David (2025)
Directors: Brent Dawes, Phil Cunningham
Writers: Brent Dawes, Phil Cunningham
Based on: Book of Samuel
Release date: December 19, 2025
Plot: In Bethlehem, David is a young musician who tends his father Jesse’s flock of sheep. After protecting the flock from an Asian lion, David is called before Prophet Samuel, who anoints him as the future King of Israel. Samuel leaves when palace guards arrive to retrieve David to play the lyre for King Saul. David soothes Saul, who has become troubled as God has rejected him as king.
Saul is alerted when the Philistine army, led by King Achish, have arrived to battle the Israelite army. In the Valley of Elah, the Philistines bring forth their champion, Goliath, a nine-foot giant. Goliath taunts Saul, his son Jonathan, and the Israelites to summon a worthy challenger. Firm in his faith in God, David decides to challenge Goliath. Saul dresses David in his armor, but they are too oversized for him. Instead, David retrieves smooth stones from a nearby riverbank and challenges Goliath to a fight, in which he kills Goliath slinging a stone to his forehead. Inspired by David’s victory, the Israelites defeat the Philistine army.
Years later, David matures into a soldier in Saul’s army, forming a strong friendship with Jonathan. Saul learns of a nearby Amalekite site, but when the Israelite army arrives, they find the Amalekites have left. Back in the palace, as David plays his lyre, Saul remembers the incident that made him lose his kingship, by disobedience to God for sparing the Amalekites to exploit despite being ordered to slay them. He realizes David is the prophesied King, and feeling betrayed, he throws a spear at David. Saul frames David for attempted murder, in which David flees for his life. When David is cornered, Jonathan fires an arrow at a construction site, knocking down a statue of Saul, inadvertently helping David escape.
Outraged, Saul and his army pursue David, killing those who assist him. David’s family flee Bethlehem to escape persecution. He collapses in the wilderness, but is revived and takes shelter inside a cave. There, David is reunited with his family. Those inside are told of David’s prophecy, but David insists he remains loyal to Saul. Meanwhile, Saul’s army approach the cave. Dehydrated, Saul drinks from a waterfall inside. David decides to spare him and instead cuts a corner of Saul’s robe, revealing himself to Saul, who forgives David and leaves.
David’s family return to the Kingdom of Israel. Before long, the Philistines return to challenge the Israelites. David, his brother Eliab, and their warriors infiltrate the Philistine ranks to assist Saul and the Israelites. On the battlefield, they soon learn the Amalekites have attacked Ziklag, burned it, and taken the residents, including David’s family, captive. As Saul and Jonathan are defeated by the Philistines, David and his warriors find that their families have been taken by the Amalekites, blaming David.
Faithful in God’s deliverance, David approaches the Amalekites unarmed and is taken prisoner. As the Amalekite chieftain prepares to execute him, David begins to sing that he is unafraid, giving the Israelites the confidence to join in. His warriors arrive on the battlefield and liberate the Israelites. David recovers from the attempted execution shortly after, and the Israelites recognize him as their new King.

Eh, it comes with being a prophet.
Oh!
He told me very clearly
[Shimea gasping]
that I was to come to this very house and anoint a son of Jesse to be the next king.
[Nethanel and Ozem gasping]
But [sighs] it is none of these.
[Samuel chuckles]
That one had potential though. [Chuckles]
[Zeruiah giggling]
Unless, perhaps you have another son?

Oh. Oh, she’s my lamb, is she?

You can come out now.
[sheep bleating]
Don’t you want to come out?
Meet the new baby?
[Tali bleating]
[sighs] 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!

[ground rumbling]
[household murmuring]
[Nitzevet gasping]
Oh no.
[Eliab sighing]
[Nethanel] Oh, the food!
Please not the food!
[household murmuring]
[household exclaiming]
Whoa! Coming in!
Oof!
[Zeruiah] David! [Giggles]
[happy music]
[Zeruiah giggling]
[David laughing]
[goat bleating]
A goat? When did we get a goat?
Huh?
Hmm.
Er. Sh-Shalom.
It-It wasn’t me.
[goat bleating]
And if it was, I can explain.
Maybe.
Uh, what’s happening?
Remember when I told you God had big plans for you?
[Nitzevet laughing]
Well, they may have been bigger than even I thought.
