0:05.4	Please be sure to follow the podcast on Apple or Spotify so you get the newest episodes right
0:11.1	as they come out. Welcome to the epic adventure of David, a story of honor, battle, jealousy,

0:23.0	myth, few know about David the man. In this episode, David expands the power of Israel with
0:28.8	alarming speed. He establishes the small nation of former slaves into the most powerful nation

0:45.9	and it is impossible for him to be forgotten.
0:48.5	This episode has a few battles that give us some epic fights.
0:52.6	David even faces another giant, but there are also some

1:43.3	podcast.
