Previously on House of David...

Today I offer up my daughter
to one of your sons.

- You cannot go through with this.
- This is my life, David.

The last thing we need is
you chasing a shepherd boy.

If I become a part of the family,
there will be no bloodshed.

You will not speak a word.

You are "mother of giants."

- What would you offer them?
- Vengeance.

Kill the lion.

Our houses will not be joined.

Saul, let's discuss
this in the morning.

Do not pacify me, woman!

Get out of my house!

It all began in the days
of the great rebellion.

When the angels of heaven
sought after the eternal throne,

they rose in defiance, but
were defeated and cast out.

They fell unto the
earth, these angels.

Cast out by God or tasked
with watching the sons of men.

It is not truly known.

While some claim it as
legend, others say it is true.

A story passed down
for generations.

Born unto men were fair
and beautiful daughters

bearing the image of God.

Some angels saw them and found
themselves filled with craven desire.

And their leader, Samyaza,
said unto the others,

"Let us choose wives from
the daughters of men,

and let us beget for
ourselves children."

And so it was.

And from that union sprang forth
something other than sons of men.

Giants, born from
a forbidden union.

Men of renowned and great ability,
they walk the earth as gods among us.

But God punished the
angels for their sin...

and banished them
into eternal darkness,

never to walk the earth again.

All that was left was the
sire of their rebellion,

feared and hunted by men.

They are you, my children.

You are the last
of the Nephilim.

If all that you say is true...

then why do we still
hide in this cave?

What is it now, Achish? I grow
tired of being summoned by you

only to be indulged with
tales of fantasy and lore.

They are real. I've seen them.

I believed in your father,
and I believe in you as well.

You know this.

But the five armies
will only unite

if they can see this great
strength for themselves.

No myth, legend.

Do you hear that?

You wish to see my strength.

It's about to walk up to my
gate and kneel at my feet.

It has been many weeks. I
feared you wouldn't come.

If it weren't for my
son, I would not have.

Please, allow my servants
to look after you.

Whatever you desire.

Great one, I have something
interesting for you to see.

Tell the other kings to
assemble in the Valley of Elah.

I will meet you there with
my army and my giants.

The time is now.

Mychal.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to see a
future that can't be seen.

You sound like Mother's mystic.

Sometimes this
palace can feel so...

Mmm.

Many a time I have found myself sitting
on the walls and looking to the horizon,

just in hopes of seeing our
brother Eshbaal one last time,

but, uh, I lost him,
and myself as well.

I'm sorry Father
stopped your wedding.

Mmm, no.

Our function is to be
dutiful servants to the king,

no matter how
inconsistent he becomes.

Happiness and free will are
no more than an illusion.

Then there is you.

Your little secret meetings.

Slightly less talked about in the
palace than Father's sickness.

Are you falling in love?

Hmm?

No.

I was.

I was. And... And now
I'm... I'm conflicted.

- Your pure, innocent heart.
- Uh, compared to your jaded one.

Stop avoiding.

Why are you torn?

Mother told me some things I didn't know,
and now I-I see another side to him.

He's a peasant, and you'll
never be allowed to marry him.

You will learn eventually.

We are a ladder men climb
to reach their ambitions,

and the sooner you accept it...

...the less painful
their footsteps will be.

God has bestowed a
blessed gift upon you.

Thank you, my king.

I envy you.

The life you live back
home, the purity of it.

Watching your herd, the farm.

I miss it.

You grew up on a farm?

I was not born
king. I became one.

Much like you, I tended animals.

Donkeys, in my case.

Stubborn things, much
more so than sheep.

But it was, uh, good preparation,
I suppose, for leading men.

So you are saying
men are like donkeys.

Worse sometimes.

From shepherd to king.

All is possible.

You can be anything, no
matter where you start.

And do not allow the words of any one
man to take your destiny from you.

It's yours.

Hold on to it tight.

Oh. A visit. How wonderful.

I was never here.

If the queen found out...

We keep each other's
secrets, now as ever.

You may leave now.

Don't be afraid, Reuben.

