| 0:10.8 | Welcome to the epic adventure of David, a story of honor, battle, jealousy, darkness, friendship, love, scandal, and murder. |
| 0:20.0 | While most people know of David the myth, few know about |
| 0:23.4 | David the man. In this story, our hero's humility is tested. This episode reveals to us the |
| 0:30.4 | test of a true hero, which is, does he still show up even when the praise disappears? |
| 0:37.4 | David has been beloved by the entire nation for a few |
| 0:40.5 | years. Even though he is an exile from Saul, he would still like to think he is loved by the people. |
| 0:47.4 | But what does he do when the people turn on him? Does he grow bitter and leave them to their own |
| 0:53.5 | destruction? Or does he rise above the hatred |
| 0:56.5 | of fickle men to fulfill the will of God? Thankfully, in the highs and lows of David's life, |

| 1:40.9 | This episode's epic hive, followed by an isolating low, mirrors the journey David takes in this episode. |
| 1:49.0 | This episode then ends with sadness, but it is not a sorrow without hope. |
| 1:54.8 | The warrior poet David sings a new lament and praise to God, touching the hearts of everyone who listens. Let's listen together |
