PREVIOUSLY AT DAVID'S HOUSE

I don't understand why your father trusts him.

Doeg? We don't trust him,

but it is useful to us.

It worries me.

I would like to explain to you.

I only asked you one thing: "Don't embarrass me."

I know about the anointing.

When you sit on your throne,

remember who protected you.

Give David what he wants.

Let him marry Mical,

but only if you complete one last mission.

One that I won't survive.

Did you tell David we could get married?

Yes. But first he must prove his worth.

Something's not right.

It's a trap!

Let them burn.

Giantslayer, your king betrayed you.

Why are you fighting for him?

My king, we destroy the forge.

I will marry Michal.

That's what it will be like.

I want you out of this house.

You are banished!

He will love you, bless you and multiply you.

He will bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land,

the breeding of your cows and the flocks of your sheep

in the land that swore to your ancestors What would I give you?

Hear now my words.

When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord,

I will appear to him in visions,

in my dreams I will talk to him.

In the cities of Judah and in the streets that are desolate

the voice of joy and gladness must still be heard,

voice of a husband and voice of a bride.

Drink water and also give it to the horse. Go.

Here.

What's that?

An invitation.

The Giant Killer will marry the princess.

With Michal.

It is a new beginning for Israel.

THE HOUSE OF DAVID

- The silos! - Fire!

- They burn! - Come on! Fast!

Bring water!

THE KING'S SILOS GABAA CITY

Carefully.

Luckily, the fire did not spread.

Luckily?

They had just filled with grain the five silos.

It was for the entire winter.

There is more there.

The Philistines.

We finish off his giant, but not with his will.

Don't I have enough problems?

Their attacks increased

- and forge better weapons. - Us too.

Aquis is behind this. He just wants revenge.

Without grain, there could be famine before spring.

May the other tribes give us a tribute.

And a ration of your supplies.

Let Judah begin.

I will not kneel to beg for anything, That would show weakness.

The famine is worse.

It makes people act without thinking.

How about Edom?

Our peace alliance with Edom is fragile.

Their king is vengeful and spiteful.

We haven't spoken in 20 years.

I wouldn't want to cause a bigger problem.

I will negotiate with them.

And how do you plan to do that? without getting your head cut off?

Father, in this...

In this situation, my unbridled and reckless past

could be useful.

Let's say once I spent a memorable night in Edom

with the king's closest advisor.

We are friends

or something like that.

I'll talk to him.

Go and try it.

I will not fail you.

Leave us alone for a moment, Abner.

You don't want to defend your mother.

I must do it.

You will not banish her forever.

- A queen deserves respect. - And a king?

Betrayal?

How exactly did he betray you?

David should not return of that mission, right?

The Philistines were waiting for him.

That idea was your mother's. Maybe now you understand my decision.

David has already proven his worth.

Now he is worthy of this family.

sometimes I wonder if the family is worthy of him.

Merab?

What's wrong with this family?

What family?

What is this about?

Of the digging of wells in the north.

Can't they dig them themselves?

With your money, yes.

What bothers you?

- Are you afraid to talk to your king? - No.

But I would like to talk to my friend.

I really believe in you.

He knows it. My life revolves around that.

Continue.

I'm worried.

- The silos, our enemies cannot... - No.

That's not what worries me.

No one can destroy the House of Saul...

...more than Saul.

What good is a king that conquers the world

if he loses himself?

Banish Ahinoam.

Putting a maid into her bed.

She is now my common-law wife.

It is a right of the king.

Not from the king of Israel.

Not yours.

I beg you.

Remember the man you used to be.

I think you won.

Do you want good news?

What good news?

No.

Are you sure?

I am a healer and a woman, Jonathan,

so yes, I'm sure.

Oh my god, sorry.

Calm down, I won't break.

Does anyone else know?

He will have it all.

And I'll teach him to ride a horse and pick vegetables...

What if it's a girl?

I will do the same.

We will live a peaceful life and calm in your village,

far from war and conflict.