Kezia has told me such
wonderful things about you.

How smart you are,
how well you listen,

and that you were with
the king one night.

A special night.

At the battlefield, when a
man visited the king. Huh?

- Samuel?
- Yes. Samuel. What did he say?

- Do you kill them at the end?
- Huh?

The animals. Do
you sacrifice them?

I'm no seer, Reuben.

Then why hurt them?

Why?

Because I can learn from them.

They have things inside
I wish to know about.

Have you ever seen
a heart up close?

Huh?

No? Would you like to?

Then tell me what you
heard, and in return,

I will show you a
great many things here.

They were loud,
and the king cried.

And then God
replaced him as king.

The Lord has torn
a kingdom from you.

He was an... anoi...

- Anointed?
- Anointed.

Thank you, Reuben.

The forging of metal was first
taught to man by the gods,

and at the end of the last great age,
the secrets of the mystic arts were lost.

As were so many other
precious elements required.

Bronze. Metal.

And the will to forge it.

Panoply armor.

Divine. Crafted by the
finest Mycenaean blacksmith.

There's none like it.

Yes.

This will do.

Hey, look.

You want to fight?

Huh? [laughs] You
two want to play?

Don't worry. They
will not harm him.

I cannot say the same in return.

Who wants to fight?

Eh? [shouts] Come!

Where you go? Come back!

Ally with me. Aid in my victory.

You and your sons
will live like kings.

Kings?

They are already gods.

You move pieces around a map.

Arguing and fighting over whose land
is whose, what god is more powerful.

As if you truly
control any of it.

So, what do you say to my offer?
Together we can find vengeance.

Let Goliath slay their
king, enslave his people.

There will be enough spoils for
all of us when this victory is won.

Vengeance is something that I've
wished for as long as I can remember.

So, here is my offer in return.

My sons will ally with
you on one condition.

Name it.

Your throne.

I don't understand.

Why would my sons kneel at
the feet of any man? Even you.

It is men who must
kneel before gods.

When the victory is won, it will
be Goliath who rules this land.

All of it.

Kiss my hand now and
swear it will be so.

No.

Then you will have no giants.

And without them you
shall have no victory.

But I'd be careful, Achish.

Once you have awakened giants,
they seldom go back to sleep.

Our spies in Philistine
suggest something's afoot.

Troops gathering here and here.

Some sort of accord between
at least two of their nations.

- To what cause, we do not know.
- Ill omens all around us.

I suspect it's King
Achish behind this.

He's ambitious, vengeful.

But up to now untested
and unsupported.

I thought we neutered
his threat years ago.

His father, yes, but since Achish came
out of hiding and took back the thrown,

they have become emboldened.

By what?

Word of your ailment
has spread, Father.

They may feel an
opportunity exists.

To defeat me? How many time must
you beat a dog before it lies down?

Perhaps we should remind
them, strike first before...

No, no. I... Forgive
me, my king. Unwise.

We should fortify our defenses,

and... and wait to see
what manifests of...

"Wait"?

Since when were you afraid of
taking the fight to the enemy?

We destroyed the
entire Amalekite army,

despite their better
weapons and greater numbers.

We prevailed with
God at our backs.

With God.

Father.

- Are you well?
- As well as ever.

The border village attack...

Do not raise giants
with me again.

Father, you cannot discount it.

There were signs.

You want me to cower in
fear because of a handprint?

I thought you were a hero to our
people, not a terrified child!

I'm surrounded by
weakness. Them and you!

No one will take
me from my throne.

Not Adriel, or
Achish, and not you!

Father.

Let them come.
Let them all come!

I'll show them the
strength of a real king.

I'll cut every one
of them to pieces.

Mychal.

Why didn't you tell
me who you really are?

My mother told me you were an outcast
to your tribe and your family.

It changes nothing
of how I see you,

but I thought we were
honest with each other.

The truth is I'm afraid.

When people find out who I
really am... they run away,

and I lose them.

Am I going to lose you now?

David.

My-My brother, he offered me a
way out of the castle unseen.

You could come with me.

