1
00:00:13,209 --> 00:00:15,708
Previously on
"david, king of israel..."

2
00:00:15,813 --> 00:00:20,114
The lord has torn the kingdom
of israel from you today

3
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:23,554
And given it to
someone else better than you.

4
00:00:32,385 --> 00:00:34,451
I defy the ranks of israel.

5
00:00:34,555 --> 00:00:37,622
Give me a man
and let us fight each other!

6
00:00:37,728 --> 00:00:41,428
The whole world will know
that there is a god in israel!

7
00:01:08,023 --> 00:01:12,591
David is tens of thousands...

8
00:01:12,697 --> 00:01:14,696
My king?

9
00:01:15,368 --> 00:01:16,467
What more can he get?

10
00:01:18,206 --> 00:01:20,939
King saul, you have
nothing to fear from me!

11
00:01:21,044 --> 00:01:22,577
Please, tell me how to help you?

12
00:01:22,714 --> 00:01:28,616
Saul has killed his thousands
and david his tens of thousand.

13
00:01:36,348 --> 00:01:37,580
My king!

14
00:01:38,184 --> 00:01:39,483
What more can he get...

15
00:01:39,587 --> 00:01:41,086
But the kingdom!

16
00:02:01,234 --> 00:02:02,833
To quote king lear,

17
00:02:02,903 --> 00:02:06,103
"o, that way madness lies..."

18
00:02:06,209 --> 00:02:09,376
And there is no doubt
king saul is going mad.

19
00:02:09,481 --> 00:02:13,115
I'm zachary levi, and welcome
back to "david, king of israel."

20
00:02:14,356 --> 00:02:16,589
In just a few short years,
david, the young giant-killer,

21
00:02:16,694 --> 00:02:19,293
Has become a hero
to the people of israel.

22
00:02:19,398 --> 00:02:21,264
Following his
victory over goliath,

23
00:02:21,435 --> 00:02:23,768
King saul granted
david command over 1000 men,

24
00:02:23,872 --> 00:02:26,738
And david led
the troops in their campaigns.

25
00:02:26,843 --> 00:02:28,276
The lord is with him,

26
00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:31,224
And david has great success
in everything that he does.

27
00:02:31,329 --> 00:02:32,995
As his fame grows,

28
00:02:33,099 --> 00:02:35,365
God's spirit departs from saul.

29
00:02:35,469 --> 00:02:38,202
The king, consumed
with jealousy and fear,

30
00:02:38,307 --> 00:02:40,139
Plots against david.

31
00:02:50,294 --> 00:02:53,094
Saul was a really great man
at the beginning of his career

32
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:54,798
And he really did the job

33
00:02:54,902 --> 00:02:56,334
Of bringing the people together

34
00:02:56,437 --> 00:02:58,103
And leading them to victory

35
00:02:58,207 --> 00:02:59,617
And showing strength.

36
00:02:59,721 --> 00:03:02,454
And that itself, you know,
made him a very important leader

37
00:03:02,559 --> 00:03:05,125
And a very
noble leader at the time.

38
00:03:05,230 --> 00:03:07,229
His fatal flaw, of course,

39
00:03:07,234 --> 00:03:11,334
Was that he had faith
in god, he believed in god...

40
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,173
God is not
on his lips all the time,

41
00:03:13,277 --> 00:03:15,876
And he thinks he knows better.

42
00:03:16,883 --> 00:03:21,451
Saul becomes
a mixture of light and dark.

43
00:03:22,426 --> 00:03:24,392
He is, on the one hand, someone

44
00:03:24,496 --> 00:03:27,229
Whose fears fester.

45
00:03:27,334 --> 00:03:29,811
Whose envy gets
the better of him.

46
00:03:30,650 --> 00:03:32,983
But there is a part of saul

47
00:03:33,088 --> 00:03:34,554
That still loves david.

48
00:03:34,658 --> 00:03:37,657
The complexity
and tragedy of saul

49
00:03:37,695 --> 00:03:40,829
Lies in the split
at the center of his soul.

50
00:03:47,245 --> 00:03:48,977
After david killed goliath,

51
00:03:48,982 --> 00:03:53,249
Saul at first promises him
his eldest daughter, merab,

52
00:03:53,355 --> 00:03:56,721
But she was secretly
engaged to another man.

53
00:03:56,728 --> 00:04:00,506
Then saul learns that his secod
daughter, princess michal,

54
00:04:00,612 --> 00:04:03,245
Has fallen madly
in love with david,

55
00:04:03,383 --> 00:04:07,017
And so, saul
sets a trap for david,

56
00:04:07,123 --> 00:04:09,489
Using michal as the bait.

57
00:04:11,463 --> 00:04:13,262
And now you have
a second opportunity

58
00:04:13,366 --> 00:04:15,365
To become my son-in-law.

59
00:04:15,471 --> 00:04:18,470
It is no small matter
to become the king's son-in-law.

60
00:04:18,575 --> 00:04:21,709
I'm only a poor man, I cannot
afford the dowry of a princess.

61
00:04:21,814 --> 00:04:24,280
My son, I'm not asking
for a dowry of gold

62
00:04:24,385 --> 00:04:27,218
Or livestock
or precious objects.

63
00:04:28,236 --> 00:04:30,936
There's only one price
I require for the bride.

