1. Previously on The Bible.
Copy !req
2. Human failings led
to the great flood.
Copy !req
3. Wrong choices, wrong decisions.
Copy !req
4. After Noah, a new beginning...
Copy !req
5. and a promise for Abraham.
Copy !req
6. God has spoken to me.
Copy !req
7. He will lead us to a new home.
Copy !req
8. He has promised descendants
as numerous as the stars.
Copy !req
9. To help the Israelites
fulfill the promise,
Copy !req
10. God sent Moses
to free them from slavery.
Copy !req
11. Lord!
Copy !req
12. Joshua led them
into the promised land.
Copy !req
13. Jericho is ours!
Copy !req
14. Israel! Israel!
Copy !req
15. But the Israelites
faced brutal opposition...
Copy !req
16. from the Philistines.
Copy !req
17. Some dared to fight back.
Copy !req
18. But not even Samson
could overcome them.
Copy !req
19. The prophet Samuel led
the Israelites in God's name,
Copy !req
20. but the people wanted more-
Copy !req
21. someone to lead them in battle.
Copy !req
22. - What do you want?
- A king.
Copy !req
23. A king? They become tyrants.
Copy !req
24. Not if they are chosen by God.
Copy !req
25. Saul, I anoint you
the first king of Israel.
Copy !req
26. May I, as God's prophet,
Copy !req
27. help you in any way I can.
Copy !req
28. But is any man good enough
to rule God's kingdom?
Copy !req
29. Are the men ready?
Copy !req
30. They're ready.
Copy !req
31. Where is Samuel?
Copy !req
32. He should be here.
Copy !req
33. We must make a sacrifice
before we attack.
Copy !req
34. We cannot wait any longer.
Copy !req
35. Saul! May God forgive you!
Copy !req
36. Samuel.
Copy !req
37. Where were you?
Copy !req
38. Seven days we have waited.
Seven days.
Copy !req
39. My men are deserting.
Copy !req
40. Then be a king.
Leave the job of priest to me.
Copy !req
41. Do you think God values
your sacrifice more than mine?
Copy !req
42. Samuel.
Copy !req
43. God instructs you...
Copy !req
44. kill everyone...
Copy !req
45. and everything.
Copy !req
46. A new era in Israelite
history is beginning...
Copy !req
47. the period of prophets and kings.
Copy !req
48. They must work together
to secure the promised land.
Copy !req
49. To arms!
Copy !req
50. Victory!
Copy !req
51. Saul! Saul! Saul!
Copy !req
52. Saul! Saul! Saul!
Copy !req
53. God is with me!
Copy !req
54. God is with me!
Copy !req
55. You had one task,
Copy !req
56. one simple command from God.
Copy !req
57. - Destroy everything.
- We followed his commands.
Copy !req
58. Then what is this bleating
of goats in my ears?
Copy !req
59. What is this lowing of cattle
and wailing of lambs?
Copy !req
60. Can the dead cry out?
Copy !req
61. And who is this pagan king?
Copy !req
62. He is to be put to death later.
Copy !req
63. When the Lord says spare,
you spare.
Copy !req
64. When he says kill-.
Copy !req
65. Samuel!
Copy !req
66. You are our prophet,
but I am your king.
Copy !req
67. What the Lord gives,
he can take away.
Copy !req
68. Are these God's words or yours?
Copy !req
69. Your descendants could have ruled
for over a thousand years.
Copy !req
70. But today,
Copy !req
71. God has forsaken you.
Copy !req
72. More divine words?
Copy !req
73. God has torn
your power from you.
Copy !req
74. He wants a man
after his own heart.
Copy !req
75. Bring me wine. Sire.
Copy !req
76. Do you hear me? Now!
Copy !req
77. Yes, sire!
Copy !req
78. Perhaps I have been hasty.
Copy !req
79. I should ask
Samuel's forgiveness.
Copy !req
80. Bring Samuel to me.
Copy !req
81. He's gone, Majesty.
Copy !req
82. Gone?
Copy !req
83. Samuel!
Copy !req
84. After Saul's disobedience,
Copy !req
85. God commands
his prophet Samuel...
