WEBVTT

00:03.587 --> 00:05.506
[Abner] Previously on House of David…

00:05.589 --> 00:09.885
This is the age of kings.
We are the first dynasty of Israel.

00:09.969 --> 00:12.847
Father, why do you keep me in the hills?
Why not send me to the king's army?

00:12.930 --> 00:14.348
David, you are a shepherd.

00:14.432 --> 00:16.767
-You are not a man of blood.
-I am a warrior.

00:17.351 --> 00:19.270
Samuel, tonight we celebrate.

00:19.353 --> 00:23.357
You have twisted the throne
of Israel to your own glory,

00:23.441 --> 00:28.195
so you will be given to a twisted power
and your own torment.

00:28.279 --> 00:30.114
Samuel!

00:30.614 --> 00:33.367
-[Silas] Where are we going now?
-To find a king.

00:35.453 --> 00:38.622
Have him followed.
Bring me the one he anoints.

00:39.206 --> 00:42.585
David, the Lord of hosts has chosen you.

00:42.668 --> 00:45.504
-As what?
-King of Israel.

00:45.588 --> 00:48.924
He must be slain
along with everyone in his household.

00:49.008 --> 00:51.302
-What is this?
-It is a summons.

00:51.385 --> 00:52.511
It's for David.

00:53.262 --> 00:54.764
[Abner] My queen, why is he here?

00:54.847 --> 00:56.599
I am anxious to hear you play.

00:56.682 --> 00:57.975
I'm glad you're here.

00:58.058 --> 01:00.102
[Eliab]
Mychal is the daughter of the king.

01:00.186 --> 01:02.480
If I become a part of the family,
there will be no bloodshed.

01:02.563 --> 01:04.982
Kings protect bloodlines
and eliminate threats.

01:05.065 --> 01:07.067
All of our lives are at stake here.

01:07.151 --> 01:11.030
The king is losing himself.
I recognize him less every day.

01:11.113 --> 01:12.990
Samuel!

01:13.073 --> 01:15.618
[Ahinoam] There are those
who still worship other gods.

01:15.701 --> 01:16.911
I need your help.

01:16.994 --> 01:18.996
Greetings from the house of Saul.

01:19.079 --> 01:20.164
Goliath!

01:20.247 --> 01:21.999
[groaning]

01:23.250 --> 01:25.711
Let me fight their king.

01:26.337 --> 01:27.922
The Philistines have assembled.

01:28.005 --> 01:30.049
They cover the mountain
like sands on the shore.

01:30.132 --> 01:31.759
-And they have a giant.
-What?

01:31.842 --> 01:33.219
Where is your king?

01:33.302 --> 01:35.054
-He's just a man, Father.
-Is he?

01:35.137 --> 01:36.138
[Goliath laughs]

01:36.222 --> 01:37.765
[grunting]

01:37.848 --> 01:38.849
Father!

01:38.933 --> 01:41.393
How do we know
this is not just blind vengeance?

01:41.477 --> 01:43.979
Saul having killed your father
on the battlefield.

01:44.063 --> 01:45.314
[Mychal] We have to do something.

01:45.397 --> 01:47.566
-Do you know which way Elah is?
-I will find it.

01:47.650 --> 01:51.153
[Jesse] I have loaded the donkey
with supplies. I need you to take them.

01:51.237 --> 01:53.113
-[David] Where?
-[Jesse] To the battlefield.

01:53.197 --> 01:55.950
Who is this giant to defy
the armies of the living God?

01:57.535 --> 02:00.371
[Eshbaal]
We must ensure our throne survives.

02:00.454 --> 02:01.831
You must crown me king.

02:01.914 --> 02:03.749
Did the prophet Samuel visit your family?

02:03.833 --> 02:04.959
Yes.

02:05.042 --> 02:07.795
If none of you will fight this giant
then I will.

02:07.878 --> 02:11.799
Fight him with the same spirit
you bring into this room.

02:20.766 --> 02:21.976
[clangs]

02:22.893 --> 02:23.978
[grunts]

02:46.500 --> 02:48.168
[panting]

02:50.129 --> 02:53.215
[Mychal] They say there was none like it.

02:54.800 --> 02:57.219
The sword of Goliath.

02:57.303 --> 02:58.304
[grunts]

03:07.229 --> 03:12.401
Born in the fire,
it has a strength unmatched…

03:14.904 --> 03:16.780
for those who can harness it.

03:16.864 --> 03:18.991
Fight with me!

03:21.201 --> 03:23.954
[Mychal] It would change
how wars are fought.

03:24.038 --> 03:25.497
-[soldiers clamoring]
-[horses neighing]

03:29.418 --> 03:31.962
[Mychal] Change the very world itself.

