00:00:13,547 --> 00:00:15,816
PREVIOUSLY ON
"DAVID, KING OF ISRAEL..."

2
00:00:19,052 --> 00:00:20,954
You�re going to lead
this bunch into battle?

3
00:00:21,054 --> 00:00:22,188
If the Lord commands.

4
00:00:23,323 --> 00:00:25,892
My king, I saw David
at the Holy Village of Nob.

5
00:00:25,893 --> 00:00:28,028
Then he gave him food
and the sword of Goliath.

6
00:00:28,128 --> 00:00:30,964
- You betray your king!
- We shall not kneel.

7
00:00:32,733 --> 00:00:35,902
I will not harm
God�s anointed king of Israel.

8
00:00:35,903 --> 00:00:38,672
God will be his judge. Not I.

9
00:00:39,239 --> 00:00:40,740
And get off my land!

10
00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:42,708
That thick-headed man
is going to get us all killed.

11
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:45,378
By morning,
there will not be one male alive

12
00:00:45,379 --> 00:00:47,781
that belongs to
this fat and repulsive man!

13
00:01:08,802 --> 00:01:10,270
These are precarious times

14
00:01:10,370 --> 00:01:12,272
for the kingdom of Israel.

15
00:01:12,372 --> 00:01:13,707
The legendary outlaw David

16
00:01:13,807 --> 00:01:15,441
and his growing renegade army

17
00:01:15,442 --> 00:01:17,611
remained banished by King Saul,

18
00:01:17,711 --> 00:01:19,612
leaving
Israel and its broken king

19
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:21,515
vulnerable to their enemies.

20
00:01:21,615 --> 00:01:23,449
The Philistines
seize the opportunity

21
00:01:23,450 --> 00:01:26,486
and assemble a massive army
for open war to crush Israel

22
00:01:26,587 --> 00:01:28,654
with overwhelming force.

23
00:01:28,655 --> 00:01:29,956
It�s at this point

24
00:01:30,057 --> 00:01:32,091
that Saul�s
mental and spiritual decline

25
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:35,095
takes another drastic turn
toward the demonic.

26
00:01:57,951 --> 00:01:59,453
My king...

27
00:02:00,821 --> 00:02:02,623
What is your command?

28
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,162
Find me a woman who is a medium.

29
00:02:12,099 --> 00:02:15,135
So I may go and inquire of her.

30
00:02:15,869 --> 00:02:17,938
There is a witch in Endor.

31
00:02:18,672 --> 00:02:19,939
My king, the Torah bans mediums.

32
00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:21,775
Take me to her.

33
00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:31,251
DESPERATE AND IN SEARCH
OF ANSWERS, KING SAUL,

34
00:02:31,351 --> 00:02:33,352
TO PRINCE JONATHAN�S DISMAY,

35
00:02:33,353 --> 00:02:35,422
MAKES A HEARTBREAKING DECISION,

36
00:02:35,522 --> 00:02:38,859
CHOOSING TO TURN TO A DARK
SOURCE FOR SPIRITUAL COUNSEL.

37
00:02:51,071 --> 00:02:52,338
By divine law,

38
00:02:52,339 --> 00:02:55,275
mediums and soothsayers
are banned in Israel.

39
00:02:56,143 --> 00:02:57,578
Even King Saul
himself has expelled

40
00:02:57,678 --> 00:02:59,613
these witches from the land.

41
00:02:59,713 --> 00:03:04,051
But some continue to practice
their dark craft in the shadows.

42
00:03:05,218 --> 00:03:08,121
So, in an act of desperation,
Saul disguises himself

43
00:03:08,221 --> 00:03:10,657
and travels to see
the witch of Endor.

44
00:03:15,295 --> 00:03:18,465
Saul knows that it is
wrong to seek the guidance

45
00:03:18,565 --> 00:03:22,836
of this necromancer,
of this soothsayer.

46
00:03:23,503 --> 00:03:25,738
But he can�t help himself.

47
00:03:25,739 --> 00:03:29,209
Because he�s so terrified

48
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:33,180
by the fact that divine guidance
has been withheld from him.

49
00:03:34,181 --> 00:03:35,781
So Saul, when he�s
being rejected by God,

50
00:03:35,782 --> 00:03:38,918
rather than looking inward
and saying, wow, I messed up...

51
00:03:40,187 --> 00:03:42,056
he turns against God.

52
00:03:56,803 --> 00:04:00,005
- What do you want?
- A friend seeks your consult.

53
00:04:00,006 --> 00:04:01,207
He�ll pay you generously.

54
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:10,917
I have to talk
to a man who is dead.

55
00:04:11,818 --> 00:04:13,820
Will you call
up his spirit for me?

56
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,688
Are you trying to get me killed?

57
00:04:15,789 --> 00:04:17,590
You know
that King Sol has outlawed

58
00:04:17,591 --> 00:04:19,458
consulting with
the spirits of the dead.

59
00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:21,227
Why are you
setting a trap for me?

60
00:04:21,328 --> 00:04:22,728
I swear to the Lord,

61
00:04:22,729 --> 00:04:24,965
nothing bad will happen
to you for doing this.

62
00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:49,123
Who do you want me to bring up?

63
00:04:49,756 --> 00:04:51,424
Bring up the prophet...

64
00:04:51,525 --> 00:04:52,860
Samuel.

65
00:05:22,022 --> 00:05:24,992
I summon from
the place of the dead

66
00:05:26,026 --> 00:05:29,329
the spirit
of the prophet Samuel.