64
00:04:36,483 --> 00:04:40,284
Report to me in
the morning with arms in hand.

65
00:04:40,457 --> 00:04:41,822
I have a mission for you,

66
00:04:42,893 --> 00:04:44,759
To avenge my enemies.

67
00:04:46,033 --> 00:04:48,899
And with victory,

68
00:04:49,004 --> 00:04:51,170
The hand of my daughter,

69
00:04:51,274 --> 00:04:53,307
Princess michal.

70
00:04:56,884 --> 00:04:58,827
Of course... My king.

71
00:04:59,233 --> 00:05:00,898
Good!

72
00:05:00,901 --> 00:05:02,634
I will aid david
and rally his divisions.

73
00:05:02,738 --> 00:05:05,404
No, no! You,
and the division, are to stay.

74
00:05:05,509 --> 00:05:08,676
David and his men
are sufficient.

75
00:05:09,282 --> 00:05:11,115
No more.

76
00:05:12,521 --> 00:05:15,787
Saul sends david on a mission o
attack the fortress of shaaria.

77
00:05:15,893 --> 00:05:18,426
It's a philistine hold-out
on the border of israel,

78
00:05:18,531 --> 00:05:20,631
Where the surviving
enemy has taken shelter

79
00:05:20,735 --> 00:05:23,435
After the battle
of david and goliath.

80
00:05:24,575 --> 00:05:28,053
David is to kill 100
philistines, circumcize them,

81
00:05:28,159 --> 00:05:31,025
And deliver
their foreskins to the king.

82
00:05:36,238 --> 00:05:38,504
It sounds
like a suicide mission.

83
00:05:38,609 --> 00:05:41,476
David and his band
of warriors against a stronghold

84
00:05:41,581 --> 00:05:44,814
Of thousands of
well-armed philistine soldiers.

85
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,186
But david's loyalty
to king saul is fierce.

86
00:05:47,291 --> 00:05:52,025
And even more important,
his faith in god... Absolute.

87
00:05:55,605 --> 00:05:57,949
David leads his men
to the philistine fortress

88
00:05:58,053 --> 00:06:01,219
That rises up on the
far end of the valley of elah,

89
00:06:01,325 --> 00:06:03,491
A garrison occupied by hundreds

90
00:06:03,629 --> 00:06:05,661
Of well-armed
philistine soldiers.

91
00:06:14,448 --> 00:06:16,880
There are times in history

92
00:06:16,984 --> 00:06:19,684
Where a smaller unit

93
00:06:20,657 --> 00:06:25,325
Was able to defeat
a defensive position.

94
00:06:30,986 --> 00:06:34,453
David, he attracted
some of the elite warriors

95
00:06:34,559 --> 00:06:36,425
From saul's circle.

96
00:06:36,529 --> 00:06:39,128
They became
his core of trusted men.

97
00:06:40,202 --> 00:06:42,801
Those three were
the delta force of their time.

98
00:06:43,707 --> 00:06:46,440
They were gifted
from god to do his work.

99
00:06:47,713 --> 00:06:51,581
And once they
were able to get close enough,

100
00:06:51,721 --> 00:06:54,888
They'd use speed and violence.

101
00:06:56,172 --> 00:06:59,039
Speed and violence is the thing
that overwhelms your enemy.

102
00:07:16,139 --> 00:07:18,639
It is god
who arms me with strength

103
00:07:18,744 --> 00:07:21,143
And makes my way perfect.

104
00:07:21,248 --> 00:07:25,015
He makes my feet
like the feet of a deer.

105
00:07:25,934 --> 00:07:28,867
He enables me
to stand on the heights.

106
00:07:29,707 --> 00:07:32,040
He trains my hands for battle.

107
00:07:32,144 --> 00:07:35,677
My arms can bend
a bow of bronze.

108
00:07:35,783 --> 00:07:38,016
You give me
your shield of victory

109
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,853
And your right hand sustains me.

110
00:07:40,691 --> 00:07:44,692
You stoop down to make me great.

111
00:08:08,984 --> 00:08:10,716
Go, go, go!

112
00:08:55,284 --> 00:08:59,584
As they attack, david's faith
in god emboldens the three.

113
00:08:59,757 --> 00:09:01,123
They are unstoppable.

114
00:09:02,195 --> 00:09:04,294
Fear and chaos rip
through the philistine ranks

115
00:09:04,298 --> 00:09:06,965
As they struggle
to gain the upper hand.

116
00:09:47,381 --> 00:09:50,414
There is to be
no mercy on this day of battle.

117
00:09:50,419 --> 00:09:52,786
Victory is given to david.

118
00:09:52,924 --> 00:09:56,469
The fortress falls
to david's sling and sword.

119
00:09:57,310 --> 00:09:59,142
David turns saul's
suicide mission

120
00:09:59,246 --> 00:10:01,879
Into yet another
glorious victory.

121
00:10:04,254 --> 00:10:06,654
In winning the hand
of princess michal,

122
00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:09,392
And becoming the
son-in-law to king saul,

123
00:10:09,496 --> 00:10:12,495
David moves one step
closer to becoming king

124
00:10:12,502 --> 00:10:14,167
And fulfilling god's will.

125
00:10:14,270 --> 00:10:17,537
This strikes fear
into the heart of saul.

126
00:10:17,643 --> 00:10:19,943
Father, david
has brought you a gift.

