PREVIOUSLY ON
"DAVID, KING OF ISRAEL..."
2
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:29,396
In the name of the Lord, my God!
3
00:00:29,496 --> 00:00:31,531
The Philistine
fortress has fallen.
4
00:00:31,532 --> 00:00:32,867
Thanks be to God.
5
00:00:32,966 --> 00:00:34,734
You live in my house.
6
00:00:34,735 --> 00:00:36,437
You eat from my table.
7
00:00:36,537 --> 00:00:38,204
You bed my daughter!
8
00:00:38,205 --> 00:00:39,605
What have I done to grieve you?
9
00:00:39,606 --> 00:00:42,375
I sent you not for victory,
but to die!
10
00:00:42,843 --> 00:00:44,211
No, Father! No!
11
00:00:44,311 --> 00:00:46,613
If you don’t escape tonight,
you’ll be dead by morning.
12
00:00:46,713 --> 00:00:49,149
- Do not forget about me.
- I will not.
13
00:01:03,063 --> 00:01:05,365
Sleep.
14
00:01:06,099 --> 00:01:09,502
Silence! Enough!
15
00:01:24,785 --> 00:01:28,088
Hi, I’m Zachary Levi
and welcome back to our story.
16
00:01:29,423 --> 00:01:32,092
David, the famed giant-killer,
defender of Israel,
17
00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:34,660
chosen by God
as the future king,
18
00:01:34,661 --> 00:01:36,295
is now an outlaw.
19
00:01:36,296 --> 00:01:37,697
There’s a price on his head,
20
00:01:37,798 --> 00:01:40,534
put there by his own
father-in-law, King Saul.
21
00:01:41,134 --> 00:01:42,202
Shattered and abandoned,
22
00:01:42,302 --> 00:01:45,372
he hides from Saul
in the caves of Adullam,
23
00:01:45,472 --> 00:01:48,108
about 13 miles
west of Bethlehem.
24
00:01:48,842 --> 00:01:49,943
King Saul wants to kill David
25
00:01:50,043 --> 00:01:52,913
so that he cannot be
a threat to the house of Saul.
26
00:01:53,013 --> 00:01:54,982
But for Christians,
David’s struggle in the cave
27
00:01:55,082 --> 00:01:57,117
takes on a much larger meaning.
28
00:01:57,651 --> 00:01:58,818
When David becomes king,
29
00:01:58,819 --> 00:02:00,686
his line
will be prophesied to extend
30
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:03,856
all the way to the future
Messiah, Christ the Lord.
31
00:02:03,857 --> 00:02:06,692
So here in the cave,
32
00:02:06,693 --> 00:02:09,328
even the demonic forces
want David dead.
33
00:02:09,329 --> 00:02:11,864
This is not only a war
of flesh and blood,
34
00:02:11,865 --> 00:02:16,269
it’s a battle for David’s soul
and the future Messiah.
35
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:46,633
Awake my soul.
36
00:02:47,434 --> 00:02:49,436
I cry aloud to the Lord.
37
00:02:49,536 --> 00:02:52,472
I lift up my voice
to the Lord for mercy.
38
00:02:54,875 --> 00:02:57,010
I have no refuge...
39
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:01,048
no one cares for my life.
40
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:05,885
I cry to you, O Lord.
41
00:03:05,986 --> 00:03:11,291
You are my refuge, my champion
in the land of the living.
42
00:03:12,359 --> 00:03:18,031
Listen to my cry,
for I am in desperate need.
43
00:03:19,766 --> 00:03:22,335
Rescue me
from those who pursue me,
44
00:03:22,436 --> 00:03:24,939
for they are too strong for me.
45
00:03:27,507 --> 00:03:30,010
Set me free from my prison,
46
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:33,580
that I may praise your name.
47
00:03:35,549 --> 00:03:38,052
In the Psalms, David exposes us
48
00:03:38,151 --> 00:03:40,786
to what is in his very soul,
49
00:03:40,787 --> 00:03:42,088
in his heart.
50
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:44,458
God is with him when he succeeds
51
00:03:44,558 --> 00:03:47,194
and God is with him
when he fails.
52
00:03:47,294 --> 00:03:49,595
God is with him at every momen.
53
00:03:49,596 --> 00:03:51,098
Psalms give us a model
54
00:03:51,198 --> 00:03:54,168
of how to relate to God
at every moment in our life.
55
00:03:54,267 --> 00:03:57,937
God wants to hear from us
when we are delirious with joy.
56
00:03:57,938 --> 00:04:00,641
God wants to hear from us when
we are overcome with sorrow.
57
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:03,909
And God seeks
to be part of our lives
58
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:05,745
at every one of those moments.
59
00:04:12,886 --> 00:04:16,189
Then the righteous
will gather about me.
60
00:04:27,768 --> 00:04:30,002
DAVID HOLDS ON
TO THE PROMISE OF GOD
61
00:04:30,003 --> 00:04:32,439
THAT HE WILL
ONE DAY BE KING OF ISRAEL.
62
00:04:32,539 --> 00:04:36,777
BUT ONCE AGAIN SUBMITS TO GOD N
HOW AND WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN.
63
00:04:38,979 --> 00:04:41,482
JUST AS DAVID
IS FAITHFUL TO THE LORD,
64
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:44,584
SO IS THE LORD
FAITHFUL TO DAVID.
65
00:05:21,655 --> 00:05:24,857
KING SAUL HAS NOT ONLY
PUT A DEATH SENTENCE ON DAVID,
66
00:05:24,858 --> 00:05:26,692
BUT ON HIS ENTIRE FAMILY.
67
00:05:26,693 --> 00:05:28,795
ALONG WITH JESSE AND HIS SONS,
68
00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:30,697
OTHER OUTCASTS
HAVE JOINED THE JOURNEY
69
00:05:30,797 --> 00:05:32,999
TO FIND THE OUTLAW DAVID.
70
00:05:38,705 --> 00:05:42,342
EVERY MAN IN DISTRESS,
EVERY MAN WITH A CREDITOR,
71
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:44,978
AND EVERY MAN
EMBITTERED IN SPIRIT,
72
00:05:45,078 --> 00:05:48,281
GATHERED TO DAVID
AND HE BECAME THEIR LEADER.
73
00:05:51,318 --> 00:05:53,187
Who are the people
that would willingly
74
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:55,288
choose to associate with David?
75
00:05:55,388 --> 00:05:57,323
When he is on the run.
76
00:05:57,424 --> 00:05:59,693
When he is
the number one outlaw.
77
00:05:59,793 --> 00:06:01,094
Who’s going
to associate with him?
78
00:06:01,194 --> 00:06:02,529
People who have nothing to los.
79
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:04,998
People who,
they themselves, are outlaws.
80
00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:06,633
They themselves have no home.