03:34.965 --> 03:36.467
[Achish] Charge!

03:36.550 --> 03:38.052
[horses neighing]

03:40.054 --> 03:43.849
[Mychal] Those who wield
its power would conquer nations.

03:46.143 --> 03:48.145
Destroy their enemies.

03:49.980 --> 03:54.318
Just as the Philistines
sought to destroy us.

03:55.861 --> 04:00.866
Desperate to claim their place
as the masters of the coming new age.

04:03.827 --> 04:07.081
The Age of Iron.

04:08.707 --> 04:10.209
This is what they say.

04:12.044 --> 04:13.712
But I know the truth.

04:14.380 --> 04:21.136
A sword is only as powerful
as the one who wields it.

04:22.513 --> 04:24.515
[distorted grunt]

04:25.641 --> 04:27.518
[shouting, grunting]

04:32.856 --> 04:34.858
[heartbeat thumping]

04:39.530 --> 04:40.739
[shouts]

04:43.200 --> 04:45.327
[distorted shouts]

04:50.666 --> 04:52.126
[groans] David!

04:59.383 --> 05:01.427
We must get to David! Forward!

05:01.510 --> 05:03.595
Which way is forward? [grunts]

05:04.555 --> 05:05.556
Eliab!

05:11.020 --> 05:14.023
Give us strength and protect us.

05:14.523 --> 05:17.026
Guard, get my horse and my armor!

05:18.152 --> 05:20.154
-[Mychal gasps, whimpers]
-[Saul] Come on!

05:22.698 --> 05:24.533
[groaning]

05:40.382 --> 05:41.383
[grunts]

05:45.971 --> 05:48.140
-[neighs]
-[grunting]

05:51.769 --> 05:53.228
[grunts]

05:57.149 --> 05:59.068
-Jonathan!
-Protect the prince!

05:59.151 --> 06:01.320
[grunting]

06:01.403 --> 06:02.404
Jonathan!

06:09.870 --> 06:11.413
Form a perimeter!

06:11.497 --> 06:12.664
Hold the valley!

06:19.004 --> 06:20.589
-We should advance.
-No!

06:20.672 --> 06:22.091
Hold this ground!

06:27.137 --> 06:28.931
-I must find David!
-My prince, wait!

06:34.603 --> 06:35.771
Give me the sword.

06:37.856 --> 06:39.942
-[gasps]
-[high-pitched ringing]

06:40.859 --> 06:42.903
[groans] No.

06:42.986 --> 06:47.032
-[distorted] Saul, the great warrior king.
-No.

06:47.116 --> 06:50.619
[grunting] I am the chosen one.
I was made for this.

06:50.702 --> 06:52.412
-Father.
-[grunts]

06:52.496 --> 06:53.580
Father.

06:53.664 --> 06:55.499
What are you doing?
You're not going out there.

06:55.582 --> 06:56.917
I am well, Biti.

06:57.000 --> 06:58.001
Father.

06:58.669 --> 07:00.796
You yourself led me from the darkness.

07:01.797 --> 07:05.384
Now, I must lead this army.

07:06.760 --> 07:07.761
You stay here.

07:09.847 --> 07:11.306
See that guards are posted.

07:12.182 --> 07:13.308
Protect them!

07:13.392 --> 07:14.393
[speaking Hebrew]

07:15.102 --> 07:17.104
-[Samuel] Oh, Lord…
-[soldiers grunting, groaning]

07:20.149 --> 07:21.984
give us this ground!

07:25.487 --> 07:28.073
[soldiers clamoring in distance]

07:30.450 --> 07:31.493
-[grunting]
-[metal clanging]

07:31.577 --> 07:34.204
[Eliab] I need to find my brother.
[grunting]

07:35.539 --> 07:36.957
Nathaneel, stay close.

07:37.040 --> 07:38.125
David!

07:50.637 --> 07:52.347
Send men to that ridge.

07:52.431 --> 07:55.350
-Silence the prophet, and they cannot win.
-Come with me!

07:58.145 --> 08:00.272
Forward! Show your worth!

08:07.321 --> 08:08.697
Eliab!

08:12.034 --> 08:13.202
David!

08:14.036 --> 08:15.537
[grunting]

08:25.088 --> 08:26.340
[groans]

09:01.375 --> 09:02.376
[grunts]

09:10.008 --> 09:11.551
[breathing heavily]

09:13.011 --> 09:15.764
Thank you, Adonai, for this gift.

09:17.391 --> 09:19.351
[shouts]

09:19.434 --> 09:21.895
What I do this day… [grunts]

09:22.604 --> 09:24.064
…I do in your name.

