PREVIOUSLY ON
"DAVID, KING OF ISRAEL..."
2
00:00:26,027 --> 00:00:29,397
In the name of the Lord, my God!
3
00:00:29,497 --> 00:00:31,532
The Philistine
fortress has fallen.
4
00:00:31,534 --> 00:00:32,869
Thanks be to God.
5
00:00:32,968 --> 00:00:34,736
You live in my house.
6
00:00:34,737 --> 00:00:36,439
You eat from my table.
7
00:00:36,539 --> 00:00:38,206
You bed my daughter!
8
00:00:38,207 --> 00:00:39,607
What have I done to grieve you?
9
00:00:39,608 --> 00:00:42,377
I sent you not for victory,
but to die!
10
00:00:42,846 --> 00:00:44,214
No, Father! No!
11
00:00:44,314 --> 00:00:46,616
If you don�t escape tonight,
you�ll be dead by morning.
12
00:00:46,716 --> 00:00:49,152
- Do not forget about me.
- I will not.
13
00:01:03,067 --> 00:01:05,369
Sleep.
14
00:01:06,104 --> 00:01:09,507
Silence! Enough!
15
00:01:24,791 --> 00:01:28,094
Hi, I�m Zachary Levi
and welcome back to our story.
16
00:01:29,430 --> 00:01:32,099
David, the famed giant-killer,
defender of Israel,
17
00:01:32,199 --> 00:01:34,667
chosen by God
as the future king,
18
00:01:34,668 --> 00:01:36,302
is now an outlaw.
19
00:01:36,303 --> 00:01:37,704
There�s a price on his head,
20
00:01:37,805 --> 00:01:40,541
put there by his own
father-in-law, King Saul.
21
00:01:41,142 --> 00:01:42,210
Shattered and abandoned,
22
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:45,380
he hides from Saul
in the caves of Adullam,
23
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,116
about 13 miles
west of Bethlehem.
24
00:01:48,850 --> 00:01:49,951
King Saul wants to kill David
25
00:01:50,051 --> 00:01:52,921
so that he cannot be
a threat to the house of Saul.
26
00:01:53,022 --> 00:01:54,991
But for Christians,
David�s struggle in the cave
27
00:01:55,091 --> 00:01:57,126
takes on a much larger meaning.
28
00:01:57,660 --> 00:01:58,827
When David becomes king,
29
00:01:58,828 --> 00:02:00,695
his line
will be prophesied to extend
30
00:02:00,696 --> 00:02:03,865
all the way to the future
Messiah, Christ the Lord.
31
00:02:03,867 --> 00:02:06,702
So here in the cave,
32
00:02:06,703 --> 00:02:09,338
even the demonic forces
want David dead.
33
00:02:09,339 --> 00:02:11,874
This is not only a war
of flesh and blood,
34
00:02:11,875 --> 00:02:16,279
it�s a battle for David�s soul
and the future Messiah.
35
00:02:44,844 --> 00:02:46,646
Awake my soul.
36
00:02:47,447 --> 00:02:49,449
I cry aloud to the Lord.
37
00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:52,486
I lift up my voice
to the Lord for mercy.
38
00:02:54,889 --> 00:02:57,024
I have no refuge...
39
00:02:58,893 --> 00:03:01,062
no one cares for my life.
40
00:03:03,865 --> 00:03:05,900
I cry to you, O Lord.
41
00:03:06,001 --> 00:03:11,306
You are my refuge, my champion
in the land of the living.
42
00:03:12,375 --> 00:03:18,047
Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need.
43
00:03:19,782 --> 00:03:22,351
Rescue me
from those who pursue me,
44
00:03:22,453 --> 00:03:24,956
for they are too strong for me.
45
00:03:27,524 --> 00:03:30,027
Set me free from my prison,
46
00:03:31,361 --> 00:03:33,597
that I may praise your name.
47
00:03:35,567 --> 00:03:38,070
In the Psalms, David exposes us
48
00:03:38,169 --> 00:03:40,804
to what is in his very soul,
49
00:03:40,805 --> 00:03:42,106
in his heart.
50
00:03:42,107 --> 00:03:44,476
God is with him when he succeeds
51
00:03:44,576 --> 00:03:47,212
and God is with him
when he fails.
52
00:03:47,313 --> 00:03:49,614
God is with him at every momen.
53
00:03:49,615 --> 00:03:51,117
Psalms give us a model
54
00:03:51,217 --> 00:03:54,187
of how to relate to God
at every moment in our life.
55
00:03:54,286 --> 00:03:57,956
God wants to hear from us
when we are delirious with joy.
56
00:03:57,958 --> 00:04:00,661
God wants to hear from us when
we are overcome with sorrow.
57
00:04:00,761 --> 00:04:03,929
And God seeks
to be part of our lives
58
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:05,765
at every one of those moments.
59
00:04:12,907 --> 00:04:16,210
Then the righteous
will gather about me.
60
00:04:27,790 --> 00:04:30,024
DAVID HOLDS ON
TO THE PROMISE OF GOD
61
00:04:30,025 --> 00:04:32,461
THAT HE WILL
ONE DAY BE KING OF ISRAEL.
62
00:04:32,562 --> 00:04:36,800
BUT ONCE AGAIN SUBMITS TO GOD N
HOW AND WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN.
63
00:04:39,002 --> 00:04:41,505
JUST AS DAVID
IS FAITHFUL TO THE LORD,
64
00:04:41,604 --> 00:04:44,607
SO IS THE LORD
FAITHFUL TO DAVID.
65
00:05:21,682 --> 00:05:24,884
KING SAUL HAS NOT ONLY
PUT A DEATH SENTENCE ON DAVID,
66
00:05:24,885 --> 00:05:26,719
BUT ON HIS ENTIRE FAMILY.
67
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,822
ALONG WITH JESSE AND HIS SONS,
68
00:05:28,923 --> 00:05:30,725
OTHER OUTCASTS
HAVE JOINED THE JOURNEY
69
00:05:30,825 --> 00:05:33,027
TO FIND THE OUTLAW DAVID.
70
00:05:38,733 --> 00:05:42,370
EVERY MAN IN DISTRESS,
EVERY MAN WITH A CREDITOR,
71
00:05:43,305 --> 00:05:45,007
AND EVERY MAN
EMBITTERED IN SPIRIT,
72
00:05:45,107 --> 00:05:48,310
GATHERED TO DAVID
AND HE BECAME THEIR LEADER.
73
00:05:51,347 --> 00:05:53,216
Who are the people
that would willingly
74
00:05:53,316 --> 00:05:55,318
choose to associate with David?
75
00:05:55,418 --> 00:05:57,353
When he is on the run.
76
00:05:57,454 --> 00:05:59,723
When he is
the number one outlaw.
77
00:05:59,823 --> 00:06:01,124
Who�s going
to associate with him?
78
00:06:01,224 --> 00:06:02,559
People who have nothing to los.
79
00:06:02,659 --> 00:06:05,028
People who,
they themselves, are outlaws.
80
00:06:05,129 --> 00:06:06,664
They themselves have no home.