67
00:05:43,310 --> 00:05:45,044
Why have you deceived me?

68
00:05:45,045 --> 00:05:46,780
You are King Saul!

69
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,048
Do not be afraid.

70
00:05:51,785 --> 00:05:53,553
You will not be harmed.

71
00:05:54,521 --> 00:05:58,225
Tell me, witch. What do you see?

72
00:05:59,292 --> 00:06:01,694
I see a spirit rising up,
out of the ground!

73
00:06:24,584 --> 00:06:26,052
The prophet of the Lord...

74
00:06:28,255 --> 00:06:29,490
Samuel.

75
00:06:29,589 --> 00:06:32,559
Why have you disturbed
me by calling me back?

76
00:06:32,659 --> 00:06:34,294
Because I am in deep trouble.

77
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:37,397
The Philistines
are at war with me.

78
00:06:38,698 --> 00:06:42,035
God has left me and doesn�t
reply by prophets or dreams.

79
00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:45,137
So, I have called for you
to tell me what to do.

80
00:06:45,138 --> 00:06:46,972
Why ask me,

81
00:06:46,973 --> 00:06:51,110
since the Lord has left you
and has become your enemy?

82
00:06:51,111 --> 00:06:54,146
The Lord has done
just as he said he would.

83
00:06:54,147 --> 00:06:56,416
He has torn
the kingdom from you,

84
00:06:57,550 --> 00:07:00,153
and given it
to your rival, David.

85
00:07:01,454 --> 00:07:03,756
The Lord has
done this to you today

86
00:07:03,857 --> 00:07:06,426
because of your
rebellion against him.

87
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,696
Please, my prophet,

88
00:07:09,796 --> 00:07:11,931
there must be
something I can do?

89
00:07:11,932 --> 00:07:16,468
What�s more, the Lord will
hand you and the army of Israel

90
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:19,372
over to
the Philistines tomorrow,

91
00:07:20,373 --> 00:07:25,445
and you and your sons
will be here with me

92
00:07:26,146 --> 00:07:27,547
in the place of the dead.

93
00:07:28,815 --> 00:07:34,020
The Lord will bring down the
entire army of Israel in defeat.

94
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:37,123
Please...

95
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:40,160
Please, have mercy!

96
00:07:50,003 --> 00:07:53,640
Please, my king.
Let me feed you.

97
00:07:55,775 --> 00:07:58,745
My king, you need your strength.

98
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:06,852
When we see passages like
that of the Witch of Endor,

99
00:08:06,853 --> 00:08:08,655
a lot of people want to
know if it really happened.

100
00:08:08,755 --> 00:08:10,522
But we do know this.

101
00:08:10,523 --> 00:08:12,392
There was a strong belief

102
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:15,528
during this time... in demons.

103
00:08:15,628 --> 00:08:17,529
We see that
through the New Testament.

104
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:19,665
If you believe in
the story of the New Testament,

105
00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:21,033
we know there were demons.

106
00:08:21,034 --> 00:08:22,936
We know there
was a spirit world.

107
00:08:23,036 --> 00:08:27,006
I believe the story is a true
story and actually happened.

108
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:28,841
The reaction
of the witch herself...

109
00:08:28,842 --> 00:08:30,344
because she�s kinda shocked.

110
00:08:30,443 --> 00:08:32,211
You know?
She�s kind of, like, what?

111
00:08:32,212 --> 00:08:35,215
Like, she�s as freaked out
as Saul is, you know?

112
00:08:35,315 --> 00:08:37,850
And that�s interesting
because you would think

113
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:39,786
that she does this all the time.

114
00:08:39,886 --> 00:08:42,254
And it almost reveals the fact

115
00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:44,223
that this wasn�t
a normal witchcraft scene,

116
00:08:44,224 --> 00:08:46,827
that she didn�t expect Samuel.

117
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:49,596
She shrieks when she sees it

118
00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:51,831
because this is
beyond her power.

119
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:54,468
She�s used to
the voices and ventriloquism.

120
00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:58,337
Now this is called up a real
spirit, and it frightens her.

121
00:08:58,471 --> 00:09:00,707
And Samuel says

122
00:09:00,807 --> 00:09:02,174
something very interesting.

123
00:09:02,175 --> 00:09:04,411
He says,
why have you disturbed me?

124
00:09:04,511 --> 00:09:06,947
And the word disturbed there

125
00:09:07,047 --> 00:09:09,550
can be used for grave robbing.

126
00:09:09,649 --> 00:09:13,252
Why have you robbed my grave
by calling me up from the dead?

127
00:09:13,253 --> 00:09:16,588
The message that�s given
to Saul is that the Israelites

128
00:09:16,589 --> 00:09:20,560
will be defeated and he and
his sons will die the next day.

129
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:23,062
And so,
the moral of the story is,

130
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:25,097
when you consult the dead

131
00:09:25,098 --> 00:09:27,100
you get a message of death.

132
00:09:32,272 --> 00:09:34,573
As Saul reels from
this prophecy of death

133
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:36,608
at the hands of the Philistines,

134
00:09:36,609 --> 00:09:40,379
David and his men have sought
refuge with the very same enemy.

135
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:43,483
To receive that refuge,
David must petition King Achish,

136
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:47,119
the same king before whom
David had once faked insanity.

137
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,689
Miraculously, the Israelites
are granted permission to stay,

138
00:09:49,789 --> 00:09:51,623
but on one condition,

139
00:09:51,624 --> 00:09:53,892
that David and his men
will raid and plunder

140
00:09:53,893 --> 00:09:57,296
the king�s enemies, and
that includes the Israelites.