127
00:10:21,716 --> 00:10:23,482
Thanks be to god.

128
00:10:23,586 --> 00:10:25,864
The philistine
fortress has fallen.

129
00:10:25,969 --> 00:10:29,235
The king had demanded
100 philistine foreskins.

130
00:10:29,374 --> 00:10:33,274
Against all odds,
david presents him with 200.

131
00:10:35,785 --> 00:10:37,284
The stakes
in the troubled relationship

132
00:10:37,388 --> 00:10:40,688
Between david and saul
had been raised even higher.

133
00:11:24,355 --> 00:11:26,354
What is it?

134
00:11:29,363 --> 00:11:31,596
You've been thrown
into this strange game

135
00:11:31,801 --> 00:11:34,000
Between your father and me.

136
00:11:34,706 --> 00:11:36,405
How do you fare?

137
00:11:40,515 --> 00:11:42,314
I'm with my beloved.

138
00:11:43,988 --> 00:11:45,954
Nothing else matters.

139
00:12:45,647 --> 00:12:48,614
While david enjoys married life
under king saul's roof,

140
00:12:48,785 --> 00:12:51,185
The philistines continue
to push at israel's borders

141
00:12:51,289 --> 00:12:54,133
In retaliation
for their humiliating defeats.

142
00:12:54,239 --> 00:12:57,373
Again and again, saul orders
his son-in-law to risk his life

143
00:12:57,478 --> 00:13:00,211
To defend israel,
and david answers that call

144
00:13:00,316 --> 00:13:02,115
Every single time.

145
00:13:12,068 --> 00:13:15,369
David is someone
who had his flaws.

146
00:13:15,475 --> 00:13:16,773
He seems occasionally

147
00:13:16,776 --> 00:13:19,042
To have been a bit impulsive.

148
00:13:19,148 --> 00:13:22,181
But david is a man
of deep, deep faith,

149
00:13:22,286 --> 00:13:24,363
Of deep honesty and humility.

150
00:13:24,467 --> 00:13:26,199
He's not looking
for recognition,

151
00:13:26,303 --> 00:13:28,102
He's not looking for honor.

152
00:13:28,107 --> 00:13:30,506
Honor is thrust upon him.

153
00:13:30,711 --> 00:13:34,011
And I think that's a huge
contrast between him and saul.

154
00:13:36,588 --> 00:13:38,754
David shows

155
00:13:38,858 --> 00:13:40,257
What it means to make god

156
00:13:40,361 --> 00:13:43,861
A part of
every aspect of your life

157
00:13:43,967 --> 00:13:46,667
And to ultimately
eschew arrogance

158
00:13:46,772 --> 00:13:48,604
And see your own achievements

159
00:13:49,142 --> 00:13:51,541
As a gift of god.

160
00:14:01,841 --> 00:14:03,774
David. David, wake up!

161
00:14:03,878 --> 00:14:05,444
He needs you!

162
00:14:06,950 --> 00:14:09,916
He is troubled.
Please, go play for the king.

163
00:14:15,264 --> 00:14:18,531
Do not worry. I will
not rest until he is at peace.

164
00:14:18,636 --> 00:14:20,101
Return to your sleep.

165
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,818
Despite king saul's
obvious hostility

166
00:14:23,989 --> 00:14:25,322
Towards his son-in-law,

167
00:14:25,358 --> 00:14:27,690
David continues to feel
a loyalty to the king,

168
00:14:27,696 --> 00:14:30,195
Who is still
the lord's appointed.

169
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,246
The lyre, we learn
from ancient texts,

170
00:14:40,350 --> 00:14:42,915
Was actually used in exorcisms.

171
00:14:42,921 --> 00:14:44,954
So, when humans
had a despondent spirit,

172
00:14:45,058 --> 00:14:46,390
They were troubled,

173
00:14:46,493 --> 00:14:48,893
The lyre was
the instrument of choice

174
00:14:48,998 --> 00:14:51,697
To try to bring
peace of mind to them.

175
00:15:05,971 --> 00:15:09,904
David has tens of thousands...

176
00:15:10,011 --> 00:15:12,443
There! Did you hear that?

177
00:15:13,417 --> 00:15:15,249
Get prince jonathan
and princess michal.

178
00:15:20,628 --> 00:15:22,605
They do not stop.

179
00:15:24,112 --> 00:15:25,978
They do not leave me!

180
00:15:30,957 --> 00:15:32,622
No! Stop!

181
00:15:34,296 --> 00:15:35,528
Father?

182
00:15:37,301 --> 00:15:38,500
Father.

183
00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:42,137
Father, come.

184
00:15:44,246 --> 00:15:46,978
Please, my king, you need rest.
Let us help you to your bed.

185
00:15:46,984 --> 00:15:49,216
No! This is where I belong.

186
00:15:49,321 --> 00:15:50,519
Here.

187
00:15:50,623 --> 00:15:52,667
Not anywhere else.

188
00:15:58,114 --> 00:16:00,013
His music is no longer working.

189
00:16:01,319 --> 00:16:04,352
He is no longer useful to me.

190
00:16:07,028 --> 00:16:09,028
What do they call him?

191
00:16:11,736 --> 00:16:14,136
"david, the giant-slayer."

192
00:16:15,843 --> 00:16:17,075
"the beloved."

193
00:16:17,981 --> 00:16:20,580
"the defender of israel."