81
00:06:06,764 --> 00:06:09,133
They themselves
have no sense of connection
82
00:06:09,233 --> 00:06:10,701
to the greater society.
83
00:06:10,801 --> 00:06:14,738
David, essentially,
is bringing in the broken,
84
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:18,410
the homeless,
the unloved, the unwanted.
85
00:06:19,678 --> 00:06:22,214
Because David, in many ways,
is all those things himself.
86
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:35,093
THEY BRING WITH THEM
NEWS FROM PRINCE JONATHAN.
87
00:06:35,094 --> 00:06:38,030
NEWS THAT KING SAUL
HAS GIVEN DAVID�S WIFE,
88
00:06:38,132 --> 00:06:41,936
PRINCESS MICHAL, TO ANOTHER MA.
89
00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:47,273
DAVID HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF HIS
TITLE AS THE KING�S SON-IN-LAW,
90
00:06:47,274 --> 00:06:50,277
MAKING HIS BANISHMENT FINAL.
91
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,549
I am sorry, my son.
92
00:06:55,650 --> 00:06:56,985
Truly, I am.
93
00:07:09,665 --> 00:07:14,203
YET, AS KING SAUL�S
PARANOID DELUSIONS INTENSIFY...
94
00:07:15,105 --> 00:07:17,674
FAR AWAY
IN THE SHADOWS OF THE CAVE,
95
00:07:17,774 --> 00:07:20,744
DAVID PRAYS TO THE LORD
FOR STRENGTH.
96
00:07:22,179 --> 00:07:26,483
David�s in the caves of Adulla.
97
00:07:27,685 --> 00:07:32,222
I mean, the passage that talks
about him in those caves
98
00:07:32,223 --> 00:07:34,458
is just one of deep searching
99
00:07:34,459 --> 00:07:37,327
and trying to find
the resolve to carry on.
100
00:07:37,329 --> 00:07:40,132
That�s what takes place
in the dark night of the soul.
101
00:07:40,232 --> 00:07:43,535
Not everyone comes out
of those caves like he did.
102
00:07:47,073 --> 00:07:51,210
WORD REACHES KING SAUL
THAT MEN ARE RALLYING TO DAVID.
103
00:07:51,211 --> 00:07:53,780
SAUL FEARS THAT
IN THE DARKNESS OF THE CAVES,
104
00:07:54,614 --> 00:07:57,050
AN INSURRECTION
IS BEING PLANNED.
105
00:08:04,725 --> 00:08:07,094
Listen, men of Benjamin!
106
00:08:09,564 --> 00:08:11,565
Has that son of Jesse
107
00:08:11,566 --> 00:08:15,203
promised every one of you
fields and vineyards?
108
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:18,974
Has he promised
to make you all generals
109
00:08:19,074 --> 00:08:21,009
and captains in his army?
110
00:08:26,416 --> 00:08:30,052
Is that why you...
you conspired against me?
111
00:08:30,053 --> 00:08:34,357
For not one of you
told me when my own son
112
00:08:34,458 --> 00:08:37,394
made a solemn pact
with the son of Jesse.
113
00:08:40,397 --> 00:08:42,666
You�re not even sorry for me.
114
00:08:44,602 --> 00:08:46,403
Think of it!
115
00:08:46,404 --> 00:08:48,907
My own son...
116
00:08:49,641 --> 00:08:51,409
encouraging David to kill me,
117
00:08:52,277 --> 00:08:53,945
as he�s trying to do
this very day!
118
00:08:59,952 --> 00:09:01,520
My king!
119
00:09:06,625 --> 00:09:08,127
My king.
120
00:09:09,129 --> 00:09:11,031
I saw David
at the Holy Village of Nob.
121
00:09:12,232 --> 00:09:15,736
The High Priest Ahimelech
consulted the Lord for him.
122
00:09:16,436 --> 00:09:18,371
Then he gave him food
123
00:09:18,473 --> 00:09:20,642
and the sword of Goliath,
the Philistine.
124
00:09:27,448 --> 00:09:29,149
Bring me Ahimelech.
125
00:09:29,150 --> 00:09:31,619
- Yes, my king.
- Bring them all!
126
00:09:32,287 --> 00:09:33,922
All the priests of Nob.
127
00:09:58,082 --> 00:10:00,651
Saul�s mad rage
is about to explode
128
00:10:00,751 --> 00:10:02,653
with horrific consequences.
129
00:10:03,821 --> 00:10:05,989
And yet David�s faith
in the Lord is unflinching.
130
00:10:05,991 --> 00:10:10,662
From this cave, his humble
prayer is captured in Psalm 57.
131
00:10:11,596 --> 00:10:14,566
Have mercy on me, O God.
Have mercy on me,
132
00:10:14,666 --> 00:10:17,535
for in You my soul takes refuge.
133
00:10:17,537 --> 00:10:19,839
I will take refuge
in the shadow of Your wings
134
00:10:19,939 --> 00:10:21,941
until the disaster has passed.
135
00:10:22,808 --> 00:10:24,676
But the disaster has not passed,
136
00:10:24,677 --> 00:10:27,480
either for David
or for the priests of Nob.
137
00:10:28,348 --> 00:10:29,983
Quite the contrary.
138
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,576
Father! Father!
139
00:11:14,031 --> 00:11:17,601
GENERAL ABNER INFORMS AHIMELECH
THAT SAUL DEMANDS THAT HE
140
00:11:17,602 --> 00:11:20,772
AND ALL THE PRIESTS OF NOB
APPEAR BEFORE THE KING.
141
00:11:25,944 --> 00:11:27,679
WORD OF THIS REACHES DAVID
142
00:11:27,779 --> 00:11:30,948
AND HE KNOWS THAT HIS OWN
FAMILY IS NOW IN MORTAL DANGER.
143
00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:32,951
We can�t stay here.
144
00:11:34,953 --> 00:11:36,555
It isn�t safe.
145
00:11:38,558 --> 00:11:39,959
Come with me.
146
00:11:41,127 --> 00:11:43,329
DAVID IS ABLE TO BROKER A DEAL
WITH THE KING OF MOAB
147
00:11:43,429 --> 00:11:45,297
FOR HIS FAMILY
TO TAKE REFUGE THERE
148
00:11:45,298 --> 00:11:46,866
UNTIL THE DANGER HAS PASSED.
149
00:11:47,701 --> 00:11:49,302
OF THE REMAINING REFUGEES,
150
00:11:49,303 --> 00:11:51,872
THOSE WHO WANT TO STAY
WITH DAVID IN THE CAVES
151
00:11:51,972 --> 00:11:54,141
MUST LEARN TO SURVIVE, HUNT,
152
00:11:54,241 --> 00:11:56,710
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
DEFEND THEMSELVES.
153
00:11:58,980 --> 00:12:01,816
SAUL WOULD STOP AT NOTHING
TO FIND AND KILL DAVID
154
00:12:01,916 --> 00:12:04,352
AND ALL OF THOSE
WHO SIDE WITH HIM.