141
00:09:58,231 --> 00:09:59,798
David does raid
and plunder and brings

142
00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:01,234
much treasure to King Achish.

143
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:04,771
But the source of
that treasure is another matter.

144
00:10:17,650 --> 00:10:22,321
David would go to
outlying villages and people

145
00:10:22,322 --> 00:10:25,358
who were not Israelite,
and kill everybody.

146
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:27,327
So there�s nobody to tell a tale

147
00:10:27,427 --> 00:10:30,797
of what he�s doing,
and would come back with booty.

148
00:10:30,897 --> 00:10:32,966
The king thought
that he was getting this

149
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:36,635
from conquering the Israelites,
but in fact wasn�t.

150
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:38,837
It shows again,
David is cunning.

151
00:10:38,838 --> 00:10:40,773
He�s a strategist.

152
00:10:49,682 --> 00:10:52,985
KING ACHISH AGREES TO GIVE DAVD
A REMOTE ABANDONED VILLAGE

153
00:10:53,086 --> 00:10:54,520
CALLED ZIKLAG.

154
00:10:54,521 --> 00:10:55,989
A PLACE OF REFUGE

155
00:10:56,089 --> 00:10:58,124
WHERE DAVID AND HIS MEN
CAN RAISE THEIR FAMILIES

156
00:10:59,192 --> 00:11:01,695
AND WHERE DAVID AND ABIGAIL
CAN START THEIR OWN.

157
00:11:06,199 --> 00:11:08,601
You must try to relax, Abigail.

158
00:11:09,502 --> 00:11:11,036
Relax?

159
00:11:11,037 --> 00:11:13,239
I have a human
inside of me, Miriam,

160
00:11:13,339 --> 00:11:15,541
and I�m trying to get it out.

161
00:11:15,642 --> 00:11:18,043
How exactly am I to relax?

162
00:11:18,044 --> 00:11:20,947
Come on, Abigail.
Miriam is just trying to help.

163
00:11:21,047 --> 00:11:24,550
Say nothing, husband.
Not a word.

164
00:11:24,551 --> 00:11:29,723
I alone am left with this
dreadful consequence of your--

165
00:11:29,822 --> 00:11:32,158
Even in this state,
you are beautiful.

166
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:34,726
State?

167
00:11:34,727 --> 00:11:36,728
What state are you suggesting?

168
00:11:36,729 --> 00:11:38,263
Don�t--

169
00:11:38,264 --> 00:11:41,066
David, perhaps you can fetch
some more water from the well.

170
00:11:41,067 --> 00:11:42,701
It�ll help cool her down. Yes?

171
00:11:42,702 --> 00:11:44,537
I�ve been trying
to cool her down for ages

172
00:11:44,637 --> 00:11:46,672
with little success.

173
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,675
Not the time, David.

174
00:11:48,775 --> 00:11:51,511
Sorry, my love. Be right back.

175
00:12:04,157 --> 00:12:06,459
So? Has yours shown up yet?

176
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:10,929
Not yet.
She still labors loudly.

177
00:12:10,930 --> 00:12:14,066
I�m afraid there�ll be
another sleepless night.

178
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:16,836
My friend, your sleepless
nights are just beginning.

179
00:12:18,071 --> 00:12:20,272
Soon enough, you�ll be willing
to sacrifice your soft bed

180
00:12:20,273 --> 00:12:23,376
for the silence of the caves.

181
00:12:24,477 --> 00:12:26,312
We will soon see.

182
00:12:26,412 --> 00:12:28,514
Tell your wife
to hurry it up, will you?

183
00:12:28,615 --> 00:12:32,385
So that I can give this
noisy creature back to my wife.

184
00:12:37,123 --> 00:12:38,958
A messenger from the king!

185
00:12:39,959 --> 00:12:42,294
KING ACHISH
SENDS A ROYAL COMMAND TO DAVI .

186
00:12:42,295 --> 00:12:44,496
THE PHILISTINE KING
IS MUSTERING HIS ARMIES

187
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:46,866
FOR ANOTHER
WAR AGAINST KING SAUL.

188
00:12:48,101 --> 00:12:51,136
DAVID AND HIS MEN ARE BEING
SUMMONED TO THE FRONT LINES

189
00:12:51,137 --> 00:12:53,605
TO FIGHT
ALONGSIDE THE PHILISTINES

190
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:55,308
AGAINST THEIR OWN PEOPLE.

191
00:12:58,444 --> 00:12:59,779
Excellent.

192
00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:03,115
Tell King Achish his
loyal champion is on his way.

193
00:13:03,116 --> 00:13:05,619
IN ORDER TO KEEP
THE DECEPTION INTACT,

194
00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:07,620
DAVID MUST ACT
AS IF HE IS THRILLED

195
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,655
TO FIGHT THE ISRAELITES.

196
00:13:11,591 --> 00:13:15,228
David! Your wife wants
to introduce you to someone.

197
00:13:46,259 --> 00:13:49,162
David, what are you going to do?

198
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:52,765
You cannot fight our own people.

199
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:55,468
Fight Jonathan?

200
00:13:58,204 --> 00:14:01,107
The Lord will make a way.

201
00:14:06,312 --> 00:14:10,283
You focus on our child
and getting rest.

202
00:14:16,422 --> 00:14:19,158
I will pray
for wisdom and covering.

203
00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:24,897
And I will do the same for you.

204
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:37,244
Brother Jaaziel!

205
00:14:38,277 --> 00:14:40,212
Take care of our precious brood.