81
00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:09,102
They themselves
have no sense of connection
82
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:10,670
to the greater society.
83
00:06:10,770 --> 00:06:14,707
David, essentially,
is bringing in the broken,
84
00:06:14,808 --> 00:06:18,378
the homeless,
the unloved, the unwanted.
85
00:06:19,646 --> 00:06:22,182
Because David, in many ways,
is all those things himself.
86
00:06:32,192 --> 00:06:35,060
THEY BRING WITH THEM
NEWS FROM PRINCE JONATHAN.
87
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:37,997
NEWS THAT KING SAUL
HAS GIVEN DAVID’S WIFE,
88
00:06:38,098 --> 00:06:41,902
PRINCESS MICHAL, TO ANOTHER MA.
89
00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:47,239
DAVID HAS BEEN STRIPPED OF HIS
TITLE AS THE KING’S SON-IN-LAW,
90
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,243
MAKING HIS BANISHMENT FINAL.
91
00:06:52,445 --> 00:06:54,514
I am sorry, my son.
92
00:06:55,615 --> 00:06:56,950
Truly, I am.
93
00:07:09,629 --> 00:07:14,167
YET, AS KING SAUL’S
PARANOID DELUSIONS INTENSIFY...
94
00:07:15,068 --> 00:07:17,637
FAR AWAY
IN THE SHADOWS OF THE CAVE,
95
00:07:17,737 --> 00:07:20,707
DAVID PRAYS TO THE LORD
FOR STRENGTH.
96
00:07:22,142 --> 00:07:26,446
David’s in the caves of Adulla.
97
00:07:27,647 --> 00:07:32,184
I mean, the passage that talks
about him in those caves
98
00:07:32,185 --> 00:07:34,420
is just one of deep searching
99
00:07:34,421 --> 00:07:37,289
and trying to find
the resolve to carry on.
100
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:40,093
That’s what takes place
in the dark night of the soul.
101
00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:43,496
Not everyone comes out
of those caves like he did.
102
00:07:47,033 --> 00:07:51,170
WORD REACHES KING SAUL
THAT MEN ARE RALLYING TO DAVID.
103
00:07:51,171 --> 00:07:53,740
SAUL FEARS THAT
IN THE DARKNESS OF THE CAVES,
104
00:07:54,574 --> 00:07:57,010
AN INSURRECTION
IS BEING PLANNED.
105
00:08:04,684 --> 00:08:07,053
Listen, men of Benjamin!
106
00:08:09,522 --> 00:08:11,523
Has that son of Jesse
107
00:08:11,524 --> 00:08:15,161
promised every one of you
fields and vineyards?
108
00:08:16,997 --> 00:08:18,932
Has he promised
to make you all generals
109
00:08:19,032 --> 00:08:20,967
and captains in his army?
110
00:08:26,373 --> 00:08:30,009
Is that why you...
you conspired against me?
111
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:34,314
For not one of you
told me when my own son
112
00:08:34,414 --> 00:08:37,350
made a solemn pact
with the son of Jesse.
113
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:42,622
You’re not even sorry for me.
114
00:08:44,557 --> 00:08:46,358
Think of it!
115
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:48,862
My own son...
116
00:08:49,596 --> 00:08:51,364
encouraging David to kill me,
117
00:08:52,232 --> 00:08:53,900
as he’s trying to do
this very day!
118
00:08:59,906 --> 00:09:01,474
My king!
119
00:09:06,579 --> 00:09:08,081
My king.
120
00:09:09,082 --> 00:09:10,984
I saw David
at the Holy Village of Nob.
121
00:09:12,185 --> 00:09:15,689
The High Priest Ahimelech
consulted the Lord for him.
122
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:18,324
Then he gave him food
123
00:09:18,425 --> 00:09:20,594
and the sword of Goliath,
the Philistine.
124
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,101
Bring me Ahimelech.
125
00:09:29,102 --> 00:09:31,571
- Yes, my king.
- Bring them all!
126
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:33,873
All the priests of Nob.
127
00:09:58,031 --> 00:10:00,600
Saul’s mad rage
is about to explode
128
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:02,602
with horrific consequences.
129
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:05,938
And yet David’s faith
in the Lord is unflinching.
130
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:10,610
From this cave, his humble
prayer is captured in Psalm 57.
131
00:10:11,544 --> 00:10:14,514
Have mercy on me, O God.
Have mercy on me,
132
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:17,483
for in You my soul takes refuge.
133
00:10:17,484 --> 00:10:19,786
I will take refuge
in the shadow of Your wings
134
00:10:19,886 --> 00:10:21,888
until the disaster has passed.
135
00:10:22,755 --> 00:10:24,623
But the disaster has not passed,
136
00:10:24,624 --> 00:10:27,427
either for David
or for the priests of Nob.
137
00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:29,929
Quite the contrary.
138
00:10:51,184 --> 00:10:53,520
Father! Father!
139
00:11:13,973 --> 00:11:17,543
GENERAL ABNER INFORMS AHIMELECH
THAT SAUL DEMANDS THAT HE
140
00:11:17,544 --> 00:11:20,714
AND ALL THE PRIESTS OF NOB
APPEAR BEFORE THE KING.
141
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:27,620
WORD OF THIS REACHES DAVID
142
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,889
AND HE KNOWS THAT HIS OWN
FAMILY IS NOW IN MORTAL DANGER.
143
00:11:30,890 --> 00:11:32,892
We can’t stay here.
144
00:11:34,894 --> 00:11:36,496
It isn’t safe.
145
00:11:38,498 --> 00:11:39,899
Come with me.
146
00:11:41,067 --> 00:11:43,269
DAVID IS ABLE TO BROKER A DEAL
WITH THE KING OF MOAB
147
00:11:43,369 --> 00:11:45,237
FOR HIS FAMILY
TO TAKE REFUGE THERE
148
00:11:45,238 --> 00:11:46,806
UNTIL THE DANGER HAS PASSED.
149
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,241
OF THE REMAINING REFUGEES,
150
00:11:49,242 --> 00:11:51,811
THOSE WHO WANT TO STAY
WITH DAVID IN THE CAVES
151
00:11:51,911 --> 00:11:54,080
MUST LEARN TO SURVIVE, HUNT,
152
00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:56,649
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
DEFEND THEMSELVES.
153
00:11:58,918 --> 00:12:01,754
SAUL WOULD STOP AT NOTHING
TO FIND AND KILL DAVID
154
00:12:01,854 --> 00:12:04,290
AND ALL OF THOSE
WHO SIDE WITH HIM.
155
00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:19,606
Why have you and the son of
Jesse conspired against me?
156
00:12:23,543 --> 00:12:25,611
Why did you give him food
157
00:12:25,612 --> 00:12:27,481
and a sword?