[Samuel] 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.
[David scoffing]
I can’t be king.
We already have a king.
That’s right.
Which makes this treason.
[Abinadab laughing]
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.
[Brothers grumbling]
Way to go.
Way to go, David.
Boys. [Staff slamming] 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.
[apprehensive music]
They lord over us with power and pride.
[bleating]
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.
[ominous music]
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 [chuckles] is precisely who they need.
But God is my shepherd.
He’s who we need.
Every excuse you give is another reason it must be you.
But… Yes?
[David sighing]
Stand before me, son of Jesse.

So, what happens now?
Do Saul and David fight to the death?
No. No.
This is a gift that must remain secret.
[knuckles rapping]
[household gasping]
[Scout] We have heard about David’s gift.
He must come before King Saul at once.
They couldn’t have known.
What have you brought on our house?
They cannot know I’m here.
If Saul finds out about this, none of you will be safe.
[Jesse] Zeruiah, no!
[Zeruiah] Who goes there?
It is I, Princess Zeruiah.
Hmph, is David here?
Get out of here.
We’ll distract him.
ShShalom.
King Saul is greatly disturbed.
David must come with me at once.
I
I–
Look, David is.
Here.
I’m right here.
Oh, dear boy.
He is going to eat you alive.
[solemn music]
[Townsperson] Welcome to Gibeah.
[Vendor] Hey, you.
[Fruit Vendor] Strawberries!
Get your fresh picked strawberries here!
Get your fresh fruit here!
[wondrous music]
[townsfolk shouting]
[wondrous music continues]
[Builder] Here we go.
On the count of three.
Come on.
Get some more tension into that line, boys!
All right.
[Abner] Finally, you’re here!
[wondrous music]
[Townsperson 1] Where do you want this one?
[Townsperson 2] Just like that. Good, good.
[townsfolk murmuring]
Woohoohoo!
This is the one from Bethlehem, Your Grace.
Where is your instrument?
Er, instrument?
You can’t exactly play for my husband without an instrument.
Play?
And you can’t go before him like this.
What’s in your hair?
Oil?
Uh. Whoa.
[water splashes]
Whoo!
[David breathes heavy]
Sorry.
Oh, not at all.
In fact, here, why don’t you stand in front of me?
Oh, okay.
Wait a second.
Where do you think you are going?
Prince Jonathan, we really must see your father quite urgently.
Now’s really not the best time.
The affairs of state cannot be put on hold while you pacify your father’s.
[Saul] Do you think this is helping me?!
[musician whimpering]
We’ll put the affairs of state on hold now.
Clearly it’s not the best time.
What’s going on?
Saul called for every musician in the kingdom.
Music used to soothe him.
[Saul] Get out, and don’t come back!
[musician whimpering]
Yes, Your Highness.
Ah, why don’t you take my place?
Oh, please. In front of me.
No, I insist. Take my place.
Don’t let me get in your way.
Up to the front.
Ah.
Hey, kid.
What are you doing here?
[Saul] Next!
[crashing]
I guess it’s your turn.
[quiet music]
[doors slamming]
[quiet music]
[gasps] Shhhh…
[Saul mumbling]
They think a child can help me?
[somber music]
Are you going to sing, or what?
Well I… I don’t have my…
If I could just…
[Saul grunting]
Get out!
[metal clacking]
[somber music]
[David grunts]
[sighs] Next.
No, wait!
Can I borrow this? Thank you.
[scoffs] You’re going back in there?
I know right? [Laughs]
[light instrumental music]
Huh? Why are you back here?
Because now I’ve got this.
Just leave me in peace.
I’m gonna try.

[light instrumental music]
Hehehe didn’t like it.
[musicians muttering and screaming]
[Saul sighing]
[footsteps thumping]
What’s your name?
David.
Well David, I can’t remember the last time I felt like that…
[inhales sharply] Free.
You know, I never asked for this.
I didn’t want to be king.
Me neither.
I mean, I can imagine.
[scoffs] Can you, David?
One minute you’re tending your father’s donkeys, the next Samuel anoints you to be king of Israel.
[light inspirational music]
[people chattering]
And then, after all these years, after all I’ve done for Israel he tries toto take it from me, says he’s going to give it to another.
If I get my hands on that prophet.