206
00:14:40,747 --> 00:14:42,415
With my very life.

207
00:15:27,427 --> 00:15:30,764
So, because David
has seemed to the king of Achih

208
00:15:30,863 --> 00:15:32,764
to be a loyal subject,

209
00:15:32,765 --> 00:15:35,368
he�s invited to join forces

210
00:15:35,468 --> 00:15:38,069
with him and the other
Philistine leaders

211
00:15:38,070 --> 00:15:39,972
to go to war against Israel.

212
00:15:40,072 --> 00:15:45,811
David finds himself
as having to say yes to this

213
00:15:45,812 --> 00:15:49,582
because otherwise
his duplicity would be exposed.

214
00:15:52,718 --> 00:15:55,520
Now would be a good time
to tell us what your plan is.

215
00:15:55,521 --> 00:15:57,923
The Lord has not yet spoken.

216
00:15:57,924 --> 00:16:00,459
By the looks of things,
we�ll soon be able to ask Him

217
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:02,495
face to face
in the great year after.

218
00:16:03,529 --> 00:16:06,465
Well, brother,
we are candidates for a miracle.

219
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:09,435
Indeed, brother.

220
00:16:16,542 --> 00:16:18,277
My champion!

221
00:16:20,446 --> 00:16:22,814
Finally, I get to see you fight.

222
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:24,517
Welcome, David.

223
00:16:26,853 --> 00:16:28,521
Thank you, my king.

224
00:16:29,522 --> 00:16:31,189
But it would seem
not all are as welcoming

225
00:16:31,190 --> 00:16:33,658
at Israelites
in the Philistine ranks.

226
00:16:33,659 --> 00:16:35,660
Ah, nonsense!

227
00:16:35,661 --> 00:16:38,029
When they see
your exploits on the battlefield

228
00:16:38,030 --> 00:16:39,732
against our common enemy,

229
00:16:39,832 --> 00:16:43,002
you will be celebrated
throughout Philistia.

230
00:16:47,974 --> 00:16:51,042
Now, nourish your men and rest.

231
00:16:51,043 --> 00:16:52,845
Tomorrow awaits.

232
00:16:52,945 --> 00:16:54,679
It will be glorious!

233
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,048
Yes, my king.

234
00:16:58,918 --> 00:17:00,719
THE PHILISTINE
GENERALS AND COMMANDERS

235
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,056
ARE ANGRY WITH KING ACHISH.

236
00:17:05,725 --> 00:17:08,760
THEY DEMAND THAT THE KING
SEND DAVID BACK TO ZIKLAG.

237
00:17:08,761 --> 00:17:11,197
THEY REFUSE TO FIGHT
ALONGSIDE DAVID AND HIS ARMY.

238
00:17:11,297 --> 00:17:12,865
THEY�RE SURE
IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE,

239
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:15,201
DAVID WILL TURN AGAINST THEM
TO WIN FAVOR WITH KING SAUL.

240
00:17:28,681 --> 00:17:30,082
What have
I done to deserve this?

241
00:17:30,182 --> 00:17:32,418
Please! Let me fight your enemy.

242
00:17:35,021 --> 00:17:37,156
DAVID HAS RECEIVED
THE MIRACLE HE WAS WAITING FOR.

243
00:17:39,325 --> 00:17:41,893
HE AND HIS MEN ARE
SENT AWAY FROM THE BATTLEFIELD.

244
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:44,764
ORDERED TO
RETURN TO THEIR HOME AT ZIKLAG.

245
00:17:45,898 --> 00:17:48,801
The Lord answers
in mysterious ways.

246
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:52,972
Well, brother,
it seems we�ll be back

247
00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:55,708
with those
noisy creatures very soon.

248
00:17:56,576 --> 00:17:58,511
Best we get
some sleep on the road.

249
00:18:06,285 --> 00:18:08,654
The King of Achish is apologetc

250
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:10,422
and David
appears to be gracious.

251
00:18:10,523 --> 00:18:11,823
But David�s going like,

252
00:18:11,824 --> 00:18:14,927
phew, I almost had to
go against my own people,

253
00:18:15,027 --> 00:18:16,395
something I didn�t have to do.

254
00:18:16,495 --> 00:18:19,932
So, it was God�s
gracious intervention.

255
00:18:20,032 --> 00:18:22,735
There must have been
a tremendous sense of relief.

256
00:18:31,043 --> 00:18:32,845
Keth,

257
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:34,647
announce our arrival.

258
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:39,111
Jaaziel? Jaaziel!

259
00:19:42,214 --> 00:19:44,249
It�s okay, Jaaziel.

260
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:48,154
- I�m sorry.
- It�s okay, Jaaziel.

261
00:19:50,356 --> 00:19:52,558
Tell me what happened here.

262
00:19:56,896 --> 00:20:00,733
Amalekites... Amalekites.

263
00:20:01,767 --> 00:20:03,936
Amalekites!

264
00:20:13,646 --> 00:20:17,150
It�s okay. It�s okay.

265
00:20:18,350 --> 00:20:21,086
CRIES RING OUT IN THE REMAINS
OF THE VILLAGE OF ZIKLAG

266
00:20:21,087 --> 00:20:25,658
AS MAN AFTER MAN DISCOVERS
HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN ARE GONE.

267
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:30,262
THE AMALEKITES
HAVE TAKEN THEM ALL.