09:24.147 --> 09:25.941
[pants, grunts]

09:26.525 --> 09:28.151
[groaning]

09:42.791 --> 09:44.626
[Saul] It is solid bronze.

09:45.752 --> 09:48.005
The strongest metal on Earth.

09:50.132 --> 09:54.177
Forged from the melted blades
of defeated Philistines.

10:04.688 --> 10:05.856
Do you like it?

10:07.649 --> 10:09.985
Good. Because I had it made for you.

10:11.028 --> 10:13.238
It is a king's sword, the same as mine.

10:14.239 --> 10:18.910
Inscribed with the history of our people
and a prayer to God.

10:18.994 --> 10:22.998
You will use it with faith, to protect
our people and defeat our enemies.

10:23.498 --> 10:26.626
'Cause one day,
you will be a great warrior.

10:28.920 --> 10:30.297
My king, it's time.

10:32.632 --> 10:33.633
Come with me.

10:43.477 --> 10:44.644
Maoch…

10:48.190 --> 10:49.649
your reign is over.

10:53.236 --> 10:54.363
[both grunt]

10:55.906 --> 10:57.282
[Saul] My people,

10:58.033 --> 11:01.203
Gath will trouble Israel no more.

11:01.286 --> 11:02.788
[cheering]

11:05.540 --> 11:10.754
I will build my fortress
where your stronghold once stood.

11:11.671 --> 11:12.672
[cheering]

11:15.967 --> 11:17.010
Father!

11:20.639 --> 11:21.890
[breathing heavily]

11:27.270 --> 11:28.271
[blade slashes]

11:28.814 --> 11:30.190
No!

11:34.569 --> 11:36.488
[cheering continues]

11:38.407 --> 11:40.283
[soldiers clamoring]

11:42.285 --> 11:43.286
[grunts]

11:49.418 --> 11:51.169
God is with us!

12:19.698 --> 12:21.074
[shouting, grunting]

12:43.722 --> 12:45.098
David!

12:51.438 --> 12:52.439
[David] Jonathan!

12:52.522 --> 12:54.483
-Are you all right?
-Yes.

12:54.566 --> 12:57.319
-Good. Stay close. Get down. Arrows!
-[arrows whooshing]

12:59.404 --> 13:00.780
You never fought a battle before?

13:00.864 --> 13:02.240
Not before today, no.

13:05.410 --> 13:08.163
First rule, remain calm.
You keep your eyes up,

13:08.246 --> 13:11.917
and when you attack,
you stab, don't slash.

13:12.417 --> 13:15.378
Remember, God was with you
when you killed this giant.

13:15.462 --> 13:16.880
And he is still… Move!

13:16.963 --> 13:18.131
[shouts, grunts]

13:20.800 --> 13:22.135
-You stay close…
-All right.

13:22.219 --> 13:24.054
-…your shield up, you watch for arrows.
-Uh-huh.

13:24.638 --> 13:26.056
Let's go.

13:38.068 --> 13:39.319
[Jonathan] Arrows!

13:39.402 --> 13:41.154
[arrows thud]

13:46.117 --> 13:47.327
I have an idea.

13:47.410 --> 13:49.246
[soldiers clamoring]

13:53.542 --> 13:56.211
They're going to be victorious, right?

13:56.294 --> 13:58.338
-Father is always victorious.
-Yes, of course.

13:59.381 --> 14:01.174
Then why do you seem worried?

14:03.718 --> 14:07.222
Mychal, stop. You're making me nervous.

14:07.722 --> 14:09.432
[shouting in distance]

14:09.516 --> 14:10.559
Mirab, stay there.

14:10.642 --> 14:12.143
[soldiers shouting]

14:20.569 --> 14:21.611
-What is it?
-[shushes]

14:21.695 --> 14:23.780
I thought we were safe here.

14:23.863 --> 14:26.199
It's the other army.
We've been surrounded.

14:27.033 --> 14:28.660
They killed our guards.

14:31.079 --> 14:33.081
Mirab, this is the king's tent.

14:33.164 --> 14:35.417
It's the first place they'll come.
We have to move.

14:35.500 --> 14:36.501
We can't.

14:36.585 --> 14:38.253
We have to move now.

14:39.170 --> 14:40.171
Take a knife.

14:50.515 --> 14:51.766
[whispering] Now, now.

14:56.896 --> 14:58.607
[shouting, grunting]

15:04.362 --> 15:07.365
[Agag] Saul…

15:10.201 --> 15:11.202
[Saul] Agag?

15:22.005 --> 15:23.173
[neighs]

15:23.798 --> 15:25.133
[Saul groans]

15:29.429 --> 15:32.432
[Agag, distorted] Saul…

15:36.645 --> 15:38.355
[soldiers clamoring]

15:40.315 --> 15:41.524
[Saul groaning]

16:15.016 --> 16:16.351
This is chaos.