If I find out who it is Samuel has chosen to replace me…
[light instrumental music]
[Saul sighing] But then you came along.
[dramatic music]
Father, the Philistines.
The Philistines amass for war.
[Saul laughing]
Today is a bad day for them to pick a fight.
Ready my horse.
David, you have done your king a great service.
Return to your fields.
And while you’re there, write a victory song for my return.
[bright dramatic music]
[men muttering]
[wooden weapons clumping]
This is not what I signed up for.
So this is not going to end well.
Come on men.
Spirits up, you are mighty soldiers in the Israelite army.
If by mighty you mean scared and by soldiers you mean farmers, then sure, that’s us.
You underestimate who’s on our side.
Do you see this, Jonathan?
We haven’t even faced the Philistines yet.
I did this to myself, with this.
It’s not even a real weapon.
Ow.
I am so sorry. Are you okay?
Yup, we’re dead.
Have a little faith men.
Oh I do have a little faith, very little.
[bright inspirational music]
[Army cheering] [dramatic music]
[drums banging]
[army chanting]
[dramatic music]
Saul, Saul, Saul.
I thought we had an agreement.
I allow you and your little tribes to live in this land and you I know our agreement Achish.
We pay your taxes, we get our tools sharpened by your blacksmiths.
Well I must say, a lot of your tools are looking very pointy.
That was not part of our arrangement.
Well, perhaps it’s time to come to new terms.
Ooh, those are fighting words Saul.
Your army is clearly no match for mine.
I would rather not kill all those potential workers for my fields, so why don’t we make this simpler?
Your best warrior, against mine?
Father, you’re more than a match for any Philistine.
Besides, God fights for us.
[scoffs] So be it.
Choose your man to fight, Achish.
Good. [Laughs] Very good. Very, very, very good. [Laughs] Deal. [Laughs] Bring out Goliath.
[dramatic music]
[army chanting]
He’s huge.
Oh, that’s not him.
That’s his armor bearer.
[giant grunting]
[light dramatic music]
[feet thumping]
[horses neighing]
[light dramatic music]
[Goliath grunting]
[light dramatic music]
He’s huge.
Like a mountain.
He’s the biggest thing I’ve ever seen, and I once seen a whale.
[light dramatic music]
I like horses.
Not much else will fill me up. [Grunts]
[horses neighing]
[Goliath laughing]
[army chanting]
[dramatic music]
This day, Goliath defies the ranks of Israel.
Choose a man to fight me.
If he wins, the Philistines will be your subjects.
If I beat him, you will serve us.
[dramatic music]
Summon my advisors.
[dramatic music]
[Goliath laughing]
Don’t worry, take your time.
Goliath is nothing if not patient.
[dramatic music]
[David sighing]
[carriage rattling]
[light instrumental music]
Shimea get an Ephah of grain.
[Shimea] What’s an Ephah?
Ozem, the sheep.
[Ozem groaning]
[Zeruiah giggling] [Ozem crying]
Ima, Ima, look.
Yes, dear. It’s beautiful.
Hmm, stress weaving again?
[scoffs] I’m allowed.
Eliab and Abinadab have been called to war, I still don’t know what happening with…
[David whistling]
[Nitzevet gasping]
David.
David!
Oh yay. Ow.
[light instrumental music]
[sheep bleating]
Oh, I missed you guys.
Are you king yet?
Do you have a crown?
Can I wear it?
[laughs] No.
David.
It’s a relief to see you in one piece.
Are you all right?
Did he find out about the anointing?
[gasps] Have you eaten?
Is the family in danger?
[gasps] They touched your hair.
What happened with Saul?
Nothing happened.
What’s going on here?
Well, the town has been asked for supplies for the war.
Where are the supplies?
I got hungry.
From the house to the donkey?
Hu
huh
uh. Where do you think you’re going?
You haven’t told me what happened yet.
Nothing, it’s all okay.
I just want to head back to the fields.
Saul was troubled and I played for him, [scoffs] that’s all.
[Nitzevet clears throat]
[light instrumental music]
[David sighing]
I just… The whole time I was in Gibeah, nothing made sense.
Am I meant to lie?
Am I meant to help Saul, or hate him, or obey him, or fight him?
[David coughing]
I just don’t know!
Things are simple out there.
Everything makes sense.
But with the anointing, with the king thing [sighs] I just don’t understand what God’s doing.