268
00:20:35,568 --> 00:20:38,770
THIS IS THE VERY SAME
BLOODTHIRSTY TRIBE THAT,

269
00:20:38,771 --> 00:20:40,339
MANY YEARS BEFORE,

270
00:20:40,439 --> 00:20:43,575
KING SAUL HAD BEEN ORDERED
BY GOD TO DESTROY COMPLETELY,

271
00:20:43,676 --> 00:20:45,211
AND SAUL DID NOT.

272
00:21:19,812 --> 00:21:21,980
The men were beside themselves.

273
00:21:21,981 --> 00:21:26,118
They sacrificed all
in order to follow David.

274
00:21:26,218 --> 00:21:29,154
They go home,
but when they get to Ziklag,

275
00:21:29,255 --> 00:21:32,125
their home is gone,
the house is destroyed,

276
00:21:32,224 --> 00:21:36,495
their possessions stolen,
their wives and children taken.

277
00:21:36,595 --> 00:21:39,131
This is the worst
imaginable situation.

278
00:21:39,231 --> 00:21:43,936
The visceral hurt of
their families being taken.

279
00:21:44,036 --> 00:21:45,671
It shows that he�s the leader,

280
00:21:45,771 --> 00:21:48,040
and they look to him for

281
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:49,507
praise and blame.

282
00:21:49,508 --> 00:21:52,378
And so, in their hurt
and heartache,

283
00:21:52,478 --> 00:21:54,180
the blame fell on him.

284
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,181
These are fickle men.

285
00:21:56,182 --> 00:22:00,053
These are the disenfranchised
that are hurt by this.

286
00:22:16,669 --> 00:22:18,337
Oh Lord...

287
00:22:19,004 --> 00:22:21,340
My God who saves me...

288
00:22:25,711 --> 00:22:28,480
day and night.

289
00:22:30,683 --> 00:22:32,818
I cry out before you.

290
00:22:34,186 --> 00:22:36,722
May my prayer come before you.

291
00:22:37,523 --> 00:22:40,726
For my soul is troubled...

292
00:22:43,796 --> 00:22:48,067
and my life draws near the end.

293
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:55,673
I am counted among those

294
00:22:55,674 --> 00:22:57,809
who go down to the pit.

295
00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:32,344
David!

296
00:23:34,713 --> 00:23:36,281
David!

297
00:24:00,172 --> 00:24:04,176
When David faced rejection,
he went inward and upward.

298
00:24:05,244 --> 00:24:07,747
And when Saul faced rejection,
he went outward.

299
00:24:08,614 --> 00:24:11,450
He lashed out,
and David cried out.

300
00:24:13,485 --> 00:24:15,420
I seek divine counsel.

301
00:24:26,498 --> 00:24:28,734
Of course, brother.

302
00:24:34,206 --> 00:24:38,310
O Lord, my God...

303
00:24:40,179 --> 00:24:42,415
Reveal Yourself to me.

304
00:24:43,649 --> 00:24:45,618
I seek Your strength.

305
00:24:46,819 --> 00:24:49,055
I seek Your wisdom.

306
00:24:49,955 --> 00:24:52,491
Shall I pursue
the raiding party?

307
00:24:54,593 --> 00:24:56,495
Will I overtake them?

308
00:25:05,537 --> 00:25:09,041
GOD HEARS DAVID�S PRAYER,
AND ANSWERS HIM WITH ONE WORD...

309
00:25:09,775 --> 00:25:11,510
"PURSUE."

310
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:13,378
DAVID GIVES AN OATH TO HIS MEN

311
00:25:13,479 --> 00:25:16,080
THAT IF THEY WILL FOLLOW
HIM ONE MORE TIME,

312
00:25:16,081 --> 00:25:17,883
HE WILL GIVE HIS LIFE
TRYING TO REDEEM

313
00:25:17,983 --> 00:25:19,384
WHAT WAS TAKEN FROM THEM ALL.

314
00:25:26,658 --> 00:25:30,061
I would�ve not wanted to be
on the receiving end of that.

315
00:25:30,796 --> 00:25:32,765
Now they are fighting

316
00:25:32,865 --> 00:25:35,566
not just for the guy
on their left and the right.

317
00:25:35,567 --> 00:25:38,870
They�re fighting for the things
they hold most precious.

318
00:25:39,905 --> 00:25:42,708
Their sons,
their daughters, their wives.

319
00:25:42,808 --> 00:25:45,544
The reason they exist.

320
00:25:46,512 --> 00:25:48,180
That�s what
they�re fighting for.

321
00:26:04,296 --> 00:26:06,598
AMALEK MEANS
"HE WHO LICKS BLOOD. "

322
00:26:07,633 --> 00:26:09,934
THE AMALEKITES
ARE A NOMADIC RAIDING TRIBE

323
00:26:09,935 --> 00:26:11,570
WHO, LEGEND CLAIMS,

324
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:15,107
COULD TRANSFORM THEMSELVES
INTO ANIMALS TO AVOID CAPTURE.

325
00:26:15,207 --> 00:26:18,709
THEY OFTEN WEAR MASKS MADE FROM
THE SKULLS OF WILD BEASTS,

326
00:26:18,710 --> 00:26:21,279
WITH THEIR BODIES
COVERED IN ANIMAL BLOOD.

327
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,148
THIS SAME EVIL TRIBE IS
THE ONE THAT HAD ATTACKED WOME,

328
00:26:24,149 --> 00:26:26,018
CHILDREN, AND STRAGGLERS

329
00:26:26,118 --> 00:26:28,921
WHEN MOSES WAS LEADING
THE ISRAELITES OUT OF EGYPT.

330
00:26:32,791 --> 00:26:35,093
The Amalekites were a people

331
00:26:35,094 --> 00:26:39,532
whose entire essence
was cruelty.