194
00:16:20,684 --> 00:16:23,228
I call him what he really is.

195
00:16:23,233 --> 00:16:27,234
A "traitor"
who lusts for my throne!

196
00:16:28,409 --> 00:16:29,808
Father please, you lack sleep,
you're not yourself.

197
00:16:29,811 --> 00:16:32,044
Of course, I am myself!

198
00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:37,085
I sent you on those
missions not for victory.

199
00:16:37,190 --> 00:16:40,490
Your name would be
elevated above my own.

200
00:16:41,263 --> 00:16:44,197
A shepherd boy above my name,

201
00:16:44,202 --> 00:16:46,468
Me, the king of israel!

202
00:16:46,573 --> 00:16:48,372
My king!

203
00:16:49,176 --> 00:16:50,720
You live in my house.

204
00:16:50,824 --> 00:16:52,056
You eat from my table.

205
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,892
You bed my daughter!

206
00:16:53,895 --> 00:16:56,929
My king? Once again, I ask,
what have I done to grieve you?

207
00:16:57,068 --> 00:16:59,334
It's not what you did,
it's what you didn't do!

208
00:16:59,338 --> 00:17:00,971
I sent you not for victory,

209
00:17:01,075 --> 00:17:02,440
-But to die!
-No!

210
00:17:03,145 --> 00:17:04,443
I'll pin david to the wall!

211
00:17:05,783 --> 00:17:07,582
No, father! Stop! No!

212
00:17:15,198 --> 00:17:16,330
-I'll pin him to the wall!
-Don't!

213
00:17:16,333 --> 00:17:17,699
Father, stop! Please.

214
00:17:24,792 --> 00:17:28,192
Through so many biblical
stories, we see how envy

215
00:17:28,297 --> 00:17:31,597
Destroys relationships
and leads to tragic events.

216
00:17:35,577 --> 00:17:37,376
You saw his eyes.

217
00:17:37,547 --> 00:17:40,713
If you don't escape tonight,
you'll be dead by morning.

218
00:17:42,822 --> 00:17:44,455
Just for a time.

219
00:17:45,460 --> 00:17:47,660
Until he's himself once again.

220
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:50,442
Just for a time.

221
00:17:50,446 --> 00:17:53,513
If he asks tomorrow where you
are, I will tell him you're ill.

222
00:17:53,518 --> 00:17:56,084
David, you must
go far from here.

223
00:17:56,189 --> 00:17:57,822
Princess!

224
00:17:59,094 --> 00:18:01,327
Out the window!
The back way is clear.

225
00:18:01,832 --> 00:18:03,131
Your chevel.

226
00:18:20,207 --> 00:18:22,773
-Do not forget about me.
-I will not.

227
00:18:35,866 --> 00:18:37,498
Princess!

228
00:18:39,205 --> 00:18:40,638
Princess!

229
00:18:40,842 --> 00:18:41,874
What is it!

230
00:18:41,977 --> 00:18:45,044
My husband is ill
and you are disturbing his rest.

231
00:18:45,149 --> 00:18:46,714
I am sorry
to bother you, princess.

232
00:18:46,818 --> 00:18:48,384
The king has summoned david.

233
00:18:48,388 --> 00:18:50,932
You can tell the king
that david is ill.

234
00:18:51,036 --> 00:18:52,502
David!

235
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:55,640
Father, please. Father, please!

236
00:19:24,403 --> 00:19:27,069
How could you betray me...

237
00:19:27,842 --> 00:19:29,642
And help my enemy to escape?

238
00:19:30,247 --> 00:19:31,946
I had to.

239
00:19:33,385 --> 00:19:36,485
He threatened to kill me
if I did not help him.

240
00:19:50,158 --> 00:19:52,958
I think for david, he just kept
asking god for a door.

241
00:19:53,063 --> 00:19:56,496
What is the answer? There's
got to be a step forward.

242
00:19:56,501 --> 00:19:59,802
Just keep helping me
to step in the right direction.

243
00:20:02,211 --> 00:20:03,977
Now a fugitive on the run,

244
00:20:04,081 --> 00:20:06,647
David flees east
to the town of ramah,

245
00:20:06,752 --> 00:20:10,219
To seek counsel and refuge
from the prophet samuel.

246
00:20:36,746 --> 00:20:37,978
David!

247
00:20:45,962 --> 00:20:48,295
The prophet welcomes
the exhausted fugitive

248
00:20:48,300 --> 00:20:49,810
Warmly into his home.

249
00:20:49,913 --> 00:20:51,979
But soon, saul's
informants tell the king

250
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:54,150
That the prophet
has sheltered david

251
00:20:54,287 --> 00:20:57,921
And once again, david must run.

252
00:21:05,340 --> 00:21:09,740
Desperate and alone, david seeks
out prince jonathan for help.

253
00:21:09,846 --> 00:21:12,580
And so the two friends
meet in secret.

254
00:21:12,685 --> 00:21:14,951
Even though david
is now on the run,

255
00:21:15,056 --> 00:21:17,855
The king still expects his
son-in-law to attend the feast

256
00:21:17,961 --> 00:21:19,637
To celebrate the new moon.

257
00:21:19,741 --> 00:21:23,208
But david knows that saul will
have him killed if he shows up.