155
00:12:15,331 --> 00:12:19,669
Why have you and the son of
Jesse conspired against me?
156
00:12:23,607 --> 00:12:25,675
Why did you give him food
157
00:12:25,676 --> 00:12:27,545
and a sword?
158
00:12:28,612 --> 00:12:31,482
Why have you
consulted God for him?
159
00:12:32,449 --> 00:12:33,951
Why have you
encouraged him to kill me,
160
00:12:34,052 --> 00:12:36,922
as he is trying to do
this very day?
161
00:12:37,021 --> 00:12:39,023
But sir,
162
00:12:39,123 --> 00:12:43,928
is anyone among all your
servants as faithful as David,
163
00:12:44,028 --> 00:12:45,997
your son-in-law?
164
00:12:47,366 --> 00:12:50,201
Why, he�s captain
of your bodyguard
165
00:12:50,202 --> 00:12:52,705
and an honored
member of your household!
166
00:12:53,972 --> 00:12:57,409
Certainly not the first time
I have consulted God for him?
167
00:13:05,819 --> 00:13:09,823
May the king
not accuse me and my family
168
00:13:09,924 --> 00:13:12,193
in this matter,
169
00:13:13,394 --> 00:13:17,064
for we had no idea
of a plot against you.
170
00:13:28,877 --> 00:13:31,313
Kneel before your King.
171
00:13:35,418 --> 00:13:37,720
We shall not kneel.
172
00:13:44,094 --> 00:13:47,930
You will surely die, Ahimelech,
you and all of your kind.
173
00:13:47,931 --> 00:13:51,401
King Saul?!
What do you speak of?
174
00:13:57,242 --> 00:13:58,944
Kill them all.
175
00:14:05,418 --> 00:14:06,886
You heard me!
176
00:14:06,986 --> 00:14:08,888
Do as commanded.
You and your men.
177
00:14:10,423 --> 00:14:11,958
My king?
178
00:14:13,426 --> 00:14:15,794
You want us to strike
down the Priests of the Lord?
179
00:14:15,795 --> 00:14:18,464
Yes. Of course!
180
00:14:18,565 --> 00:14:22,635
They are all allies
and conspirators with David!
181
00:14:22,636 --> 00:14:24,371
They knew he was
running away from me,
182
00:14:24,471 --> 00:14:26,239
but they didn�t tell me!
183
00:14:27,274 --> 00:14:28,509
My king...
184
00:14:29,977 --> 00:14:32,847
I will not raise a hand
against the Lord�s priests.
185
00:14:32,947 --> 00:14:35,483
Nor will any of my men.
186
00:14:41,156 --> 00:14:43,492
You betray your King!
187
00:14:50,766 --> 00:14:56,972
Saul has killed his thousands
and David his tens of thousand.
188
00:15:15,093 --> 00:15:19,563
WHILE SAUL RAGES AGAINST THE
PRIEST OF NOB, WORD REACHES SAL
189
00:15:19,564 --> 00:15:22,100
THAT THE PHILISTINES
ARE ONCE AGAIN ON THE MOVE.
190
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,770
ISRAEL�S ENEMY IS ABOUT TO
INVADE, AT A TIME SAUL�S ARMIES
191
00:15:25,872 --> 00:15:28,675
ARE WEAK
AND UNPREPARED FOR BATTLE.
192
00:15:40,754 --> 00:15:44,757
ANTICIPATING HIS FATE,
AHIMELECH REMOVES THE EPHOD
193
00:15:44,758 --> 00:15:47,928
USED BY ALL HIGH PRIESTS
SINCE THE TIME OF AARON
194
00:15:48,028 --> 00:15:49,897
TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD,
195
00:15:49,998 --> 00:15:53,368
AND GIVES IT
TO HIS SON ABIATHAR.
196
00:16:02,978 --> 00:16:04,713
Commander...
197
00:16:08,050 --> 00:16:09,752
Kill these men.
198
00:16:10,486 --> 00:16:12,121
My king...
199
00:16:12,222 --> 00:16:16,093
Our enemies are gathering
to invade. We need to prepare.
200
00:16:16,192 --> 00:16:20,195
Enough of this talk of...
killing priests.
201
00:16:20,196 --> 00:16:22,431
I am surrounded by cowards!
202
00:16:22,432 --> 00:16:25,168
Are there none here
who will obey my orders?
203
00:16:25,903 --> 00:16:28,439
Or do you all side with David?
204
00:16:32,743 --> 00:16:34,645
You!
205
00:16:35,581 --> 00:16:37,283
Here. You do it.
206
00:16:38,417 --> 00:16:40,853
Strike down the priests!
207
00:16:40,953 --> 00:16:43,255
You and your men
will be greatly rewarded.
208
00:17:02,109 --> 00:17:05,412
Serve the one
who serves the Lord.
209
00:17:07,314 --> 00:17:08,949
Run!
210
00:17:13,455 --> 00:17:16,091
The Lord God shall judge you!
211
00:17:23,466 --> 00:17:25,134
My king.
212
00:17:53,264 --> 00:17:57,068
AS DEMONIC WHISPERS
MIX WITH THE SOUNDS OF DEATH,
213
00:17:57,169 --> 00:18:00,973
THE KING OF ISRAEL HAS INVITED
HELL INTO HIS THRONE ROOM.
214
00:18:04,209 --> 00:18:07,079
IN ORDER TO FINALIZE
SAUL�S EVIL EDICT,
215
00:18:07,180 --> 00:18:08,982
DOEG THE EDOMITE AND HIS MEN
216
00:18:09,082 --> 00:18:11,217
RETURN TO
THE HOLY VILLAGE OF NOB.
217
00:18:11,317 --> 00:18:16,389
AND ON KING SAUL�S ORDERS THEY
KILL EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHIL.
218
00:18:17,457 --> 00:18:21,394
THEY KILL INFANTS,
CATTLE, DONKEYS AND SHEEP.
219
00:18:24,265 --> 00:18:26,232
The wiping out
of the priests of Nob
220
00:18:26,233 --> 00:18:28,569
is one of the darkest
episodes in the Bible.
221
00:18:29,871 --> 00:18:32,774
Of all the crimes that Saul
commits, it�s by far the worst.
222
00:18:33,942 --> 00:18:37,945
And it only-- again,
it shows the extent of where,
223
00:18:37,946 --> 00:18:40,615
when someone thinks
that they know better than God,
224
00:18:40,717 --> 00:18:42,751
which is the genesis
of Saul�s problem,
225
00:18:42,752 --> 00:18:45,722
we see the places
that it can lead one to.
226
00:18:46,723 --> 00:18:49,092
The atrocious thing,
the horrific thing is
227
00:18:49,192 --> 00:18:53,762
those insecurities lead to
the assassination of godly men
228
00:18:53,764 --> 00:18:56,667
and the whole family line.
Only one escapes.
229
00:18:56,767 --> 00:18:58,735
It is a terrible thing.
230
00:18:58,736 --> 00:19:01,405
They acted in good conscience
231
00:19:01,505 --> 00:19:04,675
and doing the right thing,
232
00:19:04,776 --> 00:19:07,646
and Saul misinterpreted.
