00:00While surveying the site of some ancient ruins, two young archaeologists, Derek and Margo,
00:22and their nomad friend, Mokey, find themselves trapped and sinking in a whirling pool of sand.
00:37And when the dust settles, they stare up in awe at a vast chamber filled with giant relics and artifacts from another civilization.
00:48And there, at the far end of the cavern, a door with a strange inscription.
00:53All who enter these portals pass through time.
01:48Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

02:18Ha!
02:20Hap!
02:26Ha!
02:28Ha!
02:36Ha!
02:38Ha!
02:42Ha!
02:44Ha!
02:46Come on! Come on! Put your backs into it!
02:56You'd think it was heavy or something. Yeah, I would think that.
03:00Shh, no cracks. How did we ever get into this chicken outfit?
03:07Hey, we're lucky these Philistines took our word we're strangers and not enemies.
03:12You saw what they did to that village last night.
03:14We gotta get out of here. This is worse than the foreign legion.
03:17Be patient. Mardo doesn't have it easy either.
03:26I never knew horses could be so thirsty. Ugh, and cleaning up after them.
03:32Stop complaining. Hannibal's army had elephants.
03:38What's all the noise? It's Goliath, the big one who joined us last
03:42night. He plans to wrestle six men at a time and
03:45beat them all. Six guys? This I gotta see.
03:52One guy going up against all those brutes? It must be Godzilla.
04:10Look at him. I don't believe it.
04:16I think it's those other six guys who are crazy. I wonder what kind of cereal he has
04:21for breakfast. Now's our chance.
04:38Our chance? You want to fight him too? Our chance to escape while they're watching
04:43the fight. Come on.
04:53You forgot something. What?
04:55The water buckets. Will a basket do?
04:59Now, if that fight will last just a little longer.
05:07It's finished. Then we are too.
05:10Maybe not. Did you ever hear of disappearing in a cloud
05:18of dust? Follow me.
05:37Weird, isn't it? We can't tell what century it is.
05:41Or what year it is. Or where we are.
05:44My guess is we're someplace where people worship lions.
05:47That's wild. What makes you think that?
05:51Because there's a big statue of a lion right over there.
05:53They've even colored it so it looks almost... That's no statue.
06:01That's the real merchandise. I hope he's not on a lunch break too.
06:07I don't think he's seen us yet. He's after those lambs.
06:14What'll we do? Nothing.
06:21Oh, no. He's coming this way. What a way to go. Lunch for a lion.
06:45What's going on? You won't believe it.
06:53But there's a kid out there throwing rocks at the lion.
07:01How can we thank you? It really wasn't such a heroic deed.
07:06That old lion is mostly our growl. I've chased him away before.
07:10You do this regularly? David!
07:15David, where are you? Over here.
07:21This is my brother Eliab, and as you heard, my name is David.
07:25This is Margo, he's Mokey, and I'm Derek. Greetings. Shalom.
07:29Forgive my abruptness, but a message just came.
07:32You must go immediately to Gibeah, to the palace.
07:35King Saul sent for me? His council did.
07:37The king is in a dark mood of despair. Some even say God is angry with him.
07:42Anyway, they've heard of your singing and thought it might help soothe him.
07:46Oh, all right. I'll get my harp. You play the harp?
07:50It's my second weapon. If the sling doesn't keep the lions away,
07:54my singing does. He's being modest.
07:58He plays very well and makes up his own songs. Hey, he throws stones and sings.
08:04What we have here is a genuine rock musician.
08:09Thanks for letting us ride along, David. I only hope I can help the king.
08:14These are difficult days for Israel with the Philistines approaching our borders.
08:17They're mean, all right. We saw them.
08:20But I must warn you of one thing. If you go with me to the palace,
08:23you could be in danger. Danger?
08:26King Saul is unstable in his mind. There are even those who fear for his sanity.
08:31So if for any reason I displease him, well, he will turn against you and anyone with you.
08:37Ding, ding. Would you stop at the next corner, please? This is where I get off.
08:41If you're going, David, it's good enough for us.
08:44Oh, what a day. First it's the Philistines, then lions,
08:48and now a king who gets mad at you.
09:02If you're ready, be sure you neither sing nor say anything
09:06that might remind him of Samuel's prophecy.
09:09I understand. A prophecy?
09:12Years back, the prophet Samuel had a vision which took him to David's house in Bethlehem,
09:18where Samuel proclaimed one day David would be king of Israel.
09:23I did not know what he meant. Go in now.
09:26But remember, the slightest thing could throw him into a deadly rage.
09:35The Lord is my shepherd, and I shall not want.
09:38He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
09:41He leadeth me beside the still waters.
09:44He restoreth my soul.
09:47He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
09:52For his name's sake.
09:54Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
09:58I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
10:02Phew, that was close.