332
00:26:39,631 --> 00:26:41,633
They are, throughout the Bible,

333
00:26:41,733 --> 00:26:43,435
the arch-enemy
of the Jewish people,

334
00:26:43,535 --> 00:26:45,637
the arch-enemy
of the nation of Israel.

335
00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:15,327
On me!!

336
00:28:50,162 --> 00:28:53,899
DAVID FACES OFF WITH THE ONE WO
DARED KIDNAP HIS WIFE AND CHIL,

337
00:28:53,999 --> 00:28:56,435
KING LAGAN OF THE AMALEKITES.

338
00:28:56,535 --> 00:28:58,037
TO THE CONFUSION
OF THE ENEMY KING,

339
00:28:58,136 --> 00:29:00,538
DAVID DRENCHES HIMSELF IN WATE.

340
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:56,227
The battle belongs to the Lord!

341
00:30:42,674 --> 00:30:44,876
GOD FULFILLS
HIS PROMISE TO DAVID

342
00:30:44,976 --> 00:30:48,679
AND GIVES HIM COMPLETE VICTORY
OVER THEIR ANCIENT ENEMY.

343
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,414
DAVID AND HIS MEN RECOVER

344
00:30:50,415 --> 00:30:53,050
EVERYTHING THE AMALEKITES
HAD TAKEN FROM THEM,

345
00:30:53,051 --> 00:30:57,221
INCLUDING ALL OF THEIR WIVES
AND ALL OF THEIR CHILDREN.

346
00:30:57,222 --> 00:31:00,057
Their treasure is recovered
and more from their enemies.

347
00:31:00,058 --> 00:31:02,560
So much more treasure
that David shares

348
00:31:02,561 --> 00:31:05,431
the bounty with the towns
that have been loyal to him.

349
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:10,835
DESPITE SAMUEL�S WARNING,

350
00:31:10,836 --> 00:31:13,706
SAUL GOES OFF TO BATTLE
AGAINST THE PHILISTINES.

351
00:31:15,874 --> 00:31:18,310
WHILE DAVID
CELEBRATES HIS VICTORY,

352
00:31:18,410 --> 00:31:21,079
KING SAUL IS FACING HIS DEFEAT.

353
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,581
THE FIRST KING OF ISRAEL

354
00:31:23,582 --> 00:31:25,818
HAS BEEN ABANDONED
BY MOST OF HIS MEN.

355
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:27,886
ONLY A FEW REMAIN TO THE END.

356
00:31:27,986 --> 00:31:31,022
AND THOSE WHO STAYED FALL.

357
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:35,426
No... No!

358
00:31:35,427 --> 00:31:37,628
INCLUDING SAUL�S HEIR,

359
00:31:37,629 --> 00:31:39,096
PRINCE JONATHAN.

360
00:31:39,097 --> 00:31:40,899
No!

361
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:43,402
My son.

362
00:31:45,070 --> 00:31:46,405
Jonathan?

363
00:31:47,072 --> 00:31:50,609
My boy. My son!

364
00:31:53,745 --> 00:31:56,548
Why have you forsaken me?

365
00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:27,813
My king.

366
00:32:31,516 --> 00:32:34,052
I have been looking for you.

367
00:32:38,824 --> 00:32:40,592
My king.

368
00:32:42,794 --> 00:32:45,597
The enemy is searching for you.
We must hide!

369
00:32:46,998 --> 00:32:48,533
Draw your sword.

370
00:32:49,367 --> 00:32:50,969
Draw your sword!

371
00:32:51,069 --> 00:32:54,973
Run me through!
Before they discover us.

372
00:32:55,774 --> 00:32:57,042
They will have
their way with me.

373
00:32:57,142 --> 00:32:59,645
- Do it!
- I cannot do that, my king.

374
00:33:05,484 --> 00:33:07,119
My king...

375
00:33:09,554 --> 00:33:11,689
My king, no!

376
00:33:16,328 --> 00:33:18,263
Now you will finally...

377
00:33:19,698 --> 00:33:21,200
be silenced.

378
00:33:25,570 --> 00:33:26,971
My king!

379
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:31,743
My king!

380
00:33:42,721 --> 00:33:45,556
SAUL HAD BEEN ANOINTED KING
IN HOPES THAT HE WOULD REIGN

381
00:33:45,557 --> 00:33:47,692
WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS,

382
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,029
BUT HE LOST HIS WAY WHEN HE
TRAGICALLY PLACED HIS JUDGEMENT

383
00:33:51,129 --> 00:33:52,464
ABOVE THE LORD�S.

384
00:33:58,803 --> 00:34:01,205
AND SO PASSED
THE FIRST KING OF ISRAEL

385
00:34:01,306 --> 00:34:03,408
AND HIS LOYAL SON AND HEIR,

386
00:34:03,508 --> 00:34:05,343
PRINCE JONATHAN.

387
00:34:08,413 --> 00:34:11,049
The complexity
and tragedy of Saul

388
00:34:11,149 --> 00:34:15,053
lies in the split at
the center of his soul.

389
00:34:16,121 --> 00:34:17,755
And it�s only
at the end of his life,

390
00:34:17,756 --> 00:34:21,960
when he valiantly
fights and dies for Israel,

391
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:24,329
that Saul�s soul becomes one.

392
00:35:06,404 --> 00:35:08,840
DAVID AND HIS FOLLOWERS
RETURN TO ZIKLAG,

393
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:11,242
AND BEGIN
REBUILDING THEIR HOMES.