158
00:12:28,548 --> 00:12:31,418
Why have you
consulted God for him?
159
00:12:32,385 --> 00:12:33,887
Why have you
encouraged him to kill me,
160
00:12:33,987 --> 00:12:36,857
as he is trying to do
this very day?
161
00:12:36,956 --> 00:12:38,958
But sir,
162
00:12:39,058 --> 00:12:43,863
is anyone among all your
servants as faithful as David,
163
00:12:43,963 --> 00:12:45,932
your son-in-law?
164
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:50,135
Why, he’s captain
of your bodyguard
165
00:12:50,136 --> 00:12:52,639
and an honored
member of your household!
166
00:12:53,906 --> 00:12:57,343
Certainly not the first time
I have consulted God for him?
167
00:13:05,752 --> 00:13:09,756
May the king
not accuse me and my family
168
00:13:09,856 --> 00:13:12,125
in this matter,
169
00:13:13,326 --> 00:13:16,996
for we had no idea
of a plot against you.
170
00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:31,244
Kneel before your King.
171
00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:37,650
We shall not kneel.
172
00:13:44,023 --> 00:13:47,859
You will surely die, Ahimelech,
you and all of your kind.
173
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:51,330
King Saul?!
What do you speak of?
174
00:13:57,170 --> 00:13:58,872
Kill them all.
175
00:14:05,345 --> 00:14:06,813
You heard me!
176
00:14:06,913 --> 00:14:08,815
Do as commanded.
You and your men.
177
00:14:10,350 --> 00:14:11,885
My king?
178
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,721
You want us to strike
down the Priests of the Lord?
179
00:14:15,722 --> 00:14:18,391
Yes. Of course!
180
00:14:18,491 --> 00:14:22,561
They are all allies
and conspirators with David!
181
00:14:22,562 --> 00:14:24,297
They knew he was
running away from me,
182
00:14:24,397 --> 00:14:26,165
but they didn’t tell me!
183
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,435
My king...
184
00:14:29,902 --> 00:14:32,772
I will not raise a hand
against the Lord’s priests.
185
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:35,408
Nor will any of my men.
186
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,416
You betray your King!
187
00:14:50,690 --> 00:14:56,896
Saul has killed his thousands
and David his tens of thousand.
188
00:15:15,014 --> 00:15:19,484
WHILE SAUL RAGES AGAINST THE
PRIEST OF NOB, WORD REACHES SAL
189
00:15:19,485 --> 00:15:22,021
THAT THE PHILISTINES
ARE ONCE AGAIN ON THE MOVE.
190
00:15:22,121 --> 00:15:25,691
ISRAEL’S ENEMY IS ABOUT TO
INVADE, AT A TIME SAUL’S ARMIES
191
00:15:25,792 --> 00:15:28,595
ARE WEAK
AND UNPREPARED FOR BATTLE.
192
00:15:40,673 --> 00:15:44,676
ANTICIPATING HIS FATE,
AHIMELECH REMOVES THE EPHOD
193
00:15:44,677 --> 00:15:47,847
USED BY ALL HIGH PRIESTS
SINCE THE TIME OF AARON
194
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:49,816
TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOD,
195
00:15:49,916 --> 00:15:53,286
AND GIVES IT
TO HIS SON ABIATHAR.
196
00:16:02,895 --> 00:16:04,630
Commander...
197
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:09,669
Kill these men.
198
00:16:10,403 --> 00:16:12,038
My king...
199
00:16:12,138 --> 00:16:16,009
Our enemies are gathering
to invade. We need to prepare.
200
00:16:16,108 --> 00:16:20,111
Enough of this talk of...
killing priests.
201
00:16:20,112 --> 00:16:22,347
I am surrounded by cowards!
202
00:16:22,348 --> 00:16:25,084
Are there none here
who will obey my orders?
203
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:28,354
Or do you all side with David?
204
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:34,560
You!
205
00:16:35,495 --> 00:16:37,197
Here. You do it.
206
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:40,767
Strike down the priests!
207
00:16:40,867 --> 00:16:43,169
You and your men
will be greatly rewarded.
208
00:17:02,021 --> 00:17:05,324
Serve the one
who serves the Lord.
209
00:17:07,226 --> 00:17:08,861
Run!
210
00:17:13,366 --> 00:17:16,002
The Lord God shall judge you!
211
00:17:23,376 --> 00:17:25,044
My king.
212
00:17:53,172 --> 00:17:56,976
AS DEMONIC WHISPERS
MIX WITH THE SOUNDS OF DEATH,
213
00:17:57,076 --> 00:18:00,880
THE KING OF ISRAEL HAS INVITED
HELL INTO HIS THRONE ROOM.
214
00:18:04,116 --> 00:18:06,986
IN ORDER TO FINALIZE
SAUL’S EVIL EDICT,
215
00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:08,888
DOEG THE EDOMITE AND HIS MEN
216
00:18:08,988 --> 00:18:11,123
RETURN TO
THE HOLY VILLAGE OF NOB.
217
00:18:11,223 --> 00:18:16,295
AND ON KING SAUL’S ORDERS THEY
KILL EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHIL.
218
00:18:17,363 --> 00:18:21,300
THEY KILL INFANTS,
CATTLE, DONKEYS AND SHEEP.
219
00:18:24,170 --> 00:18:26,137
The wiping out
of the priests of Nob
220
00:18:26,138 --> 00:18:28,474
is one of the darkest
episodes in the Bible.
221
00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:32,678
Of all the crimes that Saul
commits, it’s by far the worst.
222
00:18:33,846 --> 00:18:37,849
And it only-- again,
it shows the extent of where,
223
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:40,519
when someone thinks
that they know better than God,
224
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:42,654
which is the genesis
of Saul’s problem,
225
00:18:42,655 --> 00:18:45,625
we see the places
that it can lead one to.
226
00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:48,995
The atrocious thing,
the horrific thing is
227
00:18:49,095 --> 00:18:53,665
those insecurities lead to
the assassination of godly men
228
00:18:53,666 --> 00:18:56,569
and the whole family line.
Only one escapes.
229
00:18:56,669 --> 00:18:58,637
It is a terrible thing.
230
00:18:58,638 --> 00:19:01,307
They acted in good conscience
231
00:19:01,407 --> 00:19:04,577
and doing the right thing,
232
00:19:04,677 --> 00:19:07,547
and Saul misinterpreted.
233
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:09,681
He was being led by fear,
234
00:19:09,682 --> 00:19:12,183
not by truth, not by principle.
235
00:19:12,184 --> 00:19:16,822
By fear, and when fear
guides us, lives get destroyed.
236
00:19:17,857 --> 00:19:20,325
AFTER FINDING THEIR WAY
TO DAVID, THE THREE...