258
00:21:23,313 --> 00:21:24,912
So david hopes
that the king's own son

259
00:21:25,016 --> 00:21:26,982
Can calm his paranoid father

260
00:21:27,086 --> 00:21:29,619
And convince him
to let david return safely.

261
00:21:35,534 --> 00:21:38,467
Tell me
what I can do to help, brother.

262
00:21:39,340 --> 00:21:40,539
Tomorrow is
the new moon festival.

263
00:21:40,643 --> 00:21:42,843
Once the king sees
that I'm not at the festival,

264
00:21:42,947 --> 00:21:43,912
He will ask for me.

265
00:21:44,015 --> 00:21:46,014
Tell him that
I'm traveling to bethlehem

266
00:21:46,118 --> 00:21:47,984
For our clan's annual sacrifice.

267
00:21:48,066 --> 00:21:50,432
If he openly
lashes out at my absence,

268
00:21:50,904 --> 00:21:52,136
Plead with him.

269
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,906
Attempt to reason with him.

270
00:21:54,010 --> 00:21:55,909
Perhaps before
a host of witnesses,

271
00:21:56,013 --> 00:21:58,713
You can get him to honor
and reinstate his oath

272
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:01,551
That he will
never have me put to death.

273
00:22:03,626 --> 00:22:05,392
It shall be done, brother.

274
00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:07,929
I swear by
the lord, god of israel.

275
00:22:09,602 --> 00:22:11,301
How will I get word from you?

276
00:22:11,405 --> 00:22:12,838
Hide in this field.

277
00:22:15,312 --> 00:22:18,490
If I failed, it's clear that the
king's intentions are lethal.

278
00:22:18,595 --> 00:22:21,128
I shall let fly
three arrows near the field.

279
00:22:21,233 --> 00:22:24,266
That will be the signal that
you must flee with great haste.

280
00:22:24,372 --> 00:22:25,671
You must leave these lands.

281
00:22:25,774 --> 00:22:29,307
There will be nowhere in
israel where you will be safe.

282
00:22:30,215 --> 00:22:32,614
I pray that it
will never come to that.

283
00:22:32,752 --> 00:22:33,751
As do I.

284
00:22:33,855 --> 00:22:35,720
Now go in peace.

285
00:22:35,824 --> 00:22:39,625
For we have sworn loyalty to
each other in the lord's name.

286
00:22:41,099 --> 00:22:44,333
The lord is the witness
to a bond between us

287
00:22:44,439 --> 00:22:46,138
And our family forever.

288
00:22:47,755 --> 00:22:50,755
David's loyalty
to saul was costly,

289
00:22:50,860 --> 00:22:53,126
And true loyalty does that.

290
00:22:53,264 --> 00:22:55,597
You pay a personal price.

291
00:22:55,601 --> 00:22:57,567
When saul turns against him,

292
00:22:57,672 --> 00:23:01,106
David has all
the capacity to take saul out.

293
00:23:01,144 --> 00:23:04,077
He could've led a coupe,
he could've assassinated him.

294
00:23:04,182 --> 00:23:06,782
But instead of challenging saul,

295
00:23:06,887 --> 00:23:08,519
He backs away.

296
00:23:15,235 --> 00:23:18,446
Why hasn't the
son of jesse come to the meal,

297
00:23:18,551 --> 00:23:20,984
Either yesterday or today?

298
00:23:21,089 --> 00:23:23,688
David earnestly asked
to travel to bethlehem

299
00:23:23,793 --> 00:23:25,926
To observe
a sacrifice with his family.

300
00:23:26,698 --> 00:23:27,597
He said that if he found favor,

301
00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:29,465
To let him go
to be with his brothers.

302
00:23:29,470 --> 00:23:31,502
That is why he is not here.

303
00:23:33,076 --> 00:23:35,008
You foolish boy!

304
00:23:35,112 --> 00:23:36,677
Do you think I don't know

305
00:23:36,682 --> 00:23:40,082
You want him
to be king in your place,

306
00:23:40,187 --> 00:23:42,086
Shaming yourself,

307
00:23:42,190 --> 00:23:44,123
And your mother?

308
00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:46,661
As long as
the son of jesse is alive,

309
00:23:46,765 --> 00:23:49,509
You'll never be king!

310
00:23:49,614 --> 00:23:51,280
Now go and get him.

311
00:23:51,818 --> 00:23:53,483
So I can kill him.

312
00:23:53,587 --> 00:23:55,020
Why should he be put to death?

313
00:23:55,124 --> 00:23:56,022
What has he done, father?

314
00:23:56,125 --> 00:23:57,857
I refuse to obey
your orders this time.

315
00:23:57,862 --> 00:23:59,661
You blind and disloyal boy!

316
00:24:00,866 --> 00:24:02,032
My king!

317
00:24:04,706 --> 00:24:06,339
-My king!
-Foolish boy!

318
00:24:06,443 --> 00:24:08,142
Get out! Go!

319
00:24:09,114 --> 00:24:10,947
Obey your king!

320
00:24:11,051 --> 00:24:12,783
Be gone!

321
00:24:18,140 --> 00:24:21,206
Saul's men
mobilize to find david.

322
00:24:22,113 --> 00:24:23,679
All that remains
is jonathan's signal.

323
00:24:23,783 --> 00:24:25,949
A signal indicating
that jonathan has failed

324
00:24:25,953 --> 00:24:28,652
To convince his father
to spare david's life.