16:16.434 --> 16:17.894
Joab, what is that?

16:17.977 --> 16:19.896
[soldier] Forward! Forward!

16:28.947 --> 16:30.323
[Abner] My prince!

16:31.408 --> 16:32.492
David.

16:32.575 --> 16:35.537
Abner. Get David off the field,
and then advance.

16:36.121 --> 16:37.205
Finally!

16:37.288 --> 16:38.415
I can fight with you.

16:38.498 --> 16:40.291
We chase them all the way to Gath.

16:40.375 --> 16:41.459
God is with us.

16:41.543 --> 16:42.544
Yes, my prince.

16:43.461 --> 16:44.462
Keep the line!

16:44.546 --> 16:46.965
-Where are you going?
-I'm going to find my father.

16:47.048 --> 16:48.591
-I will go with you--
-No!

16:48.675 --> 16:50.969
-You've done your part.
-Let me fight with you, Jonathan.

16:51.052 --> 16:53.596
-Not today! Go!
-Come now.

16:53.680 --> 16:55.390
Have you seen my brothers?

16:56.057 --> 16:58.685
Eliab! Eliab!

17:03.773 --> 17:06.443
[Eliab] Nathaneel! Stay close.

17:06.526 --> 17:09.320
-[Nathaneel] Abinadab! Wait! Wait! No, no!
-You stay with us!

17:09.404 --> 17:11.489
[Nathaneel] Where are you? I can't see.

17:11.573 --> 17:13.074
-Get up!
-Wait! No, wait!

17:15.034 --> 17:17.954
Eliab! Eliab! Eliab!

17:18.037 --> 17:19.956
-[shouts, grunting]
-[grunting]

17:22.625 --> 17:24.669
You never stop fighting, brother. Never!

17:24.753 --> 17:27.881
Get your sword and get to David.
Go, Nathaneel! Go!

17:58.745 --> 18:00.622
[Agag laughing]

18:06.878 --> 18:09.756
Agag! Come back!

18:10.340 --> 18:12.091
[grunting]

18:16.137 --> 18:17.639
We have to go. Come on.

18:19.140 --> 18:20.683
Okay, go, go.

18:21.476 --> 18:22.477
[panting]

18:33.488 --> 18:35.156
-What is it?
-Stay down, stay down.

18:39.202 --> 18:40.411
They have more giants.

18:46.835 --> 18:48.753
Storm the valley!

18:53.007 --> 18:55.009
[shouting]

18:57.345 --> 18:59.806
Rally as many of the tribes as you can.

18:59.889 --> 19:02.767
Tell them we will advance
on my signal. Go!

19:02.851 --> 19:04.435
Make way. Make way.

19:04.519 --> 19:05.520
Come through.

19:05.603 --> 19:06.855
[panting]

19:06.938 --> 19:07.939
David!

19:08.690 --> 19:09.691
[David gasps]

19:09.774 --> 19:11.067
Eliab! [chuckles]

19:11.150 --> 19:12.318
-You are alive?
-Yes, I am.

19:12.402 --> 19:13.528
Thanks be to God.

19:13.611 --> 19:15.738
Yes. And Jonathan. I owe him my life.

19:16.322 --> 19:18.658
-I should've been with you, brother.
-You are here now.

19:18.741 --> 19:19.993
Eliab!

19:20.076 --> 19:21.160
[horses galloping]

19:27.834 --> 19:29.627
Ambush!

19:29.711 --> 19:32.297
Hold the line. Hold. Hold.

19:35.633 --> 19:37.510
It's King Ashdod's men.

19:37.594 --> 19:39.220
They seek to surround us.

19:39.304 --> 19:42.599
He's looking for David.
We cannot hold them off much longer.

19:42.682 --> 19:44.309
-I will take David clear of the battle.
-No!

19:44.392 --> 19:46.269
-Clear the field!
-Take some men with you.

19:46.352 --> 19:47.520
Abi… Abinadab! I can fight!

19:53.318 --> 19:54.569
[both panting]

19:59.282 --> 20:00.366
There, there.

20:00.450 --> 20:01.451
Are you ready?

20:02.577 --> 20:03.703
I don't think I can.

20:03.786 --> 20:05.163
We have no time.

20:06.789 --> 20:07.790
Go.

20:09.459 --> 20:11.502
-Sir! Sir!
-Follow them!

20:22.096 --> 20:23.097
[grunting]

20:23.181 --> 20:26.059
-Eliab!
-That's him! Kill that boy!

20:29.520 --> 20:31.773
-Eliab! Eliab!
-Run! Go!

20:31.856 --> 20:33.191
Go! Go!