[giggles] Nor do I.
And that’s why I do this.
Stress-weaving again?
That’s not the point.
Look here. Beautiful isn’t it?
Um, it’s not your best.
[giggles] Every thread has a purpose.
They all have a place.
It looks messy, but when you see the finished picture on the other side, they all make sense.
You’re just like one of these threads.
[Zeruiah gasping]
Am even I there?
Yup, here you are and there’s Tali.
Yes Ozem, even you.
Uh, Ima. [Nitzevet laughs] I love you.
[Ozem] Ima!
[Zeruiah laughing and exclaiming] Hey let me see.
Nope, it’s not finished yet.

What are you two singing for?
There is carrying to be done.
Someone needs to take our supplies to the army.
They wouldn’t arrive with Nethanel, perhaps Ozem?
[Ozem groaning]
[David laughing]
I know who can take it, right?
[Tali bleating]
[light instrumental music]
[David sighing]
[light instrumental music]
[Nitzevet giggling]
[light instrumental music]
Here, look after Tali for me won’t you?
[David giggles]
[light instrumental music]
Right.
Wait, where’s David going?
[Ozem groaning]
[sheep bleating]
[light instrumental music]
[transitions to dramatic music]
[Townsman] Fresh supplies over here.
[crowd chattering]
Hey kid, over here!
[Goliath] I laugh while you cower. [Laughs]
[Townsman] Where are you going?
[dramatic music]
[crowd chattering]
Excuse me. [Grunts]
[Eliab] David!
What are you doing here?
I brought cheese and bread.
Ooh, and figs.
[Goliath] I defeat you without lifting a finger.
[Goliath laughing]
Who’s doing all the shouting?
You are putting the whole family in danger by being here to what? Watch a battle?
Oh calm down Eliab, who wouldn’t want to see the glorious Israelite army in action?
[Goliath laughing]
[Goliath] You are an army of cowards.
He’s not wrong.
Fair point, fair point.
[Goliath] Not even your God can save you from the might of the Philistines.
Oh yeah? Come over here and we’ll see about that.
Sh-sh-shhh, Goliath might hear you.
Who’s Goliath?
Imagine the biggest warrior you have ever seen.
Okay?
Now imagine somebody ate him.
It doesn’t matter how big he is.
With God on our side, even I could fight him.
You?
Yes.
[crowd laughing]
He thinks he can beat Goliath! [Laughs] With God fighting for us it could be you, or you, or you.
Me? [Yells]
[crowd laughing]
[Soldier] Well, looks like it’s going to be you.
[crowd laughing]
[David grunting]
[Goliath] I cannot wait to see who you send to face me.
What about our new treaty proposal?
Sire, with all due respect, King Achish knows he has the upper hand.
He will not be interested in a new treaty.
Yes, but was it presented to him?
What did he say?
He said, “I have the upper hand, and I am not interested in a new treaty.”
Father, we’re out of options.
I will go and fight him.
I will not send my son on a suicide mission.
This Philistine is no match for the God of Israel.
I said no!
[crowd laughing]
[light instrumental music]
You again?
A song can do little here, boy.
I haven’t come to sing.
Then why are you here?
I
I will fight Goliath.
[everyone laughing]
I’m serious. I will fight Goliath.
Ah David. Once again you have lightened my spirits.
Your presence here is most welcome.
You’re so small.
What difference does size make to a giant?
[Goliath] I will rip him limb from limb.
You’re not afraid to go out there alone?
I won’t be alone.
Oh this is ridiculous.
Just look at him.
Yeah, look at me.
I’ve fought lions and bears, Me!
God protected me when they came for my father’s sheep, and He will do the same against Goliath.
And I saw him tame one other beast when no others could.
Is that what I’ve become, a beast?
I know who you really are.
The one God chose to lead His people.
I know you still recognize His voice.
What is it telling you?
[Goliath laughing]
Sire, you cannot be considering…
Suit him up.
[light instrumental music]
But sire…
Or you could go, if you want?
[trembles] Get him ready.
[clapping hands]
[David grunting]
[Goliath] I defeat you without.
[David] Is that really necessary? Okay.
Today we will see if God is still with us…
Or not.
[grunts] I can’t go out in this.
You’re right, there are still too many gaps.
Here, here, and here.