325
00:24:28,757 --> 00:24:30,757
A warning that david
must leave his new wife

326
00:24:30,861 --> 00:24:32,893
And flee from
the very king and kingdom

327
00:24:32,998 --> 00:24:34,998
That he risked
everything to defend.

328
00:24:35,502 --> 00:24:37,101
A signal

329
00:24:37,205 --> 00:24:38,704
Of three arrows.

330
00:26:01,347 --> 00:26:02,979
It is in hardship

331
00:26:03,082 --> 00:26:07,383
That our characters are shaped
and formed and strengthened.

332
00:26:07,490 --> 00:26:09,288
Every leader

333
00:26:09,293 --> 00:26:13,060
Who's been shaped
to take on great responsibility

334
00:26:13,166 --> 00:26:15,499
Has to pass
the test of injustice.

335
00:26:15,581 --> 00:26:18,247
David was being
treated unjustly by saul.

336
00:26:18,352 --> 00:26:20,918
And he had to learn
how to respond to that well.

337
00:26:27,201 --> 00:26:30,034
Desperate for food
and a weapon to defend himself,

338
00:26:30,072 --> 00:26:32,739
David journeys
to the holy village of nob,

339
00:26:32,844 --> 00:26:35,176
Home of the high priest
of israel, ahimelech,

340
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,046
And his son, abiathar.

341
00:26:38,185 --> 00:26:39,984
David can only hope
that saul's decree over his lie

342
00:26:40,155 --> 00:26:42,254
Has not yet reached this place,

343
00:26:42,259 --> 00:26:46,070
As he plans to deceive the
priests for his own survival.

344
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,619
At the same moment,

345
00:26:53,723 --> 00:26:56,356
The king's head shepherd, doeg,

346
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:59,460
Who's aware of the royal
pursuit of david, is in nob,

347
00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:02,866
Collecting sheep for
the king's upcoming festival.

348
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,472
He sees david arrive
and recognizes an opportuinity

349
00:27:06,577 --> 00:27:08,810
To find favor with king saul.

350
00:27:09,716 --> 00:27:11,614
Why are you alone?

351
00:27:11,619 --> 00:27:13,852
Why is there no one with you?

352
00:27:14,892 --> 00:27:17,169
The king sent me on a mission

353
00:27:17,273 --> 00:27:19,939
And told me
no one is to know about it.

354
00:27:20,746 --> 00:27:22,745
My men wait for me elsewhere.

355
00:27:25,887 --> 00:27:27,753
Now, what is there to eat?

356
00:27:28,625 --> 00:27:30,458
I'm in need
of some food for my men.

357
00:27:30,562 --> 00:27:33,628
Please, give me five loaves of
bread or anything else you have.

358
00:27:33,768 --> 00:27:36,668
I have no
ordinary bread on hand, however,

359
00:27:36,773 --> 00:27:39,439
There is consecrated bread,

360
00:27:39,544 --> 00:27:42,778
Provided your men have
kept themselves from women.

361
00:27:42,883 --> 00:27:44,382
Don't worry.

362
00:27:44,486 --> 00:27:47,697
I never allow my men to be with
women when we're on campaign.

363
00:27:48,737 --> 00:27:50,136
My son.

364
00:27:52,476 --> 00:27:56,210
Many of the sacrificial foods
are intended to be eaten

365
00:27:56,316 --> 00:27:58,582
Only by the priests
in the tabernacle.

366
00:27:58,687 --> 00:28:00,019
You'd have these loaves of bread

367
00:28:00,122 --> 00:28:02,088
That would be taken
off on the sabbath,

368
00:28:02,192 --> 00:28:04,191
And which could only
be eaten by the priests

369
00:28:04,197 --> 00:28:06,496
Who were in a state
of ritual purity.

370
00:28:06,533 --> 00:28:08,433
The priest asked the questions.

371
00:28:08,537 --> 00:28:10,536
He got the answer
from david about,

372
00:28:10,740 --> 00:28:12,773
You know, we're all clean,
we're all pure.

373
00:28:12,778 --> 00:28:15,022
And he gave david the bread.

374
00:28:29,884 --> 00:28:33,718
From he who brings forth
bread from the earth,

375
00:28:33,724 --> 00:28:36,924
By giving us the gift of wheat.

376
00:28:37,029 --> 00:28:38,361
Amen.

377
00:28:55,471 --> 00:28:57,970
Don't you have
a sword or spear here?

378
00:28:58,075 --> 00:28:59,741
I haven't brought
my sword with me

379
00:28:59,845 --> 00:29:02,244
Because the king's
business was urgent.

380
00:29:03,885 --> 00:29:05,917
The sword of goliath
the philistine,

381
00:29:06,022 --> 00:29:08,989
Whom you slew
in the valley of elah is here.

382
00:29:10,162 --> 00:29:12,629
It's wrapped
in cloth behind the ephod.

383
00:29:13,134 --> 00:29:15,178
If you want it, take it.

384
00:29:15,916 --> 00:29:17,449
We have no other swords here.

385
00:29:18,053 --> 00:29:19,552
There is none like it.

386
00:29:20,424 --> 00:29:22,724
Give it to me.
Please. But first...

387
00:29:22,828 --> 00:29:24,827
Inquire of the lord for me.

388
00:29:25,299 --> 00:29:26,631
Of course.