233
00:19:07,746 --> 00:19:09,780
He was being led by fear,
234
00:19:09,781 --> 00:19:12,282
not by truth, not by principle.
235
00:19:12,283 --> 00:19:16,921
By fear, and when fear
guides us, lives get destroyed.
236
00:19:17,957 --> 00:19:20,425
AFTER FINDING THEIR WAY
TO DAVID, THE THREE...
237
00:19:20,426 --> 00:19:22,094
DAVID�S MOST ELITE WARRIORS,
238
00:19:22,194 --> 00:19:24,129
REPORT THAT WHILE SAUL
OBSESSED OVER DAVID,
239
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:26,466
AND WAS THREATENING
THE PRIESTS OF NOB,
240
00:19:26,566 --> 00:19:30,836
THE PHILISTINES HAD LAID SIEGE
TO THE ISRAELITE CITY OF KEILA.
241
00:19:30,837 --> 00:19:33,973
THE CITY IS THE MAIN
FOOD SUPPLIER OF THE REGION .
242
00:19:34,074 --> 00:19:36,710
THOUSANDS OF ISRAELITES
ARE AT RISK OF STARVATION
243
00:19:36,810 --> 00:19:39,279
IF ACTION ISN�T TAKEN SOON.
244
00:19:40,581 --> 00:19:43,316
WHAT�S MORE, DAVID AND
THE THREE SOON COME TO LEARN
245
00:19:43,317 --> 00:19:45,386
THAT SAUL HAD
GONE THROUGH WITH HIS THREATS,
246
00:19:45,486 --> 00:19:49,290
WHEN THEY ARE JOINED BY THE ONY
SURVIVOR OF THE PRIESTS OF NOB,
247
00:19:49,390 --> 00:19:52,760
THE HIGH PRIEST�S SON, ABIATHA.
248
00:20:05,842 --> 00:20:07,110
David!
249
00:20:19,256 --> 00:20:22,025
The king has killed my father...
250
00:20:24,062 --> 00:20:25,964
and all of our kind.
251
00:20:28,834 --> 00:20:32,805
I am the last
of our clan of priests.
252
00:20:39,679 --> 00:20:43,216
I knew on that day that
Doeg the Edomite was there...
253
00:20:44,650 --> 00:20:47,786
and that he would
certainly inform Saul.
254
00:20:49,890 --> 00:20:53,727
I am responsible for the death
of your father�s whole family.
255
00:20:56,797 --> 00:20:58,532
Forgive me.
256
00:21:00,401 --> 00:21:03,070
The man who is seeking your life
257
00:21:03,071 --> 00:21:05,006
is also seeking mine.
258
00:21:09,677 --> 00:21:11,712
You will be safe with me...
259
00:21:13,215 --> 00:21:14,583
I swear it.
260
00:21:17,486 --> 00:21:20,789
DAVID ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE MASSACRE OF THE PRIESTS
261
00:21:20,890 --> 00:21:22,692
AND ASKS FOR FORGIVENESS.
262
00:21:23,727 --> 00:21:25,229
DAVID IS QUICK TO DISPLAY
A LEADERSHIP TRAIT
263
00:21:25,328 --> 00:21:27,963
THAT HAS LONG BEEN LACKING
IN THE HOUSE OF SAUL...
264
00:21:27,964 --> 00:21:29,466
HUMILITY.
265
00:21:29,566 --> 00:21:32,669
THIS FURTHER ENDEARS THE THREE
AND THE OUTLAWS TO DAVID.
266
00:21:33,738 --> 00:21:36,107
THIS FUTURE KING CAN BE TRUSTE.
267
00:21:43,614 --> 00:21:47,651
As David�s in the cave,
Abiathar comes to him.
268
00:21:47,753 --> 00:21:51,722
He�s the last of
all these priests who...
269
00:21:51,723 --> 00:21:53,925
who were slaughtered.
270
00:21:55,260 --> 00:21:59,163
And David commits to him
and makes him his priest,
271
00:21:59,165 --> 00:22:02,535
his high priest, if you will,
for the rest of his days.
272
00:22:02,635 --> 00:22:04,636
There was a commitment.
273
00:22:04,637 --> 00:22:06,471
And there was a unity there.
274
00:22:06,472 --> 00:22:09,408
And there was also a recognitin
275
00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:13,314
that this position
in his group was important.
276
00:22:14,315 --> 00:22:16,784
You think about it,
he needed soldiers...
277
00:22:16,884 --> 00:22:19,253
and he�s saying,
this is my priest.
278
00:22:21,556 --> 00:22:23,624
You have cast your lot with mine
279
00:22:23,625 --> 00:22:25,927
in hopes of finding
a better life.
280
00:22:28,663 --> 00:22:32,567
I cannot say I am the one
to lead you to that better life.
281
00:22:33,502 --> 00:22:35,471
Look where you find me?
282
00:22:36,505 --> 00:22:39,208
Hiding in a hole
like a lost and frightened lamb
283
00:22:39,308 --> 00:22:42,478
waiting for the lion
to have his way.
284
00:22:43,580 --> 00:22:46,483
Is that the same fate
you wish upon yourselves?
285
00:22:53,691 --> 00:22:57,228
For those of you who think
I plan to lead an insurrection
286
00:22:57,328 --> 00:22:59,529
against King Saul...
287
00:22:59,530 --> 00:23:01,632
know now that will never happen.
288
00:23:03,935 --> 00:23:07,338
No matter if he pursues me
to the ends of the earth
289
00:23:07,439 --> 00:23:11,510
I will not harm
God�s anointed King of Israel.
290
00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:20,053
God will be his judge...
291
00:23:21,054 --> 00:23:22,889
Not I.
292
00:23:31,732 --> 00:23:36,102
Should you choose to stay with
me, you will take that same vow.
293
00:23:36,103 --> 00:23:37,972
So...
294
00:23:40,075 --> 00:23:42,244
if you won�t fight your enemy,
295
00:23:43,211 --> 00:23:45,380
what is your plan?
296
00:23:46,348 --> 00:23:51,887
Hide in your hole
until the lion pounces?
297
00:23:52,889 --> 00:23:54,657
I did not say
I will not fight the enemy.
298
00:23:55,691 --> 00:23:58,928
I said I will not fight
God�s anointed king.
299
00:24:14,112 --> 00:24:18,283
I took an oath to defend
Israel from her enemies.
300
00:24:20,218 --> 00:24:22,220
I plan on keeping that vow.
301
00:24:23,755 --> 00:24:28,159
Should you choose to stay with
me you will take that same vow.
302
00:25:03,065 --> 00:25:05,467
You�re going to lead
this bunch into battle?
303
00:25:07,503 --> 00:25:09,605
If the Lord commands.
304
00:25:36,635 --> 00:25:38,869
THE LORD CONFIRMS
THAT DAVID SHOULD LEAD
305
00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:42,006
HIS BAND OF RAG TAG OUTLAWS
TO ATTACK THE PHILISTINES,
306
00:25:42,107 --> 00:25:44,676
WHO HAD CAPTURED
THE ISRAELITE CITY OF KEILAH.