20:33.733 --> 20:35.151
Kill the boy! Go!

20:59.676 --> 21:00.677
[grunts]

21:01.803 --> 21:03.638
That boy is my brother!

21:06.891 --> 21:10.520
-The king is dead! Retreat.
-Fall back. Retreat.

21:10.603 --> 21:13.272
-Retreat.
-No! No, stay in the fight!

21:13.356 --> 21:14.691
Send the signal!

21:15.483 --> 21:17.944
We push them back all the way to Gath!

21:27.704 --> 21:29.998
Forward!

21:33.459 --> 21:37.505
Follow me! For the tribe of Judah!

21:41.300 --> 21:43.052
Push them back!

21:54.355 --> 21:56.274
[Samuel] Give us strength, oh, Lord.

21:57.567 --> 21:59.402
Give us this ground.

22:00.278 --> 22:02.238
As in the days of Moses,

22:02.739 --> 22:05.658
shield us by night in a pillar of fire!

22:08.161 --> 22:10.038
Grant us victory.

22:12.832 --> 22:14.959
Give us this ground!

22:15.043 --> 22:16.669
[soldiers] Fall back!

22:22.133 --> 22:24.844
[Agag] Saul…

22:24.927 --> 22:26.345
You cannot hide from me.

22:26.846 --> 22:29.682
Saul…

22:35.980 --> 22:37.857
-Saul…
-[grunting]

22:41.736 --> 22:43.905
Saul…

22:48.326 --> 22:50.870
Great warrior king.

22:52.538 --> 22:57.043
But you have not defeated me.

23:17.105 --> 23:18.523
-Hide. Hide!
-All right.

23:19.273 --> 23:20.274
Hide!

23:21.067 --> 23:22.276
Abinadab.

23:22.777 --> 23:25.113
This is not helpful, David. Get down.

23:25.196 --> 23:27.365
-I killed a lion with it.
-[Nathaneel] We know.

23:27.448 --> 23:29.659
Just sit down, for the mercy of God.

23:30.827 --> 23:32.078
Sit down!

23:34.997 --> 23:36.916
We have to get David to safety.

23:36.999 --> 23:39.127
We're surrounded, brother.
There's no safety.

23:39.794 --> 23:41.796
[grunting]

24:20.334 --> 24:21.335
[grunts]

24:29.093 --> 24:31.304
Abinadab, where is David?

24:32.013 --> 24:33.181
Nathaneel!

24:33.264 --> 24:34.265
He was just here.

24:34.348 --> 24:35.766
Then go and find him!

24:39.854 --> 24:42.440
-David.
-Brother. Get me out of here.

24:42.523 --> 24:43.774
Get up! Go.

24:52.491 --> 24:53.784
[panting]

[both grunting]

25:08.257 --> 25:09.967
[whimpering]

25:12.386 --> 25:15.097
Father, why do we fight?

25:15.640 --> 25:18.392
Why do we fight? [scoffs]

25:22.104 --> 25:25.858
Tell me, what does the shepherd do?

25:27.360 --> 25:29.111
He watches the sheep.

25:29.195 --> 25:31.656
That's right. And do you know why?

25:34.867 --> 25:39.622
Because there are lions
and wolves in this world.

25:39.705 --> 25:44.877
And if the shepherd does not fight them
when they come, his sheep will be eaten.

25:45.795 --> 25:48.339
And soon his flock will disappear.

25:48.422 --> 25:51.092
He will no longer be a shepherd,

25:51.717 --> 25:56.597
and all that will be left
are the lions and the wolves.

25:58.641 --> 26:00.268
That is why we fight.

26:01.602 --> 26:02.937
To protect our flock.

26:03.729 --> 26:08.818
Our people, our lands,
and all we hold dear.

26:09.318 --> 26:12.655
So we, too, will not disappear.

26:13.698 --> 26:15.992
But I do not know how to fight.

26:16.993 --> 26:18.869
Then I shall teach you,

26:18.953 --> 26:24.208
so one day you will be
able to fight the lions and the wolves.

26:24.292 --> 26:25.668

Are you all right?

26:52.903 --> 26:55.781
-Blood. I have blood on me.
-We have to go. We have to go.

28:40.010 --> 28:44.181
Oh, Lord.
Help me remember the better days…

28:58.487 --> 29:03.242
Saul. Son of Kish,
leader of the tribe of Benjamin.

29:04.743 --> 29:07.746
King of all Israel.

29:08.539 --> 29:11.125
The Most High shines
his light on you this day,

29:12.251 --> 29:18.007
as he did years ago when his people cried
out for a king to unify them.

