House of David

PREVIOUSLY AT DAVID'S HOUSE

I don't understand why your father trusts him.

Doeg? We don't trust him,

but it is useful to us.

It worries me.

I would like to explain to you.

I only asked you one thing: "Don't embarrass me."

I know about the anointing.

When you sit on your throne,

remember who protected you.

Give David what he wants.

Let him marry Mical,

but only if you complete one last mission.

One that I won't survive.

Did you tell David we could get married?

Yes. But first he must prove his worth.

Something's not right.

It's a trap!

Let them burn.

Giantslayer, your king betrayed you.

Why are you fighting for him?

My king, we destroy the forge.

I will marry Michal.

That's what it will be like.

I want you out of this house.

You are banished!

He will love you, bless you and multiply you.

He will bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land,

the breeding of your cows and the flocks of your sheep

in the land that swore to your ancestors What would I give you?

Hear now my words.

When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord,

I will appear to him in visions,

in my dreams I will talk to him.

In the cities of Judah and in the streets that are desolate

the voice of joy and gladness must still be heard,

voice of a husband and voice of a bride.

Drink water and also give it to the horse. Go.

Here.

What's that?

An invitation.

The Giant Killer will marry the princess.

With Michal.

It is a new beginning for Israel.

THE HOUSE OF DAVID

- The silos! - Fire!

- They burn! - Come on! Fast!

Bring water!

THE KING'S SILOS GABAA CITY

Carefully.

Luckily, the fire did not spread.

Luckily?

They had just filled with grain the five silos.

It was for the entire winter.

There is more there.

The Philistines.

We finish off his giant, but not with his will.

Don't I have enough problems?

Their attacks increased

- and forge better weapons. - Us too.

Aquis is behind this. He just wants revenge.

Without grain, there could be famine before spring.

May the other tribes give us a tribute.

And a ration of your supplies.

Let Judah begin.

I will not kneel to beg for anything, That would show weakness.

The famine is worse.

It makes people act without thinking.

How about Edom?

Our peace alliance with Edom is fragile.

Their king is vengeful and spiteful.

We haven't spoken in 20 years.

I wouldn't want to cause a bigger problem.

I will negotiate with them.

And how do you plan to do that? without getting your head cut off?

Father, in this...

In this situation, my unbridled and reckless past

could be useful.

Let's say once I spent a memorable night in Edom

with the king's closest advisor.

We are friends

or something like that.

I'll talk to him.

Go and try it.

I will not fail you.

Leave us alone for a moment, Abner.

You don't want to defend your mother.

I must do it.

You will not banish her forever.

- A queen deserves respect. - And a king?

Betrayal?

How exactly did he betray you?

David should not return of that mission, right?

The Philistines were waiting for him.

That idea was your mother's. Maybe now you understand my decision.

David has already proven his worth.

Now he is worthy of this family.

sometimes I wonder if the family is worthy of him.

Merab?

What's wrong with this family?

What family?

What is this about?

Of the digging of wells in the north.

Can't they dig them themselves?

With your money, yes.

What bothers you?

- Are you afraid to talk to your king? - No.

But I would like to talk to my friend.

I really believe in you.

He knows it. My life revolves around that.

Continue.

I'm worried.

- The silos, our enemies cannot... - No.

That's not what worries me.

No one can destroy the House of Saul...

...more than Saul.

What good is a king that conquers the world

if he loses himself?

Banish Ahinoam.

Putting a maid into her bed.

She is now my common-law wife.

It is a right of the king.

Not from the king of Israel.

Not yours.

I beg you.

Remember the man you used to be.

I think you won.

Do you want good news?

What good news?

No.

Are you sure?

I am a healer and a woman, Jonathan,

so yes, I'm sure.

Oh my god, sorry.

Calm down, I won't break.

Does anyone else know?

He will have it all.

And I'll teach him to ride a horse and pick vegetables...

What if it's a girl?

I will do the same.

We will live a peaceful life and calm in your village,

far from war and conflict.

It sounds like a dream.

Is it possible?

When David is king, yes.

I just need to ensure a path of peace and may my family be safe.

Honestly, I won't miss this place.

So, I only ask you this:

don't reveal anything.

Until our baby is born and let us be safe and free.

Promise me.

I promise you.

MEI TAHARA PURIFYING WATERS

This is a mikveh.

It is a ceremonial bath before the wedding to celebrate this new beginning.

It is water that comes from the earth.

"Blessed are you, our God,

king of the universe, that you have sanctified us with mitzvot.

You must fully submerge yourself three times.

Blessed is the God of all creation

that gave me life

- and he held me... - He held me

and helped me get to this day.

I will marry you

with righteousness and justice,

with kindness and compassion.

I will marry you forever,

and we will be one with Adonai.

Mical.

David.

You can't see me like this.

I look terrible.

I'm sorry about your mother.

I know what it's like to have a broken family.

I know.

But we must not be like our parents.

We will start again.

We will build our future

and our family.

One without lies or betrayal

nor wars.

It sounds ambitious.

Yes you're right.

David,

I need to know that you are completely mine.

Is this supposed to Will it distract me from the wedding?

Do you want to go mourn at the palace?

Yes, at least there is wine there.

And when we're done, there will be fresh meat for the party.

Do you do this with Isbosheth?

He doesn't need my help.

You ended up loving it, right?

Love.

He intrigues me, and I intrigue him, only that is needed.

I didn't think a man would tame you.

They will never tame me.

Prepare your bow.

Are you ready?

Strip.

I gave him.
