After the action-packed opening to House of David Season 2, Episode 2 slows things down a bit in order to hammer home the cost of Israel’s victory and the ramifications it will have for David, the House of Saul, and other key figures. If you’re following along in Scripture, Season 2 Episode 2 is basically covering the start of David’s ascent through the Israelite military (1 Samuel 18:5) as well as the resulting drama in the House of Saul.

Episode 1 of House of David Season 2 picks up right where Episode 8 of Season 1 left off, with David’s triumph over Goliath and the ensuing battle between the Israelites and Philistines, followed by David's reunion with King Saul and Jonathan after the battle (1 Samuel 17:51-18:4). I’ll offer my initial review of Episode 1 below, but check back on October 5 for a detailed summary and an analysis of Episode 1’s key themes and ideas.

A new trailer just dropped for House of David Season 2, which premieres on October 5 on the Wonder Project subscription service on Amazon Prime. Season 2 will pick up with the aftermath of David's defeat of Goliath and follow David's ascent to commander of the Israelite army, his friendship with Jonathan, and his doomed romance with Mychal, all of which fuel Saul's violent envy and paranoia, eventually forcing David to go on the run as an outlaw.

Below is a set of Bible study and discussion questions from my guide for House of David Episode 2 ("Deep Calls to Deep"). This episode provides (mostly fictional) backstory for David and the House of Saul in addition to depicting the start of Saul's torment at the hand of an evil/troubling spirit (1 Samuel 16:14).

Below is a set of Bible study and discussion questions from my guide for House of David Episode 1 ("A Shepherd and King"). This episode depicts the events of 1 Samuel 15:1-35, including Saul's defeat of the Amalekites, his disobedient decision to spare Agag and keep some of the Amalekite spoils, the prophet Samuel's confrontation Saul, and the announcement that the Lord has rejected him as king over Israel.

House of David Season 2 is set to be released later this Fall and Wonder Project just released the first images of the new season. Below, I'll consider what we can learn about House of David Season 2 from these initial images (hint: it looks like we will indeed be getting one of the Bible's grossest stories about David).