[light instrumental music]
[metal clanking]
Much better.
Yes, but can he move?
Of course he can.
You can, can’t you?
David?
[clanking]
Oh dear.
[Goliath] Who’s it going to be, Saul?
[Saul grunting]
[light instrumental music]
[footsteps thumping]

[Philistine army chanting]
[light instrumental music]
[soldiers grunting]
[light instrumental music]
Silence.
[birds chirping]
[Goliath grunting]
[light instrumental music]
Uh, where are you going?
[sighs] This is an insult.
Yes, a great insult.
An insult you should crush.
A child? You expect me to fight a child?
No. No no no no.
No, no way. No, of course not.
[King Achish laughs]
But yes, that’s exactly what I expect you to do.
[Goliath grunting]
Do you think this is a game?
[sighs] I will make you a snack for the crows.
[Philistine army laughing]
Or maybe they’ll get a giant feast.
[Philistine army exclaiming]
[Goliath grunting]
I suppose it would be a shame to have come all this way for nothing.
[laughs] Marvelous.
[Philistine army cheering]

[dramatic music continues]
[Goliath yelling]
[dramatic music]
[feet thumping]
[Goliath grunting]
Oops, missed.
[Philistine army laughing]
Are you sure you want to continue this, kid?
You don’t even have a real weapon.
Maybe he can’t lift one.
[soldier laughing]
You think your weapons can do anything against the God who parted the sea?
The God who came in a pillar of fire?
Wait, what are you saying?
You come against me with sword and spear, but I come against you in the name of the God of heaven and earth.
The battle is His and He will give you into our hands.
[Goliath grunts]
[Goliath laughing]
By Dagon. Here I was thinking that Saul had sent a boy to do a man’s job.
While actually, he was setting me up to fight a God.
[Goliath laughing]
[soldiers laughing]
Well that’s more like it.
This I can get behind.
Who would like to see Goliath take on a God!
[Philistine army cheering]
[light instrumental music]
[grunts] I accept Your challenge.
And I now challenge You to show Yourself and let us fight.
Come down here, Israelite God, and I will make you kneel before the might of Goliath!

Ah!
[Goliath grunts]
[Goliath groans]

[dramatic music]
[people screaming]
[uplifting music]
Yaah!
Hm?
[people screaming]
Did you see that, Eliab.
That’s our brother!
God is with him, father.
God is with him!
Yaahhh!
[people screaming]
I told you.
[goat bleating]
But now he will need God more than ever.
Please. Look after him.
[crowd cheering]
[Farmer Soldier] It’s the king!
Here comes the king!
[crowd cheering]
[Crowd] David! David! David!
David, you saved us!
I lent him my lyre, you know.
You’re our champion!
He is brave, he is true.
No!
No?
No?
No! It’s not about me.
And he’s so humble too!
[Crowd] David! David! David!
No!
Don’t look at me, look at God.
Just look at him, the way he looks at God.
No, you don’t get it.
What don’t we get?
We don’t get it.
Tell us!
But he does!
[Crowd] Yeah tell us.
Okay, okay, listen, listen!
Everyone quiet!
David’s going to speak!
Er… [chuckles] Would you mind?

David!
You have given our people hope once more!
We have never been so united.
Now is the time to fully establish the glory of our kingdom!
[crowd cheers]
We will strike each Philistine outpost.
Starting with Ziklag.
We will crush them underfoot, the way they once crushed us!
[crowd cheering]
And who better to lead us into battle than David!
My king, would you like us to enquire of God if this is His will?
[Saul sighs]
I am God’s anointed king.
My bidding is His will.
[dramatic music]
[Saul screams]
[soldiers scream]
[dramatic music]
Whoa!
What happened to the Philistines?
It’s abandoned.
[Soldier] They left everything behind.
[bird squawks]
[Soldier] Why would they leave in such a hurry?
[horse snorts]
What is it?
Amalekites.
[Saul gasps]
[horse whinnies]
Stop!
[Jonathan] Father?
Saul.
No.
Father? What is it?
Father?
We must leave this place.
Now.
But father.
I said now!
[intense music]
[Saul grunting]
[Amalekites] Saul.
[Saul grunts]
[Samuel] It’s too late, Saul.
No, please no.
[Samuel] The Amalekites escape!
The kingdom has been torn.