It sounds like a dream.

Is it possible?

When David is king, yes.

I just need to ensure a path of peace and may my family be safe.

Honestly, I won't miss this place.

So, I only ask you this:

don't reveal anything.

Until our baby is born and let us be safe and free.

Promise me.

I promise you.

MEI TAHARA PURIFYING WATERS

This is a mikveh.

It is a ceremonial bath before the wedding to celebrate this new beginning.

It is water that comes from the earth.

"Blessed are you, our God,

king of the universe, that you have sanctified us with mitzvot.

You must fully submerge yourself three times.

Blessed is the God of all creation

that gave me life

- and he held me... - He held me

and helped me get to this day.

I will marry you

with righteousness and justice,

with kindness and compassion.

I will marry you forever,

and we will be one with Adonai.

Mical.

David.

You can't see me like this.

I look terrible.

I'm sorry about your mother.

I know what it's like to have a broken family.

I know.

But we must not be like our parents.

We will start again.

We will build our future

and our family.

One without lies or betrayal

nor wars.

It sounds ambitious.

Yes you're right.

David,

I need to know that you are completely mine.

Is this supposed to Will it distract me from the wedding?

Do you want to go mourn at the palace?

Yes, at least there is wine there.

And when we're done, there will be fresh meat for the party.

Do you do this with Isbosheth?

He doesn't need my help.

You ended up loving it, right?

Love.

He intrigues me, and I intrigue him, only that is needed.

I didn't think a man would tame you.

They will never tame me.

Prepare your bow.

Are you ready?

Strip.

I gave him.

Come, we're not done yet.

Come on.

Let's see.

- What do we do? - Hold it.

Stand next to him.

I must cut his throat, so turn around if you want.

Thanks for the gift.

May his blood return to you and to the earth, Adonai.

Merab, that was a great shot.

Death is never easy,

but sacrifice generates new life.

Accepting it allows us to move forward.

Honor suffering.

Wait here.

- See you at the palace. - That?

- I have to take care of something. - Dina!

My king.

Jesse, son of Obed,

David's father.

I am very grateful to you, Isaí.

You gave me a strong and determined son.

I didn't give him anything.

David chose to come.

Have you always been this stubborn?

Yes, just like his mother.

Tell me, Isaí, did we already know each other?

I fought in your army at the battle of Jabez.

I was also in Gilgal when Samuel made him king.

Samuel.

Do you know him?

I worship him.

Many do it.

I don't know him.

Did you ever imagine that your house and mine would come together?

It's the last thing I would have imagined.

It's not a big mohar,

but it's all I have.

Jesse, please.

I am the one who should give you a gift.

Abner.

I don't want anything.

All men want something.

I have never been indebted to the king.

I don't want that to change.

What a strange way to accept gratitude.

Gratitude?

I lost a son who fought for you.

Now I'll lose another

for a future that I would not have chosen for him.

Does it bother you?

When I return to my home in the hills of Bethlehem...

...I will miss my children.

I will miss them.

Please, father.

It's a celebration, remember that.

Yes.

Let's go.

Reds. Let all the pillows be red.

Everything must be ready before the guests arrive.

Help in the garden.

How impressive.

I'm looking for my father and I think you know where it is.

I think he's on his throne.

Edom will send 20 loads of grain before Yom Teruah.

And another 20 for Sukkot.

That, plus a tithe from the tribes, It will be enough to get through the winter.

I didn't think it was possible.

Everything is possible, father.

Come.

The king of Edom would offer none of that without getting something in return.

Of course not. You will take care of the details,

but the king plans to come to discuss them soon.

And you were right, it is spiteful,

but he is also wise and recognize that we are more powerful.

You need new alliances.

He seemed eager to leave behind old resentments.

I underestimated you, my son.

Don't you think it's too much?

No, I think it's cute.

Can you leave us alone for a moment?

Of course.

What do you want?

How many times do we talk about this day?