389
00:29:34,514 --> 00:29:36,179
My son.

390
00:29:48,449 --> 00:29:50,081
As david departs,

391
00:29:50,218 --> 00:29:53,552
He sees that the king's shephed
doeg has recognized him.

392
00:29:53,658 --> 00:29:57,391
Another encounter that
will have tragic consequences.

393
00:30:03,574 --> 00:30:06,274
With nowhere left to go
in the kingdom of israel,

394
00:30:06,412 --> 00:30:09,379
David is forced to seek shelter
in the lands of his enemy,

395
00:30:09,584 --> 00:30:10,849
The philistines,

396
00:30:10,953 --> 00:30:14,998
A drastic contrast from
his life merely days before.

397
00:30:15,839 --> 00:30:17,738
On the one hand,

398
00:30:17,942 --> 00:30:21,276
The only place
where he is safe from saul

399
00:30:21,382 --> 00:30:25,916
Is lodging amongst
the enemies of saul.

400
00:30:38,911 --> 00:30:40,810
On the other hand,

401
00:30:40,847 --> 00:30:42,280
As a warrior of israel,

402
00:30:42,384 --> 00:30:45,295
How can the enemies of
israel not see him as the enem?

403
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,266
So, david needs
to come up with a cover story

404
00:30:48,371 --> 00:30:52,872
That will remove the appearance

405
00:30:52,979 --> 00:30:55,012
Of the threat that he poses

406
00:30:55,116 --> 00:30:57,315
To the king of god.

407
00:30:57,420 --> 00:30:59,953
And here we see
again, david's brilliance.

408
00:31:44,454 --> 00:31:45,653
Where?

409
00:31:46,724 --> 00:31:49,024
It shows his own cunning.

410
00:31:49,129 --> 00:31:52,962
It shows how he's
developing as a strategist.

411
00:31:53,068 --> 00:31:55,234
That he would go
to the very place

412
00:31:55,338 --> 00:31:57,638
Least expected to find him...

413
00:31:57,643 --> 00:32:00,042
The city of goliath, gath.

414
00:32:01,182 --> 00:32:03,982
My attendants
tell me that you're david!

415
00:32:04,888 --> 00:32:07,888
The israelite
who killed our champion.

416
00:32:08,728 --> 00:32:11,060
The one they make
the songs about.

417
00:32:19,357 --> 00:32:20,456
Bah!

418
00:32:21,861 --> 00:32:23,527
Bah!

419
00:32:37,388 --> 00:32:40,254
In the ultimate
of ironies, king aschich,

420
00:32:40,359 --> 00:32:42,970
The very king whose
army was defeated by david,

421
00:32:43,075 --> 00:32:46,708
Dismisses the giant-killer
as a mad man and lets him go.

422
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,987
That's just a genius inspired
thing that he did.

423
00:32:55,094 --> 00:32:57,561
He played the fool.

424
00:32:57,766 --> 00:32:59,231
The insane person.

425
00:32:59,335 --> 00:33:01,501
Because at that time,

426
00:33:01,605 --> 00:33:05,339
It was considered bad luck
to kill somebody like that.

427
00:33:07,415 --> 00:33:09,781
We know that he was not insane

428
00:33:09,886 --> 00:33:13,231
Because in that
situation, he wrote psalm 34.

429
00:33:14,204 --> 00:33:17,404
So, while he's
drooling and acting crazy,

430
00:33:17,510 --> 00:33:21,177
He's showing
that he's really altogether.

431
00:33:22,185 --> 00:33:25,085
It's quite a
remarkable act that he puts on.

432
00:33:25,190 --> 00:33:29,057
This shows his
incredible artistic mastery.

433
00:33:30,431 --> 00:33:32,097
And here's what david wrote...

434
00:33:32,201 --> 00:33:33,833
Psalm 34.

435
00:33:35,039 --> 00:33:37,439
The lord hears his people
when they call him for help.

436
00:33:37,544 --> 00:33:40,477
He rescues them
from all of their troubles.

437
00:33:40,582 --> 00:33:42,959
The lord is close
to the broken-hearted.

438
00:33:43,064 --> 00:33:45,464
He rescues those
whose spirits are crushed.

439
00:33:45,568 --> 00:33:48,334
The righteous person
faces many troubles.

440
00:33:48,439 --> 00:33:51,139
But the lord
comes to rescue each time.

441
00:33:55,150 --> 00:33:56,416
It's only in the psalms

442
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,920
That we really see
the interiority of a person

443
00:34:00,025 --> 00:34:01,457
In ancient literature.

444
00:34:01,561 --> 00:34:03,427
David highlights

445
00:34:03,531 --> 00:34:06,598
The emotional
turbulence of his life.

446
00:34:06,703 --> 00:34:11,515
The psalms expose us to the
full gamut of human experience.

447
00:34:11,623 --> 00:34:15,157
But god is there
for every single part of it.

448
00:34:15,262 --> 00:34:19,562
After david's narrow escape frm
capture from the city of gath,

449
00:34:19,669 --> 00:34:21,902
He heads into the borderlands
to seek refuge

450
00:34:22,007 --> 00:34:26,308
In the caves of adullam
in the wilderness... Alone.

451
00:34:26,414 --> 00:34:29,381
When david goes
to the caves of adullam,

452
00:34:29,486 --> 00:34:32,219
He's going to the borderland
really of the philistines.