29:18.716 --> 29:23.012
He called upon you, his faithful servant,

29:23.637 --> 29:27.391
to lead them, to protect them,

29:27.475 --> 29:29.393
and you have done so,

29:29.477 --> 29:34.732
claiming great victories
in his name and for his glory.

29:35.816 --> 29:37.610
Long may you reign.

29:38.611 --> 29:43.032
May your house rule the kingdom
for generations to come.

29:44.325 --> 29:47.369
Saul, when you were small
in your own eyes,

29:47.453 --> 29:50.289
the Lord lifted you up and made you king.

29:50.372 --> 29:54.168
Now that you are great in your own eyes,

29:54.251 --> 29:59.298
you have rebelled and made yourself
evil in the eyes of the Lord.

29:59.798 --> 30:02.176
-Evil?
-[Agag laughs]

30:02.760 --> 30:06.263
You have twisted
the throne of Israel to your own glory,

30:06.347 --> 30:11.060
so you will be given
to a twisted power and your own torment.

30:11.143 --> 30:13.103
You are alone.

30:13.187 --> 30:15.606
[Samuel]
The Lord has torn the kingdom from you.

30:15.689 --> 30:17.316
Abandoned.

30:17.399 --> 30:18.859
Now he chooses another.

30:18.943 --> 30:20.611
Forsaken.

30:20.694 --> 30:22.655
A man after his own heart.

30:23.364 --> 30:27.826
A king without his God.

30:27.910 --> 30:29.245
Samuel!

30:29.328 --> 30:31.288
[shouting, grunting]

30:32.623 --> 30:33.874
[Agag groans]

30:44.843 --> 30:46.220

30:48.305 --> 30:49.390
It is done.

-[shouts]

30:54.228 --> 30:57.648

[grunts]

31:04.989 --> 31:06.073
It is over!

31:08.576 --> 31:11.579
[Achish] No, it is not over.

31:19.587 --> 31:21.505
You missed much of the battle, King.

31:22.673 --> 31:24.300
Now the battle comes to you.

31:25.384 --> 31:28.721
Achish. Son of Maoch.

31:31.223 --> 31:32.808
You do me a great honor.

31:32.891 --> 31:36.061
Honoring you is not my intent.

31:36.895 --> 31:40.774
Yet all of this,
your whole campaign is about me.

31:41.358 --> 31:43.444
And your thirst to avenge your father.

31:43.944 --> 31:45.529
And to restore my people

31:46.280 --> 31:49.533
to their rightful place
as rulers over yours.

31:51.452 --> 31:54.121
Your father held similar ambitions.

31:54.830 --> 31:56.624
They proved to be his undoing.

31:56.707 --> 31:59.043
Oh, you'll come to find
I am not my father.

31:59.126 --> 32:01.337
That you are not.

32:05.966 --> 32:07.301
[grunting]

32:50.427 --> 32:52.304
What dark pagan magic is this?

32:52.388 --> 32:55.557
Not magic, Saul. Fate.

32:58.644 --> 33:00.187
This is for my father.

33:00.688 --> 33:02.272
[both groaning]

34:04.334 --> 34:05.836
Your wounds betray you.

34:11.425 --> 34:12.676
Giant-slayer.

34:14.511 --> 34:15.512
[David grunts]

34:16.054 --> 34:17.473
Stupid boy.

34:39.077 --> 34:40.120
Finish it.

34:41.038 --> 34:43.290
Or by the gods
I shall finish you, Jonathan.

34:43.373 --> 34:45.250
-Finish it!
-Jonathan!

-[groans]
-Jonathan!

34:51.089 --> 34:52.424
[grunts]

34:57.846 --> 34:59.014
What are you doing?

34:59.097 --> 35:01.975
You will get your vengeance, King,
but not today.

35:02.059 --> 35:03.477
No!

35:06.438 --> 35:08.524
Jonathan. Jonathan.

35:08.607 --> 35:10.025
[grunting]

35:10.108 --> 35:12.694
-It's me. It's me. It's me.
-[groaning]

35:13.362 --> 35:14.571
Are you all right?

35:14.655 --> 35:17.491
David, what of the battle?

35:22.120 --> 35:23.413
They're running away.

35:24.456 --> 35:26.583
We're chasing them to the Gates of Gath.

35:28.210 --> 35:29.461
It's over.

35:35.717 --> 35:37.052
I have to go find my brothers.

35:37.636 --> 35:41.932
Go. Go. I will tend to my father, go.

35:46.103 --> 35:47.145
All right.

35:56.446 --> 35:57.614
My son.

35:59.366 --> 36:00.367
Come.

36:06.915 --> 36:07.916
Where is Achish?

36:08.834 --> 36:09.960
He escaped.

36:12.713 --> 36:13.797
No matter.