It sounds like a
pleasant fiction.

Let me show you what you can
be like outside of these walls,

no royal destiny weighing
on your shoulders.

Freedom.

It's a simple life, even if
just for a moment in time.

When she saw I was missing, my mother
would send the king's army to retrieve me.

- You would be a hunted man.
- Then we can go further.

Somewhere they
can never find us.

David...

there is a difference
between desire and duty.

My future is not mine to decide.

That is true only
if you believe it.

Here are two things that
are absolutely true...

I love you...

- What?
- And we can never be.

Never.

Mychal.

Let me take a hundred men, catch
them in the valley, kill them both.

You would need many
more than that.

Halt!

- My lord. Peace.
- Stay right there.

Doeg. What do you want?

I am but a servant to power.

There may be another way
to get what you want.

Samuel?

Samuel!

He's getting worse.

It lies at the very dark edge of my
knowledge, and it come with risk.

How-How grave?

It will either provide a
window into his affliction,

and a pathway out of it, or...

Just do it. He... He's
gonna hurt himself.

Hold him still.

What for?

I need to take his blood.

Mychal.

Mychal.

David, what are you doing
in the royal quarters?

- I'm...
- Oh, you are looking for her, aren't you?

- Have you lost your mind? That's it.
- What are you doing?

- You are going home. Now!
- What are you doing? Let go.

Eliab, what is this?

My prince.

It is time for my brother
to leave the palace.

Stop. Now.

The musician is in the
service of my father.

The king will decide
when he leaves.

My brother has been a curse
on our house all of his life.

You pray he is not one on yours.

From his tongue to his mind.

Show me.

What is it? What do you see?

A lion...

...and a man.

Both one.

A name. Give me a name.

Something else.

An energy. A presence.

A name.

Yes, let me see you...

This ends now.

- What have you done?
- Spared us all from this.

Under law, even a
queen can be killed...

- Do not tell me what the law is.
- God rules this house.

God has forsaken this house.

This is not the way.

You.

You.

You caused all of this.

Get out while you still can.

I saw enough to know this.

You will never be king. Never.

Death is coming.

Mother spoke little
upon your arrival.

Just grumblings about
the treachery of men.

Well, I liked them.

Your wish to survive should
outweigh all others. Heed my words.

Achish offered us a future
and you turned him down?

He offered you subservience.

But isn't that the same
as we have here with you?

I have sacrificed all I am
to care for and protect you.

I'm sorry, Mother.

I simply yearn for a
life outside this cave.

Well, I can give you
part of what you want.

This place is no longer safe.

If Achish and his people could
find us here, who else might?

We must seek a new home.

Where we hide again.

Where we protect ourselves.

At least until I can find a
way to get us what you deserve.

You will spend one more night here,
and we pack what we need, and we go.

A new life cannot begin without
the death of the old one.

Your fingers. They're bleeding.

Put down your lyre.
Let me tend to you.

You've been playing for hours.

I can still play.

No. Put it down.

Much as I am calmed by your
music, I cannot have it harm you.

I've...

no memory of what
happened the other night.

I remember only pieces.

I fear I am the only one to
blame of all that is happening.

Samuel has anointed another
for reasons I cannot reconcile.

Not knowing who it is, it
torments me day after day.

Robbing me of every joy.

A king often faces
difficult choices.

When you take my place,

this will be as true for
you as it is for me, my son.

Jonathan.

I'm so sorry, my king. I have
failed to ease your mind.

I think it's time
for me to leave.

Come now. Must you yell to sing?

You will bring the rocks
down upon our heads.

We cannot waste a
good wine, Mother.

And so a toast.

To the mightiest sons a
mother could ever have.

One day, the world
will bow before you...

and revere you as
you all deserve.

Ima.

Ima, Ima, Ima, Ima, Ima.

All gone.

There are a few more skins left.

I will fetch them.

To Ima.

- To Ima.
- Ima!

Orpah.

Who is that?

Greetings from Israel
and the house of Saul.

Goliath!

Now you scream for me.

Ima!

Ima!

Who did this?