307
00:25:45,778 --> 00:25:47,513
ALTHOUGH MANY
ARE NOT TRAINED WARRIORS,
308
00:25:47,613 --> 00:25:50,216
THE MEN ARE EMBOLDENED
BY THE WORD OF THE LORD
309
00:25:50,316 --> 00:25:53,553
AND BY THE BRAVERY
OF DAVID AND THE THREE.
310
00:25:54,253 --> 00:25:55,221
DAVID�S ARMY FIGHTS FIERCELY
311
00:25:55,321 --> 00:25:57,890
AND DOES WHAT KING SAUL
HAD FAILED TO DO.
312
00:25:57,991 --> 00:26:01,161
THEY FIGHT TO FREE THE PEOPLE
OF ISRAEL FROM THEIR ENEMY.
313
00:26:03,397 --> 00:26:07,433
GOD GIVES A MIRACULOUS VICTORY
TO DAVID AND HIS RENEGADE ARMY.
314
00:26:07,434 --> 00:26:09,303
THE PHILISTINES ARE OVERCOME
315
00:26:09,404 --> 00:26:13,041
AND THE CITY OF KEILAH
IS RETURNED TO HER PEOPLE.
316
00:26:14,042 --> 00:26:17,077
The job of a lion
is to defend the pack.
317
00:26:17,078 --> 00:26:20,315
David, the descendant of Judah,
318
00:26:20,416 --> 00:26:22,283
will be a great leader
319
00:26:22,284 --> 00:26:26,187
because he feels as we see from
the very beginning of the story
320
00:26:26,188 --> 00:26:28,323
in the stand against Goliath
321
00:26:28,424 --> 00:26:33,462
a covenantal responsibility
for the entire people.
322
00:26:34,598 --> 00:26:37,466
He�s not just the leader
of the pack, if you will,
323
00:26:37,467 --> 00:26:40,737
he is the defender of the pack.
324
00:26:42,072 --> 00:26:46,942
That�s why Judah, and ultimately
the monarchy of Judah,
325
00:26:46,944 --> 00:26:48,913
is compared to a lion.
326
00:26:50,548 --> 00:26:53,283
WORD OF THE MIGHTY DEEDS OF
DAVID THE WARLORD
327
00:26:53,284 --> 00:26:55,586
SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE KINGDOM.
328
00:26:56,722 --> 00:27:00,793
He had a Special Forces
that was a core of his army.
329
00:27:00,892 --> 00:27:03,461
In places in scripture,
it will recount
330
00:27:03,462 --> 00:27:05,563
the great feats of these people
331
00:27:05,564 --> 00:27:08,132
and it�s amazing, the kinds
of things that they did.
332
00:27:08,134 --> 00:27:11,503
And so, he starts with three
and he ends up in his life
333
00:27:11,504 --> 00:27:13,805
with the Special Force
of thirty or more.
334
00:27:13,806 --> 00:27:17,743
All powerful,
committed warriors.
335
00:27:20,281 --> 00:27:23,351
WHEN KING SAUL HEARS OF DAVID�S
VICTORY OVER THE PHILISTINES,
336
00:27:23,450 --> 00:27:25,786
HE QUICKLY MOBILIZES AN ARMY.
337
00:27:25,886 --> 00:27:27,553
AN ARMY NOT TO AID DAVID
338
00:27:27,554 --> 00:27:30,456
WITH THE LIBERATION
AND REBUILDING OF KEILAH,
339
00:27:30,458 --> 00:27:34,362
BUT AN ARMY TO CAPTURE AND KILL
DAVID AND HIS REBEL ARMY.
340
00:27:36,665 --> 00:27:38,133
They are near!
341
00:27:38,233 --> 00:27:40,902
Just on the other side of
the canyon. Thousands of them!
342
00:27:41,804 --> 00:27:43,272
Our men are too tired
to keep running.
343
00:27:43,372 --> 00:27:45,808
And definitely too
tired to fight that number.
344
00:28:22,047 --> 00:28:24,917
Wait here.
I need to relieve myself.
345
00:28:25,017 --> 00:28:26,519
Guards!
346
00:28:27,153 --> 00:28:28,655
- Let me alone!
- Go.
347
00:28:30,223 --> 00:28:32,125
- My king.
- I said leave me!
348
00:28:54,649 --> 00:28:56,151
The Lord
has answered your prayers
349
00:28:56,251 --> 00:28:57,753
and given your enemy
over to you.
350
00:28:57,853 --> 00:29:00,155
This is a very good thing.
351
00:29:00,255 --> 00:29:01,623
David�s followers,
they�re egging him on.
352
00:29:01,724 --> 00:29:04,926
They�re, like, go get him! This
is the moment God has given you.
353
00:29:04,927 --> 00:29:06,428
We�ve all been waiting
for this moment.
354
00:29:06,429 --> 00:29:09,432
Here it is. Go kill Saul.
355
00:29:11,367 --> 00:29:13,536
David, what do you want to do?
356
00:30:12,134 --> 00:30:13,402
And the people, they�re upset.
357
00:30:13,502 --> 00:30:15,037
They�re, like,
we�re living on the run.
358
00:30:15,137 --> 00:30:17,106
And they viewed this
as a golden opportunity.
359
00:30:17,206 --> 00:30:20,842
And David tells him no.
That�s just not how we do it.
360
00:30:20,844 --> 00:30:23,011
Right? That�s not how
I�m going to become king.
361
00:30:23,012 --> 00:30:25,748
That is--
We will not have a hand
362
00:30:25,849 --> 00:30:28,650
in taking out
the king of Israel.
363
00:30:28,651 --> 00:30:30,552
The anointed of God.
364
00:30:30,553 --> 00:30:32,555
My lord! My king!
365
00:30:35,726 --> 00:30:38,562
Is that your voice,
David, my son?
366
00:30:39,530 --> 00:30:43,901
Look, Father,
at what I have in my hand.
367
00:30:44,002 --> 00:30:46,605
It is a piece
of the hem of your robe!
368
00:30:46,705 --> 00:30:49,441
I cut it off,
but I didn�t kill you.
369
00:30:50,442 --> 00:30:52,911
This proves that
I am not trying to harm you.
370
00:30:53,011 --> 00:30:54,512
I have not wronged you,
371
00:30:54,513 --> 00:30:57,850
and yet you are
hunting me down to take my life!
372
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,556
May the Lord judge
which one of us is right
373
00:31:04,557 --> 00:31:06,192
and punish the guilty one.
374
00:31:07,461 --> 00:31:11,198
He is my advocate, and He will
rescue me from your power.
375
00:31:15,102 --> 00:31:16,971
My son, David.
376
00:31:18,907 --> 00:31:21,743
You are a better man than I am,
377
00:31:22,610 --> 00:31:25,413
for you have
repaid me good for evil.