[Soldiers] Saul! Saul!
Saul! Saul! Saul!
[soldiers cheering]
Have I not brought victory?
See how we honor God with this offering!
You honor yourself!
While you feast, the Amalekites escape!
Just as they attacked and killed the weakest of us when we escaped Pharaoh!
You have put your entire people in danger because of your pride.
We will never truly be free with you on the throne.
Don’t turn your back on me!
[thunder rumbles]
It’s too late, Saul.
Today the kingdom has been torn from you and given to another.
[gentle humming]
[Saul gasps]
It’s you.
[Saul screams]
[David screams]
It’s you Samuel chose to replace me!
Tell me…
Tell me it isn’t so.
I, I can’t.
I invited you into my home!
My king.
I loved you like a son!
I have done nothing but serve you.
You are the anointed king.
Jonathan is just.
Don’t!
Say it.
Your words, your, your songs, they have bewitched me!
Go on.
Are you not man enough to fight me for the throne?
I have never wanted the throne.
Lies!
You have stolen the hearts of my people.
Even my own family loves you more than me.
[Saul screams]
What’s left to take but my crown?
The crown belongs to God.
God!
God has turned his back on me, and now he has turned his back on you!
[David screams]
[David grunts]
Seize him, he tried to kill me!
Hey, you!
There he is!
[Soldier] Get him!
Come back here!
[Soldier] He tried to kill the king!
[Soldier] Stop!
Father, what happened?
He, he tried to kill me!
Who?
[Soldier] Come back here!
[Soldier] Stop him!
Don’t let him escape!
Shoot, son, shoot!
[Soldier] Don’t let him get away!
David?
David?
It’s him, Jonathan.
He’s the one Samuel chose to replace me.
To replace you.
A traitor worming his way into our hearts.
Finish this, now!
As long as David lives neither you nor I will be safe.
The crown belongs to us.
[tense music]
[bow fires]
[arrow cuts]
Watch it!
[soldiers screaming] [rumbling]
[David gasps]
The crown belongs to God.
[Saul grunts]
[David pants]
Farewell, my brother.
Seal off the city.
No one in or out until he’s found.
Don’t let him out of your sights!
Come back here!
There’s nowhere to run!
[Saul grunts]
[chanting]
Men. Follow me.
[David panting]
Hey, David!
David, where are you going?
Find him!
Put to the sword anyone who aids him!
Those loyal to David…
Are disloyal to me!
[horn blows]
Find David!
He tried to kill Saul!
It’s David!
Run, run, hurry!
[Townsfolk] What’s going on?
[Soldier] David tried to kill Saul!
[Rebecca] David? No! Never!
[Saul grunts]
[David panting]
Hey! Thief!
Stop the thief!
[chanting] [dramatic music]
Ugh!
Hey, watch it!
David?
What have you done?
Nothing!
[Saul] Flush out the traitor!
[Soldier] Where is he?
It doesn’t sound like nothing!
Eliab, please.
No. This stops tonight.
You’ve put us all in danger.
If you aren’t willing to do the right thing to protect our family, I will.
Let go of me.
I need to go.
[both grunt]
[Soldier] Follow me.
Run! Run!
Where is he?
That way.
[horse neighs]
What was that?
Get to Bethlehem and get our family to safety.

[suspenseful music]
Wake up.
Wake up, dead man.
Wakey, wakey!
Definitely dead.
Good.
Okay.
Now don’t suddenly turn out to be alive while I’m taking your sandals, alright?
Dead bodies coming back to life, oh, scare the heck out of me.
[David coughs]
[Zaydel screams]
What did I just say?
Hey, what have you found, Zaydel?
A not dead enough deadman.
[Abishai] You robbing a defenseless man again?
No, I was looting his corpse.
Big difference.
[David groans]
It’s David!
What? What are you doing?
Don’t give him stuff!
That’s the opposite of what I’m trying to do.
God favors him today that we came across his path.
God’s favor doesn’t look like what I expected.
[Zaydel grunts]
[David coughs]
Help me.
Wait, he’s still got one of my new sandals!
Ooo!
[gentle music]
[David groans]
[David coughs]
Elhanan, Abishai, what are you doing here?
Saul didn’t take too kindly to anyone loyal to you.
Or thieves.
He didn’t like them.