36:15.424 --> 36:16.800
The battle is won.

36:17.634 --> 36:18.719
Good.

36:19.720 --> 36:22.764
-[Jonathan cries]
-Good, my son. Good.

36:26.268 --> 36:27.352
Are you not hurt?

36:27.895 --> 36:29.271
No, I'm all right.

36:33.233 --> 36:34.443
Let's go.

37:27.829 --> 37:29.706
Victory!

37:33.460 --> 37:35.170

37:48.308 --> 37:50.018
[cheering continues]

37:58.068 --> 37:59.277
Well done, boy.

38:01.738 --> 38:02.906
David.

38:03.490 --> 38:06.702
-Don't disappear on me like that. Huh?
-[chuckles]

38:36.648 --> 38:37.649
Elie…

38:37.733 --> 38:38.900
I'm here.

38:38.984 --> 38:41.737
-[gasping]
-I'm here with you.

38:46.074 --> 38:47.617
-Breathe.
-Elie…

38:47.701 --> 38:48.702
Yes?

38:52.581 --> 38:54.750
Can we go home now?

38:55.959 --> 38:57.461
Yes, Nath.

38:59.046 --> 39:00.714
Yes, we can go home.

39:05.761 --> 39:10.348
Tell David I'm sorry I doubted him.

39:13.143 --> 39:14.144
I will.

39:17.731 --> 39:18.732
I'm sorry.

39:25.614 --> 39:26.782
N-No.

39:30.410 --> 39:33.497

[Saul laughs]

40:10.158 --> 40:11.493
My daughters.

40:12.869 --> 40:14.371
You were to stay in the tent.

40:14.454 --> 40:15.747
The camp was overrun.

40:16.665 --> 40:18.041
How did you survive?

40:19.835 --> 40:20.836
We stayed together.

40:21.586 --> 40:22.671
We fought the wolves.

40:25.382 --> 40:27.300
My daughters are warriors.

40:27.384 --> 40:28.802
[chuckles]

40:30.137 --> 40:31.304
My king.

My champion!

40:37.185 --> 40:38.812
[crowd cheers]

40:43.733 --> 40:45.861
You know a great many doubted you.

40:45.944 --> 40:46.945
And doubted me.

40:47.821 --> 40:49.447
Some in this very tent.

40:50.240 --> 40:52.367
But I could see what none of them could.

40:52.450 --> 40:57.539
God's hand is on you as it is on me.

40:58.832 --> 41:03.295
Even still, how is it a boy, a musician,

41:04.129 --> 41:08.550
comes to fight in my army, slay a giant,

41:09.634 --> 41:11.178
and saves my life?

41:14.931 --> 41:18.018
Tell me. Who are you?

41:19.895 --> 41:21.229
You know who I am, my king.

41:22.355 --> 41:23.356
Do I?

41:26.943 --> 41:28.195
Where did you come from?

41:30.113 --> 41:32.699
I'm a shepherd from Judah. Nothing more.

41:33.450 --> 41:34.576
[Saul] Well, shepherd.

41:34.659 --> 41:36.786
Did the prophet Samuel visit your family?

41:38.997 --> 41:39.998
Yes.

41:41.041 --> 41:43.627
[Saul] It seems now you are so much more.

41:44.127 --> 41:45.128
Jonathan.

41:50.008 --> 41:53.220
On behalf of all of Israel,
we thank you, David.

41:56.514 --> 41:57.682
You've saved us all.

41:59.935 --> 42:04.147
Father, there is no one in all of Israel
more worthy for us to honor.

42:09.402 --> 42:10.403
My sword.

42:11.655 --> 42:12.656
It is now yours.

42:15.992 --> 42:17.118
Thank you.

42:19.246 --> 42:23.917
From this day forward,
you are part of the house of Saul.

42:24.000 --> 42:25.460
[cheering]

42:33.718 --> 42:34.719
Mychal.

42:36.388 --> 42:37.847
David, you've…

42:39.599 --> 42:41.059
You came back to me.

42:41.142 --> 42:44.062
With God's help, yes.

42:52.654 --> 42:53.655
[groans]

43:03.415 --> 43:04.499
Are you all right?

43:04.582 --> 43:05.583
Yeah.

43:07.127 --> 43:09.587
Ah, you wear the colors
of my family's house well.

43:09.671 --> 43:11.214
I hope I will live up to them.

43:14.718 --> 43:15.969
What you have done here…

43:18.346 --> 43:20.098
it will never be forgotten.

43:20.974 --> 43:22.726
Not by Israel, nor by me.

43:29.774 --> 43:30.817
Jonathan…

43:32.861 --> 43:35.989
is there something
you'd like to ask me about Samuel?