237
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:21,994
DAVID’S MOST ELITE WARRIORS,
238
00:19:22,094 --> 00:19:24,029
REPORT THAT WHILE SAUL
OBSESSED OVER DAVID,
239
00:19:24,130 --> 00:19:26,366
AND WAS THREATENING
THE PRIESTS OF NOB,
240
00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:30,735
THE PHILISTINES HAD LAID SIEGE
TO THE ISRAELITE CITY OF KEILA.
241
00:19:30,736 --> 00:19:33,872
THE CITY IS THE MAIN
FOOD SUPPLIER OF THE REGION .
242
00:19:33,973 --> 00:19:36,609
THOUSANDS OF ISRAELITES
ARE AT RISK OF STARVATION
243
00:19:36,709 --> 00:19:39,178
IF ACTION ISN’T TAKEN SOON.
244
00:19:40,479 --> 00:19:43,214
WHAT’S MORE, DAVID AND
THE THREE SOON COME TO LEARN
245
00:19:43,215 --> 00:19:45,284
THAT SAUL HAD
GONE THROUGH WITH HIS THREATS,
246
00:19:45,384 --> 00:19:49,188
WHEN THEY ARE JOINED BY THE ONY
SURVIVOR OF THE PRIESTS OF NOB,
247
00:19:49,288 --> 00:19:52,658
THE HIGH PRIEST’S SON, ABIATHA.
248
00:20:05,738 --> 00:20:07,006
David!
249
00:20:19,151 --> 00:20:21,920
The king has killed my father...
250
00:20:23,956 --> 00:20:25,858
and all of our kind.
251
00:20:28,728 --> 00:20:32,699
I am the last
of our clan of priests.
252
00:20:39,572 --> 00:20:43,109
I knew on that day that
Doeg the Edomite was there...
253
00:20:44,543 --> 00:20:47,679
and that he would
certainly inform Saul.
254
00:20:49,782 --> 00:20:53,619
I am responsible for the death
of your father’s whole family.
255
00:20:56,689 --> 00:20:58,424
Forgive me.
256
00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:02,961
The man who is seeking your life
257
00:21:02,962 --> 00:21:04,897
is also seeking mine.
258
00:21:09,568 --> 00:21:11,603
You will be safe with me...
259
00:21:13,105 --> 00:21:14,473
I swear it.
260
00:21:17,376 --> 00:21:20,679
DAVID ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE MASSACRE OF THE PRIESTS
261
00:21:20,780 --> 00:21:22,582
AND ASKS FOR FORGIVENESS.
262
00:21:23,616 --> 00:21:25,118
DAVID IS QUICK TO DISPLAY
A LEADERSHIP TRAIT
263
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:27,852
THAT HAS LONG BEEN LACKING
IN THE HOUSE OF SAUL...
264
00:21:27,853 --> 00:21:29,355
HUMILITY.
265
00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:32,558
THIS FURTHER ENDEARS THE THREE
AND THE OUTLAWS TO DAVID.
266
00:21:33,626 --> 00:21:35,995
THIS FUTURE KING CAN BE TRUSTE.
267
00:21:43,502 --> 00:21:47,539
As David’s in the cave,
Abiathar comes to him.
268
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,609
He’s the last of
all these priests who...
269
00:21:51,610 --> 00:21:53,812
who were slaughtered.
270
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:59,050
And David commits to him
and makes him his priest,
271
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:02,421
his high priest, if you will,
for the rest of his days.
272
00:22:02,521 --> 00:22:04,522
There was a commitment.
273
00:22:04,523 --> 00:22:06,357
And there was a unity there.
274
00:22:06,358 --> 00:22:09,294
And there was also a recognitin
275
00:22:09,395 --> 00:22:13,199
that this position
in his group was important.
276
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,669
You think about it,
he needed soldiers...
277
00:22:16,769 --> 00:22:19,138
and he’s saying,
this is my priest.
278
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,508
You have cast your lot with mine
279
00:22:23,509 --> 00:22:25,811
in hopes of finding
a better life.
280
00:22:28,547 --> 00:22:32,451
I cannot say I am the one
to lead you to that better life.
281
00:22:33,385 --> 00:22:35,354
Look where you find me?
282
00:22:36,388 --> 00:22:39,091
Hiding in a hole
like a lost and frightened lamb
283
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:42,361
waiting for the lion
to have his way.
284
00:22:43,462 --> 00:22:46,365
Is that the same fate
you wish upon yourselves?
285
00:22:53,572 --> 00:22:57,109
For those of you who think
I plan to lead an insurrection
286
00:22:57,209 --> 00:22:59,410
against King Saul...
287
00:22:59,411 --> 00:23:01,513
know now that will never happen.
288
00:23:03,816 --> 00:23:07,219
No matter if he pursues me
to the ends of the earth
289
00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:11,390
I will not harm
God’s anointed King of Israel.
290
00:23:17,429 --> 00:23:19,932
God will be his judge...
291
00:23:20,933 --> 00:23:22,768
Not I.
292
00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:35,980
Should you choose to stay with
me, you will take that same vow.
293
00:23:35,981 --> 00:23:37,850
So...
294
00:23:39,952 --> 00:23:42,121
if you won’t fight your enemy,
295
00:23:43,088 --> 00:23:45,257
what is your plan?
296
00:23:46,225 --> 00:23:51,764
Hide in your hole
until the lion pounces?
297
00:23:52,765 --> 00:23:54,533
I did not say
I will not fight the enemy.
298
00:23:55,567 --> 00:23:58,804
I said I will not fight
God’s anointed king.
299
00:24:13,986 --> 00:24:18,157
I took an oath to defend
Israel from her enemies.
300
00:24:20,092 --> 00:24:22,094
I plan on keeping that vow.
301
00:24:23,629 --> 00:24:28,033
Should you choose to stay with
me you will take that same vow.
302
00:25:02,935 --> 00:25:05,337
You’re going to lead
this bunch into battle?
303
00:25:07,373 --> 00:25:09,475
If the Lord commands.
304
00:25:36,502 --> 00:25:38,736
THE LORD CONFIRMS
THAT DAVID SHOULD LEAD
305
00:25:38,737 --> 00:25:41,873
HIS BAND OF RAG TAG OUTLAWS
TO ATTACK THE PHILISTINES,
306
00:25:41,974 --> 00:25:44,543
WHO HAD CAPTURED
THE ISRAELITE CITY OF KEILAH.
307
00:25:45,644 --> 00:25:47,379
ALTHOUGH MANY
ARE NOT TRAINED WARRIORS,
308
00:25:47,479 --> 00:25:50,082
THE MEN ARE EMBOLDENED
BY THE WORD OF THE LORD
309
00:25:50,182 --> 00:25:53,419
AND BY THE BRAVERY
OF DAVID AND THE THREE.
