After having been insulted by David’s rejection of Mirab in Episode 5, in Episode 6 of House of David Season 2 Saul sets out to eliminate David by sending him off on an impossible mission in exchange for the hand of Mychal, only for his trap to backfire (1 Samuel 18:20-29).

While David and Mychal deal with the aftermath of the unexpected offer of Saul’s other daughter, Mirab, to David in marriage (1 Samuel 18:17-18), Eshbaal tries to regain Saul’s favor by offering to marry Dinah,

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.