378
00:31:26,481 --> 00:31:27,849
Indeed, you have been
very kind to me today,
379
00:31:27,949 --> 00:31:29,751
for when the Lord
put me in a place
380
00:31:29,852 --> 00:31:32,555
where you could have
killed me, you didn�t do it.
381
00:31:35,257 --> 00:31:37,926
Who else would have
let his enemy get away
382
00:31:37,927 --> 00:31:39,629
when he had him in his power?
383
00:31:40,596 --> 00:31:42,096
May the Lord reward you well
384
00:31:42,098 --> 00:31:44,601
for the kindness
you have shown me today.
385
00:31:46,803 --> 00:31:49,104
The complexity
and tragedy of Saul
386
00:31:49,105 --> 00:31:52,175
lies in the split
at the center of his soul.
387
00:31:53,511 --> 00:31:55,812
On the one hand,
he tries to kill David,
388
00:31:55,813 --> 00:31:59,984
on the other hand, when David
confronts him in the desert,
389
00:32:00,084 --> 00:32:03,653
he weeps and pronounces
his love for David.
390
00:32:03,654 --> 00:32:05,923
Which one is it?
Does he want to murder David,
391
00:32:06,024 --> 00:32:09,961
or does he love David? Both.
392
00:32:14,766 --> 00:32:17,369
And now I realize...
393
00:32:18,271 --> 00:32:20,940
that you will surely be king.
394
00:32:23,843 --> 00:32:27,313
And that the kingdom of Israel
will flourish under your rule.
395
00:32:31,151 --> 00:32:34,287
Swear to me now by the Lord
that when that day comes
396
00:32:34,388 --> 00:32:36,990
you will not kill my family
397
00:32:36,991 --> 00:32:39,961
and destroy
my line of descendants.
398
00:32:49,237 --> 00:32:52,540
I give you my oath, my king,
399
00:32:52,642 --> 00:32:54,744
that I will forever honor
400
00:32:54,844 --> 00:32:57,880
and bring no harm
to the House of Saul.
401
00:33:02,152 --> 00:33:03,654
Good.
402
00:33:05,822 --> 00:33:08,325
Good, my son. Then this...
403
00:33:09,793 --> 00:33:11,862
Then this matter is settled.
404
00:33:17,702 --> 00:33:19,703
Picture that type of pressure
in that situation,
405
00:33:19,704 --> 00:33:20,872
where you�re on the run.
406
00:33:20,972 --> 00:33:23,907
And you�re all
a bunch of tough guy warriors,
407
00:33:23,908 --> 00:33:26,677
and Saul�s trying to kill him,
and we�re hiding from him,
408
00:33:26,679 --> 00:33:29,180
and then, oh my gosh,
we�re here. Victory�s at hand,
409
00:33:29,181 --> 00:33:31,417
and David�s like, no,
we�re not going to do that.
410
00:33:31,517 --> 00:33:35,521
David�s leadership comes through
big time. With these guys.
411
00:33:35,621 --> 00:33:38,756
Especially if you picture
the type of people they are.
412
00:33:38,758 --> 00:33:42,061
And David is--
David molds them...
413
00:33:42,896 --> 00:33:45,432
into righteous men.
414
00:33:45,532 --> 00:33:47,334
They didn�t start out
as righteous men.
415
00:33:47,435 --> 00:33:49,869
But he molds them
into his people.
416
00:33:49,870 --> 00:33:51,939
And they become the leadership.
417
00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:53,507
They become the people around
David,
418
00:33:53,607 --> 00:33:55,576
his trusted advisors
and his military leaders
419
00:33:55,676 --> 00:33:57,478
that we see
later on in his kingship.
420
00:33:57,578 --> 00:33:59,713
They all come out of that grou.
421
00:34:02,651 --> 00:34:06,088
A broken and weary King Saul
leaves David in the desert
422
00:34:06,188 --> 00:34:09,692
and leads his men back home
to his capital city of Gibeah.
423
00:34:10,993 --> 00:34:13,229
David has learned not to trust
the promise of the volatile king
424
00:34:13,329 --> 00:34:15,898
so he remains in the wilderness
with his warriors.
425
00:34:17,166 --> 00:34:19,969
Back in the town of Ramah,
the prophet Samuel,
426
00:34:20,069 --> 00:34:22,738
who anointed David
as the future king,
427
00:34:22,740 --> 00:34:24,508
is dying.
428
00:34:37,021 --> 00:34:40,124
One of the most important
verses in the book of Samuel,
429
00:34:40,225 --> 00:34:41,625
about Samuel,
430
00:34:41,626 --> 00:34:45,296
is the description of how
he spent his time as leader.
431
00:34:45,397 --> 00:34:47,132
He would make a circuit
432
00:34:47,133 --> 00:34:50,603
going all the way around
the Holy Land.
433
00:34:50,703 --> 00:34:53,004
Every year
was living for others,
434
00:34:53,005 --> 00:34:55,708
every year was fostering unity.
435
00:34:56,710 --> 00:34:59,413
Samuel�s greatest gift
was restoring unity.
436
00:35:12,326 --> 00:35:16,463
ISRAEL�S LAST AND GREATEST
JUDGE, THE RIGHTEOUS SAMUEL,
437
00:35:16,464 --> 00:35:20,034
WHO SERVED GOD
WITHOUT QUESTION, IS GONE.
438
00:35:20,135 --> 00:35:22,871
ALL OF ISRAEL MOURNS THE LOSS.
439
00:35:25,274 --> 00:35:30,278
DAVID, MEANWHILE, LEADS HIS MEN
DEEP INTO THE DESERT OF MAON.
440
00:35:30,279 --> 00:35:33,415
HE MUST LEARN TO SURVIVE
AND PROVIDE FOR HIS MEN.
441
00:35:33,516 --> 00:35:35,184
IN RETURN FOR PAYMENT,
442
00:35:35,185 --> 00:35:37,054
THEY PROVIDE PROTECTION
FOR THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL,
443
00:35:37,153 --> 00:35:40,356
WHO LIVE IN THESE REMOTE
AND DANGEROUS PLACES.
444
00:35:40,456 --> 00:35:45,161
PROTECTION FROM BANDITS, FOREIN
ENEMIES AND EVEN WILD ANIMALS.
445
00:35:47,598 --> 00:35:50,200
ONE OF THOSE UNDER DAVID�S
PROTECTION IS NABAL,
446
00:35:50,201 --> 00:35:54,204
A HARSH BARON WHO RULES OVER
HIS VAST PROPERTIES AND SLAVES
447
00:35:54,206 --> 00:35:56,141
WITH ARROGANCE AND CRUELTY.
448
00:35:57,309 --> 00:36:00,878
HIS VERY NAME, "NABAL,"
MEANS "PIGGISH," OR, "FOOLISH."
449
00:36:00,879 --> 00:36:02,547
HE IS BOTH.
450
00:36:05,685 --> 00:36:08,621
Hurry it up, you lazy asses!
451
00:36:08,721 --> 00:36:12,925
My merchants lose patience
while you piss away the day!
452
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,295
Must I do everything myself?!