453
00:34:32,324 --> 00:34:34,290
So, he's kind of got
the philistines behind him,

454
00:34:34,461 --> 00:34:35,693
Which kind of protects him,

455
00:34:35,797 --> 00:34:38,063
But he's also
in that place that...

456
00:34:38,167 --> 00:34:41,711
You know, in a lot of our
fantasy stories that we see,

457
00:34:41,817 --> 00:34:43,950
There's always
this enchanted woods

458
00:34:44,055 --> 00:34:45,421
That everyone's afraid to go I.

459
00:34:45,524 --> 00:34:47,423
And that's sort of
the caves of adullam.

460
00:35:09,530 --> 00:35:11,307
He's in a dark place.

461
00:35:11,411 --> 00:35:14,845
Not just physically,
but spiritually.

462
00:35:14,951 --> 00:35:16,950
He's in the
dark night of the soul.

463
00:35:17,054 --> 00:35:20,988
And just like jesus, when he's
tempted in the wilderness,

464
00:35:21,095 --> 00:35:22,527
It's a time of testing.

465
00:35:22,630 --> 00:35:25,664
It's a time for him to realize

466
00:35:25,769 --> 00:35:27,901
Whether this is
the end of the road for him.

467
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:32,274
At some point, how real
is god in delivering him?

468
00:35:32,380 --> 00:35:34,512
How committed
can he remain to god?

469
00:36:14,673 --> 00:36:16,873
-Who speaks?
- Sleep.

470
00:36:24,256 --> 00:36:25,722
Show yourself!

471
00:36:31,134 --> 00:36:32,633
Show yourself!

472
00:36:35,809 --> 00:36:38,708
I'll smash your skull
and take your life!

473
00:36:40,996 --> 00:36:42,561
Silence!

474
00:36:43,332 --> 00:36:45,598
Enough! Enough!

475
00:36:45,602 --> 00:36:47,035
Enough!

476
00:37:06,604 --> 00:37:10,282
The god who
saves me day and night,

477
00:37:10,388 --> 00:37:12,321
I cry out before you.

478
00:37:12,426 --> 00:37:15,192
May my prayer come before you.

479
00:37:15,229 --> 00:37:17,763
Turn your ear to my cry.

480
00:37:19,204 --> 00:37:21,170
For my soul

481
00:37:21,274 --> 00:37:22,973
Is full of trouble.

482
00:37:23,077 --> 00:37:26,444
And my life
draws near the grave.

483
00:37:33,126 --> 00:37:36,527
As was often the case
when things seemed bleak,

484
00:37:37,534 --> 00:37:40,412
David would turn
to prayer in that dark cave.

485
00:37:40,517 --> 00:37:42,349
The prayers
that poured from his heart

486
00:37:42,453 --> 00:37:44,586
Are captured
in the book of psalms.

487
00:37:44,690 --> 00:37:47,357
Those same psalms have been
quoted for thousands of years

488
00:37:47,395 --> 00:37:49,294
By others
who were also in anguish,

489
00:37:49,298 --> 00:37:52,531
Also reaching out desperately
to god for deliverance.

490
00:37:53,839 --> 00:37:56,005
The chosen one who was anointed
to one day be king of israel,

491
00:37:56,109 --> 00:37:58,742
Now lies alone
in the mud and in the dark.

492
00:37:59,916 --> 00:38:02,515
Even within the pain and
brokenness he's experiencing,

493
00:38:02,620 --> 00:38:04,686
David submits to god's
providence and plan

494
00:38:04,791 --> 00:38:07,558
For how the prophecy of
his kingship will be fulfilled.

495
00:38:08,263 --> 00:38:09,673
Join me next time

496
00:38:09,777 --> 00:38:12,677
For another episode
of david, king of israel .

497
00:38:18,558 --> 00:38:20,591
In our next episode...

498
00:38:21,597 --> 00:38:23,429
They gathered to him
every man in distress,

499
00:38:23,466 --> 00:38:24,732
Every man with a creditor,

500
00:38:24,869 --> 00:38:26,669
Every man embittered of spirit,

501
00:38:26,773 --> 00:38:28,071
And he became their leader.

502
00:38:28,174 --> 00:38:30,207
You're going to lead
this bunch into battle.

503
00:38:30,311 --> 00:38:32,077
If the lord commands.

504
00:38:32,081 --> 00:38:34,714
My king, I saw david
at the holy village of nob.

505
00:38:34,819 --> 00:38:36,918
Then he gave him food
and the sword of goliath.

506
00:38:37,022 --> 00:38:38,054
You betray your king!

507
00:38:38,158 --> 00:38:39,802
We will not meet.

508
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,372
Our enemies
smell the weakness of our king.

509
00:38:42,476 --> 00:38:44,075
It's time for us
to leave this house.

510
00:38:44,179 --> 00:38:47,212
I will not harm god's
anointed king of israel.

511
00:38:47,318 --> 00:38:49,817
God will be his judge, not I.

512
00:38:50,389 --> 00:38:51,887
Get off my land!

513
00:38:51,892 --> 00:38:53,891
That thick-headed man
is going to get us all killed.

514
00:38:54,095 --> 00:38:56,562
By morning, there will
not be one male alive

515
00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:06,671
That belongs
to this fat and repulsive man!

516