Copy !req
86. to find a new king.
Copy !req
87. Young man!
Copy !req
88. What is your name?
Copy !req
89. David, sir.
Copy !req
90. My name is David.
Copy !req
91. I anoint you,
David of Bethlehem,
Copy !req
92. to be the next king of Israel...
Copy !req
93. once Saul is dead.
Copy !req
94. Father, what's wrong?
Copy !req
95. Tell me what's wrong.
Copy !req
96. Nothing is wrong.
Copy !req
97. It was a great victory.
Copy !req
98. I need rest. That is all.
Copy !req
99. Sleep. Sleep.
Copy !req
100. Lord, forgive your servant!
Copy !req
101. In time,
Copy !req
102. David becomes an attendant
in Saul's court-
Copy !req
103. a king in waiting.
Copy !req
104. The Philistine threat
continues to grow.
Copy !req
105. Now they have a new champion-.
Copy !req
106. Goliath.
Copy !req
107. Will one of you fight me?
Copy !req
108. Israelites, you win,
Copy !req
109. and the Philistines
will be your slaves.
Copy !req
110. I win,
Copy !req
111. and you...
Copy !req
112. will be our slaves.
Copy !req
113. Someone must fight him!
Not you, Jonathan.
Copy !req
114. The warrior who defeats him...
will be a rich man.
Copy !req
115. Not one man in Israel?
Copy !req
116. Not one of God's people.
Copy !req
117. I'll do it.
Copy !req
118. David.
Copy !req
119. You're no soldier.
You're a shepherd.
Copy !req
120. Yes, a shepherd.
Copy !req
121. As I protect my sheep,
God will protect me.
Copy !req
122. Where is your faith?
Copy !req
123. Where is your god?
Copy !req
124. I will kill him.
Copy !req
125. You'll need this.
Copy !req
126. I'll be better without it.
Copy !req
127. Yea, though I walk in the valley
of the shadow of death,
Copy !req
128. I fear no evil...
Copy !req
129. for you are with me.
Copy !req
130. Thy rod and staff,
Copy !req
131. they comfort me.
Copy !req
132. You anoint my head with oil.
Copy !req
133. My cup overflows.
Copy !req
134. Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me...
Copy !req
135. all the days of my life.
Copy !req
136. Israel has found a champion.
Copy !req
137. Don't waste my time, little boy.
Copy !req
138. You're too young to die.
Copy !req
139. I will fight you.
Copy !req
140. Father, he did it.
David did it.
Copy !req
141. Let us make slaves of them!
Copy !req
142. David!
Copy !req
143. My wolf in shepherd's clothing.
Copy !req
144. You've saved my kingdom,
my shepherd warrior!
Copy !req
145. Come with me, brother.
Copy !req
146. David joins Saul's army...
Copy !req
147. and battles
the Philistines for decades.
Copy !req
148. He becomes a warrior,
Copy !req
149. a leader,
Copy !req
150. a hero.
Copy !req
151. Saul! Saul! Saul!
Copy !req
152. Saul! Saul! Saul!
Copy !req
153. Saul has killed thousands!
Copy !req
154. Saul! Saul! Saul!
Copy !req
155. Saul! Saul!
Copy !req
156. Saul! Saul! Saul!
Copy !req
157. You hear that, Father?
Copy !req
158. I hear.
Copy !req
159. Saul! Saul!
Copy !req
160. Saul! Saul! Saul!
Copy !req
161. David has killed
tens of thousands!
Copy !req
162. David! David!
Copy !req
163. David! David!
Copy !req
164. David! David! David!
Copy !req
165. David! David!
He deserves their praise.
Copy !req
166. He'll want my crown next.
Copy !req
167. David! David!
Copy !req
168. I thought you were going
to fall off your horse.
Copy !req
169. I did fall off my horse.
Copy !req
170. I think I killed a man
when I landed on him.