We dreamed about him for years with our mother.

I wouldn't miss it.

And I won't let you use that atrocity.

Mical, it's horrible.

I knew I shouldn't use it.

Put on some gold.

You always wear gold.

Ready.

Better?

Better.

Mother should be here.

You're right.

But since he's not here, I'll be there.

The family has suffered quite a bit lately.

And I think she would want you to have this.

So you know he is always with you.

It's lovely.

Thank you.

And what will we do with that face?

Father is happy.

Awesome.

Where were you?

I'll tell you later.

- Is that blood? - Yes, I went hunting. Sorry.

Like I said, I'll tell you later.

Look, here comes David.

Look at you.

David.

The princess, Avva, look.

my king,

I have come to ask you Let me take your daughter, Michal,

like my wife.

May the Lord bless her like Rachel and Leah,

who formed the family of our nation.

May we settle in Gibeah

and may we be famous

in Bethlehem and the tribes of Israel.

May our children declare their loyalty to this kingdom

and his love for Adonai for all eternity.

For my beautiful daughter, Mical,

and my new son,

the Giant Killer!

you will be my wife

as long as God allows us.

Let it be for years.

I love you, David.

I love you, Michal.

Princess Michal, David, It was a beautiful ceremony.

- It's beautiful, thank you. - Thank you.

What will we do with all this?

I think they gave us five identical pots.

Thank you.

- I'll be right back. - Clear.

Father, why are you leaving so soon?

I witnessed your wedding with pride, son,

but I must return to the flock.

Thank you for coming here.

David.

It seems your mother was right.

King David.

I never imagined saying those words together.

But how will you rule?

What will you do differently?

I think we both know how they will remember Saul.

How will they remember you?

I will pray for you.

God first of all, right?

Of course.

I love you, son.

I to you, father.

Don't let this place corrupt you.

Father, let's go.

- They allowed me to take you home. - I don't need a guide.

Stop complaining and enjoy the company.

David.

Avva.

Let's go.

Goodbye, son.

Let's go, little one.

David.

You have exalted the tribe of Judah.

For this, I bless you.

What do you want, Adriel?

Don't worry.

I came to celebrate your promotion

and to remind you who cleared your path.

God clears the way for me.

Yes, but God also gives you friends, doesn't he?

And if you want to achieve what you want,

you will need them.

I know what you did.

My family cried for Tobias and his family.

They were innocent.

And do you know who took their lives?

Even the baby?

Your own brother, Eliab.

So tell me, Is he innocent? Are you?

David,

There is much you don't know, my little shepherd,

and I find out everything.

Do you expect me to reward you?

When you have the throne, yes.

Or I will tell everything to Saul,

and the next to die will be you.

And what do you expect to happen then?

When the king finds out What did you lie to him about about the Anointed One?

If you tell the truth,

It will be the last thing you will say in your life.

I don't owe you anything.

Eliab, we must talk.

I know what you did.

What they ordered you.

So,

you also know that there is nothing to talk about.

Enjoy your wedding.

- It's a pleasure to greet you. - Blessings.

Ishbosheth.

Congratulations on the special day of your sister.

Thanks, Adriel.

Although, to be honest, This union does not benefit you.

Why not?

David is just another obstacle between you and the throne.

Being the king is not my destiny, but from my brother.

Oh really?

Please, Ishbosheth.

I know how a man like you thinks.

I see you as you are.

What do you see?

Ambition, determination,

all the qualities of a king.

I wish someone would help you to eliminate those obstacles.

I don't drink wine anymore.

Trust me, you'll want to do it. when I tell you this.

I have a secret.

I know the truth.

David is not who he says he is.

Come.

Father, I want to tell you a story

about an outcast from a nearby tribe,

a bastard in his family,

a disgrace to his people,

a curse for his father.

This outcast joined your house,

He consoled you with his music,

he married your daughter and he never told you the truth:

that the prophet Samuel went to his home

and therefore his curse passed to you.