394
00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:36,702
- Rest a moment, Abigail.
- I�m fine.

395
00:35:37,636 --> 00:35:39,103
My determined wife.

396
00:35:39,104 --> 00:35:41,573
I can see you�re not going
to stop until this is done.

397
00:35:41,673 --> 00:35:45,709
Why don�t you go and get us some
water and I�ll finish up here.

398
00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:48,513
Can�t you see
I�m enjoying myself?

399
00:35:49,648 --> 00:35:53,318
If you need a break,
please, go refresh yourself.

400
00:36:01,626 --> 00:36:03,294
David!

401
00:36:13,571 --> 00:36:14,972
He is alone.

402
00:36:28,620 --> 00:36:30,322
Where do you come from?

403
00:36:34,626 --> 00:36:38,196
The battlefield of Mount Gilboa.

404
00:36:39,364 --> 00:36:41,733
I barely escaped
the Philistines with my life.

405
00:36:44,369 --> 00:36:46,037
Who won the battle?

406
00:36:47,138 --> 00:36:50,541
Our armies turned and ran.

407
00:36:51,710 --> 00:36:55,380
But...
most were wounded and died.

408
00:36:58,450 --> 00:37:03,088
Even King Saul
and his son Jonathan are...

409
00:37:03,888 --> 00:37:05,723
are dead.

410
00:37:15,834 --> 00:37:18,337
How do you know Saul
and Jonathan are dead?

411
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:24,308
I was at Mount Gilboa.

412
00:37:24,409 --> 00:37:26,044
It�s where I came across

413
00:37:26,144 --> 00:37:29,614
King Saul and his son,
Prince Jonathan.

414
00:37:30,548 --> 00:37:34,251
They had fallen, but...

415
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:36,788
King Saul still drew breath.

416
00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:41,393
He asked me
that I aid him in his death.

417
00:37:45,597 --> 00:37:47,532
And...

418
00:37:47,632 --> 00:37:49,400
And I did.

419
00:37:55,940 --> 00:37:58,843
I bring you these, Lord David.

420
00:38:18,463 --> 00:38:19,965
Perhaps...

421
00:38:21,866 --> 00:38:24,669
You will consider a reward

422
00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:26,571
for your servant.

423
00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:39,517
Why were you not afraid
to kill the Lord�s anointed one?

424
00:38:40,585 --> 00:38:44,355
Wait, wait, wait.
I only did as I was told.

425
00:38:47,859 --> 00:38:49,928
You have
condemned yourself to death!

426
00:38:50,028 --> 00:38:51,730
Your own mouth testifies

427
00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:55,000
that you killed
the anointed king of Israel.

428
00:39:11,216 --> 00:39:12,617
IN HOPES OF REWARD,

429
00:39:12,717 --> 00:39:14,519
THE SCAVENGER LIES TO DAVID

430
00:39:14,619 --> 00:39:16,888
THAT HE HAD AIDED
IN KING SAUL�S DEATH.

431
00:39:16,988 --> 00:39:21,025
THE SCAVENGER�S PRESUMPTION
IS MET WITH A DEATH SENTENCE.

432
00:39:23,228 --> 00:39:27,165
ANYONE WHO LAYS A HAND ON THE
LORD�S ANOINTED IS THE ENEMY.

433
00:39:34,172 --> 00:39:38,943
He�s either exaggerating
or lying, trying to get credit,

434
00:39:39,043 --> 00:39:42,647
thinking that David would
respond like every other king.

435
00:39:42,747 --> 00:39:44,449
When your enemy dies,
you rejoice.

436
00:39:44,549 --> 00:39:46,985
But David had never
seen Saul as an enemy,

437
00:39:47,085 --> 00:39:49,387
even though
Saul saw David as an enemy.

438
00:39:49,487 --> 00:39:52,190
He doesn�t
understand the heart of David.

439
00:39:58,696 --> 00:40:02,433
What is clear from
David�s eulogy of Saul,

440
00:40:02,533 --> 00:40:05,970
his eulogy for the man
that sought to take his life,

441
00:40:06,671 --> 00:40:10,241
Is that David sees Saul�s

442
00:40:10,341 --> 00:40:13,277
leading Israel in this battle

443
00:40:13,378 --> 00:40:16,548
as an important moment of valor.

444
00:40:19,617 --> 00:40:21,618
DAVID MOURNS
THE DEATH OF HIS DEAREST

445
00:40:21,619 --> 00:40:23,421
AND MOST LOYAL OF FRIENDS,

446
00:40:23,521 --> 00:40:25,456
PRINCE JONATHAN.

447
00:40:25,556 --> 00:40:27,591
DAVID WRITES
THE "LAMENT OF THE BOW"

448
00:40:27,692 --> 00:40:30,261
AND ORDERS ALL THE MEN
FROM HIS TRIBE OF JUDAH

449
00:40:30,361 --> 00:40:32,463
TO MEMORIZE THESE WORDS:

450
00:40:32,563 --> 00:40:35,465
THE BOW OF JONATHAN
DID NOT TURN BACK,

451
00:40:35,466 --> 00:40:38,636
AND THE SWORD OF SAUL
DID NOT RETURN EMPTY.

452
00:40:44,909 --> 00:40:47,478
HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN
IN THE MIDST OF BATTLE.

453
00:40:47,578 --> 00:40:50,281
JONATHAN IS SLAIN
ON YOUR HIGH PLACES.

454
00:40:55,486 --> 00:40:57,288
MY BROTHER, JONATHAN...