Copy !req
171. There was one point, there
were two men in front of me.
Copy !req
172. David.
Copy !req
173. Come here.
Copy !req
174. So,
Copy !req
175. once again,
you are our champion.
Copy !req
176. You have killed thousands.
Copy !req
177. Tens of thousands.
Copy !req
178. Of course.
Copy !req
179. Tens of thousands.
Copy !req
180. Our people are
very grateful to you.
Copy !req
181. The Lord blessed us all.
Copy !req
182. I would like to reward you.
Copy !req
183. I offer you my daughter, Michal.
Copy !req
184. I'm very honored, Majesty.
Copy !req
185. David, we're brothers now.
Copy !req
186. In return...
Copy !req
187. 100 dead Philistines.
Copy !req
188. Hmm? What say you?
Copy !req
189. 100 dead Philistines
slain by your own hand.
Copy !req
190. Father,
Copy !req
191. he's risked his life enough, no?
Copy !req
192. What if he doesn't return?
Copy !req
193. I shall return.
Copy !req
194. God willing.
Copy !req
195. You love him like a brother,
don't you?
Copy !req
196. I do.
Copy !req
197. As Abel, no doubt,
once loved Cain.
Copy !req
198. He wants our crown.
Copy !req
199. Can't you see? No.
Copy !req
200. He's loyal to us both.
Nonsense!
Copy !req
201. A few mementos for you.
Copy !req
202. And these.
Copy !req
203. Trophies taken from each
of their bodies.
Copy !req
204. From a hundred men?
Copy !req
205. 200.
Copy !req
206. God was with me.
Copy !req
207. Michal.
Copy !req
208. Let's go.
Copy !req
209. Get out, all of you.
Copy !req
210. Get out!
Copy !req
211. Father.
Copy !req
212. What demons possess you?
Copy !req
213. If it wasn't for him,
we would all be slaves...
Copy !req
214. and you would not be king.
Copy !req
215. And with him, you never will be.
Copy !req
216. Your father, the king,
wishes to see David.
Copy !req
217. He can't. He's... not well.
Copy !req
218. Not well!
Copy !req
219. Not well, you say.
Copy !req
220. Well-Well, we shall see.
Copy !req
221. We shall see.
Copy !req
222. Not well.
Copy !req
223. David?
Copy !req
224. Yes.
Copy !req
225. You have helped him escape.
Copy !req
226. You would rather be queen than
see your own father king! No!
Copy !req
227. You would betray
your own brother!
Copy !req
228. Father, you need to rest!
Copy !req
229. So... even my own children
plot against me!
Copy !req
230. David!
Copy !req
231. Wherever you go,
I shall hunt you down!
Copy !req
232. Priests!
Copy !req
233. Your king wishes
to speak with you.
Copy !req
234. - Come here! Out!
- Come on!
Copy !req
235. David was here, wasn't he?
Copy !req
236. - You sheltered him.
- This is God's house.
Copy !req
237. We offer shelter
to all his people.
Copy !req
238. Kill him.
Copy !req
239. I said kill him!
Copy !req
240. Kill all of them.
Copy !req
241. I have served you faithfully, Lord.
Copy !req
242. As faithfully as a man can.
Copy !req
243. And yet still it seems
it is not enough.
Copy !req
244. Not enough.
Copy !req
245. God is with me!
Copy !req
246. God is with me!
Copy !req
247. Lord!
Copy !req
248. Do you hear your servant?
Copy !req
249. Majesty.
Copy !req
250. David.
Copy !req
251. Why do you pursue me
when I have done you no harm?
Copy !req
252. I could have killed you.
Copy !req
253. Your life was mine to take.
Copy !req
254. Why didn't you take it then?
Copy !req
255. The Lord may revenge
the harm you have done to me,
Copy !req
256. but only evildoers
do evil deeds.
Copy !req
257. So my hand
will not touch you. Ever.
Copy !req
258. And God will reward you,
and you will be king!
Copy !req
259. You are my king. And
when you have my crown,
Copy !req
260. will you not kill my
descendants, bury my name?