[chuckles] Nice sandals.
Oh! Thanks!
I had them for ages.
We’re glad you’re all right.
[all gasp]
Hey you. Huh!
[Abishai] Come on, the others will want to see you.
Others?
[calm music]
[David gasps]
[outcast coughs]
Who are all these people?
Everyone who’s running from Saul.
[Nitzevet] David! Oh!
Ima!
I missed you so much!
Is the family safe?
[Zeruiah] David!
Ow!
Zeruiah!
You wait until we’re kicked out of the kingdom for a reunion?
You’re all here?
[Zeruiah] Well, the house got a bit crowded with the soldiers and all.
[all gasp]
Get him some food.
[people laughing]
You come at me with sword and spear.
Ah!
Ow!
That’s not how a sling works.
You’ll be dead in a minute, giant.
Now say your next line!
Hmp!
Hey! Watch it.
How’s your tapestry working out?
Oh just, you know, way…
Way worse than I thought!
I don’t feel like I’m being woven, so much as being stabbed!
[Nitzevet chuckles]
Oh I so love you.
Sometimes a thread is pulled so tight you think it might snap.
But trust the weaver.
[David chuckles]
I feel like I snapped a while ago, Ima.
Then trust him to tie you back together.
[Abishai grunts]
[crowd laughs, applauding]
How can you laugh when we are being hunted by Saul?
Did you not hear what he did to the priests?
[light music]
That was my fault.
This is all my fault.
No, David.
I didn’t understand at first.
But it’s clear our king has lost his mind.
Look around you.
These people are loyal to you.
It can’t be for nothing that you were anointed.
Abba!
[all gasps]
What did he say?
David anointed?
This is crazy!
What does that mean?
Is it true?
It’s true!
The Prophet Samuel himself came to my house!
You’re the next king?
Yes.
[all gasps]
David?
David? King?
This is wonderful!
We could go home!
Does that come with a whole lot of money?
With you as king, we will at last be free.
Saul won’t give up without a fight.
Civil war then?
What can we do against Saul’s army?
Saul must pay for what he’s done.
David will save us.
God has chosen David.
He is God’s anointed!
[echos] He is God’s anointed.
He is God’s anointed.
God’s anointed.
He is God’s anointed.
[Saul gasps]
[birds screeches]
[Saul catch breath]
Saul.
[Saul gasps]
What’s wrong, sire?
Nnothing.
I just need a moment out of this wretched sun.
Of course.
[Doeg grunts]
David will save us!
Saul must pay for what he’s done!
We’ll gather an army.
We’ll overthrow Gibeah.
Finally, we’ll be free of Saul.
David is the rightful…
[whistle blows]
[David’s followers chattering]
[tense music]
[Doeg] We will scour the area while you rest, sire.
[Saul sighs]
[tense music continues]
[water fall crashes]
[tense music continues]
My shadows, these voices, plaguing me.
[tense music continues]
They will not leave me.
[music intensifies]
[tense music slows]
Anything?
No sign of them, Sire.
My Lord the king.
[tense music]
Why are you hunting me?
Did God not just deliver you into my hands?
Some urged me to kill you, but I won’t lay a hand on you.
If a Philistine were chasing me or an Amalekite was hunting me down, I’d know what to do.
I could, I could defend myself.
But it’s you…
My king.
I am not trying to take the throne.
[somber music]
David I, I.
I I know, I know, it’s okay.
[somber music continues]
What?
[somber music stops]
[dramatic music]
David, he did it.
Finally, fresh air.
[Follower] He’s leaving, we can come out.
I can go home, thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
[Baker] We must celebrate!
[Eliab] Don’t.
[David] Eliab.
Aren’t you gonna follow your king?
I made a mistake following Saul.
Show me it’s not a mistake following you.
[chuckles]
Apology accepted.
Huh.
He won’t stop hunting you.
There is one place I know he won’t follow.
[doors creek]
[birds cawing]
[ominous music]
Well, I wouldn’t say it’s homey.
You sure about this?
Sure that Saul won’t pursue us here at least.
I think I’d rather take my chances with Saul.
[quiet music]
Hmmm…
It is true, your most high highness.
The Israelites are unraveling.
Saul no longer has his champion.
Marvelous.
Let’s go and pay them a visit, shall we?
[dramatic music]
[dramatic music continues]
[Abishai] David, David!
