:13.202
We're being watched.

58:39.895 --> 58:41.104
Cousin.

58:43.565 --> 58:45.359
You are a hard man to find.

58:46.527 --> 58:47.694
Are you here to fight me?

58:51.907 --> 58:53.158
Eliab?

58:57.788 --> 58:58.956
No, brother.

59:02.918 --> 59:04.545
We are here to serve you.

59:42.124 --> 59:45.002
Be gracious to me, O God,
be gracious to me,

59:48.172 --> 59:52.092
for in you my soul takes refuge,

59:54.219 --> 59:56.972
in the shadow of your wings I take refuge

59:59.349 --> 01:00:02.394
until the storm passes by.

01:00:29.463 --> 01:00:30.464
My king.

01:00:32.132 --> 01:00:33.592
May I make an introduction?

01:00:34.259 --> 01:00:37.471
At long last, the king of Edom.

01:00:46.313 --> 01:00:50.484
You can kill me.
But you'll never know your purpose.

01:00:51.193 --> 01:00:56.156
<i>I can teach you to be a king.
Greater than your father.</i>

01:01:09.419 --> 01:01:11.338
Show me your purpose.

01:01:13.340 --> 01:01:15.551
Show me your will for your kingdom.