All this time, he was the cause of the torment

that was supposed to alleviate.

He has deceived us.

You killed the wrong son of Judah.

Think about it, father. He killed the giant.

God has favored him in every battle,

as he did with you.

The traitor you are looking for has been in your house

all this time, right in front of you.

The Anointed...

...it's David.

Dina, what important matter did you want to talk to me?

What's happening?

I don't know who to trust in the palace.

What are you taking about?

Today in the forest, I saw a man with an eye patch.

He was the one who killed my father.

How do you know?

- Because I followed him. - That?

Ishbosheth, met with Doeg.

I told you I didn't trust him.

No.

What if those who attacked us Weren't they bandits?

What if they planned it?

- Someone in the palace is a... - Dina.

A conspiracy?

- Who? - Let's tell the king.

No, my father He hasn't been well lately.

Anything would upset him.

And I wouldn't believe Doeg without proof.

I have proof.

Take.

Read it.

The Philistines did not burn the silos,

and there will be more attacks.

Leave it to me...

Leave it to me. Don't tell anyone.

Ishbosheth, they murdered my father.

Dina, stop it.

Because?

I won't leave this like this. Can't.

That?

What's happening?

- I didn't expect this. - What thing?

Fall in love with you.

Ishbosheth.

Forgive me.

Because?

No!

Don't make noise, sister.

You must not make noise.

You understand?

Isb, you killed her.

It's not that simple.

- There are things you don't know. - Isbosheth,

you murdered your wife. You murdered Dina.

Calm down, I need you to calm down.

Ishbosheth, I don't know who you are.

I don't know anything.

I must look for mother.

I must go. I must...

Stop!

Just for a moment.

You wanted to know what happened to me, right?

I'll tell you.

Merab, my life is over.

The life I knew ended.

And from among the weak and pathetic remains...

...I woke up with a purpose

and I will do whatever it takes to fulfill it.

The silos.

Did you burn them?

Yes.

You had mother crown you.

You destroyed his marriage.

You pressured me to marry David.

Because?

Ishbosheth, for what?

So that we all have a better future.

You lost your mind.

- You lost... - No.

No, I finally found her.

We all know that father

- is weak and corrupt. - You hurt me.

His kingdom is falling with him, and if we don't act,

If I don't do anything...

...we will lose everything.

You saw what happened to mother.

I don't want it to happen to you

nor Michal.

Leave her alone.

I will build something new and much better.

But...

...no one should know what you saw today.

You understand?

Are you threatening me?

Merab...

...Dina found out something bigger than her.

I had no choice.

But you are my sister.

The other half of my soul.

Only you suffered when they banished me.

You are my only ally in this family.

And, now more than ever, I need you...

...at my side.

It's the only way.

Yeah?

My wife.

My love.

How did this happen?

A guard found her.

heard a scream near the west gates.

Sorry, Ishbosheth.

This was no accident.

It was an attack by our enemy.

Why would anyone want to kill Dina?

As a threat?

If they kill a princess

- inside the palace... - And leave without being seen?

Kill her without witnesses?

No.

It was someone in the palace.

Nobody here did it.

Dina told me things.

I pretended to be strong,

but the death of his father It affected him more than evident.

He often talked about taking his own life.

He never told me.

I was afraid

that neither you nor anyone loved her

if he was weak.

I'm so sorry, brother.

More than you could imagine.

My love.

Sorry, prince, the king wants to see you.

He wants you to play.

Now?

Do you feel bad?

I'm sure it will be fine.

Abner, what's bothering you?

Many things worry the king. I'm sure seeing you will calm him down.

It's you, right?

My king.

I loved you,

I trusted you,

and yet you betrayed me.

My king, I am loyal to you.

That's how it's always been.

"Loyal".

Oh really?

Stop lying to me. Tell the truth.

Did Samuel choose you?

- My king, sit down... - Did he choose you?

Did he do it?

- Did Samuel choose you? - No.

No.

God chose me.