10:05Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
10:15I think the king's sleeping.
10:17Good, good. Bless David.
10:20Music may be just the medicine needed, but you never know one day to the next.
10:50Fire!
11:20Sire, the captain brings news.
11:23The Philistines have crossed into Judah.
11:26Through what route?
11:27They are in force between Socorro and Ezekiel.
11:29As I suspected.
11:31We shall meet them at the valley of Eliab and drive them back.
11:34Summon all my captains. Mobilize your men. We march within the hour.
11:38May I go with you, sire?
11:40War is not for boys, David. I am going to send you home.
11:43You have done your service for your king, and I am grateful.
11:47But isn't there something I...
11:49Go now and tell your father, Jesse of Bethlehem, that you have found favor in my eyes.
11:55How pleased I am that you have returned.
11:58All is well with the king?
12:00He sends you greetings, father.
12:02These are my friends, Margot, Derek, and Mokey.
12:05Welcome. Shalom.
12:06Eliab told me of you. Our home is your home.
12:10And the king, he found favor in you?
12:12David's music was just the miracle the king needed.
12:15He's recovered completely.
12:17Good, good. He shall need his strength.
12:20You know, of course, about the Philistines.
12:22He said to tell you.
12:24Boys, come out. See what stray lamb has turned up again.
12:29These three donkeys are Abinadab, Shammah, and...
12:32Well, of course, you met Eliab before.
12:35Yes, we did. Nice to meet you all.
12:37Did David disgrace us at the palace?
12:40Every day in every way.
12:43Your arrival is indeed well-timed.
12:46We shall have a feast tonight to end all feasts.
12:49Music, wine, all our friends.
12:51Father, you really don't have to...
12:53Rest easy, little one. It's not for you.
12:56Tomorrow, these three go to join the army of their king
13:00to fight the Philistines, to keep our people free.
13:08Our men stand ready?
13:10Yes, my king.
13:11If the Philistines gathered at Issica,
13:13they must come by this valley.
13:17Sire, look, a distant hilltop.
13:26It's not possible. He's a giant.
13:29Who can this be?
13:31It must be he called Goliath of Gath.
13:34I've heard stories of such a monster,
13:37but I never believed them to be true.
13:39Alas, they are true.
13:41I, too, have heard of this Goliath.
13:44Israelites, send out a man who dares fight me.
13:49If he kills me, all Philistines will be your servants.
13:57But if I kill him, then you will be our slaves.
14:04We have no man to match him, none.
14:07But his challenge must be met.
14:09There is no need for battle or senseless killings of many.
14:13Let one man come out to me.
14:16One of us must fight him,
14:18but none of us has a chance to win,
14:20only to lose and thus bear the burden
14:23of having forfeited our people into slavery.
14:25Come, come, I grow lonely out here.
14:30Surely amongst the men of Saul,
14:33there is one man with spine.
14:36Step forth.
14:38Take counsel.
14:40I shall return tomorrow and every day thereafter
14:44until you send forth a warrior to meet me.
15:01Captains, find a man in our ranks
15:04who can not only meet this Goliath,
15:06but vanquish him as well.
15:08We must find such a man.
15:10The fate of our people depends upon it.
15:13We brought the sheep down from the high meadow, Father.
15:16They sure can run.
15:18I don't know how the lions have a chance.
15:20Any news from your sons?
15:22Not a word all month.
15:24Well, you know what they say.
15:26No news is...
15:27Oh, I'm sure they are in fine health.
15:30No, I'm not sure at all.
15:33Perhaps I could go find them.
15:35Yes, I'm sure they would be glad to see you.
15:39I've put some food for them in the wagon.
15:42Cheese, corn, bread.
15:44Could we all go?
15:45I would like that.
15:46Very well.
15:47But be careful, David,
15:49and remember the prophecy.
15:51Yes, Father.
15:56We should be there soon.
15:58Do you think Saul's army can handle the Philistines?
16:00It won't be easy.
16:01They're a strong people
16:02and their weapons are better than ours.
16:04The town's kind of one-sided.
16:05It isn't.
16:06If they invade, we will be fighting for our homeland
16:09and the Lord will be with us.
16:11I see some tents.
16:21It seems peaceful.
16:22That's a good sign.
16:25Where might I find the sons of Jesse of Bethlehem?
16:28There they are.
16:30Eliab, Abinadab.
16:32Well, the stray lamb returns again.
16:35You're all well?
16:36No wounds?
16:37No, none.
16:38We're quite well.
16:39Father was worried.
16:40We all were.
16:41We received no news at all.
16:42How goes the battle?
16:43Yeah, did you do a little rock'em, suck'em?
16:46Look, cheese and bread and corn.
16:48That's sure welcome.
16:50Have the Philistines showed up yet?
16:52David, we appreciate your coming,
16:54but this isn't really the place for you.
