Episode Summary

David rises as Israel's beacon, first by slaying Goliath, then earning Saul's jealousy through his victories. Despite opportunities to kill Saul, David spares him, respecting God's anointing. Saul's downfall comes in battle, paving David's path to kingship. As king, David unites Israel, capturing Jerusalem but falters morally by sinning with Bathsheba, resulting in their child's death. Through highs and lows, David's legacy is a complex tapestry of faith, failure, and the eternal hope of redemption.