The Philistines are marching on Saul!
The largest army I’ve ever seen!
[dramatic music stops]
[Jonathan sighing]
[sad music]
[children laughing]
[Zeruiah humming]
[gasps] Ah, Philistine!
Ow! Ow!
Take that!
[David] Zeruiah, wait.
David?
Ow! It’s good to know where you land on the fight or flight thing.
Sorry.
So what do you think?
I think you’ve lost your mind.
[crash]
Ima, Ima, it’s me.
[David and Zeruiah laughing]
Sorry, instinct.
David, what on Earth are you doing?
You could’ve given me a heart attack.
The Philistines are marching on Saul.
We will infiltrate their army and turn on them as they attack.
When we deliver this victory for Saul, he will know without a doubt that I am for him.
Everything will be back the way it was.
The people are divided, David.
Samuel said we’d be vulnerable if I’m trying to reunite us.
Is that so wrong?
I will not just leave Saul to die.
[tense music]
[soldiers grunting]
Quit that.
Okay.
That’s a big army.
Their numbers don’t matter.
We just have to get to King Achish and his generals and the army will collapse.
[crowd shouting]
[tense music]
Saul, we heard you lost your champion.
It’s time for a rematch.
A rider approaches.
[tense music]
[army shouting]
Where is your father?
Afraid to face us, is he?
He’s tired of your talk Achish.
Does it look like we’ve come to talk?
I thought we had come to talk.
Well, yes to talk now, but then battle.
Now I’m with you.
Enough talk.
We haven’t come to talk!
We outnumber your army 10 to one.
Where is the God of Israel now?
Right here, and He has you doing His will.
What do you mean?
I am not afraid.
If we win, then it will be by God’s hand.
If not, today you are putting David on the throne.
Either way, you lose.
Get back here, we are not done talking!
[Jonathan] I thought you hadn’t come to talk.
[Achish growling]
[sighs]
Come on men.
What did they say?
They’re quaking in their boots.
[clears throat]
I’m.
I’m sorry I brought this on you.
I would rather be here by your side, than have you face this alone.
[Saul’s Soldier] Black smoke.
Look, black smoke.
The Amalekites must have found some unfortunate people.
Isn’t that coming from Ziklag?
[David gasps]
We have to go back.
Our families.
Oh, this is good, very good.
Did they not wonder why we abandoned that city?
Anyway, no matter.
Looks like the Amalekites are taking care of them for us.
[thunder rumbles]
No.
[Achish chuckles]
Well, come on, charge!
[soldiers shouting]
[sad dramatic music]
For God and honor!
[sad dramatic music continues]
We shouldn’t have left them.
Our families, we have to go back.
[sad dramatic music continues]
[vocalizing in Hebrew]
[music intensifies]
[vocalizing continues]
Where are they?
My children.
They’ve been taken.
[David’s followers shouting]
[sad music continues]
Why God, why?
Why?
[sad dramatic music stops]
[tense music]
[Farmer Soldier] This is David’s fault!
[Eliab] Our families.
We believed in you!
It wasn’t safe.
You had the chance to kill Saul at the cave.
Where is God now?
We shouldn’t have left them alone!
Why did I trust you?
[somber music]
[David panting]
[Nitzevet voice]
Remember when I told you.
God had big plans for you?
They may have been bigger than even I thought.
[Jonathan voice] Today you are putting David on the throne.
[dramatic music]
[Samuel voice] Our true battle is not against flesh and blood, but in our hearts.
[David grunting]
[dramatic music continues]
[David screaming]
[dramatic music stops]
What do you want from me?
[Young David] I’m just a shepherd.
[Samuel] A shepherd is precisely who they need to lead them back home.
[David breathes deeply]
[tense music]
Where are you going?
To bring our people home.
The Amalekites will kill you.
I’m a shepherd, Eliab.
What can I do but look after my sheep?
And I trust my shepherd to look after me.
[Eliab] What if he doesn’t?
I’d rather take my chances following the light, than choose to live in the dark.
Which do you choose, Eliab?
[heroic music]
[music stops]
Move.
You are cowards!
[tense music]
Scavengers.
Kings fight, sheep scatter.
We collect.
David will come.
He will rescue us.

It was a giant standing against the maker of heaven and earth.
So stand.