310
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,087
DAVID’S ARMY FIGHTS FIERCELY
311
00:25:55,187 --> 00:25:57,756
AND DOES WHAT KING SAUL
HAD FAILED TO DO.
312
00:25:57,856 --> 00:26:01,026
THEY FIGHT TO FREE THE PEOPLE
OF ISRAEL FROM THEIR ENEMY.
313
00:26:03,262 --> 00:26:07,298
GOD GIVES A MIRACULOUS VICTORY
TO DAVID AND HIS RENEGADE ARMY.
314
00:26:07,299 --> 00:26:09,168
THE PHILISTINES ARE OVERCOME
315
00:26:09,268 --> 00:26:12,905
AND THE CITY OF KEILAH
IS RETURNED TO HER PEOPLE.
316
00:26:13,906 --> 00:26:16,941
The job of a lion
is to defend the pack.
317
00:26:16,942 --> 00:26:20,179
David, the descendant of Judah,
318
00:26:20,279 --> 00:26:22,146
will be a great leader
319
00:26:22,147 --> 00:26:26,050
because he feels as we see from
the very beginning of the story
320
00:26:26,051 --> 00:26:28,186
in the stand against Goliath
321
00:26:28,287 --> 00:26:33,325
a covenantal responsibility
for the entire people.
322
00:26:34,460 --> 00:26:37,328
He’s not just the leader
of the pack, if you will,
323
00:26:37,329 --> 00:26:40,599
he is the defender of the pack.
324
00:26:41,934 --> 00:26:46,804
That’s why Judah, and ultimately
the monarchy of Judah,
325
00:26:46,805 --> 00:26:48,774
is compared to a lion.
326
00:26:50,409 --> 00:26:53,144
WORD OF THE MIGHTY DEEDS OF
DAVID THE WARLORD
327
00:26:53,145 --> 00:26:55,447
SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE KINGDOM.
328
00:26:56,582 --> 00:27:00,653
He had a Special Forces
that was a core of his army.
329
00:27:00,752 --> 00:27:03,321
In places in scripture,
it will recount
330
00:27:03,322 --> 00:27:05,423
the great feats of these people
331
00:27:05,424 --> 00:27:07,992
and it’s amazing, the kinds
of things that they did.
332
00:27:07,993 --> 00:27:11,362
And so, he starts with three
and he ends up in his life
333
00:27:11,363 --> 00:27:13,664
with the Special Force
of thirty or more.
334
00:27:13,665 --> 00:27:17,602
All powerful,
committed warriors.
335
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:23,209
WHEN KING SAUL HEARS OF DAVID’S
VICTORY OVER THE PHILISTINES,
336
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:25,644
HE QUICKLY MOBILIZES AN ARMY.
337
00:27:25,744 --> 00:27:27,411
AN ARMY NOT TO AID DAVID
338
00:27:27,412 --> 00:27:30,314
WITH THE LIBERATION
AND REBUILDING OF KEILAH,
339
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:34,219
BUT AN ARMY TO CAPTURE AND KILL
DAVID AND HIS REBEL ARMY.
340
00:27:36,522 --> 00:27:37,990
They are near!
341
00:27:38,090 --> 00:27:40,759
Just on the other side of
the canyon. Thousands of them!
342
00:27:41,660 --> 00:27:43,128
Our men are too tired
to keep running.
343
00:27:43,228 --> 00:27:45,664
And definitely too
tired to fight that number.
344
00:28:21,900 --> 00:28:24,770
Wait here.
I need to relieve myself.
345
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:26,372
Guards!
346
00:28:27,005 --> 00:28:28,507
- Let me alone!
- Go.
347
00:28:30,075 --> 00:28:31,977
- My king.
- I said leave me!
348
00:28:54,499 --> 00:28:56,001
The Lord
has answered your prayers
349
00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:57,603
and given your enemy
over to you.
350
00:28:57,703 --> 00:29:00,005
This is a very good thing.
351
00:29:00,105 --> 00:29:01,473
David’s followers,
they’re egging him on.
352
00:29:01,573 --> 00:29:04,775
They’re, like, go get him! This
is the moment God has given you.
353
00:29:04,776 --> 00:29:06,277
We’ve all been waiting
for this moment.
354
00:29:06,278 --> 00:29:09,281
Here it is. Go kill Saul.
355
00:29:11,216 --> 00:29:13,385
David, what do you want to do?
356
00:30:11,977 --> 00:30:13,245
And the people, they’re upset.
357
00:30:13,345 --> 00:30:14,880
They’re, like,
we’re living on the run.
358
00:30:14,980 --> 00:30:16,949
And they viewed this
as a golden opportunity.
359
00:30:17,049 --> 00:30:20,685
And David tells him no.
That’s just not how we do it.
360
00:30:20,686 --> 00:30:22,853
Right? That’s not how
I’m going to become king.
361
00:30:22,854 --> 00:30:25,590
That is--
We will not have a hand
362
00:30:25,691 --> 00:30:28,492
in taking out
the king of Israel.
363
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:30,394
The anointed of God.
364
00:30:30,395 --> 00:30:32,397
My lord! My king!
365
00:30:35,567 --> 00:30:38,403
Is that your voice,
David, my son?
366
00:30:39,371 --> 00:30:43,742
Look, Father,
at what I have in my hand.
367
00:30:43,842 --> 00:30:46,445
It is a piece
of the hem of your robe!
368
00:30:46,545 --> 00:30:49,281
I cut it off,
but I didn’t kill you.
369
00:30:50,282 --> 00:30:52,751
This proves that
I am not trying to harm you.
370
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:54,352
I have not wronged you,
371
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:57,690
and yet you are
hunting me down to take my life!
372
00:31:00,559 --> 00:31:04,395
May the Lord judge
which one of us is right
373
00:31:04,396 --> 00:31:06,031
and punish the guilty one.
374
00:31:07,299 --> 00:31:11,036
He is my advocate, and He will
rescue me from your power.
375
00:31:14,940 --> 00:31:16,809
My son, David.
376
00:31:18,744 --> 00:31:21,580
You are a better man than I am,
377
00:31:22,447 --> 00:31:25,250
for you have
repaid me good for evil.
378
00:31:26,318 --> 00:31:27,686
Indeed, you have been
very kind to me today,
379
00:31:27,786 --> 00:31:29,588
for when the Lord
put me in a place
380
00:31:29,688 --> 00:31:32,391
where you could have
killed me, you didn’t do it.
381
00:31:35,093 --> 00:31:37,762
Who else would have
let his enemy get away
382
00:31:37,763 --> 00:31:39,465
when he had him in his power?
383
00:31:40,432 --> 00:31:41,932
May the Lord reward you well
384
00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:44,436
for the kindness
you have shown me today.
