David

Oh boy.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.

Ha ha!

It's time!

Stand aside, stand aside, Gibor! Ha ha!

Thank you, Abirra. Thank you, Yala.

Oh! Hey, hey, hey, Shira.

Don't worry, I got you.

You're a bit early, aren't you girl?

Stand back, everyone.

The flock's about to get a little bigger.

It's okay girl, you're good.

Just breathe.

We'll get this little one out,

then I promise...

I'll bring you home.

Stay together.

If we stay close, stay tight,

it won't be able to single anyone out.

I can't do this alone.

No, wait!

Just stay quiet girl.

He hasn't seen you.

That's it.

Eyes on me.

On...

Me.

No, no, no, no!

No!

No!

God spoke to me.

Eh, it comes with being a prophet.

Oh!

He told me very clearly

that I was to come to this very house

and anoint a son of Jesse

to be the next king.

But

it is none of these.

That one had potential though.

Unless, perhaps you have another son?

Oh, no.

Shira.

Shira!

No!

Shira.

I'm so sorry.

Huh? What?

Shira?

Shira, you're alive?!

Oh.

Oh, ho, ho!

That'll teach you to mess with my sheep.

Whoo!

I'm so glad you're okay.

And who is this little one?

Oh. Oh, she's my lamb, is she?

Tali.

Well, Tali.

Let's go and introduce you to the others and get you home.

Wait here, girl.

Whew.

Whooo! Ha ha.

Now, where are the others?

Hey! Hey, it's okay, he's gone, you're safe.

You can come out now.

Don't you want to come out?

Meet the new baby?

I know that was scary,

but doesn't it make you feel more alive?

And do you know what?

I don't see a bunch of scared sheep.

Do you know what I see?

Mighty horses! Ready to take on the world!

I'm scared too sometimes,

but somewhere deep down, I know...

Hoo! Okay.

Alright guys.

So on the count of three...

We're all going to run.

I... I didn't say three yet!

Guys!

Okay, slow down! Here I come!

You're crazy!

Get out of the way!

Oh no.

Oh, the food! Please not the food!

Whoa! Coming in!

Oof!

David!

A goat? When did we get a goat?

Huh?

Hmm.

Er. Sh-Shalom.

It-It wasn't me.

And if it was, I can explain.

Maybe.

Uh, what's happening?

Remember when I told you God had big plans for you?

Well, they may have been bigger than even I thought.

David,

son of Jesse.

Are you ready for a great adventure?

Uh, yes!

As King of Israel.

What? No.

No?

No, no, no, no.

Don't mess this up for me, David.

If you're king, then I get to be a princess.

I can't be king.

We already have a king.

That's right.

Which makes this treason.

Oh, now it's treason?

And, uh, what was it when he was considering you?

Ugh, I am a soldier in Saul's army!

I have been nothing but faithful to my father,

King Saul, and God!

That is wonderful.

Continue to do so.

You can't take the youngest

and elevate him above the rest of us!

Do you want me to take his place

and shepherd the flock again?

No, Ozem will take over shepherding.

Wait, what?

No. Nethanel can do it.

I'm not doing it.

The twins can do it.

- Don't bring us into this. - Yeah.

- Boys. - Whatever.

Don't look at me.

- Way to go. - Way to go, David.

Boys.

Sorry.

I like it. Do it again.

I do not come here lightly.

The very hearts of the people are at stake.

There is the darkness over the land.

Philistines?

The Philistines are a threat, to be sure.

They lord over us with power and pride.

But there is a graver danger we face.

Amalekites?

The Amalekites are nothing but scavengers.

And they are always watching,

always waiting in the shadows.

Just as they preyed on the weak and vulnerable

when we escaped Pharaoh,

they wait for us to be divided,

for the sheep to scatter

and they will strike once more.

But our true battle is not against flesh and blood,

but in our hearts.

Did our enemies make us turn away from God?

No. We demanded a king.

So, God gave us King Saul

whose love of the crown has consumed him.

And now, we see the cost

of putting our faith in man.

Philistines, Amalekites,

Saul.

We are hard pressed on every side.

But at last,

God has chosen another.

Someone with a heart after His.

But I don't want to be king.

That is surprisingly good criteria for a king.

I'm just a shepherd.

The people are lost, David.

Astray in a storm.

A shepherd