Copy !req
261. I will not. No?
Copy !req
262. I swear.
Copy !req
263. No?
Copy !req
264. Come then.
Copy !req
265. Come.
Copy !req
266. We'll go home together.
Copy !req
267. Why did you not kill him
when you had the chance?
Copy !req
268. Because he's one
of the anointed.
Copy !req
269. It's up to God
to decide his destiny.
Copy !req
270. Father!
Copy !req
271. Father!
Copy !req
272. Father.
Copy !req
273. The Philistine army is in the
next valley, near Gilboa.
Copy !req
274. Jonathan, David is very near.
Copy !req
275. Forget about David.
Copy !req
276. You must defend your kingdom.
Copy !req
277. That is your duty.
Copy !req
278. You're right.
Copy !req
279. We must prepare for battle.
Copy !req
280. Tell the men
we leave for Gilboa.
Copy !req
281. Tell them we leave at dawn.
Copy !req
282. Jonathan, save yourself!
Copy !req
283. No! We stand together!
Copy !req
284. Father, come on! Come on!
Copy !req
285. Draw!
Copy !req
286. Jonathan!
Copy !req
287. Jonathan!
Copy !req
288. Jonathan. Jonathan.
Copy !req
289. Oh, my son!
Copy !req
290. Oh, why?
Copy !req
291. Dear God.
Copy !req
292. Were my sins so great...
Copy !req
293. all of Israel must suffer?
Copy !req
294. Hyah! Hyah!
Copy !req
295. A crushing victory...
Copy !req
296. for the Philistines.
Copy !req
297. And Saul?
Copy !req
298. Dead.
Copy !req
299. You think the death of God's
anointed is a trivial thing?
Copy !req
300. What of Jonathan?
Copy !req
301. Captured?
Copy !req
302. Get rid of him!
Copy !req
303. How are the mighty fallen.
Copy !req
304. We can go home.
Copy !req
305. The people will look to you now...
Copy !req
306. to defend them, unite them.
Copy !req
307. Our time has come.
Copy !req
308. Yes, my king.
Copy !req
309. King David.
Copy !req
310. David gathers followers.
Copy !req
311. But to unite Israel,
he needs a capital city.
Copy !req
312. Jerusalem.
Copy !req
313. Our new home.
Copy !req
314. Now we just need
to find a way in.
Copy !req
315. How do we do that?
Copy !req
316. There is one way.
Copy !req
317. We wait till nightfall.
Copy !req
318. What do we do now?
Copy !req
319. Here.
Copy !req
320. What happened to Saul!
Copy !req
321. For Israel.
Copy !req
322. Look out! To arms!
Copy !req
323. Uriah!
Copy !req
324. Israel!
Copy !req
325. Jerusalem is now David's city,
Copy !req
326. a new center of power
for the Israelites...
Copy !req
327. and a home for the ultimate symbol
of their bond with God.
Copy !req
328. The Ark of the Covenant!
Copy !req
329. Your wife's far too pretty
for you, my friend.
Copy !req
330. You're right.
Copy !req
331. Majesty. Come.
Copy !req
332. You don't mind, Uriah. I mind.
Copy !req
333. Now God is truly with me.
Copy !req
334. Your Majesty.
Copy !req
335. Ah. Prophet.
Copy !req
336. Look.
Copy !req
337. My temple.
Copy !req
338. For the Ark.
Copy !req
339. For the Lord.
Copy !req
340. The world's never seen
anything like it.
Copy !req
341. The Lord came to me last night.
Copy !req
342. He's pleased with our work?
Copy !req
343. The Lord told me the House of David
will rule Israel forever.
Copy !req
344. We are blessed.
Copy !req
345. Your son will be king.
Copy !req
346. Your son will build the temple.
Copy !req
347. My temple.
Copy !req
348. God's temple.
Copy !req
349. A kingdom forever.
Copy !req
350. Thank you, Nathan.
Copy !req
351. Your Majesty.
Copy !req
352. As you requested.
Copy !req
353. Leave us.
Copy !req
354. Bathsheba.
Copy !req
355. Majesty.
Copy !req
356. David.
Copy !req
357. Is there news of my husband?
Copy !req
358. No.
Copy !req
359. No, nothing like that.
He's safe enough, I believe,
Copy !req
360. although he is far away.