385
00:31:46,638 --> 00:31:48,939
The complexity
and tragedy of Saul
386
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:52,010
lies in the split
at the center of his soul.
387
00:31:53,345 --> 00:31:55,646
On the one hand,
he tries to kill David,
388
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:59,818
on the other hand, when David
confronts him in the desert,
389
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:03,487
he weeps and pronounces
his love for David.
390
00:32:03,488 --> 00:32:05,757
Which one is it?
Does he want to murder David,
391
00:32:05,857 --> 00:32:09,794
or does he love David? Both.
392
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:17,202
And now I realize...
393
00:32:18,103 --> 00:32:20,772
that you will surely be king.
394
00:32:23,675 --> 00:32:27,145
And that the kingdom of Israel
will flourish under your rule.
395
00:32:30,982 --> 00:32:34,118
Swear to me now by the Lord
that when that day comes
396
00:32:34,219 --> 00:32:36,821
you will not kill my family
397
00:32:36,822 --> 00:32:39,792
and destroy
my line of descendants.
398
00:32:49,067 --> 00:32:52,370
I give you my oath, my king,
399
00:32:52,471 --> 00:32:54,573
that I will forever honor
400
00:32:54,673 --> 00:32:57,709
and bring no harm
to the House of Saul.
401
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:03,482
Good.
402
00:33:05,650 --> 00:33:08,153
Good, my son. Then this...
403
00:33:09,621 --> 00:33:11,690
Then this matter is settled.
404
00:33:17,529 --> 00:33:19,530
Picture that type of pressure
in that situation,
405
00:33:19,531 --> 00:33:20,699
where you’re on the run.
406
00:33:20,799 --> 00:33:23,734
And you’re all
a bunch of tough guy warriors,
407
00:33:23,735 --> 00:33:26,504
and Saul’s trying to kill him,
and we’re hiding from him,
408
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:29,006
and then, oh my gosh,
we’re here. Victory’s at hand,
409
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:31,243
and David’s like, no,
we’re not going to do that.
410
00:33:31,343 --> 00:33:35,347
David’s leadership comes through
big time. With these guys.
411
00:33:35,447 --> 00:33:38,582
Especially if you picture
the type of people they are.
412
00:33:38,583 --> 00:33:41,886
And David is--
David molds them...
413
00:33:42,721 --> 00:33:45,257
into righteous men.
414
00:33:45,357 --> 00:33:47,159
They didn’t start out
as righteous men.
415
00:33:47,259 --> 00:33:49,693
But he molds them
into his people.
416
00:33:49,694 --> 00:33:51,763
And they become the leadership.
417
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:53,331
They become the people around
David,
418
00:33:53,431 --> 00:33:55,400
his trusted advisors
and his military leaders
419
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:57,302
that we see
later on in his kingship.
420
00:33:57,402 --> 00:33:59,537
They all come out of that grou.
421
00:34:02,474 --> 00:34:05,911
A broken and weary King Saul
leaves David in the desert
422
00:34:06,011 --> 00:34:09,515
and leads his men back home
to his capital city of Gibeah.
423
00:34:10,815 --> 00:34:13,051
David has learned not to trust
the promise of the volatile king
424
00:34:13,151 --> 00:34:15,720
so he remains in the wilderness
with his warriors.
425
00:34:16,988 --> 00:34:19,791
Back in the town of Ramah,
the prophet Samuel,
426
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:22,560
who anointed David
as the future king,
427
00:34:22,561 --> 00:34:24,329
is dying.
428
00:34:36,841 --> 00:34:39,944
One of the most important
verses in the book of Samuel,
429
00:34:40,045 --> 00:34:41,445
about Samuel,
430
00:34:41,446 --> 00:34:45,116
is the description of how
he spent his time as leader.
431
00:34:45,216 --> 00:34:46,951
He would make a circuit
432
00:34:46,952 --> 00:34:50,422
going all the way around
the Holy Land.
433
00:34:50,522 --> 00:34:52,823
Every year
was living for others,
434
00:34:52,824 --> 00:34:55,527
every year was fostering unity.
435
00:34:56,528 --> 00:34:59,231
Samuel’s greatest gift
was restoring unity.
436
00:35:12,143 --> 00:35:16,280
ISRAEL’S LAST AND GREATEST
JUDGE, THE RIGHTEOUS SAMUEL,
437
00:35:16,281 --> 00:35:19,851
WHO SERVED GOD
WITHOUT QUESTION, IS GONE.
438
00:35:19,951 --> 00:35:22,687
ALL OF ISRAEL MOURNS THE LOSS.
439
00:35:25,090 --> 00:35:30,094
DAVID, MEANWHILE, LEADS HIS MEN
DEEP INTO THE DESERT OF MAON.
440
00:35:30,095 --> 00:35:33,231
HE MUST LEARN TO SURVIVE
AND PROVIDE FOR HIS MEN.
441
00:35:33,331 --> 00:35:34,999
IN RETURN FOR PAYMENT,
442
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,869
THEY PROVIDE PROTECTION
FOR THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL,
443
00:35:36,968 --> 00:35:40,171
WHO LIVE IN THESE REMOTE
AND DANGEROUS PLACES.
444
00:35:40,271 --> 00:35:44,976
PROTECTION FROM BANDITS, FOREIN
ENEMIES AND EVEN WILD ANIMALS.
445
00:35:47,412 --> 00:35:50,014
ONE OF THOSE UNDER DAVID’S
PROTECTION IS NABAL,
446
00:35:50,015 --> 00:35:54,018
A HARSH BARON WHO RULES OVER
HIS VAST PROPERTIES AND SLAVES
447
00:35:54,019 --> 00:35:55,954
WITH ARROGANCE AND CRUELTY.
448
00:35:57,122 --> 00:36:00,691
HIS VERY NAME, "NABAL,"
MEANS "PIGGISH," OR, "FOOLISH."
449
00:36:00,692 --> 00:36:02,360
HE IS BOTH.
450
00:36:05,497 --> 00:36:08,433
Hurry it up, you lazy asses!
451
00:36:08,533 --> 00:36:12,737
My merchants lose patience
while you piss away the day!
452
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:16,107
Must I do everything myself?!
453
00:36:18,143 --> 00:36:22,314
Wine! Fetch me
more wine, you daft half-wit!
454
00:36:26,184 --> 00:36:30,221
Come now, husband.
Such behavior is beneath you.
455
00:36:31,222 --> 00:36:32,924
Carmi, go to the well
and get cleaned up.
456
00:36:33,024 --> 00:36:35,193
I will get the master’s wine.
457
00:36:36,361 --> 00:36:38,530
Your servant girl
is thick in the head!
458
00:36:39,931 --> 00:36:41,466
You must show strength
459
00:36:41,566 --> 00:36:43,768
or they’ll turn on you
like a caged beast!