453
00:36:18,332 --> 00:36:22,503
Wine! Fetch me
more wine, you daft half-wit!
454
00:36:26,373 --> 00:36:30,410
Come now, husband.
Such behavior is beneath you.
455
00:36:31,412 --> 00:36:33,114
Carmi, go to the well
and get cleaned up.
456
00:36:33,214 --> 00:36:35,383
I will get the master�s wine.
457
00:36:36,551 --> 00:36:38,720
Your servant girl
is thick in the head!
458
00:36:40,122 --> 00:36:41,657
You must show strength
459
00:36:41,757 --> 00:36:43,959
or they�ll turn on you
like a caged beast!
460
00:36:45,127 --> 00:36:46,795
I�ve warned you of this before.
461
00:36:46,896 --> 00:36:49,132
You�d do well
to listen to me, wife!
462
00:36:49,698 --> 00:36:51,366
Of course, Nabal.
463
00:36:52,335 --> 00:36:54,571
- And bring a carafe!
- Of course, husband.
464
00:37:13,958 --> 00:37:15,626
We come to you
on behalf of David.
465
00:37:17,129 --> 00:37:20,164
He says long life and
shalom to you, your family,
466
00:37:20,165 --> 00:37:22,067
and everything you own.
467
00:37:24,403 --> 00:37:26,438
David heard that
it�s sheep shearing time.
468
00:37:27,407 --> 00:37:29,007
In the spirit
of this celebration,
469
00:37:29,008 --> 00:37:33,379
and for all the protection we
provided you and your property,
470
00:37:33,479 --> 00:37:34,980
would you please share,
471
00:37:34,981 --> 00:37:38,451
what you can,
with us and your friend David?
472
00:37:47,628 --> 00:37:50,131
Who is this, David?
473
00:37:52,801 --> 00:37:55,404
Another servant
on the run from his master?!
474
00:37:58,039 --> 00:38:02,477
Why must I take my bread,
my water, my meat...
475
00:38:02,578 --> 00:38:06,949
and give it to a band of outlaws
on the run from who knows where?
476
00:38:10,419 --> 00:38:16,325
Now, take your vagrants
and get off my land!
477
00:38:25,670 --> 00:38:29,007
We will report back to David
exactly what you have said.
478
00:38:56,736 --> 00:38:58,871
I hear we had visitors?
479
00:39:00,007 --> 00:39:02,543
Beggars sent
from that outcast, David.
480
00:39:03,711 --> 00:39:05,545
- And what did you say to them?
- Enough questions!
481
00:39:05,546 --> 00:39:07,548
This is no business of a wife!
482
00:39:08,549 --> 00:39:09,650
Quit your jabbering
and leave me in peace!
483
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:14,589
One of the remarkable things
about the biblical story
484
00:39:14,689 --> 00:39:17,425
is that the voice of women
are frequently heard.
485
00:39:17,426 --> 00:39:21,463
It�s almost nowhere else found
in ancient literature,
486
00:39:21,564 --> 00:39:25,234
and one of the voices
that we hear is that of Abigail.
487
00:39:25,868 --> 00:39:27,870
She�s an amazing woman.
488
00:39:29,105 --> 00:39:30,673
Get the donkey.
489
00:39:30,773 --> 00:39:32,307
No!
490
00:39:32,309 --> 00:39:35,778
Go the back way. Do not let
the master see you. Be quick.
491
00:39:35,779 --> 00:39:38,982
She�s very wise, and she
understands that her husband
492
00:39:39,083 --> 00:39:40,851
is making a foolish decision.
493
00:39:41,919 --> 00:39:45,423
David lost it. He became angry.
494
00:39:46,691 --> 00:39:50,294
He felt like his rightful
response was not given to him
495
00:39:50,295 --> 00:39:53,163
and the normal self-control
496
00:39:53,164 --> 00:39:56,834
that we�ve seen him display
on several occasions
497
00:39:56,936 --> 00:39:58,604
was not there.
498
00:39:58,704 --> 00:39:59,705
Ah!
499
00:40:01,173 --> 00:40:04,309
After all that we�ve done for
him this is how we�re repaid?
500
00:40:04,877 --> 00:40:06,144
Get your weapons!
501
00:40:06,145 --> 00:40:08,613
By morning,
there will not be one male alive
502
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:11,718
that belongs to
this fat and repulsive man!
503
00:40:45,588 --> 00:40:48,223
AS DAVID AND HIS MEN
APPROACH THE HOUSE OF NABAL
504
00:40:48,224 --> 00:40:49,592
WITH LETHAL INTENT,
505
00:40:50,293 --> 00:40:51,661
ABIGAIL AND HER SERVANT GIRL
506
00:40:51,761 --> 00:40:53,663
ARE THE ONLY ONES
STANDING IN THE WAY
507
00:40:53,764 --> 00:40:55,299
OF DAVID�S WRATH AND SWORD.
508
00:41:20,626 --> 00:41:24,630
It�s all my fault, my lord,
all my fault!
509
00:41:25,364 --> 00:41:28,467
Please, let your servant speak
510
00:41:28,569 --> 00:41:30,404
and listen to what
I have to say.
511
00:41:33,540 --> 00:41:37,711
I know Nabal is
a wicked and ill-tempered man.
512
00:41:38,713 --> 00:41:41,548
Please, don�t pay
any attention to him.
513
00:41:41,549 --> 00:41:44,986
He is a fool,
just as his name suggests.
514
00:41:46,554 --> 00:41:49,424
I didn�t see the men you sent...
515
00:41:53,729 --> 00:41:56,765
but, please, take this gift
of food that I�ve brought
516
00:41:56,865 --> 00:41:58,900
and share it with your men.
517
00:42:01,071 --> 00:42:03,240
Please, forgive me
if I say a little more.
518
00:42:06,142 --> 00:42:11,381
The Lord will always
protect you and your dynasty,
519
00:42:12,583 --> 00:42:14,585
because you fight for Him.
520
00:42:15,620 --> 00:42:17,922
I pray that you
won�t do anything evil
521
00:42:18,022 --> 00:42:19,757
as long as you live.
522
00:42:20,825 --> 00:42:23,227
The Lord your God
will keep you safe
523
00:42:23,327 --> 00:42:25,362
when your enemies
try to kill you,
524
00:42:25,464 --> 00:42:28,634
their lives will disappear
like stones from a sling!
525
00:42:30,135 --> 00:42:33,471
When the Lord
has done all He has promised
526
00:42:33,472 --> 00:42:37,343
and has made you
leader of Israel,
527
00:42:38,278 --> 00:42:42,115
don�t let this
be an obstacle to you,
528
00:42:43,449 --> 00:42:47,086
and your conscience won�t have
to bear the staggering burden of
529
00:42:47,187 --> 00:42:51,124
needless bloodshed
and vengeance.
530
00:42:51,225 --> 00:42:55,495
Do not lose
the blessing of the Lord
531
00:42:55,496 --> 00:42:58,833
over the death
of my foolish husband
532
00:42:59,968 --> 00:43:01,470
Please.