455
00:40:57,388 --> 00:41:00,791
HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN,
AND THE WEAPONS OF WAR PERISHE.

456
00:41:02,827 --> 00:41:07,398
I GRIEVE FOR YOU,
JONATHAN, MY BROTHER.

457
00:41:12,904 --> 00:41:14,805
YOUR LOVE FOR ME WAS WONDERFUL,

458
00:41:14,806 --> 00:41:17,142
MORE WONDERFUL
THAN THAT OF A WOMAN.

459
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:21,345
HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN.

460
00:41:21,346 --> 00:41:23,982
THE WEAPONS
OF WAR HAVE PERISHED.

461
00:41:41,232 --> 00:41:44,469
Jonathan is,
I think, rightly understood,

462
00:41:45,303 --> 00:41:47,505
one of the most heroic figures

463
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:49,907
in the history of Israel,

464
00:41:50,008 --> 00:41:52,043
and in the history
of the Jewish people.

465
00:41:53,077 --> 00:41:56,347
But a prince who
could have sought to be king,

466
00:41:56,447 --> 00:42:00,518
but instead
recognized God�s anointed...

467
00:42:00,618 --> 00:42:03,221
his like would
not be seen again.

468
00:42:03,321 --> 00:42:07,724
And the sackcloth
and the tearing in the ashes

469
00:42:07,725 --> 00:42:11,362
is a sign
of what has been forever lost.

470
00:42:18,069 --> 00:42:20,672
In David�s
commitment to Jonathan

471
00:42:20,772 --> 00:42:22,272
is even after death,

472
00:42:22,273 --> 00:42:25,743
there�s a binding covenant
of love between the two,

473
00:42:25,843 --> 00:42:29,080
and respect, and commitment.

474
00:42:30,248 --> 00:42:35,553
We see in David a real
sadness for losing Jonathan.

475
00:42:36,888 --> 00:42:39,758
There is a sadness, but there
is a belief that that sadness

476
00:42:39,857 --> 00:42:43,727
is resting on a foundation,
on which I can sleep,

477
00:42:43,728 --> 00:42:47,131
and I can rest,
and I can find strength again.

478
00:42:57,241 --> 00:42:59,577
AFTER MOURNING
FOR SAUL AND JONATHAN,

479
00:42:59,677 --> 00:43:02,346
DAVID ASKS THE LORD
WHERE HE SHOULD GO.

480
00:43:02,447 --> 00:43:04,281
GOD DIRECTS HIM TO HEBRON,

481
00:43:04,282 --> 00:43:06,184
IN THE LAND OF DAVID�S TRIBE,

482
00:43:06,284 --> 00:43:08,153
THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.

483
00:43:14,792 --> 00:43:17,627
Years before, the prophet
Samuel anointed a young David to

484
00:43:17,628 --> 00:43:21,598
to one day be king of Israel,
the divine will of the Lord.

485
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:24,469
And now,
finally, today is the day

486
00:43:24,569 --> 00:43:27,138
for David to be anointed by man.

487
00:43:38,182 --> 00:43:39,749
THE MEN OF JUDAH COME

488
00:43:39,750 --> 00:43:43,754
AND THERE THEY ANOINT DAVID
AS KING OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.

489
00:43:51,629 --> 00:43:53,931
DAVID THE SHEPHERD,

490
00:43:54,899 --> 00:43:56,934
THE GIANT-KILLER,

491
00:43:57,802 --> 00:43:59,203
THE OUTLAW,

492
00:44:00,905 --> 00:44:02,940
THE KING.

493
00:44:32,603 --> 00:44:34,939
The battle belongs to the Lord!

494
00:44:38,409 --> 00:44:40,611
DAVID, THE PSALMIST,

495
00:44:40,711 --> 00:44:43,547
THE MUSICIAN, THE LOVER,

496
00:44:43,548 --> 00:44:45,817
THE WARRIOR, AND THE FRIEND.

497
00:44:46,784 --> 00:44:48,552
THE LEADER COMMITTED
TO SERVE HIS PEOPLE

498
00:44:48,553 --> 00:44:51,423
AND FOLLOW THE LORD
UNCONDITIONALLY.

499
00:44:52,957 --> 00:44:54,524
David,

500
00:44:54,525 --> 00:44:58,428
the one who taught the world how
to live and lead with humility,

501
00:44:58,429 --> 00:45:01,332
how to put
total faith in God�s will,

502
00:45:01,432 --> 00:45:04,268
the one whom God himself
calls a man after my own heart,

503
00:45:04,368 --> 00:45:07,904
and whose bloodline is chosen
to one day usher in the Messiah.

504
00:45:07,905 --> 00:45:10,574
David, as head of the tribe
of Judah, will be the lion,

505
00:45:10,575 --> 00:45:12,610
the symbol of
his future monarchy,

506
00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:15,546
its strength
and true leadership.

507
00:45:15,646 --> 00:45:17,681
But the story of David
is just getting started.

508
00:45:17,782 --> 00:45:20,285
The prophecy that David
was to be king over all Hebrews

509
00:45:20,384 --> 00:45:21,785
has yet to be fulfilled.

510
00:45:21,886 --> 00:45:25,556
Eleven other tribes do not yet
recognize him as king.

511
00:45:26,424 --> 00:45:28,559
Within this
torn and divided land,

512
00:45:28,659 --> 00:45:31,261
David takes another step
toward his divine inheritance

513
00:45:31,262 --> 00:45:33,296
to be the king of Israel.

514
00:45:33,297 --> 00:45:43,440
I�m Zachary Levi
and thank you for joining us.