460
00:36:44,936 --> 00:36:46,604
I’ve warned you of this before.
461
00:36:46,705 --> 00:36:48,941
You’d do well
to listen to me, wife!
462
00:36:49,507 --> 00:36:51,175
Of course, Nabal.
463
00:36:52,143 --> 00:36:54,379
- And bring a carafe!
- Of course, husband.
464
00:37:13,765 --> 00:37:15,433
We come to you
on behalf of David.
465
00:37:16,935 --> 00:37:19,970
He says long life and
shalom to you, your family,
466
00:37:19,971 --> 00:37:21,873
and everything you own.
467
00:37:24,209 --> 00:37:26,244
David heard that
it’s sheep shearing time.
468
00:37:27,212 --> 00:37:28,812
In the spirit
of this celebration,
469
00:37:28,813 --> 00:37:33,184
and for all the protection we
provided you and your property,
470
00:37:33,284 --> 00:37:34,785
would you please share,
471
00:37:34,786 --> 00:37:38,256
what you can,
with us and your friend David?
472
00:37:47,432 --> 00:37:49,935
Who is this, David?
473
00:37:52,604 --> 00:37:55,207
Another servant
on the run from his master?!
474
00:37:57,842 --> 00:38:02,280
Why must I take my bread,
my water, my meat...
475
00:38:02,380 --> 00:38:06,751
and give it to a band of outlaws
on the run from who knows where?
476
00:38:10,221 --> 00:38:16,127
Now, take your vagrants
and get off my land!
477
00:38:25,470 --> 00:38:28,807
We will report back to David
exactly what you have said.
478
00:38:56,534 --> 00:38:58,669
I hear we had visitors?
479
00:38:59,804 --> 00:39:02,340
Beggars sent
from that outcast, David.
480
00:39:03,508 --> 00:39:05,342
- And what did you say to them?
- Enough questions!
481
00:39:05,343 --> 00:39:07,345
This is no business of a wife!
482
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:09,447
Quit your jabbering
and leave me in peace!
483
00:39:10,915 --> 00:39:14,385
One of the remarkable things
about the biblical story
484
00:39:14,485 --> 00:39:17,221
is that the voice of women
are frequently heard.
485
00:39:17,222 --> 00:39:21,259
It’s almost nowhere else found
in ancient literature,
486
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:25,029
and one of the voices
that we hear is that of Abigail.
487
00:39:25,663 --> 00:39:27,665
She’s an amazing woman.
488
00:39:28,900 --> 00:39:30,468
Get the donkey.
489
00:39:30,568 --> 00:39:32,102
No!
490
00:39:32,103 --> 00:39:35,572
Go the back way. Do not let
the master see you. Be quick.
491
00:39:35,573 --> 00:39:38,776
She’s very wise, and she
understands that her husband
492
00:39:38,877 --> 00:39:40,645
is making a foolish decision.
493
00:39:41,713 --> 00:39:45,217
David lost it. He became angry.
494
00:39:46,484 --> 00:39:50,087
He felt like his rightful
response was not given to him
495
00:39:50,088 --> 00:39:52,956
and the normal self-control
496
00:39:52,957 --> 00:39:56,627
that we’ve seen him display
on several occasions
497
00:39:56,728 --> 00:39:58,396
was not there.
498
00:39:58,496 --> 00:39:59,497
Ah!
499
00:40:00,965 --> 00:40:04,101
After all that we’ve done for
him this is how we’re repaid?
500
00:40:04,669 --> 00:40:05,936
Get your weapons!
501
00:40:05,937 --> 00:40:08,405
By morning,
there will not be one male alive
502
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:11,509
that belongs to
this fat and repulsive man!
503
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:48,011
AS DAVID AND HIS MEN
APPROACH THE HOUSE OF NABAL
504
00:40:48,012 --> 00:40:49,380
WITH LETHAL INTENT,
505
00:40:50,081 --> 00:40:51,449
ABIGAIL AND HER SERVANT GIRL
506
00:40:51,549 --> 00:40:53,451
ARE THE ONLY ONES
STANDING IN THE WAY
507
00:40:53,551 --> 00:40:55,086
OF DAVID’S WRATH AND SWORD.
508
00:41:20,411 --> 00:41:24,415
It’s all my fault, my lord,
all my fault!
509
00:41:25,149 --> 00:41:28,252
Please, let your servant speak
510
00:41:28,353 --> 00:41:30,188
and listen to what
I have to say.
511
00:41:33,324 --> 00:41:37,495
I know Nabal is
a wicked and ill-tempered man.
512
00:41:38,496 --> 00:41:41,331
Please, don’t pay
any attention to him.
513
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:44,769
He is a fool,
just as his name suggests.
514
00:41:46,337 --> 00:41:49,207
I didn’t see the men you sent...
515
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:56,547
but, please, take this gift
of food that I’ve brought
516
00:41:56,647 --> 00:41:58,682
and share it with your men.
517
00:42:00,852 --> 00:42:03,021
Please, forgive me
if I say a little more.
518
00:42:05,923 --> 00:42:11,162
The Lord will always
protect you and your dynasty,
519
00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:14,365
because you fight for Him.
520
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,702
I pray that you
won’t do anything evil
521
00:42:17,802 --> 00:42:19,537
as long as you live.
522
00:42:20,605 --> 00:42:23,007
The Lord your God
will keep you safe
523
00:42:23,107 --> 00:42:25,142
when your enemies
try to kill you,
524
00:42:25,243 --> 00:42:28,413
their lives will disappear
like stones from a sling!
525
00:42:29,914 --> 00:42:33,250
When the Lord
has done all He has promised
526
00:42:33,251 --> 00:42:37,122
and has made you
leader of Israel,
527
00:42:38,056 --> 00:42:41,893
don’t let this
be an obstacle to you,
528
00:42:43,227 --> 00:42:46,864
and your conscience won’t have
to bear the staggering burden of
529
00:42:46,964 --> 00:42:50,901
needless bloodshed
and vengeance.
530
00:42:51,002 --> 00:42:55,272
Do not lose
the blessing of the Lord
531
00:42:55,273 --> 00:42:58,610
over the death
of my foolish husband
532
00:42:59,744 --> 00:43:01,246
Please.
533
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:05,516
Abigail, she has the confidenc.
And also, the sense of purpose.
534
00:43:05,616 --> 00:43:08,085
Just like David had.
Just like Jonathan had.
535
00:43:08,086 --> 00:43:10,121
She understood in that moment,
536
00:43:10,221 --> 00:43:12,556
that God was calling her
to do something
537
00:43:12,557 --> 00:43:15,158
that would ultimately ensure
538
00:43:15,159 --> 00:43:17,762
that David becomes the person
who he was meant to become.