43:40.785 --> 43:42.287
You are part of my house.

43:44.080 --> 43:45.623
We are now brothers.

43:59.012 --> 44:00.472
[footsteps approaching]

44:25.789 --> 44:27.040
[grunts]

44:28.333 --> 44:29.626
Interesting.

44:30.251 --> 44:32.087
[speaks indistinctly] Psst.

44:32.170 --> 44:34.005
-Come here. Come.
-What is it, Doeg?

44:44.015 --> 44:48.645
Deliver this to Abner. Only to Abner.

44:49.229 --> 44:50.397
And tell no one.

45:03.868 --> 45:04.869
[Saul] Samuel!

45:28.143 --> 45:30.103
I didn't expect to see you here.

45:35.150 --> 45:37.193
I heard you left these lands.

45:37.944 --> 45:40.238
I was driven from these lands.

45:42.907 --> 45:43.992
What is between us.

45:44.993 --> 45:47.871
-This misunderstanding is over.
-Is it?

45:49.372 --> 45:52.959
Your misunderstanding is not with me.

45:53.543 --> 45:57.005
My torment has lifted.
Darkness has passed.

45:57.088 --> 46:00.800
Your torment is of your own making, Saul.

46:01.384 --> 46:03.470
You were not abandoned by the Most High.

46:03.553 --> 46:08.933
It was you who abandoned him and his word,
in pursuit of your own glory.

46:10.977 --> 46:14.189
Why would you believe
he has granted you mercy?

46:14.939 --> 46:18.401
I won this battle without you.

46:22.322 --> 46:23.323
God favored me.

46:23.907 --> 46:26.534
He always has. He does still.

46:26.618 --> 46:28.536
And now I have a new champion.

46:30.205 --> 46:31.664
A slayer of giants.

46:33.374 --> 46:37.462
Who I chose. All without you, Samuel.

46:42.675 --> 46:45.178
So, great Seer,

46:46.763 --> 46:48.932
I offer you this moment.

46:50.475 --> 46:54.979
You will anoint me again,
on these sacred grounds, for all to see.

46:55.980 --> 46:58.066
This I cannot do.

46:59.734 --> 47:00.735
Why not?

47:00.818 --> 47:02.654
The Lord has not commanded it.

47:02.737 --> 47:04.113
The king has commanded it.

47:04.197 --> 47:09.994
Surely you must know by now,
I do not serve kings.

47:17.585 --> 47:18.586
Very well.

47:24.592 --> 47:25.593
Guards!

47:28.805 --> 47:30.265
Arrest the Seer.

47:30.348 --> 47:31.349
[Abner] Saul.

47:38.731 --> 47:40.942
In time you will heed my words.

47:43.611 --> 47:45.113
This is finished, Samuel.

47:47.949 --> 47:48.950
No, Saul.

47:54.831 --> 47:56.291
It is just beginning.

48:02.505 --> 48:04.340
[Abner] Perhaps there is
another course of action?

48:04.424 --> 48:05.758
[Saul] I have decided!

48:33.453 --> 48:35.538
[cheering]

48:35.622 --> 48:37.498
[Saul] God has given us the victory,

48:37.582 --> 48:39.208
a new son

48:40.209 --> 48:41.210
and champion.

48:42.420 --> 48:44.130
[Ahinoam] David is a threat.

48:45.590 --> 48:47.258
I know what I'm doing.

48:47.342 --> 48:51.179
-[civilians chanting] David! David!
-It is your name they should be chanting.

48:51.262 --> 48:55.642
If he shines too bright,
even a king may find himself blinded.

48:57.310 --> 48:59.437
We are what this kingdom needs.

49:00.229 --> 49:01.939
I will do whatever I must.

49:04.484 --> 49:05.568
Or we will lose everything.

49:08.446 --> 49:10.281
To be anointed is to be alone.

49:11.949 --> 49:15.620
[Samuel] David, you have been given
a great and difficult task.

49:15.703 --> 49:20.208
An uncommon life bears uncommon cost.

49:22.460 --> 49:25.004
[Adriel] My king. I saw Samuel.

49:26.005 --> 49:27.215
[shouts]

49:27.298 --> 49:29.092
I know who he anointed.

49:31.969 --> 49:33.596
We have a traitor in our midst.

49:35.890 --> 49:37.225
You were the threat to the throne.

49:37.308 --> 49:39.268
[Ahinoam] For the future of our family,

49:40.436 --> 49:42.939
David must die.

49:44.816 --> 49:45.858
[soldiers shouting]

49:47.068 --> 49:49.862
No more deception. Did Samuel choose you?

49:49.946 --> 49:51.656
No. God chose me.

49:51.739 --> 49:53.366
[shouting]
se me.
