King David Page #2

in his protection?

You boast

that he can move mountains,

and yet, he cannot move

one man among you

to defend his honor.

Six times have we challenged you

to put forward a champion,

and six times

have you cowered in silence.

Send down a champion,

and whoever wins the combat

wins the day

for his country and his god.

Well, Israelites,

what is your answer?

Then let all the world

bear witness.

There is no god in Israel!

Yea, though I walk

Through the valley

of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil

For Thou art with me.

Goliath?

He will feed your flesh

to the fowls of the air

and the beasts of the field.

So be it, Lord.

So be it!

An entire army at my command.

It takes a shepherd boy

to wipe out our disgrace.

He's given us back our pride.

From that day,

David did not return

to his father's house

but remained with Saul

at Kabeir,

where he served in the army

for ten years.

He fought so bravely

that Saul placed him

over his men of war.

Each victory was greeted

with exultation

in the sight of all the people.

David!

David!

Saul has killed his thousands,

and David

his tens of thousands! David!

Saul has killed his thousands,

and David his tens of thousands!

Saul has killed his thousands...

May the Lord bless you

and keep you.

May the Lord lift up the light

of His face toward you

and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up His face

towards you and give you peace.

From this day forth...

no man shall cover thee but me.

It was I

who taught him the harp.

Ah, but it was I who

taught him to use a sling.

Father taught him both.

Didn't you, Father?

Any man can teach,

but David's gifts

are the gifts of God.

There he goes again.

David's a man

after God's own heart,

isn't he, Father?

Is it true

that he once killed a lion?

With his own bare hands.

Which were tied

behind his back, no doubt.

Yes. And with a blindfold.

David's a man after

God's own heart, you see.

That's what the prophet said,

wasn't it, Father?

Did I please you, My Lord?

You only have to smile,

and I am pleased.

Did I smile... My Lord?

My name is David.

Ah, forgive me.

The confusion is easily made.

By whom?

The people worship you

as their god.

While as for Jonathan...

He loves me as a brother.

As I love him.

And his sister?

Hm?

The resemblance is marked.

But I suspect

it's only skin deep.

Then why did you marry me?

You're my prize

for Goliath's head.

Was that your only reason?

Is love not reason enough?

You scarcely know me.

Your mystery overwhelms me.