Who did this?

House of Saul...

Avenge me.

No! No!

No.

No!

No!

Going somewhere?

You didn't steal
anything, did you?

I must go.

I fear I may be more of a
problem than a solution.

The queen agreed.

I can do no good here.

True.

Your music only seemed to slow down
my father's descent, not stop it.

Music is not a cure
for what ails him.

Apparently neither is magic.

David.

Before you go...

- What of Mychal? Hmm?
- What do you mean?

What... [whispering] What does
your heart wish her to know?

What are you doing?

Tell me... And I
will tell Mychal.

Hmm?

I realize that our
futures are not aligned.

We have different paths.

It didn't stop me
from loving her.

Truly and completely.

Yes, of course.

Goodbye, David.

Goodbye, Princess.

I've only just heard.

There's no other way, Abner.

- I have to do something.
- Samuel is in hiding.

You won't find him in Nob.

I know him well enough.

There's only one place
he could take refuge.

Be careful.

And you, Abner.

Father.

Father!

Father!

Father, retreat!

Samuel! Samuel, it's Jonathan.

- It's what?
- It's Jonathan!

Jonathan?

- Jonathan?
- Yes!

Jonathan. Why didn't you say so?

Are you hurt?

You have not lost your strength.

No, I have old
man strength, huh?

And I have a very good stick.

Hila.

Drink this. It
will help calm you.

Good to see you after
all these years.

Such a strong young
man you have become.

And you remain a gracious host.

Wish I could say the
same for your husband.

His burdens wear heavy
on his shoulders.

He has to take them
out on someone.

Hmm.

What just happened to me?

Hmm? I don't
understand what I saw.

In time, you will.

Tell me, how did you find me?

I thought there is only one
mountain more holy than Nob.

- Indeed.
- Sinai.

Mountain of fire.

I derive great strength here.

Great wisdom.

Still...

I need no vision to
understand why you've come.

You remember the
days past, Samuel?

Fighting at my father's side.

And teaching me as a boy.

Hmm.

These memories flood
me each and every day.

They break my heart.

Then why does this curse remain?

Jonathan, the only curse is your
father's unwillingness to release

what is no longer his. Hmm?

Tell me,

what is the first commandment
that Moses gave here,

here on this very mountain?

"You shall have no
other gods before me."

Ah. And yet,

your father has become
a god unto himself.

And he is tormented
because of that.

You can bring him back.

- I have no such power.
- You do.

You are Samuel.

You led Israel. You...
All men fear you.

- No.
- As they should.

No, Jonathan.

I have begged for your father,

for your house.

It changes nothing.

There are some mistakes
that cannot be undone.

And the visions I had
ascending the mountain...

will they come to pass?

There is truth in them.

But I cannot say whether
they will come to pass.

Hey.

Jonathan.

None of this is your doing.

There is much goodness in you.

If you believe
that, then tell me.

You anointed another?

First I must ask,
who do you serve?

God. Above all.

Indeed I have.

As king?

A king whose reign
will know no end.

If I were you, I would pass by
the great valley on your return.

I see great darkness.

No.

Saul.

No!

Saul.

- Saul.
- Where's that boy?

The... The musician.

He's gone.

I need him.

H-How could you let him go?

I need him to play for me.

I know. I know.

We will find
another. I promise.

You are not slipping away from
me again are you, my love?

- I'm trying.
- Good.

You have time.

I'm certain of it.

Now, here.

Drink this.

I will kill you!

Hebrews! House of Saul!

Saba, more hay.

I am coming, Avva, right now.

Here.

Here you go.

Avva, look.

David.

David!

Avva.

David!

My boy!

The Philistines have assembled...
...at the Mount of Elah.

We've already received word.

How many did you see?

They cover the mountain
like sands on the shore.

- I've never seen such an army.
- Do giants walk among them?

I cannot say for sure.

Summon the tribes.

All of them.

My king.

Together we shall do
what we have always done.

Fight!

Hold.

Let me fight their king.

Let me kill them all.

And in your name,

I will show them who
the real gods are.