16:56So we'll just unload the food,
16:58then you can go back and tell Father all is well.
17:01Something's wrong.
17:02What is it?
17:05Sheep of Israel,
17:07will today be the day?
17:10Choose a man.
17:12I defy you.
17:14There must be one man of courage in the army of Judah.
17:18What about you?
17:21Or you?
17:23Or you?
17:32Is he gone?
17:34And if he isn't, I am.
17:36Why does no one fight him?
17:38Who is this Philistine who defies you?
17:40Goliath of Gath.
17:42He has made this challenge every day.
17:44For how long?
17:46The past 40 days.
17:4840 days, and no Israelite has answered him?
17:51Even though King Saul has pledged
17:53that whoever of us goes out and saves us from shame
17:56will receive his reward.
17:58Whoever of us goes out and saves us from shame
18:00will receive great riches and high rank.
18:03And the king's own daughter will be given to him as his wife.
18:06Any guy who goes against that gorilla
18:08will get the king's daughter as his widow.
18:10I don't understand why you are all so fearful.
18:13What do you mean you don't understand?
18:15Did you note his size?
18:17And his armor?
18:18No one can beat him.
18:20All we can do is wait and pray for a miracle.
18:23He is but a man,
18:24and no true soldier of Israel should stand in fear of him.
18:27You have no right to talk so big.
18:29You know nothing of fighting, only of tending sheep.
18:32Why did you come here anyway?
18:34Our father asked.
18:35You wanted to peek out from behind a tree and see a battle.
18:38But I see no battle.
18:40Only one lone enemy who dishonors us.
18:42If no one else will fight the Philistine, I will.
18:45You?
18:46Yes, and gladly.
18:48But not for riches,
18:49but because he stands for evil and he would enslave us.
18:55You wish to fight the Philistine?
18:57Yes, my king.
18:58I brought food for my brothers, and I heard the challenge.
19:01David, your spirit pleases me.
19:04But Goliath is a soldier much learned of war and weapons,
19:08and a giant in strength.
19:10You are but a youth, a poet, a shepherd.
19:14And as a shepherd, I have fought against lions and bears,
19:18huge beasts who came to take our lambs,
19:20and I have slain them.
19:22To this Philistine, I will do the same
19:24as he threatens to take the land from our people.
19:27He's in with the king now.
19:28Our little David, how can he be so foolish?
19:31He should never have come here.
19:33David has a mind of his own.
19:35Don't worry.
19:36You're getting upset over nothing.
19:38The king will never allow such a mismatch, never.
19:41Oh, very well.
19:43And may the Lord go with you.
19:46David, here, my best armor for you to wear.
19:50The armor will protect you.
19:52There is not time, my king.
19:54These are strange to me.
19:56But you need their protection.
19:58With respect, sire, I need no protection.
20:01I go not to defend myself, but to attack.
20:07But you must have a weapon.
20:10I need only my staff and sling.
20:13When the Philistine comes tomorrow, I'll be ready.
20:16He fights the giant with just a stick and a sling?
20:20He will not survive.
20:22He did against the lions and bears.
20:24But sire, in good conscience,
20:27how can you send one so young?
20:29There is something about David.
20:32A purity of soul that somehow reassures me.
20:36Perhaps such faith and courage
20:38is the only way we can ever match the might of Goliath.
20:47Let's get out of here!
20:49Let's get out of here!
20:57Let's get out of here!
21:17Israelites! I ask again!
21:21Send forth a man that we may fight together!
21:31We can't let this happen.
21:33I will go in his place.
21:35Too late. David is there.
21:37What is this?
21:39You come to fight Goliath?
21:42Is a boy the best the tribes of Israel can send?
21:46I am a soldier of the Lord.
21:49A soldier? I see no weapons.
21:52A stick!
21:54Am I a dog that you come at me with a stick?
21:57And I shall defeat you even without it.
22:00For your insolence, I will carve your flesh
22:05and feed it to the fowls of the air
22:08and the beasts of the field.
22:16It is you, Goliath of Gath,
22:18whose flesh will be fed to the beasts this day.
22:21So all the earth will know there is a God in Israel.
22:25This will put you and your God to rest.
22:29And then all of Judah will be taken over by these,
22:33your Philistine men.
22:35Not upon this day, for the battle is the Lord's.
22:38I come armed with the name of the Lord of Hosts,
22:41which is the mightiest weapon of all.
22:43Enough! Let us see how mighty he is.
23:05Raaah!
23:36Raaah!
23:49Goliath is dead!
23:56David, you did it! You did it!
23:59Victory is ours!
24:05And David had success in all his undertakings,
24:08for the Lord was with him.
24:10And when King Saul saw that he had great success,
24:13he stood in awe of him.
24:16Margot, Moki, come on.
24:18We have a long way to go.