539
00:43:17,862 --> 00:43:19,731
In this briefly recorded story
in the Bible,
540
00:43:19,831 --> 00:43:22,934
in the life of David, perhaps,
were among the most significant.
541
00:43:23,801 --> 00:43:27,605
Thank God for your good sense.
542
00:43:28,739 --> 00:43:30,974
May you be blessed
for your good judgment
543
00:43:30,975 --> 00:43:34,078
and for keeping me
from bloodshed on this day
544
00:43:34,178 --> 00:43:37,648
and from avenging myself
with my own hands.
545
00:43:37,748 --> 00:43:39,550
If you had not
hurried out to meet me,
546
00:43:39,650 --> 00:43:42,786
not one of Nabal’s men would
still be alive tomorrow morning.
547
00:43:45,323 --> 00:43:48,827
Go home in peace.
I have heard you.
548
00:43:51,162 --> 00:43:53,331
I will not kill your husband.
549
00:43:56,667 --> 00:43:58,202
My lord!
550
00:43:59,971 --> 00:44:01,673
Yes?
551
00:44:06,010 --> 00:44:07,478
Remember me.
552
00:44:09,947 --> 00:44:12,116
And what is the name
I’m to remember?
553
00:44:12,683 --> 00:44:14,318
My name is Abigail.
554
00:44:15,086 --> 00:44:17,388
Abigail... I will remember you.
555
00:44:41,145 --> 00:44:44,414
THE NEXT MORNING ABIGAIL
INFORMS THE NOW SOBER NABAL
556
00:44:44,415 --> 00:44:46,850
THAT SHE TALKED DAVID
OUT OF KILLING HIM
557
00:44:46,851 --> 00:44:49,554
AND DESTROYING
THE HOUSE OF NABAL.
558
00:44:50,721 --> 00:44:53,324
You are a fool, Nabal.
And you almost got us killed!
559
00:44:54,992 --> 00:44:57,495
Do you hear me, Nabal?
You almost got us killed!
560
00:45:10,541 --> 00:45:12,242
From the eighteenth psalm,
561
00:45:12,243 --> 00:45:13,543
to the faithful,
562
00:45:13,544 --> 00:45:15,546
you show yourself faithful.
563
00:45:15,646 --> 00:45:16,714
To the blameless,
564
00:45:16,814 --> 00:45:18,582
you show yourself blameless.
565
00:45:18,583 --> 00:45:22,285
To the pure,
you show yourself pure.
566
00:45:22,286 --> 00:45:25,289
But to the crooked,
you show yourself shrewd.
567
00:45:25,389 --> 00:45:26,757
You save the humble,
568
00:45:26,857 --> 00:45:29,727
but bring low those
whose eyes are haughty.
569
00:45:30,728 --> 00:45:33,064
Word reaches David
that Nabal is dead.
570
00:45:33,164 --> 00:45:36,566
David immediately sends his men
to Abigail with a message
571
00:45:36,567 --> 00:45:38,769
and a question.
572
00:45:39,937 --> 00:45:42,573
THE MESSAGE IS THAT DAVID
DID NOT FORGET HIS PROMISE
573
00:45:42,673 --> 00:45:44,642
TO REMEMBER ABIGAIL.
574
00:45:44,742 --> 00:45:48,112
AND THE QUESTION IS,
WILL YOU BE MY WIFE?
575
00:46:01,726 --> 00:46:05,463
THE COURAGEOUS DAVID AND ABIGAL
ARE MARRIED BEFORE THE LORD,
576
00:46:05,563 --> 00:46:09,567
FORMING A POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP
IN THE LEADING OF THEIR PEOPLE.
577
00:46:23,447 --> 00:46:26,950
In Abigail, David has found
a wise and courageous partner.
578
00:46:26,951 --> 00:46:28,318
Important qualities,
579
00:46:28,319 --> 00:46:31,189
as King Saul’s
pursuit of David is relentless.
580
00:46:31,289 --> 00:46:33,057
He must now find
a place of safety
581
00:46:33,157 --> 00:46:35,192
for his ever-expanding army.
582
00:46:35,293 --> 00:46:38,128
A place where David and his men
can be with their wives
583
00:46:38,129 --> 00:46:39,430
and start families.
584
00:46:54,545 --> 00:46:56,112
IN DESPERATION,
585
00:46:56,113 --> 00:46:58,515
DAVID DECIDES TO OFFER
HIS SWORD AND ARMY
586
00:46:58,516 --> 00:47:01,352
TO THE PHILISTINE ENEMY,
KING ACHISH.
587
00:47:09,660 --> 00:47:13,363
DAVID ASKS IF IN EXCHANGE
FOR HIS MERCENARY ARMY,
588
00:47:13,364 --> 00:47:15,832
THE PHILISTINE KING WOULD
GIVE REFUGE FOR THE FAMILIES
589
00:47:15,833 --> 00:47:17,535
OF DAVID’S MEN.
590
00:47:23,140 --> 00:47:25,676
It seems that David’s
not only gambling with his life
591
00:47:25,776 --> 00:47:28,178
as he had done before
at these very gates,
592
00:47:28,179 --> 00:47:31,214
he now appears to be gambling
with the lives of his new bride,
593
00:47:31,215 --> 00:47:34,085
his men and their families.
594
00:47:34,185 --> 00:47:36,386
But David
does not see it that way.
595
00:47:36,387 --> 00:47:38,589
For him,
this is an act of faith,
596
00:47:38,689 --> 00:47:40,056
believing that once again,
597
00:47:40,057 --> 00:47:43,027
if he steps out in boldness,
God will be faithful,
598
00:47:43,127 --> 00:47:45,895
and God’s name
will be made great.
599
00:47:45,896 --> 00:47:47,864
Join me next time
for another episode
600
00:47:47,865 --> 00:47:50,401
of "David, King of Israel."
601
00:47:54,772 --> 00:47:56,173
UP NEXT...
602
00:48:01,412 --> 00:48:02,880
A messenger from the king!
603
00:48:03,948 --> 00:48:06,083
Tell King Achish his loyal
champion is on his way.
604
00:48:07,451 --> 00:48:09,053
You cannot fight our own people.
605
00:48:09,153 --> 00:48:10,921
Fight Jonathan?
606
00:48:16,427 --> 00:48:18,462
Finally, I get to see you fight.
607
00:48:21,732 --> 00:48:24,468
The battle belongs to the Lord!
608
00:48:25,269 --> 00:48:27,104
There is a witch in Endor.
609
00:48:29,106 --> 00:48:31,475
Tell me, Witch. What do you see?
610
00:48:33,911 --> 00:48:36,746
You have
condemned yourself to death!
611
00:48:36,747 --> 00:48:46,890
I am counted among those
who go down to the pit.