Copy !req
361. Fighting the enemy.
Copy !req
362. But you didn't go.
Copy !req
363. No need.
Copy !req
364. Not with men like Uriah
to do it for me.
Copy !req
365. I am loyal to my husband.
Copy !req
366. What about your king?
Copy !req
367. This is wrong.
Copy !req
368. No one need know.
Copy !req
369. Bathsheba becomes pregnant.
Copy !req
370. God's chosen king
breaks his commandments.
Copy !req
371. Uriah, my friend. Welcome.
Copy !req
372. You sent for me, Majesty.
Copy !req
373. How's the war going?
Copy !req
374. Well. Very well.
Copy !req
375. And your commander, Joab,
all is well with him?
Copy !req
376. All is well.
Copy !req
377. Your fellow soldiers?
Copy !req
378. They fight well.
Copy !req
379. Excellent.
Copy !req
380. Well, you can give me a
fuller report in the morning.
Copy !req
381. I'm sure for now you'd
rather be with your wife.
Copy !req
382. I cannot stay with my wife.
Of course you can.
Copy !req
383. While my men are camped
in open country,
Copy !req
384. fighting the enemy?
Copy !req
385. This is a holy war.
Copy !req
386. How could I go to my home and
spend the night with my wife?
Copy !req
387. That does you credit, Uriah.
Copy !req
388. But, man to man,
Copy !req
389. who's to know?
Copy !req
390. I will know.
Copy !req
391. Good man.
Copy !req
392. Then let's drink.
Copy !req
393. Wine!
Copy !req
394. David cannot force Uriah
to sleep with Bathsheba.
Copy !req
395. So he finds another way...
Copy !req
396. to conceal his adultery.
Copy !req
397. Commander Joab,
I order you to send Uriah...
Copy !req
398. to where the fighting
is fiercest...
Copy !req
399. and abandon him there to die.
Copy !req
400. We've been richly blessed.
Copy !req
401. You think you can just sweep what
you've done under the carpet?
Copy !req
402. You took everything from
your most loyal servant, Uriah.
Copy !req
403. He deserved your respect.
I did respect him.
Copy !req
404. Really?
Copy !req
405. You took his wife, then you
took his life. Prophet!
Copy !req
406. You think God
doesn't see everything?
Copy !req
407. The Lord has spoken to me.
Copy !req
408. He will bring disaster
on your house...
Copy !req
409. for the contempt
you have shown the Lord.
Copy !req
410. - No.
- No!
Copy !req
411. He will take your son.
Copy !req
412. We shall see.
Copy !req
413. Anything, Lord.
Copy !req
414. Please spare my child.
Copy !req
415. Tell me.
Copy !req
416. Tell me what to do.
Copy !req
417. Oh.
Copy !req
418. First my husband, now my son.
Copy !req
419. We are cursed.
Copy !req
420. But I was anointed.
Copy !req
421. God blessed me.
Copy !req
422. A king is never above his god.
Copy !req
423. You were supposed to rule
in his name, not your own.
Copy !req
424. We're finished.
Copy !req
425. Everyone will see
that God has left us.
Copy !req
426. Prophet.
Copy !req
427. Even though you are weak,
he loves you, David.
Copy !req
428. You have forged
God's nation on earth.
Copy !req
429. Take comfort in each other.
Copy !req
430. You will have another son.
Copy !req
431. Be careful, Solomon.
Copy !req
432. Let him play.
Copy !req
433. It's the house of the Lord.
Copy !req
434. One day, he'll have to build it.
Copy !req
435. Solomon will build God's temple.
Copy !req
436. But like his father,
Copy !req
437. he will find it impossible
to obey God's commandments.