533
00:43:02,804 --> 00:43:05,740
Abigail, she has the confidenc.
And also, the sense of purpose.
534
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,309
Just like David had.
Just like Jonathan had.
535
00:43:08,310 --> 00:43:10,345
She understood in that moment,
536
00:43:10,446 --> 00:43:12,781
that God was calling her
to do something
537
00:43:12,782 --> 00:43:15,383
that would ultimately ensure
538
00:43:15,384 --> 00:43:17,987
that David becomes the person
who he was meant to become.
539
00:43:18,087 --> 00:43:19,956
In this briefly recorded story
in the Bible,
540
00:43:20,056 --> 00:43:23,159
in the life of David, perhaps,
were among the most significant.
541
00:43:24,027 --> 00:43:27,831
Thank God for your good sense.
542
00:43:28,965 --> 00:43:31,200
May you be blessed
for your good judgment
543
00:43:31,201 --> 00:43:34,304
and for keeping me
from bloodshed on this day
544
00:43:34,405 --> 00:43:37,875
and from avenging myself
with my own hands.
545
00:43:37,975 --> 00:43:39,777
If you had not
hurried out to meet me,
546
00:43:39,877 --> 00:43:43,013
not one of Nabal�s men would
still be alive tomorrow morning.
547
00:43:45,551 --> 00:43:49,055
Go home in peace.
I have heard you.
548
00:43:51,390 --> 00:43:53,559
I will not kill your husband.
549
00:43:56,896 --> 00:43:58,431
My lord!
550
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,902
Yes?
551
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:07,707
Remember me.
552
00:44:10,177 --> 00:44:12,346
And what is the name
I�m to remember?
553
00:44:12,913 --> 00:44:14,548
My name is Abigail.
554
00:44:15,316 --> 00:44:17,618
Abigail... I will remember you.
555
00:44:41,377 --> 00:44:44,646
THE NEXT MORNING ABIGAIL
INFORMS THE NOW SOBER NABAL
556
00:44:44,648 --> 00:44:47,083
THAT SHE TALKED DAVID
OUT OF KILLING HIM
557
00:44:47,084 --> 00:44:49,787
AND DESTROYING
THE HOUSE OF NABAL.
558
00:44:50,954 --> 00:44:53,557
You are a fool, Nabal.
And you almost got us killed!
559
00:44:55,226 --> 00:44:57,729
Do you hear me, Nabal?
You almost got us killed!
560
00:45:10,776 --> 00:45:12,477
From the eighteenth psalm,
561
00:45:12,478 --> 00:45:13,778
to the faithful,
562
00:45:13,779 --> 00:45:15,781
you show yourself faithful.
563
00:45:15,881 --> 00:45:16,949
To the blameless,
564
00:45:17,050 --> 00:45:18,818
you show yourself blameless.
565
00:45:18,819 --> 00:45:22,521
To the pure,
you show yourself pure.
566
00:45:22,522 --> 00:45:25,525
But to the crooked,
you show yourself shrewd.
567
00:45:25,625 --> 00:45:26,993
You save the humble,
568
00:45:27,093 --> 00:45:29,963
but bring low those
whose eyes are haughty.
569
00:45:30,965 --> 00:45:33,301
Word reaches David
that Nabal is dead.
570
00:45:33,401 --> 00:45:36,803
David immediately sends his men
to Abigail with a message
571
00:45:36,804 --> 00:45:39,006
and a question.
572
00:45:40,175 --> 00:45:42,811
THE MESSAGE IS THAT DAVID
DID NOT FORGET HIS PROMISE
573
00:45:42,911 --> 00:45:44,880
TO REMEMBER ABIGAIL.
574
00:45:44,980 --> 00:45:48,350
AND THE QUESTION IS,
WILL YOU BE MY WIFE?
575
00:46:01,965 --> 00:46:05,702
THE COURAGEOUS DAVID AND ABIGAL
ARE MARRIED BEFORE THE LORD,
576
00:46:05,803 --> 00:46:09,807
FORMING A POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP
IN THE LEADING OF THEIR PEOPLE.
577
00:46:23,688 --> 00:46:27,191
In Abigail, David has found
a wise and courageous partner.
578
00:46:27,193 --> 00:46:28,560
Important qualities,
579
00:46:28,561 --> 00:46:31,431
as King Saul�s
pursuit of David is relentless.
580
00:46:31,531 --> 00:46:33,299
He must now find
a place of safety
581
00:46:33,399 --> 00:46:35,434
for his ever-expanding army.
582
00:46:35,535 --> 00:46:38,370
A place where David and his men
can be with their wives
583
00:46:38,372 --> 00:46:39,673
and start families.
584
00:46:54,789 --> 00:46:56,356
IN DESPERATION,
585
00:46:56,357 --> 00:46:58,759
DAVID DECIDES TO OFFER
HIS SWORD AND ARMY
586
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,596
TO THE PHILISTINE ENEMY,
KING ACHISH.
587
00:47:09,905 --> 00:47:13,608
DAVID ASKS IF IN EXCHANGE
FOR HIS MERCENARY ARMY,
588
00:47:13,610 --> 00:47:16,078
THE PHILISTINE KING WOULD
GIVE REFUGE FOR THE FAMILIES
589
00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:17,781
OF DAVID�S MEN.
590
00:47:23,387 --> 00:47:25,923
It seems that David�s
not only gambling with his life
591
00:47:26,023 --> 00:47:28,425
as he had done before
at these very gates,
592
00:47:28,426 --> 00:47:31,461
he now appears to be gambling
with the lives of his new bride,
593
00:47:31,462 --> 00:47:34,332
his men and their families.
594
00:47:34,433 --> 00:47:36,634
But David
does not see it that way.
595
00:47:36,635 --> 00:47:38,837
For him,
this is an act of faith,
596
00:47:38,937 --> 00:47:40,304
believing that once again,
597
00:47:40,305 --> 00:47:43,275
if he steps out in boldness,
God will be faithful,
598
00:47:43,375 --> 00:47:46,143
and God�s name
will be made great.
599
00:47:46,145 --> 00:47:48,113
Join me next time
for another episode
600
00:47:48,114 --> 00:47:50,650
of "David, King of Israel."
601
00:47:55,021 --> 00:47:56,422
UP NEXT...
602
00:48:01,662 --> 00:48:03,130
A messenger from the king!
603
00:48:04,198 --> 00:48:06,333
Tell King Achish his loyal
champion is on his way.
604
00:48:07,701 --> 00:48:09,303
You cannot fight our own people.
605
00:48:09,404 --> 00:48:11,172
Fight Jonathan?
606
00:48:16,678 --> 00:48:18,713
Finally, I get to see you fight.
607
00:48:21,984 --> 00:48:24,720
The battle belongs to the Lord!
608
00:48:25,521 --> 00:48:27,356
There is a witch in Endor.
609
00:48:29,358 --> 00:48:31,727
Tell me, Witch. What do you see?
610
00:48:34,164 --> 00:48:36,999
You have
condemned yourself to death!
611
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:47,143
I am counted among those
who go down to the pit.
612
